Chapter 225: Inheritance
As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew out of the grave, and then, holding the ghost baby, Liao Yuting, who was dressed in a shroud, floated out of the grave like a piece of paper, and quickly grew larger against the wind, and finally became an ordinary person and floated on the grave.
The moment she saw her parents, two brothers, and Pan Guanghai a few meters away, the yin qi on Liao Yuting's body fluctuated violently, lasting for more than ten seconds, before gradually stabilizing, and then looked at me, as well as Xiao Qinghe and the white-faced scholar who were always next to me, and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you." ”
Xiao Qinghe smiled lightly and said softly: "No thanks, this is what we should do, hurry up and prepare your mood, show up to meet your family, don't forget, try to control your emotions as much as possible, don't scare them, and don't make them too sad." ”
After speaking, the long sword was unsheathed and waved lightly, and a thin layer of fluorescence suddenly appeared on Liao Yuting's soul, making her look a little more real.
Still grateful, after looking at us for a few seconds, Liao Yuting nodded seriously.
At this time, she has not really manifested herself, so she can see her family, but they can't see her for a while. Seeing that she was ready, I didn't say anything anymore, turned back to Liao Shangzhou's family, and saw that they had calmed down from the gust of wind that blew out of the grave just now, and asked softly, "Are you ready?" If you're ready, I'll let Yuting come out now and let you see it. ”
Liao Shangzhou nodded seriously and said that he was ready.
Then I looked at Liao Yuting's two brothers, and their mother, and after they all nodded, I took a few steps back to the side, turned my head to look at Liao Yuting, and signaled that she could come out.
After another cold wind blew, Liao Yuting really appeared in front of her family, holding her child, standing in front of the tombstone, draped in a faint fluorescent light.
Liao Shangzhou's family of four, and Pan Guanghai, who stayed quietly and looked particularly lonely, shook his body suddenly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Liao Yuting with a brush.
Then only hearing the sound of "wow", Liao Yuting's mother burst into tears, broke away from the hands of her two sons, and rushed towards Liao Yuting.
Fortunately, I had long thought that she might have such a move, so I was prepared in advance, and hurriedly strode in front of her, pulled her and said softly: "Auntie, I can understand your feelings, but now, please don't get excited, Yuting has just come out, and the yin energy on her body is still unstable, if you rush up like this, if you get too close to her, the yang energy will conflict with Yuting's yin energy, which is not good for you and her." So now, please bear with me for a while, talk first, and wait for Yuting to stabilize, and it's not too late to get closer. ”
Hearing my words, Liao Shangzhou's father and son suddenly changed their faces, knowing that this was not a joke, they hurriedly came up and pulled her again.
Although the grief was unbearable and emotional, the mother did not completely lose her mind, she could still listen to her words, hearing that rushing over like this would not be good for her daughter, she immediately restrained herself, looked at Liao Yuting with a soft body, crying unspeakably sad, and gradually improved after a while.
At this time, seeing that her mother's mood began to stabilize, Liao Yuting also approached them a little, and the fluctuating yin qi on her body, and the yin wind like the surrounding water waves, also fully showed that the fluctuations in her heart were also very large.
But compared to her mother, she is much better off with other family members, at least she can restrain herself and maintain a calm appearance.
After walking closer to her family and stopping to stare at them for a while, Liao Yuting finally broke the silence and called out what she once thought would never be heard again.
"Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, you are here."
This sound of parents immediately called the mother, who had just gotten a little better, to cry bitterly, and the father also had red eyes and a sore nose, covered his face and squatted down and began to wipe his tears, whimpering in a low voice.
And the two elder brothers, at this time, also supported their mother with red eyes.
Pan Guanghai, on the other hand, did not move abnormally, just looked at Liao Yuting seriously and sluggishly, as if an amnesiac patient had seen a very familiar person, but he didn't feel like he knew him.
It wasn't until Liao Yuting moved her gaze to him little by little that she shook lightly and began to break away from the daze.
"You............ Also coming? Speaking softly, Liao Yuting's expression was indescribably complicated.
The body shook again, Pan Guanghai came to his senses, and quickly nodded messily: "Well, I'm here, I haven't seen you for a long time, you, are you okay?" ”
Looking at him in an extremely complicated manner, Liao Yuting did not speak again.
Looking at him in a daze, Pan Guanghai realized that he had asked something completely inappropriate, and suddenly became even more messy, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Liao Yuting again.
Knowing that there is an outsider like me present, whether it is Liao Shangzhou's family, Pan Guanghai, or Liao Yuting, even if there are thousands of words in my heart, it will be difficult to say it for a while. So after seeing that the yin qi on Liao Yuting's body had gradually stabilized, and after telling her a few words about the places to pay attention to, I left the cemetery and completely gave up the place to the family.
I believe that this girl can control herself well and there will be no accidents.
The white-faced scholar wanted to stay, but I didn't think it was necessary, so I beckoned him to leave with him.
Although in fact, I am the only living person who can see it, Liao Shangzhou's family and Pan Guanghai, who are completely unaware of its existence and Xiao Qinghe, but there is no need for this at all.
Anyway, he won't be too far away, with Xiao Qinghe here, even if there is an accident, he will be able to react quickly.
In that case, it is better to simply leave and let them have plenty of room to speak.
"Just quit like this, give them the place, and don't ask at all, aren't you worried at all?" After coming to the bottom of the grave, walking back along the original road of the canal, out of the mountain bay, and coming to the mouth of the grave where the grave can no longer be seen, Xiao Qinghe asked me softly, in a very relaxed tone, with some jokingness.
