Chapter 1829: Weird Ancestral Temple
You could say he is paranoid and arrogant, but at the critical moment, he is really willing to give it his all.
For many people, the older they are, the less courageous they become, but there are also people who are simply stubborn by nature. This probably means that character determines destiny.
Qing Hu curled his lips and said, "Now that you have finished speaking, I will be in charge of the response."
She has always been a non-competitive person, and she will only take the initiative when there is an opportunity that others are not aware of.
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly. Everyone’s reaction...he was actually quite happy.
This is how a team should be, everyone suffers together and prospers together, instead of him as the boss having to bear everything.
Otherwise, even if he thinks it is natural, he will inevitably feel a little regretful.
Jia Shuiqing and Duo Gan both stayed in the Dawn Base to help Youyou protect the law while completing the big contract for selling talisman technology.
If the two of them were here now, Qu Jianlei thought, they probably wouldn't let him down, right?
The entire decision-making process was very short, and the four Nascent Souls and two immortal cultivators made the decision.
That was the final decision - Xizhao and Qi Ling had no power to object.
But in fact, the spirit of the weapon also said, "This tiny world is not even as big as my cave."
"If there's anyone causing trouble, get him! I support you."
It is not surprising that it has always been arrogant. It is worth mentioning that it also thinks this matter is not simple.
"Let's take a break," Qu Jianlei looked at the sky. Although it was only the middle of the night, it was not far from dawn.
"Xiong Shimao lives a secluded life, so his disappearance should not attract the attention of the Xiong family, but the reaction of the ancestral temple is worth observing."
But it turned out that he was overthinking it. There was no response from Xiongjia Village throughout the day.
That night, they entered the Xiong family's ancestral hall, which was very close to Xiongjia Village.
As soon as he entered the ancestral temple, Qu Jianlei felt an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere. "Why does this cold and gloomy atmosphere seem familiar?"
"The taste is wrong," Jiao Daoren said only this and said no more.
"A world of immortal cultivation with ice attributes?" Yi He was a little disappointed, "This is too... I'm not a Kun cultivator!"
"Hush, be careful with your words!" The weapon spirit issued a warning, "No one should speak!"
This was what everyone had agreed upon before. If it was the work of a powerful being, everyone's words and actions would be sensed in the dark.
Everyone easily passed through various warnings and blockades and came to Xiong Chumo's tablet.
As the ancestor of the Xiong family's new ancestral temple, Xiong Chumo occupies the top spot in the ranking, but at the same time, his tablet also has a single room.
And those prayers regarding foundation building were all completed in a single room.
The single room is not big, just... less than twenty square meters, with a lonely small statue and a tablet.
Apart from that, there is an incense table and a small incense burner. Even in this small world, it can be said to be extremely simple.
However, when everyone entered the small room, they were almost shocked.
"Oh my god," Taoist Jiao was the first to express his opinion, "Is this... a blocking formation?"
Sunset said faintly, "I smell a trap."
It's a small single room, very inconspicuous, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Only when one has reached the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation can one feel that the inside and outside of the house are completely different worlds.
In short, everyone who entered the house understood that they had been targeted by an unspeakable entity, and there was no need to pretend.
"So, the other side is the world of immortal cultivation?" The paranoid snorted disdainfully.
He was as straightforward as ever, "If being so secretive is the way of the immortal cultivation world, then I'd better not go to this immortal cultivation world!"
"I really admire your courage," Jing Yuexin smiled bitterly and gave a thumbs up.
"Lao Pian, if we were to choose the bravest one among us, you would definitely be the first... Even the boss is not qualified!"
The paranoid man scratched his head, "Are you calling me... reckless?"
Although everyone seems to be chatting, in fact, they are sensing each other's reactions.
We have been through so many life and death experiences, who would want to talk nonsense at this critical moment?
But they talked for a while and there was no response in the room.
However, the expressions of several people became more and more solemn, because there was a faint chill that everyone could feel.
But there are no more problems, and I really don’t know what’s going on.
After a while, the paranoid man muttered, "Does this mean... I still need to burn incense?"
In Xiong Shimao's memory, every time he came to worship his ancestors, the requirements for offerings were not high, but he had to burn good incense.
But can you afford it if a Nascent Soul offers incense to a Foundation Establishment cultivator?
With the level of arrogance of a paranoid person, he would look down upon people of the same level of cultivation, so how could he be so servile as to pray to others?
"Then I'll give it a try," Qu Jianlei didn't mind it very much, "The dead are the greatest."
He never cared about lowering himself. As a person who came from the Blue Star Shenzhou, the concept of equality had taken root in his heart.
No one is born noble, and being polite to others will not affect your strength.
If he didn't have this idea, he wouldn't always seek opinions from all team members.
"How can that be possible?" The paranoid man firmly objected, "You are the boss... I'd better do the incense."
