After Grandpa Tai finished speaking, his eyes were already moist, and Sun Shiqi was sitting on the bamboo chair, her body was already lying on her lap, holding her knees with her hands, crying softly, who would have thought that these people were so cruel, even a four-year-old child would not let go.

Grandpa closed his eyes, gently rubbed his eyes with his hand and said:

"Girl, it's a thing of the past, don't be too sad. As he spoke, he patted Sun Shiqi's back with his hand, and Sun Shiqi's crying gradually eased.

"Why should these people be so cruel to a little child, what do they want?" I said, clenching my hands and gritting my teeth

"They want the password in her shadow, this code can untie the shadow chain," Grandpa said to me suddenly in the dialect of his hometown.

I was stunned for a moment, and glanced at my grandfather, who nodded slightly, I understood that grandpa meant not wanting Sun Shiqi to know about the password.

Sun Shiqi raised her head slightly, looking at her grandfather with ruddy eyes, she didn't know if she didn't hear what her grandfather said.

The dialect of my hometown can only be understood in this village, and I can basically understand what they are saying when I come to my grandfather's house during the winter and summer vacations since I was a child, but I don't know how to speak dialects. Everyone basically met in Mandarin.

Sun Shiqi was looking at Grandpa in confusion, and I quickly took it and said:

"Grandpa said, those people want your shadow spirit. ”

Sun Shiqi looked at me suspiciously, and her eyes showed a look of distrust at what I said.

"Well, Knock Knock is right. Grandpa looked at me, then at Sun Shiqi and said.

Sun Shiqi put her head on her knees again and sighed easily.

I looked at Grandpa, who nodded.

The winter afternoon sun is still warm on the body, there is not a trace of clouds in the sky, and the sky is as clear as jasper. But there was a chill in my heart, and my grandfather motioned for me to comfort Sun Shiqi, and he got up and walked into the house.

I also followed the example of my grandfather, patted Sun Shiqi on the back with my hand, and just wanted to speak.

"Take your hands off mine. Sun Shiqi raised her head and looked at me with fierce eyes, and said coldly, as if I had done something vicious.

I was shocked, what's wrong with her, is it stimulated, isn't it good to be together these days, she doesn't have any reaction when she pulls and pulls, why did she suddenly change a person.

Sun Shiqi seemed to react to something, and said to me in a much slower tone:

"Leave me alone and don't touch me. ”

"Oh, are you alright? ”

"It's okay, you ignore me and leave me alone. ”

I had to sit on the stool and watch her arms crossed on her legs, her body lying on her arms, motionless, I don't know how long it took for my grandfather to come out of the house, carrying a small gray leather schoolbag.

Grandpa Tai walked up to us, looked at Sun Shiqi and then at me, and said to me:

"Knock knock, this girl is still sad. He paused.

"It's normal for anyone who listens to it to feel uncomfortable for a while. ”

Grandpa sat down on the chair slowly, opened the small schoolbag and fumbled for things inside, and after a while, Grandpa took out a black teardrop-shaped ring, and the ring was engraved with some strange symbols.

"Girl, get up and take this ring. Grandpa patted Sun Shiqi's shoulder and said.

Sun Shiqi slowly raised her body and sat up, the tears on her face were still clearly visible, and she looked at her grandfather suspiciously.

Grandpa motioned for Sun Shiqi to stretch out her right hand, Sun Shiqi stretched out her right hand to Grandpa, and Grandpa took Sun Shiqi's right hand and put the ring on her middle finger.

Sun Shiqi and I both looked at Grandpa, why did Grandpa Tai bring this ring to Sun Shiqi.

"Girl, I want to see if your shadow spirit can be awakened. This ring is a shadow left by the ancestors. You don't move, close your eyes, breathe evenly, and listen to my commands. ”

Grandpa Tai took Sun Shiqi's hand and closed his eyes himself.

"Whew...... Suck...... Call...... Suck ......"

At this time, Grandpa Tai suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were a little surprised, and he was also a little puzzled.

"What's wrong, grandpa. I asked, and at this time, Sun Shiqi also opened her eyes and looked at her grandfather.

