After walking for an hour, Jiang Chen finally saw the big tree at the door. It grew very tall and was more than ten meters wide. It was so wide that several people could hug it. There were many copper bells tied with red cloth on it. When the mountain wind blows, the copper bell will make a crisp sound.

"Little Master, what is this?" Jiang Chen pointed to the tree in front of him and asked curiously.

"Spiritual Tree." Zhou Yi'an said.

"That's right, it's the Calling Soul Tree. It seems that this little brother knows our Northeast customs very well." Zhang Sanshan said with a smile.

"The Calling Soul Tree, also known as the Calling Yin Tree, shouldn't stand at the entrance of the village. It seems that the old man's house is not simple." Fatty Gao leaned over and showed off his knowledge.

"That's right, this yin tree shouldn't have stood at the entrance of the village. One of my ancestors was going to eradicate it back then. Later, after being enlightened by an expert, this yin tree turned into a lucky tree. It has always existed, and the above The bells are hung by the old people in the village for the young children. If any child is contaminated with unclean things, they will hang a bell on it, praying for the blessing of this tree. I also hung it when I was a child. The top one in the east It's mine." Zhang Sanshan recalled.

Passing by the Zhaoyin tree, Jiang Chen found that there were five small temples around the Zhaoyin tree. The gate of the temple was covered by a red cloth, and he didn't know what was inside.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was curious, Zhou Yi'an next to him immediately gave him a look, telling him not to ask.

Jiang Chen held back his curiosity, so he could only follow Zhang Sanshan into the village over there.

The village is very lively. Many children are running and playing on the street after lunch. Winter is the happiest day for these children.

At the same time, many people greeted Zhang Sanshan, after all, no one knew the name of his young master.

At the end of the road is the Zhang family's old house.

The old house is so big that you can't see the side at a glance, and there are even moss left on the bottom of the wall, which shows that it has existed for many years.

The threshold is very high, at least half a meter.

Jiang Chen knew this. In ancient times, only those families with deep background built such a high threshold, and the average family's maximum was ten centimeters.

Stepping into the yard, there are still people living in it, cleaning around.

"Little master, come back." An old man came out and said respectfully.

"Well, how is mother's health?" Zhang Sanshan asked softly.

"You are in good health, and you have eaten a lot today," said the old man.

"Well, I'm going to see my mother, and you will arrange these friends." Zhang Sanshan ordered.

"Jiang Chen, I'm going to see my mother, you follow Uncle Fu, he will arrange your rooms." Zhang Sanshan said.

"Well, let's go." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Girl, you go with me too." Looking at Zhang Zhilan who was about to slip away over there, Zhang Sanshan grabbed Zhang Zhilan's arm.

"Just go, why are you so fierce." Zhang Zhilan pouted.

Soon, Uncle Fu arranged the room, Jiang Chen lived with Zhou Yi'an, the scholar shared a room with Yan Xiaoliu, and as for Fatty, he lived with Qiao'er.

The big kang head in the northeast was already on fire, and Jiang Chen sat on it unconsciously. Not to mention, it was much more comfortable than a hotel.

Through the glass outside, Jiang Chen looked at the courtyard and said: "A good courtyard, the Zhang family's old house can embody material and cultural heritage."

"Even if it was given by the higher-ups, the Zhang family wouldn't want it. They wouldn't hand in such ancestral things." Zhou Yi'an said with a smile.

"By the way, why didn't you ask me at the entrance of the village just now, what are those five small temples for?" Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the kang, lit a cigarette and asked curiously.

"That's the Immortal Temple, it's disrespectful to discuss the immortal gods inside in front of the Immortal Temple." Zhou Yi'an said slowly.

"Immortal Temple?" Jiang Chen stared at Zhou Yi'an in surprise, wondering when this kid became so superstitious.

"Brother Chen, have you heard of the Five Great Immortals of the Northeast?" Zhou Yi'an asked back.

"Fox, willow, gray, white, yellow, who doesn't know." Fatty Gao stood at the door at some point, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and said while eating.

"That's right, it's the five great immortal families of Hu, Liu, Hui, Bai, and Huang, and they are called Chuma Immortals in the northeast folks." Zhou Yi'an took over the conversation and said.

"What are you talking about?" Yan Xiaoliu and the scholar also followed.

"Talking about the Northeast Immortal Family." Fatty Gao replied.

"Really, I've heard of it too. I heard that there are five great fairy families in the Northeast, fox, willow, gray, white, and yellow. The fox is the fox, the willow is the snake, the gray is the mouse, and the white is white. It means hedgehog, and this yellow refers to weasel, and there is another name here, it is called Huangpizi." Yan Xiaoliu said as he divided some melon seeds from Fatty Gao.

"That is to say, the five small temples under the tree at the entrance of the village are dedicated to these five immortals?" Jiang Chen asked.

"That's right, Brother Chen, it's the five-way fairy." Zhou Yi'an nodded.

"Fortune teller, tell us about the five-way fairy. I heard there are others blocking the way to ask for seals? What does this mean?" Fatty Gao said, knocking on his melon seeds.

"Okay, since you're interested, let me talk about the begging Huang Jiaxian first." Zhou Yi'an poured a glass of water, then sat on the chair, feeling like a storyteller.

"This Huang Jiaxian is also a weasel. According to folklore, a weasel who has attained enlightenment will possess and manipulate people's minds, causing them to become insane, behave abnormally, and even show obvious characteristics of weasel possession. I enshrined a god for the weasel, built a small temple, and honored it as Huang Daxian." Zhou Yi'an paused when he said this, and suddenly gained momentum.

"It is said that this yellow fairy belongs to the second of the five great fairy clans in Northeast China. He is a pioneer among the people in this group. The local shaman is indispensable for asking and seeing things. It is said that this weasel has reached a certain level of practice, and he will definitely find someone to make a fool of himself. This kind of thing is actually because Huang Daxian believes that his own cultivation ability is not as high as that of others, and he thinks that human spiritual power is better than other species. They are all tall, so this is to use people's mouth seal to reach a higher level."

"Then what if I don't say it?" Fatty Gao asked back.

"Don't say? This is more particular. Weasels are usually found in rural mountains and forests. You will see a man wearing a straw hat, standing upright, and speaking in a high-pitched voice, asking passers-by: You say I look like a human. Or is it like a god? If passers-by say that they are like humans, then the weasel will become a human body after completing its practice, and will give many benefits to those who are sealed. You need to practice again. And this person will bring a lot of revenge." Zhou Yi'an stared at Fatty Gao casually.
