Chapter 67 Summoning the Spirits of the Ancestors
"Ling'er, Yan'er, don't tell anyone about this!" Zhao Shi said to them seriously.
Zhao Shi didn’t know what the consequences would be if he spoke such things into this world, but now his strength was still very low, so he just had to survive and develop.
"Ok!"
"Ok!"
The mother and daughter naturally knew this and nodded vigorously.
However, they couldn't hide the excitement on their faces.
They now understood why the Zhao family had to live in seclusion. It was obviously because their country was in ruins that they had no choice but to go into the mountains and hide their identities.
In this way, it is easier to explain why Zhao Shi had bows and crossbows.
As members of the royal family, even if they were in poverty, they would still have a large group of attendants, maids, etc. following them, so it would not be surprising that they had a master craftsman who could make bows and crossbows.
Zhao Yan carefully unpacked the package and took out the tablet.
The tablet is not exquisite, on the contrary the workmanship is a bit rough, but anyone who sees it can tell at a glance that it is very old.
Jiang Ling'er and Zhao Yan looked up and saw the tablet between them with the words "Ancestor, Zhao Yun, the spirit tablet of Zhao Zilong!"
"Brother Shi, which ancestor of our family is this?" Jiang Linger naturally saw the name on the tablet and felt that the name was extraordinary. The character 'Zilong' was not a character that ordinary people could have.
"This ancestor is the founder of our Zhao family. It is because of him that we have the Zhao family we have today!" Zhao Shi said with emotion as he looked at the ancestor's tablet.
indeed!
Nowadays, Zhao Yun's name is also a household name. Although we only know it from the novels, it cannot be denied that the saying of the Five Tiger Generals has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
It was because of him that the Zhao family prospered.
In other words, it is because of him that the Zhao family can be remembered and passed down in an orderly manner.
"what!"
After hearing what Zhao Shi said and knowing the origin of this ancestor, Jiang Ling covered her mouth with one hand and exclaimed again.
This morning brought her more surprises or joys than she had in the whole year.
this.
She thought that the ancestor on the tablet was the direct ancestor of Zhao Shi's lineage, but she didn't expect it to be the real ancestor of the Zhao family.
"Dad, is the ancestor the emperor?"
Zhao Yan'er also asked curiously.
"No, the ancestor is a general, a general!" Zhao Shi shook his head and said.
Zhao Shi did not say more about his ancestor.
The mother and daughter didn't ask any more questions.
However, now they also know some of the Zhao family's heritage, which makes them particularly excited.
"Yan'er, try to see if you can communicate with the ancestor!" Zhao Shi said.
"Yeah!" Zhao Yan'er nodded vigorously.
Zhao Yan'er understood that if they could summon this ancestor to show his power, then she and her mother would be able to hold their heads high even when they returned to the family.
Not only Zhao Yan'er understood, Jiang Ling'er understood as well.
Since her man was summoned by Yan'er, it meant that the old ancestor definitely did not appear in person. If he had appeared in person, he would not have allowed Zhao Shi to take the tablet away.
Zhao Yan'er put the ancestor's tablet in place, then placed the incense burner in front of the tablet, lit the incense, and knelt down in front of the ancestor's tablet.
"Zhao Yan, a descendant of the Zhao family, respectfully invites the ancestor to show his divine power!"
"Oh!"
"Zhao Yan, the descendant of Zhao Shi, respectfully invites the ancestor to show his divine power!"
"bang"
"Zhao Yan, the descendant of Zhao Shi, respectfully invites you to come."
Zhao Yan, kneeling on the ground, looked at the tablet solemnly, then spoke loudly, and kowtowed once after each time she said it.
Soon, a bruise appeared on Zhao Yan's forehead.
Looking at his daughter's appearance, Zhao Shi felt distressed, especially the bruise on her forehead, which was even bleeding.
"Yan'er."
Zhao Shi spoke, wanting his daughter to stop. In his opinion, it didn't matter even if he couldn't summon the ancestor, because even if the ancestor appeared, he would not be more special than him.
What's more, this is more like an experiment for Zhao Shi.
But just as he said this, Jiang Linger, who had always obeyed him, quickly came up to him and shook her head at Zhao Shi with a stubborn look on her face.
She knew that the child's father loved his daughter, so how could she not feel sorry for him too?
But some things have to be done.
