It was already half past eleven o'clock in the evening when he returned to his hometown, and Gao Qing, who had been in a car for more than ten hours, couldn't care about his physical fatigue at this time, and ran home quickly.

The lights at home were still on, and there seemed to be a lot of people in the house, Gao Qing quickened his pace and came to the lobby of the house, where relatives and neighbors were gathered and seemed to be discussing something.

Seeing Gao Qing suddenly appearing at the door, everyone's eyes brushed together, and when they saw Gao Qing coming back, the second aunt ran crying, "Xiaoqing, go and see your father for the last time." As he spoke, he took Gao Qing's hand and walked to the back room.

There were only two people in the back room, the mother next to the bed and the father on the bed, when they saw the door open, the mother turned her head and saw that it was Gao Qing, and immediately cried, Gao Qing hugged her mother, and the corners of her eyes were red.

"What the hell is going on? Hasn't Dad's health always been good? Gao Qing patted his mother's back and asked.

"Woo、、、、、"

Gao Qing didn't get an answer from his mother, looking at his father on the bed, Gao Qing's tears didn't feel like falling on their own, dry hands, sallow face, forty-year-old Ren looked like a sixty-year-old man.

It seemed that the movement in the room was too loud, and the old man on the bed slowly opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes saw Gao Qing showing a smile.

"I'm finally waiting for you to come back." The old man on the bed raised his left hand with difficulty, and Gao Qing hurriedly greeted him, "Dad、、、、。 ”

"Don't cry, it's predestined."

Gao Qing hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and clenched his father's dry and rough hands, which felt very warm.

"Xiaolian, you go out first, I have something to say to Xiaoqing." Father said to his mother, who was leaning against the door. The mother understood that her husband wanted to say a final goodbye to her son, and left the back room in tears.

"Dad, you have a good rest and don't talk too much." Gao Qing looked nervously at his father on the bed.

"Silly boy, Dad's own body knows by himself, I can't do it." Father said to Gao Qing with a smile.

"No, you haven't hugged your grandson yet, I'll bring my girlfriend back for the New Year, you have to check for me." Saying that, the tears flowed down again, looking at Gao Qing's tears, the old man also shed tears that were not clear.

"Dad wants to see you get married and give birth to a big fat boy in this life, but unfortunately, Dad can't see it." The old man said gloomily.

"No, Dad, you'll be able to see it." Gao Qing shook his head desperately.

"Dad actually died last night." The old man on the bed said quietly.

Gao Qing's body was shocked, his father died last night? And now? Gao Qing stood up and stepped back, looking at his father lying on the bed. And his father also looked at him like this, Gao Qing's psychology was very contradictory at this time, on one side was his father, and the fear of the other body was spontaneously born in his heart.

"Child, you don't have to be afraid, I should have left last night, but I can't wait for you to come, I'm not reconciled." The old man looked at Gao Qing with a sick look. Gao Qing knew that it was just his father's ghost.

Gao Qing didn't say a word, not that he didn't say it, but he didn't know what to say? Why did my father have to wait for him to return? The king of Hades wants people to die for the third watch, who dares to keep people until the fifth watch?

The old man on the bed seemed to notice Gao Qing's doubts, and sighed: "Actually, you are not my son, you were picked up by me on the side of the road." ”

Gao Qing's brain was really pale at this time, picked it up? Did you pick it up yourself? Family members who have lived together for more than 20 years but have no relationship? I used to always say that I seemed to have picked it up, and my father didn't love it, but what I didn't expect was that I really picked it up. No one can stand this kind of thing.

"And why are you waiting for me to come back?" Gao Qing asked excitedly, the old man saw Gao Qing's excitement at this time, and a smile appeared on his face, I don't know if it was relief or what.

"Your background." After the old man finished speaking, he coughed violently, Gao Qing looked at the old man on the bed suspiciously, how could ghosts cough too? "It's really amazing, just mentioning it, it's been attacked so badly."

"What backlash?" Gao Qing asked puzzled.

"Your clan is not allowed to exist by heaven, and your existence has broken the rules of heaven." After the old man finished speaking, he lay weakly on the bed, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot of backlash.

