All Chapters_Chapter 11: The Chen Family's Scheme
This is a scabbard made of white snake skin, three feet long, about two inches wide, the white snake skin with distinct scales and armor looks particularly eye-catching in the light, it is tightly wrapped in a long sword, the hilt is black, I don't know what kind of material it is made of, and the bright snakeskin scabbard is in sharp contrast.
"Grandpa, is this a sword?" I swallowed my saliva involuntarily and asked my grandfather, at this moment, in my eyes, my grandfather seemed to have turned into a hidden master, and this sword was his long-hidden peerless magic weapon.
Grandpa looked at the sword in the snakeskin scabbard in a daze, and fell into deep thought, until a moment later, he said leisurely: "Good grandson, do you remember the story I told you about Chen Shengzhi, the ancestor of my Chen family? ”
I nodded, this story my grandfather told me since I was a child, and I was about to hear the cocoon in my ears.
Grandpa ignored me, didn't even look at me, he looked at the snakeskin sword in his hand in a daze, and said to himself: "During the Kangxi period, because of that catastrophe, the entire Tsing Yi Village was slaughtered by the spirits on the back mountain, and Chen Shengzhi's parents and relatives were all killed. ”
"The hard work paid off, he searched for six whole years, and finally met a strange person on the top of Huashan, the ancestor of our Chen family finally got the Taoist spell taught by the strange person after going through many tests. Heaven pity to see, Chen Shengzhi is a natural cultivation genius, he only took five years, to reach the realm of ordinary people can only be cultivated for decades, after the Taoist Dacheng he returned to his hometown for revenge, did not expect to meet an evil Jiao on the Min River on the way, the ancestors fought with it for a long time, and finally killed it, and also found an ancient sword in the lair of the evil Jiao. When Grandpa said this, there was a ray of essence in his eyes, and his face was full of pride and pride.
I was a little fascinated by what I heard at the moment, my grandfather hadn't told me about this before, but he said very briefly that Chen Shengzhi cultivated the Taoism and returned to his hometown to kill the white snake, but I didn't expect that there were these interesting things on the way, after all, it was the ancestor of my Chen family, hearing this story, I was born with a sense of substitution.
"Is this the sword that the Ancestor found in the Evil Jiao's lair?" I asked curiously, looking at the sword wrapped in white snake skin, I was a little stupid for a while, and I automatically imagined the scene of the ancestor fighting the evil Jiao back then.
At this moment, there seemed to be a force in my body that drove me, and I involuntarily stretched out my hand to grab the black hilt, and my grandfather was rarely stunned at this moment, and he didn't expect that I would be bold enough to reach out and draw the sword.
The hilt of the sword is cold.
I pulled the hilt of the sword outward, and the sword was unsheathed, and the sonorous sound of the sword resounded throughout the room, and I couldn't stop roaring, and my eyes did not appear in front of me the kind of cold light described in the novel, but it was dark, and the earthen light bulb on the top of the room flickered violently at this moment, flickering on and off, just like when the voltage was unstable before.
Sonor!
Grandpa took the sword from my hand, and with a clap of his hand, he re-inserted the sword into the snakeskin scabbard, and the light in the room stabilized again, and the light bulb stopped flickering, as if what had just happened was just an illusion, dreamy and incredible.
I couldn't close my mouth with my mouth wide open, I was really surprised by what I had just done.
"You're a melon baby, you're quite bold." Grandpa yelled at me, but I saw a slight smile in his eyes, not like he was really angry.
I hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, what's the matter with this sword, ...... just now?"
But before I finished speaking, I was directly interrupted by my grandfather, and he said: "The words left by the ancestors are not complete, and I don't know the details of this sword, if you have the opportunity in the future, study it yourself, anyway, these things will be left to you in the future." ”
When I heard my grandfather's words, I was overjoyed, after all, most boys are born with a lack of immunity to things like swords.
"Alright, good grandson, now it's time for us to go up the mountain." Grandpa wrapped the snakeskin sword in blue cloth again, and took a strip of cloth to tie the sword to his back.
