Chapter 401: Yurou
Chapter 401: Yu Rou
I took the flashlight from my uncle's hand, and the flashlight was also improved, and the bulb could only emit a dim light, as if everything in this ancestral tomb was afraid of light. I walked forward with my flashlight, and I had a hunch that I had come to the end of this ancestral grave. There was a point of light, not a point of light like a talisman, and this point of light was scattered around it, and it looked like a jellyfish exposed to the air.
There was a figure in the halo, it was a woman, wearing a single green Luo Qun, dressed as an ancient, just looking at the back, I felt that it must be a beauty. I walked over slowly, politely with my luggage, and greeted respectfully.
"Seniors, juniors are yin and yin, and they are polite."
"Hehe, do modern people say such things? It's a pity that I'm also a modern person, but I'm a little outdated. The man's voice was not pretty, it sounded like a strange voice in her throat, and she turned slowly, and the face appeared in front of me, which surprised me.
In the dim light of the flashlight, it was a face dressed as an ancient man who looked exactly like me. These days, seeing my aunt and grandmother, and seeing this person again, I have the illusion that everyone in the world is a person with the same face as me. It's just that this person's face looks very pale for some reason, as if it were a mask painted on his face. The man and I stared at each other, and we froze in awkward place, and I noticed that her facial expression began to distort and slowly become fragmented.
"You ......" I was taken aback. This kind of scene is definitely not the most terrifying scene I have seen, I have experienced so much, and I have seen even the most terrifying scenes, this is such a suddenness, it is really unexpected. But the person seemed to be fine, her face became fragmented, but another face emerged, this face is much more familiar to me when I look at it, that is the senior who talked to me in the Jiang family's mansion before, she is also your uncle's ghost puppet. Although this face is dark-skinned. It doesn't look pretty. At most, he is an ordinary person, but this face is a real human face, not the one that was broken just now.
"Sure enough, I still can't hold it anymore." The senior said with a sigh.
"Senior, it's you. But why did you dress up like that? I asked.
"You saw the embarrassment. I'm so sorry. Sure enough, in my life, there is no way to be a beauty. The senior said.
"Senior, why are you here?" I looked around. Sure enough, this is the end of the entire mountain grotto, surrounded by mountain cliffs, and at the bottom of the mountain, I saw a coffin, crystal clear, like a crystal coffin. I looked at the senior in front of me again, and a strange idea came to me. All the tombs in this ancestral tomb are well-dressed mounds, there are no corpses, only some scattered recovered talismans, but there is a coffin here, can it be said that ......
"You don't have to guess, that coffin is mine, you also see what I look like now, if I can't stay in that crystal coffin from time to time, even if there is gold in this house, it won't be able to support my figure." I also noticed when I heard her say this, she was really very weak, her soul was almost transparent, and the beam of light could pass through her when it passed, even when Ji Ziyang was the weakest, it was not like this, so it can be seen that what she said is true.
"Senior, why did you become like this? And why are you here? I asked.
"You don't need to know how I became like this, Agui's life is coming to an end, I'm his ghost puppet, how good can I be? As for why I'm here, I'm waiting for you. Don't you have any doubts in your heart? This is the ancestral tomb of your Kui family, even if it was a war between the Ji family and the Qin State back then, countless people died in the Ji family, and those people had no bones, so what happened later? Where did the later Jiang family and the Kui family go? Why don't they have graves either? The senior said.
"This ......" I didn't think about it just now, because I was more surprised by so many life talismans, and now I really started to ask this question, since the Qin State, after so many years, the Ji family changed their name and surname to Kui and Jiang, but what about their family? What about their family members? Where are they buried when they die? Could it be cremation?
"Of course they weren't cremated, they were just buried somewhere else, or sent somewhere else, you may not know, since the vitality of the Ji clan was greatly injured, the original mana of the Ji clan has also been weakened correspondingly, so since then, the people of the Jiang family have all given up their mana, even so, it is still impossible to make all the people of the Kui clan have Yin Yang and the Pupil of Heaven, and in the end they have to use their bodies as an eternal transmission of spells, this spell has no effect, Its function is only to identify heirs. The person who was chosen as the heir was the pupil of the sky, and he was the inheritor of all the mana of the Hi clan. But such an inheritor cannot guarantee absoluteness, once the heir dies unexpectedly, then the Hi clan will have no successor, so they made such a spell. There can only be one person as the heir of the Kui clan, and this person's appearance will never change, once this person dies, then the spirit will be dispersed and will be reincarnated into the next generation. The senior explained.
