C2639 Half Human and Half Ghost
Guu Feng thought so, but he couldn't ignore the rules left behind by the old ancestor.
The steps of bathing, changing clothes, and burning incense to prevent meat from falling were all done.
Finally, Guu Feng, along with the other two candidates, Gu Aotian and Gu Jue, followed Gu Chaoran to the ancestral hall at the back of the mountain.
This Ancestral Shrine looked no different from a small temple. The memorial tablets of the ancestors of Guu family were worshipped inside.
There were a few hundred memorial tablets densely packed together. In front of each memorial tablet, there were white candles.
Each candle was as thick as a fist and was half the size of a memorial tablet. It took a day to burn from head to tail.
Every afternoon, there would be someone specially sent over to change the candles for the various seniors. According to seniority, they couldn't be careless at all.
One must use the ancestral tablets to seek the wisdom of the ancestors and to bless the safety of the entire Guu family.
Gu Chaoran and the other two entered the door. He bowed his head and said, "The sixteenth descendant of the Guu family, Gu Chaoran.
As well as the fifteenth generation disciple, Gu Aotian, Gu Jue, and the seventeenth generation disciple, Guu Feng, kowtow before our ancestors. "
After the respectful three kowtows and nine kowtows, Gu Chaoran stood up and said, "The ceremony is over. Everyone, please rise!"
Guu Feng and the other two stood up.
"Everyone, tomorrow, all of you will represent the Guu family and head to the Rapid Wind Canyon to pay your respects. The responsibility is great, I hope you three will be careful."
Gu Chaoran said with a solemn expression.
Gu Aotian said proudly, "Don't worry. This Hurricane Valley is nothing much. We're not kids, and this isn't our first time going there. What's there to be careful about?"
These words were clearly meant for Guu Feng to hear.
"Hehe, Elder, you're being too serious. The patriarch is afraid that you will be seeing things due to your age. You will get lost if you walk in the wrong direction."
Guu Feng frowned and said, "But I also think that the patriarch is worrying too much. After all, old horses know the way! "
Gu Ao Tian snorted, "Cut the crap! When the time comes, we'll meet at the Gale Canyon! "
Gu Aotian and Gu Jue left the place one after the other.
Only then did Guu Feng turn his head and ask Gu Chao, "Grandfather, isn't this the Ancestral Temple? Then what is inside the Rapid Wind Canyon?"
"This isn't the Ancestral Temple, but the Ancestral Temple. It's just that in order to entrust our grief, we built an imitation ancestral temple here. "
Gu Chaoran thought for a moment, then reminded, "Guu Feng, I need to remind you of something.
Both of them had entered the ancestral temple before, so they were much more familiar with it than you! If you can't win against them, don't force yourself. Just give up. "
Guu Feng asked curiously, "Is this Rapid Wind Canyon really that dangerous? Why have I never heard of it before? "
"The truly dangerous places are usually kept a secret. Who would talk about it for no reason?" Gu Chaoran took advantage of the situation and said:
"In this Rapid Wind Canyon, ever since our ancestors left, there has been a mysterious force that has been shrouding us all year round, preventing us from detecting anything.
Therefore, every year, we can only send our elder candidates back home to worship our ancestors and hand their lives over to the heavens!
Only those who succeed will have the qualifications to become an Elder. Therefore, every two to three years, one or two Elder Candidates mysteriously disappear."
" So strange? " When Guu Feng heard this, he became excited instead.
"Yes. So in all these years, only the previous elders have arrived at the Ancestral Temple. Even I have never seen what the real Ancestral Temple looks like. "
Gu Chaoran sighed regretfully, then pointed at the small temple and said:
"This ancestral temple was built according to the blueprint of the ancestral temple."
So that's how it is. Guu Feng thought to himself, Something must be wrong!
It seemed like there were some things hidden in this Rapid Wind Canyon that were not known by outsiders.
"So you have never seen the ancestral temple before? But you can rest assured. This time, I will definitely take your place and see the real Ancestral Temple of the Guu family. "
Guu Feng said.
Gu Chaoran asked, "By the way, do you have any clues regarding how to find the ancestral temple?"
"This is the reason why I stayed behind and didn't leave. Grandpa, what information do you have to reveal?" Guu Feng said with a smile.
The seniors in the family were all interested in Guu Feng competing for the position of elder. As for those young men, they definitely wouldn't know about the matter of the ancestral temple.
Therefore, the only person who could help him in this matter was Gu Chaoran.
"You sly little fox! So you're waiting for me to say something!" Gu Chaoran lovingly patted Guu Feng's head and said:
"Speaking of which, I do know some things."
"Apart from the annual elders' meeting to offer sacrifices to the ancestors, there is another person who can enter and exit the Rapid Wind Canyon freely, and he should be very familiar with the ancestral temple."
Guu Feng asked curiously, "Who is so capable? Even you can't, but he can enter and exit freely? "
"Say that he is a human, or maybe not... Everyone says that he is a 'half human and half ghost', but no one has seen his true face."
"Grandpa, don't keep us guessing. Hurry up and say it!" Guu Feng was very curious. When he heard this, his interest was immediately piqued.
"That person, we all call him 'carrying zombies'..."
Gu Chaoran's words made Guu Feng even more interested. He could not help but lean over and wait for him to shrink back.
"You know, once important figures like us, the Guu family, die, we will bury them in the ancestral grave of the Guu family."
Gu Chaoran continued, "But have you ever thought that since the Rapid Wind Canyon is so dangerous, who was the one who buried them?"
Guu Feng snapped his fingers. “ Oh, I see. It's that corpse carrying man?"
"That's right. The man who carried the corpse had been serving the Guu family for generations since the ancestors of the Guu family.
Because of him, the Guu family has never forgotten its roots. " Gu Chaoran paused for a moment, then patted Guu Feng's shoulder and said.
"Guu Feng, I have told you so much. Do you understand now? As long as we can find the corpse carrier, we will be able to find the way to the Guu family's ancestral temple!"
"Alright, I will definitely grasp this clue. Thank you for your advice. " Guu Feng said respectfully to Gu Chao.
"Ok, go. Be careful along the way." Gu Chaoran reminded.
Guu Feng nodded in agreement, but in his heart, he thought, A corpse carrier? The ancestral temple of Guu family? The matter of worshipping the ancestors had become more and more interesting!
Let me see what kind of terrifying thing is hidden in this Rapid Wind Canyon!
The Rapid Wind Canyon is very far from Tianjing City.
Therefore, Guu Feng was not in a hurry to compete with Gu Aotian and Gu Jiao in speed. He cultivated until early in the morning before getting up and washing up.2
"Feng, why haven't you left yet?"
Gudu was watering the flowers in the courtyard. He was shocked when he saw Guu Feng.
"Gu Aotian and the others left before dawn! You're not in a hurry. When will you catch up to them?"
