Chapter 367: Masquerade
Chapter 367 Masquerade
Our mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, the friends around us were all red-eyed, and Sister Wang Na was even more crying and couldn't bear it, she couldn't bear it, and said, I'll make you supper, and then ran to the kitchen. Uncle Lu followed behind him.
"Okay, okay, Jingyue, now Yin Yin has remembered everything, you will stay together for a long time in the future, don't be sad in front of so many juniors, what are you like." Grandma said.
"Yes." My mother replied humbly, wiped her tears, and took my hand and stood aside.
"Kui is in charge, you really took great pains for your children." Uncle Gui, who had not spoken, actually opened his mouth at this time, and it seemed that he was quite moved when he saw that his eyes were red. "I hope that the result of the trial will be as we wish, and we will not live up to your expectations for so long." Grandma nodded approvingly.
"Granny Kui, seeing you and Uncle Gui talking like this, it seems that they have known each other for a long time." Yun Ximing asked.
"Of course, the one who is in charge of the Kui family is the big boss of the Kui family now, and we naturally know that the old house of the Jiang family was originally the ancestral property of the Kui family and the Jiang family, and I am just a janitor. Kui Yunyun is right, I am just a subordinate of the Jiang family, a subordinate who has lived for a long time. Uncle Gui said.
"Uncle Gui, we have never treated you like this, no matter what you say, you are our elders." I said respectfully.
"That's natural, otherwise I wouldn't like you so much. But it's useless to say this, the four of you still need to accept the test of being the heirs of Jiang Kui's two families. Once you pass the trial, you have the right to know all the secrets of the Kui family. Or, only if you pass the test and become a family member, can you have the ability to spy on the secrets of the entire Jiang Kui family. The secrets of the Jiang family and the Kui family are not something that anyone can snoop on if they want to. Uncle Gui said.
"Four? Aren't they two? Yun Ning asked, "Aren't there only two people, Yin Yin and Kui Yunyun?" ”
"Naturally not, the heir of the Kui clan, the first requirement is a person with yin and yang arts. This is the first and only one. Except for Kui Yin Yin. Kui Yunyun. That girl, Jiang Bingbing, she is also a person with yin-yang arts, so she is naturally qualified to compete for the position of heir. Uncle Gui said.
"What?! You mean Jiang Bingbing also has yin and yang techniques. Also an onmyoji? Dazhe asked in surprise. Why didn't I see it?! ”
"Fatty. You think you are a god, if you don't know beforehand, where can you see that Yin Yin is an onmyoji. But that Jiang Bingbing still has traces to follow. The color of one of her eyes seems unusual. Yun Ximing said.
"That's right, that kid is also an onmyoji, but her yin and yang eyes are opened the day after tomorrow." Grandma said.
"The day after tomorrow? Why can this be turned on the day after tomorrow? If this can be turned on the day after tomorrow, then I can try it too. Dazhe quipped.
"Of course you can, but this also varies from person to person, first of all, one of the parents must be an onmyoji, with the blood of the onmyoji on his body, and he can naturally turn it on, as if some kind of virus is hidden in your body, but it has been latent and has not had a seizure, we need to activate them artificially. In addition, if you want to open the yin and yang eyes, you must first discard your own eyes, that is, poke blind. Then, after opening the Yin-Yang Technique, this eye can only see the things of the other world. Grandma said.
"So, Xiao Jiang's eye is blind?" Yun Ximing asked.
"Strictly speaking, you are blind in this world, but transparent in another." Grandma said, "Not only that, but this process is also very painful, to apply a special potion to the eyes for a hundred consecutive days, after the application of that potion, although it will not leave a scar, but there will be a stinging sensation, as if it was burned by concentrated sulfuric acid, that kind of pain is not very much people can imagine, not to mention that after success, all the strange phenomena from the other world that they see, if they are still light-minded and timid, I am afraid they will be scared to death immediately." Grandma looked at Dazhe, "How is it, fat man, do you still want to become an onmyoji now?" Grandma asked.
"No, no, I have good eyes now, not to mention that my parents don't have any onmyoji, so I don't meet the conditions."
"I see, when you think of the scenery of another world, you are already ......," Yun Xian said with a smile.
"Let's not talk about this for now, don't you say, there are four people?" Yun Ning asked, "What about the other one?" ”
"It's me." Grandma said calmly.
