Under Huang Hai’s leadership, we finally came to the East Ancestral Hall, Huang's Ancestral Hall.
The east ancestral hall is bigger than I thought. The walls are filled with grids from top to bottom on both sides. Each grid is placed with tablet tablets. In the middle of the ancestral hall is the ancestor tablet with the highest generation. There are four golden characters on the top. : Rongchang from generation to generation.
The tablet with the highest position reads: Huang Yuanfang, the ancestor of the Huang family. In terms of generation, they are Huang Jizu and Huang Hongwen. There are no descendants under Huang Hongwen.
Huang Hai pointed to the tablet and explained that Huang Jizu's father is Huang Yuanfang, his son is Huang Hongwen, Huang Jizu has no siblings, and Huang Hongwen is also an only son.
According to Huang Hai’s introduction, Big Eye and I speculated that the beast that defiled Zhao Hongyu might be Huang Hongwen’s brother or uncle may no longer exist.
Since there is no such possibility, the culprit seems to be Huang Hongwen's father Huang Jizu.
What a disgusting result.
Seeing that there were no female tablets in the ancestral hall, I asked why. Huang Hai explained that the ancestral hall is a temple for men. Female ancestors do not have a memorial tablet in the ancestral hall. Unless they violate the clan rules and are punished here, they can't even enter.
As for the reason why the clan specially built the west ancestral hall for Zhao Hongyu, Huang Hai’s statement is basically the same as that of Huang Cripple. However, he said that the West Ancestral Hall is just a habitual name of the people. Strictly speaking, it should be called the Punishment Hall, which was specially established for those in the clan who do not observe women's morals.
Seeing Dayan and I were in a daze looking at the memorial tablet of Manchu Temple, Huang Hai rubbed our hands and asked: "Master Big Eye, can you really make me the patriarch? There are many people in the clan who are older than me."
"Choosing a patriarch is not just based on seniority, but also on prestige. If you can help the tribe, that tribe doesn’t support you as the patriarch? You just have to listen to me, and when the matter is over, I will help you talk about it. Sentence, the position of the patriarch belongs to you. I ask you, who presided over the construction of the West Ancestral Hall?"
"Huang Hongwen's grandfather, Huang Yuanfang."
Big eyes frowned, and asked: "How did he know that Zhao Hongyu was not observing women's ways?"
"After so many years, no one can tell the specific reason now."
I asked: "Is there no rumors?"
"No."
With big eyes pursing the posterior molars, he said, "Take us to the ancestral grave. I want to see Huang Jizu's grave."
"There is no graveyard for Huang Jizu, not only his, but neither his father nor his son."
"why?"
"At the time of ***, they said they were the originators of the feudal remnants of Huangjiazhuang, and their tombs were scraped. The ancestral hall was smashed because of the violent disturbance. However, the later patriarchs didn’t know where the bones of three generations of their grandparents I found it, and now their ashes are in the ancestral hall."
"Take it out quickly, I'll take a look." Bigeye said hurriedly.
Huang Hai didn't know exactly where the ashes of the three people were placed, so we had to search aimlessly in the ancestral hall.
I don't know when, the fool also entered the ancestral hall. Huang Hai yelled at him and wanted to drive him out, saying that the fool was not Huang and could not enter the ancestral hall.
The fool smirked at us, indifferent to Huang Hai's drive, and finally squatted on the chair of the ancestral hall. Huang Hai took off his shoes and was about to hit him. He was stopped by Big Eye and I. Big Eye said, "Uncle Huang, it's important to find the ashes now, so don't be angry with the fool."
Seeing Huang Hai panting with anger, I hurriedly asked the topic: "Uncle Huang, are you really sure that the ashes of their grandparents and grandchildren are in the ancestral hall?"
"Of course it's sure, because every year they will be taken out for ancestor worship and worship them as ancestors."
Big Eye sat on the steps of the ancestral hall to meditate. He suddenly remembered something. He walked up to the fool and asked with a smile, "Fool, do you know where the ashes of the ancestors are?"
Huang Hai smirked and said, "Master with big eyes, how can he be a fool know that he is usually not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, you can..."
Before he finished speaking, the fool jumped off the chair, ran to the incense case, pointed at the incense case, and smirked: "Here, here..."