"But I don't understand my predecessors, isn't reincarnation a free destiny? Why could the ancestors of our clan set such spells? I asked.
"Destiny is determined by heaven, but what about heaven? Heaven restricts people, who will restrain heaven? If there's someone you can never beat, then that person can dominate you, but what if another person can easily defeat him? There are no absolutes in everything in the world, and what you think of as God is only on a level beyond your comprehension. "When my predecessors said this, I remembered what my grandmother told me about ants when she trained me, ants in the two-dimensional world, I don't know that the world is still tall and short, we humans are too powerful compared to them, so we may be gods in the eyes of ants, but in front of our gods, we are just ants.
"Senior, I see."
"Don't call me senior, I'm ......," she said, and suddenly knelt down, the kind of real kneeling on the ground. The new heir of the Kui family is on top, and Jiang Yurou, the sinner of the Jiang family, asks you for your guilt. ”
"Jiang Yurou?" It turned out that her name was this, "The rain and smoke have been ruined in her life, and King Kong is still soft around her fingers." ”
"I am the second lady of the Jiang family, my name is Jiang Yurou."
"Ever?" I asked.
"That's right, once, a long time ago, when I was born, it was still Qianlong, I didn't expect the world to change so quickly, and I actually lived in this world for so long, which I didn't dare to think about before. Of course, if it were modern, I would probably never do such a stupid thing. It's like another member of your Kui family, obviously he has learned so many forbidden books, but he is still not satisfied, and finally before he dies, not a single forbidden book can come in handy. ”
"Senior Yurou, you just said you were waiting for me? Is there any special reason why your uncle brought me here again? I asked.
"Indeed, I heard that your Heavenly Pupil has been perfected, just after your aunt died, I haven't left here since, God has mercy, I am a person who once couldn't bear to be lonely, I am waiting for you here, just so that in the end, I can personally want you to explain everything, both to help the Kui family and to redeem myself." Jiang Yurou said and led me to the side of the coffin.
"See, there." Jiang Yurou pointed to the stone wall not far away, and sure enough, there was a vague-looking door. "There is a secret door there, it is said that only the heirs of the Kui clan can enter it, I hope that after I have explained all the ins and outs to you, you can go to the back of the door of that door and take out a very important piece of Dongzi belonging to our Kui clan.
"You're asking me to steal?" I asked.
"It's not stealing, because after you inherited the armor, it should have been yours." Jiang Yurou said.
"Well, trust you, what do you want me to do?" I asked.
"No, no, no, it's not what I want you to do, but you listen to what I say, and then decide what you're going to do." Jiang Yurou said.
"Okay, I see, so what does Senior Yurou want to tell me?" I asked.
"The truth, the truth that happened here a hundred years ago. I don't want to hide the truth that I almost destroyed anymore, and in the past hundred years, I have finally realized a problem, the most difficult thing for a person is to keep a secret. How many secrets, you have worked hard to guard, only to find out in the end that no one cares at all, and everything you do is just stupid self-deception. And I am such a self-deceptive person, I have done so many things, only to find out in the end, I have found nothing, and I have nothing. Jiang Yurou's voice sounded sad.
"Senior, don't say that, now you can say it, I'm here to listen." I say.
"It's a long story, it's been a long time since anyone has heard me talk about it, and I never say my own fault, it's because there are some mistakes, and it's just a little trivial thing, and it's harmless. But there are some things, not to mention doing, even thinking about it can be hurtful. And I used to be an ignorant person who didn't know the height of the sky, and now I have ended up like this, no one complains, I just want to do my best to make up for it. Jiang Yurou said.
"What did you do, senior?" I asked.
"Actually, a hundred years ago, I was the one who destroyed the Jiang Kui family and put the Jiang family's mansion in such a situation." (To be continued.) )
