Chapter 9: The Secret of Our Vein

Previous Chapter

We returned to the ancestral hall, Shen Luo was still asleep, and Aunt Lan was taking care of her. But Scarlet Face seemed to be holding something in her hand, and then spoke to her hand.

When I got closer, I saw that Scarlet was holding a scorpion that was so black that it was shiny!

I don't know if you can imagine that a beautiful woman is talking and laughing at the black and shiny scorpion in her hand, no matter how you look at it, this is a very weird picture.

But in fact, this is what I saw.

"Zhengyi, you come out for a moment."

Just when I was getting goosebumps when I saw it, Brother Zhengren quietly walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and said in my ear.

After speaking, Brother Zhengren walked out of the ancestral hall, and I hurriedly followed.

"Tell me, what just happened?"

In the open space outside the ancestral hall, Brother Zhengren sat on the big stone where the crazy old man had sat in the morning and asked me.

The picture of Yun Scarlet Yan talking and laughing at the scorpion in his hand was still echoing in my mind, and I didn't react for a while, and Brother Zhengren asked what it was.

It wasn't until Brother Jeongin gently kicked me that I came back to my senses.

"I don't know what's going on, just now when I was exercising, I suddenly felt the jade ring in my chest being hot, and then there was a voice guiding my exercise, and after I reacted, I found out that it was crazy...... The exercises taught by the master were very different, and when I woke up, I saw that the house was full of worms. ”

I thought carefully about how I felt at that time, and told Brother Zhengren in detail.

This in itself is a very mysterious thing, to be precise, it is very nonsense, if you say it to others, you will definitely be scolded: "This kid is chattering, not like a good person!" I seem to be able to imagine that Shaanxi accent......

I've also thought about what kind of expression Brother Zhengren will have when I say this, and it is very likely that he will glance at me and say: "Zhengyi, although you are the descendant of the mountain lineage, although we are in contact with the world that ordinary people can't touch, but you can't talk nonsense like a god?" ”

But the truth is far from the picture in my mind, and I didn't expect to be killed, Brother Zhengren suddenly frowned, didn't say a word, and became silent, as if he had thought of something.

After a long time, Brother Zhengren must have thought of something, and suddenly stood up and stared at me.

I was frightened by Brother Zhengren's sudden incoming movements, and when I looked at Brother Zhengren's eyes, it seemed to shoot a kind of light in pursuit of truth. Brother Jeongin grabbed the collar of my white shirt without saying a word and pulled it down, and that rude look made me feel like a girl who had been by that......

Ahem, let's get down to business.

Brother Zhengren pulled down my collar, revealing the dragon-shaped jade ring on my chest.

"Is it because of it?" Brother Jeongin asked.

I nodded blankly, I didn't know what medicine was sold in Brother Zhengren's gourd.

Brother Zhengren put down my collar, then ripped off his collar again and took out a jade plaque hanging from his neck to show me.

"That jade ring of yours was given to you by Uncle Chen, right?"

I nodded and asked, "Brother Zhengren, your jade plate?" ”

"When I was six years old, my master gave it to me."

I stepped forward to see Brother Zhengren's jade plaque, which was the same as my jade ring, with no extra decorations, only a lifelike carving of a dragon, and the whole jade plaque exuded a chill, which was very refreshing.

Now I am no longer a beginner Taoist priest who didn't even have the skills before, and a few years ago, I suddenly had a curiosity about my jade ring.

When I first learned to use soul power, I tried to separate a wisp of spiritual power and invade the jade ring.

As a result, the jade ring emitted a dazzling light for a few seconds, and then I felt my soul power sink into the sea of cows, and I was completely disconnected.

I told Brother Zhengren about this, and Brother Zhengren looked at me suspiciously, with a clear expression that he didn't believe that there was such a bizarre thing in this world.

But the curiosity about the secret of his jade pendant finally drove Brother Zhengren to inject soul power into his jade pendant.

Something strange happened, just a few seconds after Brother Zhengren injected his soul power, a breath that seemed to come from ancient times suddenly erupted from the jade pendant, and at the same time as this breath exploded, I was immediately bounced to the side as if I had been shocked.

At this moment, I felt a warm current in my chest, which forcibly stabilized my body.

And Brother Zhengren lowered his head and looked at the jade plate in his hand, the whole person was like dementia, and I didn't even respond to me when I shouted "Brother Zhengren" a few times.

After about three or four minutes like this, the ancient aura that erupted from the jade pendant receded like the tide of the sea, and Brother Zhengren's face gradually recovered.

I hurriedly ran forward to check on Brother Zhengren, that breath was so terrifying, it instantly reminded me of the poor remnant soul I saw when I was a child.

Brother Zhengren shook his head, indicating that he didn't have any problems, and then Brother Zhengren looked at the sky with a confused look in his eyes, and said, "How many secrets are hidden in our vein?" ”

I don't know if Brother Jeongren's words were said to me, or if he said it unconsciously to himself, but this sentence made my heart tremble.

"Two years ago, I met Zhengwei and Zhengqing......," Zhengren said.

I don't know why Brother Zhengren talked about them at this time, but I can see that he still has something to say.

"Zhengwei has a jade bracelet, and Zhengqing is wearing a jade ring on his hand. If I guessed correctly, it should have been given to them by Uncle Li and Uncle Pan. ”

"What do you mean...... The descendants of our lineage all have jade accessories passed down from the master? I asked.

"Maybe it's not just accessories, I'll contact Zhengchun when I have the opportunity to go back, if she also has ......"

Speaking of this, Brother Zhengren paused for a moment, as if he had thought of a possibility, and suddenly shot an excited light from his eyes, and then put his hands around my shoulders excitedly and said, "I understand!" ”

"What do you understand?"

"Secret method! It's a secret method! Brother Zhengren took a deep breath and continued: "People in the circle have been circulating many secret methods in our vein, but what I have never been able to figure out is that what the master teaches is just ordinary techniques, where does the secret method come from?" At this time, I figured out that the jade rings and jade pendants on our bodies are hidden in the secret methods of each of our veins! ”

Then Brother Jeongin looked at me like a child seeing a long-coveted snack, and the frenzy in his eyes made me think that he was a little nervous now.

"Because of you! Shoichi! You are the best example of this! ”

I looked at Brother Zhengren suspiciously, is the truth really as Brother Zhengren guessed?

My gut told me that this was not the case, and the simplest reason was that I had never heard of jade hiding secret methods. After all, the secret method is a dead thing, even if it is hidden in the jade, then what is the sound I heard?

And I always think that these jade accessories given to us by the older generation must have its true meaning, not as simple as Brother Zhengren guessed, if so, why don't the older generation make it clear to us?

Of course, this is also one of the doubts, so I think these jade accessories must contain a big secret, and I must find a chance to ask the crazy old man when I go back.

I communicated my thoughts to Brother Zhengren, and Brother Zhengren gradually calmed down from his excitement and fanaticism, and after careful analysis, this is indeed the case.

At the end, Brother Zhengren said: "I will get in touch with Zhengwei and let them talk well." ”

I nodded.

When Brother Zhengren said this, we happened to see the crazy old man coming down from the mountain, so we could only make a hasty summary.
