Chapter 427: Origin
After saying this, I looked at Chai Lao, and quickly made a decision in my heart, if the other party really wants to make trouble, then I will give him some color to see.
However, what the three of us didn't expect was that Chai Lao actually said, "You guys were just talking about going to the River Temple?" ”
As soon as we heard this, the three of us were stunned, and at the same time, we reacted, knowing that Chai Lao should have only heard what Xiao Xu said when he was discharged from the hospital.
Seeing that Chai Lao chased him out and asked about going to the River Temple, not about his identity, I also nodded happily and said, "Yes, the reason why we want to cross the river is indeed to go to the River Temple." ”
Chai Lao seemed to be afraid that he had misheard, so he asked again: "That river temple in the Yellow River?" ”
We nodded again, and at the same time I was a little surprised, thinking to myself, did this old man also know that there was a river temple in the Yellow River? So I asked, "Chai Lao also knows that there is a river temple in the Yellow River?" ”
Chai Lao said: "I know, everyone who lives in this place has heard the story handed down by the older generation, saying that there is a river temple under the Yellow River, but no one has seen it." What are you going to do with the River Temple? ”
At this time, Lao Liu Tou pointed at me and said to Chai Lao, "He is going to the River Temple to find a scroll of cultivation." ”
"Scrolls?" Chai Lao frowned and looked at me.
I nodded and said, "Yes, it's for a book related to the Tao, so I came all the way from Jiangxi this time." ”
Chai Lao stared at me for a few moments, and then said, "It's a map, right?" ”
This time I was really shocked, and I was stunned. I'm not surprised that he's a ghost, not a human, because I've had so many experiences with a ghost, but how would he know I'm looking for a map? I really can't figure this out.
At that moment, I asked him in surprise: "Chai Lao, what is the map you are talking about?" ”
Chai Lao said, "Are you going to look for a map called Gujing Lake?" ”
Although I already had a hunch that the map he was talking about was the map I was looking for, I still couldn't believe it when I heard these words come out of his mouth. You must know that the people in the Yin and Yang Lines have been looking for the map of the Ancient Realm Lake for hundreds of years, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for a few people to know about it, otherwise it will not be a secret.
Shocked in my heart, I asked Chai Lao, "How did you know that there is a map of Gujing Lake in the River Temple?" ”
Chai Lao seemed to recall something, and then replied, "Because I took a gentleman across the river more than thirty years ago, he went to the River Temple to find the map. ”
"Oh? How can this be? "I find this more and more interesting, this old man who can cross the river according to the villagers is not only a ghost, but also knows about the map of the ancient lake.
I asked Chai Lao: "The gentleman you carried, went to the River Temple and found the map?" ”
Chai Lao shook his head and said, "No, he never came up after he went down the river." Alas......"
I don't know why, when I heard Chai Lao say this, I had a wonderful feeling, and I felt that what he said was very familiar, because when the Hades King said that I came to the Yellow River to look for a map in my previous life, I also went down to the river and never came up again.
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but feel a little excited, and hurriedly asked, "Who is that gentleman you carried?" ”
After looking into the distance and thinking for a while, Chai Lao turned his head to look at me, and instead of answering my question, he said with interest: "He...... I believe in you a little, but he's older than you...... By the way, dare to ask the name of the gentleman? ”
"I am a Mr. Yin and Yang, surnamed Chen!" The other party is a ghost, so naturally I can't tell him my full name, in case he wants to hook my soul, it will be miserable. I still remember that when I went back to Xiangxi to find the Hades, I met an iron-clad ghost, and I almost gave my name that time. has suffered a loss once, and naturally will not be fooled again this time.
However, since the other party is a ghost, then I declare my identity, which can be regarded as a warning to him, I am Mr. Yin and Yang, if you want to beat me up for anything, it's best to stop, because I'm not an ordinary person.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that I was Mr. Yin and Yang, Chai Lao's expression was obviously stunned, showing fear, and he retreated step by step.
Seeing that he was really scared, I smiled and said, "As long as you are harmless, even though I am Mr. Yin and Yang, I will not touch you." ”
Hearing me say this, Chai Lao also put away a little fear, and then said to me: "It turns out that Mr. has seen through Lao Er a long time ago, but Mr. Please rest assured, Lao Er, I will not harm anyone." Since this is the case, there is nothing to hide, I want to know who the gentleman is, I wonder if I can tell him? ”
When he asked me for my name, my face changed and I was angry.
