Chapter Seventy-One: The Corpse Hunter Picks Up Silver (Part II)
"Grandson, do you know where grandpa is taking you?"
"This is a forbidden place for gleaning. ”
In the year of scavenging, he brought the silver to the forbidden land. This place is extremely remote, not easy to find, and not heavily guarded.
Shiyin heard that there were many powerful people here, and those who went in didn't come out alive. From the time he was a child, his grandfather had repeatedly stressed to him the dangers of this place and that he should not come to these words without taking the liberty.
Shiyin also secretly observed, none of those who ventured into the forbidden place came out alive, and even snakes and rats entered, all disappeared into the hole.
Maybe there's a black hole here that can suck people in. That's what little silver thinks.
But I really didn't expect that one day my grandfather would bring him here.
"This is the ancestor of the family, a way of life left for us to pick up the family. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the inconspicuous cave in front of him: "Back then, the ancestor accidentally found these corpses, and after mastering their control methods, he used the astrolabe to lead the corpses into the cave. And then cut down their energy so that they could hide here. ”
Scavenging years while talking about memories that seem to be far away, drifting from afar.
The Shijia family has always been in a high position in the court with the astrolabe, and there are always some red-eyed people who design to frame them. One of the first is the fungus family.
One day, he stunned the emperor's concubine and sent him to the house of the descendants of the Shi family. In the early morning of the selected day, he led a large number of people to look for the imperial concubine and saw the imperial concubine sleeping with Shilie. Immediately bite the handle, and the pick-up will be smashed. At this time, it was a time of chaos, and the astrolabe of the family had a great effect, so the emperor had to endure this shame. Coupled with the secret usurpation of the fungus group, the emperor was even more resentful of the family.
The Ancestor of the Picker family happened to find many dead corpses that had entered the Peak City but had not yet completely become deacons, and most of them regretted their original decision. With many years of experience in managing the Peak City, the Ancestor froze the deacon power in their bodies, turning them into dead corpses no different from ordinary people, and brought them here. Waiting for generations to come.
The emperor heard that the ancestor had obtained the dead corpses of strong soldiers and horses, and they all had special abilities, so he temporarily suppressed the idea of cleaning up the house. After several investigations, the fungus sent people to investigate, and found that the spies who came in had no choice but to give up. The precarious position of the Shijia at that time can be stabilized to this day.
"Shiyin, you have to be careful of the fungus family, they are ambitious, and they have been the enemy of our Shijia for thousands of years. Don't trust the members of the royal family, the imperial power is unchangeable, in their eyes, we are all chess pieces that can be discarded at will. ”
Shiyin nodded, which is also the reason why Shijia has always remained neutral. It is precisely because you know that you can't be trusted, so you can't risk anyone.
"It's just Grandpa, why did you bring me here?"
Scavenger Nian patted Shiyin on the shoulder, and his eyes were full of appreciation: "Because I know that you are the only one who can control this group of dead corpses again." Remember, kid, we don't want power. It's about preserving yourself in these troubled times. ”
Grandpa's painstaking work, picking up silver naturally understands. The courtiers of the dynasty are ever-changing, but they are the only ones who remain the same. Even the fungus family, who had been fighting against them, had a killing a hundred years ago, and now they are only revived. And the pick-up family may have already become the eyes of everyone. All they can do is protect themselves.
Scavenging years pressed the button at the door, and the stone door opened.
looked at Shiyin's eyes flickering, and suppressed the distress in his eyes: "Child, you go, the rest of the way can only go by yourself." ”
After walking a short distance, he saw Shixiong standing at the door: "Father, how can you let Xiaoyin go through the level alone? ”
Looking at the worried Shixiong, the scavenger was a little helpless: "He's still young! he's thirteen." It's time to go through, too. If he can become the leader of the Nameless Corpse, you will also be gratified. ”
"Father, Xiaoyin, he has lost a lot for the sake of the family. ”
Yes, other children can be tired of being coquettish in their parents' arms, but picking up silver can only learn etiquette, read books, and practice. As a father, how can he not care about his children, every time he sees the lights that are still lit in the middle of the night in the silver room. It's hard to get out of the bitterness in my heart, and outsiders only say that they are talented and intelligent, but those talents are all exchanged for hard work by children.
"Father, I know you want Xiaoyin to completely bring down the fungus family. But Xiaoyin is still young, he has endured too many things that adults need to endure, and he is really not in a hurry to train the army?"
Scavenging Nian also had a bitter face: "I also hope that Xiaoyin will be happy, but the fungus family is getting more and more powerful." And the astrolabe secret technique is no longer as good as the status in the change of dynasties, and these two little highnesses no longer value the astrolabe technique. Reconciliation with the Shijia is only a consideration of our current value. ”
If one of the two highnesses ascends to the throne, the impact on the Shijia family will be huge. In such a situation, it is impossible not to move.
"Xiong'er, or we ......"
After Scavenging Nianhai finished speaking, Shixiong interrupted with a resolute face: "Father, don't say that again." Leave it to me, it's time for you to rest after a lifetime of hard work. ”
Who knows what the outside looks like?
Shiyin walked into the cave, and the torches in the cave instantly lit up. It seems that the ancestors knew that there would be descendants here.
Shiyin looked around, only to feel countless pairs of eyes looking at him in the dark. That's right... It's at the top of the cave.
The hand that picked up the silver shook and he took a deep breath. yes, wouldn't he be afraid? Just to pick up the house, does he have a choice?
After a while, trying to calm his thoughts, trying to calm him down: "Pick up the silver, you have to be calm. The future of the family is in your hands. ”
But his hands still couldn't stop shaking, and in the end he could only forcibly calm down with internal force. Before he picked up the sword, his trembling hands could kill the enemy in the future.
In fact, there is a secret that neither grandpa nor dad knows. His mother died when he was very young, and many words had to be taken to heart. Shiyin has been afraid of ghosts and spirits since he was a child. When he was a child, he would be afraid to hear about those gods and ghosts, but as the heir of the Shi family, he had to know this.
So there was a secret that no one knew, learning all kinds of myths and legends with my father during the day, and curling up in the quilt for a long time at night to fall asleep. Dad and Grandpa wouldn't believe it, and the heir, who was calm and impeccable in their eyes, was afraid of what he would have to take charge of every day in the future.
Instead of moving forward, he sat down against the wall. The feeling of powerlessness I felt when I was a child came back to my heart. Purple light flashed, and the giant gorilla Yuan appeared in front of Shiyin.
Seeing the giant gorille, Yuan Shiyin's mouth raised a smile: "You're here to accompany me, right?"
This is also considered his luck, the giant ape Yuan was originally transformed into a human body by an animal, a product of nature, not a grudge ghost. Therefore, his giant gorilla Yuan is more trustworthy than the average deacon.
The giant gorilla Yuan Xu felt the pain of his master, so he came uninvited.
Giant Gorilla Yuan sat down beside Shiyin, with a hint of crying, as if asking how Shiyin is doing?
Shiyin shook his head, he was in a bad state now. He didn't even dare to take a step forward: "It would be nice if Qingqing was here at this time." ”
Thinking of the girl charging in the desert, Shiyin unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.
But there are dead bodies here, and maybe Qingqing will be scared too. And he may not be able to protect her. Pick up the silver and give up on the idea.
Giant Gorilla Yuan's palm flashed with silver light, and he poked the silver with his shoulder, signaling him to use his energy to send her a message.
Shiyin looked thoughtfully at the energy in the giant ape Yuan's hand... To pass it on or not to pass it on?
