Chapter 15: The True Purpose
Smack!
The dead tree had no resistance at all in front of the wood knife, and it was split all at once, which made me feel unreal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I used the knife that night! The mountain-opening knife of Bailian Steel was also cut off by the vine of the tree demon at once, and the evaluation given by the strong son at that time was 'gold and iron are difficult to hurt'. And now......
The firewood knife that Grandpa Li threw over in his hand didn't even look as bright as the one polished by the mountain, but as soon as the knife went down, the demon tree that was hard to hurt was crackled.
When I broke open the bark, I found that the tree was hollow! The inside of the huge trunk had been hollowed out, and beneath the empty shell was a small black wooden box.
This is the legacy of our Oriental family? It doesn't look like much. I don't know what's in there.
When I picked up this small box, I suddenly felt a shock in my heart, and the pores all over my body smacked and stood up. The contents of the box are like a demon hiding in the abyss, waiting for the moment when the seal will be opened!
Pressure! I actually felt the pressure! It's obviously an old box, and it's not even chained, but the instinct from the depths of my soul tells me that I can't open it! Once opened, I am afraid that there will be unpredictable consequences!
"Did you get the thing?"
Grandpa Li didn't know when he walked in, maybe my mind was taken by this small box and didn't notice it. I nodded and asked Grandpa Li what was here, but he shook his head and said he didn't know.
"Take a look for yourself, this thing can only be opened by someone from the Dongfang family, and if someone else does it, there will be a catastrophe!"
I swallowed my saliva and opened the box, and a pungent smell spread through the box, and I was afraid that it would be poisonous, and I could barely hold the box. And Grandpa Li, who was beside me, seemed to be even more nervous than me, and when he saw my hands shaking, he was so anxious that he was about to pounce.
When I looked closely, what was in this box turned out to be a bronze wine vessel! And inside the wine vessel, a glass of liquid that is more muddy than muddy water is the source of the strange smell.
"I'll you, what is the ancestor kidding me? Get me a cup of footwash for my legacy? If you drink this thing, you will get sick if you don't die, and idiots will drink it! ”
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, seeing this obviously useless thing, my heart was angry, and I was about to fall to the ground, but Grandpa Li seemed to see his own life, one grappling hand clasped my wrist, and the other hand grabbed my neck! Eyes fixed on that drinking vessel!
"Immortal wine! Sure enough, it's true! Komaki didn't lie to me! The Oriental family really has immortal wine that has been handed down! ”
Whispering like dementia, Grandpa Li didn't notice the pain that I was about to die under his iron hands!
Breathless! It's so hard to breathe! Grandpa Li...... He wants to kill me!
The fear of death made me struggle constantly, but Grandpa Li's iron hands were stronger than iron tongs, and the hand that grabbed my neck seemed to be getting harder and harder, and in the haze, I felt that Grandpa Li's old face seemed to become more and more hideous.
By the time I woke up, Grandpa Li was long gone, and only a broken box was left on the ground, and the wine vessel was nowhere to be found.
When I breathed a little harder, my throat immediately tingled, making my head dizzy and coughing. And this cough can be regarded as to regain the previous memory.
Grandpa Lee! The elder who has taken care of me since I was a child wants to kill me! And from his words, it can be known that his purpose turned out to be the treasure of the Dongfang family, that is, the legendary immortal wine! And the person who told him the news was most likely ...... My grandma, Mu Qianqian!
I can't imagine that grandma would collude with others to snatch the treasures of the Oriental family?
Wrong! There is something suspicious about this matter! If Grandma really knew that there was such a thing as immortal wine, then how could she have died of illness? Won't she take it herself? Or is it really like what Grandpa Li just said, except for the people of the Dongfang family, anyone who wants to get immortal wine will be doomed?
A series of questions made my head explode. I was anxious to find out the truth of the matter, but I didn't know where to start, and when I took out my phone, it was already past nine o'clock the next night. I was in a coma for one day!
The demon tree behind me has withered and decayed, and it is hard to imagine that in just one day, such a big change will happen. Looking at the dead trees that emitted the smell of rotten wood in the dark, I went over by surprise, wanting to touch it again, perhaps out of compensation, I hoped that there was something else in it that had not been stolen by Grandpa Li. Who knew that I had touched something like this!
