Chapter 5: The Ancestors Appear
Ignoring his roommate's inquiry, after quickly saying a word to help him ask for leave, Huo Xiaolu grabbed the crushed topaz and hurriedly ran down the stairs, and his pale panicked appearance on the way attracted the attention of many people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
didn't stop for a moment, Huo Xiaolu ran to the streets of the university town in one go. Today's weather is very good, cloudless, sunny and sunny, looking at the people coming and going on the street, Huo Xiaolu calmed down a little, thinking that it should be safe here. But looking at the jade shattered like this in his hand, a chill rose in his heart again.
He didn't forget what Granny Lin told him, the more completely this jade was damaged, the more dangerous it was this time. Now that this is almost shattered, what does it mean?
"Nine deaths, one life."
A faint voice sounded behind Huo Xiaolu, almost scaring him into a delirium. Looking back suddenly, he suddenly changed from panic to surprise: "Granny Lin? How did you get here? ”
The person who spoke was none other than Granny Lin, who had only been seen for two days. She was dressed in a plain cloth shirt, hunched at the waist, and carried a curved and chic cane in her hand. Huo Xiaolu didn't know why she was here, when did she come? How did you get here at such an age? But no matter what, when he needed spiritual support the most, Granny Lin's sudden appearance undoubtedly injected him with a heart booster.
Granny Lin didn't care about the surprise on Huo Xiaolu's face, but said to him with a very solemn expression: "The matter is very serious, you come with me." ”
At this time, Huo Xiaolu realized that Granny Lin's sentence of nine deaths and one life represented how dangerous his current situation was. He hurriedly hugged Granny Lin and walked along the street as she said.
Because she took care of Granny Lin's age, her legs and feet were not good. The two walked very slowly. After walking out of this section of street, turn left and right and walk through the city. In Huo Xiaolu's cognition, Granny Lin has never left her village, let alone come to Z City, which is thousands of miles away, but now it seems that Granny Lin is very familiar with this place, needless to say, she can know exactly which intersection to turn around, and even in some areas where the buildings are more scattered, she will not take a little wrongful road. Although he was curious, Huo Xiaolu was not in the mood to ask about these at this time, he just lowered his head slightly and walked forward according to Granny Lin's instructions, feeling a little anxious in his heart.
After walking for about an hour, Huo Xiaolu, who was walking with his head bored, suddenly heard Granny Lin say, "Okay, this is it." ”
Raised his head a little stunned, Huo Xiaolu was in front of him was a pavilion in a park, the pavilion was surrounded by a group of trees, the style was very simple, but it was also very clean, but not many people came to play in the park at this time, so the pavilion was very deserted. Huo Xiaolu helped Granny Lin into the pavilion, carefully helped her to sit down, and sat next to her, waiting for Granny Lin's next words.
Probably because she was too old, Granny Lin walked all the way with her face full of exhaustion. After taking a few breaths, he ignored Huo Xiaolu, but shouted to the empty place on the other side of him: "Come out." ”
Huo Xiaolu was a little inexplicable, there was nothing on Granny Lin's side, just an empty pavilion fence shrouded in the shade of the trees. Just when he wanted to open his mouth to ask Granny Lin, the scene in front of him made him feel the urge to hug his head and run away.
I saw that the shadow of the tree suddenly churned like boiling water under Huo Xiaolu's gaze, and it continued to bulge upward, as if something was about to break free from it. This scene frightened Huo Xiaolu in place, stunned, and the next scene was what really made him want to escape from here: the bulge was constantly agitating upward, and when it reached a certain critical point, it suddenly and silently exploded, revealing what was inside. And that thing Huo Xiaolu was still very familiar, it turned out to be one of the three dark shadows he met that night when he got lost in the mountains and forests behind the village for the night, and he felt that it should be the one who talked to him at that time. At that time, Huo Xiaolu couldn't tell whether it was a real experience or just a dream he had, so he didn't tell anyone, but now that he saw the black shadow really appearing in front of him, he naturally panicked and wanted to run away.
But just when he had already stood up and wanted to run, Granny Lin's words made his footsteps stop in mid-air, and his head became ossified: "You kid, when you see your ancestors, don't you say hello, and you still want to run, is there any etiquette?" ”
Huo Xiaolu's current mood is like seeing a prehistoric dinosaur appear in front of him, and the surprise in his heart can no longer be described in words. He slowly turned his head to look at the black shadow, opened his mouth wide several times but no sound came out, and finally asked in a low voice that had changed his tone, "...... Ancestors? ”
If the black shadow has facial features on his face that can be seen, I believe he should be watching Huo Xiaolu's joke very happily. However, he still answered Huo Xiaolu's question very seriously: "That's right, if I'm not mistaken." The old man is none other than your fifty-third generation ancestor - Huo Jinghong. ”
After receiving the black shadow's affirmative answer, Huo Xiaolu turned his head to look at Granny Lin again, hoping to get another and final confirmation from her. When he saw Granny Lin nodding with a smile, the expression on his face and the feeling in his heart were far more than wonderful to describe. In this chaotic mood, Huo Xiaolu still felt that he would not speak first.
