63. The sixty-third talisman

Zhou Da's appearance is no different from when he died, and his age has not regressed or increased, but this dress is really the same as the strange Shu Huang who hooked up with little Lori on the side of the road at first glance.

Zhou Tong looked at it vigilantly for a while and asked, "Dad?"

Zhou Da sighed with tears in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Son, you have grown up." ”

Zhou Tong: "......"

"How can you be sure that this is Zhou Da?" Ling Yuan was even more vigilant, since Zhou Da appeared, he had protected Zhou Tong in his sphere of influence, he stared at Zhou Da's every move, and asked, "What proof do you use to prove that you are Zhou Da?"

"Well......" Zhou Da thought for a moment and said, "Son, you had a high fever when you were three years old, the fever reached thirty-nine degrees, and the fever subsided after staying in the hospital for more than a week, and the first thing you did when you were discharged from the hospital was to see the birds nesting in the backyard, afraid that if no one fed them, they would die." ”

Zhou Tong quietly listened to Zhou Da tell many things when he was a child, and those vague impressions became very clear under Zhou Da's narration.

He is different from ordinary children, he has memories when he is three or four years old, so he can tell whether what Zhou Da said is true or false.

"That's all?" Ling Yuan asked dissatisfiedly, "Memories can be plagiarized, and there is no other proof?"

"Alright. Zhou Tong smiled and beckoned to Ling Yuan, "He's my dad." ”

Memories can be plagiarized, but the human heart cannot.

When Zhou Da stood in front of him, he felt exactly the same as when he was a child.

The impression of Zhou Da, tall and strong, like a hill that will never collapse, laughs heartily with him when he is happy, and makes him happy when he is sad.

"Dad. Zhou Tong walked a few steps and stood in front of Zhou Da, with a pair of dark eyes shining with Chenxing.

Zhou Da looked at Zhou Tong gently, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said softly: "Hey." ”

Dark clouds shook overhead, hiding the moon behind it.

The lotus lamp emitted a faint blue light, reflecting Zhou Da's figure vaguely.

Zhou Tong poured wine into the cup, put it in front of Zhou Da, the wine glass floated up, and walked away from Zhou Da's mouth, the amount of wine was not less, but the wine dissipated a lot, Zhou Da said: "Do you remember what wine I like to drink." ”

"Hmm. Zhou Tong nodded, raised his wine glass, thought about it for a long time, his heart shook, and finally couldn't help but say, "Dad, I ......"

"It's fine. Zhou Dayi raised his hand and said, "As a parent, put your children first, this is your duty, you don't have to apologize to me." He played with the wine glass, absorbed the wine in it little by little, and said, "I have committed a lonely and indebted life, and there is no one to rely on in this life, but your mother is with me regardless of a single thing." Back then, I avoided her because I was afraid of being lonely, but she never gave up on me. Soon after I married her, she became pregnant with you. But the good times didn't last long, when I was pregnant with you, my physique was not good, I was contaminated with a bad disease, and he died when I gave birth to you. ”

Zhou Da said: "It's not your fault, it's all because of me, I killed her." ”

Zhou Da said: "When you were born, you were born with a pair of yin and yang eyes, with a pure yang body, and you are a good physique for cultivation, I was ecstatic, but I found that what you committed was a lack of life, and as you use your ability, your life span will be shortened accordingly." It's like ......" he pointed to the candle on the side, and the extinguished candle suddenly burned again, "The candle burns, shortening inch by inch, and when it burns out, the whole candle will be wiped out, so ......" Zhou Da pointed again, the candle went out, "I can only let him stop burning." ”

"So you blocked my abilities?"

"Yes. Zhou Da said, "I'm sorry, I've limited your growth. ”

"Dad. Zhou Tong said, "What did you sacrifice for this? ”

"It's just a life for a life. Zhou Da said, "Before I died, I told you not to modify the furnishings in your home, precisely because there is a life-changing situation, and that pattern will suck my life away, and when your life is at the end of your life, that formation will be launched, and the gathered vitality will continue to be injected into your body." ”

Zhou Tong pondered for a while and asked again: "The price." ”

Zhou Da: "......"

