The Ancestral Hall of Chen Village was a large ancestral hall that was a combination of Chinese and Western elements. It was definitely a large building in Dragon Mountain. As a village, it was already quite eye-catching to have such a building.
The location was still behind the big camphor tree and the big pond, but it had been changed from a large auditorium to a square frame with three sections. The first section was a large winding corridor with four sides in the style of a wind and rain bridge. The front and back of the corridor were three hundred meters long, and the side corridor was two hundred meters long. The middle corridor was four meters wide with opposite cool seats. The aluminum alloy windows were opened for ventilation in summer and closed for warmth in winter, forming the inner corridor. Lord Eighteen said that the four corridors alone could hold 150 tables of wine.
In the middle of the four corridors was the first door of the ancestral hall. It was divided into east, west, north, and south doors. This door was very fashionable, and all four doors were made of steel. Walking into the corridor, there was a high bridge-shaped passage with guardrails in the middle. Below the passage was a wind pond. Some people said that it was the moat of the Chen Clan's ancestral hall. The 20-meter-wide and 900-meter-long pond had many koi fish. Chen Weilai also put many turtles and tortoises in it. Some strange stones were placed in the center of the pond. They were scattered and messy, a bit like the legendary Abbot Yingzhou.
At the end of the bridge-shaped passage was the second door. The second entrance was a traditional three-story door with dragon pillars. The top was equipped with ten dragon glazed tiles. The side of the four doors facing the pond was a wall. Every twenty meters or so, there was a large flowery window with many treasures. Inside the wall was a corridor. The ceiling was more than three meters wide. Along the wall, people could walk freely and look at the reliefs that recorded the great achievements of the Chen family's ancestors.
Walking through the second door, there was a circle of trees and grass 30 meters deep. Four smooth cobblestone corridors led to the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall was raised by one meter, and there were three steps made of large bluestone blocks. On the steps, there were white marble railings and bluestone corridors. Standing in the center was the ancestral hall made of nine-meter-tall stone dragon pillars. Its appearance was like a miniature version of the Great Hall of the People in the capital. The north was the main door, the south was the back door, and the east and west side doors were the main door. Central Hall. The two sides retracted slightly, forming a secondary hall. The main hall had the position of the Divine Altar. They enshrined the ancestral tablets of their ancestors and gods.
In the main hall was a conference room with a fixed seat. There were three hundred fixed theater chairs, and the rostrum was equipped with advanced sound amplification equipment and an air conditioner. There were two groups of symmetrical rooms on both sides of the lobby, which could be used as a venue for banquets and group activities.
Close to the south of the ancestral hall was a three-story building. This was the office building of the families of Chen Village and the village office of Chen Village.
In less than ten minutes, Chen Weizheng had already arrived at the entrance of the Ancestral Hall.
Walking into the main hall, he was very satisfied. It was not the kind of tacky gold and jade splendor, but it was very solemn, very popular, and very serious. Seeing Chen Weizheng walk in, Chen Weizheng also walked down from the throne. This guy dressed himself like the Jade Emperor in the cartoon "Uproar in Heaven". He was wearing a long robe and a tasseled hat. Chen Weizheng laughed when he saw him. Chen Zhengquan knew what he was laughing at. Looking at himself, he also felt like laughing. He said to Chen Weizheng, "You have to tell the old people of Chen Village to keep up with the times. It's better to get some jackets or something." Chen Weizheng laughed and said that he would definitely pass on the request. Then, he introduced Wen Jie to Chen Zhengquan and asked Chen Zhengquan to take care of him. After he got used to it, he could go wherever he wanted.
Chen Zhengquan first gave Wen Jie a set of modern clothes. It seemed that it was not that he did not have such clothes, but that he was not willing to wear them because of his identity. He even pretended to ask for them to keep up with the times.
