Chapter 35: The Soul Lamp
I was stunned, now there are hundreds of people in our village, at least most of them are ordinary people, if according to what the Thirteenth Master said, it must not be long before the environment here will change, at that time, we are all trapped here and can't get out, and the people outside can't come in to rescue, do we have to wait here for death?
At this time, I suddenly remembered the expulsion order issued by the Ghost Emperor to my Zheng family.
The reason why the Ghost Emperor issued an expulsion order to my Zheng family was entirely because those people who wore linen and filial piety made stumbling blocks in the middle and said things that were unfavorable to my Zheng family, and I guessed that those people should be the people of Tianji Mansion.
And the people of Tianji Mansion want our Zheng family to be destroyed the most, but since they want my Zheng family to be destroyed, then why did they make a stumbling block in the middle, causing the Ghost Emperor to want to expel my Zheng family from Xiaoyudu?
Now that the door connecting Xiao Yu with the outside world has been closed, and the best way to destroy my Zheng family is to trap my Zheng family here, and then they can even achieve their goal without bloodshed, but why did they do the opposite and expel my Zheng family?
I expressed the doubts in my heart, and the thirteenth master picked his feet when he heard the words, and finally put his finger in front of his nose and sniffed before saying, "This is the balance of the Tianji Mansion." Zheng Yi, my Zheng family is not as weak as you think, if my Zheng family is forced to be anxious, and hundreds of old guys wake up together, then even the Tianji Mansion will have to weigh it, so they don't dare to force our Zheng family to be anxious, so they can only make a deal with the Ghost Emperor, hoping to drive away my Zheng family. They also know that my Zheng family will never take that thing outside, so when our Zheng family is expelled, they can get that thing. ”
I nodded when I heard this, and said in my heart that this Tianji Mansion is really tricky, but since the Ghost Emperor has issued an expulsion order to my Zheng family, why didn't those evil ghosts go to our village to drive people out?
The Thirteenth Master seemed to see the doubts in my heart, and said with a smile: "Do you think that the Ghost Emperor is a fool?" That thing was also very important to him, and even determined whether he could cultivate to the Ninety-Five Supreme and be crowned the Ghost Emperor. And he is not sure who will win in this battle at all, if he does not have any affection for my Zheng family, then my Zheng family will be forced to fight with Tianji Mansion completely, if the final winner is my Zheng family, then guess my Zheng family will go to the Ghost Emperor to settle this account? ”
"However, after all, he issued an expulsion order to our Zheng family!" I'm a little puzzled, according to what the Thirteenth Master said, since the Ghost Emperor is also jealous of my Zheng family, why do you want to expel the Zheng family?
"Hehe, although he issued a wanted warrant, has our Zheng family been expelled until now? The expulsion order is just a show for the Tianji Mansion! The thirteenth master picked his feet and noses, he didn't look like an ancestor at all, I covered my face when I saw this, but he flicked his fingers and continued: "This is also where the Ghost Emperor is smart, he did this, neither offended the Tianji Mansion, nor did he do too much to my Zheng family, in the end, whether my Zheng family kept that thing, or Tianji Mansion seized that thing, what should be given to the Ghost Emperor will not be owed." ”
When I heard this, I was secretly speechless, and I said in my heart that this ghost emperor's scheming was too heavy.
He did this, both sides of the country should not be offended, and in the end, the good people on both sides of him, whoever won would give him the benefits he deserved, this is completely a deal to protect the harvest from drought and flood!
It's no wonder that those evil ghosts didn't chase down Dongshan and enter the village, it turned out that the Ghost Emperor didn't really want to expel my Zheng family at all.
In this case, then Zheng Ke should also be safe, after all, Zheng Ke is the bloodline of my Zheng family, if there is a three-long and two-short one in Dongshan, he will have a mortal enmity with my Zheng family.