Zhou Tong forced his eyes at Zhou Da and didn't ask anymore, but that look made Zhou Da unavoidable.

Zhou Da fidgeted and shook it, and said haha: "It's not a cost......"

"Huh?"

"Alas......" Zhou Da couldn't tell who was Lao Tzu and who was his son, "You know, everything in the world is closely related, and the butterfly effect affects the whole body." The change of life is fair, one for one, but there are many variables involved...... So, cough cough ......" Zhou Da didn't dare to look at Zhou Tong's eyes at all, hehe laughed twice, and said, "I was punished a little." However, the bitter bitterness has come, and the Lord of Yama saw that I had some ability, so he pardoned my sins and punished me for something else. ”

"So your soul is not complete?" Zhou Tong looked at Zhou Da expressionlessly, "Punish something else? be a ghost? stay in the underworld and never be reincarnated? No, your already incomplete soul itself cannot be reincarnated, even if it is transformed, entering the six realms is inherently crippled." ”

Zhou Da: "......"

After being seen thoroughly, Zhou Da sighed and said, "Alas, your eyes are already so powerful that they can't hide anything from you." ”

The atmosphere was strangely silent, Ling Yuan looked at Zhou Tong from the side, Zhou Tong had no expression on his face now, and there were no waves in those dark eyes, so that people couldn't see his feelings, but Ling Yuan had been with Zhou Tong for so long, and he could clearly understand Zhou Tong's mood at this time.

He was suppressing himself.

"Son......" Zhou Da called Zhou Tong tremblingly, but Zhou Tong suddenly knelt in front of Zhou Da, kowtowed to Zhou Da, and said, "Dad, I'm sorry for you." ”

Zhou Da hurriedly went to help Zhou Tong: "Don't, son." ”

Zhou Tong kowtowed three times in a row.

Zhou Da sighed and said: "Son, this is all Dad is willing, don't feel guilty, don't do stupid things, Dad is fine now." Zhou Da pulled the pattern on his clothes and said to Zhou Tong, "You see, as long as I wear this body, no ghost in the underworld will dare to offend me, black and white impermanence are my friends, if you don't reincarnate, you won't be reincarnated, I don't want to forget her." ”

Zhou Tong looked at the words on the chest of Zhou Da's clothes, and the word "pawn" was showing Zhou Da's identity.

Zhou Tong stepped forward and hugged Zhou Da's body, Zhou Da thought that Zhou Tong was coquettish like when he was a child, he laughed twice, hugged Zhou Tong, and patted him behind his back, "Such a big child, still coquettish, hehe......"

Zhou Tong let out a "hmm" and whispered something in Zhou Tong's ear.

Zhou Da was stunned, and when he realized what Zhou Tong was doing, his face changed suddenly, and he tried his best to push Zhou Tong away, but found that his body couldn't move at all.

"Son?!Tong'er?!"

Yin Zhang restrained Zhou Da's movements, Zhou Da didn't expect that he was blocked by the magic weapon he was used to in his life, he shouted: "Don't do stupid things!

Ling Yuan only noticed something strange at this time, he rushed over, but was stopped by Zhou Tong, and his steps were stunned.

"I thought it through. Zhou Tong said, "You said that it is the duty of parents to put their children first. In the same way, it is also our duty to honor our parents as a mother. ”

After saying this, Zhou Tong let go of Zhou Da.

Zhou Da regained his freedom, he hurriedly stepped forward to check Zhou Tong's situation, Zhou Tong was safe and sound, he smiled and said, "In this way, you should not be bullied in the underworld." ”

Zhou Da: "What stupid are you doing!"

"Wayward. Zhou Tong smiled, "If you can be willful, I can't be willful?"

"You gave him the soul?" Ling Yuan asked with a gloomy face, Zhou Tong shook his head, "I want to too, but I don't have that ability." ”

"What about you?" Ling Yuan looked at Zhou Tong in confusion.

"I made a mark on him. Zhou Tong exhaled, a little gray air overflowing from this breath, "If his soul is damaged again, I will bear this pain for him." ”

Ling Yuan: "......"

