Chapter 23: The Past
"What happened to our family during the years I was asleep? Why would you be found out by the people of America? Looking at Yi Xi, who was eating French bread and drinking mineral water slowly, Matilda, who basically didn't know anything, asked the question in her heart first, because according to everything she did back then, she was confident that her descendants would live an ordinary life and basically would not be involved in the so-called disputes again, but the facts deviated from what she imagined, and her great-grandson not only awakened her husband's ability, but even attracted the attention of the American Empire, which became the most powerful country in the world after World War II.
"I don't know too much about the things of the ancestors," after swallowing the bread in his mouth, Yi Xi said, "I only know that since I can remember, everyone in our Yi family will die inexplicably, the earliest is grandpa, our generation has never seen him at all, according to my second uncle, that is, your second grandson, it seems that he died in an accident, but what kind of accident is, I don't know what Lu Dao is, and then there is uncle, cancer, aunt, suicide, and then my parents," Speaking of this, Yi Xi closed his eyes slightly, It didn't seem to want to recall everything, "When I was twelve years old, a so-called Wanfa cult carried out a suicide attack in the downtown area, and my parents instinctively blocked me in front of me and let me survive, whew~" After taking a deep breath, Yi Xi continued, "Then, just a few months ago, your great-great-grandson, Yi Xing, died of cancer, terminal lung cancer, just like his father. ”
Then, Yi Xi told Matilda about his inferences and everything he had done to break the curse to know Yelu Ao by coincidence.
"Yeluao?" Matilda's eyes widened, "This bastard, how did you survive until now?" He's at least one hundred and twenty years old now! ”
"Well," Yi Xi shrugged his shoulders, "and then he told me that my grandfather would leave the dragon clan because of what five disadvantages and three deficiencies, as if he was destined to have no descendants, he guessed that my grandfather should have used some way to break the curse, but it seems that the curse is not completely cracked, so that we will have a similar disaster, only by marrying out of Lu, can we live, grandma, this curse thing, I think you are clear." ”
"Mentioning this," Matilda's mood was also low, and similarly, that kind of sadness was more easily felt by Yi Xi because she was a soul, obviously, this hip-hop woman had far more pain in her heart than Yi Xi imagined, "Yelu Ao told you that your grandfather was born as a feng shui master, and later became a feng shui array mage." ”
"Well, I said, I also said, my grandfather was still the strongest man in the world at that time, I heard that my blood was a little boiling, my ancestors used to be so powerful, and I also said that you are an evil woman who likes to play tricks on people."
"This bastard!" Matilda, who was originally a little depressed, seemed to be diverted from her attention like this, "This bastard, if you have a chance in the future, you definitely want him to look good!" Also, I said how can you guess that I am me, so the answer is here! I retract what I just praised you. ”
“”
After a period of silence, there was another sigh, Matilda stirred the soup in the pot with a spoon, it smelled very fragrant, and it was full of French style, obviously, in terms of kitchen culture, the French Fifth Republic and the Later Tang Empire were two foodie powers on a par in the world, "Things are similar to what Yelu Ao said, your grandfather thought about quitting the rivers and lakes because of this, but the time of Verdun, in your grandfather's own words, the killing was too heavy, and the curse that acted on ordinary feng shui masters was infinitely magnified, As a result, before your grandfather, you also had a grandfather and ** grandmother, but they died before their first birthday, if this 'day' is really conscious, it just wants your grandfather to be the last one. ”
"And then? That's my grandpa."
"Your grandfather committed suicide," Matilda's gaze was slightly hollow, "He is a very old-fashioned person, so old-fashioned that if he has no queen, he will not have the face to see his ancestors and ancestors after death, and the Yi family has been a feng shui gentleman for generations, but there has never been a man like him who has expanded this curse to such an extent, so in his opinion, the only way is to commit suicide after I am pregnant, he dies, and the curse is gone, and his suicide note also said that from now on, the descendants of the Yi family are not allowed to practice the art of feng shui, lest they be punished by heaven like him, Families are ruined. ”
"What is not for the sake of the Devil?"
