Chapter 443: Chapter 307: The Ingenious Method of Driving Away Snakes_1

The master couldn’t directly share his thoughts with the Feng Family members. He had heard that Old Man Feng disliked snakes and anything related to them; otherwise, he wouldn’t have moved the ancestral hall from snake-infested Xiao Feng Mountain to here.

Well, everything has its own destiny.

After coming out of the Buddha hall, the master looked up at the sky.

The obscuring clouds had dissipated, the fierce sun was high in the sky, and everything seemed quite ordinary.

But they knew it was not so.

Although they were not members of the Feng Clan, they still felt the unusual sensation during the chanting of scriptures.

Just as he was about to step out of the ancestral hall, the master paused, turned towards the hall, pressed his palms together, bowed, and then left.

After the monks had left, the clan relatives started talking again.

"Who was that big monk bowing to just now?"

"Can’t you tell? It was obviously to our ancestors!"

"So, did the ancestors really show their presence?!"

"Judging by the master’s reaction, it surely wasn’t an evil spirit, so it must have been our ancestor! Should we go and kowtow again? I wasn’t sincere enough when offering incense earlier, but this time I will be truly heartfelt! I’ll kowtow louder than before!"

"Even if you’re more sincere and your kowtows louder, the ancestors here still bless the Feng Family of Yang City, not those of your lineage. Besides... It seems the ancestors here are not in a good mood, don’t mess things up!"

"That’s true. How on earth did the Feng Family of Yang City manage to mess this up?!"

Scoffing, questioning, dodging, taking pleasure in others’ misfortune...

The looks from the clan relatives made Old Man Feng’s heart choke, and he stumbled in his step.

Feng Yi’s uncle watched on in alarm, "Quick, quick, quick! Help Old Man Feng inside to rest!"

He signaled his family members to quickly assist Old Man Feng to take some medicine and calm his emotions—it wouldn’t be good if something happened right there.

Regarding the ancestral worship ceremony, the Feng Family of Yang City’s feelings were even more complicated and anxious than those Feng Yi had while offering incense!

The ancestral hall, from its selection to its design, including details like the placement of the Buddha statues, had all been overseen by Old Man Feng himself.

Had something offended the ancestors’ taboo?

Did the ancestors really show their presence?

Was there indeed a problem with the Feng Shui here?

And so on...

We dare not ask, nor do we dare to advise.

While everyone around discussed fervently, Feng Yi did not join in.

He guessed that the master’s behavior just now was probably only a vague perception of some extraordinary factors, with much still unknown.

What the master really thought was of no interest to Feng Yi; right now, he was just wondering:

For a clan that had existed for so long, could it be that our ancestors knew people from all walks of life among the Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist circles?

The ancestors were awesome!

When will the DNA take action to unlock more memories? Feng Yi wanted to see the past tales of his ancestors with their old acquaintances!

Maybe he should visit a Taoist temple next time?

There was a feast after the Dharma assembly.

Originally, the Feng Family of Yang City had also arranged vegetarian meals for the masters, but whether the master and his disciples had other plans, or for some other reason, they refused the meal arrangement and left as soon as the Dharma assembly concluded.

And Old Man Feng didn’t even attend the feast due to discomfort.

The distinguished clan members that Old Man Feng had taken so much trouble to invite were now completely off the plan he had envisioned.

A feast?

They had no mood for feasting!

They were confronting Old Man Feng.

Although it was said that Old Man Feng was indisposed and had to rest, the clan members thought the old man was hiding because the situation had turned sour!

Hiding?

How dare you hide?

After the mess of an ancestral worship ceremony, what good is hiding?!

Shouldn’t you be discussing how to appease the ancestors immediately?!

Those with these beliefs took ancestor’s grave and the ancestral hall very seriously.

Forget business cooperations and strategic plans, forget clan members managing affairs—all of that must be set aside!

You must first explain clearly why such things happened in the ancestral hall?!

What caused such a disturbance from the ancestors?!!

Was it an improper reburial of the tombs?

Was there something wrong with the Feng Shui of the ancestral hall?

A few older members with high seniority specifically instructed Old Man Feng, "You must appease the ancestors! I know a reliable master who can come and assess whether the Feng Shui here is really not good. If it’s not, perhaps we should consider moving back to the original location?"

"No matter how grand the ancestral hall, if the ancestors don’t like it, it’s useless!"

"Was it the places that the deceased elders had chosen near Xiao Feng Mountain? Maybe the Feng Shui really is better there!"

These clan members went on and on, as if stabbing Old Man Feng in the heart with their words.

He had endured for so many years, put in so much effort, and finally moved the ancestral hall here, as well as the ancestor’s graves from the mountain...

And now you damn well tell me to move back?

Where would I put my face?!

After doing all this, will it all just end up being a joke?

The clan members were busy convincing Old Man Feng on one side, while the feast on the other side was also quite lively.

Those who had stealthily taken videos with their phones now reviewed their footage, growing increasingly unsatisfied with what they saw.

They captured nothing at all!

The mere visual couldn’t convey the horror, the hair-raising sensation that had been felt!

Anyone watching these videos would see nothing but—shadows blocking out the sun, monks reciting prayers upfront, onlookers around, and a light breeze blowing here...

Beyond that, the most critical aspect was completely missed!

All for loneliness!

There were also people who had different views on the anomalies that occurred during the ancestral worship ceremony:
