Chapter 435 Mystery of Parents
I was brought up by my second uncle, and my memory of my parents is very vague.

I remember when I was a child, I asked my second uncle where my parents had gone. The second uncle always kept silent, with a sad face, and kept smoking.

Over the years, I have become used to being alone, and my impression of my parents is only a vague shadow.

However, the second uncle's "big brother" made me focus all my attention on the middle-aged man opposite.

The face of the other party is very similar to that of the second uncle, with gray hair.

With trembling lips, I didn't know how to speak, and looked excitedly at this middle-aged man who should be my father.

Senior Zhang, no, maybe I should call this one my father. He turned around with a complicated expression, looked me up and down, and finally said, "Xiaofan, I have suffered you all these years."

I feel that something is about to flow out of my eye sockets. This feeling is very unpleasant.

"Brother, I didn't expect to see you again in this life." The second uncle walked forward excitedly, grabbed his father's arm, and looked him up and down.

"Second, there are many things, I don't know what to say, in short, thank you for taking care of Xiaofan." The father looked a bit vicissitudes, and patted the second uncle's shoulder heavily.

"You don't need to say anything, just come back." The second uncle's eyes were slightly red.

I felt something stuck in my heart, and I wanted to say something, but I didn't know where to start.

"Second Uncle, what's going on with all this?" I tried my best to calm down, hesitated, and asked.

The second uncle turned around, glanced at us with a complicated look, and said, "Let's find a place to sit down first, it's hard to say anything."

"That's right, this is a happy event. It's not easy for the family to reunite. Why are you so sad?" Fatty Wang came over with a smile.

When passing by a pile of crushed ice, the timid fellow shuddered and asked worriedly, "Is that evil thing dead, won't it come back to life?"

"To be completely out of my wits is luck. If it hadn't been sealed for a long time, we would not be able to stop the strength of that evil thing." Father sighed.

Ghost Detective Xu went to the secret room, found a few old newspapers, and spread them on the floor, and we sat on the floor.

Fatty Wang was heartless, took out his cigarettes with a smile, and scattered them around.

"Brother, I want to ask a question. Sister-in-law...is she still there?" The second uncle sat on the ground, lit the cigarette in his hand, took a deep breath, and asked hesitantly.

I fixed my eyes and looked at my father. For some reason, a figure subconsciously appeared in my mind.

I remember the first time I went to the Underworld, the mysterious woman I met in the woods, there was always an aura about her that I wanted to get close to.

My father didn't speak, the wrinkles on his forehead were somewhat different from my vague memories when I was a child, just smoking cigarettes non-stop.

I don't know why, my heart subconsciously picked up, and I looked at the other party nervously.

"Brother?" The second uncle showed nervousness in his eyes and called out tentatively.

"Your sister-in-law, what should I say? You can say yes or no." The father said hesitantly.

"That is to say, she is still alive?" The second uncle said excitedly.

I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, even I couldn't explain the complicated mood at the moment.

My parents left too early. In fact, in my growing memory, my impression of my parents is very vague.

When other children had parents, I also envied, envied, and even complained.

However, as I grow older, I have gotten used to the life without parents, and sometimes I even feel that there is nothing wrong with living with my second uncle.

However, when my parents who had disappeared from my life suddenly reappeared, it was difficult for me to describe my current mood.

"Second uncle, every time I asked about my parents when I was young, you were unwilling to answer. Can you tell me now, what happened that year?" I asked nervously.

"Let me tell the story. In fact, things back then were quite complicated." Father sighed.

I turned my eyes to my father, feeling a little apprehensive, but I couldn't help being curious, and wanted to know what happened that year.

"When you were three years old, your mother got a strange disease..." My father took a deep breath of cigarettes and began to slowly talk about the events of that year.

I sat on the ground and listened quietly, unable to tell what mood I was in at the moment.

It turned out that on the day of my third birthday, my mother suddenly got a strange disease. My father searched all the doctors nearby, but there was no cure.

Chinese medicine and western medicine, and even the witches from all over the world, and my father came to look for her, but no matter who saw my mother's symptoms, they all shook their heads and said they were helpless.

Seeing my mother losing weight day by day, even walking became more and more difficult, my father felt like a knife was piercing his heart.

I had already given up, but my father accidentally found a plant called Mandala japonica in an ancient book at home, which could cure my mother's illness.

However, this plant called mandala is only available in the underworld.

There are many ways to enter the underworld. Whether it is passing through the underworld or walking through the underworld, the soul can pass through the underworld.

But if you want to bring things out of the underworld, soul penetration is not feasible, and you must enter the underworld physically.

