Chapter 342: Old Ancestor
The eldest prince walked to the front, and Lu Xian and I followed behind with our heads down, and no one spoke along the way. Only the Yin Ghost Lady patted me on the shoulder, smiling, and seemed to be very satisfied with my watch.
I had a stomach full of questions and wanted to find someone to talk to, but I didn't dare to say it when I remembered the black face of the eldest prince.
The eldest prince led us a few steps to a stone room. I don't know what this room was supposed to be, but now there are stone benches in it.
It can be seen that the empty house has been entrenched in this ancient tomb for many years, and it has already transformed the ancient tomb.
The eldest prince pointed to the stone bench. He said, "Sit down." ”
The three of us sat down in silence. But the eldest prince did not sit. He paced back and forth in the room.
After a while, he said lightly: "Yin Ghost Woman, this incident will give you a great credit." ”
The ghost woman agreed with a smile.
The eldest prince looked at me, frowned and said, "Your name is Zhao Mang?" ”
No matter how I look at him, I feel that his face is gloomy and he doesn't look like a good person. I nodded slightly and said, "My name is Zhao Mang." ”
The eldest prince finally sat down, and he said, "Since you have passed the test, then you can be regarded as a person in our empty house." ”
Mr. Lu and I looked at each other, not knowing what the eldest prince wanted to do.
The eldest prince still said leisurely: "When the old ancestor left, he once told us that if someone passed the test, the bull head and horse noodles would be useless. Your blood has proven this just now. ”
What the eldest prince said, in fact, I have already guessed it. I thought to myself: why is this kid going back and forth in circles and not getting to the point?
He hesitated. Then he seemed to be a little reluctant and said: "Do you want to hear the origin of our empty house?" ”
I nodded and said, "Of course I want to know." ”
The eldest prince said slowly: "The empty house is a naturally formed feng shui, the time and place are favorable, and it is clever and clever to form such a room. It is impossible to determine where the first empty house was built. But. As there are more and more people in the world, there are more and more houses. There are more empty houses. At that time, the empty house was a plate of loose sand, not a climate, at most a haunted mansion. ”
The eldest prince spoke slowly, and several of us sat upright, watching him speak.
I noticed that the ghost woman next to me listened very carefully, as if even she didn't know about these things.
The eldest prince continued: "A thousand years ago, the ancestor of the empty house appeared. He built the empty house into a sect, and all the owners of the empty house were unified by him. At that time, we were empty and dead on the rivers and lakes, but we were very prosperous. ”
The eldest prince said this, with a look of yearning on his face.
I looked at the eldest prince and couldn't help but ask: "Everyone calls you the eldest prince, are you and this old ancestor father and son?" ”
The eldest prince shook his head. There was no expression on his face, and he said, "The old ancestor is even older than me. My name is just a nickname, and it doesn't mean anything special. ”
Mr. Lu asked, "Your ancestor, did something happen later?" ”
The eldest prince said, "It seems that you have already guessed. ”
Mr. Lu said indifferently: "It's not difficult to guess, if the ancestor is still there, it won't be you who have the final say here." ”
The eldest prince nodded and said, "The tree is a big wind." The name of our empty house is too loud. Naturally, there will be people targeting. However, although they are eyeing it, after all, in the face of our behemoth, no one dares to move. Later, the ancestor saved a Taoist priest. Since then, the two have been in regular retreat and seem to be studying something. I don't know how many years have passed, but suddenly the people of Hades have come. ”
I interjected, "Bull head and horse noodles? ”
The eldest prince shook his head and said, "It's not the bull head and horse face you see, but the real people of the underworld." What exactly they look like, no one knows. But the old ancestor and the Taoist saw it. The people of the underworld want to take the Taoist away. But the old ancestor stopped him. ”
Mr. Lu's face was full of shock: "Can he stop the people in the underworld?" ”
Mr. Lu had seen the people of the underworld and knew that they were terrible, and at this time, he was naturally extremely shocked to hear that the old ancestor had actually stopped them.
The eldest prince sighed, then scratched his head a little hesitantly, and then said: "The old ancestor was able to stop them, and naturally he borrowed the momentum of the empty house. Since those two people from the underworld are on our territory, of course they are afraid that we will attack them en masse. So they left for the time being. It's just that after they leave, they will definitely bring people again, and when the time comes, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand the empty house. ”
The Yin Ghost Woman couldn't help but say, "Our empty house, can't we beat the people in the underworld?" ”
The eldest prince smiled bitterly: "The people of the underworld are too powerful. They are rarely seen in the world. But every time they appeared, what they wanted to do, no one could stop them. Our ancestors were able to use the momentum of the empty house to force them away, which was already shocking. ”
Mr. Lu said: "Later, how did the empty house survive? ”
The eldest prince said: "After the people of the underworld are gone, the people of the empty house do not know what a powerful thing they have provoked. On that day, the old ancestor called a few of us over. He told us that his behavior a few days ago had probably annoyed the people of the underworld, and that if they came to retaliate, we would probably be uprooted in our empty house, so we had to plan ahead of time. ”
"I asked the old ancestor, what are we going to do?"
"The old ancestor said that the Taoist friend has already left. I will now plead to Hades. If I don't come back after three days. Then everyone dispersed, and each ran for his life. ”
I couldn't help but say, "This fellow Daoist is too unrighteous. At the beginning, in order to protect him, the ancestor offended the people of the underworld, and now something happened and he ran away by himself? ”
The eldest prince said: "What the ancestor meant, we don't dare to speculate casually. In short, after the ancestor said this, he went into retreat. Three days later, he returned. After coming back, he didn't tell us anything, but made two sculptures of bull heads and horse faces. Tell us that we have to do a test every few days. Whoever passes the guò test will be able to find him again. After explaining this, the ancestor was gone. ”
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does it mean to be gone?" ”
The eldest prince said: "Disappeared, never seen again." After the ancestor left, the empty house gradually declined. We put our hopes for revival on the test, hoping to find that person and invite our ancestors out. ”
That's when I finally understood. It turned out that the people in the empty house were playing this calculation.
I asked with some concern, "So what should I do?" There won't be any danger, right? "Virgin bastard.
The eldest prince said, "Don't do anything. When the ancestor should appear, he will naturally come to you. So ......"
I had a bad feeling in my heart. Sure enough, he said, "So, please continue to live in the empty house." ”
I screamed, almost crashing to death on the stone bench.
Mr. Lu suddenly asked, "What will happen if Zhao Mang fails the test?" ”
The eldest prince paused and said, "You should have seen the surname Chai, right?" ”
My heart tightened: "Old man Chai." ”
"We don't know what happened to him in the test. In fact, all the people, ghosts, and demons who participated in the test did not remember the content of the test later. Fortunately, the little ghost and the little demon will not be in danger of their lives after they fail, but their souls will become very weak, so weak that they may scatter at any time. ”
Mr. Lu said: "Probably, their souls were taken away by bull heads and horse noodles. These two statues have stood here for thousands of years, and it is estimated that they are maintained by the ghosts' spirits. ”
The eldest prince nodded and said, "The one surnamed Chai has been sitting in front of the statue for ten days. Then he opened his eyes. At first, he was conscious. He can also speak fluently. But keep saying that he's dead. Later, his body also began to fester. It's almost indistinguishable from a dead man. ”
I glanced at Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu nodded and said, "He should have chosen to commit suicide." ”