If the ancestor appeared, then their family's hope of surviving in this chaotic world would certainly increase greatly.
She had heard that the more powerful a person was during his lifetime, the longer he had been dead, and the more incense he had, the stronger his power would be after he became an ancestor spirit. The ancestor was the founder of the family and a general.
Once he becomes a saint, one can imagine his power.
"Dad, I'm fine. I will definitely be able to summon the ancestor out!" Zhao Yan also noticed the situation of her parents and saw her father's worry. She turned her head and said something to Zhao Shi, then kowtowed sincerely again.
Time passes little by little.
The incense sticks gradually burned down.
Zhao Shi knew that this summoning had failed.
Not only Zhao Shi knew it, Ling'er and her daughter also realized that they had failed this time when they saw the incense sticks that were about to burn out.
But that's okay.
No one has ever succeeded in summoning the ancestral spirits.
Just like when he summoned Zhao, it took five or six times before he succeeded.
Suddenly, Zhao Yan, who was kneeling, froze there.
"Yan'er, it's okay. It doesn't matter if you can't summon it. The family has summoned the spirit of the ancestor countless times, but has not succeeded so far!"
Zhao Shi saw his daughter in a daze and quickly tried to comfort her.
This was just an experiment for him, and he didn't want his daughter to blame herself for it.
"Yes, Yan'er, it doesn't matter if it fails the first time, let's try a few more times!" Jiang Ling'er also comforted her daughter.
With Zhao Shi around, she is no longer as anxious as before.
"No, Dad, Mom, I can communicate with the spirits of my ancestors." Zhao Yan was a little moved when she heard her parents' words, but she said with a smile on her face.
"What? Have you communicated with the spirit of the ancestor? Zhao Shi exclaimed when he heard this.
If we can really communicate with the spirits of our ancestors, it means that many of the spirits of our ancestors on Blue Star can manifest themselves in this world.
And isn't this exactly the purpose of his experiment?
"Yan'er, is it true?" Jiang Ling'er asked in disbelief.
She just wanted her daughter to experiment. Even though she was so eager for her daughter to summon the spirit of the ancestor, she also knew that it was difficult to summon the ancestor's spirit. Many families had failed in this attempt. It was a stroke of luck that her family could summon the spirit of the child's father.
“I can really communicate with the spirit of my ancestors, but it’s very strange!”
Zhao Yan nodded first, then said with a puzzled look on her face.
"Why is it weird?"
Jiang Linger asked.
"I am communicating with the spirit of my ancestor. I am very sure of this because the spirit of my ancestor and the spirit of my father give me a different feeling."
"When I summoned my father, his spirit seemed to be active, but the spirit of the ancestor was like a pool of stagnant water. Even after communicating with the ancestor, there was no response!"
"And the strangest thing is, when I communicated with the spirit of my ancestors, I did not communicate through the tablet of my ancestors, but through my father's spirit!"
Zhao Yan said in confusion.
This was the reason why she was stunned just now.
Although communication does not mean successful summoning, it can be considered half successful. However, when she communicated successfully, it was not through the tablet, but through her father's spirit.
Ok?
Zhao Shi was also stunned.
Then he fell into deep thought.
He said he had a strange feeling just now.
It was as if there was a special aura connecting him, the ancestor's tablet, and Zhao Yan.
Hearing his daughter's words he understood where this strange feeling came from.
wrong!
It cannot be said that Zhao Yan failed to communicate successfully.
Indeed, Zhao Yan had just communicated with him, but he had developed a connection with the tablet.
The Demon Suppression Division said that summoning ancestral spirits uses the tablet as an anchor to communicate with the ancestral spirits, but there was a change here. It was no longer anchored by the tablet, but by his spirit tablet.
Is it
After a moment, Zhao Shi thought of a possibility.
Since his spirit can travel between the two worlds, does that mean his spirit becomes the channel connecting the two worlds?
The more Zhao Shi thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Even though Zhao Yan has the blood of the Xia Kingdom, it is almost impossible for her to successfully summon the ancestral spirits.
Spirit does not come from nothing.
But after a person dies, it exists between heaven and earth.
The summoning of descendants is simply through the use of incense sticks, tablets, and the contact with the spirits that exist between heaven and earth. Then, through the guidance of the power of the incense sticks, the spirits that originally wandered between heaven and earth are allowed to reside on the tablets.
