"I, what did my grandfather say?" I swallowed.

"Your grandfather said ......"

The old man suddenly seemed to have amnesia, and he muttered for a long time before he sighed and said, "I forgot." ”

I almost choked on a mouthful of blood, and then I saw the old man muttering: "At that time, he was only in his twenties, and it seems that the Jiuquan River Patrol was actually a scam set up by Jiuquan Mansion for the Bai family after the ancient battlefield of the Yellow River, the purpose is to temporarily suppress the Bai family's ambition to covet the Yellow River gall, and when the Jiuquan Mansion completely controls the Yellow River gall, then there will be no need for the Bai family to exist." ”

"Yellow River gall?"

I was slightly stunned, and said incredulously: "What is the Yellow River gall, and what does it have to do with the Bai family?" ”

The old man shook his head: "Not many people know about the Yellow River Gall, and basically all of them have been controlled by the Jiuquan Mansion, but according to the news I have heard over the years as the Jiuquan River Patrolman, the Yellow River Gall should be a thing, a thing related to the biggest secret of the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs." ”

"Secret?"

I'm a little confused, the nine prisons and nine springs are born with the sun and the moon, the heaven and the earth grow together, the nine rivers correspond to the world's nine states, the division is in charge of the return of the soul, reincarnation, if it really has any secrets, could it be related to reincarnation?

But reincarnation is a thing, it can't be seen or touched, all cause and effect, it is destined in the dark, how can it be the same thing to change or sway, and Jiuquan Mansion is already the biggest controller of Jiuquan Jiuquan, what else is there here that they can't get, why bother so much to go to the trouble of an ethereal thing?

"You've been to the Yellow River Ancient Road, haven't you?"

The old man suddenly spoke at this moment, pulling me back from my thoughts.

"I've been." I nodded in response.

"You've seen the people in the ancient road, right?" The old man asked again.

I nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"So do you think they're humans or ghosts?"

The old man stopped me in a word, recalling all the experiences in the ancient road, the mountains and rivers, the towns and ferries, the residents, everything seemed to return to a specific dynasty, the most important thing is that it has an independent medical history, but it is completely connected with the nine prisons and nine springs or even the above, it is difficult to define whether it is a special space, or an unknown place.

"The appearance of the Yellow River Ancient Road was inadvertently discovered after the end of the smoke of the Yellow River Ancient Battlefield, and the people you see living in it are all flesh and blood living people, who will get sick and die, but there is one thing that everyone cannot fathom."

"What is it?" I was shocked.

"Keep the memories of past lives."

The old man glanced at me lightly and said, "For those who are there, death can be understood as a kind of rebirth, a kind of rebirth that retains the memories of their previous lives, so the people there are not afraid of death at all. ”

"Impossible!"

I didn't even think about it and denied: "If you are not afraid of death, why is there a murderous quack Yan Buhuan, since you can retain your memory and be reborn, you can simply die directly, why bother to go to such a bother, and agree to such harsh conditions to seek healing, you must have heard it wrong, it is impossible." ”

The old man didn't seem to want to argue with me, so he sighed softly and said, "If you were to die now, and the condition was to keep the memory of this life, would you agree?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "No, I still have a lot of things to do, and time can't wait for me." ”

But then he said, "But for most people, I think I can." ”

The old man nodded: "That's right, for most people, maybe this is a rare opportunity, a chance to really be a human being in two lives and start their lives again, but if the price of rebirth in this way is to reduce the longevity in the next life, and the time to live is getting shorter and shorter, until finally facing real death, do you still think that such an opportunity will be abused by others?" ”

"And no one can control the time of reincarnation, maybe it's a day, it may be a year, it may be ten years, even if you have the memories of your past life from the beginning of your birth, but what those memories can help you with, it's two words."

"Things are not people."

I was silent for a long time, and then the word came out of my mouth.

"Yes, things are people, especially for those who hold a lot of power in their hands, or who have cultivated a body, just keeping the memories of their past lives and facing death directly, this condition is far from enough, and the vast majority of people you just said will not go to Yan Buhuan, cumin, no worries, death will die, what are you afraid of."

The old man's words made my heart tremble, and a figure of a man appeared in my mind.

Wei Junyao.

"The Yellow River Ancient Road is a very magical place, the living have no love, and there is no mourning after death, it is the place where everyone rushes to yearn for it, where there live a lot of old people who can not forget the past life, just like the lover who has been waiting for you for a thousand years, the thirteenth generation of resentful couples, maybe only in that place will be born."

The shock in my heart was incomprehensible, but after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't help asking: "Then what does this have to do with the Yellow River gall?" ”

"Because in the ancient road of the Yellow River, the breath of the Yellow River is permeated everywhere."

