Chapter 766 The Secret of the Ancestral Hall
The village chief felt annoyed as he spoke.
He slapped his head hard, forcing himself to think of what was special about the village.
But the more he did this, the blanker his mind became and he couldn't think of anything.
Seeing the village chief's self-abusing behavior, Sun Wukong sighed.
He used magic to reduce the village chief's discomfort, and then gently soothed him, "Don't worry, village chief, I'm just asking casually."
"But..." The village chief opened his mouth and wanted to say something else.
But before he could finish his words, Sun Wukong distracted him with other topics.
Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, then spoke, pretending to ask the village chief casually, "By the way, Village Chief, your ancestral hall is quite large. I wonder if I can go and take a look?"
When the village chief heard what Sun Wukong said, his eyes widened immediately.
The village chief felt he had completely lost track of Sun Wukong's thoughts. He asked with some embarrassment, "Sir... aren't we discussing breaking the influence of the Eternal Night? Why did you mention the ancestral hall?"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he smiled in a rather strange way.
He stared at the village chief and said slowly, "I see that the village chief has accepted the existence of another of you very well."
"So, I'm guessing this ancestral hall of yours is just like it is during the day, filled only with your tablets."
As soon as these words were spoken, the village chief's face showed some embarrassment and guilt.
He fell silent.
Although he didn't say anything, his attitude showed that he did know the secret of the ancestral hall.
Sun Wukong also knew that the village chief must be struggling in his heart, but when he thought of his own purpose, he hardened his heart.
He said, "Please ask the village chief to take me to the ancestral hall to see what is going on."
The village chief was still struggling, "But... Sir, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, but the ancestral hall is of great importance. Besides, the ancestral hall has been like this for so many years, so it shouldn't be that special, right?"
On the one hand, he saw the suffering of the villagers in the eternal night and felt anxious.
On the other hand, the importance of the ancestral hall was deeply engraved in his mind, making it difficult for him to agree with Sun Wukong's words.
He could not compromise, and naturally could not propose to take Sun Wukong to the ancestral hall.
Sun Wukong did not force the village chief to agree to his request.
He appealed to their emotions and reasoned with them, explaining from the perspective of the village chief how important his actions were.
He said, "Village Chief, I understand the struggle in your heart, but if there were any other way, I wouldn't want to go to the ancestral hall to find out."
"Right now, the entire village is shrouded in eternal night. As time goes by, we don't know what will happen next."
“What if other villagers encounter various hardships because of this?”
Sun Wukong said a lot of things before.
The village chief remained unmoved.
Until the back.
When Sun Wukong said, "What if other villagers suffer because of this?", the village chief was deeply shaken.
"This... is indeed a problem..." the village chief murmured.
Sun Wukong gave another shot of encouragement: "And if anything really goes wrong, I will handle it all by myself."
"Whatever the villagers' reaction will be after they find out about this, you can blame it on me."
Therefore, all the problems that the village chief is worried about will not be problems.
The village chief quickly waved his hands to explain, fearing that Sun Wukong would misunderstand him: "Sir, that's not what I meant. I'm not afraid of death...it's just that this ancestral hall is of great importance!"
"And... and there's not necessarily anything wrong with the ancestral hall... at most there are just some tablets with the same name inside..."
The more the village chief spoke, the more nervous he became.
"It's not just a coincidence that we have the same name," Sun Wukong mercilessly punctured the village chief's fantasy. "That's your own tablet! It's the past and future that you don't remember."
The village chief was shocked, but he still didn't dare to look up at Sun Wukong.
He was afraid that after seeing Sun Wukong's determined gaze, the excuses he had used to deceive himself would no longer be able to deceive him.
If the only people enshrined in the ancestral hall are themselves, then...what does all this mean?
Just when the village chief was still struggling, the door that was originally closed was suddenly opened.
It turned out that the village chief's youngest son, who was hiding and eavesdropping with others, could no longer stand his father's procrastination.
He was so excited that he pushed the door open and walked in, breaking the slightly stiff atmosphere in the room.
The village chief's youngest son looked at his father anxiously: "Dad! Don't hesitate. Regardless of whether the ancestral hall is the key to solving this dark night, we have to give it a try! If we continue like this, we will really have nothing to eat!"
He didn't care whether such behavior was disrespectful or not.
He just knows.
If this night does not end, even if they do not starve to death, they will eventually die of depression due to the long night.
Because of the endless nights these days, the village chief's youngest son, whose mood was obviously a little off, refused to let himself end up like that.
"What do you know?" The village chief was furious when he saw his youngest son rushing in.
The eldest son of the village chief, who came in right after his youngest son, also spoke silently: "I don't understand. I only know that without the sun, our crops won't grow, our chickens won't have anything to eat, and we'll all die!"
Seeing this, the other family members of the village chief also quickly agreed.
The village chief, who was already wavering, looked at the pleading eyes of the others and finally chose to compromise: "Forget it, forget it, it's better to go and take a look..."
Maybe there is nothing abnormal inside, so you can give up.
The village chief comforted me in this way.
After receiving the correct answer, the village chief's youngest son immediately volunteered to take Sun Wukong to the ancestral hall.
Sun Wukong did not refuse.
Not to mention, in this dark night, walking forward with a big lantern in hand is a bit scary.
In other words, there are quite a lot of people in this group, and Sun Wukong is also present.
Otherwise, the village chief’s youngest son would not dare to walk to the ancestral hall alone with a lantern.
Sun Wukong, who was following behind the village chief's youngest son, looked at the dark sky without even the moon and sighed.
But come to think of it, since the daytime is gone, it doesn’t seem surprising that there is no moon at night.
However, such visibility is still too low.
When Sun Wukong thought of this, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, cut it at random, and threw it into the sky, and it became a bright moon.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the ground, illuminating the surrounding environment and attracting the villagers who had experienced several days of darkness.
"It's been a long time since we last saw such a bright moon." A villager was surprised.