Granny Lin continued: "Mr. Huo, you have also seen it, and I also know what happened in the mountains and forests that time, and it is not the first time you have met each other. ”
Huo Jinghong said: "That time, a few of our old guys happened to see a few of your juniors sleeping in the woods, so we wanted to relieve them of their hearts by the way. I didn't think I'd meet you so early, but I didn't want to be discovered by you. Huo Xiaolu was a little embarrassed in his heart, he thought that these black shadows were doing something bad to their companions, but they didn't think they were giving benefits.
As if seeing a trace of embarrassment on his face, Huo Jinghong let out a hearty laugh: "Don't worry about the baby, it is estimated that no matter who it is at that time, it will be startled, by the way, the two who were with me at that time were my two nephews, and they were also your two ancestors." ”
Unexpectedly, he had seen three old ancestors who only existed in his ancestral hometown, and after hesitating, Huo Xiaolu finally saluted Huo Jinghong respectfully, representing that he had accepted this reality.
At this time, Granny Lin said: "Okay, since the path is clear, then Mr. Huo should get down to business." ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Huo Xiaolu became very focused, after all, this was related to his life. Huo Jinghong also sat up and told Huo Xiaolu eloquently.
It turned out that Huo Xiaolu's jade was broken in the early hours of this morning, and Huo Jinghong had already sensed it at the same time as the jade pendant was broken, but the distance was too far for him to arrive immediately, and he calculated that this trip was dangerous, so he found Granny Lin and her to use spells and spells to rush over continuously, and only then did Huo Xiaolu arrive when he found that the jade pendant had been broken. In order to hide people's eyes, Huo Jinghong asked Granny Lin to take Huo Xiaolu to a place where there were fewer people. And when it came here, Huo Jinghong found that the matter was more serious than he imagined: the ghost on Huo Xiaolu's body was gone!
And the key is that the soul sealing technique he applied on Huo Xiaolu is still in effect, which means that someone unknowingly bypassed his spell and released the ghost, not only did not alarm Huo Xiaolu, but also concealed Huo Jinghong, who has been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years. What does this mean?
"I'm afraid the worst has happened, and I guess someone very powerful has discovered this ghost in you and may want to help it." Huo Jinghong's tone was very solemn, and Huo Xiaolu also heard the meaning from it: "That is to say, I must not only beware of the evil ghost who no longer knows where to hide, but also be careful of a person around me who doesn't know who is stumbling?" ”
Huo Jinghong also nodded helplessly: "It seems that this is the case, now that we are in the light and the other party is in the dark, we didn't have an advantage and are still very passive now, and it is estimated that things will be difficult to do." ”
At this time, Granny Lin opened her mouth and asked Huo Xiaolu: "By the way, have you found the person I mentioned to you before?" What's the eyebrow? ”
Originally, Huo Xiaolu wanted to say that Yi Ran might be yes, but considering that Yi Ran said that she couldn't handle this ghost, then the possibility was very small, but he still said it. After listening to this, Granny Lin and Huo Jinghong frowned unexpectedly, and then Huo Jinghong shook his head directly and said, "That shouldn't be, that person's strength is terrifying and abnormal, if it is really that one, there is no way." Huo Xiaolu could only pout helplessly, and he had no bottom in his heart.
"In this case, let's not consider that person first, it is better to find the person who helped the evil ghost first, in case the other party secretly makes evil and causes unnecessary trouble." Granny Lin said to Huo Xiaolu, "Think about it. Since you left home, on the road to school, have you encountered any strange people and things? ”
Huo Xiaolu thought about it again and again, his hair was so anxious that he was about to pull it off, and he still didn't have a clue in his heart, what happened in the past two days was clear, and he didn't find any suspicious people, he really couldn't figure out what someone wanted to harm him.
Looking at Huo Xiaolu's anxious and overwhelmed appearance, Granny Lin said again: "That's it, do you think about who you have had physical contact with in the past two days, if you want to release the ghost, you must have physical contact with you face to face, do you think about any people who feel weird or someone who has touched you very deliberately?" ”
Huo Xiaolu was still depressed in his heart, he didn't know how many people he had physical contact with when he was on the train, he didn't care at all, after all, it was too normal to touch and rub his body when he was in the car. As for going back to school, no one touched him, at least not remembers it.
Suddenly, Huo Xiaolu thought of a possibility in his heart, and his heart tightened, could it be him?
