Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Contradiction between Guest and Host
Because more than two hundred years have passed, only the most important content is still left when the events of that year reached the Zhao family, and the fact that the daughter of the Sun family was taken away by the Taoist priest is irrelevant, and Zhao Chengzu does not know the specific reason.
Listening to what he said, we all understood the ins and outs, it was nothing more than that the credit knife man helped the Sun family repair the Qinglongyan to suppress the Ziwei Emperor's life, and it could not be excavated until the three paintings were realized after nine generations. With the ability of the credit knife man, he must have calculated that we will come to this book in the future, and this book can attract us, so he will ask the Zhao family to help take care of the book.
Zhao Chengzu finished speaking one by one, and then said, "A few days ago, a few people came to this Qinglong Weir to drain the water inside, we were afraid that they would move the tomb or take away the book early, so we came to check, my daughter was drowned in it like this." We can't help but do what the ancestors entrusted, otherwise we will be deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, so we must get the book "Across the Eight Directions", and give it to them when the descendants of the Sun family come. ”
I only thought that the Zhao family went to Qinglongyan for themselves, but now I know that it is to help keep the book in Qinglongyan, and I don't have such a bad impression of the Zhao family.
When I was about to say that I was the descendant of the Sun family, Yuan Shouyi glanced at me, pulled me again, and motioned for me not to say it, and I immediately shut up.
Yuan Shouyi said, "This matter is so important, you just tell us so, aren't you afraid that we will snatch that book and snatch that life?" ”
Zhao Chengzu smiled, "The last emperor Puyi has abdicated, where are there any emperors in this world, what is the use of the emperor's destiny you say even if it is released now?" Even if it is useful, at most, it can only restore the glory of the Sun family to the Qing Dynasty, and it doesn't make much sense to say it. Besides, more than 200 years have passed, and according to the credit knife man, the Sun family has been poor for three generations, begging for three generations, and farming for three generations. The so-called rich is only three generations, poor is not three generations, they have to be poor for a total of nine generations, it is estimated that there are no descendants for a long time, and we only keep that book as an explanation to our ancestors. ”
Yuan Shouyi nodded in relief.
What Zhao Chengzu said was reasonable, but he missed one place, that is, Yin Division, there is no emperor in the yang world, but Yin Division still exists.
Yuan Shouyi listened to the whole story before saying, "Since this is the case, we can promise you to help your daughter retrieve the body, and I have only one condition." ”
As soon as he heard that Yuan Shouyi agreed, Zhao Chengzu was afraid that Yuan Shouyi would regret it, so he hurriedly said, "You say." ”
Yuan Shouyi, "If the descendants of the Sun family appear, you must hand over the book to the descendants of the Sun family." ”
This request is not too much, Zhao Chengzu naturally nodded again and again and said, "Of course, as long as the descendants of the Sun family appear, I will offer it with both hands without saying a word, if the descendants of the Zhao family want to restore the prosperity of the Zhao family in the Qing Dynasty, I will definitely help from it." ”
After the discussion, Zhao Chengzu didn't let us immediately go to help Zhao Jingshu retrieve the body, it was expected that we didn't sleep last night, so he invited us to go to his house to rest first, and when we were ready, we would come to Qinglong Pond.
Yuan Shouyi also nodded in agreement, and after that, several people left here, and the Zhao family drove us to their residence.
Although Yuan Shouyi said before that most of the warlock families are rich, but when I really arrived at the Zhao family, I knew what the concept of wealth was, I had never heard of the size of the house, and I had never seen the luxury of the house.
When he entered the house, he really became a peasant uncle and entered the city, and he was afraid of soiling the house when he stepped on the ground, so he was a little restrained.
Although Zhao Wen is afraid of Huang Yunqiu, he is not afraid of Yuan Shouyi at all, let alone me, Huang Yunqiu and Chen Yingying have temperament and appearance, and Yuan Shouyi and I are dwarfed.
When we entered the house, Zhao Chengzu invited us to sit down, and Zhao Wen glanced at me and Yuan Shouyi with disgust, "You have a lot of ash on your bodies, can't you sit down after you have cleaned up." ”
We came all the way from Santou Village, and slept in the open air, no matter how much we loved cleanliness, our bodies were dirty, and dust was inevitable, and we were disgraced, not like farmers, but more like beggars begging for food.
