Chapter 155: We don't have a grandfather anymore
Yi Tian was speechless when I asked, I took advantage of this gap and reached out to open the brocade box, I was very nervous in my heart, I didn't know what it contained.
The moment the brocade box was opened, the first bright light overflowed from it, and when the box was fully opened, I saw two things inside, half-wrapped in fine bright yellow satin.
I know the thing on the left, it is a jade wrench with a whole body of emerald, this is the symbol of the patriarch of the white fox clan, Grandpa Bai wears it on the thumb of his right hand all the year round, I didn't see it when I was buried, I thought he should have left the jade wrench to the eldest uncle, but I didn't expect that he had already left it to me.
Whoever is in the hand of this jade wrench is the patriarch of the White Fox Clan, and he can command the forces of the White Fox Clan.
But I don't want to be the patriarch, besides, the White Fox Clan has now merged with the Black Fox Clan, and this jade wrench is not as important as before.
However, this does not mean that it is not precious, and if the fox clan splits again one day in the future, this jade wrench finger will be crucial.
His gaze shifted to the right, his brow furrowed slightly.
On the right is a transparent container, inside which a small section of furry stuff is placed, and a white light is placed inside.
I've seen a similar one of this things, Yunshuang has one, she used this to sense Mo Xianye at the beginning, and I haven't understood the fluffy thing in it and what the glow is.
I turned to look at Yi Tian and asked her, "What is this?" ”
Yi Tian turned her face away, stretched out her hand and waved it in the corner of her eye, was she crying?
I chuckled in my heart and didn't speak, just looked at Yi Tian quietly, waiting for her to calm down.
After a while, Yi Tiancai said with a crying voice: "As early as half a year ago, my grandfather calculated that his limit was approaching, so in the past six months, he has gradually put out his power and sharpened my father and them." ”
"It wasn't until a few days ago that he felt that he could let go of the entire White Fox Clan, so he loosened his mouth and moved to Grandpa Mo's side, he didn't come here to seek protection, nor to live up to his old age, what he valued was that here, no one would come to disturb him."
"Since last month, Grandpa Bai has been preparing for today, and inside this transparent bottle is a truncated tail, which was left by Grandma Bai back then."
"Grandma Bai left?" I exclaimed in disbelief, and my whole body trembled slightly from excitement.
I haven't seen Grandma Bai herself, but in Grandpa Bai's study, I saw a portrait of the person in the portrait, but seventeen or eighteen years old, looking delicate and lovely, smiling, with two small pear vortices at the corners of his mouth.
At that time, I chased Grandpa Bai and asked, who is this?
Grandpa Bai looked at the portrait in a daze, as if he had passed through ten thousand years and saw something I couldn't see, and then let out a long sigh: "This is your white grandmother!" ”
Grandpa Bai was brought to Grandma Bai's house, and Grandma Bai was once the inheritor of the White Fox family.
It is said that back then, Grandma Bai was also the number one person in the entire Changbai Mountain, with unprecedented cultivation talent, and she already had eight tails at a young age.
Grandma Bai is a young lady raised in the deep boudoir, trapped in that square courtyard by grandpa's golden wire cage, never showing people, even if she occasionally goes out, she is covered with a veil, which is very mysterious.
In Grandma Bai's youngest and best years, there are only two words - cultivation.
Just because of her good cultivation talent, in the eyes of her grandfather, she can't get in touch with worldly things, let alone seven emotions and six desires, she can only cultivate with one mind, and then successfully ascend to heaven and glorify her ancestors.
But grandpa Tai is on guard, and it is difficult to prevent thieves, he never thought that Grandma Bai had already taken a fancy to her own nursing home, which is now Grandpa Bai.
Grandma Bai silently likes Grandpa Bai, but Grandpa Bai is unconscious, and he also understands that he has a small nursing home, and he can't have any wrong thoughts, and has always abided by his duty.
Until that year, Grandma Bai's birthday took the initiative to hook Grandpa Bai's hand, and from then on, Grandpa Bai's heart gave birth to a cat's paw, scratching his heart once or twice from time to time, which made him almost crazy.
On the one hand, he knew that his identity was very different from that of Grandma Bai, and he should not have any conjectures, on the other hand, they were all young and vigorous young men and women, who were in love at the beginning of their love, and dreamed back at midnight, and there was always a trace of inexplicable feelings in their hearts.
With Grandma Bai's initiative to attack, Grandpa Bai fell inch by inch, until the two fell in love and couldn't extricate themselves.
However, at this time, Grandma Bai accidentally cultivated the ninth tail.
Nine-tails, how many tens of thousands of years does it take for the entire fox clan to produce such an existence, Grandpa Tai was overjoyed, so many years of perseverance have finally paid off, and verified his vicious vision, he was really waiting for the promotion order from the heavenly court.
