Chapter 87: Visiting a mountain and worshipping the ancestors (Seeking follow-up reading)

After entering the tavern, the sturdy men took a look and saw that in addition to the waiters who greeted them, there was an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties sitting at the counter. They breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to Wang Meng, "Waiter, bring up all your good wine and food!"

"Gentlemen, our shop owner requires a clear payment method and does not cheat anyone. Therefore, before you eat, some things need to be explained clearly to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future!" Wang Meng did not rush to get the meat or vegetables, but said politely.

"Bang! You bastard."

Hearing Wang Meng's words, the bearded man stood up and angrily slammed the table. He opened his mouth to curse, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by the man with the rough voice. The rough man said with a smile on his face: "Little brother, is there any rule for eating here?"

"There are no rules, but there are some things that need to be made clear in advance. If you can accept it, you can stay for dinner. If you can't accept it, I think you can find a place to stay before it's over!"

"You came to our little shop on purpose, probably for the protection of our ancestors, so each of you needs to pay one or two taels of silver as a table fee. As long as you pay this, you can stay in the tavern until dawn!"

"Also, what we sell here is a kind of gourmet food with an exclusive secret recipe. If you don't like the taste, your money will not be refunded. Of course, you can also eat some ordinary food!"

"The last one is the most important one. Before eating, sincerely worship the ancestors and thank them for their blessings!"

Wang Meng spoke politely, but his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.

Although these people looked difficult to deal with, and some of them might even be warriors who had achieved breakthroughs, Wang Meng didn't care at all. Not to mention the unpredictable methods of the patriarch, they now knew that Bao Ye sitting at the counter was also a warrior.

It is quite remarkable that such a small tavern has a warrior in charge.

"Do you really have ancestral spirits guarding here?" the rough man asked curiously after looking around.

There is no tavern where the ancestor spirit resides, not only in Qingshan County, but also in other places, not even in the provincial capital.

Ancestral spirits are mysterious, but they are also fragile compared to warriors. Once the tablet of the ancestral spirit is destroyed, the ancestral spirit is more than half destroyed. Therefore, whether it is a large family or an ordinary family, they will hide the tablet tightly, for fear that something will happen to the ancestral spirit. Now? Are they actually using the ancestral spirit to open a tavern?
I don’t know whether to say that they are ignorant and fearless, or that they are crazy about money.

"Of course!"

"No one dares to use the name of the ancestor spirit!"

"You must have asked around when you entered the city. There is an evil spirit causing chaos in Anpingfang. Without the presence of the ancestral spirits, how dare so many people gather here?"

When talking about his ancestors, Wang Meng held his head high and chest puffed out with a proud look on his face.

They admired the magic and unpredictable methods of their master.

Looking at Wang Meng, the rough man smiled and said, "Can you please ask the ancestral spirit to show up? If there is really an ancestral spirit, it's just a little money, we will naturally not be stingy!"

"You can see the ancestral spirits, but you need to bring your own incense!" At this time, Master Bao behind the counter spoke.

Just now he had sensed that Zhao Shi was here.

Especially since today is the first day of opening, if we want to make the place famous, the appearance of the ancestors is essential.

"It should!"

The rough man said.

For those who travel around the country, praying incense is a must-have item with them. If they go to a strange place and encounter evil spirits, praying incense may save their lives.

Only by offering incense to the gods can one gain the protection of the unknown ancestral spirits.

All this information was obtained at the cost of many lives. When they were escorting goods, they would pay homage to the mountains when they met them, and offer sacrifices to bandits to allow them to pass through when they met them. Now, with evil spirits causing chaos and ancestral spirits appearing in the world, it is only natural for them to burn a stick of incense and ask for protection when they meet ancestral spirits.

Especially now that they are really in trouble.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here on purpose after seeing the notice at the city gate.

According to their thinking, since there is a city and people, staying overnight in a family with ancestral spirits is just a matter of spending a little more money.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is hard to come by, and few people in families with ancestral spirits are willing to receive strangers.

Threatening with human life?

