The last Onmyoji

Chapter 168

When I answered this way, the old man full of corpse spots was taken aback for a moment, then he burst out laughing, pointed at me and said, "I really can't guess this, but I can see that you and your grandfather are of the same virtue. "

His laughter really made me feel a lot kinder, especially the expression on his face when he mentioned my grandpa, which made my impression of this old man almost a 360-degree turn. It can be seen that he and grandpa really have a very good relationship.

Just like me and Lin Erdan, Fatty.And their friendship has really gone through a lifetime of precipitation.

"Grandpa, can you tell me what's going on? To be honest, before my grandfather passed away, he deceived almost everyone, including me. His strength lies in I only found out after he died," I said.

He nodded and said: "Actually, after I heard that your grandpa had a falling out with Song Laogui, he even came to take away the Kunlun Dragon Root. I thought that these two people started plotting for future generations , and later I heard that your grandfather ruthlessly took Old Ghost Song's army and took away the dragon fetus, so I was curious about you, very curious."

"What am I curious about?" I asked.

"He came to me for a drink from a thousand miles back then, but his capacity for alcohol was still terrible. When he was drunk, he told me, "Brother, look at me now, don't you think that when my grandson grows up, I surprised you." The old man looked at me and said with a smile, his smile was full of jokes, obviously he didn't say a word, that is, he surprised me so much.

I am also ashamed when he said this, but what can I do?If my grandfather had taught me Taoism and martial arts since I was a child, my buddy might be a genius now, but now my very uncomfortable grandfather intervening in my life is actually aimed at the present.

Before the second uncle appeared in Linjiazhuang, my life was a life that I decided, and no one interfered with me at all. The only communication I had with my grandfather was to ask me how my grades were and when I would get married. Daughter-in-law or something like that, apart from surprising me after death, how did he ever train me before he was alive?

I have to say that the three of them are extremely smart people. The old man could almost see what I was thinking from the expression on my face, and said: "Actually, don't think too much, everyone thinks your grandpa When you will teach a monster, you are a good-for-nothing, but have you ever thought that when everyone thinks you are a good-for-nothing, you suddenly become a monster, and this process is really surprising? "

"To tell you the truth, I have thought about it before, but in this situation, I have no hope in this life. You should tell me more about the three of you brothers and sisters?" I said to him.

He nodded and said: "This village is the remnants of the gods. Of course, I say that, you don't have to understand. Just as you think, the people in this tribe are descendants of ghosts at that time, and our master is He is the descendant of the ghost way, responsible for guarding a secret, a shocking secret."

"What is this secret, we don't know. People outside now only know about Zhang Daoling, and no one knows Tubo. Who knows that the so-called Longhuzheng Zhang Tianshi is just a boy who gave Tubo a cow? If According to some martial arts novels out there, after Zhang Daoling created the so-called Five Dou Rice Dao, he deceived his masters and exterminated his ancestors, and the original ghost dao disappeared. In fact, it is not the case. The power of the ghost dao cannot be understood by outsiders. At first Zhang Daoling was called Wudou Ghost Dao, which actually meant that he recognized himself as a branch of Ghost Dao, but later, Tu Bo didn’t let him do it. A large number of people, including Uncle, disappeared mysteriously, while the rest came here and settled down, and because of Uncle Tu's disappearance, most of the classics have disappeared, and this inheritance has already declined. "

"When the war broke out, the three of us were brought back by the master. Later, when the Japanese pirates invaded China, the master asked me to guard here, and your grandfather and old ghost Song went out of the mountain. Sometimes I feel, The way of ghosts means that ghosts will come out of troubled times, and they come out of the mountain to lure the dead into the underworld."

"In the land of Bashu, there is a shocking secret below. It is called Fengdu. It is said that no matter where the undead are, they must come here to report after death. It's definitely not going to happen."

"So, when your grandfather came out of the mountain with Song Laogui, the master's original intention was not to let them fight against anyone, but to save the souls of the dead, but they are also human beings, descendants of Yan and Huang, and they even participated in the struggle later. Within reason."

"Later, Master Zuohua, your grandfather and Old Ghost Song came back and went once, to a place that Master didn't allow you to go to. After that, no one knows what the two of them saw there and what they got. But what I can tell you is that before going to that place, your grandfather and Song Laogui were still close brothers. After they came out, they parted ways. After that, Song Laogui had Song Zhai, and your grandfather started His decades-long plan." The old man said.

"Where?!" I asked.

"It's where Tubo and the others disappeared," said the old man.

"Where is that place?" My curiosity was completely aroused. If Dragon and Tiger, which is now regarded as the ancestral home of Taoism, thought it was a branch of the Ghost Dao at the very beginning, then the Bashu Ghost Dao , isn't it the source of ten thousand ways?How can people not be curious about the places where so many "gods" disappear?

"I won't tell you, unless it's really like what your grandfather said, when you surprise all of us one day." The old man looked at me and said.

I was stunned and didn't know how to answer.In the end, after holding back for a long time, I asked him: "Then tell me, what is the purpose of you calling me here today?"

"Let me tell you where you are going next, and Old Ghost Song already has Song Zhai, which is considered to be his own family, and I am a person who should have died a long time ago, but ghosts cannot live without successors. "He looked at me, still with a meaningful smile on his face.

I seemed to understand what he meant, and immediately waved my hand and said, "What are you kidding?! You said it yourself, I'm a piece of shit!"

"Ghost Dao doesn't look at this. It's been so many years. You haven't seen that outsiders, these so-called descendants of Ghost Dao, they even almost forgot their own identities? Secret, guarding the secret, who knows what the secret is? I Keeping them away from the outside world, and not telling them it’s a secret, on the one hand, I want them to live a simple life, hunting and surviving, it’s that simple, and on the other hand, I’m afraid they really envy the life outside.”

"So I feel very selfish. They treat them as savages at the first sight of you. This is the biggest unfairness to them. They don't even know that they are guarding secrets that they don't know. , is it really good?" the old man looked at me and said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I don't dare to bet. After all, Tu Bo made his last words before he left to let them guard here. There must be a reason for him. Although they have lived here for thousands of years, they have experienced nothing except multiplying here. But I dare not take it seriously. Let them go, what if they are used one day in the future, what should I do? I tell you this, in fact, it is still a burden for you. I hope you will take them out of the mountains and let these kind people survive , but I also hope that you can let them call them when they need it." He said.

"I just want to know, why me?" I asked.

"Because you got her approval, she will bring you unexpected surprises." The old man looked at the wrinkled face lying at his feet and said.

After finishing speaking, he sighed and said: "The number of descendants has grown from being extremely large at the beginning to now becoming a small village, which is why I urgently want them to leave the mountain. You are from outside, close relatives Do you understand what will happen if the marriage continues?"

I don't know how to respond to what he said.The consequences of inbreeding, I understand.This is also the reason why I have always been very dissatisfied with Lin Jiadi's cuteness. Although Lin Xiaoyao and I are already separated by five volts, we both have the surname Lin!

"Why is mine? I don't think you understand what I mean. Why, Master Song Zhai's descendants can't do it? It's me? You are a big brother, and the two of them should be impartial." I asked road.

"Two points. First, I saw that your grandfather didn't raise you into a monster, which means he has no selfish desires. Second, I gave him a chance. He has been here just like you, but he saw Shi Nu's first The first reaction was to kill her, and you saved her, even though you were not sure whether saving her would be detrimental to yourself, you still did it."

"As I get old, I have forgotten many things my master taught me, but I remember one sentence clearly,"

"Goodness is the foundation of human beings."
