Taboo Master

Chapter 258 Seeing Yang Chen Again
I stretched my head to look out the window, the speed of the train gradually slowed down, some lights appeared ahead, and it turned out that I had arrived at a small station.

The window was empty, and I was puzzled. I was about to put down the curtains when the light outside the window flickered, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in the corner of my eyes. gone.

I was startled, but in the blink of an eye, I could see clearly, why does this person look a bit like Mo Xiaobai?

The train shook for a while, then stopped slowly, and people got on and off the train one after another. I took out the apple Mo Xiaobai gave me, frowned, and Shao Peiyi smiled on the opposite side: "This brother, you are really special. of it."

I nodded subconsciously, picked up the apple and was about to bite it, when suddenly a hand stretched out beside me, and a voice said with a smile: "Such a big apple, give me half..."

I looked up in astonishment, and the smiling person standing in front of me was actually Mo Xiaobai!

Seeing me in a daze, he reached out and snatched the apple, broke the two halves vigorously, handed one half to me, and held the other half in his hand. He sat down next to Shao Peiyi and began to eat it.

I laughed, took a bite of the apple, and asked while chewing, "Where's your backpack? I see a lot of fruit in it. Why are they gone?"

Mo Xiaobai said a little depressed: "Don't mention it, I lost it all in order to get on this car..."

There were very few people on this train, and Mo Xiaobai didn't have any scruples, so he lowered his voice, beaming, and was about to tell his thrilling experience just now, when several people came up beside him, and at the same time the conductor also came to check the ticket, so Mo Xiaobai pretended to say that he lost his train ticket, and just like that, he successfully got another ticket.

After that, none of us mentioned how he got on the train. Shao Peiyi was full of curiosity, but he didn't talk too much, so we spent eight hours on the train like this, then got off the train and transferred to a car , at around two o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at Yang Chen's hometown.

This time it was a revisit to the old place, breathing the air of the countryside, I couldn't help but feel a kindness, I walked to the door of Yang Chen's house first, and saw that the damaged door had been replaced with a new one, recalling the past, He couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and started knocking on the door.

After a long time, there was a sound from the yard, and then the door opened, and Yang Chen's figure appeared in front of him.

Seeing us, he was stunned immediately, and there was something indescribable slowly showing in his eyes, like joy, but also like melancholy, he said in surprise: "You, Xiaotian? Why are you here?"

His voice was a little hoarse, and his expression was a little tired. I was puzzled, but I smiled and said, "Why, you don't welcome us?"

Yang Chen hurriedly said: "Why don't you welcome me? It's quite sudden. Why didn't you say anything first when you came here..."

He hurriedly let us in while talking. Among the three of us, he knew Shao Peiyi, and I introduced Mo Xiaobai, but only said he was my cousin. Yang Chen reluctantly greeted them , but he looks in a bad mood, and even his smile seems to be forced out. Could it be that something happened in his family?
The few of us entered the room, and I vaguely felt that something seemed wrong. This feeling is actually quite strange. Everything in this room looks normal and well-organized, but there is an inexplicable sense of depression, like a kind of... aura.

Yes, it’s the aura, it’s hard to describe this kind of thing, usually you can only feel it, but you can’t express it, just like when I’m standing here now, I feel that the light in the room seems to be very dark, but in fact, Yang Chen’s house The house is oriented to the southwest, and it is about two o'clock now. The sun is shining directly, and the sunlight is abundant, and the room is bright, but I just feel that the light in this room is not only dark, but the aura is depressing, and it makes people feel unspeakably awkward. .

Yang Chen let us into the room, I didn't move, I stood at the door and looked around the room, but soon found something wrong.

Just above the table in the middle of the room, there is a black and white photo with white flowers hanging on it. In the photo, it is Yang Chen's grandfather, Mr. Yang who possesses the unique skill of Lu Ban's Book of Heaven.

"Hey, Yang Chen, your grandfather, when..." I suddenly understood, and I felt a buzz in my head. This respectable old man was fine when I left last time. After a while, why did he pass away? up?

With tears in Yang Chen's eyes, he lowered his head and said, "Grandpa left just a few days after you left..."

My mind turned sharply, the scene at that time was vivid in my memory, so I shook my head and said: "No, at that time, grandpa said that at most he was paralyzed with both legs and couldn't stand up. How could he just go?"

Yang Chen said with hatred: "That's right, at that time Grandpa suppressed Yi Sheng's soul-loathing technique, but he didn't expect that a few days later, the Li Po that was lurking in his body suddenly went berserk, ran wildly in his body, Grandpa tried his best but still failed to gain the upper hand, in the end all the internal organs were shifted, and he didn't even get through the night..."