"Oh, there's something weird. ”

"Could it be that Sun Shiqi's shadow spirit can't be awakened?" I said nervously.

"I haven't been told by my ancestors yet, but I've found something else. ”

"What a problem. Sun Shiqi and I asked in unison.

Grandpa thought for a while, and said to Sun Shiqi:

"Girl, I gave you a bouquet chain when you came just now, but I was afraid that you had a problem in your heart, so I didn't tell you. ”

"Really, I want my grandfather to cast a shadow chain on me, so that the man in black can't control me. Sun Shiqi looked at her grandfather in surprise and said.

"Well, it's good that you don't have a mustard in your heart, but the problem is that the Shadow Chain is gone. Grandpa looked at Sun Shiqi suspiciously.

Grandpa Tai carefully looked at Sun Shiqi's face again, and a smile leaked from his weather-beaten face, and said, "Girl, although you are blessed and have a hard life, you are talented. ”

"Talented. Sun Shiqi looked at her grandfather in some surprise.

At this moment two little birds flew through the sky, as if chasing and playing, and it would be nice if people were as carefree as birds!

Grandpa put down Sun Shiqi's hand, took back the ring in her hand and put it in the small schoolbag, then looked at Sun Shiqi and said:

"Girl, what makes you different from ordinary people is that your shadow spirit cannot be sealed by the shadow chain, but there is also a disadvantage that you can't protect your shadow spirit when you don't have shadow power, which is often seen among the ancestors of the shadow witch clan, but you are gifted with shadow protection. ”

"Shadows. I asked suspiciously, this word was said in Grandpa Tai's memory from Sun Shiqi just now.

"What is a shadow. I asked, and Sun Shiqi also looked at Grandpa.

"The Shadow is like the twin of the Shadow Spirit, it appears with the Shadow Spirit when the person is born, but it does not appear in the Shadow Body, you can think of it as the shadow of the Shadow. Grandpa said in a deep voice.

"The shadow of the shadow. "I think the world is amazing, there are shadows and shadows.

"Well, not everyone has it, this is something that only one person has in the legends of the ancestors. "Grandpa Tai said very mysteriously.

"Who?" asked Sun Shiqi and I as we looked at our grandfather.

Grandpa smiled and clapped his hands, and after a while, the second grandfather came out of the house and brought a tray of tea. I hurriedly got up to greet my second grandfather, took the tea and immediately brought it to the bamboo table in front of my grandfather.

Grandpa Tai picked up a cup of tea, took a sip of the floating tea with the lid of the teacup, took a sip, looked at the two of us and said:

"I can't tell you yet, because this has to do with the painting and the wooden sword, and you'll know about it later. ”

Sun Shiqi lowered her head, my heart was full of regrets, why can't I tell us that, what should we wait for, anyway, the wooden sword and painting are lost, what if you know.

"Then what if the man in black is here to control Sun Shiqi?" I suddenly thought of a question.

"Yes, grandpa, I'm afraid that the man in black will come again. Sun Shiqi also said a little anxiously.

"Don't worry, girl, that's why I asked you to wear that ring, if your shadow spirit can be awakened, why not let you wake up the shadow spirit, you must have a relationship with my family, I believe that the ancestors also allowed it. Grandpa said with a flash of inspiration in his eyes, as if he had seen through Sun Shiqi.

"Girl, if you are free, come to me tomorrow, I will see if I can help you awaken the shadow spirit, and then teach you a trick of shadow magic. Grandpa said to Sun Shiqi with a smile.

"Really. When Sun Shiqi heard this, her body immediately straightened, like a rewarded soldier, the worry on her face disappeared, and her beautiful eyes also sparkled.

I looked at Sun Shiqi and suddenly felt a little jealous in my heart, I am my great-grandson, why doesn't my grandfather help me, why don't I have any talent, it seems that God also likes beautiful women, I thought wildly.

"Grandpa, what kind of shadow art did you teach me? Sun Shiqi was a little excited.

Grandpa patted Sun Shiqi on the shoulder and said:

"I'm telling you tomorrow!"
