Chapter 127: Mr. Lei Jian
By the time we left the Desert of Death, it was already the next morning.
Seven of the last remaining shamans saw us off, and one of the oldest shamans performed a divination for us. The results of the divination were beyond our expectations, but when you think about it, it makes sense.
The old wizard said that if we won this bet, we lost. Losing this bet means we won.
When I heard this, I always felt that this old wizard was fooling us, but Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua looked gloomy and replied, "Even so, we have to do our best to win." As for those who lose, only time will tell. Nothing in this world is perfect. ”
I didn't understand it at first, but it was much later that I understood what my boss was saying. That's right, the world is very fair, and if you gain something, you will inevitably lose something.
Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua won the gambling battle, but lost some other very important things. But even so, they are still trying their best to win.
may have something to do with the old wizard's divination results, after leaving the ancestral temple, Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua became a lot more silent. Aside from the necessary rotational drives, it's basically dozing off in the back.
Because of this atmosphere, my words became much less. By the time we left the Desert of Death, the three of us didn't even speak more than ten words to each other!
This phenomenon did not ease until we returned to the Xilingol League. I don't know if the two bosses wanted to open it, or if they were affected by the prosperity of the modern city, the unhappiness and dullness brought by the ancestral temple before were swept away.
Of the four people, three have been found. There is still the last hundred-year-old beggar to complete the road of atonement. Now there are six days left before the ghost gate is opened, if it goes well, even if all the gambling participants are gathered, everyone will gather in Ruoqiang County, and this gambling game can be carried out.
It's just that I didn't expect that what happened in Yinchuan would be unforgettable for the rest of my life.
According to the information provided by the boss, this hundred-year-old beggar's name is Quan Zhenxing, and when he was young, he was nicknamed Soul Reaper, relying on two thunder swords, and the killing he created was really not low.
When he was young, it happened to be the darkest era in Chinese history. At that time, the national disaster was at the head, the evil was monstrous, Quan Zhenxing resolutely rushed to the battlefield, and in that chaotic era, the evil and living people who died at his hands reached a terrifying triple digit.
Although it is a war of nations, there are many killings, and the revitalization of the whole country is inevitably affected. After making meritorious contributions, Quan Zhenxing was worshiped as a national hero, but others only saw his bright side, but did not find the helplessness and bitterness hidden behind it.
In the early seventies, Quan Zhenxing was old, and his blood and qi were declining greatly. And it was at this time that those evil spirits and ghosts who were unwilling to die all came to the door.
Although Quan Zhenxing is old, the tiger is still there, and the evil spirits and ghosts dare not provoke this old man who is close to the sixtieth year, but they set their sights on his descendants.
Since then, Quan Zhenxing's family has had accidents one after another, either going out and being hit by a car, or a sudden falling object, and even at special times, Quan Zhenxing's grandchildren even inexplicably self-harmed at home.
Don't look at the whole revitalization means, it is extremely powerful. But the ghosts who ask for their lives are everywhere, even if he can protect them for a while, how can he protect them for a lifetime?
After a hundred years, wouldn't those life-seeking ghosts be even more rampant?
Because of this, Jeon Jin visited many famous exorcists, and later someone told him that if you want to protect your family, you can only take the road of atonement.
After you're gone, the ghosts will be watching over you all the time. If you are sincere, they will choose to forgive you. When there are no ghosts behind you, it means that your sins are gone.
Quan Zhenxing thought about it for a while, thinking that this was indeed the case, so he ignored the dissuasion of his family and resolutely embarked on the road of atonement.
This walk is 30 years.
Those who are on the road of atonement are not allowed to ride in a car, they are not allowed to consume, they are not allowed to eat or drink, and they have to ask for all of them. The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, to make up for his sins with the help of the peaceful atmosphere of the people, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a tempering of his mind.
There is even a saying that such hard work is actually in the eyes of those unjust souls. If the soul sees in the suffering that the person is sincere, he may give up his life and hatred.
Quan Zhenxing was nearly seventy years old when he made this decision, and his physical fitness was not as good as before, but for the sake of the peace of his family in the future, he did not hesitate to walk the world alone.
In the past 30 years, Quan Zhenxing has never eaten a hot meal or slept in a warm bed. In winter, he walks barefoot on the cold ground, and in summer, he braves the wind, rain and mud to walk hard.
He was also on the verge of dying of hunger, and was stoned by local urchins as madmen, and was almost deceived by vicious people into using it as a tool to collect money.
But every time the whole revitalization persevered.
He did all this not for himself, but for his family.
Now that the thirty-year period has expired, the sin he had done for half his life has been fully repaid. The centenarian, who had not returned home for 30 years, finally returned to Yinchuan for the first time.
But at this time, Yinchuan has already been in vicissitudes, and it is very different from 30 years ago.
He doesn't even know where his grandson lives.
In the past, an exorcist who was powerful and slain countless demons was shaped into a bad old man in ragged clothes and gray hair.
