Chapter 31: Unpredictable, who is Master
Hearing that Xu Zixiong's uncle Xu Dawei was going to blame the old way, not only Xu Zixiong suddenly came to the spirit, but even Zhang Xiaowen and Lin Ru on the side were also full of curiosity.
Through Xu Dawei's narration, Xu Zixiong finally knew why he lived in Wuling Mountain in this life, it turned out that Xu Zixiong's father died after his thirtieth birthday, and Xu Dawei, who was only thirteen years old, was still a child, but he had to bear the heavy responsibility of supporting Xu Zixiong, but fortunately, Xu Zixiong's father left him this hotel, and he was proficient in the art of Zhouyi gossip, and his life went back.
Probably a month after the death of Xu Zixiong's father, Xu Dawei saw that there were no guests in the hotel, so he went to the street to set up a stall to predict good fortune and misfortune for people.
Just when Xu Dawei sent off the last guest and planned to go home to cook for five-year-old Xu Zixiong, an old Taoist priest suddenly appeared in front of him.
How do you know that after listening to Xu Dawei's words, the old Taoist priest smiled disdainfully, and said that Xu Dawei couldn't even break the curse of his own family, so why did he come out to predict good fortune and misfortune for others, and it was better to go home as soon as possible and close the door.
At that time, hearing the sarcasm of the strange old Taoist, Xu Dawei had an angry expression for a moment, but after thinking about it, he had never seen this old Taoist priest, and his family was cursed, except for himself, no one in the world knew, why did this old Taoist priest say it in one mouthful?
Thinking of this, Xu Dawei, who was young but well-informed, quickly knelt down in front of the strange old man and asked him how to crack the witchcraft, at that time the strange old man shook his head without thinking about it, saying that they could break the curse of the Xu family, but they couldn't break it, because they couldn't meddle in worldly affairs.
At that time, Xu Dawei, who saw a glimmer of light, where could he blame Lao Dao to leave, and invited the strange old Dao home, knelt in front of the strange Lao Dao with Xu Zixiong, begging him to help save his nephew, it doesn't matter if the curse on his body is broken or not.
At the beginning, the strange old man said that he was unwilling to say anything, but when Xu Zixiong, who lowered his head, raised his head, the strange old man took the initiative to let go, and said to Xu Dawei that whether the curse in the Xu family can be broken or not is all on Xu Zixiong, as long as he can hand Xu Zixiong over to himself and let him take away, he will teach Xu Zixiong how to break the curse.
Although Xu Dawei was bent on breaking the curse, he was a little unhappy with the request of the strange old way, after all, Xu Zixiong was his own nephew, and he was the last bit of blood of the Xu family, and he was only five years old.
Just when Xu Dawei lowered his head and pondered for a while, he looked up and wanted to ask the strange old Taoist to stay and teach Xu Zixiong, a strange thing happened, the old Taoist priest who was sitting in front of him and Xu Zixiong actually disappeared silently.
Xu Zixiong, who was five years old at the time, only said three words to Xu Dawei and flew away! This made Xu Dawei suddenly think of the cultivators recorded in the family classics, and he knelt on the ground excitedly and begged the strange old Taoist to appear, and he agreed to his request and let him take Xu Zixiong away.
It's a pity that Xu Dawei begged for a long time and the strange old road didn't appear, so in the next month, Xu Dawei, who was only thirteen years old, walked all over every corner of Tianshan Town, trying to find the unfathomable strange old way again, but he never got his wish, until one day, he heard from his neighbor that there was a strange light flashing on the top of Tianshan Mountain last night, so he pinned all his hopes on the top of Tianshan Mountain.
At that time, the onlookers who went to the top of the Tianshan Mountain were not only Xu Dawei, but also many curious villagers, including Zhang Xiaowen's parents, and when everyone finally climbed to the top of the Tianshan Mountain and appeared in front of the boulder where Tianzhu was located in Wuxing Town, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, especially Xu Dawei was so shocked that he almost didn't scream.
Because the person sitting cross-legged on the boulder was none other than the strange old man he was looking for, but at this time, the strange old man was covered in blood, and the Taoist robe on his body was dyed red, and his face was pale and scary, and he didn't know what danger the strange old man encountered and would be so seriously injured.
At that time, after many people saw that there was nothing to look at, most of them shook their heads and sighed in disappointment and left, but Xu Dawei begged his neighbors to help him carry the strange old road down the mountain to his home, but unfortunately except for Zhang Xiaowen's parents, other people didn't want to meddle in things, worried that if this old Taoist priest covered in blood died halfway, he would not be able to say clearly.