"What clan?" Gao Qing is still puzzled, why is it that it is intolerable for God to live by himself, God does not allow it, and he has not done anything to hurt God and reason? Gao Qing thought to himself.

"Human Clan!" After the old man finished speaking, he coughed violently, as if he would lose his breath at any time, of course, the current old man was just forcibly staying in the world.

Human Clan? Gao Qing repeated these three words, it was not the first time he had heard it, and when he went to Fukang Road not long ago, the middle-aged driver also said that he was a human clan, what kind of race is this? Why does Heaven not allow it to exist?

"Twenty years ago, I passed by a place called Fu Kang Road and found you abandoned in a cemetery at the entrance of the village, it was freezing cold, but you were not wearing a single piece of clothing." The old man fell into the memories of twenty years ago, telling Gao Qing's confusing life experience. "At that time, all the people in the village were missing, and it was desolate, except for one woman, with wounds on her body, I think it should be your biological mother, she handed you over to me, her blood-red eyes revealed a bloodthirsty fierce light, but when she saw you in her arms, she cried."

"Please, take the child away, the human clan can't just perish like this!" The middle-aged woman pleaded.

"What happened?" The young man asked.

"Hurry up, or you won't be able to go!" The middle-aged woman looked back anxiously, urging the young man opposite to leave quickly.

"What happened to my mother?" Gao Qing asked anxiously, it turned out that his life experience was so bumpy, hearing the words of his adoptive father on the bed, the heart-rending pain in Gao Qing's heart, what happened, Gao Qing looked at the old man on the bed anxiously.

The old man's cloudy eyes burst out with a glimmer of essence, "Approval!" ”

Approval? Gao Qing looked at the old man puzzled, the old man seemed to know Gao Qing's doubts, don't say it was Gao Qing, even he was puzzled back then, is human life really counted?

"Your mother gave me my life's life." The old man said excitedly. "It's unbelievable that there is such a miraculous method of approving life in the world."

"What happened?" Gao Qing asked with red eyes.

"Your mother calculated when I would die, and your mother gave me all the things that happened in my life. The price is to raise you as an adult and tell you the secrets of your origins. I was supposed to leave last night, but you didn't show up, and my soul was sealed in this body, and I can't be reborn forever. There was a hint of reluctance in the old man's eyes. Looking at the adopted son in front of him, the corners of the old man's eyes were slightly red.

"You're not leaving just to tell me about your background?" Gao Qing felt that things were not so simple, if so, then he could say it directly on the phone, and he could also let his adoptive mother tell him that there was no need to say it himself.

The old man looked at Gao Qing's eyes full of doubts, and nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, he was not an ordinary child.

"Actually, I want you to come back. The main thing is to give you one thing! The old man beckoned to Gao Qing beside the bed and motioned for him to come to him. Gao Qing walked over without hesitation, after all, they are father and son who have been together for more than 20 years, and it is false to say that there is no emotion.

The old man took out a rectangular object from under the pillow, the outside was wrapped in a yellow cloth, the cloth had faded, it looked like it had been some years, and the old man handed over the things in his hand to Gao Qing's hand.

Gao Qing lifted the yellow cloth and came into view of a mahogany box, the appearance of which was carved with a picture of gods and demons dancing, and the carving was very exquisite. Gao Qing was about to open the box immediately, but no matter how hard he tried, the box just didn't move, and there was no sign of opening, Gao Qing looked at the old man, and the old man sighed helplessly: "I need a key, but the key is not here." ”

"Can you force it open?" Gao Qing asked.

"Don't, if you force it open, the contents will be destroyed!" The old man sternly admonished, "This box is the proud work of the first wise man of Tianmen back then, and it is not allowed to be opened without a key in the world." ”

"What's in there?" Gao Qing looked at the box in his hand, it was not very big, but it was very heavy.

"Thunder Bird Diagram!" After the old man said tremblingly, seven thunderstorms suddenly sounded in the sky, Gao Qing palpitated, why did he thunder for no reason, just when Gao Qing was about to continue to ask what was the 'Thunder Flying Bird Map', he found that the old man on the bed did not have any movement, and he had already passed away from the world.

Looking at the wooden box in his hand, he was at a loss, knelt down and kowtowed to the old man on the bed and walked out of the door.