Although he wanted to save face, he couldn't let his boss go and burn incense while he just stood by and watched.
Then he took out some dried fruits, which could barely be considered an offering, and then took three incense sticks from the incense table and lit them.
As for performing any rituals, there is absolutely no such thing. Just stick it directly into the incense burner.
From a mysterious perspective, if he really wanted to perform a salute, the other party would definitely not be able to bear it.
Green smoke rose slowly, and then he took out Xiong Shimao's fingertip blood and dripped it on the incense table.
The incense table was made of neither gold nor stone, and when blood dripped on it, it quickly spread out and gradually disappeared.
The coldness in the room gradually grew stronger, and in a trance, the paranoid man could vaguely hear the sound of stringed instruments.
"Hallucination?" He instinctively circulated his spiritual energy to keep his mind clear.
However, as his spiritual energy circulated, a little bit of the Nascent Soul energy that he had been holding back leaked out.
At the moment the breath leaked, the room became extremely cold. The temperature did not necessarily drop much, but it seemed to be able to freeze the mind.
"Strange!" The paranoid man subconsciously increased the circulation of his spiritual energy because he felt a little overwhelmed.
He could also confirm that the absolute temperature in the room was not low, but for some reason, he felt extremely cold.
The chill intensified again, and at the same time, a faint sense of oppression emanated from Xiong Chumo's statue.
"Oh my god..." The paranoid man activated a soul amulet without thinking.
It was dawn, the time to burn incense, but the Xiong family members who were guarding the ancestral temple were still asleep.
The paranoid man didn't want to make too much noise, but he also felt that this strange cold was affecting his soul.
No matter what the mystery is, this kind of pressure is simply not something that can be possessed by those who have established their foundation.
Not to mention that it is just a statue of a foundation-building cultivator.
Since something was fishy, he first used a talisman to protect his soul, which could protect himself while also making less noise.
However, his action made the pressure even stronger.
"Are you sure?" Qu Jianlei snorted, and without saying a word, he released an object and made a gesture at the same time.
It was the Dao stele in his storage ring, and he was making the gesture to lift the seal.
As soon as the seal was removed, the aura of the Taoist stele was instantly released. Its heavy and majestic awe-inspiring power made it difficult for people to breathe.
Especially this aura was so mighty and powerful that it could be felt from far and near. Once the aura came out, not only the ancestral temple, but even the entire Xiongjia Village could feel it.
Normally, this kind of noise would be enough to alarm everyone, but unfortunately, the cultivation of the people here is too low.
In the entire Xiongjia Village, apart from Xiong Shimao whose soul was searched, there is only one person who has established a foundation.
Even A-level cannot approach within 20 kilometers of the Dao Monument. This has been verified by Qu Jianlei and his team.
The other Qi Refining level cultivators in Xiongjia Village are roughly equivalent to B-level and simply cannot hold on.
Many people fainted in their sleep, and some even bled from all their orifices.
Fortunately, the ancestral temple is located far away from the residential area, and the one who was most seriously injured was the Qi-refining cultivator who was guarding the ancestral temple.
"Boss, you..." The paranoid man looked at Qu Jianlei in astonishment. He really couldn't understand why he suddenly took out this thing?
"Devil energy from outside the domain," Yi He released his consciousness, "I'm afraid you'll be possessed!"
He was too sensitive to the breath of the Heavenly Demon. After all, the reason he stayed in this world was to guard against the Heavenly Demon.
Qu Jianlei showed the cave without saying anything and said, "Go in quickly!"
"What about you?" The paranoid man's face turned a little red - he couldn't withstand the aura of the Dao Monument.
"With the Dao tablet here, they can't get close to me," Qu Jianlei said quickly, "Hurry up, don't waste time!"
The paranoid could feel that the cold and gloomy aura was getting heavier, but he could not get close to the monument.
At this moment, he didn't care about anything else and just slipped into the cave.
The others followed in, leaving only Qu Jianlei and Xizhao outside.
The former can get in close contact with the Dao Monument, while the latter, as a spirit of heaven and earth, is naturally capable of resisting the devil.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind was blowing in the house, and even the incense burner was blown to the ground.
But unfortunately, it couldn't get close to the monument and could only circle around it.
Qu Jianlei didn't even need to release his spiritual sense to know that the cold and damp air had seeped out of the ancestral temple and invaded the surrounding area.
Fortunately, the aura of the Dao monument was also released, entangled with the cold and gloomy air, and gained the upper hand.
The cyclone in the room is the manifestation of the fight, and it has also spread to the outside, causing a fierce energy conflict.
The noise was so loud that the villagers in Xiongjia Village far away had already been alarmed.
They all knew that something had happened in the ancestral temple, but the astonishing pressure and aura made it impossible for them to get close.
While everyone was speculating what had happened, some thatched sheds had been blown away.
Then someone shouted, "Help, my child is unconscious!"
