Chapter 294: Ancestor Prophecy
Sensing that Blackie was pretending to be asleep, my heart hung again, fearing that it was gathering strength, and then breaking free of control and re-entering a state of madness.
I cautiously walked over to Xiao Hei, and was about to speak, only to find that Granny Blood did not know when she would reappear.
She beckoned to me and said in a deep voice, "Bring it back first, I have something to tell you." ”
After saying that, Granny Blood turned around and walked directly towards her bamboo building, Huang Ying and I glanced at each other, and finally decided to follow Granny Blood's orders first, and took Xiao Hei to follow behind Granny Blood.
Around the bamboo building where the blood mother-in-law lived, many people gathered. When the people in the village encounter danger, they always subconsciously approach the blood mother-in-law, and in their hearts, the blood mother-in-law is the most trustworthy.
Zhang Lin had woken up and looked much better. He gathered the young men who had come back with him, and were discussing something in a whisper.
As soon as Granny Blood came back, Zhang Lin had already noticed it, glanced up at Granny Blood, and nodded to say hello.
"Zhang Lin, you let them take turns to guard outside. Notify us at any time if you notice an abnormality. Granny Blood said expressionlessly.
Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then let the two of them walk out. The strength of these people is not weak, and it is relatively safe to go out and guard in turns.
Seeing Zhang Lin make such an arrangement, Granny Blood nodded with satisfaction, and then motioned for me to continue to follow her into the bamboo building.
Entering the bamboo building, I saw Cuicui at first sight. I don't know why, Cuicui's mood was very low at this time, and she sat in the corner with her eyes lost.
I was a little puzzled, and before I could ask, Granny Blood explained first: "I have already told her about her father." ”
I shuddered, Cuicui already knew about Zhang Ling? It's no wonder she's so depressed and so sad right now.
Although I feel sorry for Cuicui in my heart, I have to feel lucky. Fortunately, Granny Blood has already told Cuicui the truth of the matter, otherwise I really don't know how to speak.
After hesitating for a moment, I took Zhang Lin's ashes to Cuicui. She slowly looked up at me, tears glistening in her eyes.
"This ...... It's your father's ashes, I'm sorry......" I was a little speechless, and I really didn't know how to explain it.
Cuicui squeezed out a smile with great difficulty, and shook her head with tears in her smile: "Don't be sorry, my dad is a hero." However, he really wasn't a good dad. ”
As she spoke, Cuicui picked up the ashes wrapped in her clothes and hugged them tightly in her arms. This scene made me feel distressed when I watched it.
I wanted to say some comforting words, but Granny Blood stopped me in time: "Let her be quiet, don't disturb her now." ”
I sighed secretly, maybe Granny Blood's approach was the most correct. At such times, what Cuicui needs most is not comfort, but a quiet environment.
If you put yourself in the shoes of Cuicui, I also feel like I need to be quiet.
Huang Ying pulled me and carried Xiao Hei with me into another room. This room is small in size and looks like a storage room, with all kinds of strange medicinal herbs hanging on the walls inside.
"Let's put Hei down first, it's not going to be good right now. But rest assured, I have a way to get it back to normal. Granny Blood said in a deep voice.
As I said this, I felt Xiao Hei tremble a little, it was scared.
After my soul became stronger, my six senses became more acute. Especially my feelings, I can clearly sense a mood swing from outsiders.
It is no wonder that some strong people can often see the mind of a stranger just by their eyesight. The principle is very simple, if you can even sense the mood fluctuations of the other party, then it is not difficult to guess the other person's mind at all.
Granny Blood didn't seem to be lying, I thought about it for a while, and asked softly, "Please also ask Granny Blood to help Xiao Hei return to normal." ”
With Xiao Hei here, even if it is not as strong as the wild and untamed, Xiao Hei can also bring me a lot of help. On the contrary, in this state, Xiao Hei can only cause me trouble.
Granny Blood was silent for a moment, and then responded, "It's easy to let Xiao Hei return to normal, but you have to promise me one condition." You must inherit the legacy of our corpse chaser faction. ”
I was stunned, and for a moment I thought I had heard it wrong, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?" I...... I don't quite understand what you mean, can you say it again? ”
The Blood Granny was not angry, and patiently explained: "The inheritance of our corpse chasing sect is divided into two parts, that is, refining corpses and chasing corpses. Now, the inheritance is on the verge of being severed, someone must inherit it, and you are the best candidate! ”
At this time, I was completely blinded, and asked very confusedly, "Why me?" There are quite a few people in your village, such as Zhang Lin, who is a very good choice. I'm just an outsider, how can I inherit the legacy of your corpse chaser faction? ”
Just kidding, I'm not interested in refining zombies at all. As for chasing corpses, it doesn't mean anything to me, not to mention that the method of chasing corpses should be in the hands of corpse chasers, and the blood mother-in-law may not have it.
