Chapter 24: The Deadline Is Approaching
"Grandpa, since what I saw in the Mirage Bureau is true, how the hell did my parents die? Why did I see my mom being taken away by a cloud of black smoke, and my dad was going to die after eating the ginseng? I asked!
That's the one thing I want to know most at the moment.
About the deaths of my father and mother.
They're my closest relatives, and I have to at least find out the real cause of their deaths.
But after listening to my words, my grandfather suddenly fell silent.
His silence made me uncomfortable.
And grandpa's face became solemn, his expression was very complicated, and there seemed to be melancholy, worry, helplessness, and anger in it.
Grandpa didn't answer my question.
"Grandpa, tell me, what the hell are my father and mother......" Before I could finish my sentence, grandpa suddenly interrupted me!
He rubbed himself up from his chair and spoke. "Okay, don't ask, there are some things that I will tell you when you should know. And now, knowing more doesn't do you any good. ”
"But I should know how my mom and dad died, right?" I said anxiously.
"You'll know, but not now." Grandpa gags me with a word.
He didn't seem to want to tell me about my parents.
But why? Is there really something hidden in this?
And the more Grandpa is like this, the more I want to know.
But I knew my grandfather wouldn't tell me.
Seeing the frustration on my face, Grandpa finally sighed again and said in a softened tone. "I'm doing this for your good, you're still too weak now, you're still a weakling, do you understand? So there are some things that don't do you any good at all if you know more. ”
Well, I finally sighed in my heart and stopped dwelling on this issue.
"Grandpa, what now? That Zhang Tiankui wants to harm us! I said!
"Leave this matter to me, I'll take care of it, no intention, from now on, all you have to do is protect yourself and improve your strength." Grandpa said very solemnly!
"You have to protect not only yourself, but also Satsuki." Grandpa said again!
Yes, I will protect Sister Satsuki.
"Unintentionally, some things can't be rushed, if you want to improve your strength, you also need a process. You come with me! With that, Grandpa walked out of the house, and then went around to a staircase on the east side of the house, and walked up the stairs to the second floor.
I hurried after my grandfather.
This staircase was built outside our house and led directly to the attic on the second floor.
But the door to the attic had been locked, and I had the impression that it had barely been opened, and today my grandfather led me to the attic.
Grandpa took out the key, opened the old-looking lock, and pushed the door into the attic.
The attic is only thirty or forty square meters, and to my surprise, it is cleaned up, as if people often come here to clean.
There was a wooden bed by the wall on the left side of the attic, and Grandpa bent down and dragged a wooden box from under the wooden bed, then opened the wooden box and took out a book from it.
"Grandpa, what is this?" I asked! Don't understand why grandpa took me to the attic?
"This is a book about the secrets of yin and yang, unintentional, you are still young, and I don't plan to let you touch these things, the profession of onmyoji is dangerous, and it is easy to be contaminated with cause and effect, and suffer from God's curse, so I actually don't want you to be an onmyoji, I just want you to live a life like an ordinary child, safe and healthy."
There was some emotion in Grandpa's tone, he shook his head gently, sighed, and continued. "But now...... Grandpa has to hand over these things to you, because in this world, there are too many unknown dangers, you have to strengthen your own strength, protect yourself, maybe one day grandpa is not by your side, then everything has to rely on yourself. ”
I think Grandpa is a little sad when he says this, and I also think he has something to say.
"Grandpa, how could you not be by my side? You will always be by my side. I said!
Grandpa said with a free hand, patted me on the shoulder. "Good boy, people will die eventually, and grandpa is not an immortal, how can he stay by your side all the time? Besides, grandpa's deadline is coming. ”
When I heard the last sentence, my head buzzed, and a bad premonition surrounded me at once.
"The limit? What is the limit? I asked!
"It's just that grandpa's time is running out!"
I suddenly understood, is grandpa going to die?
Then I shook my head violently, trying to dispel the thought.
No, it won't, grandpa is alive and well, how can he die? Although he is not young, his body has always been tough.
Grandpa won't die, won't.
"But don't worry, grandpa will help you solve all these troubles before leaving, especially that Zhang Tianhua." Grandpa said!
Then he let out a breath and handed the book to mine. "Okay, don't say so much, let's get down to business, unintentionally, this yin and yang cheats book is not an ordinary book, now I'll give it to you, you take it to you first, with your understanding to understand, to study, if there is something you don't understand, just ask me, and I'll slowly explain and guide you."
I looked down at the book in my hand, the Yin and Yang Secret Book, what the hell is this, is it about what Yin and Yang is about?
Can I improve my strength by learning the things in this book? Can you be as powerful as grandpa?
Although I had never been exposed to yin-yang art, I knew that this book carried my grandfather's hope and could change my destiny at the same time!
So I nodded heavily. "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll take a good look at it."
"Good boy!" Grandpa patted me on the shoulder again, a little relieved on his face.
Then my grandfather and I left the attic, I put the book in my bedroom, and after lunch, I went back to school.
On the way to school, Sister Satsuki's voice came from the soul urn. "Wuxin, I've heard the conversation between you and your grandfather, about your parents, don't think too much about it, let it be. Since grandpa asked you to read that book, then you should read it well and study hard. ”
I nodded, and Sister Xiaoyue said again. "Wuxin, promise me, no matter who bullies you in the future, you won't be weak anymore, including that little overlord and that Wang discipline!"
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyue, no one will want to bully us in the future."
After a while, Sister Satsuki said again. "That Zhang Tiankui won't appear again, right?"
"Grandpa will take care of it, let's be careful."
I arrived at school and had nothing to do in the afternoon.
But after school in the afternoon, I walked out of the campus and got ready to go home.
But when I walked to the crop field, Xiaobawang stopped me with a group of menacing menacing!
The people behind him are also students of our school, all bastards like Xiaobawang, who usually regard him as the king, hugging each other from front to back, just like a bunch of horses around Xiaobawang!
When I saw these people, I knew that the situation was not good, and Xiaobawang was looking for trouble again, but I was not afraid.
"Shi Wuxin, you dare to pretend to be a ghost in the class to scare us?" Little Overlord crossed his hands on his hips and looked at me menacingly.
And I looked at him coldly.
"My dad said that there are no ghosts in this world at all, you must be deliberately pretending to be ghosts, but even if there are real ghosts, we are not afraid, because we have this." As he spoke, the little overlord shook the peachwood sword he was carrying around his neck proudly.
I looked up and saw that the peachwood sword in his neck was quite decent, and then I saw that the other people also had peachwood swords around their necks.
I sneered in my heart, since I said that there are no ghosts in this world, why do I still have a peachwood sword? It can be seen that there is still some weakness in my heart.
"Shi Wuxin, today we all have to see if your little jar is filled with a female ghost? Take out that little jar for me. The little overlord shouted, and the other students immediately surrounded me with a hula.
It's really ridiculous that a 12-year-old kid is like a triad.
"Bring me that little jar." Little Overlord turned his gaze to my pants pocket!
I said. "Don't you think about it!"
My words angered Xiaobawang and the others.
"Wow Shi Wuxin, your guts are getting fatter and fatter, it seems that I won't teach you a lesson, you don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes." The little overlord puffed out his cheeks angrily and waved at the people around him. "Beat him up!"
