Came to the door of the Shi family again, because it was already night, so the surroundings had been quiet, but only the lights were still on in front of the Shi family, the door was open, and a sitting figure at the door was a little conspicuous in the lights, as if he was patiently waiting for the return.

"Xianggong!"

The lady of the Shi family had already noticed from a distance that it was her father-in-law, and she felt a burst of joy and guilt in her heart, and hurriedly walked forward.

"Lady, you're back!" Shi Zengyan was still the same as he had seen before, his complexion was a little weak, obviously he had not recovered from his illness for a long time, and he seemed to be a little relieved when he saw the lady who went home, and said with a smile.

However, when his eyes moved slightly, he noticed that Daoist Tian and a pair of strange men and women who came with him couldn't help but show a little doubt on their faces.

"Tian Dao Chief? The other two ......," he asked, confused.

Qing Dai took the initiative to say: "Don't hide it, the little girl's name is Qing Dai, this is Ye Hancheng, we are all friends of Tian Daochang, and your lady met by chance today, and we had a very happy conversation, so I accidentally delayed some time." ”

"I see." Shi Zengyan nodded slightly, and then turned his curious gaze to Daoist Tian.

"I came here today because I want to ask Mr. Shi for some important things, I don't know if it's okay?" Daoist Tian had no intention of concealing it, and showed the travelogue written by Daoist Qinghong that he brought.

Shi Zengyan's eyes froze, and then his eyelids drooped slightly, and he nodded: "It's cold at night, it's warmer in the house, you might as well come in and talk about it......"

When they walked into the house, the Shi family lady used to boil water to make tea, while Shi Zengyan invited a few people to sit down and asked, "I don't know what the chief wants to ask?" If there is anything I know, I will know everything. ”

Tian Daochang took out the book and put it on the table, skillfully turned out the last few pages, swiped the columns of words describing the treasure with his fingertips, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Shi, I wonder if you know about this treasure that your father once said in this book?" ”

"According to my guess, this thing may be related to the disaster here, and the stakes are very high, please tell me as much as possible!"

He pleaded very solemnly.

Shi Zengyan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Actually, I don't know much about this matter. ”

"In the early years, my father had been wandering the world outside, slaying demons everywhere, and the opportunity to return home was extremely rare. But one day, he suddenly returned home, took me and my mother to live in this Peishan city, and began to teach me the Tao very rarely. ”

"Although I was not very old at the time, I could see the worry under my father's resolute look, and I wondered if something terrible had happened that would make this profound hero feel a little helpless."

"At that time, my father seemed to be waiting for me to be successful in my studies and then inform me of everything. But it's a pity that my qualifications in Taoism are very dull, and it took a lot of time to fully accept my father's inheritance even for the simplest Taoism. ”

"Gradually, my father no longer urged me to learn the Tao, and it seems that he has given up."

Speaking of these times, Shi Zengyan's expression gradually revealed a melancholy look, obviously disappointed in his father, and he still feels a regret. His affection for that father is not just a simple family affection, but also a reverence for a world-famous hero.

Under such circumstances, he was unable to pass on all the skills of this hero, so he was naturally ashamed.

Then he changed his tune and began to talk about an important matter: "Before my father died in bed, he didn't tell me what he was here for. But he told me one thing, and that was to make me go every month to a specific place on a mountain outside the city and put a charm on it, as if to seal something. ”

"This is it!" Daoist Tian suddenly perked up and listened intently as he continued to narrate.

"In the past few years, I would regularly go up the mountain every month, not every half a month, to check and replace some charms that have faded or damaged, and put new charms on them, so I don't dare to get tired."

When he said this, the lady of the Shi family behind him had already walked out with the brewed tea, gently served everyone a cup of tea, and then looked at her husband with soft eyes, as if she never got tired of watching it.

Shi Zengyan took a sip of tea, but his expression became a little heavy when he talked about the next thing: "It's just that just a few years ago, when I went up the mountain, I found a big black python entrenched in a tree, as if it was about to tear those charms, and a bird was trying to stop it, but because of its lack of strength, it was knocked to the ground by a tail and injured......"

"I hurried up to subdue the python with the Dao method, both to save the bird and to protect those charms from destruction."

"However, the strength of that python is not bad, it may have been almost demonic, although my Dao Fa reluctantly beat it away, but I was accidentally injured by the same injury, so I fell into the root of this body......"

When he said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he seemed to have some discomfort in his throat and coughed twice, and the lady of the Shi family next to him hurriedly gently stroked his shoulder to make him feel a little better.

Shi Zengyan glanced at his mother with gentle eyes, and then said again: "It is precisely because of that injury that I can no longer be a Taoist priest, nor will I have the opportunity to find out what my father said in this travelogue. To make matters worse, when I tried to post the charms on the mountain after that, I found that every other night, all the charms were burned down! ”

"Even later, when I wanted to go up the mountain again, I felt the ultimate sense of danger, and I felt as if something was watching in the dark, ready to take my head, as if some force was preventing me from continuing to post the charm."

He smiled bitterly again: "Later, the injury became more and more serious, and it was very difficult for me to even go out and walk a few steps away, and after all, I still couldn't go to the mountain to post the charm." I don't know what the situation is now. ”

"But in fact, as far as my own guess is concerned, maybe that thing should have something to do with this disaster, but I haven't been sure for sure."

"That's ......" Daoist Tian was stunned, his brows furrowed and he fell into deep thought.

What Shi Zengyan said now is very detailed, and he has basically been honest with each other without any concealment, which also makes him even more surprised by the truth behind the scenes.