Ling Yuan felt a little explosive, but he held back his temper and lowered his voice and said, "Are you crazy?"

"Not crazy. Zhou Tong said seriously, "This is the only thing I can do for him." ”

Zhou Da was helpless, sat with Zhou Tong and drank wine, the father and son talked a lot this night, when it was dawn, Zhou Da said: "In the future, you can call me with soul incense on the fifteenth night of every month, if I have to be free, I will try to answer you, if I can't come, I will find a way to inform you." ”

Zhou Tong responded: "Okay." ”

Zhou Da drank the last sip of wine and said to Ling Yuan, "This master, come here." ”

Zhou Tong: "......"

Why do you have to talk to Ling Yuan in private......

Zhou Tong asked, "Dad?"

Zhou Da smiled as if he was smiling, "It's a small thing." ”

Ling Yuan glanced at Zhou Da and took a few steps to the side, Zhou Da hurriedly followed, and specially left a wall behind him to isolate the sound.

Zhou Da respectfully clasped his fists at Ling Yuan: "Jade Xuanjun." ”

"Hmm. Ling Yuan asked, "What are you looking for me to say?"

Zhou Da: "You should know that in Tong'er's current situation, Yangshou is at most thirty-five. ”

"Yes. ”

"But......" Zhou Da frowned slightly, and said very puzzled, "I secretly checked the book of life and death, and found that Tong'er's lifespan has been changed twice. ”

"Two?" Ling Yuan was also surprised, "What do you mean?"

"The first time it was originally written that he was twenty-five years old, because I helped him change his name, and twenty-five was crossed out, and later changed to thirty-five, but now thirty-five is also crossed out, but it is with a dotted line, and there is no number added afterwards. ”

"Is this the situation?" Although Ling Yuan didn't know much about the work of the underworld, this situation was indeed very special as far as he knew, and it was rare for Yang Shou to change it, and it was changed twice, and it was simply a strange story that there was no number in the follow-up.

Ling Yuan asked, "Did you hear anything from the underworld?"

"The book of life and death is in the hands of the judge, I have only seen it once, about Tong'er, I'm afraid I don't even know about black and white impermanence, no one in the underworld mentions, I think of a way, and then check it out a little more clearly, but ......" Zhou Da changed his words, looked at Ling Yuan, and said sincerely, "I calculated a hexagram for Tong'er before I died, he has two life and death barriers in this life, I helped him get through the first pass, but the second pass is at a loss, the stars are hidden in the clouds, and it is dark and unknown." However, seeing Yu Xuanjun by Tong'er's side, I believe that Tong'er can pass this difficulty. ”

When Ling Yuan heard this, he snorted coldly: "I, why should I help him?"

Zhou Da smiled and didn't speak, he bowed deeply to Ling Yuan and said, "Thank you Yu Xuanjun." ”

"Hey. Ling Yuan's face was gloomy, but Zhou Da's figure gradually disappeared, ignoring his refusal at all, after Zhou Da dispersed, Ling Yuan's eyes sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, I will let him live." ”

***

I thought that Zhou Da would have a great impact on Zhou Tong, but it turned out that Zhou Da did not have much impact, after sending Zhou Da away, Zhou Tong rested normally, opened a store to work during the day, and had three meals a day normally, as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Tong's ability has been activated, and it is difficult to return to a normal person's life, Ling Yuan didn't think of sealing Zhou Tong's ability again, but judging from Zhou Tong's current situation, he didn't look like he was ready to wash his hands at all.

Ling Yuan couldn't help but ask Zhou Tong what he thought once, but the other party just smiled, not at all like a person who knew his death, holding a watering can to water the beckoning tree in the store, Zhou Tong didn't say anything, only gave Ling Yuan four words: "Be safe with what you encounter." ”

Four words are enough to express Zhou Tong's mentality at this time.

At noon that day, Zhou Tong was about to temporarily close the store door for a nap, but the mobile phone suddenly rang, Zhou Tong picked up the phone, and the unexpected call was from the Chu family.

