Chapter 283: Your Uncle's Secret

"Do you have any commands, young master?" Uncle Gui asked humbly, I found that his address to me had changed, from the previous girl to the young master, I inadvertently stood up straight, as if only in this way could I be more in line with the identity of the young master.

"It's okay, uncle, let's find a quiet place, I'll talk to you alone." I deliberately put the word "alone" very seriously, which stopped Yun Ximing and Dazhe, who wanted to follow along.

I walked with Uncle Gui to Uncle Gui's room, this is the boys' bedroom, I rarely walk in, when I came in today, I found that it was very clean, not like the general boys' dormitory should be.

"This room is cleaned up by your uncle on weekdays, right?" I asked.

"When you didn't come, of course I did it myself, and now that you are here, it's basically the old brother surnamed Lu who is cleaning up, and I'm just occasionally using my mouth." Uncle Gui said.

"Also, Uncle Lu is a military person, so he is naturally used to being organized and disciplined." I say.

"Young master, didn't you call me here just to ask me about the hygiene of my room?" Uncle Gui said with a smile.

"Of course not, but I don't think it's me who asks you, but you should say, uncle, don't you have anything to tell me?" I asked rhetorically.

"For example?" Uncle Gui asked.

"No, for example, Uncle Gui, you have to understand now that I am talking to you as the new head of the Kui family, as your young master, are you the same for your previous master? Such a concealment? I said.

"Naturally not, the old slave will answer any questions." Uncle Gui said.

"Another way to answer is that there is an answer to the question, which means that if I don't ask, you don't have anything to tell me, right?" My tone was a bit aggressive, but I really couldn't bear it any longer, because there were some things I had to figure out right now.

"Naturally not, if I think the young master should know something, I will also know everything. There is no end to the words. Uncle Gui said.

"Good. Since you say that, is there anything you think I should know about at this stage? I asked.

"So far, everything is going well. Less hosts don't need to have more concerns. Nothing special yet. Yes, you need to know. Uncle Gui said this very tactfully, but I already heard it, and his subtext was. Little yellow-haired girl, die of this heart, I have nothing to tell you.

"For example, how old are you?" I asked.

Maybe I didn't expect to ask such a question, Uncle Gui's eyes narrowed, but quickly returned to normal, "Age?" None of you young people are willing to mention your age, and an elderly person like me naturally doesn't want to be asked, so it's not unforgivable to say that you don't say your age. Uncle Gui said.

"Then dare to ask, you have a long life this year?" I asked.

"Young master, the old slave feels that there is no problem with his ability to work, so what does it matter how old he is?" Uncle Gui has always kept silent about the specific age number.

"Uncle Gui, if you are an eighty-year-old man, I can accept it, the old people in the world have a hard body, but you are not, your age can not be described as dozens of years old, but should be described as a hundred, right?" I asked.

Uncle Gui was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, "How do you know this?" Uncle Gui asked.

"What dynasty?" I asked.

"I can't remember the specific year for a long time, but what I remember very clearly is that it was the first year of Qianlong." Uncle Gui said lightly.

"The first year of Qianlong? So, you're really in your two hundred, almost three hundred? I asked, surprised.

"You...... Are you cheating on me? Uncle Gui's tone was interestingly angry, but not to the extent that he wanted to be angry with me.

"Sorry, I just checked." I said, "When I first came to this yard, Uncle Lu reminded me that the old well in your yard has been around for many years, and I didn't care about it at the time, because it was just a well. Later, I had a brief conversation with one of your men, and he said that their family had been sending you supplies for generations, and although I didn't ask him if the supplies he had sent were for you, I already had doubts in my heart. Knowing that I entered the Jiang family's mansion yesterday, I really confirmed my thoughts. ”

"The mansion, what's going on inside?" Uncle Gui asked.

"I met a senior inside, she talked to me very easily, although I didn't like her voice, in fact, when I went in yesterday, Ji Ziyang also quietly followed me, you should know who Ji Ziyang is." I say.

"That thousand-year-old ghost." Uncle Gui said.

"He told me that the senior, who seems to be someone's ghost puppet, is particularly weak because his master's life is dying, and when I was in danger before, Ji Ziyang was also like that, weak. And all I can think of, all the people in this courtyard, the only person who may have a ghost puppet, is you, plus your confusing age, which makes me even more convinced, this matter. I said.