"Grandpa, what are we doing up the mountain? Is it to watch that old Taoist priest catch monsters? "I was a little excited, just now in the courtyard of the Zhao family I wanted to follow up the mountain to see the excitement, but grandpa was not allowed to go up the mountain at that time, I can only give up, now grandpa said to take me up the mountain, which makes me very excited.
The corners of Grandpa's mouth hooked up a touch of arc, and said with a smile: "Yes, let's go see that old Taoist priest catch monsters, hehe." ”
Grandpa got up from the bed and re-cloned the wooden box that was close to tatters, but he didn't even touch the other blue cloth wrapped in it, let alone open it.
I asked curiously, "Grandpa, what's the other cloth wrap?" Why don't you open it? ”
When grandpa heard my words, there was a hint of loneliness on his face, and he sighed and said, "Grandpa has no ability and is not qualified to open it." Since the Victory Ancestor, none of our successive generations of the Chen family has produced another Dao Wizard, and none of them are qualified to open or even use it. ”
"Maybe you will be in the future, no, as long as you succeed this time, good grandson, it will be yours in the future, and it will bloom with brilliant brilliance again in your hands! Our Chen family's three-hundred-year plan can only succeed, not fail! Even if you spell it all! The more Grandpa spoke, the more excited he became, and he looked at me with burning eyes, with longing and a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
I was a little scared to be stared at by my grandfather, although I knew that my grandfather would not harm me, but being looked at like this by him at the moment made me feel terrified.
I was 10 years old at the time, and although I was not very old, I still had the ability to think independently. At that moment, I felt like a chess piece, a chess piece that had been calculated by the ancestors of the Chen family, and every step of my life seemed to have been calculated by them.
I kept my head down, not daring to look at my grandfather. When he calmed down from his excited state, he took my hand and walked out of the house, I didn't speak, my grandfather didn't speak, and the two of them seemed to be in a strange state.
Out of the hall, I saw my mother standing at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw me come out, her eyes lit up, and she stretched out her hand, as if trying to pull me over.
But my grandfather snorted coldly at this time, staring at my mother fiercely with a pair of eyes, and under the sun, my grandfather's old face looked a little hideous.
My mother was so frightened by my grandfather's stare that she stretched out her hand and retracted it, after all, she was just a weak woman.
"He is my grandson Chen Youcai!"
My grandfather left this sentence, and regardless of my mother's reaction, he pulled me out directly, and my mother stood there stunned and watched us leave, until we were far away, she fell to the ground, tears continued to flow from her eyes, her mouth was open, but she couldn't say a word.
"Grandpa, I'm afraid!"
Most of the people in the village went to the courtyard of the Zhao family to see the excitement, but no one was seen on the road leading to the back mountain, and the desolate mountain road looked a little gloomy even in the sun.
Grandpa stopped, held my hand harder, he stared into my eyes, and said: "Good grandson, you must remember that our Chen family must straighten our waists and raise our heads all our lives, even if the road ahead is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we must be fearless to break through!" Don't say it's just a mountain road, even if those ghosts, monsters, evil spirits and zombies appear in front of you, you have to rush up with a knife, our Chen family, I'm afraid of a ball! ”
I was a little enthusiastic by what my grandfather said, and I tried to straighten my small waist and raise my head high, making a little manly appearance.
Grandpa saw my appearance, smiled, and then said to me with a serious expression: "Good grandson, listen, don't be afraid of what you see or hear when you go up the mountain." Grandpa tells you to do whatever you do, this is the most critical time for our Chen family in more than 300 years, and we must not let him fall short! ”
I nodded, and when I saw my grandfather's satisfied expression, I couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, you have said so many times about the Chen family's plans, what have our Chen family been planning in the past three hundred years?" ”
Grandpa was stunned for a moment, he stood up, his eyes were facing the sun hanging high in the sky, the tall figure seemed to be draped in a layer of golden armor in the sun, and he said in a sonorous voice:
"Take the fortune of the country and change people's lives!"
"The fish leaps over the dragon gate, and the carp turns into a dragon!"
