Chapter 164: A Voice in My Ears
The candle on the table was about to burn out, and the old man took out another one and lit it, telling the rest of the story. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Daoist Mu Xin told everyone that he came here to find someone, but what is very strange is that he doesn't even know the name of the person he is looking for, but just describes a rough idea, saying that he is wearing a black suit, with a tall figure and few words. Trying to find someone through such a description is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is no direction for it, and there is almost no possibility of finding it. β
"The villagers all hope to help, but in the face of such a description, everyone said that there is no way, at that time I vaguely felt that the person Mu Xin Dao Chang was looking for was a mysterious person I had seen when I was a child, this person was of unknown origin, and he was dressed in black all day and rarely spoke, which was very consistent with the description. I spoke my thoughts on the spot, and everyone suddenly realized that the person your master was looking for was very similar to that mysterious person. β
"When Daoist Mu Xin heard that the mysterious man had come to the village decades ago, he was not surprised at all, but he was very interested in his appearance, and I was about to tell your master that I saw the face of that person, when suddenly a voice sounded in my ears, warning me not to reveal what I saw back then, and out of fear, I swallowed back the words stuck in my throat."
Feng Jin asked, "Then why did my master keep watch all night knowing that this person was not in the village?" I remember that Master said that he was waiting for someone, and I listened to him, as if he knew that the person he was looking for was hiding in this village, because his tone was very firm, and I remember this clearly. β
The old man replied: "I don't know much about this, Mu Xin Dao Chang heard that the person has not shown up for decades, and his expression was a little regretful, I can feel that the mysterious person and he should be familiar with the old man, but from time to time there are warning voices in my ears, I can't say it." β
The voice...... What does it look like? Feng Jin asked.
"The voice is flat, without a hint of tone in it, but it sounds majestic, which is why I dare not resist it."
"Judging by the voice, do you think it's the accent of that mysterious person?" Feng Jin asked again.
"It's hard to say, it's a little like that, but the mysterious man hasn't said a few words from the beginning, and I can't be sure if it's his or not."
"And when did that voice go away?"
"It hasn't happened since that time, I just told you about the scene I saw back then, it didn't appear either, I don't think it will ring in my ears anymore, some things are almost over now, the things that have plagued me all my life are finally gone, and I feel like I've regained my freedom." The old man's expression was very comfortable, and indeed as he said, the expression on his face looked very relaxed.
Feng Jin felt that this voice should be the mysterious person, but he couldn't understand why this voice had been with the old man for decades, in order to keep him tight-lipped about the scene he saw back then. So what is the origin of this mysterious person, he cares so much about others seeing his face, and he doesn't see it clearly at all, and he doesn't let go of others for decades.
"My master stayed here all night without waiting for the man, and then he left the village, and he never came down the mountain since. Regarding the person my master is waiting for, you don't have any other missing information from here? Feng Jin asked. He felt that after such a long time, perhaps some key information had been forgotten.
But the old man's answer made him a little disappointed, the old man thought for a long time and insisted that he didn't miss any information, he remembered every word that Mu Xin Dao Chang said very clearly, the description of the person he was waiting for was very vague, and the basic information was only what he had just said.
Feng Jin thought of all kinds of strange things in Sandaoxing Village tonight, and asked: "I don't know if something happened in the village today, we didn't see a single person when we came in just now, and we didn't find a house with lights on after walking along the street for half a day, why did everyone in the village sleep so early today?" β
The old man said in horror: "You are really young and ignorant, today is the forbidden day of Sandaoxing Village, everyone is not allowed to go out after the sun goes down, and the house is not allowed to light the lamp. It's too coincidental that you entered the village from outside, if I hadn't sensed the spiritual power fluctuations of something on your body, I would never have saved you! β
"This ...... We really don't know that today is a taboo day in Sandaoxing Village, and we don't know this day...... What's in it? Feng Jin asked.
The old man sighed and said: "This is a long story, although the village of Sandaoxing Village is not big, it has a history of thousands of years, and a series of rules have been derived. The day of the taboo has been handed down from ancient times and has become the most valued day in the village, because on this day you can't make a fire to cook, you can't go out after dark, you can't light the lights at night, you can't talk loudly, in short, today is the day with the most rules for everyone. It is rumored that in ancient times, there were monsters in the village, everyone could not avoid them and could only hide at home, whoever turned on the lights would pick up their houses, and the monsters finally left after a few days and nights, and the survivors passed down this custom to warn future generations. β
Feng Jin didn't expect that today was really unlucky, just in time for such a day, fortunately with this kind old man to help open the door, otherwise I really don't know what would happen if I wandered outside.
However, he remembered that the old man had said something just now, saying that he had sensed the fluctuation of spiritual power of something, what was going on?
Feng Jin threw out his question, and the old man replied: "Sandaoxing Village is a trading market, and what is sold is not an ordinary goods, many of them are magic weapons with spiritual power, so every household will have something to detect the strength of spiritual power, just now I saw the green jade on the table at home glowing with fluorescent, this kind of spiritual power fluctuation means that there are magic weapons with spiritual power nearby, but today's day is very special, at this time the people who are still wandering outside must be outsiders who do not know, so I opened the door to help people, I didn't expect you to be the descendant of Mu Xin Dao Chang, it's really fate. β
What the old man said could sense the strength of spiritual power, Feng Jin expressed his curiosity, and euphemistically said his thoughts, hoping to see what kind of divine thing it was.
Luo Hua also nodded on the side, the meaning was also very obvious, and the eager little eyes were also telling everyone that he had also seen such a magical thing, and he always felt that spiritual power was pure nonsense, but he didn't expect that there was really such a legendary power in the world, and he couldn't help but be very curious.
"Actually, it's nothing, this thing is not a rare treasure in Sandaoxing Village, like you probably haven't heard of it. Wait a minute, I'll go get it for you now. β
After that, the old man got up and entered a room next to him, and only Feng Jin and Luo Hua were left within the range that the candlelight could reach, and Obsidian squatted at Feng Jin's feet, very well-behaved.
The old man didn't notice anything unusual about Obsidian, just thought it was a very ordinary black cat, so he didn't ask Feng Jin where it came from. Feng Jin thinks this is also very good, eliminating many explanations, which also proves that obsidian does have a set of skills to hide his identity, because he feels that obsidian is a little different from ordinary monsters, and some monsters are surrounded by demonic energy as soon as they appear, for fear that others will not know that it is a monster, but obsidian is very different, at least it can disguise itself as an ordinary black cat.
It didn't take long for the old man to walk out with an object in both hands, and slowly entered the range of the candlelight, Feng Jin and Luo Hua gradually saw the things in his hand clearly, and couldn't help but "ah-" sound, and their hearts were very shocked.
Feng Jin never thought that he would be able to see PokΓ©mon that were only recorded in ancient books but had never been seen with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really worth the trip. (To be continued.) )
