Chapter 43: The Secret History
Shen Qianhua and Yun Ling were also prepared, the fat man was also such an adult, but he pouted helplessly, Wucheng was still relatively angry, and he couldn't bear it in an instant, and he scolded when he opened his mouth!
"What the hell are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf! Give me back my temper to the master! ……”
Shen Qianhua's face turned black in an instant, and it seemed that there were ten thousand divine beasts rushing through in his heart......
Wucheng, your uncle! It's weird to let you in! After this calf, I'm afraid there is no hope......
Shen Qianhua even has the heart to strangle Wu Cheng, so he is also an elder!
Except, of course, the fat man......
Shen Qianhua gritted his teeth and shouted into the courtyard,
"I'm a ferryman......"
As soon as the words fell, the door opened with a "creak"!
A little girl stared at the four people outside the house with wide eyes,
"Mother-in-law let you in."
Shen Qianhua's eyes froze, it seems that this blind mother-in-law really knows something!
The four of them followed the girl into the courtyard, and Wu Cheng still looked disdainful and muttered in a low voice......
The courtyard is poorly furnished but clean, with a huge furnace in the middle, like a Taoist temple, and the door is ajar on the three steps, and the girl does not stop and walks straight to the house.
The room was very spacious, only a table was placed in the opposite position, and on the Taishi chair next to it sat a thin old woman, with bright white hair and a pair of cloudy and gray eyes looking at the door, even Shen Qianhua wondered if she was really blind......
The four people walked into the house, the girl also carefully closed the door, stood next to the old man, the light in the room dimmed instantly, and an old man and a girl in front of him looked more or less mysterious.
Yun Ling took a step forward and said respectfully,
"I took the liberty to disturb my mother-in-law this time, and I ask my mother-in-law not to blame me."
But the old figure in front of him didn't move, his cloudy eyes were still facing the door, and his voice trembled slightly and asked,
"Who... Is it a ferryman...? ”
Although the old man had no waves on the surface, he could hear from his voice that his emotions were a little excited, and Shen Qianhua couldn't hide it at this time, so he stepped forward and said,
"I just..."
The old man was obviously a little excited, trembling and about to stand up, Shen Qianhua hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man sit down again, and the latter asked in a trembling voice,
"Is there a token...?"
Shen Qianhua took out the square pillar that he had taken out from the bottom of the river from his bag and handed it to the latter.
The old man held the square pillar, his thin fingers touched the talisman on the square pillar inch by inch, and there were faint tears flashing in his cloudy eyes......
Shen Qianhua looked a little moved, it was hard to imagine what kind of story could make this centenarian so out of shape, and when the old man's mood gradually stabilized, Shen Qianhua just wanted to ask what this square pillar was, but the old man trembled and spoke first,
"Did you know... Xujiacun has been waiting for you here for a thousand years...! ”
Shen Qianhua was shocked for a moment, looking embarrassed, this... This......
Millennium?
Is there a mistake...?!
I'm only twenty!
Shen Qianhua stood in front of the old man in a daze, and said with some embarrassment,
"It's... Am you mistaken......"
The old woman returned the square pillar to Shen Qianhua, but her expression was extremely serious, she stood up tremblingly, refused the support of Shen Qianhua and the girl, slowly walked to a painting, and bowed deeply,
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life..."
The person on the painting is the person Shen Qianhua saw at the old man's house! It's just that this one is clearer!
The old woman straightened up, turned her head and asked Shen Qianhua,
"Do you know this person...?"
Shen Qianhua shook his head and said respectfully,
"I heard that it was my mother-in-law's dream, and the younger generation naturally didn't know..."
The old woman sighed before she said slowly,
"It's not false to say that it's in a dream, it's true that I got a glimpse of it in a dream, so I traced it out and posted it in the villagers' homes, not for his merits in suppressing demons and evils, but for the hope that someone who is destined to know this person, so as to end this task that has been guarded for thousands of years......"
Shen Qianhua was even more confused in his heart, the task of guarding the millennium?
What does this have to do with yourself?
Maybe not yourself...
It's the identity of the ferryman!
"The ancestors were from Henan, and their friends came here to play, and they were in distress in Longhu Mountain, and all their friends died here. The man used a magic weapon to suppress all the wandering evil ghosts at the bottom of the river, dissipating his anger, and said that someone who was destined to come here to pull out the magic weapon and release the ghosts! ”
Shen Qianhua heard this, his mouth was open and he could stuff a goose egg!
What's so ......
Is there really anyone who can predict the future...?
And then the so-called destined person is especially himself...?! This is too bloody!
The old woman didn't pay attention to Shen Qianhua's strange expression, and still said to herself,
"Because of the grace of his life, the ancestors were entrusted by him to move his family here, just to wait for the legendary destined person...... And until the ancestor returned to the land, there was no result, but the ancestor was convinced of this person's words, and secretly told his direct descendants to continue to stay here until someone who was destined to appear! ”
Shen Qianhua was slightly stunned, and he also admired the ancestors of the old woman, the so-called gentleman "is hard to chase after a horse!" ”
If you put it aside until now, such a person is either called a fool or has a water in his head......