It was only afternoon when we arrived in Yinchuan City. At this time, the sky was clear after the rain, the sky was blue, and the air was fresh and comfortable. Zhang Wuren used the yin and yang compass to make a position, and then went straight to Helan County, Yinchuan.
The more powerful the exorcist, the stronger the aura on his body. Generally, around this kind of exorcist, there will be a subtle change in the yin and yang aura around him.
This change is difficult to detect, but it can be detected with a compass. The place where the yin and yang aura changes is where the exorcist is.
This is also the basis for Zhang Wuren to find full revitalization.
But he said that after we arrived in Helan County, Zhang Wuren drove straight to the Hepingjiayuan community on the edge of the city. As soon as the car drove into the gate of the community, I saw dozens of men and women in front of me, standing on the side of the road watching the excitement.
In the surrounding residential buildings, there are still many people who open their windows and are looking down, taking videos while watching.
It is people's nature to see the excitement, and it is estimated that this lively event is not small to be able to gather so many residents. At that moment, I had an intuition and whispered: "Boss, it can't be related to the old-timers of Quanzhen, right?" ”
Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua didn't answer, they squeezed directly through the crowd and looked ahead, it didn't matter what they looked at, the three of us were about to pop out in shock.
At the door of a unit door, an old man with gray hair and beard knelt in a daze. The old man was ragged and dirty, and his shoes were bare.
Don't look at it kneeling, but the old man's waist is straight, just half-bowing his head and not saying a word, as if he feels guilty.
Zhang Wuren whispered: "Thunder Sword senior! ”
Quan Zhenxing's nickname back then was the Thunder Sword, and it is said that the double swords he used were made from a century-old lightning strike wood. The so-called hundred-year-old lightning strike wood is actually a tree that has grown for a hundred years and is struck by natural lightning, forming a natural lightning pattern.
The thunder sword of Quan Zhenxing was formed by the lightning strike of iron and wood, and after being found by Quan Zhenxing, it was shaped into the shape of a wooden sword. Despite the fact that it is woody, the ironwood itself is tough, and the density of the ironwood is dramatically increased by soaking it in a special liquid.
Although it is made of wood, it is as hard as steel.
Coupled with the natural thunder pattern on it, it is specially designed to restrain powerful ghosts and demons, and there can even be a roar of heavenly thunder under the wielding. It is with the two thunder swords that the prestige of the whole revitalization of the thunder sword has been achieved.
In his time, Quan Zhenxing was honored as Mr. Lei Jian.
He Zhonghua scolded: "Who dares to let Mr. Lei Jian kneel here? Ate bear heart leopard gall? ”
As he spoke, he wanted to walk over and help the old man up. Unexpectedly, He Zhonghua grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, if it wasn't for the willingness of Lei Jian's seniors, who could let him kneel here?" ”
I looked curious, and casually dragged a middle-aged uncle who was watching the excitement, handed over a cigarette, and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?" With such an old man, who made him kneel here? ”
The uncle was quite talkative, took the cigarette and sniffed it on his nose, and then said, "Good smoke, Ninety-Five?" ”
After a pause, the uncle said again: "I heard that this old man is the grandfather of Quanfugui, who has been lost for thirty years. Tsk, I just came back and found my grandson. As a result, Quan Fugui didn't recognize him at all. ”
I was surprised and said, "Don't recognize him?" Could it be that Quanfu Fugui doesn't even know his grandfather? ”
The uncle explained, "That's not what I meant. Although I haven't seen him for thirty years, Quan Fugui was not young at that time, how could he not know his grandfather? It's just that he knows and knows, but he doesn't want to recognize each other, or more precisely, he doesn't dare to recognize each other! ”
My heart moved, could it be that the unjust soul provoked by Mr. Lei Jian is still entangled in the whole rich family? So much so that he didn't dare to recognize his grandfather?
But as soon as this idea came out, the uncle snorted at the unit building and said: "Quan Fugui, this person is a wreck, he married a wife who is bitter and mean, and the son he gave birth to is not recognized by his six relatives." His wife said that she didn't know where a bad old man came from, so she wanted to enter her own door to support the elderly? If Quan Fugui dares to recognize this old man as grandpa, don't recognize her as a wife and son! ”
Just last night, Quan Fugui secretly ran out to give the old man some food, but his daughter-in-law caught him and beat him violently, and Quan Fugui had a blue nose and swollen face, and he didn't dare to speak. At the end, he poured the rice into the trash can, saying that even if he fed the dogs, he couldn't give it to people who didn't care. ”
After hearing this, I was instantly furious, fuck, is there any fucking royal law? In order for his grandson to live in peace and stability, Mr. Lei Jian has been walking on the road of atonement alone for 30 years! I don't know how much suffering I have endured to pay off my sins and let the yin spirit no longer haunt me.
But now when I come back, I was treated as a begging for food by my granddaughter-in-law, and I didn't dare to enter the door!