It's fine when you haven't encountered evil spirits, but if you still do this after encountering evil spirits, are you afraid that you won't die fast enough?
Whether the ancestral spirits protect you or not is entirely up to the ancestral spirits.

How is it possible to threaten someone's descendants and still expect to receive their protection?

Just when they were worrying about this, a young man soliciting customers at the city gate gave them the address of the tavern.

The rough man took the incense stick and inserted it into the incense burner on the counter. Then he knelt down respectfully with several of his men and said, "Guo Wei, the chief escort of Changwei Escort Agency, now leads the entire escort agency to offer a stick of incense stick to the gods and ask for the protection of the ancestral spirits!"

After saying that, he knelt down. No matter how arrogant they were at other times, they did not dare to neglect it at this time, especially since they encountered an evil spirit during this escort mission, and there were only five of them left in the escort agency with dozens of people.

Arrogance is also due to the evil fire in their hearts or the fear of encountering evil spirits, which makes them vent in this way.

Ah!
hiss.
When they finished their greetings and stood up, they saw a young man appear in the tavern without them noticing.

Looking at this young man who suddenly appeared, several people couldn't help but exclaimed.

Some even gasped.

Ancestral spirits!

The ancestral spirit just appeared like that.

It made them a little confused.

You know, they had encountered ancestral spirits when they were escorting goods. They also offered a stick of incense to invite the gods, but the ancestral spirits they met did not show up. They also confirmed whether it was a real ancestral spirit based on the burning speed of the incense.

What about today?
As soon as the incense was lit, the ancestral spirit appeared
How could they not be confused?

This was the first time they saw the ancestral spirits.

no way!
It is too difficult to summon the ancestral spirits to appear. It can be said that it is completely random. It does not mean that you can summon the ancestral spirits to appear just because you have a wealthy family and a breakthrough warrior.

Bao Ye is the proof.

Master Bao is the master of marrow refining. His family has been passed down for hundreds of years. Although the tablets were burned at that time, he remade the tablets of the ancestors of the Jiang family, but he still has not succeeded in summoning them.

And what about Zhao Yaner?
It was also a newly made tablet, but it summoned Zhao Shi, who had just died more than ten years ago.

There isn't a shred of truth to it.

"Guo Wei from the Changwei Escort Agency pays homage to the ancestors!" After a moment, Guo Wei reacted and respectfully saluted towards Zhao Shi again.

The escort leader with the screw-beard was no longer arrogant and followed Guo Wei nervously to pay homage to the ancestral spirits.

The impact on them is very different whether the ancestral spirits simply absorb the incense in the incense stick or show up.

"Did you encounter any evil spirits?"

Zhao Shi nodded to them and asked seriously.

Evil spirit.

This was the closest he had ever been to evil.

Now, Zhao Shi knew nothing about evil spirits. This was obviously a good opportunity, especially since these people had marks of evil spirits on them, so there was a great possibility of attracting evil spirits.

Zhao Shi didn't say anything about this.

He also wanted to see what the evil was like, or at least understand it so that he could come up with a way to deal with it.

Today is different from the past. In this chaotic world where evil spirits are rampant, it is inevitable that you will encounter evil spirits in the future. Encountering them now will help you avoid confusion in the future.

Well.
Guo Wei and his companions were stunned when they heard this and asked, "How did the ancestors know?"

They didn't expect that this ancestor spirit actually knew that they had encountered evil spirits. You know, apart from themselves, no one else in Qingshan County knew that they had encountered evil spirits.

"You have the mark of evil on you! As long as this mark is there, I think the evil spirit will find you no matter where you hide!"

"what?"

"Mark?"

Guo Wei and his companions were shocked when they heard this, and their faces suddenly changed.

letter!
There is no reason not to believe it!
From the time when someone from the escort agency was killed by the evil spirit until now, they have traveled more than a hundred kilometers in three days. No matter where they go, they can be found by the evil spirit, as if the evil spirit has been following them.

Even after a long day of traveling, evil spirits can still come to your door at night.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it.