Zhao Wen was still hostile to me and Yuan Shouyi, and Zhao Chengzu was still counting on us to help him get his daughter's body, so he glared at Zhao Wen and told him to shut up.
I looked at Zhao Wen and laughed, and sat down directly, Zhao Wen only frowned when he looked at it, and muttered a little beggar, I didn't want to look at us anymore, turned around and went upstairs, out of sight and out of mind.
After Zhao Wen left, Zhao Chengzu sat down and chatted with Yuan Shouyi, while I leaned back in the chair and dozed off, I don't know how long I slept this time, and when I woke up and looked at the watch hanging in the room, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon.
I looked left and right again, and I didn't see Yuan Shouyi and Huang Yunqiu, only Chen Yingying was sitting next to me, and it was the son-in-law Zhao Wen who was sitting next to Chen Yingying.
Zhao Chengzu and Zhao Jingshu were also not in the house, so I asked Chen Yingying, "What about them?" ”
Chen Yingying said softly, "They went to Qinglongyan." ”
I sighed, glanced at Zhao Wen next to me, Zhao Wen also kept glancing at me, the face was still written with disgust, and when I woke up, I smiled and said, "Are you a pig?" ”
Zhao Wen can say anything good in his mouth, he definitely doesn't want to ask about my physiognomy, it's just that he is just teasing me when he sees that I have slept for so long.
I don't want to deal with Zhao Wen, besides, this is his home, I am a guest, he is the master, I can only restrain myself, 100,000 don't want to stay alone with this Zhao Wen, so I said to Chen Yingying, "Let's go out and take a walk." ”
Chen Yingying didn't want to stay here anymore to suffer from Zhao Wen's eyes, nodded her head and said yes, got up and walked out with me, but only after a few steps, Zhao Wen shouted behind him, "You don't have to pretend to be pitiful, if you can't find your way back now, my father will think that I made you angry when he comes back." A few of you have a little ability for that Huang Yunqiu, who knows if she is a true Taoist priest and a mountain god? Maybe you are pretending to deceive us, I really don't understand why my father believes you so much. ”
I looked back at Zhao Wen, "It seems that your father and your sister begged us to help, and besides, we have never offended you." ”
"I just can't get used to you, you look at what you're wearing, and then look at you, no one believes you when you say you're not a beggar." Zhao Wendao.
I've lived for so long, and it's the first time I've been so humiliated and despised by someone, and I'm angry, "It's none of your business what I wear, at least I'm still like a person, you dress like a human, but what you do is not what people do, you can be a son-in-law in this life, without your father and your sister, you have to starve to death." ”
Chen Yingying estimated that it was the first time she had seen me sneer at others like this, she was stunned, and then nodded, "Yes!" ”
Zhao Wen was already unhappy with me, but when I sneered at him like this, I was surprised that I didn't get angry, but just looked at me and smiled coldly and said, "Do you know who the book and the emperor's life in the Qinglong Weir are for?" That's what my father left me, and if I got that book and got that life, the next time someone like you saw me, I would have to kneel and kowtow. ”
Hearing what he said, Chen Yingying and I were stunned at the same time.
What he said was completely different from what his father said, his father said with sincerity that he would hand over the life and the book to the descendants of the Sun family, but what he said was reserved for him.
Before, Yuan Shouyi stopped me from saying that I am a descendant of the Sun family, but now I understand, I am afraid that Yuan Shouyi has seen through it, where can ordinary people not be tempted by such a great creation, Zhao Chengzu behaved too fairly, and it is completely inconsistent with normal people.
"Don't cry in two days." Knowing that the Zhao family had a ghost in their hearts, they didn't care about Zhao Wen's verbal insults at all, the ancestors of the Sun family had planned for nine generations, and they couldn't let the Zhao family take it away.
Saying that, Chen Yingying and I were about to leave the Zhao family, and just after taking a few steps, Zhao Wen's voice came from behind him, "You two dare to step out of this door and try it, if because the two of you are gone, my father scolds me, you can see who is crying." ”
Hearing this, I smiled and stepped out of the door with Chen Yingying.
Although I don't have any skills, but I have seen more of the world than him, I didn't see his threat at all, just stepped out of the door, but saw Zhao Wen rushing towards Chen Yingying with a piece of rune paper in his hand, and when he arrived at Chen Yingying, he was about to paste the rune paper on it.
Seeing this, I hurriedly raised my fingers and recited the 'Mighty Divine Mantra'.
