Volume 1: Apprentice Onmyoji Chapter 36: The Dark Shadow Under the Locust Tree

The old man was surprised, he didn't expect that the big man in front of him would like this inferior handicraft. Since he asked for it, the old man would definitely not refuse his request.

"Ah, the first ...... Boss, if you like it, just take it! The old man said heartily.

"Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing, a good news, a bad news, which one do you listen to first?" The middle-aged man seemed to really like the plane in his hand, and kept playing with it.

"Let's listen to the bad first!" The old man thought for a moment.

"The bad news is that we have found a medicine that can cure your grandson's condition, but there are strong guards there, and with our current strength, we need to pay a terrible price, and there may be a slight possibility to get it."

The middle-aged man put down the model of the airplane in his hand, looked at the old man and continued: "You also know that our group is in the initial stage, and many things are not perfect, plus those old guys don't believe in some strange things, which makes our group very passive, the progress of the work is very slow, and there are very few special talents beckoned.

For us, these talents are all baby bumps, and it is very distressing for me to lose any of them. What's more, it is impossible and unrealistic to participate in activities without much criticism and save your grandson from the perspective of the future of the country. From my personal point of view, I am very willing to participate, even if I lose my life, after all, my life was saved by you back then, and it is nothing to return it to you now. “

The middle-aged man stopped at this point and looked directly at the old man.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

The old man was not surprised at all, and signaled to the middle-aged man what he needed him to do, and he did not hesitate at all to save his grandson's life, even if he might take his own name.

"You are my senior, when you participated in the Anti-Japanese War, I was still peeing my pants, and I didn't dare to bother you with my old age, but the group construction has not been supported and recognized by the above, which makes me have a headache."

The middle-aged man casually picked up the book on the bookshelf and flipped through two pages, and continued: "There are a few big people on it, they are your comrades-in-arms, I think if you can say a few good words, I believe we will reduce a lot of trouble." ”

The old man frowned, pondering the difficulty of this matter, and the middle-aged man didn't bother, quietly looking at the book "A Sword Chang'an" in his hand, and when he saw the interesting part, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Okay, I can try, as for whether it can succeed or not, it's not up to me to control, although we are comrades-in-arms, they have to think about the problem from the perspective of the country, if you want me to say this, then please forgive me for not being able to do anything." The old man thought for a moment.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we do our best, the result doesn't matter. Those countries on the periphery have their own special institutions, and if we don't have them, we are bound to suffer. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, one step first, one step first, one step late, one step late.

"I understand all of this, but the beginning of every career is not easy, take your time, I believe that you will succeed boss." The old man cheered up the middle-aged man.

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about the good news, with great effort, we found that place, and I also brought drugs that can temporarily suppress the condition, and the condition can be effectively controlled in a short period of time."

"Really?" The old man was pleasantly surprised.

"It is a three-part poison, although it can be suppressed and, but there will be a small side effect, that is, taking this medicine will lose part of the memory, and the memory here is random, depending on the mood at the time.

The stronger the emotion, the greater the possibility of losing the memory at that time, but as long as you are alive, there is every possibility to get the memory back. “

Putting down the books in his hand, the middle-aged man took out a delicate blue medicine box from his pocket, gently put it on the table, then picked up the model airplane on the table, and said with a smile: "I won't be polite to you, and then I won't disturb you to reunite with your family, I still have a task, so I'll leave first." ”

Middle-aged men come and go in a hurry!

No one except the old man knew how he got here or how he left, and if it weren't for the disappearance of the model airplane on the table, no one would have noticed that someone had ever been here.

The old man picked up the blue pill box tremblingly, and suddenly heard a familiar shout outside the door, the old man hurriedly put it in his pocket, and walked out with a smile: "Stinky boy, why are you here now, labor and management are almost waiting to die, come and accompany me for two plates." ”

Xu Shiying chased away the poodle and walked around the path to the back of the yard, where the houses in the seventies and eighties were covered with glass shards, which was the earliest anti-theft measure, although simple but very effective, the slightest carelessness would cut the palm of the hand.

It's just that who is Xu Shiying? Will you be stumped by this little thing?

Apparently impossible!

Three times five divided by two pulled out the glass fragments on the wall, Xu Shiying turned into the yard, and his footsteps were a little loud when he landed, fortunately Grandpa didn't have a puppy or a kitten or something, otherwise he would have been exposed.

Everything in the courtyard was familiar to him, and in order to know what was going on in his lost memories, he had to find a place to hide before he was discovered, and then find a chance to hear something, he had a hunch that something unexpected would happen in this dream.

