Chapter 16: How Do You Prove You're a Child?
Han Feng's shout actually amused the old voice.
"Boy, how do you prove that you are a child? Even if it is a child's pee, it is useless to me, isn't this the rhythm of digging and slapping your face?" the old voice laughed.
Han Feng instantly blushed and said, "Then you're not a ghost?"
"Of course not, it's not a thunder hammer either!" said the old voice with interest.
Han Feng's heart was on fire, and he roared: "Then what are you pretending, hurry up and give Lao Tzu out!"
As soon as Han Feng's voice fell, the old voice suddenly stopped.
Han Feng's heart began to furious, this black rumbling was not bright, and it was suddenly so quiet, this is the most fatal, it can infinitely expand his fear.
"You come out quickly, Lao Tzu is terrible, I am so angry that I am even scared of myself!" Han Feng shouted.
Suddenly, Han Feng felt the yin wind coming, and the hairs on his body stood up.
"Could it be that what I met is not a ghost, but a monster?" Han Feng was shocked.
So Han Feng pulled the nail off his ass and yelled: "Come on, come on, I'll hit one for one, and I'll hit a pair of two!"
Sure enough, the bottom of this dim well still only echoed with Han Feng's own voice: "Hit a pair, hit a pair, hit a pair, a pair, a pair..."
Could it be that this monster is trapped at the bottom of the well and can't get out, so it's easy for someone to relieve his boredom? Han Feng was stunned in his heart.
"Elder, take in the supernatural powers!" At this time, Han Feng said this sentence without care.
"Okay!" After a crisp answer, the chill disappeared, and a faint light source appeared not far from Han Feng's eyes.
Han Feng squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that this was a white-haired and dirty old man holding a lantern in his hand, and there was a faint word on the lantern.
"Old man, I accidentally fell, don't scare me, I'm still a child!" Han Feng said aggrievedly.
"Scare you, you scared me when you pretended to be X with me!" said the old man with a smile.
Soon, the old man walked up to Han Feng and said with a smile: "You are the first guest to come to my house in so many years, come into the house to talk!"
Han Feng saw that the old man was kind, and felt that he should not be a bad person, but in the Lijin Empire, he couldn't see through the thoughts in other people's hearts, so he still chose to be cautious.
In this way, under the guidance of the old man, Han Feng walked into the old man's house.
said it was a home, but in fact, it felt like a hole, and Han Feng was a little skeptical that this old man was a groundhog.
"Old man, how can you live in such a place?" Han Feng asked tentatively.
The old man suddenly laughed, patted Han Feng's hand and said, "Young man, this matter is a long story, do you really want to hear it?"
Under Han Feng's strong request, the old man opened the conversation.
It was an autumn I don't know how many years ago, when Lijin was still an ordinary small mountain village, and the eldest son of the old man's family gave birth to a boy, and this boy was born to talk and remember a lot of things, which made this small mountain village lively.
Soon, the news spread, and not long after that, late one night, a group of masked men on black horses broke into this small mountain village and gathered everyone under the big tree at the entrance of the village, with the purpose of finding the old man's grandson.
The whole village regarded the old man's grandson as a god, and no one was willing to say where the child was, which made the group of people start to threaten the lives of the villagers, and the old man couldn't stand it and his neighbors and friends lost their lives in order to protect their grandchildren, so they stood up themselves.
After this, all the villagers were sent back to their homes, and the old man was politely invited to the woods outside the village to be informed of a prophecy.
The content of the prophecy is that Lijin Village will give birth to a little boy who can speak at birth, and this little boy will turn Lijin Village into the Lijin Empire, and then the empire will encounter a mutiny, and a guardian god and a guardian god Niangniang will come forward to save the Lijin Empire, and then another big event will happen to the Lijin Empire.
"Wait a minute, old man, you said Lili is your grandson?" Han Feng asked with wide eyes.
"Do you know Lili?" the old man asked in the same surprise.
Han Feng slapped the bridge of his nose and said, "I don't only know him, I also know his son!"
The old man smiled: "Did he show you a picture handed down by your ancestors?"
Han Feng was shocked in his heart and hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, you haven't finished listening to the rest of the story!" the old man smiled and told the rest of the story.
After listening to what the masked leader said, the old man questioned the true identity of the masked leader, and the group of people just said that they did not belong here, but only to promote the process of the "plan", of course, the old man did not know what the plan was.
But at that time, the leader of the masked men said that in order to minimize the traces of intervention, they would erase the ten days in this world, and after these ten days, the Lijin Empire would rise from the ground, and the old man, as the only person in the know, had to cut himself off.
After hearing this, the old man was very peaceful in his heart, for his grandson to become a master, he cut off his life that was about to come to an end, so he plunged into an ancient well beside him.
Unexpectedly, the ancient well didn't know how deep it was, so the old man sat firmly on the ground after falling for a long time.
In this way, the old man didn't know how many years he had spent in this place, and today he met Han Feng.
"I've been holding back for so many years, chatting with a toad here all day long, I'm going crazy, you can appear today, it may be fate, I give you a gift, it should be my heart!" said the old man, and took out a box from under the bed with his back slumped.
"This thing I found here, it gets hot in winter and cooler in summer, it's a good thing to be around, so I'll give it to you!" the old man said, and put the box on Han Feng's lap.
Han Feng opened the box and found that inside the box was a translucent turtle shell!
"Old man, have you found the words on this?" Han Feng asked, touching the turtle shell.
"I thought it was a picture, but I had been thinking about it for so many years, but I really couldn't figure out what it meant, and what was a word?" the old man asked with a face full of curiosity.
"Words... It's a kind of symbol that records what is said, and everyone knows it, so that there is no need to pass it on by word of mouth!" Han Feng said with a roll of his eyes.
Two lights appeared in the old man's eyes, and he muttered quietly, "Very good! Very good!"
Han Feng just wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly found that the old man had closed his eyes and his hands were hanging down to his thighs.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Han Feng said as he reached out and tried the old man's snort, and found that the old man was no longer breathing.
Han Feng withdrew his hand violently, and a sour feeling welled up in his heart.
Placing the old man lying flat on the clay kang in his room, Han Feng bowed deeply and said, "Senior, you are liberated, go to another world to live your wonderful life!"
Before leaving, Han Feng turned around at the door, looked at the old man's body, and said in a choked voice: "You also have a great-grandson, called Yuan Shangcao, my name!