Chu Zeyun is the current young man of the Chu family, the leader of the younger generation, and has the highest voice among the three major families of Zhang Han and Chu. Chu Zeyun inherited the capable skills of the old man Chu, and he was one of the best in the formation, and even the older generation had many people who could not compare to Chu Zeyun's attainments in the formation.

Originally, among the three major Heavenly Master Dharma, Chu Zeyun was the most optimistic, but now, although the Chu family has obtained the custody of the Tianyan Town Altar Wood, Chu Zeyun's limelight has been completely stolen by Zhou Tong.

Chu Zeyun said on the phone: "Mr. Zhou, hello. "Although Zhou Tong has been included in the Chu family by the old man Chu at the Three Heavenly Masters Dharma Conference, it seems that Zhou Tong doesn't care if he is a member of the Chu family or not, and Chu Zeyun also properly grasps the relationship between the two, and calls Zhou Tong politely, instead of pulling him into a family with affection.

"Hello. Zhou Tong felt that the atmosphere was a little strict, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, what is Mr. Chu looking for me for?"

Seeing that the other party was straight to the point, Chu Zeyun didn't have to bother to talk about the topic, and said simply: "That's the case, some time ago, an ancient tomb was discovered in X City, and a team of exploration and archaeology personnel was formed. The Chu family has always had a relationship with the country, but whenever such an ancient tomb is found, it will let our Chu family go to explore the situation in the tomb first, this time it was my cousin who went, but ......" Chu Zeyun paused, and his tone was much stricter, "The exploration work that was originally planned for three days continued to five days, and after my cousin came up, he reported that he found traces of the Yin soldier's aisle in the tomb." So, Grandpa asked me to come to you, borrow your Yin Seal, and ask you to join the exploration archaeology team and go to the tomb with us. ”

Zhou Tong became interested all of a sudden.

If it weren't for Zhou Da's small shop, he would now be sitting in the Capital Museum to restore cultural relics.

It has always been his dream to go to the tomb, and he had the opportunity to "fight" with his mentor, but at that time, his health was not good, and he definitely couldn't stand the high-pressure and oxygen-deficient environment in the tomb, so he missed this opportunity.

Now that he had such a good opportunity, he said that he would go to the tomb to have fun.

Zhou Tong asked some detailed things, and Chu Zeyun answered them one by one, but Zhou Tong asked too carefully, and Chu Zeyun, who had been preparing for a night, felt that he couldn't accept the trick at all, so he threw away his armor and simply handed the secret information to Zhou Tong and let Zhou Tong see it himself.

Zhou Tong realized that he was a little excited when he took the information, he smiled apologetically, took the information and read it patiently.

Chu Zeyun was left to dry, looking around boredly, the more he looked, the more he felt that the feng shui in Zhou Tong's small shop was very good, the furnishings of every item had been carefully calculated, and the aura was full but there would be a situation of favoring one over the other, and every thing had been fully nourished, even their Chu family's treasure pavilion might not have such a good pattern.

Looking at it, the teapot suddenly moved, and it made a crisp sound when it touched the teacup, Chu Zeyun was frightened, and Tianyan Zhentan Mu, who had always been regarded as a treasure by the three masters, was using his aura to manipulate the teacup to pour water for Zhou Tong.

Ling Yuan's shadow floated beside Zhou Tong, and he was also looking at the information, and when he saw Tianyan Zhentanmu's movements, he said disdainfully: "You will be a sycophant." ”

Tianyan Town Tanmu buzzed: No, QAQ boss, listen to my explanation!

Zhou Tong took a sip of the teacup and said to Tianyan Zhentanmu, "Add some tea to the guests." ”

Tianyan Zhentanmu jumped over obediently, manipulating the teapot to fill Chu Zeyun's half-empty quilt with tea.

Chu Zeyun: "......"

Chu Zeyun's gaze moved away from the Tianyan Town Altar Wood and landed on Ling Yuan's body again.

The qi on that person's body was so powerful that it almost blocked the qi on Zhou Tong's body, where did such a powerful figure come from? Why didn't he feel the other party's existence at all before? What is he? Machine Spirit? Or is it the ghost of Zhou Tong's envoy?

