The master could not tell the Feng family what he was thinking. He had heard that Mr. Feng did not like snakes or anything related to snakes, otherwise he would not have moved the ancestral hall from Xiaofeng Mountain, where there were snakes, to here.
Never mind, everything is predestined.
Coming out of the Buddhist temple, the master looked up at the sky.
The obstructing clouds had dissipated, the sun was high in the sky, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
But they know that is not the case.
Although they were not members of the Feng clan, they could still feel the strangeness when the scriptures were chanted.
When he was about to leave the ancestral hall, the master paused, turned towards the direction of the ancestral hall, clasped his hands together, bowed, and then left.
After the monks left, the clan members started talking excitedly again.
"Who was that monk greeting just now?"
"You can't see that? Of course it's the ancestors!"
"So, the ancestor really showed his spirit just now?!"
"Looking at the master's reaction, it's definitely not an evil spirit, it must be our ancestors! Should we kowtow again? I wasn't sincere enough when I burned incense and worshipped before, I will definitely be more sincere this time! I will kowtow louder than before!"
“No matter how sincere you are and how loudly you kowtow, the people they protect in this place are the Feng family of Yangcheng, not you. Besides… the ancestors here seem to be in a bad mood, so don’t make things worse!”
"That's right. What on earth are the Feng family from Yangcheng doing? They can mess this up?!"
Mocking, questioning, dodging, gloating...
The looks from the clan members made Grandpa Feng's heart choke and his steps stagger.
Uncle Feng Yi was watching from the side, frightened: "Quick, quick, quick! Help the old man go in and have some rest!"
He signaled to his people to help the old man take some medicine and calm down. If something really happened here, it would be difficult to deal with.
Regarding the ancestor worship ceremony, let alone the clan members, the people of the Feng family in Yangcheng felt more complicated and nervous than Feng Yi when he was burning incense!
This ancestral hall, from site selection to design, including the details such as the Buddha statues placed inside, was all handled by the old man.
Is there anything that violates our ancestors' taboos
Do ancestors really appear in spirit
Is there really something wrong with the feng shui here
Wait for these...
We dare not ask, and we dare not advise.
People around were discussing heatedly, but Feng Yi did not join in.
He guessed that the master's behavior just now was probably just a vague perception of some extraordinary factors, and he might not know more.
Feng Yi had no interest in knowing what the master was thinking. He was just thinking:
Our clan has existed for so long, did our ancestors have acquaintances in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism
Our ancestors are awesome!
When will DNA move more and unlock more memories? Feng Yi wants to see a few things about his ancestors and old acquaintances!
How about we go to a Taoist temple and take a walk next time
There will be a banquet after the ceremony.
Originally, the Feng family in Yangcheng had arranged vegetarian meals for the masters, but it was not known whether the master and his disciples had other plans or other reasons, but they refused the meal arrangements and left after the ceremony ended.
The old man did not attend the banquet because he was not feeling well.
The outstanding clan leaders that Mr. Feng had taken great pains to invite are now not following Mr. Feng's plan at all.
Have a banquet
I'm in no mood for a banquet!
They went to block Old Man Feng.
Although the Feng family in Yangcheng said that the old man was not feeling well and had to go to rest, the clan elders believed that the old man saw that the situation was not right and hid away!
hide
You still dare to hide
What's the point of you hiding when the ancestor worship ceremony is in such a mess?!
Why don’t we quickly discuss how to let our ancestors rest in peace!
People who hold this belief attach great importance to ancestral tombs and ancestral halls.
All the business cooperation development plans and clan members' management and operation, just throw them all aside for now!
You must first explain to me clearly why such a thing happened in the ancestral hall? !
What caused the ancestors to make such a fuss? !
Was the grave moved incorrectly
Is it because the feng shui of the ancestral hall is not good
Several elders of higher generations specifically told Grandpa Feng: "You must appease the ancestors! I know a reliable master. Let him take a look and see if the feng shui of this place is really bad. If there is really no other way, how about moving back to the original place?"
“No matter how magnificently the ancestral hall is built, it’s useless if the ancestors don’t like it!”
"The place that the deceased elders chose was Xiaofeng Mountain? Who knows, the Feng Shui there might be really good!"
These Zongxian's words one after another were simply stabbing the old man in the heart.
He endured for so many years and spent so much effort, and finally moved the ancestral hall here and moved the ancestors' graves down from the mountain...
