Chapter 182 Li Modie
Li Yuanzhong led Chu Ci to the tall building in the courtyard. Chu Ci's eyes followed his steps and finally fixed on the plaque on the tall building - Li's Ancestral Hall. The four big characters were vigorous and powerful, revealing a solemnity and majesty.
When the two walked into the ancestral hall, they saw that the door downstairs was already open. There were hundreds of tablets enshrined in the hall, with incense burning brightly and the air filled with fairy air.
On a large tablet in the middle, there are large characters inscribed with "Immortal Ancestor Taibai Gong" in a simple and ancient style. This tablet is several times larger than the other tablets and is very conspicuous when placed here.
The rest of the tablets are after the second row, arranged on the left and right, like stars surrounding the moon, highlighting the extremely lofty status of the Li family's ancestor.
Soon, more than ten people came into the courtyard. They were all men, and Chu Ci found that several old men he had seen before were also among them. They all looked solemn and serious.
After entering the ancestral hall, everyone knelt on the ground, chanting and praying for their ancestors to protect the Li family for generations to come. Then, they lit incense and worshiped, kneeling three times and knocking their heads nine times. The whole process was solemn and dignified.
This ceremony took half an hour. Chu Ci watched quietly from the side, and couldn't help but sigh: No wonder the Li family didn't have a Jindan cultivator, such red tape really wastes too much time. If they could use this energy to practice, perhaps they would have achieved something long ago.
Finally, after Li Yuanzhong stood up, the others dared to stand up as well. Li Yuanzhong looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"My fellow clansmen, I have already discussed the matter with Fellow Daoist Chu. He is willing to help our Li clan and jointly protect the family's glory. Now, please take out the family treasure!"
After finishing speaking, Li Yuanzhong walked to the front of the altar and waved his hands to send out several rays of light.
Then the altar made a creaking sound, and a large hole slowly appeared on the floor behind the table. A high black table emerged from the ground, on which were placed three dark green jade boxes, one large and two small.
Li Yuanzhong picked up one of the jade boxes and opened it carefully, revealing a piece of yellow animal skin.
Chu Ci stood quietly a dozen feet away, staring at the animal skin talisman in front of him with a sharp gaze. In order to allow Chu Ci to observe more clearly, Li Yuanzhong carefully lifted the ancient animal skin and slowly stood it up, and the full picture of the talisman appeared in front of Chu Ci.
Li Yuanzhong stood aside. Although his face remained calm, Chu Ci could sense the tension hidden in his eyes.
The other members of the Li family were also standing around Chu Ci vigilantly. If Chu Ci really tried to snatch the talisman, these people would definitely kill him immediately.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chu Ci used the Golden Eye Technique to its fullest extent. Two rays of light shot out from the depths of his eyes, and he looked intently at the animal skin talisman.
This talisman is made of leopard skin, and its size is slightly shorter than the common talisman paper. However, due to the long time, the texture of the skin has become blurred and the color has faded a lot. It is not possible to see which part of the leopard it is.
The runes on the animal skin were not painted with the common cinnabar, but a kind of golden pigment. The whole talisman exuded a faint golden light, and as the spiritual light flowed, a powerful force was surging in it.
"Please turn the talisman over for me, I want to see the back." After Chu Ci was sure that he had seen the shape and texture of the front side clearly, he said to Li Yuanzhong.
Li Yuanzhong nodded slightly when he heard this, and slowly turned the entire talisman over.
Different from the talismans I had come across before, this Zhu Xian talisman also had runes painted on the back, and they were exactly the same as the runes on the front, except that the left and right positions were completely opposite, like a reflection in a mirror.
After a whole incense stick of time, Chu Ci had already deeply engraved every detail of the animal skin talisman in his mind. He raised his head and said to Li Yuanzhong: "Fellow Daoist Yuanzhong, I need to copy the rune for further research."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanzhong shouted towards the door: "Mo Die, bring the things up."
As he finished speaking, a figure slowly walked in from the doorway. It was a woman with waist-length black hair and a white dress as white as snow, like a fairy in a painting.
She was holding a tray with a thick stack of white paper and three books neatly placed on it. But her face was expressionless, as if all worldly affairs had nothing to do with her, giving people the impression of being just plain.
Walking up to Chu Ci, the woman gently handed the tray to him with both hands without saying a word.
"Mo Die, you haven't met Senior Chu yet?" Li Yuanzhong reminded him when he saw this.
After hearing what Li Yuanzhong said, the woman named Mo Die spoke expressionlessly, her voice as cold as ice: "Greetings, senior."
Li Yuanzhong smiled awkwardly, turned to Chu Ci and explained: "Fellow Daoist Chu, this is my daughter Li Modie. Over the years, she has been responsible for replicating the Zhuxian Talisman, so all the things left by the ancestors are kept in her hands. She has done a very deep study of this talisman, and perhaps you can communicate more in the future."
Chu Ci heard this and looked up at Li Modie again. He found that she had a good figure and good looks, but her expression was very cold. He didn't take it seriously, but reached out to take the tray and began to look through it carefully.
On the tray was a thick stack of white paper, nearly a hundred sheets in total. Li Yuanzhong introduced: "These white papers are the most clear and accurate rubbings left by our ancestors from past generations."
Chu Ci casually flipped through a few pieces of white paper and found that these rubbings were indeed very well-made. He compared them with the Zhu Xian Talisman and selected the three most similar rubbings.
In addition, there were three books on the tray. Li Yuanzhong pointed at the books and said, "These books contain some insights and experiences on the Zhuxian Talisman. Our ancestors recorded their research results in these books, which may be of some help to you, Taoist friends."
Chu Ci accepted all three books, and then returned the tray to Li Modie: "The rest of these rubbings are not needed for the time being, please keep them for me, young lady."
Li Modie's mouth curled slightly, then she quickly put the items on the tray into her storage ring, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Mo Die. You have done the most in-depth research on the Zhu Xian Talisman. Fellow Daoist Chu will temporarily live in the villa next to you. You should communicate and learn more with your seniors when you have time." Li Yuanzhong's voice sounded behind him.
Li Modie paused slightly, but did not turn back. She just nodded gently and continued to walk out of the ancestral hall.
After Li Modie left, Li Yuanzhong turned to Chu Ci and added, "If Fellow Daoist Chu has nothing else to do, I will put this talisman away."
Chu Ci retracted his gaze and looked at the other two tightly closed jade boxes on the table, and nodded: "Fellow Daoist, please put them away. I have finished reading them."