"What is there to worry about, what should be said and what you want to say has been made clear, and then just wait for her to convince her parents, this is basically a matter of course, so I am naturally relieved, and then ......" smiled lightly at Xiao Qinghe, I said: "...... With Sister Qinghe here, I don't have to worry about it at all, there will be other accidents. ”
"I know, the chances of an accident happening are low, I mean, aren't you worried that she can't convince her parents, or isn't she curious what they're going to say?" Xiao Qinghe smiled.
The whole thing, as long as I knew it, I had already told her, including the first time I met the old wizard, and he advised me to stay out of the matter and not get involved in the dispute between the two families, so she naturally knew that the Liao family may also be partially responsible for why things have come to this point.
Shaking my head slightly, I smiled helplessly, and after thinking about it, I said, "Sister Qinghe, to say that I am not curious at all, it is impossible. I actually wanted to know what her family had done in the first place, but how to say it......"
After a pause and a gentle breath, I added, "I really wanted to know, but after thinking about it, I suddenly didn't want to know." In my opinion, even if her mother's family really did something at that time, it was definitely not intended to harm people's lives, and the development of things to the extent that they are now is definitely not what they want to see, so in the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with them, and the biggest responsibility does not lie with them. ”
"If that's the case, then why should I be curious, why should I want to know? Now, the only thing I want is that she can convince her father to agree to let us open the coffin, find a new place to bury us, and put this matter to an end, and it doesn't matter if I know that......"
After saying that, I couldn't help but let out a small breath, as if I had let go of something, and then grinned at the corner of my mouth.
After staring at me with a light smile for a while, Xiao Qinghe nodded and said, "That's fine, if you don't want to know, then you don't know, it's not a big deal." ”
I smiled and nodded.
Seeing that we seemed to have finished speaking, the white-faced scholar who had been listening to it all the time was a little foggy, and finally couldn't help but interject, scratching his head and puzzled: "Sister Qinghe, young master, what are you talking about?" Why don't I seem to understand? ”
Xiao Qinghe smiled lightly and said: "It's nothing, we actually didn't say anything, if you don't understand it, then you can't understand it." ”
As soon as he heard this, the white-faced scholar suddenly became even more foggy, looked at us blankly, and knew that Xiao Qinghe and I would not explain anything to it anymore, so he seemed to understand "oh", and simply stopped asking.
As she spoke, the direction of Liao Yuting's grave in Shanwan, her mother's crying, had disappeared unconsciously, and was replaced by faintly heard words from time to time.
After listening intently for a while, and after making sure that everything was normal, Xiao Qinghe and I continued to talk to pass the time.
"As for that, it may be the strange spirit of the "Yan Golem" you mentioned, I still haven't found her trace again, but don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this, and as long as she reappears, I won't let her slip away again. After talking aimlessly for a while, Xiao Qinghe's words changed sharply and said a little seriously.
Knowing that she had already made a decision and would not give up because of my few words, I nodded and agreed after a slight pause.
"Okay, since that's the case, then this matter will trouble you, Sister Qinghe, but I still say that, don't delay your affairs too much because of my relationship. After all, so far, that strange soul is only a little bit likely to be a "puppet", and your task is so arduous, if I delay too much time, the cycle will be much longer. "In the final analysis, I'm just guessing that the strange soul may be a puppet, and there is no evidence at all, if it is just because of an unfounded guess, let Xiao Qinghe waste too much energy on it, I can't be a little unhappy.
Xiao Qinghe smiled, then nodded.
"By the way, did you say that this faction you belong to is called "Painting Spirit"? ”
Hearing Xiao Qinghe ask this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at her.
Although I have never kept my identity as a "painter of the spirit heir" a secret, and even in the past few years, I have sometimes cooperated with Luo Wenxin and used my identity as a "billboard" to obtain money, but in my memory, I should not have told Xiao Qinghe about my identity as a descendant of the spirit, and there is no reason to tell her this, after all, no matter how kind she is, she is still a ghost, even if I have the heart to "show off" this identity, there is no reason to show off to her.
So, how did she know the word "painting spirit"? Could it be that I told her unintentionally?
In the final analysis, the painting spirit school has not been carried forward from beginning to end, even in the most glorious period, it is only a break from Taoism, the real establishment of a sect, experienced a period of a wide range of disciples, compared with the orthodox sect, it is still far behind, there is no foundation at all, it is completely too late to form a fixed doctrine to spread, in the suppression of orthodox Taoism, ruthlessly crushed, there is no chance to spread out. If it weren't for the founding patriarch, I would really be reluctant to shed this life's hard work in vain, the original Taoism, there were also many people who appreciated him to help each other secretly, but I was afraid that it would have completely disappeared into the dust of history at that time, and there would be no chance to pass it on at all.
For thousands of years, the painting spirit school has always been only a single lineage, and the heads of the past generations have only followed the legacy of the ancestors, maintaining the slightest spark of this star, and passing it down from generation to generation, never daring to cross the thunder pool. Even later, Taoism itself became fragmented and derived such and such factions, and no one paid attention to it anymore, our faction called "Painting Spirit", the heads of the past generations, still kept the oath of the ancestor that the original line was passed down and never spread.
Although when I first learned some of the history of the inheritance of the Painting Spirit School from the old man, I couldn't figure it out: since Taoism is no longer restricted, and even our faction has long been forgotten, why do you still choose to pass it on alone, and an oath is so important? But at the same time, my heart is still very shocked.
As I grow up a little bit and become more mature in my thinking, I feel more and more that this is an extremely difficult thing.
From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many things have been submerged in the long river of history, but from the beginning of the school, the painting spirit has been passed down in a single line, but it has survived in the great waves of history, and it has not been broken until my generation. It has to be said that this is an extremely amazing feat and a miracle.
Although it is not really known.