"Adoptive? Or, as you said, 'marry' your man out of the country? Matilda smiled bitterly, "If today, your grandfather is still alive, you and your second uncle, none of them can live, in his opinion, this kind of behavior is no different from betraying his ancestors, I argue with him, discuss, and even subtle influence, all useless, I'm afraid no one can imagine, like your grandfather, who is known as the strongest man in the world, died by suicide at the end, but even so, God doesn't seem to intend to let us go, maybe, if I remarry, You don't have to bear this senseless curse. ”
"It's good to know that Lu Dao," Yi Xi shrugged his shoulders and put down most of the remaining French long sticks, obviously, with his appetite, he couldn't eat much at all, not to mention that he knew that people couldn't eat a lot after they hadn't eaten for a long time, "Some things have passed in the past, at least now we know what Lu Dao is for, and we also know how to avoid such things in the future, besides, grandma, you are saying that in my opinion, people in your era are very loyal to love, Especially if you marry a man as good as my grandfather, it must be difficult for you to fall in love with other men in the future. ”
"Excellent fart, easy to die!"
“”
"What are you doing with that grandma?"
"It," Matilda gently hooked it with her hand, and the jade Pixiu hidden in Yi Xi's clothes floated out, and by the light of the fire, Yi Xi found that it had been reborn, crystal clear, as moist as a paste and ester, and even Yi Xi felt that it had become more profound than before with his own ability, although there was still no way to share information with it, "This is a strange treasure that your grandfather stole from the ancient tomb during his early adventures." ”
"My grandfather, isn't he Mr. Feng Shui?"
"Don't you know that every good feng shui master can become a good tomb robber?" Matilda raised her nostrils and looked at Yi Xi with a look of disdain, "You should know that this thing is called Pixiu, right?" ”
"Well, the nine sons of the dragon are different, and it should be one of the nine sons."
"That's right," Matilda reached out and touched the small Pixiu, which was not too big, as if he was stroking his own little pet, "However, this nine does not mean that the dragon only has nine sons, you must know that in ancient legends, the dragon is a very ** creature, so Pixiu can only be regarded as one of its many sons, or rather, it is the most famous of the dragon's many sons, and the so-called nine sons are only based on the nine most famous beasts, and the ability of this little guy is the same as the legend, Devouring all things and never excreting, the ability in the real world is that it can absorb all mutants, as well as the Gaia energy in the human body that can use the Gaia energy, or use it for its own use, or release the Gaia to conjure up a huge Pixiu to drive it into battle. ”
"It's entirely thanks to the fact that my soul has not dissipated after death, back then," Matilda took out a piece of meat from the pot and threw it into his mouth and chewed it a few bites, then spit it out, "it has no taste at all, it's damn it, probably when your grandfather was in his twenties, when I was nearly sixty years old, one night, I suddenly had a feeling that I was going to die, and then something happened that I will never forget in my life, I saw my soul, And those true qi that I have cultivated for many years have been slowly withdrawn from my body, and little by little I was absorbed by the Pixiu on my neck, at that moment, I even have a feeling that it is alive, this little guy wants to save me, and then I lost consciousness, it is estimated that in order to reduce the consumption of Gaia energy, it will become what you said, if it were not for the sudden appearance of so much Gaia energy in the air of Gaia Star, I am afraid it will not be long, at most a few years, I may really die. ”
"Gaia energy?" It wasn't until Matilda brought it up that Yi Xi realized that there really seemed to be something more in the air around him, constantly drilling into his head, and the result was that the farthest distance of his ability seemed to have become much farther away, "Incredible, that is, if there was no such change, I'm afraid I would have been captured by the Americans?" ”
"Almost," Matilda narrowed her eyes slightly, "When this energy appeared in the air, Pixiu instinctively began to absorb it, and I gradually woke up from my slumber, the mutation made me a ghost with true qi, although I still need to be attached to people to use it, in a sense, you are a gun, and I am the bullet inside, but now yours, the gun is still a little small." ”
“”
"After that," after teasing her great-grandson with a little wicked taste, Matilda continued, "In a few hours, I recovered most of my past strength, and I also got some information from the conversations of those guys, your identity as a descendant of Yi Chen was discovered, and at the same time, you have awakened your ability, so those people want to study you, hoping to find out what your grandfather will be so powerful, and then I will kill them, and by the way, I will supplement some high-concentration Gaia energy, It was the last thing that brought you here. ”
"High purity Gaia energy?" Yi Xi took a small sip of mineral water, bread was still very dry, and then asked with some curiosity, "Is it gasoline or something else?" ”