My face darkened, and the first thing that came to mind was Yi Sheng. This guy must be unwilling to fail repeatedly, and finally vented his grievances on Mr. Yang. Yes, it must be like this, otherwise, with Yang It is impossible for the old gentleman's ability to be unable to deal with the fierce spirit lurking in his body.

Thinking of this, a surge of anger surged in my chest, I gritted my teeth and asked, "Has the old man been buried yet?"

Yang Chen nodded silently: "It's been a while, but according to his old man's order, he was buried quietly, on the back mountain."

I suppressed my anger, nodded, strode to the table, put incense on the old man, looked up at Mr. Yang's portrait, felt sad in my heart, bowed deeply, and prayed: "Mr. He is a good friend of my grandfather. He has worked hard all his life to inherit the Luban Book of Heaven, and now he is ascending to bliss. Let’s go all the way. Don’t worry, if I find out that it was that bastard Yi Sheng who did it this time, I will definitely not let him go..."

As soon as Shao Pei saw this, he hurried up, bowed down respectfully, bowed three times, and then sighed: "The younger generation is a child of the Shao family outside the Guan, and I have heard my father say that Lu Ban's book of heaven is incomparable. I came all the way this time, I wanted to see the old man's demeanor, but I didn't expect to come too late..."

Mo Xiaobai stared blankly at Mr. Yang's portrait, but suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times. We all looked at him in surprise, this silly boy didn't know the Yang family. , how to do such a great gift?

Mo Xiaobai kowtowed, and said loudly: "Grandpa Yang, they have a grandpa, they have a father, and I have one too. Although I don't know you old man, my grandpa told me that if you travel the rivers and lakes and meet the heirs of Luban's Book of Heaven, you must You have to kowtow three times, thank you, although you are no longer here, I still want to kowtow to you, you have made a good journey, and when you arrive in the Paradise, don’t forget to give my grandpa a good time, just say, Xiaobai wants He died, and please don’t worry, the old man, I don’t wet the bed now..."

I was terrified when I heard it from the sidelines, so I quickly stretched out my hand to pull him up, covered his mouth, glared at him and said, "You're such a mess..."

Mo Xiaobai smiled, broke free, and said to me: "What's the mess? That's why I kowtow when I see a descendant of the Yang family, and now I'm done kowtowing..."

It was only then that I understood what he meant. It turned out that his family had intersected with the Yang family back then, but seeing the cunning in Mo Xiaobai's eyes, I glanced at Yang Chen and suddenly understood something, so I couldn't help laughing. Mo Xiaobai, this silly brother, is stunned and has a lot of thoughts. His grandfather said that he kowtows when he sees a descendant of the Yang family. Seeing that Yang Chen is young now, he definitely doesn't want to kowtow, so he took the initiative to kowtow to the portrait of old man Yang. , this can be regarded as his fooling around.

Yang Chen didn't care about these things, but after hearing that Mo Xiaobai was also an old friend, he greeted Mo Xiaobai again, exchanged a few words, and then took us to another room to talk.

I was in a very gloomy mood, thinking that it's no wonder that Yi Sheng hasn't made any movement these days, he must have put all his energy into this, and I will definitely investigate this matter later, and give old Mr. Yang justice.

Yang Chen looked at us, opened his mouth and asked us if we had come from a long way, if there was anything important, I didn't hide it, although the old man left, but the descendant of Lu Ban was still there, just like Yang Chen said, it was the same.

So, I briefly told Yang Chen what happened these days, of course I only talked about the skull, and didn't mention other things.

After Yang Chen listened, his expression didn't change much. He proposed to look at the skull. Shao Pei carefully took it out from his backpack in a hurry, opened layers of packages, and the skull reappeared in front of us.

But Shao Peiyi and I were surprised when we saw the skull this time. When we took it out from the ceiling last time, the skull was still full of bones, but after two days of hard work, it turned purple-black.

I told Yang Chen about the change of the skull, and he finally changed his face. He stood up, looked at it carefully for a long time, sat down on the chair, frowned and thought for a long time, and asked us to wait a while before running in. I went to the back room and didn't come out for a long time.

I didn't ask too much, and I didn't urge him. This guy is now an intern Luban heir. If there is something he doesn't understand, he must read the Luban secret method without words.

However, we waited for a long time before Yang Chen came back slowly, but he frowned tightly, shook his head at us, and said, "Sorry, I don't know what this thing is..."

I wondered: "You don't know either? But why do I feel that this thing seems to be related to the technique of disgusting victory, and it was found in someone's house. Is there no record in Luban's Heavenly Book?"

Yang Chen scratched his head, sighed and said, "To be honest, if my grandpa was still around, he would definitely recognize him. Unfortunately, alas..."

I couldn't help being speechless, yes, our purpose this time was actually to find Mr. Yang. Although Yang Chen is also a descendant of Luban, after all, the time is too short and he has little experience. However, Mr. Yang has already After passing away, is there really no way to deal with this matter?