Sensing Chu Zeyun's gaze, Ling Yuan glanced up at Chu Zeyun, Chu Zeyun's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt like he was being grabbed by fear, and he hurriedly lowered his head to look at the tea stalks in the water cup, and didn't dare to look at Ling Yuan again.

After reading all the information, Zhou Tong handed the things back to Chu Zeyun, and Chu Zeyun hurriedly asked, "What does Mr. Zhou mean?"

"What time do you meet and where?"

Chu Zeyun saw that Zhou Tong agreed, and said happily: "A week later, on the 16th, we will send a car to pick you up." ”

"Good. Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Then it's a word." ”

Chu Zeyun: "A word is a certainty. ”

This excitement lasted until the evening, Ling Yuan didn't quite understand, why was he so excited about the next tomb? Or did Zhou Tong like these ancient things, but he wasn't so excited when he went to the museum, could it be that Zhou Tong liked corpses?

The more he thought about it, the more crooked Ling Yuan became, completely immersed in his own world......

At night, Zhou Tong fell asleep and suddenly felt a chill attack, he opened his eyes, turned on the bedside lamp, and suddenly reflected two shadows in the dim light.

"He woke up. ”

"You see, I said I didn't need to call him, he was sure he would wake up. ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Tong said helplessly: "Two impermanence masters, visiting late at night, what are you doing?"

Bai Wuchang came to Zhou Tong with his long tongue down, his blood-red eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I disturbed your dreams, didn't you scare?"

…… How could he not be frightened, Zhou Tong smiled and said nothing.

Hei Wuchang said sternly: "I don't have time, let's talk about the point." ”

Bai Wuchang retracted his body, took out something from his sleeve for a long time, and finally took out something, he stretched out his miserable white hand in front of Zhou Tong, and said, "This thing is given to you, it is the two of us who thank you." ”

"Thank you?" Zhou Tong was confused, "Where do you start?"

"Recently, the yang world has not been peaceful, and there are evil warlocks who are causing trouble, not to mention killing people, and also imprisoning ghosts, which has brought great inconvenience to my work with your seventh master. Bai Wuchang said while swaying restlessly from side to side, "However, you have helped us a lot, and many of the ghosts that have disappeared recently have been returned to the underworld by you. I am grateful to you Seventh Master and come to give you some small thanks. ”

"That's it. Zhou Tong was a little surprised, he returned the things in his hand to the black and white impermanence, and said, "The two impermanence masters are willing to take care of my father more in the underworld, I don't dare to accept this gift." ”

When Bai Wuchang heard this, he put away his always smiling expression, and said with an unhappy face: "If you want to take it, you will accept it! Where did you get so much nonsense? Zhou Da helped us before, we will definitely take more care of him, this is our business with you, what do you mention him for?"

Hei Wuchang, who doesn't often speak, also said, "Take it, don't talk too much." ”

Zhou Tong had no choice but to put away the small stone and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

When he looked up again, the shadow of black and white impermanence was gone.

The little stone that fell into her hand was very unremarkable, it looked like it had been picked up from the side of the road, and if it was thrown on the ground, it was impossible to tell which was the mortal stone and which was the stone.

Zhou Tong was playing with the small stone under the lamp, the aura was introverted, and there was not much outside, and the aura escaping on the surface of the stone was so thin that it was only like an ordinary jade. However, when I looked into the stone, I could see the blood-like flocculent inside the stone, full of aura, almost breaking through the surface and spitting out.

Zhou Tong was very interested in the little stone, and he asked, "Ling Yuan, do you know what this is?"

"I don't know. Ling Yuan was also looking at this small stone, but there were too many magic weapons he had seen in his lifetime, and this small stone really couldn't get into his eyes, he just looked at it, and then looked away carelessly.

As a result, this move fell on Zhou Tong's side face where he seriously looked at Xiao Shi, that face was as gentle as jade, with delicate eyebrows, ancient facial features, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, naturally smiling, which tickled Ling Yuan's heart.

I can't take my eyes off this look, it seems that he is allowed to let the vicissitudes of life, he just wants to look at this face, the earth is desolate.
