Chapter 52: Soul Master
"Lingxin, let's meet again."
Professor Xia and Ling Xin were completely immersed in the joy of reunion, and both cried bitterly, but they ignored me as an "outsider", so I stepped forward to greet them.
Seeing me coming, Ling Xin slowly let go of Professor Xia's embrace, got up and looked at me and said, "Sen, what's going on with all this?" β
"Lingxin, after you left, Sen and I went to look for you, but we lost your whereabouts!" Professor Xia hurriedly stated the situation, "By the way, that mysterious person didn't hurt you, right?!" β
"It doesn't seem like so, Dad, don't you think I'm fine now," Lingxin said this, and I noticed that there was an obvious dodge in her eyes, "Dad, how did you two find here." β
"This one!" Professor Xia hesitated for a moment, "We gave the mysterious man a trick, and he was the one who brought us here." β
Professor Xia said, still a little worried, and looked at Lingxin again and again.
When Ling Xin spoke, she glanced at Professor Xia with slanted eyes, not daring to look at Professor Xia completely, so I asked tentatively, "Ling Xin, why were you kidnapped by the mysterious person after you entered that passage at that time?" Also, are you still hiding mysteries from us? β
After listening to my words, Lingxin looked nervous and said, "It's not that I'm kidnapping, it's that he saved me." That's when I accidentally touched the trap. By the way, Sen, you know what, that mysterious man can see me, and he is mortal in the flesh, not a projection. Butβhe seemed to have no body temperature, and his hands were as cold as ice. β
"We just found out. I don't mean that," I prompted, "where he took you while you were awake." β
"Sen, what do you mean?" Professor Xia was puzzled.
"I'd better get it straight!" I looked at them, "That mysterious man is my ancestor Sen Changqing, and all we see is his soul body. And he saved Lingxin, so you can rest assured that he has no ill will. β
When they heard this, they looked at me dumbfounded, as if they were puzzled.
"Soul body - is an ancient secret art, as the saying goes, 'man is born to die', and the soul body technique completely solves this problem." I added, "When a person is about to breathe, the caster can communicate with him, and if that person agrees, the caster's soul can enter the body.
"Moreover, the practitioner needs to take special pills beforehand to ensure that the body is preserved; The day the soul is exhausted is the time when the caster awakens. β
"Sen, there is such an evil secret technique?" Lingxin was skeptical.
"Yes," I became serious, "if I'm not mistaken, Uncle Xia, your identity as an archaeologist is just a faΓ§ade!" β
At this time, Professor Xia was silent, with guilt in his expression.
"Sen, what do you say!" Lingxin looked a little unhappy.
"Lingxin, you better ask him yourself!" I winked at Ling Xin and said, "Just now, if you are sober, Uncle Xia's performance can be wonderful!" β
"you, there's less yin and yang weirdness there!" Ling Xin said disdainfully, and then looked at Professor Xia, "Dad, what's going on with all this?" β
"Okay!" Professor Xia turned his heart and said, "Lingxin, you are not my daughter at all. β
"What?!" Lingxin was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and said in horror, "Dad, what are you talking about?" How could I not be your daughter? β
"It's true!" Professor Xia confirmed again.
"Impossible, Dad, don't make trouble with me, when is this happening." Ling Xinqiang smiled happily. It could be seen that she knew Professor Xia very well, and probably thought that her father would not joke about such things, and she seemed to be beginning to doubt life.
"Lingxin, please forgive me for not being able to hide it anymore!" Professor Xia put his hands on her shoulders, trying to control her emotions, and then said with red eyes, "I was originally from the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yin and Yang family, and the spirit master of the Xi Kingdom.
"The country of Xiguo has never been known to the world, it is hidden in the abyss under a cliff. My ancestors were good at astrological numerology and were given the title of Soul Master when I became an adult.
"I remember that it was a time of summer and autumn, and the lord of the country was happy. Unexpectedly, an autumn thunder that night caused the queen of the country, and the ten big baby was stillborn, and the queen of the country died together. Three days later, I was sent by the lord of the country to the mausoleum of the queen of the country to make the final ritual planning.
"In ancient times, the day of the king's reign was the time when the construction of the tomb began; At that time, the mausoleum had been built for many years.
"Although the top pharmacists of the entire kingdom have confirmed that the mother and daughter are dead, when I was in the underground palace to review the facilities, I encountered a rare celestial phenomenon. The last beam of silver-white moonlight flashed directly on the coffin of the queen of the country, and then the coffin moved.
As the noise grew louder and stronger, the cry of a baby came from the coffin. I opened the coffin and removed a baby girl, who was our little princess. I thought of going back to my life with the princess, but when I walked out of the mausoleum, I realized that it had been a thousand years in the world......"
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Tingxin applauded.
At this time, Lingxin had given up wiping away tears. From this, I expected that what Professor Xia said was true, Lingxin was raised by him since she was a child, and she would always get a glimpse of something unusual when she was growing up. Lingxin seemed to acquiesce in Professor Xia's identity and her own experience, otherwise she would not have shed tears.
It was only a short period of time, and I was no longer surprised that strange things followed, but how could I have thought that Lingxin was actually a princess.
"Lingxin, your brother is a street child I adopted, and he is not your own brother. You keep asking me, where did my mom go? I am perfunctory to keep this thousand-year-old secret," Professor Xia said, "Pout" knelt down on one knee, "Weichen meets the princess!" β
Professor Xia's posture of asking An is super standardized, which shows that he is really from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and his kung fu is excellent.
"Dad, get up!" Ling Xin stepped forward to help him and said, "My brain is a mess now, so don't tell me this." β
Ling Xin begged Professor Xia, tears flashing in his eyes.
"Lingxin," Professor Xia still knelt and insisted, "You and I have long been doomed, I thought that our father and daughter could live an ordinary life, but I blamed my selfish desires, and I tried my best to find the 'dust bead', which caused today's predicament." Princess, you still listen to your courtiers! From now on, you and I will be commensurate with our rulers and ministers. β
"No!" Lingxin sobbed, "Dad, you will always be my dad, and you will never change at any time." β
Everything was just like the real thing, but I didn't even question it at all, so I went to Professor Xia and said to him: "Uncle Xia, I believe that you are the ancient people of Xiguo, and Lingxin is also a princess, but you encountered a strange sudden turn in time and space and came to our modern age; So, all the old traditions are long gone. β
Professor Xia did not speak, but seemed silent, glancing at Ling Xin from time to time.
Maybe there is some truth in my words, Professor Xia didn't insist on kneeling for a long time - I helped him up.
"Dad, that's right!" Ling Xin burst into tears and laughed when he saw this, "Whether what you say is true or not, I will always believe that it is just a bedtime story you told me." β
At the same time, Professor Xia also smiled. Through his eyes, I seemed to really see a father holding a book and telling a story to his little heart......