"Wait a minute, I have a question that I haven't figured out, I heard your aunt say, don't the heirs of your Kui family look the same for generations, why do you look different from Xiao Jiang and Granny Kui, and you can also be the heir?" Dazhe said.
"That child is a yin and yang eye that was only opened the day after tomorrow, so naturally there is no need to meet this condition, but that child does look very similar to yin and yin, and naturally it is also the blood of our Kui family, as for me, now is the time." Grandma stood up slowly, her right hand crossed her cheek, and pulled off a mask, which can only be seen on TV, grandma's face suddenly changed, although old, but it looks exactly like me.
"Oh my God, this is amazing, are all of your family matryoshka dolls?" Dazhe said without seriousness.
"Granny Kui, this ...... This is...... What's going on? Yun Ximing asked in surprise, in fact, when I first knew, I was also very surprised, although my erased memories were recovering little by little, and my grandmother's appearance was becoming clearer and clearer in my mind, but there were still some vagueness. At this time, what I value more is the mask in my grandmother's hand.
"I've always carried this mask for more than ten years. Now once you don't have this layer of window paper, you can't get used to it. "Grandma said, I didn't answer Grandma's words for the first time, this is not what a filial child should do, I looked at the mask in her hand, and was in a daze for a while, although this mask has been soft and collapsed to see why, but I still feel extremely familiar, two lines of tears unconsciously flowed down. Everyone felt very strange when they saw me like this, and no one dared to speak, and for a while, there was silence all around.
"Grandma, who is this person?" I pointed to the mask, maybe I didn't expect me to ask this, and my grandmother was also stunned for a moment.
"This is, a friend of mine, I, borrowed it." Grandma said vaguely.
"Just ask, grandma, borrowing such a thing as a face, so how is that person now?" I asked.
"It's not something you should know." Grandma's face suddenly became very ugly, even if I secretly read her forbidden books before, she didn't seem to be so serious and angry.
"Grandma, I just ask, who is she?" I desperately want to know the answer, but I have a prayer that it is not that person, I don't want to know that grandma actually did something like that to her, "Grandma, you tell me, this person, is ...... Feng's mother? I asked.
Grandma didn't answer, but finally nodded helplessly.
"Grandma, why? Why is that? Who are you? You put your face on Feng's mother, but I can't tell who you are. "I said, this is the first time in my life to talk to my grandmother like this, although it is rude, but I have no choice.
"That's right, she's your Feng mother, my cousin to be exact." Grandma said.
"Cousin?" I asked in surprise.
"That's right, the relationship between her and me is just like that between you and Jiang Bingbing, except that she worked for the Kuomintang in the war years, was an agent, and her pseudonym was Feng, and she never changed it since. She has been dodging all her life, evading the pursuit of hostile forces, hiding from the strangulation of the Japanese, and even hiding from her lover, because the person she loves is a Communist Party. Later, everything was finally settled, and she returned to her home, at that time, she was unmarried and lonely all her life, but she was also full of money. Our Jiang family and Kui family have always had business minds, and soon she became my right-hand man in running the family business at home. But it didn't last long, and shortly after you were born, her illness began to attack, and it was then that I learned that she had been injured by a Japanese poison gas bomb, leaving serious sequelae. Her body began to slowly fester, because the toxins had been dormant in her body for too long, and once they attacked, they would be out of control. Grandma closed her eyes in pain as if she remembered some bad memories.
"Soon after your accident, she knew that she was not long dead, and she came to me and asked me to fulfill her last wish. She was born with a love of beauty, especially when she was alive, she liked to dance very much, she was a famous courtesan, and she didn't want her face to be full of holes after she died. It was at that time that she knew that I was looking around for a mask that would work for me. There is a long time and a short period of masquerading. Those that are artificially crafted are kept for a short period of time and are unnatural. As for the masquerade made of human skin, as long as it is profitable to use it, it is possible to preserve it permanently. The advantage of using human skin is that it attaches to the face of the person and adheres to it according to the appearance of the skeleton of the person to which it is attached. That's why I took your mother's face, but you couldn't see her at all. Grandma said.
"So what? You ...... "I can't ask that."
"She begged me at the end, she said she wanted to do something for the Kui family at the end, she said you are a good boy, she didn't want you to have anything to do, she said she wanted to be my ghost puppet and always stay in the Jiang family. I fulfilled all her wishes. Grandma said.
"But you ......"
"That's right, I cut her face." Grandma said, "I'm the hand of my own hand." (To be continued.) )