Now you want me to move back
Where is the face? !
After doing so much, is it just a joke in the end
Over there, the clan elders were vying to do ideological work for Grandpa Feng, and over here the banquet was also very lively.
The person who secretly took the video with his mobile phone took out the video and watched it, and became more and more dissatisfied the more he watched.
Nothing was captured!
The simple image cannot express the feeling of fear and goosebumps just now!
Whoever sees these videos will only see clouds blocking the sun, monks chanting in front, people watching around, and a breeze blowing...
Apart from that, the most crucial part cannot be expressed at all!
It was a lonely photo shoot!
Some people also hold different views on the abnormalities that occurred during this ancestor worship ceremony:
"Maybe it's not something supernatural, maybe it's just a kind of hypnosis or psychological suggestion?"
"Indeed, in some large-scale hypnosis scenes, from the light and color, the smell and temperature, to the music and the decorative atmosphere, when everything is just right and people are focused, they will naturally enter a hypnotic state and receive certain psychological hints."
"So what you mean is that due to so many coincidences, everyone accidentally accepted hypnosis?"
“It’s possible!”
"You can contact the TV station to shoot a science exploration program."
Uncle Zhen felt deeply about this. He did not think it was a manifestation of the ancestors, but rather some other reason.
However, there are many details that cannot be recorded by mobile phones!
"If my intelligent mechanical Qilin were here, it could collect more data!"
"What a shame! Why don't you let my Qilin in!
”
The more he thought about it, the more regrettable it felt. Uncle Zhen went to Uncle Feng Yi with a rare friendly look and asked him:
"Are you going to hold ancestor worship again during the Ghost Festival?"
When the relatives who were nearby heard this, they all looked over, and more than ten pairs of eyes were shining with anticipation.
Uncle Feng Yi: “…”
Even if I had had this thought before the ceremony, I no longer have it now.
impossible!
Such a frustrating thing is enough to happen once, who the hell wants to experience it a second time
Who knows if something even more terrible will happen the second time? !
The Feng family in Yangcheng didn't want to continue talking about the ancestral hall, but the clan members were still very enthusiastic and the banquet was even more lively.
Of course, we also talked about the feng shui of the ancestral hall and its old site, and inevitably talked about Xiaofeng Mountain.
Some people thought that even if the Feng family in Yangcheng didn't like it, they could still do it themselves. Although they are not from the same clan now, they all have a common ancestor!
"Look, when the ancestral hall of the Feng family in Yangcheng was in Xiaofeng Mountain, the fortune was so good! Now that it has been changed, oh wow, something is wrong!"
"Xiaofeng Mountain is definitely a Feng Shui treasure land!"
"I was wondering if my ancestral grave could be moved to Xiaofeng Mountain?"
"If relocating the graves is not an option, why not build a ancestral hall on Xiaofeng Mountain? It doesn't need to be too big, a small one will do. If the ancestors are happy, won't they bless their descendants?"
Someone picked up the phone to consult the relevant personnel on the spot, but the reply they got was -
According to current management regulations, the management of the cemeteries near Xiaofengshan is not that strict. You just need to pay the money.
But if you want to build a new building on the mountain, it’s too difficult! Every review takes a long time!
The ancestral home of the Feng family in Yangcheng is now privately owned and has nothing to do with the Feng family in Yangcheng.
"I heard that the place has been renovated. It is no longer used as a ancestral hall, but as a private residence. That person has been waiting for a long time, and finally waited for the Feng family in Yangcheng to move the ancestral hall away. As soon as the ancestral hall was moved here, he couldn't wait to renovate the place!"
“Once you move out, it’s very difficult to move back.”
"You can't go through the legal route, as they are in legal possession. If you put pressure on them privately... that may not be effective. How can an ordinary person occupy a piece of land on Xiaofeng Mountain and live in peace until now?"
The more I talk about it, the more I feel sorry for the Feng family in Yangcheng.
Xiaofengshan is such a great place! They actually moved out!
Which Feng Shui master did you ask? You must avoid this person from now on!
"You have poor vision!"
It is not clear whether this is referring to Mr. Feng or the Feng Shui master.
But no matter what, the attitude of the clan members towards the Feng family in Yangcheng has changed.