Heavenly Court's movements were indeed very fast, and it didn't take long for the promotion order to come down, and Grandma Bai was dumbfounded at that time.
And my white grandmother is really not an ordinary person, first of all, on the day the promotion order came down, she refused to accept the promotion order, and was hung and beaten to bedridden by her grandfather; After the promotion order was issued, there was a buffer period of a few days to let the promoted person say goodbye to his relatives, and as a result, Grandma Bai eloped with Grandpa Bai; But after all, she has been raised in the boudoir for many years, even if she runs, she can't run out of the palm of her grandfather's hand, and soon they were arrested by her grandfather, Grandma Bai was placed under house arrest, and Grandpa Bai was imprisoned.
At this point in the story, it should have come to an end, and the ending could only be that Grandma Bai was forced to ascend to heaven and Grandpa Bai was exiled.
But no one expected that on the night of being under house arrest, Grandma Bai cut off the ninth tail and swore that Grandpa Bai would not marry.
Grandpa Tai was so disappointed in this daughter who once made him infinitely beautiful, and in a fit of anger, he separated Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai and exiled them, vowing never to let these two set foot in Changbai Mountain again.
Afterward......
Later, on the way to exile, Grandma Bai suffered a catastrophe, after all, she cut off the Nine Tails and refused to be promoted, which was a blatant confrontation with the Heavenly Court, and punishment was a matter of time.
She almost died under the catastrophe, and was protected by Grandpa Bai who came in a hurry, and the two hard-working people hugged each other to keep warm, and survived the most difficult years.
This is also the reason why my father's health was so bad when he was born, after all, Grandma Bai's body was so devastated, and Grandpa Bai loved me so much, in fact, not only because my parents died early, but also because, in his heart, when he saw me and my father, he would think of these pasts and think of Grandma Bai.
This is his debt to Grandma Bai, good to me, and a kind of compensation for Grandma Bai.
Excellent people, after all, are excellent, after being exiled for many years, Grandpa Tai finally relented and summoned the two to go back, and the raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, and he had to admit the identity of Grandpa Bai.
In order to give Grandma Bai dignity, Grandpa Tai handed over the jade wrench to Grandpa Bai, pushed him to the high position of the patriarch, and took charge of the White Fox clan with Grandma Bai.
But after the catastrophe, Grandma Bai's body was not as good as before, Changbai Mountain died of cold and cold in winter, whenever this time, her old diseases flared up frequently, and finally walked in front of Grandpa Bai, and it was too many years earlier.
Since then, Grandma Bai has become a thorn in Grandpa Bai's heart, he can't touch it, it hurts when he touches it, and many times he misses Grandma Bai too much, so he will lock himself in the study and not come out all day.
The relationship between them can't be said for three days and three nights, and the kind of unforgettable love is not something that everyone can empathize with.
But I didn't expect that the ninth tail that Grandma Bai broke back then would always be in Grandpa Bai's hands, you know, with this ninth tail, plus the hexagonal copper bell he owned, he would have been able to dominate the entire fox clan and become the patriarch.
But he didn't, he just guarded the white fox clan's one-third of an acre of land, and never crossed half a step.
Grandpa Bai is guarding not the white fox clan, but Grandma Bai!
Now he has left this ninth tail to me, and has repeatedly instructed me not to open it until the critical moment, in fact, he still wants to maintain the status quo in his heart, unless it is a last resort.
This ninth tail is the most precious relic left by Grandma Bai in this world, for such a long time, it has been accompanying Grandpa Bai, in Grandpa Bai's eyes, this is not a tool to fight for power, so he has not taken it out.
"As early as more than a month ago, Grandpa Bai sealed his essence into this ninth tail little by little, and the mantra gesture to lift the seal was pressed on the bottom of the brocade box, Sister Bai, we don't have a grandfather anymore."
Yi Tian cried again, and this time she didn't carry me again, but hugged me, crying hoarsely.
The sentence 'We don't have a grandfather anymore' hit my heart hard, and I hugged Yi Tian with my backhand and cried.
……
That night, I sat on the bed, looking at the brocade box in front of me, looking at the two things inside, and I was entangled.
I have already planned to give it to the eldest uncle, when Grandpa Bai is still here, it is the eldest uncle who is managing the entire White Fox clan, and I think he is also worthy of the big responsibility.
What's more important is that if Grandpa Mo really recommends Mo Xianzhen to be the patriarch in the end, the eldest uncle will hold this jade wrench in his hand and keep the power of the White Fox clan in his hands, he should not make trouble.
This ninth tail and the essence of Grandpa Bai sealed in it, it is difficult for me to make a decision.
I don't want to move this ninth tail, I want to treasure it, and when the fox clan is pacified in the future and the grave is moved to Grandpa Bai, I will bury it with Grandpa Bai.
But Grandpa Bai knew that he was dying, and he still left this ninth tail, and his intention can be imagined.