"Then according to what you say, my ghost puppet is still there, and if I am really more than two hundred years old, how can I be a mortal to do it." Uncle Gui is still trying to find a way to justify.

"Yes, according to what you said, it really can't be true, but there is one thing you seem to have forgotten, and that is that one person can have more than one golem. I'm afraid that's the secret of your longevity. I said.

Uncle Gui narrowed his eyes, and then shook his head helplessly, "My young master, you really make me embarrassed, sometimes it's not a good thing for you to be too smart, you should understand the truth of being too smart." It's not good for you to know these things too early. Uncle Gui said.

"Good or bad, I will naturally judge for myself, and what I want to listen to now is the facts."

"Okay, I admit it, I was born in the first year of Qianlong, and now I am about two hundred and seventy years old, I have encountered various situations over the years, and I have tried various ways to die, but every time I die, I will not hurt my own life, just because I have a ghost puppet." Uncle Gui said.

"You are guarding such a convenient place as the Jiang family's mansion, naturally you will have as many ghosts as you want, the only thing I don't understand is, how did you do it? Are you also yin and yang? I asked.

"Of course not." Uncle Gui simply denied it.

"Then what are you...... How to ......"

"To admit a ghost puppet, you need the onmyoji to see the various aspects of the ghost golem, but have you ever thought that in this case, it is necessary for the onmyoji and the ghost puppet to reach a consensus and complete it together, so in this way, only the onmyoji can see the ghost puppet, right? Then the two sides exchange blood and come to a contract, right? Uncle Gui asked.

"That's right." I replied, "I remembered, and I dripped" my own blood on the center of Thistle's brow.

"But the process is reversible." Uncle Gui said.

"Reversible, how reversible?" I asked.

"For example, if I prick my finger one day and a drop of blood falls right on the center of a ghost's eyebrow, do you think it's possible for me to have my own ghost?" Uncle Gui said.

"But it's just a coincidence." I say.

"Of course it can't be a coincidence, what if this is something that this ghost golem discussed with me before he became a ghost?" Uncle Gui said.

"Discuss it in advance?"

"Yes, when a person is about to die, he agrees on a time and place, and then at the specified time, I drop a drop of blood in the designated place, and that's it. The master can feel his own ghost puppet, so, even though I don't have yin and yang arts, I can also have my ghost puppet. I'll never see him, but I'll know she'll always be there. Uncle Gui said.

"But then you only have a ghost puppet, how can you ......?"

"The rest of the golems were found for me by this golem, and at that time of the year, I would drop a drop of blood in a fixed place to ensure that I had a new golem, but it was not a long-term solution." Uncle Gui said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"To use this method, you have to accept the fact that your body has become weak, in fact, my current body is seriously overdrawn, and I have not successfully signed my own ghost for many years, because my vitality is not enough to control the ghosts of normal people. You should understand this, just like your grandmother can't become the master of that thousand-year-old ghost, in life, natural ability, the strength of yin and yang can affect the success or failure of us to become the master of the ghost puppet. So after all I calculated, I should only have one ghost golem left, and my life is coming to an end. I can't wait for you to appear, although I already know that you are the only family member, but I still can't send a letter to invite you when it is necessary. Uncle Gui said.

"What do you mean when it's not necessary?"

"It's when the time comes."

"When? When the seal of this Jiang family's mansion is completely unsealed. Aren't you already planning to free all the ghosts? You must not be able to do it now, but five days later, it will be the New Year, and on that day, you can unlock all the seals of the Jiang family's mansion, and the reason why you have to rush on that day is also because that day is the day when the disaster occurred. You don't have to ask now, you'll know all the answers then. Uncle Gui said.

"Well, I'll believe you again." I said, "Uncle, I have one last question. ”

"Young master, please ask, the old slave knows everything." Uncle Gui said.

"That senior, the black, thin, middle-aged woman with a greasy voice, that is, your ghost puppet, who is she?" I asked.

Uncle Gui paused for a moment, then smiled slightly, did not speak, turned around and forgot to walk outside the door, and when he walked to the door, he stopped, turned around and said, "Old man." (To be continued.) )