It was cold to the touch, and the surface was smooth and round, as if it had been specially polished, and when I took it out, it turned out to be a fist-sized bead. It is solid and heavy, exuding a unique fragrance of wood. But I really can't tell what kind of wood this is, and looking at its surface, it probably doesn't come naturally.
But in any case, since this thing is put together with the box containing the immortal wine, it means that it must not be simple. I carefully packed the beads and left the danger hole.
At this time, I was really holding back a breath in my heart, wanting to find Grandpa Li, no, I was looking for Li Jingpo, an old thing, to confront him face to face, and ask him why he was doing it behind his back! But I never imagined that when I walked out of the danger hole and came to the village, the whole village would be empty! Not a single one, not even the dogs!
I found a random door to go in, but I couldn't find anyone anywhere. But the breath of life is still strong, there are still people's clothes on the road, houses are still discarded on the ground, and even in a few homes, I found freshly cooked meals.
It's a strange thing, it's as if in a very short period of time, all the panting creatures in the entire village have suddenly vaporized. And the body has evaporated, and even the clothes are left, but there is no trace of people.
After a full round of searching, I was completely dead. And then, I suddenly thought of a place! The ancestral hall of our village! People can run away, but there may be some records in the ancestral hall. There may be a little bit of a record about the Oriental family.
The ancestral hall of the village is the most sacred and solemn place in the village, and the people who can enter it are generally the elders of the clan with a relatively high status, and children and young people are not allowed to enter. When I was a child, Dashan and I were warned by our elders not to go to the ancestral hall to be naughty.
I pushed open the old wooden door, and there was a puff of dust, and it was a place where very few people entered. I believe that the contents should also be the most intact preserved. I turned on my flashlight and searched everywhere.
After ten minutes, I was a little frustrated, the things here were well kept, but there was a bit of a gap from what I had imagined, except for some sacrificial props and silverware, there were few documents. Even if there were, it was just a village chronicle or something, and I walked down this circle, and I didn't find anything except that I was covered in ashes.
And just when I wanted to give up, I suddenly thought that in ancient times, people liked to hide things on the beams of their houses, could there be one here?
Choking on the dust and coughing up my lungs, I finally climbed to the top of the beam, and with the help of a flashlight, I noticed that there was a distinct depression in the middle section. It seems that I guessed correctly, there is indeed something on this beam.
I cautiously crawled over, peeled off the top cover, and found the baggage hidden inside. Looking at its outline, it looks like a book.
When I got down, I couldn't wait to open it and start looking at what it was under the light.
The thread-bound book without the title cover, and there is a lot of dust on it, which looks very old. A little bit of force I felt like I would ruin the whole book.
Unfortunately, this book has little connection with what I imagined about the secrets of the Oriental family. I took a brief look, and the first half of the book seems to be teaching people to practice breathing methods such as qi refining and breathing, while the second half of the book is some characters that seem inexplicable. I don't know much about ancient texts, so I don't know what they mean.
After putting away the book, I walked out of the ancestral hall, and my heart was in a mess. I wonder if the letter was sent by Li Jingpo in order to trick me back, then if the contents of the letter are true? Did my grandfather and my father really live past the age of thirty? Or did he create the game? The immortal wine of the Dongfang family can only be accessed by the people of the Dongfang family, if Li Jingpo believes it, then why didn't he look for my grandfather and my father? Does my grandmother know about this? Did she also participate in this matter?
It's a lot of headaches for me to think about it, and now there are no clues here, so I can only leave and make plans. Before leaving, I wanted to see my grandmother's and grandpa's graves again. I want to burn incense for them, which is the last goodbye of my unworthy descendants. Because I don't think I'll ever go back to this place for the rest of my life......
When I came to my grave, I almost fainted!
My family's ancestral grave was dug up, and the graves of my grandmother, grandfather and my father were dug up! The grave is piled aside! Shoucai is wide open, and the bones inside are exposed to the air!
"Li Jingpo is the eighteenth generation of my **** ancestor!"
It's one thing to kill people, it's one thing if you want to kill me, but it's another thing for you to dig up my ancestral grave! This is a great revenge that will never die!
After scolding the sky a few times, I turned over and went to the ground, trying to get these coffins in order, at least so that my grandfather and them could be buried in the ground. And when I came to my grandmother's coffin, I noticed a strange thing!
