Chapter 43: The Manifestation of the First Ancestor

My master blinked: "Grandma, where is the grandmother?" Hurry up, eat this piece of candy and tell me what it tastes like. ”

As I spoke, Master shoved a piece of candy into my mouth.

I just chewed it, and then I spit out the piece of candy, what kind of smell is this, it smells fishy, more stinky than the blood on Fei Zhuang's body!

My master was still asking me, "How is it, what does it smell like?" ”

I endured the stench in my mouth and responded to my master: "It stinks! ”

Hearing me say this, my master seemed very puzzled: "Stinky, what do you taste?" Isn't the Yang God damaged at all? As he spoke, my master snatched the candle and shone it on my forehead, and then looked at my whole body carefully by the candlelight.

After that, my master suddenly became excited again, and said to himself, "Is it really just a handful of hair missing?" ”

Why is my master nervous today?

After a while, my master's excitement passed, and he said to me again, "After planting the coffin this time, the black water corpse coffin on your back can be used." ”

I'm still a little puzzled, is this the end of the second coffin planting? When Master talked about planting the coffin for the second time, he always had a very solemn expression, but why did he make that expression? It's weird.

When Master led me out of the basement with a candle, I realized that at the end of the long corridor, there were already many people gathered at this time.

In addition to Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Zhuang, Senior Uncle Xia and my Senior Brother Feng from Tunmeng, as well as Uncle Liu in a Tibetan robe, and Uncle Ke who was blind, they all came.

My Uncle Liu's name is Liu Zonghou, and Uncle Ke's name is Ke Zongbi, and I have forgotten when I knew their names, it seems that my master told me, and it seems that Senior Brother Feng told me, the years are too far away, I really can't remember clearly.

As soon as Master and I walked out of the corridor, Senior Brother Feng ran over and asked my Master very nervously, "Is there anything wrong with my junior brother?" ”

Among the fellow brothers, Senior Brother Feng and I spent the longest time together and cared about me the most.

However, as I grew up, my contact with Brother Zhuang became more and more frequent, but that was many years later.

Master smiled at Senior Brother Feng: "It's only a few hairs missing, it's fine." ”

Hearing what my master said, Uncle Xia and Uncle Zhao also ran over, grabbed my arm, and the two of them surrounded me and looked at me carefully over and over again.

Uncle Xia also took out a turtle shell-like thing from his pocket and put it on my chest, the turtle shell was originally black, but after touching my chest, it slowly showed a color similar to yellow and white.

Zhao Shibo looked at the turtle shell and smacked his tongue: "It's strange, the Yang God is not damaged, this is in the right vein, but it is the first case in two thousand years." ”

Uncle Xia said with a smile: "Look at this pure yang energy, Senior Brother Chai has worked hard over the years." ”

I could hear the words of the two masters in a fog, and I didn't know what they meant.

My master seemed to be very proud, and said to Uncle Liu, who was standing in the distance: "There is a way, this kid is born to do this business. ”

Uncle Liu glanced at my master and said sourly, "Congratulations on having a good apprentice." When he was done, he said to himself, "I'm almost out of here." ”

Regarding Uncle Liu's reaction, my master smiled helplessly, and asked me Uncle Xia again: "Senior brother, in fact, I don't understand it. It is common sense that the black water corpse coffin is a great yin thing, and people who see it for the first time, even if the yang energy in the body is pure, will be drained of some yang gods. But there is a way, why is this child just missing a few hairs? ”

Only then did I realize that the damage to Master's Yang God should also have something to do with the second coffin.

Uncle Xia shook his head: "This kind of thing is really puzzling. As he spoke, he looked back at Uncle Ke and said, "Senior Brother Ke, you have always been very insightful about yin and yang, what do you think about things that have a way?" ”

Uncle Ke still had his eyes closed, he touched the beard on his lips, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "There is a Tao with a Jingyang in the eight characters, and there is a pair of innate heavenly eyes. I think it's probably these two things that please the Black Water Coffin. Senior Brother Chai is right, the black water corpse coffin is indeed a big yin thing, but everything in the world pays attention to a yin and yang harmony, ordinary yin things don't like yang, but yin has reached a certain state, perhaps, it also needs yang energy to reconcile. As for the yin and yang eyes, it is the yin in the yang, and it can also echo the expectations of the black water coffin for the inheritance of the upright lineage. ”

My Uncle Ke spoke very long, and I only understood a general idea.

Uncle Zhao and Uncle Xia nodded one after another, and my master was also saying: "Is Yin and Yang reconciled, the black water corpse coffin extracts the Yang God, it turns out that this is the truth." ”

Uncle Xia stroked my hair with his hand, revealing my hairline. Because the handful of hair was forcibly pulled out, there was still a trace of blood on my hairline.

I heard Uncle Xia say: "Senior Brother Ke, in your opinion, why did the black water coffin pull out Youdao's hair?" ”

Among all my uncles and uncles, Uncle Ke seems to be the most knowledgeable one, otherwise Uncle Xia, as the head of the lineage, would not have to ask him everything.