He wanted me to use this ninth tail and the hexagonal copper bell in my own hand to order the entire fox clan to protect itself at a critical moment.
To use, or not to use?
I struggled for a while, and finally closed my eyes and let out a long sigh, the fox clan can't be left without an owner for a day, no matter who stands on the highest position, it will definitely cause a dispute, I don't want the fox clan to compete for the position of the great patriarch, and fall into a crisis of division again in this extraordinary period.
So, this ninth tail must be used, but I don't plan to use it myself, after all, I don't want to be this great patriarch.
As for the sealed Jing Yuan, I will directly take it to Mo Xianye, he needs strength the most now, and Grandpa Bai's cultivation results over hundreds of thousands of years will definitely help him cultivate and attain the Dao.
I leaned against the head of the bed, reached out and stroked my lower abdomen, and with a moment, the child immediately moved and responded to me, as if he had sensed it.
It is very difficult to make these decisions, but I have to do this, Jiu Gu and Grandpa Mo have already told me what they should say, I can't do everything according to my own emotions, I have to take care of the overall situation.
……
Early the next morning, I took out the jade wrench, and then handed the brocade box to Grandpa Mo and told him my decision.
When Grandpa Mo saw the things inside, he was also embarrassed, he and Grandpa Bai grew up together, he knew many things about Grandpa Bai, and of course he also understood the meaning of this ninth tail for Grandpa Bai.
"Li girl, thank you for your deep understanding of righteousness, Grandpa Mo promises that as long as there is a day of the fox clan, the white fox clan will always be courteous." Grandpa Mo said excitedly.
I smiled, feeling a little sad in my heart: "Grandpa Mo, now that the overall situation has been decided, I ...... I'm going to go back to the white fox, and Grandpa Mo is worried about the matter of Mo Xianye. ”
"The fox clan owes you after all." Grandpa Mo sighed, "But Bai Li, the fox clan will always be your home, and after Ah Ye soars, you will walk Changbai Mountain, and you will have no scruples, and the child in your belly will ......." ”
Grandpa Mo looked at me and apologized to me very seriously: "It's Grandpa Mo who can't stand you and the child, and it is Grandpa Mo's fault that he sealed your joy and concealed your pregnancy, but Grandpa Mo's starting point is also for your good, can you understand Grandpa Mo?" ”
"I understand, Grandpa Mo, you don't have to feel guilty, your choice is right, besides, isn't the child okay now." I said.
"This child is the crystallization of you and Ah Ye, and it will also be the existence that you and even our group of people look forward to the most, and when it is born, I will compensate it accordingly." Grandpa Mo promised.
I shook my head: "No, Grandpa Mo, I don't plan to let the child stay in the fox clan, I want to take it out for a walk, I hope you can fulfill us." ”
"However, staying in the fox clan can give it the best cultivation conditions, and with us elders carefully teaching it, it will be easier for it to become a weapon in the future, isn't it?" Grandpa Mo was very puzzled by my decision.
I smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa Mo, I don't want it to be too successful, the path of cultivation and ascension is too difficult, I don't want it to follow the old path of me and his father, I just want him to grow up happily, at the right age, meet a person he likes, get married, have children, and have a full house of children and grandchildren, this is enough." ”
Grandpa Mo hesitated and didn't want me to go, after all, this kid may be the only bloodline left in this world by Mo Xianye, Grandpa Mo must want to take it with him and love him well, and teach him everything he has learned all his life, and even, in the future, I believe that he will have a high status among the fox clan.
But I let him down.
"That's it, if I insist on it, it's really unkind." Grandpa Mo held his forehead, his face full of sadness, "I think, if Ah Ye chooses, he will definitely make the same decision as you, right?" ”
"But glass girl, Grandpa Mo has something I want to tell you, this person, born with a life that can't help himself, he should live as a master in this life, even if he is born with mud algae, there will definitely be a day when he will soar."
"If, I mean, one day, this kid wants to come back to the fox clan himself, you can't stop it."
I nodded: "If there really is such a day, I will respect its choice, Grandpa Mo, then I will go back to the White Fox first." ”
……
I took Yi Tian back to the White Fox Clan, this decision was made in a hurry, but Bai Fuhu still received the news early in the morning and waited for me at the door of the White Fox Clan early.
When he saw me coming back, he raised his feet to greet me, and beckoned us to sit down for breakfast after washing our hands.
At the dinner table, my uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters were there, and the whole family seemed to be waiting for me to come back.
I was surprised, "Uncle, is there anything to announce?" ”
Bai Fuhu shook his head: "I don't want to announce things, but I want to discuss with you how to go down the road of our White Fox clan next." ”
I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, originally I thought that Bai Fuhu wanted to unite everyone in the clan to force me to help him seek the position of the great patriarch, it seems that I thought too much.