Chen Weizheng told Chen Weizheng that half a year ago, Juada came and gave him a book on spiritual cultivation. During this time, he had been practicing according to the book and had made great progress. Could he let Wen Jie practice with him? Chen Weizheng told him that Wen Jie had just met him, and it was best to get to know him better. Chen Weizheng asked him why he wanted Wen Jie to practice with him. Chen Zhengquan told him that there were too few spiritual bodies in the ancestral hall, and they were too weak. Without helpers, they would sometimes be invaded by external spiritual bodies. Originally, Juada wanted to ask Hua Ju and Hua Wei to help, but they were cultivating and did not dare to act rashly. Chen Weizheng told Chen Zhengquan that he would find two helpers for him later.
Wen Jie was very satisfied to be able to stay here. He did not lack merit, nor did he lack any offerings. What he lacked was contact with the world. He wore the clothes that Chen Zhengquan gave him and styled his hair into small pieces. He instantly looked much younger.
After bidding farewell to Chen Zhengquan and Wen Jie, Chen Weizheng went to the depths of Qingshan Town. He wanted to invite Golden Silk and Jade Thread back to stay for a while. Indeed, the ancestral hall was too big for Chen Zhengquan to take care of alone.
He came to the deepest part of Qingshan Town. It was still the deepest canyon, but this was the place that was truly isolated from the world. Through the screen, Chen Weizheng found Jiang Zijing. Golden Silk and Jade Thread were fighting. Golden Silk's Jiang Zijing's level was slightly higher, and he had the upper hand, but he was still beaten black and blue. It was obvious that Golden Silk was giving way to Jade Thread, while Jade Thread was fighting with all his might.
Chen Weizheng did not care about the consequences and took the two into his hands.
The two's environment suddenly changed, waking them up from their fierce battle. Jiang Zijing saw that this was Chen Weizheng's space at a glance, while Jade Thread looked around like a fool.
Chen Weizheng appeared and said to Jiang Zijing, "Old Jiang, have you been training your body or something? You're fighting with Mister Jade Thread."
Jiang Zijing saw that it was indeed Chen Weizheng and revealed a bitter smile, saying, "Jade Thread is done for. His soul can't control his body and is about to leave."
"Leave?" Chen Weizheng asked what this meant.
Jiang Zijing said that this pair of silkworm spirits had been around for ten thousand years. If they did not break through in ten thousand years, their spiritual power would naturally disappear, leaving behind a shell, which was a silkworm cocoon. Animals had limited intelligence, and it was very difficult for them to break through the mysteries of heaven. They also could not control their own intelligence, so they could only let themselves disappear. Unless they were like him, who was possessed by a human spirit, then their cultivation would be twice as fast.
Chen Weizheng told Jiang Zijing that if he wanted to go, then let him go. Leave Pi She to find someone else.
Jiang Zijing told Jade Thread, and Jade Thread showed a bit of nostalgia. He asked Chen Weizheng if he could refine himself into a spirit pill, then he could accompany Gold Thread forever.
Chen Weizheng said that he could refine it into a spirit pill, but he could not refine it back into Jade Thread. He had to think carefully. Jade Thread lowered his head and said that rather than turning into ashes, why not turn into a spirit pill?
Chen Weizheng brought Jade Thread to the centrifuge and opened it. Jade Thread jumped into the centrifuge by itself. After a while, a pure white spirit pearl with a diameter of more than two centimeters appeared below the centrifuge. Chen Weizheng picked up the Jade Thread Spirit Pearl and handed it to Gold Thread, saying, "He's also a person who values friendship."
Jiang Zijing nodded. Let's go! He had to find someone suitable for Jade Thread's body.
Chen Weizheng brought Jade Thread to the Chen Clan's ancestral hall. As soon as he saw Wen Jie, Jiang Zijing knew what Chen Weizheng was thinking. This was a thousand year old spirit. At the same time, it was also a spirit that had not made any progress. It should be sealed in some place. If he entered Jade Thread's body, then he would have at least a few thousand years to live. Perhaps he could even find a suitable cultivation path for himself and find his own progress.
Chen Weizheng told Wen Jie the path he had chosen. Wen Jie was very excited and moved. He kept bowing to Chen Weizheng. In the space, Jiang Zijing told Wen Jie the method to enter the body. Wen Jie quickly became one with the Jade Thread Spirit Body. Chen Weizheng placed Jiang Zijing in a 60V liquid. Jiang Zijing soaked for about half an hour. When he felt that it was enough, he let Wen Jie soak for an hour as well. After an hour of soaking, Wen Jie's spirit body had become extremely perfect.