Because Xu Dawei was young and weak at the time, the heavy responsibility of carrying the strange old road all the way to home fell on the kind-hearted Zhang Xiaowen's parents, and no one thought that after successfully reciting the strange old way, Zhang Xiaowen's parents actually went to the top of the Tianshan Mountain for some reason, and died mysteriously.
At that time, many people said that it was a ghost made by the strange old way, and Xu Dawei was very self-blaming in his heart after hearing it, so he adopted Zhang Xiaowen, who often played with Xu Zixiong, and on the second night when the strange old man lived in Xu Dawei's room, the strange old man himself opened his eyes, and only said one word to Xu Dawei at that time, that is, he wanted to take Xu Zixiong away.
Xu Dawei wanted to ask about Zhang Xiaowen's parents at that time, but when he saw the strange old man looking sick, he couldn't help it, and handed Xu Zixiong over to the strange old man, and he has been dependent on Zhang Xiaowen for so many years.
After telling the strange old way in one breath, Xu Dawei took Xu Zixiong's hand and said: "Zixiong, I don't care how your master has treated you over the years and how many skills he has passed on to you, but I hope you can remember one thing, that is, Xiaowen's parents are our benefactors, just like one day you can rely on the skills passed on to you by your master and break the curse of our family, you have to take her well." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Dawei looked at Zhang Xiaowen with a wry smile and continued: "If it wasn't for your parents helping me carry the old Taoist down back then, maybe the person who died would be me, this kindness, our Xu family will always remember it, I haven't told you all these years, I'm afraid that you will hate me, here I apologize to you!" ”
After speaking, Xu Dawei pulled Xu Zixiong to get up, wanting to kowtow to Zhang Xiaowen to make amends, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaowen with tears on her face: "Uncle, Brother Daxiong, what are you doing here?" The death of my parents is all the same, where is it because of saving people, even if it is, I won't blame you, this is their life, I believe that they have done good deeds, and they will definitely give birth to a rich and noble family in the next life. ”
"Xiaowen," Xu Zixiong heard this, looked at Zhang Xiaowen and said slowly, "This head, you just let me knock on behalf of my uncle and master, if I guess correctly, my uncle and aunt's death is because of my master." Because my master and his old man must have gone to Tianzhu in Wuxing Town at that time, and fought with the desolate ** there, when he came out, he was not only seriously injured, but also carried the breath of a desolate beast, if this breath is placed on the cultivator, it will not feel anything, but ordinary people can't bear it. ”
"Five Elements Town Tianzhu? And the beasts? Brother Nobita, did you tell me a story? ”
Looking at Zhang Xiaowen's look of disbelief, Xu Zixiong smiled bitterly and said: "This is not a story but a fact, there is a continent above our space, the cultivators call it the Xiuzhen Continent, thousands of years ago, there were many wild beasts on the Xiuzhen Continent, and they fought with the cultivators above in order to compete for territory, and then a cultivator appeared a genius of cultivation, and he sealed the wild beasts in his magic weapon, which is the Five Elements Town Tianzhu I just said." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Zixiong turned his head to look at Lin Ru, who was stunned, and continued: "Today I just came out of Tianzhu in Wuxing Town, and met Sister Lin Ru on the top of the mountain, if you don't believe me, you can ask her to see if I came down from above." ”
"Zixiong, you mean you went to that Five Elements Town Tianzhu?" After Xu Dawei came to his senses, he looked at Xu Zixiong and asked, "Your master went and was seriously injured by the wild beast, and you came out unharmed, is your kid's ability higher than your master?" ”
"Uncle, my experience is different from that of the master, I don't have the same desolate ** hand inside, but judging from the master's situation, his old man's cultivation is much higher than mine, because the desolate beasts in the Five Elements Town Tianzhu are at least the cultivation of the Jindan period, and I haven't reached the Jindan stage yet, I just can't understand, why did the master go to the Five Elements Town Tianzhu back then?"
was reminded by Xu Zixiong, Xu Dawei on the side hurriedly said: "I remember when the strange old man was in a coma, he kept talking about what soul crossing, and what the master was, because it was too long, I can't remember it now." ”
"Soul crossing?" Xu Zixiong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and he was a little suspicious in his heart, could it be that the old man entered the Tianzhu of the Five Elements Town for the soul of his previous life, but who did the master in the mouth of the old man refer to, could it be the emperor of the five elements?
Xu Zixiong thought for a while, and didn't sound what the strange old way meant, so he had to decide to see the master himself and ask clearly, before going to rest, Xu Zixiong ignored Zhang Xiaowen's obstruction, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her three times to repay her parents' kindness back then.....
