Chapter 44 Past
"Is there anything you can teach me about the ancestral spirits, Master Bao?"

Zhao Shi asked.

This person seems to know something about the ancestral spirits. Now that this opportunity is rare, Zhao Shi naturally doesn't want to give it up.

Now he is figuring out everything on his own.

I don’t know how other people’s ancestors knew how to deal with evil spirits.

"ancestor"

Cough cough cough.
Mr. Bao was speaking when suddenly, a violent cough was heard in the tavern.

This burst of coughing interrupted the two people who were talking.

"Mr. Bao, please move!" Zhao Shi said.

After saying that, he walked towards the backyard.

Bao Ye followed Zhao Shi holding the incense burner.

After a few breaths, the two arrived at the ancestral hall.

Ancestral hall!

It can be said to be the most important place for a family.

That's why he said that Jiang Ling'er was very kind-hearted by allowing women and children to hide in her room.

"Master Zhao, your family has never had a man and has never had an ancestral hall. You may know very little about it. The ancestral hall is the most sacred place for a family. In some large families, not only are strangers not allowed to enter, even women are not allowed to enter."

Bao Ye hesitated for a moment in front of the door of the ancestral hall before following Zhao Shi in. After entering the ancestral hall, Bao Ye told Zhao Shi about the rules of the ancestral hall, but when he thought about the special circumstances of the Zhao family, he had to swallow the rest.

The Zhao family!
Now there are only two women.

Where is Zhao Shi?
Or was he summoned by two women?
What can I do?
If women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, who will burn incense for Zhao Shi?

What's more, the ancestor spirit Zhao Shi has just made up for his innate deficiencies.

It all depends on Jiang Ling'er and her daughter's perseverance in offering incense to the gods.

He knew how many incense sticks the mother and daughter had bought during this period of time.

At the same time, he also followed behind the two of them and helped them solve a lot of problems. Otherwise, the name of the Song family martial arts school alone would not be able to control so many people.

The Zhao family has a treasure!
This word has spread among some independent warriors and gangs.

For the independent martial artists who only make a quick buck and then leave, the deterrent effect of the Song family martial arts school is not as great as imagined.

The reason why no one harasses the Zhao family now is because he has taken action several times and severely intimidated a group of people.

Among them is a warrior at the second level.

He hung it directly at the door of a gang for public display.

It is both a threat and a deterrent.

Of course, no one thought that it was him who took action. They all thought that it was the old owner of the Song Martial Arts School who had been keeping an eye on the Zhao family.

Where is Zhao Shi?
Come to the open space in front of the tablet and sit cross-legged.

Of course, although he looked like he was sitting cross-legged, Zhao Shi was actually just floating there and he could not touch any object at all.

As for Bao Ye, he looked around the ancestral hall and then sat on the ground as well. However, unlike Zhao Shi who sat cross-legged, Bao Ye leaned directly against the pillar in the room and sat there lazily.

The floor of the ancestral hall is made of bluestone.

A large bluestone measuring half a meter square is rarely seen in ordinary families. Some people say that the ancestors of the Zhao family were also wealthy, but unfortunately a fire burned down a good house, leaving only this small courtyard.

But with the passing of the old people, the fire and the once magnificent mansion have become history and legend.

“I don’t know if he’s still there!”

After sitting down, Master Bao patted the large bluestone beside him and muttered to himself.

"Ok?"

"what?"

Zhao Shi heard it and looked at Bao Ye with some confusion.

"Hehe!" Uncle Bao laughed excitedly, and his two hands inserted directly into the gaps on both sides of the bluestone like sharp blades.

The gap is made of mud.

But it is three-in-one soil.

It is as hard as iron.

Not to mention a bare palm, even a sharp blade that could be inserted an inch inside would be considered made of fine steel.

What about this one?
A pair of fleshy palms directly inserted.
hiss.
Is this a warrior?

Zhao Shi saw this scene and couldn't help but take a breath and thought. "Get up!"

Bao Ye did not answer Zhao Shi's words, but let out a low shout. Bao Ye's arms, which were originally as skinny as a dead tree, suddenly became muscular and blue veins appeared.

Red clouds rose overhead like a column of red smoke.

The half-meter square bluestone was slowly and forcefully pulled up as Master Bao exerted great effort.

Where is Zhao Shi?
Staring at Master Bao with wide eyes.

Unbelievable!

In other words, the warrior's strength was beyond his imagination.

An old man in his eighties.

Even a warrior, in Zhao Shi's opinion, should have reached the point of exhaustion, and it was unknown how much strength he had left.

Unexpectedly, the warrior's strength was still beyond his imagination.

You know, this is bluestone embedded in the ground, not placed on the ground.

Zhao Shi estimated that on Blue Star, even a small crane like that would not be able to do this so easily.

There is a gap next to it, so it is easy for the crane to work, but in the middle of the paved ground, even the crane cannot work well and it needs to be broken up with an electric pickaxe first.

Grandpa Bao put the large bluestone aside, then dug up the soil underneath the bluestone, revealing a porcelain jar buried in the soil. Looking at the porcelain jar in the soil, there were memories and warmth in Bao Ye's eyes, but it seemed that there was more regret. After a long silence, he took the porcelain jar out of the soil and restored the ground to its original state. Without a close look, you could not tell that this place had been moved.

"Sixty years of daughter's red wine!"

Bao Ye leaned against the pillar again, gently opened the mud seal of the porcelain jar, took a deep sniff, and said with some emotion.

"You buried it?"

Zhao Shi asked.

"Back then, my Jiang family was considered a big family in Qingshan City. Unfortunately, I caused trouble and caused the deaths of more than a hundred members of my family. I am the only one left!"

"The house was burned to ashes, leaving only this small courtyard!"

"It's not that the other party can't kill me, but they want me to live, to live in pain and regret!"

"That year, in order to continue the Jiang family's incense, I married Ling'er's grandmother. She was my personal maid, and she escaped a disaster because she went back to her mother's home!"

"The next year, Ling'er's grandmother gave birth to a girl. In order not to implicate them and to seek revenge, I chose to leave."

"Before I left, I buried this jar of daughter's red wine, thinking that I would drink it when my daughter got married. I didn't expect that I would be gone for fifty years."

Bao Ye seemed to be lost in memories. He drank, cried, and talked about the past years in a rambling manner.

Do you believe Zhao Shi?

letter!
It's just that I believe it one point more than the original five points.

It's just one more point.

Zhao Shi did not disturb Bao Ye. Even when the incense sticks burned out and his figure disappeared in the ancestral hall, he did not disturb him.

I don’t know how long it took.

Only then did Bao Ye notice that Zhao Shi was missing.
So he relit the incense to pray to the gods.

But Zhao Shi was no longer there.

"Please come and see me, Master Zhao!" Master Bao naturally knew that Zhao Shi had returned to the tablet, or in other words, this was the only place where the ancestral spirits could stay.

Soon, Zhao Shi's figure reappeared in the ancestral hall.

"I'm sorry to make Master Zhao laugh! When people get old, they tend to be a bit nagging!"

Master Bao bowed and said with some surprise.

Bao Ye felt a little embarrassed, maybe it was because the scene brought back sad memories, or maybe it was because he had grown old and loved to reminisce about the past.

In recent years, he often recalled the past.

He originally thought that revenge was very important, but after he killed his enemy's family with his own hands, he has already forgotten what they looked like.

However, his wife and children, who seemed to have been forgotten by him, were deeply engraved in his mind.

The woman's roar and smile.

The loud cry of my daughter.

I can't forget it.

Unfortunately, many things can no longer be undone.