Big Eye immediately climbed on the ground and tapped the slate on the ground with his hand, and made a hollow "boom" sound without a few knocks.
It's empty inside!
The fool actually knew where the ashes were hidden. Is he really stupid or fake
He found a small shovel in the ancestral hall and pried open the square bluestone slab on the ground with his big eyes. A hole suddenly appeared. He reached in and took out three dark glazed porcelain jars.
"It's these three. When we worship our ancestors, we worship these three." Uncle Huang looked at the fool in surprise and said, "How could he know that the ashes are hidden here?"
Big Eye smiled and said, "Probably someone told him." The person mentioned by Big Eye is naturally not a living person, but it is the ghost who died unjustly. Multiple people.
It is estimated that Huang Hai also thought of this, so that he looked a little in awe at the fool's eyes.
The glazed porcelain altars are all the same, and there is no mark. We don't know for a moment whose ashes are. Big Eye asked Huang Hai to find a few people, bring dry firewood and gasoline to the patriarch's yard, and burn the corpse of the patriarch to prevent the ghost from resurrecting the soul.
Dayan and I took three ashes altars and went back to the patriarch's yard first.
Before entering the yard, I heard the cry of women in the yard. When I entered the yard, I saw a dozen women crying around the mummy of the patriarch.
These women are the family members of the patriarch, some crying father, some crying grandfather, and crying grandfather, I guess I know everything thanks to me and Big Eye
, Seeing our eyes are full of resentment.
In a short while, Huang Hai also brought a dozen people to the patriarch's house, holding the chopping wood, and carrying the oil barrel.
"Huang Hai, what do you want to do?" someone from the patriarch asked loudly.
Huang Hai held a shelf and said, "The patriarch's body has been used by the ghost and is not clean. To prevent the ghost from coming back, the master said that the patriarch's body will be burned.
As soon as this was said, the two groups immediately quarreled. The people on the patriarch's side said that Huang Hai deliberately invited two demon men to make trouble. The people on the Huang Hai side said that the patriarch had been killed by a ghost. Manipulation harms the village.
Both of them are resentful women whose men are not at home all year round. They just quarreled the yard, rushing to each other and scratching and scratching.
When the situation was not good, Big Eye immediately pulled me and hid outside of the wall courtyard. I let Big Eye quickly find a way. Big Eye said, lest the world chaos, "Don't worry, let them fight first, and I won't be able to move them. Say it again."
I couldn't figure out what to do with the ashes, staring at the three ashes jars on the ground.
Big eyes vowed: “Of the three dead ghosts, one of them must have occupied the patriarch’s body. The dead ghost is still sealed in the patriarch’s body. When the patriarch’s body is destroyed, there will be nowhere to go. Go back to the ashes altar and bury the three ashes altars together in the West Ancestral Hall."
I was surprised and said, "Isn't that going to let them be with Zhao Hongyu?"
Big eyes showed a smirk, and said: "I want them to kill both ghosts and ghosts. Didn't I say yesterday that in order to imprison Zhao Hongyu's wronged soul, Xicitang was placed in a jealous array by an expert, and it happened to be used by the predecessors The formation trapped them inside."
"You are treating the symptoms but not the root cause, what if you run out again? Didn't Zhao Hongyu run out of it!"
Big eyes patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will explain to Huang Hai afterwards, and let him go to the temple to invite some monks and Taoists to chant the scriptures and superfluous them."
"What about the little girl who pestered Miaomiao? And how do you deal with the evil spirits on the radio?"
Big eyes shook his head and said, "These two things are easy to handle. Send both Miao Miao and the old radio to the West Ancestral Hall."
What he said seemed to make sense. The West Ancestral Hall had the formation of sleepy ghosts. As long as the dirty things were sent to the West Ancestral Hall, those ghosts wouldn't be able to make moths.
What should I do if it's just in front of me? The yard was so noisy that the patriarch’s family wouldn’t let it burn at all.
At this moment, I felt that the sky was getting darker, and the sun was not so strong anymore. I looked up at the sky, and a large black cloud over the sky was rolling over the sky.
A gust of fishy wind blew by, curling up dust and enchanting eyes.
Suddenly, Big Eye jumped up from the ground and said, "It's broken!"
