Chapter 6 Telling the Heart

"Her father."

"Brother Shi!"

When Zhao Yan lit the incense to call on the gods again, Jiang Linger looked at the tablet and called out excitedly.

"call!"

Zhao Shi, who was in his own world, heard the call, let out a long breath, concentrated his thoughts, and his soul appeared in another world.

After a day of experiments, Zhao Shi discovered that his soul or consciousness had almost no consumption in his own world, but in another world, even if it stayed in the tablet, there would be a certain amount of consumption.

This consumption, based on the incense power obtained during the sacrifice, is one wisp a day.

If it is outside the tablet, the consumption increases tenfold, and the daily consumption is ten strands.

The objects being transported are calculated based on their volume and weight. One strand is needed to transport a needle, while ten strands are needed to transport the cup from yesterday.

Was it the silver ingot that Zhao Shi bought?
He hasn't experimented yet.

It’s not big, but it’s very heavy, so it must have consumed a lot of energy.

"what!"

"Such pure incense power!"

Zhao Shi couldn't help but be startled when he felt the power of the incense coming towards him.

The incense contained in the incense for inviting gods is very powerful, almost one wisp is emitted with every breath. Zhao Shi even discovered that he could independently absorb the incense produced after the burning of the incense for inviting gods.

He took a deep breath, and the speed of burning the incense would increase.

Zhao Shi took several deep breaths in succession, and the flame on the incense suddenly rose, burning shorter at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this rate, he could absorb all the power from the incense in one minute.

Zhao Shi didn't stop until the incense sticks were half burned.

no way.

Yesterday's loss was huge.

If it weren't for the foundation laid by his daughter using incense to invite gods for several consecutive days a few days ago, he would probably have disappeared long ago.

Jiang Linger and her daughter naturally saw it.
But they didn't say anything.

Let Zhao Shi absorb it.

In this world, the existence of ancestral spirits is no secret, and they naturally know why Zhao Shi behaved like this.

I also know why the ancestral spirits exist.

Seeing Zhao Shi stop, Jiang Linger looked at him with some concern and said quickly: "Brother Shi, it's okay, just inhale a little. I'll think of a way to buy some incense to pray to the gods later."

Please pray for the gods!
It is not only useful when summoning ancestral spirits, but burning incense at ordinary times can also replenish the energy of ancestral spirits.

They have heard a lot of such things.

At the corner of the street, Chen the butcher's family would go to the government every five days to buy three incense sticks to replenish energy for their ancestors.

The big families in the city burn incense non-stop every day.

Even if you reach your limit and cannot increase your strength, you can still accumulate the power of incense. Once you encounter evil monsters, the accumulated power of incense will be your foundation.

"No, it's enough for now!"

"Ling'er, you have suffered a lot these years."

Zhao Shi stared at Jiang Linger, and his heart ached when he saw that the face of this once lively and cheerful girl now showed traces of time.

"Not bitter!"

“Brother Shi, Ling’er is not suffering!”

"As long as you can still remember Ling'er and our family, that's enough!" Hearing Zhao Shi's words, Jiang Ling'er could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed down her cheeks. Although she was crying, she had a smile on her face as she comforted Zhao Shi.

"Back then, due to unexpected reasons, I was captured and brought back to the family. When I escaped to look for you, an accident happened."

Zhao Shi did not say that he was from another world, but made up a white lie.

Of course, it’s not a lie. He really encountered force majeure back then.

"I know, I know, Brother Shi must have encountered something unavoidable."

Before Zhao Shi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Ling'er. She wanted to reach out to touch Zhao Shi, but her hand just passed over Zhao Shi's face and touched nothing.

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment when she touched nothing.

people at!

But not here.

The world is in chaos, with demons and evil spirits everywhere, but it is not all bad for her. If the world didn't have this kind of chaos, she would never see Brother Shi again.

"Now that she's dead, can she be with Brother Shi?" Suddenly, this thought emerged in Jiang Linger's mind.

Zhao Shi naturally noticed Jiang Ling'er's abnormality. After a little thought, he roughly understood what she was thinking, so he quickly pointed at Zhao Yan and said, "Ling'er, this is our daughter!"

Zhao Shi's words brought Jiang Ling'er back to her senses.

After Jiang Linger realized what was happening, she quickly collected her thoughts, pulled her daughter Zhao Yan to her side, and introduced her to Zhao Shi, saying, "Brother Shi, this is our daughter Zhao Yan. I remember you said that our children must learn to read and write. I have let Yan'er go to school since she was young!"

"Brother Shi, the only thing I feel sorry for you is that I didn't give you a son to carry on the family line!"

"Ling'er, I..." Zhao Shi wanted to say something, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Jiang Ling'er, "I know, I know that you don't care, Brother Shi. I remember you said that you like daughters, and that daughters are your father's sweet little cotton-padded jacket!"

"But, without a son, the family line can't be passed on. Even if I die, I won't be able to face the ancestors of your Zhao family!"

"In this world, it's possible for ancestors to appear in person!!!"

"How am I going to explain this to my ancestors then!!!"

Jiang Ling'er was a little anxious and kept talking.

Now that Zhao Shi has appeared, the ancestral hall can also enshrine tablets of other ancestors. Once enshrined, it is really possible for the ancestors to appear. According to the Demon Suppression Bureau, the greater the achievements of the ancestors and the more incense they receive on a daily basis, the easier it is for them to appear, and the more powerful they will be after appearing.

She didn't sleep much last night, thinking about what she would do if Zhao Shi's parents or ancestors appeared, how to explain to the old people,

Of course, you can't summon them randomly. Once you summon the ancestral spirits, if there aren't enough incense sticks, the ancestral spirits will dissipate and completely disappear between heaven and earth.

"Ling'er, don't worry! My ancestors are just like me and they prefer daughters!"

Zhao Shi, looking at Ling'er who looked extremely terrified, couldn't help but say something to comfort her.

Jiang Linger didn't believe it at all and said, "Brother Shi, you lied to me again. How could our ancestors prefer daughters to sons?"

Zhao Yan didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhao Shi quietly.

Looking at this man whom she had never met but who had always been in her life.

It is just as my mother said, she has a temperament that ordinary people don't have.

"Haha, that's our family!" Zhao Shi said with a smile.

The spirits of ancestors?
Can you summon it?
How is it possible, there is a world between us?

Even if it is possible, the amount of incense and offerings required would probably be incalculable.

"Girl, Daddy is sorry for you. I haven't been with you for so many years, and you have suffered!" Zhao Shi looked at his daughter and stretched out his hand to touch his daughter's head, but when he touched it, he found nothing. This made Zhao Shi's face become miserable.

I am coming
But I can only see it, not touch it.

This made Zhao Shi, who had been lonely for nearly twenty years, feel very uncomfortable.