Uncle Ke said with a smile: "This kind of thing is really hard to say. However, according to my guess, the black water coffin took the yang god from the main gate keeper, and it was originally to be able to communicate with the people of the righteous gatekeeper, otherwise, the main gate keeper would not be able to borrow its Qi field to cast spells thousands of miles away. And this strand of hair, and the black water coffin to take away the Yang God should be the same reason, but Youdao originally figured it out, there is no need to take away the Yang God, just a strand of hair is enough. Hehe, this is just my guess, whether it is right or not, I can only rely on Youdao to verify it myself. ”

At this time, I couldn't help but interject: "In that coffin, there is a very gentle old grandmother." ”

As soon as my words came out, the uncles and uncles present were stunned for a moment, because my master was worried about me, and he didn't care about the "old grandmother" in my mouth, but he asked me again: "What is the old grandmother you are talking about?" ”

To be honest, I didn't look at it carefully, but I remembered that my grandmother had a birthmark on her face, so I gestured on the left side of my face and said to my master, "She has a birthmark here, it's so big, it's lilac." ”

As I spoke, Uncle Xia suddenly exclaimed, "First Ancestor! ”

Is the grandmother an ancestor? But no, I saw the portrait of my ancestor, an old man.

Immediately afterwards, the expressions of my master and the two masters became very respectful, they turned around, and at the same time bowed three times towards the entrance of the basement hallway, and while worshipping, I also heard my master say: "Master Xie Zu bless, Master Xie blesses." ”

But except for my master and the two masters, everyone else had inexplicable expressions, although Senior Brother Zhuang and Senior Brother Feng also followed my master and worshipped them, but the faces of the two senior brothers were also full of doubts.

I know, they must also be thinking, isn't the first ancestor a man, how did he become a grandmother? Looking at their expressions, even I suspected that I had just read it wrong.

It was only later that I heard my master say that our first ancestor, Li Zifu, was indeed a woman with a birthmark on her face. It's just that at that time, the inheritance of the earth master Zhuang Junping was originally passed on to men but not to women, and it was an exception for our first ancestor to become the secret disciple of the earth master.

And there's no way around it. Because the inheritance of the earth master wants to be passed down completely, the talent of the disciple is extremely demanding, and only our first ancestor can meet his expectations. But despite this, the earth master still asked the first ancestor to dress up as a man, and also covered the birthmark on her face, and the portrait left by the first ancestor is also what she looked like after she disguised herself.

And Li Zifu is just a pseudonym of the first ancestor. Listening to my master, the first ancestor was originally surnamed Luo, and her name is nowhere to be verified, but I know that her ancestral home should be in Yicheng. And after the death of the first ancestor, the body was kept in the black water corpse coffin.

Regarding the matter of the first ancestor, except for the heads of the previous generations, it will not be known to other people. My master also told me these things because I was the only apprentice.

Before Xian'er said that the water in the Soul Village was very muddy, in fact, she also knew nothing about the matter of the Soul Village, saying that the water in this pool was muddy, it was not exact, this pool of water was not muddy, but deep. In Jisoul Village, there are many unknown secrets, and these secrets are only passed down from generation to generation among the heads of successive generations.

After the second coffin was planted, I was led by Master and left the hotel.

Because it was Uncle Zhuang who came, Senior Brother Zhuang's car couldn't drive so many people, and when Uncle Xia and the others came, they also drove a van on purpose.

When they came, it was naturally me Senior Brother Feng who was driving, but there were many mountain roads in Shunan, and Senior Brother Feng was not familiar with the road conditions, so on the way to Jisoul Village, the driver was replaced by Senior Brother Zhuang.

The Soul Village is located in the belly of a ten-mile mountain, and the location is very hidden.

Ten miles of mountains, just a general talk, in fact, more than ten miles. When Senior Brother Zhuang parked the car on the mountain road, I got out of the car and looked, and the place I looked at was full of deep mountains and old forests, the mountains were connected to the mountains, and the forests were connected to the forests, and those mountains were like majestic giants, and when I looked at them, they were also looking down on me.

For the first time in my life, I suddenly felt very small, between these ten miles of mountains, I was like a grain of dust that suddenly broke in, dispensable.

Just when I was still amazed at the majesty of the mountain, my master came over and patted me on the shoulder, telling me to follow him and not get lost.

At this time, I found out that Uncle Zhao and the others had already entered the forest.

I grabbed the corner of my master's clothes and walked slowly, there was no road in the forest, my master often had to use the cigarette stick of dry tobacco to push away the branches that grew obliquely nearby, and Uncle Xia walked very fast, obviously there was no road, and it was difficult to identify the direction in the forest, but when they walked, every step was very decisive, obviously they looked like they were familiar with the road.

After walking for about an hour, I saw a large bamboo forest in front of me.

This is in winter, everything is withering, but the bamboo forest is still lush and lush, and some of the bamboos even have new shoots. Master's yard also has bamboo, so I know that bamboo doesn't lose its leaves in winter and only in spring, but I also know that in winter, bamboo doesn't grow new leaves.