Seeing that my expression changed, Chai Lao hurriedly said, "Mr. misunderstood, I don't want to know your name, but ......"
"You don't want to know my name, so you want to know who I am?" I asked, frowning.
Chai Lao paused for a moment, pondered slightly, and then raised his head and asked, "Let me ask you this, are you a plague god?" ”
"Huh?" Now I was shocked again, I never thought he would say this. I felt incredible, and what happened tonight was always so unexpected that I was amazed, "You...... Why do you ask me that? Do you recognize me? ”
Chai Lao seemed to be very anxious, and he urged, "Sir, are you a plague god?" ”
I stared at him, thinking that since he had asked this, there was no need for me to hide anything, so I nodded and said, "What if I am a plague god and a star?" ”
When Chai Lao heard this, he couldn't help but be a little excited, and said, "Are you really a plague god?" ”
"Why do you recognize me as a plague god?" I didn't answer him, but asked my doubts directly.
Seeing me ask him like this, he suddenly knelt down in front of me with a snap, which made me stunned, and I wondered which one he was singing?
I saw Chai Lao kneeling down, and then he shouted excitedly: "Sir, you are finally here, the disciple has been waiting for you for more than 30 years, looking forward to it day and night, and today I finally looked forward to you, woo......"
In the end, Chai Lao actually burst into tears......
Now I look even more confused, I don't know what's going on right now, this situation is very surprising to me, how can this old man say kneel and kneel, and say that he has been waiting for me for more than 30 years?
Immediately, I called him up and said, "What's wrong with you, I can't afford to kneel down with you." ”
As the saying goes, the dead are the greatest, since the other party is a ghost, and I have no grace with him, how can I ask him to kneel.
Who knows, Chai Lao didn't want to get up, and said excitedly: "Sir, you don't remember me, I drove you across the river more than 30 years ago, and you said that you wanted me to wait for you to come back, and I waited for you for more than 30 years, woo...... Today you are finally back. ”
Hearing this, I seem to vaguely understand some reasons, since he asked me if I am a plague god, it is obvious that more than thirty years ago, that is, my previous life, he may have carried me across the river, otherwise he would not have said such inexplicable words, after all, the Hades King also said that more than thirty years ago, my previous life went to the river temple.
However, I don't remember anything about the events of my previous life, and although I can vaguely guess some signs now, I still don't know anything about the specifics, such as why he is waiting for me here. Did I have some agreement with him?
At that moment, I said to him: "Chai Lao, you get up first, let's talk about what you have to say." Although I am the fate of the plague god and the evil star, I can't remember anything about the events of my previous life, and I don't know what the relationship between us is? ”
As soon as Chai Lao heard what I said, he immediately reacted, looked at me with a sudden realization, and then said: "It's that I'm so happy to see you, so I don't remember the events of my previous life when I saw that you drank Meng Po soup." Speaking of our relationship, you are my benefactor, and my disciple has been waiting for you! ”
"Oh?" I frowned, how could I still be his benefactor? I was even more curious, so I asked, "What the hell is going on, you can tell me about it." ”
Chai Lao nodded, so he told me about him......
It turned out that Chai Lao originally lived by the Yellow River, and the Yellow River here could not be crossed, and his ancestors had this taboo for generations. However, once when he was trying to help people cross the river, the river suddenly blew violently and the waves were huge, so he fell into the river and became a ghost in the water. The ghost is a rootless soul that cannot enter the earth, cannot be reincarnated, cannot enter reincarnation, and Chai Lao has been in the Yellow River for more than a hundred years.
Chai Lao, who is a ghost in the river, looks forward to being reincarnated every day, but he is also kind-hearted as a ghost, and he can't bear to find a local person to be a substitute water ghost, so he has been trapped in the water and unable to survive.
One day more than 30 years ago, he finally waited for a foreigner to cross the river in the river, and he found the outsider and asked the outsider, can you jump into the river and let me go up to reincarnate?
The outsider was very surprised, so he said: "Aren't you water ghosts all secretly harming people and asking for their lives to find a substitute, how can you be so stupid, you want me to be your substitute ghost and come up to me and ask me if I will?" ”