Granny Blood shook her head: "The people in our village, there is no need to accept the inheritance anymore. We are destined to leave the land and blend in with the outside world, and I don't want the people in the village to be treated like monsters. ”
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, this explanation of Granny Blood was too far-fetched. I can understand that she doesn't want to accept the inheritance directly from the villagers, but what does that have to do with me?
Since they themselves are unwilling to accept the inheritance, it is better to let the inheritance be completely cut off, anyway, what corpse refining techniques and corpse chasing techniques are no longer useful in this era, and sooner or later they will be eliminated by the times.
"No, Granny Blood, you ......" I wanted to say a few words.
However, Granny Blood didn't give me more time to defend herself, and she interrupted me without hesitation: "I just want to ask you now if you are willing to accept the inheritance. If you don't want to, you can leave now. ”
Hey, my little temper, Granny Blood is obviously threatening me! What's the matter, if I don't want to accept the inheritance, she won't save Xiao Hei?
It's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, and I don't think anyone will believe it when I say it, but there are still people who force me to accept the inheritance?
I believe that if it were other members of the Spiritual Group, such as a disciple of the First Xuanmen who did not compromise for the sake of strength, he would definitely choose to accept the inheritance without hesitation when faced with such a situation.
But I really don't want to use this way to improve my strength, will I also go down the evil path in the future and start refining zombies or something?
"I'm sorry, Granny Blood, but I really don't want to accept your inheritance. If you are not willing to help Xiao Hei, I am not reluctant, I believe that after we go back, we will definitely have a way to solve Xiao Hei's trouble. I said in a deep voice.
Granny Blood's face changed, and she stared at me for a long time, and finally sighed: "Your reaction is exactly the same as recorded, and now I can be sure that you are the one in the prophecy!" ”
Granny Blood's words stunned me, what happened to my reaction? What do you mean by "the prophesied man"? Why did her words sound so godly?
"Take a look at this!" Granny Blood handed me a book that looked a little old.
When I opened the yellowed pages and saw the familiar handwriting on them, I was instantly stunned. The handwriting on this is exactly the same as the handwriting on the ancestral notes of our Chen family!
"This ...... This is the handwriting of our ancestors of the Chen family! I muttered in surprise.
Granny Blood nodded: "It doesn't seem to be wrong, Chen Banxian is the ancestor of your Chen family?" He had been to our village and was a close friend of one of our ancestors! You are taking a closer look, Chen Banxian's prophecy! ”
I don't need to be reminded by Granny Blood, I must first see what the ancestors have written. This should also be a notebook, the first few pages record some of the cultivation experiences of the ancestor Chen Banxian.
When I turned back, the ancestor finally mentioned Xiangxi, and I vaguely remember that my grandfather said that the ancestor did come to Xiangxi.
However, the ancestor Chen Banxian's trip to Xiangxi was very mysterious and did not leave too many traces. Unexpectedly, there is still a copy of the ancestor's notes here.
According to the records in the notes, after the ancestor came to Xiangxi, he found the corpse chaser faction at that time, and secretly discussed a major matter with the high-level of the corpse chaser faction.
Because the incident was so important, the ancestor only mentioned a few sentences in his notes, and did not describe it in detail.
But from the notes of the ancestors, I confirmed the words of the blood mother-in-law. The ancestor did have a close relationship with an ancestor in this village, and had a very close personal relationship.
It is worth mentioning that when the ancestors found the village at that time, the corpse chaser and the corpse refiner were not separated, and the village's defense array was still in full version.
Due to some misunderstandings, the upper echelons of the corpse chaser faction initially forbade the ancestors to enter the village. In desperation, the ancestors could only break through the defense array and forcibly break into the village.
The top leaders of the corpse chaser faction were shocked by the strength of the ancestor, and then the misunderstanding was resolved, and the ancestor helped the top level of the corpse chaser faction to improve the defensive formation again, making the formation more tight.
To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this. If the ancestors recorded in their notes how to improve the formation, I am confident that the current formation of the village will be completely strengthened according to the methods of the ancestors.
It's a pity, perhaps because of secrecy, the ancestor's experience of repairing the formation in his notes is only a passing mention.
Thinking about it carefully, if those materials were really recorded in the notes, it is estimated that the blood mother-in-law would have taken it out a long time ago, and there would be no need to wait until now.
After reading through the notes, the Ancestor and the higher-ups of the Corpse Chaser finally came to an agreement and decided to carry out a certain plan, and then left the village.
That plan is exactly the purpose of the ancestors who came to Xiangxi. Before leaving, the ancestor left a prophecy to warn the descendants of the corpse chaser faction.
The words of the ancestors are more obscure, and at the same time more obscure. The gist is that the corpse chasers will eventually split, and the corpse chasers and corpse refiners will eventually break up.
"When the building is about to collapse, the descendants of the Chen family will turn the tide." This is the most crucial sentence in the records of the ancestors.
I don't know what kind of mood the ancestor Chen Banxian wrote such a sentence in at that time, maybe he really expected that someone from the younger generation would come to Xiangxi? Or is it just a casual remark from the ancestors?
