Chapter 1829: The Strange Ancestral Temple
It can be said that he is paranoid and arrogant, but at critical moments, he is really willing to spare himself.
Many people become less courageous as they get older, but there are also people who are stubborn in nature. This is probably because their character determines their destiny.
Qing Hu curled his lips and said, "You have finished speaking, then I will be responsible for taking care of it."
She has always had this kind of character that does not compete or grab. She will only take the initiative when there are opportunities that others are not aware of.
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, everyone's reaction... He was actually quite happy.
The team should be like this, everyone suffers when one loses and everyone prospers, instead of him, the boss, shouldering everything.
Otherwise, even if he thinks it is natural, he will inevitably feel a little regretful.
Jia Shuiqing and Duo Gan both stayed at Shuguang Base, helping Youyou protect the law and at the same time complete a large contract for the sale of talisman technology.
If they were here at this moment, Qu Jianlei felt that they wouldn't let him down, right?
The entire decision-making process was very short. The four great Nascent Souls and two immortal cultivators made the decision.
That was the final decision—Xizhao and Qi Ling had no right to object.
But in fact, Qi Ling also said, "The small world as big as a fart is not as big as my cave."
"If anyone is causing trouble, get rid of him! I support you."
It is not surprising that it has always been arrogant. What is worth mentioning is that it also believes that this matter is not simple.
"Let's take a rest," Qu Jianlei looked at the sky. Although it was only the middle of the night, it was not very far from dawn.
"Xiong Shimao lives in seclusion. His disappearance should not attract the attention of Xiong's family, but the reaction of the ancestral temple is worth observing."
But it turned out that he was overthinking it. During the whole day, Xiongjiacun didn't respond at all.
That night, they entered the Xiong family's ancestral temple, which was very close to the Xiong family village.
As soon as he entered the ancestral temple, Qu Jianlei felt an extremely uncomfortable aura, "Why does this cold aura seem so familiar?"
"It doesn't taste right," Taoist Jiao only said this and stopped talking.
"Is it a world of ice attribute cultivators?" Yi He felt a little disappointed, "This is too... I am not a Kun cultivator!"
"Hush, be careful!" The weapon spirit warned, "No one speaks!"
This is what everyone agreed before. If it is the work of a powerful person, everyone's words and deeds will be sensed in some way.
Everyone easily passed through various warnings and blockades and came to Xiong Chumo's memorial tablet.
As the founder of the Xiong Family's New Ancestral Temple, Xiong Chumo occupies the top spot, but at the same time, his memorial tablet still has a single room.
And those prayers about foundation building were all done in a single room.
The single room is not big, just... less than twenty square meters, with a solitary small statue and a tablet.
Other than that, there is just 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 single room, they were almost all shocked.
"I'm stupid," Taoist Master Jiao was the first to express his stance, "What the hell... blocking array?"
Xizhao said faintly, "I smell the smell of a trap."
It's a small single room, very inconspicuous, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Only when you reach Nascent Soul can you feel that the inside and outside of the house are completely different worlds.
In short, everyone who enters the room understands that they have been targeted by an indescribable existence, and there is no need to pretend.
"So, is the world of immortality across the street?" The paranoid snorted disdainfully.
He was as upright as ever, "If hiding one's head and brains like this is the way of the world of immortality, then this world of immortality...it's okay not to go there!"
"I really admire your courage," Jing Yuexin smiled bitterly and extended a thumbs up.
"Lao Pian, if we choose the most courageous among us, you will definitely be the first... even the boss is not qualified!"
The paranoid scratched his head, "Are you scolding me for being... reckless?"
Although everyone seemed to be chatting, in fact, they were sensing each other's reactions.
We have been through life and death so many times, who would talk about it at this juncture?
But they chatted for a while, and there was no reaction in the room.
However, the faces of several people became more and more solemn, because there was a faint cold breath that everyone could feel.
But there is nothing more wrong. I really don’t know what happened.
After a while, the paranoid murmured, "Doesn't this...have to be incense?"
In Xiong Shimao's memory, every time he came to worship his ancestors, the tribute requirements were not high, but he had to burn good incense.
But can you afford it when a Nascent Soul offers incense to a Foundation Builder?
With the level of paranoid publicity, even those with the same level of cultivation would look down upon him, so how could he be so humble as to offer incense to others?
"Then let me give it a try," Qu Jianlei didn't mind this very much, "The one who dies is the most important."
He never cares about putting down his status. As a person who came from Blue Star China, the concept of equality has taken root in his heart.