"This is thousands of years, so long that many people have left here, otherwise it would not be a thousand years of time only on this scale, and then not many people care about it, and even the family is just a legend, and most of the people who stay are old people, and I didn't have much hope at the beginning, until one day twenty years ago......"
Shen Qianhua suddenly tensed his nerves!
Twenty years ago...?
Everything that has happened during this time, whether it is his own life experience or the mystery of his father, it seems that the source of everything started twenty years ago!
All kinds of things seem to be connected in the dark......
"Twenty years ago, I was 100 years old, almost at the end of my life, and my health was getting worse and worse, and one night, I had a dream in which a man in ancient costume said to me, the mission is not yet complete, the ferryman is about to come into the world, and you still have a mission...... Strange to say, since that day my health has gradually improved, I described the appearance of the man in my dream and posted it in the villager's house, waiting for someone to ......"
Shen Qianhua finally understood that the person in the painting was not because of a dream, but from that ancient legend, what the old woman saw in her dream confirmed the legend, and the continuation of her life also made this person more mysterious, and also made the old woman begin to believe in the legend!
What's more, the so-called destined person is the ferryman!
Or rather......
It's yourself!
Shen Qianhua inhaled heavily, as if he had unconsciously fallen into a huge whirlpool, and he seemed to be suffocating in it......
Wu Cheng and the fat man on the side were almost sleepy when they heard the legend, they sat on the chair and took a nap, and when they saw that the old woman was no longer talking, Wu Cheng yawned and interjected,
"Now that people are here, the mysterious big brother has been dead for many years, isn't this over......?"
But the old woman shook her head,
"It's just a promise and mission for our people, and it's done now, but it may not be ...... for you."
Shen Qianhua raised his head, and he was not afraid of itching if there were many lice......
"There is another sentence in the mission that the man gave to our people......"
"What...?"
Shen Qianhua asked with some curiosity.
"The fate of all beings, in a thought! Before the Doomsday Overture plays, the ferryman can take the Demon Suppression Pillar and go to the ruins of Kunlun! ”
The old woman's voice suddenly rose by a decibel, and the fat man was shocked, the fat man was very serious when he mentioned Kunlun Ruins before, and now he was obviously shocked when the old woman said it in this way!
"Kunlun Ruins?! What are you doing there?! That's not where people go?! Suspicious of life? ”
The fat man said angrily, obviously still having lingering feelings about that place!
The old woman sighed and said to Shen Qianhua,
"Xujiacun's mission of carrying a thousand years is also completed, your choice has nothing to do with me, and everything I know has been told to you, a thousand years of time, the ancestors' life-saving grace and the old body's life-saving grace are also considered to be exhausted, you can go......
After the old woman finished speaking, she sat back in the Taishi chair and didn't say anything more, but Shen Qianhua sincerely admired the integrity of the person in front of her, and bowed deeply to the old woman!
But what he came here this time is still a will, so far there is no clue at all, all living beings are dying, national righteousness or something is still too far away from him, and now what Shen Qianhua wants to understand most is his own life experience!
After thanking the old woman a few words, he and Yun Ling exited the door together.
Now the top priority is to continue to look for clues to the will, as for Kunlun Ruins, I heard the fat man say that my father has been there, so I should know a lot of things!
Wu Cheng was still yawning,
"Ah...... Where are you going next......"
Yun Ling kicked him on the calf before he unfolded the map, looking at it and planning the route,
"There are two ways, one is to go directly to Hat Peak from the mosquito-free village, but the mountains in the middle are very high, I'm afraid it is not easy to climb......"
"Another way is to go to Elephant Trunk Hill from here, and then climb diagonally to Hat Peak from a more gentle place on the side, which is a little farther but relatively easy."
After Yun Ling finished speaking, he looked at the other three people, waiting for their decision, but in addition to Wu Cheng, a person with a simple mind and well-developed limbs and lazy cancer, he chose the first option, and Shen Qianhua and the fat man both chose the second option, which made Wu Cheng very embarrassed......
At this time, it was already past noon, and when I came out of the old woman's house, I found that there were already some tourists in the village, and some people wanted to visit the centenarian, but they were all turned away.
The distance from the mosquito-free village to the elephant trunk mountain is not far, the four people followed the sparse tourists over the back of the mountain behind the mosquito-free village, only walked for about half an hour, after passing through some canyons and ravines, came to the back mountain of the mosquito-free village, and was surprised that there was a sightseeing road!
It just so happened that Yun Ling and the fat man were also quite tired, and by the way, they took a sightseeing car, and the tourists in the car were all looking around excitedly, except for four people......
The fat man and Wu Cheng had already fallen asleep on the back of the chair, and they were even snoring...!
Shen Qianhua didn't last long before joining them......