Thinking of this, my heart was overjoyed, but the thirteenth master immediately poured a basin of cold water on me, and said: "Don't be happy too early, the ghost emperor knows my Zheng family very well, so he knows that Zheng Ke is just your father Zheng Chuanshen's child outside, and his bloodline is not particularly good, according to his thoughts, after the Zheng family has such an excellent descendant as you, Zheng Ke is a dispensable person for the Zheng family." Therefore, he may really kill Zheng Ke as a sincerity to cooperate with Tianji Mansion! ”
After hearing the words of the thirteenth master, I was directly stunned, I only felt that my heart trembled and trembled, and I opened my mouth and said, "Doesn't that mean, Zheng Ke...... Dead? ”
"Not really, at least, he's still alive!" After the Thirteenth Master finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and after a while he opened his eyes and said, "I can still feel the Zheng family bloodline in his body, which means that he is still alive, but his vital signs are very weak, and he seems to be seriously injured." ”
"He's still alive?" My eyes lit up when I heard this, and I grabbed the hand of the thirteenth master in a hurry, and said: "Thirteenth master, you must save Zheng Ke, he was trapped in Dongshan because he saved me, if it weren't for him, it might be me who is trapped there now!" ”
But to my surprise, the Thirteenth Master shook his head and said, "I can't go!" ”
"Why?" My face was lost, and my heart sank to the bottom.
Could it be that Zheng Ke is really a dispensable person for the Zheng family?
But, after all, Zheng Ke's body has the blood of the Zheng family flowing in his body, how to say, he is also a member of the Zheng family, could it be that the ancestor of the Zheng family can die without saving him because his bloodline is not good enough?
The thirteenth master sighed and said: "The child fights, and if he can't fight, he will come back to find the old one, if the old one goes, will the other party also go back to find the old one?" ”
Although the Thirteenth Master said it very windingly, I instantly understood what he meant.
Now, it's just the fight between our Zheng family juniors and those little ghosts, in the eyes of these people, even if it is a small fight, but if my Zheng family ancestor participates in it, the nature will change, and if it is completely stiff with the ghost emperor at that time, it will definitely not be good for my Zheng family.
"What then?" I looked lost, and said in my heart, can I just watch Zheng Ke die in Dongshan?
"Although I can't go, you can go, Zheng Chuanshen's such a smart grandson, why did he give birth to you's stupid great-grandson!" He shook his head in disgust, and then said, "You come with me!" ”
With that, he got up and grabbed my arm, and then his figure flashed, and he jumped directly into the ancestral tomb along a large hole.
He led me all the way down the cloister, and after walking for about a few minutes, I saw him pause and take a lamp from the wall.
This lamp looks extremely ordinary, and there are a lot of hangings at both ends of the corridor in front of me, I am a little puzzled when I see this, what is the thirteenth master doing with this thing for me?
"This is the soul-attracting lamp, lighting this lamp can make the lonely souls and wild ghosts on the East Mountain not see you, if Zheng Ke loses his vital signs, then this lamp can also temporarily protect Zheng Ke's soul from dissipating. You can go up to Dongshan with this lamp and bring Zheng Ke back. He handed me the lamp and said, "But remember, you must not let the fire go out, for if it is extinguished, the demons will find you, and you will be hunted down by the demons." ”
I nodded when I heard this, took the soul-attracting lamp and looked at it carefully, and found that this thing was similar to the oil lamp of the past, but the shape was more primitive and the material was bronze. And the wick in the middle turned out to be red, as if the wick was not stained with oil, but with blood.
Could it be that this is an oil lamp fueled by blood?
I couldn't help but feel excited, the thirteenth master didn't say anything when he saw this, just took me back along the way I came, and when he took me out of the ancestral grave, he said to me: "Go, if Zheng Ke is too seriously injured, you can bring him here, rest assured, no matter how seriously Zheng Ke is injured, you thirteenth master I will have a way to bring him back to life!" ”
I nodded heavily when I heard this, and then I didn't delay any longer, turned around and ran quickly towards Dongshan.
I ran fast all the way, and it only took me half an hour to reach the foot of Dongshan Mountain.
At this moment, it was pitch black on the east mountain, it could be said that he couldn't see his five fingers, and in the darkness, there were terrifying howls from time to time, which made people's hearts hairy and cold all over their bodies.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead, then took out a lighter and lit the soul-attracting lamp, and after taking a deep breath and calming down, I walked towards the mountain with the soul-attracting lamp in my hand.
