Chapter 51: Heavy Responsibilities
"Open the eyes of the sky? What's going on? Li Ergou wondered.
He has seen Erlang God in Journey to the West, as well as some characters in fantasy film and television dramas, but these people are all characters with hands and eyes.
And what about him Li Ergou? It's just a small clerk, how could such a thing as opening the eyes of heaven happen to him.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask your third uncle." The fat man said.
Perhaps because of the different sects and concepts, coupled with personality reasons, the fat man and the third uncle have always been very opposed.
"Ergou, what he said is right, you are the hope of our old Li family, with heavy responsibilities, the third uncle really helped you open your eyes just now."
The third uncle was also refreshed, and he didn't hide it as before, and said truthfully.
He was like this, Li Ergou was a little unaccustomed to it, and even doubted himself for a while.
What is the hope of the old Li family? What does it mean to be responsible?
And twenty years ago, what really happened? Why did his father save him at the cost of his life?
Just now, it was an eye-opener! The third uncle did it so easily, how powerful was the Lingyin Sect, and how rebellious was his father Li Chengde back then?
Li Ergou became more and more curious.
Even if he is not a cultivator now, he has no mana or Taoism on his body, and he can even be described as having no power to restrain the chicken.
But Li Ergou also knew that opening the eyes of heaven was the supreme method in the cultivation world.
It is not limited by size, distance, light and shade, nor is it limited by concealment or transparency.
It does not need to be reflected by light and shadow, but by the reflection or refraction of mental forces.
"Third uncle, do you still owe me an explanation?"
Li Ergou looked at the third uncle with straight eyes, a few days ago, he and the third uncle had already had an open and honest conversation, but he didn't expect the third uncle to hide something from him.
"Ergou, there are some things, the third uncle also knows a little about them, and if you ask, it will be in vain." The third uncle said simply.
"Then tell me what you know." Li Ergou said excitedly.
He was fed up with this feeling of being at the mercy of others and just wanted to know the truth.
"Okay, I'll tell you."
The third uncle took a deep breath and continued: "Twenty years ago, I was originally working in a coastal province, and one day I suddenly received news from your grandfather, saying that your father was missing and asked me to go home to help. ”
"It was also from that time that your grandfather began to teach me Taoism, and I also knew that he was the descendant of the Lingyin Sect." After a pause, the third uncle continued.
"So, what the yellow-skinned old lady said is true?" Li Ergou asked.
Li Ergou was not surprised at all by the third uncle's answer, to be precise, since he heard the fat man say about the Lingyin Sect, he had this kind of doubt in his heart.
Now, it's just been confirmed.
"Yes, these yellow-skinned people were originally disciples of the Lingyin Sect, responsible for guarding the underground labyrinth of Fengyuan Mansion, but they coveted the things in the labyrinth, and in the end they were all strangled and sealed here." The third uncle explained.
After Li Ergou and the fat man listened, they were all stunned.
I didn't expect that those yellow-skinned spirits before were all ghosts who did not enter reincarnation, no wonder the third uncle would appear in front of Mrs. Huangpizi before Li Ergou.
But soon, Li Ergou discovered that something was wrong.
If those yellow-skinned spirits are ghosts, and everything they have just experienced is an illusion, then what is the matter with the old man in Mai?
A ghost, it's impossible to go to Yangcheng Aihai Shopping Park to set up a stall, and it's impossible to go to Ami's house to pretend to be a ghost, right?
There is no doubt that the identity of the old man in Mai has become an unsolved mystery.
Li Ergou felt that the old man in Mai was probably not the previous batch of yellow skins who had cultivated fine, but their descendants, who became refined later.
Otherwise, there was no need for him to pester Li Ergou to seal the immortal.
"Ergou, believe it or not, over the years, I have also been looking for the truth about your father's disappearance."
Seeing that Li Ergou didn't say a word, thinking there was a distraction, and the third uncle spoke again.
Li Ergou nodded and said sincerely: "Third uncle, I know that I have worked hard for you all these years. ”
Putting aside the matter of the heirs of the Lingyin faction, the third uncle has really done his best for Li Ergou over the years, and he has not even married for the sake of this family.
Completely regarded Li Ergou as his own, because the third uncle had been avoiding the important and light, Li Ergou complained about him, and now that he thinks about it, he shouldn't be at all.
"It's okay, you kid, how old are you, and you're still sensationalizing here, and you're not too insensitive?" The third uncle smiled and said on Li Ergou's shoulder.
Li Ergou touched his nose embarrassedly, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Third uncle, since this is the case, we might as well go home first!" ”
"Okay."
The third uncle nodded, and then returned the same way with the fat man.
The fog in the mountains has basically dissipated, the air has drier a lot, and the speed of coming back is obviously much faster than when I went.
After leaving the mountain, the mobile phone signal has been restored.
As soon as he opened his mobile phone, Li Ergou received more than a dozen WeChat messages from Sister Bao'er, all of which were words of concern for Li Ergou.
When he saw these news, even a rough man like Li Ergou couldn't help but feel a surge of sweetness in his heart, and it felt so good that someone cared.
Then Li Ergou dialed Sister Bao'er's phone and reported that she was safe.
After looking at the time, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Ergou and the others went to Ami's house to explain the situation, and then made an appointment with an online car-hailing car and drove towards Yangcheng.
After returning to Yangcheng, after a simple lunch, the fat man went to the Emgrand Hotel to rest, and Li Ergou followed the third uncle to his small shop.
"Third uncle, have you ever seen the local city god, a mysterious man with a grimace mask?"
After coming to the third uncle's shop, Li Ergou asked the third uncle.
The identity of the City God has always been the most curious about Li Ergou, not only because he has the amnesty given to Li Ergou by the King of Jizo, but also because the City God is too mysterious.
Moreover, several encounters gave Li Ergou an extremely familiar feeling.
It's as if Lord Chenghuang is the person next to him.
"I haven't seen it, why did you suddenly ask about Chenghuang?" The third uncle's eyes obviously dodged for a moment, and then he pretended to be calm and said.
After Li Ergou asked just now, he kept staring at the third uncle, so the slight change in the third uncle's expression just now couldn't escape his eyes at all.
Has the third uncle seen Chenghuang, Li Ergou already has a bottom in his heart.
"It's okay, I'll just ask, after all, he once rescued me."
Li Ergou pretended to say casually, and then told him about the last time outside Wolong Village, the Chenghuang Lord and the fat man did it in front of the madman's grave, and in front of the Wusheng Temple, he rescued people from Guan Erye's knife.
Who knows, after the third uncle listened, his expression became extremely solemn, and his whole face was a little dark.
