Volume 1: The Candle Dragon of the South China Sea Chapter 32: The Legend in the Classic of Mountains and Seas
Obviously, what the man in black said is exactly the same as what Brother Wang said before, the dragon candle does have the effect of turning stones into gold, but it is not easy to find the dragon candle, besides, Brother Wang is for the ideal to help the poor people, and the second uncle's purpose must be for money.
I was surprised and delighted for a while, it seems that the major discovery mentioned in the grandfather's notes will indeed subvert people's perception of the world, if the story of the candle dragon is true, then the mythical beasts recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" have really existed in this world?
I was a little puzzled and asked my second uncle, "Are these all true?" Why didn't you tell me about this? What secrets did grandpa discover back then? ”
The second uncle ignored me, turned his head to look at the dark room, sighed and said, "It's useless to tell you, your grandfather did find some traces of divine beasts back then, but there are many that don't exist anymore, and what he found are only a few divine beasts that exist in the world." ”
"Only the divine beasts that exist in the world? What are they? I asked.
"The South China Sea Candle Dragon, the North Sea Ying Dragon, the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, the Shark on the Other Side, the Firebird Bi Fang, the Intestine of Nuwa, the Queen Mother of the Underworld."
The second uncle's words shocked me, I couldn't believe my ears, my body seemed to be bolted to a fast stone, and I collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, my brain seemed to have lost the ability to command actions, and I looked at the second uncle stupidly on the ground.
"Get up, there's so much you don't know, and if I told you this, would you still believe it now?" The second uncle walked over with a calm face, pulled me up and said.
I lit a cigarette, sat on the ground for a long time, looked at the strange second uncle in front of me, and asked, "What secret did grandpa discover back then?" Why did you die for no reason? ”
"I can't tell you this yet, if you can break the seals of all the divine beasts, you will naturally know." After the second uncle finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door.
I was stupidly stunned, looking at the back of my second uncle gradually moving away, and sighed, not only my grandfather who had lived together for seven years, but even my biological father and second uncle were so strange. Immediately disheartened, how many secrets are still hidden from me in this family.
Disheartened, I walked outside, sighed, walked slowly on the mountain road, looking at the vast mountains in the distance, I secretly sighed: I want to uncover the secret left by my grandfather, I don't know how many mountains and mountains I have to cross.
I stayed alone for a while, letting the wind blow on my face, and tears fell to the ground one by one.
After a while, the fat man called me, and the phone shouted that I was in a hurry to go back, so I had to pack up my emotions and walk towards the location of the camp, but when I arrived in the courtyard, I didn't see the fat man and Chen Haoyue, some drivers and people in black were busy packing their luggage, a little puzzled, grabbed one of them, and asked, "What are you doing?" Is this leaving? ”
"The boss said that he would go to the mountain tomorrow, isn't he in a hurry to pack his luggage?" After the man finished speaking, he continued to move his things.
I'm a little helpless, it seems that the second uncle has found the location of the entrance, this time in order to find the dragon candle and swear not to stop, but in the blink of an eye, I don't know where Brother Wang and the three of them are now, barren mountains and mountains, let alone life or death.
Thinking about these questions in my mind, a figure flashed in front of my eyes, and it turned out that the fat man suddenly appeared in front of me, grabbed me, and said, "Stinky boy, where did you go, I've been looking for you for a long time." ”
"It's just going out for a walk, what's wrong? Isn't it possible to go into the mountains now? I asked.
"It's not! It's afternoon now, it's almost dark, what kind of mountain are you going into! I'll go back tomorrow. But there's one thing to tell you, don't be freaking out when you say it. After the fat man finished speaking, he sighed, and his face was a little pale.
I anxiously asked, "What the hell is going on?" Don't beat around the bush! ”
"That old man just now died!" The fat man's eyes widened and he said with a shocked expression.
I was taken aback, not long ago he was cooking for us and telling us a story, and the old man's body has always been quite healthy, how can a good person suddenly die?
"How did you die, was it killed or not?" I was a little puzzled, and then asked the fat man.
The fat man lit a cigarette, looked at the vast mountains in the distance, sighed and said: "Just now it was when we were eating, the old man finished telling the story and went back to the house, and after a long time he didn't come out, everyone felt that something was wrong, so he let the mountain baby go into the house to take a look, but the mountain baby entered the house to see, the old man was lying on the bed and sleeping with a quilt, everyone didn't pay much attention, and they went back to their own rooms to rest."