The old man's words were shocking again, and I felt that my brain was a little insufficient, so I muttered: "You want to say that it was the Yellow River gall that affected the reincarnation of the people inside?" ”

"Perhaps." The old man said lightly: "This is the only place that people know about the Yellow River gall at present, the outbreak of the ancient battlefield of the Yellow River at that time was because of the Yellow River gall, and there were very few people who survived that war, and a lot of information was only passed down by mouth in the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, and the true meaning of the Yellow River gall may only be known by those old guys in the Nine Springs Mansion." ”

I took a deep breath and tried my best to calm down my emotions, from the short time I saw this old man, I haven't been able to digest the content that came out of his mouth until now, and after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't help but ask: "Then, what about my father, why do you say that he is not dead, is it also that he has also been affected by the Yellow River gallbladder, and can go to reincarnation with the memory of this life?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "It's been too long, and I forgot when I was divining for you, and in the hexagrams presented at that time, in addition to you, although your grandfather and your father will die, your father is not dead in prison." ”

"Where is that?" I was amazed.

"Execution ground."

"Your father's last hexagram is located in the Qian, that is, in the northwest, the nine prisons and nine springs are corresponding to the nine states of the world, the nine prisons are divided into nine directions, except for the town of Yuquan Prison, the other eight are facing the eight directions of the world, the Yaquan Prison Lord is not in the temple, and the town is located in the north; The Huangquan Prison Lord took the water and crossed the soul of death, and the town was located due south; The lord of the Cold Spring Prison took the water monster of the rivers and lakes, and the town is located due west; The lord of Yinquan Prison takes blood and eats the evil god, and the town is located due east; The lord of Youquan Prison is vicious in the mountains and forests, and the town is located in the northeast; The lord of Xiaquan Prison took the ancient corpse, and the town was located in the southeast; The chief regent of the Bitter Spring Prison is a witch rebel ghost, and the town is located in the southwest; The head of the Mingquan Prison was sentenced to death, and the town was located in the northwest, and the execution of the criminal law in Jiuquan Mansion was the guillotine of the Mingquan Prison, the cadre position, and the northwest. ”

The old man's faint words set off a storm in my heart, and I was stunned for most of the day before I said incredulously: "What about my grandfather?" ”

"Departure, due south, Yellow Springs."

My whole body had already begun to tremble violently with the old man's words, and muttered, "But my father is dead, and I have seen it with my own eyes, can it be that I can come back from the dead?" ”

"People can be duplicitous, but the hexagram will not lie, the three money hexagram will always end, if it is really wrong, there will be clues from your grandfather, but it turns out that everything is developing according to the omen of the hexagram, so what you see may not be true, go to Zero Rain City alone to rob the most important prisoner in the world, your father will not die, I am afraid that you will not get out of the world at this time, right?"

The old man stood up as he spoke, walked to the fire with the oil lamp, took off the cover, and led the lamp to the side of the fire, and when the faint flame touched the damp firewood, it was as if it had been poured with oil, and with a loud sound it ignited a raging fire, and the humid air around it was suddenly dispersed, reflecting the whole situation in the cave.

I don't care about anything else at this time, and all I have in my mind is what my father looked like when he died.

Dad bit his tongue and committed suicide at that time, just to force me to leave, judging from the speed at which the Shura knife chased at that time, it is indeed as the old man said, one step slower will be in a different place, but Dad's death is what I saw with my own eyes, if only I was wrong, but the wolf demon and the red carp and others also followed suit?

"Don't bother too much, yes or no, wait until the day of the beheading, everything will be known."

The old man had already put the lampshade back on when he spoke, and walked around the cave with the oil lamp, waiting for me to come to my senses, looking at the figure of the old man, with the flash of the oil lamp in his hand, a shriveled corpse appeared around the cave, neatly lined up, and the empty eyes stared at a position at the same time, I.

My hair was about to explode, and I subconsciously took two steps back, but after I reacted, I stared at the old man in shock and said, "These are all Bai family members? ”

The old man nodded, returned to the fire with the oil lamp, sat down cross-legged, sighed and said: "I will come to see them every once in a while, I am afraid that there will be mosquitoes, ants, snakes and insects to disturb their rest, if your grandfather has not prepared in advance, I am afraid that among these corpses, there will be another Bai family member as a companion." ”

Looking at these corpses, my head was like paste, and I was stunned for a long time, and muttered, "You carried them here?" ”

"It's not." The old man raised his head and looked at me and said, "It's Jiuquan Mansion." ”

"...... of Nine Springs Mansion"

My heart trembled, and I said incredulously: "Jiuquan Mansion is still doing the work of collecting corpses for the Bai family?" ”

"It's not a corpse, it's a burial."
