Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Fate of the Ghost Valley (Collect!) )
Seeing the lively and lovely Qi Zhi, my mood seemed to be infected by her, rubbed my head with a splitting headache, controlled myself to relax temporarily, not to think about those complicated things, and then put on my clothes and went to eat with her.
When I arrived at the place to eat, I saw that everyone was already seated, and Qi Zhi and I were the last to arrive.
I sat down and started eating, and at the same time looked around, but found that I didn't see Yi He and the six of his men, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What about Yi and them?"
Shen Lang may have fought side by side with Yi He, and when he heard my question, he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and said vaguely.
"Brother Chuan, Yi He has been leaving with his subordinate Luo Yu for six days, he received news that something happened in the netherworld, and he hurriedly took someone back to deal with it, and the matter was urgent, so he didn't wait for you to wake up, and left directly, let me wait for you to wake up and ask you for his guilt."
Yi He is really unusually humble since my blood drops mountains and seas, and I naturally won't blame me for such a trivial matter. After all, they were still living and dying together just now, if he hadn't stood up, maybe we would have been buried in the underground palace, and before he could thank him after coming out, he would have left, which is a pity.
After thinking about it, I was a little relaxed, it is a good thing that others respect me, but Yihe is really too respectful, and the caution between words really makes me unbearable, and I am really relaxed when he leaves.
I was chatting with everyone while eating, and suddenly remembered the reaction of Yi and Chunting in the dungeon, looked at Chunting curiously, and asked a question that I didn't have a chance to ask at that time.
"Chunting, what is the relationship between you and Yi He, why does he call you brother again, and he wants to fight each other with swords, as if he has great hatred?"
Chunting was originally a resolute person, but when he heard me ask him this question, he actually looked embarrassed, and hesitated for a long time before he said it slowly.
"Yihe? I suspect that he is looking for a reason to leave, the life and death crisis in the underground imperial tomb, he has no intention of making trouble with me, now everyone is safe, if he eats with me, I am afraid that your identity as the holy lord will not be able to stop him, and he does not want to go against your will, so he can only find a reason to leave. ”
Xue Nan put down his chopsticks, looked at Chunting, and opened his mouth curiously.
"Chunting, I wondered, how much enmity can you two have, didn't he still call you brother in the underground palace?"
Chunting touched his nose, sighed, and spoke helplessly.
"Respect me as a brother because of the rules of Guigu, but there is only this relationship between the two of us, and he wants to kill me because of the fate of Guigu, not to mention that his master and his master's master all died at my hands, do you say this hatred is big?"
When we heard these words, we were speechless, such a deep hatred for killing a teacher is no less than the hatred of killing a father in the hearts of people who respect the teacher, and according to him, there is more than one person who died at his hands, so it seems that if you want to let Yihe stop the heart of revenge, it is indeed a little difficult.
Ling Xuan's expression was surprised when he heard this, he stopped eating and looked at Chun Ting in great confusion.
"Brother Ting, what the hell is going on, I have known you for the longest time, but I have never heard you mention this matter, what do you mean by this, I have always known that you are not a murderer, is there any misunderstanding in the middle?"
We all had no intention of eating, so we all put down our chopsticks and surrounded Chunting, waiting for him to answer our questions.
Seeing this, Chunting no longer hesitated, he slowly spoke, and told us about the secrets of the Guigu one after another.
According to Chunting, in addition to the first generation of Guigu, the past generations of Guiguzi are actually just a title, specifically used to call the head of the Guigu, and in addition to the many disciples of the first generation of Guigu, the past generations of Guiguzi will only accept two disciples in their lives, one is a combination of vertical and one is horizontal, and the winner between the two can become the new Guiguzi.
I don't know why there are such strange rules, although the generations are puzzled, but they still strictly abide by it, at the same time, this inexplicable rule leads to every generation of people in the Ghost Valley, all brothers are harmonious when they are young, but once they become adults, they start to kill each other for the position of the head of the family, so many years, without exception, the appearance of the brother wall has become the fate of the Guigu lineage.
When Qi Zhi heard this, she looked at Chunting angrily, her eyes were full of disbelief, and she spoke in an unkind tone.
"What kind of rule is this set by Guiguzi, isn't it forcing people to kill each other, besides, I don't believe that two people have grown up together since childhood, for the position of the head of the ghost, they can really live and die against each other, and the position of the head of the house is so important?"
Chun Ting knew what Qi Zhi meant, he didn't mind Qi Zhi rudely interrupting his speech, he reached out and rubbed Qi Zhi's head, and continued to speak, his expression was also full of doubts.
"When I first heard about it, I was the same as you, and I didn't believe that anyone would really be able to kill the killer because of this weird rule, but for some reason, maybe because of the exercises, or maybe because of some unknown curse, when Hezong and Lian Heng meet together, they will have uncontrollable thoughts of killing from the bottom of their hearts, and they can't control it at all."
No wonder, I just said that Chunting is not the kind of person who can kill innocents for the sake of false fame, it seems that there is indeed some kind of unknown mystery in their exercises.
After listening to this, Qi Zhi knew that she had misunderstood Chunting, so she stuck out her tongue apologetically, and spoke again at the same time.
"I'm sorry, Brother Chunting, I said that you are not that kind of person, but since Yi He hates you so much, why do you call you brother?"
Chunting's right index finger tapped the dining table irregularly, and said with emotion while knocking.
"It's also because of this weird rule, you also know that the Guigu line is divided into two branches, the vertical and the horizontal, which has always been dominated by the vertical, supplemented by the horizontal, from the beginning of the early learning art, the descendants of the Lianheng lineage respect the vertical and the first line as the elder brother, and when they meet, they respectfully call a brother, even if they are adults, most of them will habitually open their mouths, and then fight for life and death."
"I've lived too long, whether it's Yihe's master or his master's master, although we shot because we couldn't control the killing intent in our hearts, but in the final analysis, these two people did die at my hands, so I don't blame him at all."
"When I knew that he was the Lord of the Netherworld, I knew that he would not be your enemy, his enemy had always been only me, whether he died or I died in the end, both of us knew that this was the fate of the Guigu lineage, and we couldn't avoid it."
After listening to this secret story, we all secretly sighed, although we are not the descendants of the Ghost Valley, we are still frightened by their fate.
How ironic is it to say that the two who have been brothers and have been in harmony since childhood have actually been married to each other in adulthood because of fate, but this fate has lasted for thousands of years?
After Chun Ting finished speaking, his expression relaxed, as if he had finally found an opportunity to vent the pent-up emotions in his heart, he stood up, his demeanor returned to his usual majesty, and he opened his mouth to us without question.
"Let's go, it's been so long, it's time to go home."