"I discussed this matter with Grandpa Mo before I came back, and what Grandpa Mo meant was that before the matter of Longtou Xiang was decided, before the turmoil started, integrate the entire fox clan, elect a great patriarch, and stabilize the morale of the army." I'll be succinct.
Bai Fuhu nodded: "This decision is right, but the key is who will do the position of the great patriarch, of course, we think that it is most suitable for Mo Lao to sit in this position." ”
"Grandpa Mo's decision is to leave the opportunity to the young." I broke the words out little by little, trying to probe the tone of the people.
Bai Fuhu was obviously stunned, probably he didn't expect Grandpa Mo to be so high-spirited.
After all, Grandpa Mo is different from Grandpa Bai, although he is old, his body is still very tough, and his cultivation has not stopped, and he was also able to control the entire Ink Fox clan with ease before, and he was able to give up the position of the great patriarch in such a state and cultivate the younger generation, which is really admirable.
Not everyone can make such a decision so easily.
"The best of the younger generation, only you and Ah Ye, the rest can be ranked on the top of the list, I'm afraid only Ah Zhen is left, Ah Ye is impossible, Li girl, are you going to take over the position of the patriarch?"
As soon as Bai Fuhu exited, he had already excluded himself, my eldest uncle, really had the demeanor of everyone, and he deserved to hand over the White Fox clan to him.
Before I could speak, someone said: "In that position, Sister Bai doesn't sit, and Brother Zhen can't afford that big responsibility, Sister Bai must sit." ”
"Yes, I also think that Brother Zhen is too immature after all, even if Sister Bai doesn't sit, this position shouldn't be sat by Brother Zhen, I think Uncle Zhen is more suitable."
"Yes, Brother Zhen is a junior, and his cultivation level is not top-notch in the clan, so why should he compete with his elders?"
……
Everyone chattered non-stop, and what Grandpa Mo and I were worried about before really came true.
Now it's just that we are discussing this matter in advance, and everyone is already so unconvinced, so if it is really announced that Mo Xianzhen will be the great patriarch, the people below will not make a fuss?
Bai Fuhu slapped the table and said fiercely: "What do you children know? ”
"The dragon head incense is extinguished, Changbai Mountain may be turbulent at any time, and the most important thing in the clan now is civil strife, and if you can't settle down, what can you do to protect the entire clan?"
"Yes, in the clan, I, your second uncle, your third uncle, the black fox, the fire fox, and the major elders, the cultivation level and management level are higher than Ah Zhen, there are many people, if any of us are elected, the others will definitely not be convinced, when the time comes, we will fight, and what is the matter with your group of juniors?"
"The position of the great patriarch can only be done by two types of people, one is like your Grandpa Mo, Ah Ye and Li Yatou, who are strong enough to suppress everyone, and the other is like Ah Zhen, who is growing up and has infinite possibilities of young people to sit, and we old guys work together to assist him, which can keep the stability of the fox clan."
"I don't care about others, in the future, in our White Fox Clan, if anyone dares to provoke a dispute with this matter, then I'm sorry, even if it is my own son, I will not leave him in Changbai Mountain to disturb the morale of the army."
Bai Fuhu blew his nose and glared at his eyes when he said something, and the juniors lowered their heads in fright, and they didn't dare to say anything anymore.
I looked at Bai Fuhu and was moved.
Then he said: "If you compare carefully, in fact, the position of the great patriarch is the most suitable for Mo Xianzhen to sit, but the premise is also as the eldest uncle said, everyone in the clan must work together, which is the most important thing." ”
"I knew that you wouldn't want the position of the patriarch, although it's a pity, but the eldest uncle supports you." Bai Fuhu said sincerely.
I was silent, and then took out the jade wrench, Bai Fuhu looked at the jade wrench, and immediately said with relief: "It turns out that the jade wrench is here with you, when my father was buried, I thought the jade wrench was lost, and Bai was worried." ”
Then he said: "Since the jade wrench finger was left to the glass girl, the glass girl is the patriarch of our White Fox clan, I will gather everyone in the clan and go to the ancestral hall today......"
"No, uncle, I'm going to hand over this jade wrench to you." I handed the jade wrench finger over, "It should belong to you, and only you can lead the entire White Fox Clan farther and farther." ”
Bai Fuhu was stunned, and everyone was also very surprised, I pushed the jade wrench finger in front of Bai Fuhu and said, "I'm not going to stay in Changbai Mountain for too long, and after Mo Xian Ye soars, I will leave here." ”
"Why?" Bai Fuhu was surprised.
I said truthfully: "Uncle, don't forget, I still have a seven-trick exquisite heart in my body, and Mo Yanping is not dead yet, if the dragon head incense can't be rekindled, I stay in Changbai Mountain, and it will be used by Mo Yanping, and if I stay, it will only bring disaster to Changbai Mountain." ”