The Feng family of Yangcheng lacks foresight and luck. We don’t know how big a risk we will have to take if we cooperate with them. It’s obvious that they are on a downward slope. Even their ancestors favor Feng Yi, who was expelled from the family!
Looking at it this way, the business that Mr. Feng had discussed before...
Think about it again, think about it carefully again!
No matter what other people were thinking, or whether they were in a good or bad mood, Feng Yi enjoyed his meal at the banquet.
Originally, Feng Chi kept whispering in his ear about "the colorful life in this world". After Feng Yi repeatedly emphasized that he had no such idea, Feng Chi ran to his uncle to curry his favor.
If you don't make your presence felt, your uncle will leave.
After another wave of clan members came to build relationships with Feng Yi, a young man walked up to Feng Yi.
"Brother Snake?" The young man spoke with a slight accent, seeming a little reserved.
"Just call me by my name." Feng Yi said.
The young man thought about the information he had learned. Feng Yi should be a little older than him, so he said:
"Well, Brother Yi."
"Let's sit down and talk." Feng Yi pointed to the seat next to him.
"Why."
Feng Shou sat down, "Actually, I wanted to come look for you before the ceremony started, but I didn't meet you."
Before the ceremony started, they were resting in that room. He heard that some people were taking photos with Feng Yi outside, but when he went there, they had already left.
Feng Shou introduced himself and talked about where he currently lived. His family had long settled overseas in a tropical area. He had a relatively large orchard and the living conditions were pretty good.
"In the past, due to ecological protection and legal restrictions, we were not allowed to kill snakes, and if we caught one we could only throw it far away and release it.
"In the past, the number was indeed small, but in recent years, the number has increased. The frequency of venomous snakes appearing in orchards has increased a lot. Snake repellent drugs are OK for a small area, but it is too difficult to operate on a large scale. Weather factors and costs must be considered, and the effect may not be good.
"Before coming here, I checked online. There's a laboratory in the Ancestral Factory that seems to be researching drugs that can safely repel insects and snakes. But those are still in the research and development stage, and I don't know when they will be ready."
The frequency of venomous snakes has increased. If hired workers in the orchard are bitten, they may not receive timely treatment due to the distance and local medical conditions.
Anti-venom serum and universal drugs for treating snake venom are too expensive and not all available where he lives.
Instead of hoping for price cuts on those drugs, we should think about how to reduce the chances of venomous snakes appearing in orchards.
This time, he came to attend the Feng clan gathering. It was a rare opportunity to meet Feng Yi, who was an expert certified by the Joint Insurance Bureau. Feng Shou came to ask questions with a try-it attitude. In terms of catching snakes, there were actually some experts in the area where they lived. Therefore, what he wanted to solve most now was the problem of poisonous snakes. If he couldn't solve this problem, he would talk about how to catch snakes.
Feng Yi listened to him carefully, but couldn't find a good solution for a while.
He is just a snake catcher, not a professional snake exorcist, and he knows nothing about drug preparation and research and development.
Feng Shou had also tried snake repellent powder and discussed the pros and cons of this method with Feng Yi.
Besides this, is there any other solution
Feng Shou looked distressed. “We have tried planting snake-repellent plants and raising animals that can repel snakes. However, many methods are not suitable for large-scale plantations. I have a piece of land where I grow relatively expensive pollution-free fruits, which are not suitable for spraying pesticides.”
Feng Yi thought about it, then looked at Feng Shou who was already an adult in front of him, and reached into his pocket to take out a copper coin.
"I don't have any effective suggestions, so I'll give you a small gift. It may not be able to repel snakes on a large scale, but if you wear it on your body, poisonous snakes will stay away."
When Feng Yi was calculating the zodiac coins, some information molecules would also be incorporated into the process of creating a layer of patina on the surface of the coins.
After all, it is given to children, and it has a certain effect of repelling insects and snakes.
The old flower model that Feng Yi took out now was the one he used for experiments when he first tried it, and it contained more information molecules.
"It... well, it's been wrapped in something that repels snakes," Feng Yi said.
"Really?!" Feng Shou looked surprised.
He knew that during the Dragon Boat Festival there would be medicine-filled sachets that could repel insects and snakes. Now it seemed that even coins could have the same effect
However, many things about the Feng family cannot be speculated based on common sense.
Moreover, the item in front of him was just made of copper alloy and looked like a newly made toy, not an antique.
Feng Shou thanked him and accepted it.