No one is born noble, and being polite to others will not affect your own strength.
Without this concept, he would not constantly seek the opinions of all team members.
"How can that be done?" Upon hearing this, the paranoid objected firmly, "You are the boss...it's better for me to offer incense."
Although he wanted to save face, he couldn't let his boss go burn incense and watch on his own.
Then he took out a few dried fruits, which could barely be considered tribute, and then took out three incense sticks from the incense table and lit them.
As for the salute, there was absolutely no such thing, just put them directly into the incense burner.
From the perspective of the mysterious side, if he really wanted to 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 neither gold nor stone, and the blood dripped on it and soon spread and gradually disappeared.
The coldness in the room gradually began to increase, and in a trance, the paranoid man vaguely felt the sound of stringed instruments.
"Hallucination?" He instinctively circulated his spiritual energy to keep his mind clear.
However, when he circulated his spiritual energy, the breath of the Nascent Soul that he had been holding back leaked out a little bit.
At the moment when the breath leaked, the coldness in the room became very strong, and the temperature might not drop much, but it seemed to be able to freeze the consciousness.
"Strange!" The paranoid man subconsciously increased the circulation of spiritual energy because he felt a little overwhelmed.
He could also be sure that the absolute temperature in the room was not low. For some reason, he felt extremely cold and unbearable.
The chill increased again, and at the same time, a faint pressure came from the statue of Xiong Chumo.
"Oh my..." Without thinking, the paranoid man directly activated a soul talisman.
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 acting on the soul.
No matter what was strange, just say that this kind of pressure was not something that a foundation-building cultivator could have.
Not to mention that it was just a statue of a foundation-building cultivator.
Since there was something strange, he first used a talisman to protect the soul, which could protect himself and make 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 pinched a spell at the same time.
It was the Dao stele in his storage ring, and the finger gesture was to remove the seal.
Once the seal was removed, the breath of the Dao stele was instantly released, and the heavy majesty was awe-inspiring, forcing people to breathe hard.
Especially this breath was mighty and powerful, and it was felt by the whole Xiongjia Village, not to mention the ancestral temple.
Ordinarily, this kind of movement would be enough to alarm everyone, but unfortunately, the people here were too low in cultivation.
In the whole Xiongjia Village, apart from Xiong Shimao whose soul was searched, there was only one foundation-building cultivator.
A-level cultivators could not approach the Dao stele for more than 20 kilometers, which was verified by Qu Jianlei and others.
And the other Qi-refining cultivators in Xiongjia Village were roughly equivalent to B-level cultivators, and they could not bear it at all.
Many people fainted directly in their sleep, and some even bled from all seven orifices.
Fortunately, the location of the ancestral temple was far away from the settlement area, and the 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, and couldn't understand why he suddenly took this thing out?
"Extraterritorial demonic energy," Yi He released his consciousness, "I'm afraid you will be possessed!"
He was too sensitive to the breath of the demon. After all, he stayed in this world to guard the demon.
Qu Jianlei showed the cave without saying a word, "Go in quickly!"
"What about you?" The paranoid man's face turned a little red - he couldn't stand the breath of the Dao Monument.
"With the Dao Monument here, they can't get close to me," Qu Jianlei said quickly, "Hurry up, don't waste time!"
The paranoid man could feel that the cold breath was getting heavier, but he couldn't get close to the Dao Monument.
At this moment, he didn't care much and flashed into the cave.
Others followed in, leaving only Qu Jianlei and Xizhao outside.
The former could get close to the Dao Monument, and the latter, as a spirit of heaven and earth, was born with the ability to resist the demon.
At this moment, the house was already filled with gusts of cold wind, and even the incense burner was blown to the ground.
But it couldn't get close to the Dao Monument, and could only swirl around it.
Qu Jianlei didn't even need to release his spiritual sense to know that the cold and cold air had seeped out of the ancestral temple and invaded the surrounding area.
Fortunately, the breath of the Dao Monument was also released, entangled with the cold and cold air, and occupied the upper hand.
The cyclone in the room was the embodiment of the struggle, and it also spread to the outside world, with a fierce sense of air.
The momentum was so great that the villagers in Xiongjia Village, who were far away, had already been alarmed.
They all knew that something had happened in the ancestral temple, but the amazing pressure and aura made it impossible for them to get close.
While everyone was guessing what had happened, some thatched sheds had been blown away.
Then, someone shouted loudly, "Help, my child is unconscious!"