But when it came to the time to feed the chickens in the afternoon, the old man still didn't come out, and the mountain baby went into the house again to see that the old man was still sleeping, and then called for a long time and didn't care, and when he got closer, his heartbeat and breathing were gone, and he lay quietly on the bed, but there was not even a drop of blood on the bed, but the person died like that, like... It's like someone has taken your soul away. You said that it was really evil, and I don't know if it was killed by someone or how it died? ”
The old man's sudden departure has already frightened everyone, and the second uncle is in a hurry to enter the mountain at this special moment, is it possible that he is really targeted by something unclean? I didn't think much of it, and quickly asked the fat man to take me to the old man's room.
followed the fat man to the old man's room, the second uncle and the man in black gathered in front of the old man's body, and the mountain baby squatted in the corner and cried. Looking at the appearance of the mountain baby, an indescribable sadness poured into my heart for a while, a month ago, my grandfather also left me like this.
Squatted next to Shanwa and whispered a few words of comfort. The little guy was still crying vigorously, and he didn't know how long he had been crying, his two dark and bright eyes were a little red, and he had lost a lot of weight, his clothes had been soaked with tears, and he looked at his grandfather on the bed stupidly, and his reluctant gaze was still recalling the past.
I can understand this feeling, in the face of life, old age, sickness and death in the world, these things cannot be changed by our mere mortals, and only the most precious thing is to keep the lost people in our hearts forever. However, even the years will gradually blur their shadows, and what we can do is to keep reminiscing about the past every day.
Stomach walked outside and lit a cigarette, smoking while thinking about things, in the face of the sudden death of the old man, many of us can't accept it, what is even more surprising is: why did the old man die just after telling that story, who killed the old man, and what was the purpose? If it wasn't killed by someone else, then is this thing a god or a ghost?
"Xiaotian, come in!"
Just as I was thinking about these things, the second uncle suddenly came out of the house and called me, which suddenly interrupted my thoughts. I didn't think much about it, and hurriedly followed the second uncle into the house.
Got to the house. The second uncle and the third aunt, the little brother in black, as well as the fat man and Chen Haoyue stared at me with dead eyes, and their eyes were like knives deep across my face, I scratched my head a little puzzled, and asked, "Why are you staring at me?" ”
The little guy in black walked up to me, looked directly at me, hid his hands behind his back, and slowly handed me a piece of paper.
"Can you explain that?"
I was even more puzzled, scratched my head and took the piece of paper to see, the back was a little wet, and when I opened it, my face turned green with fright, and I collapsed on the ground, and goosebumps stood up on my body.
Because behind that piece of paper, it was the old man who bit his finger and wrote a bloody word "Tian"!
"It's... This... Do you doubt me? ”
Facing everyone's gaze, coupled with this bloody word "heaven", I quickly understood that they had always suspected that the old man was killed by me.
"Second uncle asked you, after I chatted with you in the afternoon, where did you go during that time?"
The second uncle also walked up to me, his eyes were firm, and his two dark eyes stared straight at me, and there was no room for any sand.
I shook my head helplessly and sighed, these things are enough to annoy me, and now the old man's death is also related to me, and even everyone suspects that I killed the old man, I don't want to answer such stupid questions at all.
"Listen to me, maybe the word "heaven" means the will of heaven, so don't pay too much attention to it. The fat man walked up to me, pushed away the little brother in black and the second uncle with both hands, and said that the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.
"Xiaotian, the second uncle doesn't suspect you, it's just that this matter has something to do with you, and I have to take care of you because you are my own nephew."
The second uncle also walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder and said, his face was full of kindness, and he didn't have the nervousness he had before.
I lowered my head, sighed, and said, "Just now after we finished talking, I went to the back mountain to relax, I didn't know what was going on here, and after a while, the fat man came to me." ”
"It seems that this matter is hanging..."
The second uncle sighed and walked out of the door alone, and his back gradually disappeared.
Looking at the back of the second uncle, I guess they still don't believe me, but the facts are in front of me, and the explanation is already redundant, mixed with a hint of helplessness.
When the fat man saw me squatting on the ground dejectedly, he also squatted down and punched me, saying, "Don't take it to heart, even if others doubt you, the fat man will never doubt you." ”
"And me, I won't doubt you." Chen Haoyue also walked over, squatting beside me and comforting me softly.
A few short and heartwarming words from the fat man and Chen Haoyue made me feel much more comfortable at once, and I stood up and followed them outside to pack my luggage together.
The second uncle instructed a few drivers and men to deal with the old man's body, and we also followed, although Chen Haoyue was a little reluctant, tears fell to the ground, watching the old man's body be buried by dust little by little, and this secret was also buried deep in everyone's hearts.
When everyone had packed their luggage, I turned my head to look at the mountain baby on the side, only to see that the mountain baby was still crying in front of his grandfather's grave, I didn't feel good in my heart, and turned around and asked the second uncle: "After his grandfather leaves, what should I do with the child Shanwa?" ”