The yin and yang are separated, and if you want to enter the underworld with your body, it is undoubtedly difficult to reach the sky.

In order to cure his mother's illness, his father put all his eggs in one basket and decided to try the famous one-line sky since ancient times.

A line of sky is a place name. There is a saying among the older generation: "A line of sky connects yin and yang."

If you want to enter the underworld with your physical body, there is no other way except to go through the sky.

But even children know the danger of Yixiantian. If ten people go in, none of them can come out alive.

In order not to let the mother die, the father carried the mother on his back and walked for a long time.

After going there, I never came out again. The second uncle always thought that my parents died inside.

"The legend of Yixiantian is true, and it can indeed connect to the underworld." The father threw away the half cigarette butt in his hand.

"Then have you found the mandala flower?" I asked excitedly.

"I found it, but that kind of flower didn't completely cure your mother's illness." Father sighed deeply.

"Sister-in-law, what's the situation now?" The second uncle asked urgently.

"Because of her physical condition, she can't leave the underworld." The father replied with some sorrow.

"Is there no way?" I asked unwillingly.

"There is a way. I wasn't sure before, but you accidentally found the Nine Provinces Dragon Pattern Cauldron. Now I am a little more sure." Father stood up excitedly.

I was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the bronze tripod not far away, wondering what the relationship between saving my mother had to do with the Kyushu dragon pattern tripod.

"It's related to the Jiuzhou Longwen Ding. Could it be the dragon's veins?" The second uncle looked at his father sideways and guessed.

"Yes, as long as you can find the spirit of the dragon veins, you can completely improve your sister-in-law's physique and let her return to the Yang world." Father nodded vigorously.

"Dragon veins!" I murmured to myself, the drawing on the Kyushu dragon pattern tripod is not a general dragon vein map, but the Kunlun main vein.

"By the way, big brother, before the evil thing died, it said that you were inspecting the two worlds. What's going on?" The second uncle came back to his senses and asked.

Father smiled wryly, and stretched out his hand to touch the center of his brow, and a blue mark appeared between his brows.

I was startled, and felt that when the cyan mark appeared, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.

"You also know that with a mortal body, it is impossible to stay in the underworld for a long time. Only by obtaining an official position in the underworld can I stay in the underworld for a long time, and I can protect your sister-in-law." The father explained to the second uncle with a wry smile.

"No wonder, I said, why does eldest brother have such a strong cultivation now." The second uncle's eyes flashed suddenly.

I stared blankly at the mark between my father's eyebrows. This is the power of the official position in the underworld. The power of frost on his body all came from the blue mark between his eyebrows.

"Since my sister-in-law needs the spirit of the dragon veins, it should not be too late. I will go and expand the dragon vein map on the bronze tripod now." The second uncle was impatient, stood up, and hurried to the bronze tripod.

Whether it was out of the consideration of helping my mother or curiosity about the map of the dragon veins of Kyushu, I followed my second uncle and walked towards the bronze tripod.

Ghost Detective Xu took his mobile phone and walked aside silently, lighting up for us.

The second uncle stopped beside the bronze tripod, squatted down slowly, and stared at the carvings on the bronze tripod without blinking.

The bronze tripod was stained with rust, and the pattern was blurred. In addition, it was composed of many fragments, making it even more difficult to recognize the original relief.

"It's a mess, I can't see anything clearly." Fatty Wang shook his chubby head and moved closer.

"There's rust on the bronze tripod, and there's too much dust, do you want to find a small brush to clean it?" Ghost Detective Xu suggested.

I squatted down on the side, blinked a few times, and observed this famous bronze tripod up close, trying to see the mystery of the dragon's veins from above.

It's a pity, because the pattern is really hard to make out, my eyes are sore from looking at it, and I can't see why.

"It's been too long, and I can't recognize the original Kyushu dragon vein map at all. What should I do?" The second uncle stood up disappointed.

"It's all put together with pieces, and you can't clean it with a brush. It will all fall apart when you touch it." I took a step back cautiously, for fear that the voice of the bronze tripod that was completely put together would suddenly fall apart.

"Dragon Vein Map of Kyushu, it's your opinion, step back a little bit." Father said behind him.

We were all stunned for a moment, and blinked for some unknown reason, but we still obeyed our father's instructions and retreated a certain distance.

Father walked in front of the bronze tripod, the eyebrow rune appeared again, and a layer of white mist-like cold air emerged out of thin air.

I stared nervously at the scene in front of me, wondering what method my father would use to show the Kyushu dragon vein map on the bronze tripod.