Gold Thread and Jade Thread were a pair of Spirit Soul level spirits. They could walk freely in broad daylight and could even reveal their true forms. Chen Weizheng had the two of them stay in the Chen Clan's ancestral hall for a long time. They would help Chen Zhengquan manage the ancestral hall's affairs and accept the offerings of the Chen Clan's descendants. Without Jade Thread's unreasonable pestering, Gold Thread no longer had the urge to return to the mountains. He was more reluctant to leave the human world.
After leaving the Chen Clan's ancestral hall, Chen Weizheng immediately rushed to the Longshan Battery Plant. Chen Huaju and Chen Huawei did not come to help. Was there a big problem there?
When he entered the hall of offerings, he found that there was no problem. Chen Huaju and Chen Huawei were still in a meditative state. It seemed that this level was a bit difficult. Juada had already reached the True Spirit level. As long as he was willing to be seen, then the Juada you saw was no different from an ordinary person. Xiao Jiaozi was still as naive and romantic as before. Chen Weizheng suddenly thought of a word: transvestite.
Hu Yada told Chen Weizheng that Chen Huaju and Chen Huawei would enter the Soul Sprite stage once they succeed. In this world, as long as the Soul Sprite cultivators don't make too much noise and don't cause trouble, they can protect themselves. In front of a Spirit Sprite, a normal human would not be able to resist at all. When Chen Huaju and Chen Huawei finished their meditation, he planned to take Xiao Jiaozi out to experience the world. After traveling around the countries, the destination was Shin Myung Province. Chen Weizheng said that he could consider building a Buddhist temple for Juada in Shin Myung Province, but Juada refused. Juada told Chen Weizheng that the God Worshipping Society he believed in was a bit similar to Christianity. Chen Weizheng said that Hong Xiuquan's God Worshipping Society was not a finished product, and it was not even as good as the Five Bushels of Rice Taoism. If Juada was interested in starting another religion and spreading it in Shin Myung Province to compete with the Theravada Buddhism, Chen Weizheng would not object. With Juada's True Spirit level, he might be able to attract one or two powerful Buddhas. Then they could compete with each other and broaden their horizons.
Juada said that Chen Weizheng really wanted to see the world in chaos. Chen Weizheng told Juada that in Shin Myung Province, Buddhism was too powerful. The people only knew about Buddhism, but they did not know about the government. A lot of policies had to be passed down through Buddhism. Therefore, it was important to make religions abide by their duties. If they did not abide by their duties and did things that went beyond their duties, the government would intervene and even kill them. This was the case with the Huichang Dharma Disaster in the Tang Dynasty.
Juada nodded and said that the Five Bushels of Rice Taoism was a good choice. He considered going to the Zhengyi School to play and ask the experts of the Zhang family for advice. He wanted to create a popular version of the Zhengyi School, the kind that advocated the Oneness of Heaven and Man. Anyway, he had some Shentong, so it was not a problem to fool people.
Chen Weizheng laughed and said that being a swindler was a very promising job! In Shin Myung Province, as long as the doctrines were helpful to the government and attractive to the people, Juada's religion would be established as the national religion. As for the original Buddhism, the government would not support it and would let it fend for itself. Historically, Buddhism had to rely on the government to survive. Without the support of the government and the royal family, Buddhism was like a rootless duckweed that would soon disappear with the waves. Juada did not know much about Buddhism, so he asked Chen Weizheng why Buddhism had to rely on the government. Chen Weizheng told him that all religions believed that they were the creators of the world. Only Buddhism had always flaunted itself as a mortal, not a creator. Since they were not the creators, they had no ownership of the world. Therefore, they only had the right to consult and make suggestions. Buddhism was like this. It advised you to do something, unlike other religions, you had to do something. Juada said that it was no wonder that Buddhism lacked the attitude of a master and hid when it saw something.