Even if you're lucky, you can even know the identity of the owner behind the scenes, and since the dream maker let him come, he must have a purpose, and he wants to see what happens next.

As soon as his ears moved, he heard the lively sound in the front yard, Xu Shiying guessed that it was his father and mother that they came back, for the parents since they grew up, because of their work, the two of them have very little time to meet, both of them are archaeologists, and most of the time every year is going on, digging! Dig! Dig!

A few years ago, the more famous archaeological topic said that Cao Cao's tomb was found, and among the archaeologists involved were his parents, and his parents were really busy, probably after the grandparents were gone.

Father and son are connected, he can perceive what is the reason why his father is busy with work, and many times he doesn't say it, not because he doesn't understand, but because he understands, he doesn't say it.

For this reason, Xu Shiying never blamed his parents for being busy with work, but more grateful and grateful, at least he didn't worry about life.

Looking around, a large water tank for pickles attracted his attention, Xu Shiying's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly hid in, and did not forget to cover the lid before he came, in order to avoid suffocating himself, he deliberately left a little gap for himself, so that he could breathe, and second, he could observe the situation outside.

Through the cracks, the old man pulled a man to sit down and play chess, and the little boy who was taller than the last time he saw running around the yard.

The courtyard was very lively, there was a lot of talking and laughing, Xu Shiying hid in the tank and showed a look of envy, the gate was open, Xu Shiying caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing in front of the door, as if it stopped in front of the locust tree in front of the door for a few seconds, and the black shadow turned his head and seemed to sense the existence of Xu Shiying, grinned, and then left here.

Xu Shiying had the intention to chase it, but now he was hiding in the tank, and he couldn't go out to investigate, which would expose his existence, although he didn't know what would happen once it was exposed, but Xu Shiying tried to avoid bad things from happening.

The black image outside the door seemed to be on the bar with him, and his expression was provocative and wanted to deliberately provoke Xu Shiying to come out, how could Xu Shiying be fooled so easily, and naturally he would not go out as soon as his brain was hot like a child.

The black shadow came to the back of the locust tree, as if it was one with the locust tree, and Xu Shiying noticed that the black shadow had placed something on the locust tree, which was too far away to see clearly, and could vaguely be seen like a black box.

Xu Shiying saw the black shadow and didn't know how to use it, so he stuffed the black box into the locust tree, leaving not even a trace, as if the black box was already integrated with the locust tree.

"Don't make a sound, listen up!"

Xu Shiying was observing, every move of the black shadow, and the locust tree planted at the door felt abnormal, and the black box was stuffed into the locust tree to make him feel suspicious.

Suddenly, he heard someone talking in his ear, and he looked up to lift the lid to see who it was, but the lid was pressed hard and his face could not be seen.

"That locust tree has been cursed, and from today on, it will consciously suck blood, so that it will become more and more powerful, and the locust tree has been known as an evil existence since ancient times, and if it is not stopped, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, there are disadvantages and advantages, after this thing sucks a lot of blood, it will produce blood jade in the body, and blood jade is a great tonic for some people with special bloodlines.

Even for cultivators, having a blood jade will greatly increase their power in a short period of time, and it is a rare treasure.

"You have to find a way, get the black box, and then hand it over to me, otherwise, I will not only kill you, but also kill your loved ones, don't think about resisting, I know who you are, if you are obedient, maybe the ending will change~"

Xu Shiying's body was shaken, who is this person? Why do you know everything about him, to be honest, he thinks that he is the only person behind the dream creation when he comes here, but he hasn't found any clues since the beginning.

"Are you ......?"

Xu Shiying guessed that this person was the black hand who asked him to come here, but this was the dream he created, even if the ending changed?

He will not be easily coerced, Xu Shiying struggled to break free, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift the lid in the slightest.

The mysterious man is very strong, and he can't even use the strength to eat milk, Xu Shiying said helplessly: "What do you want to do?" ”

"Don't you want to know, why did your grandfather have a piece of blood jade? And he also gave you this piece of blood jade, and asked you to put it away, this piece of blood jade is very important. But you lost the blood jade because of playing, and your grandfather was angry, and he had three months to live, but he was angry with you.

Don't you want to know, why does your grandfather care so much about this blood jade? And the origin of the locust tree, even if grandpa is an atheist, planting a beautiful locust tree at the door of his house, is it not very beautiful? “

"What the hell is your purpose?" Xu Shiying said calmly.

"When you get the black box, I will naturally tell you, remember before sunset, you must get it, otherwise, no one can guarantee what will happen to your grandfather's family~"
