All Chapters_Chapter 22: The Apprentice
When we returned to the village, the whole Tsing Yi village exploded.
At the beginning, when Yang Kun dragged Zhao Laowu and Xu Wenze, who had fallen into a coma, back to the Zhao family compound, those villagers made a fuss, and everyone saw with their own eyes that Wuwei Zhenren took a few of them up the back mountain to catch demons, but now Wuwei Zhenren is nowhere to be seen, but the tearful Yang Kun dragged Zhao Laowu and Zhao Laowu, who had talisman paper on their foreheads, came back, all of which couldn't help but make the villagers of Tsing Yi Village feel a big stone in their hearts, they were afraid of annoying the spirits on the mountain and coming to them for revenge.
It wasn't until our group came back with the seriously injured grandfather and the unconscious Wuwei Zhenren that all the people in the village who received the news rushed over and surrounded my house tightly. They looked at the wounds on my grandfather and Wuwei Zhenren in horror, and a wave of panic spread through the village.
Later, my dad stood up and drove the onlookers out, saying that the monster on the mountain had been subdued by the robed girl, so that everyone should not panic. Although the villagers were temporarily reassured, I saw that the eyes they looked at the girl with suspicion as they left.
When everyone in the village had almost been persuaded to leave, my grandfather called me to my bedside, and he had something to say to me.
I knew what my grandfather wanted to say to me, and I couldn't help but feel a little panicked, because what I saw after entering that glimmer of heaven was really incredible, and I didn't get what the ancestors of the Chen family wanted me to get, so I didn't know how to tell my grandfather about all this.
Grandpa lay on his side on his old wooden bed, his wounds medicated and lightly bandaged. I saw that his face was a little pale, which was a sign of excessive blood loss.
"Good grandson, tell grandpa, do you get the things in there? Is my Chen family's three-hundred-year plan a success? Although Grandpa's face was not good-looking, his eyes shone with an unusually bright brilliance.
I looked at my grandfather with anticipation, bit my lip, and told him everything I had seen in the strange alien city and the castle, and even the strange dream I had in front of the bronze statue.
I watched as my grandfather's face changed as I spoke, sometimes white, sometimes red, until finally I finished the story, and grandpa's expression finally calmed down, and his face was like water in a basin, without a trace of fluctuation.
I thought that when my grandfather listened to me, he would be furious or sad, but I never thought that my grandfather would look at me so quietly, with a calm face on his face.
I was a little scared, and I lowered my head and touched the corner of my clothes.
After a while, I heard my grandfather whisper: "Tsing Yi, Baishi ......"
I looked up at my grandfather and wanted to say something, but I couldn't. Grandpa glanced at me and said, "Okay, that's the end of this matter, I'll deal with it in the future." You go and call your dad in, I have something to tell him. ”
I nodded silently and turned to leave, and the moment I turned around, I saw that my grandfather's old face looked a little hideous at this moment, and his eyes were full of cruelty.
I came out and told my dad what was going on, and he nodded and walked to Grandpa's room. I saw my dad with something in his hand, a bronze mask with a strange shape.
Anyway, things finally came to an end, and when I got home, I was much happier, after all, I still have lingering palpitations when I think about what I experienced in the old city.
"Xuan Wazi, hurry up and change your pants. You see you're getting your pants wet. My mom came out with a pair of pants and yelled at me.
I was instantly embarrassed, I saw the girl in the Taoist robe standing quietly at the door, her body shaking unnaturally, and a smile appeared on her handsome face.
"You fart doll, you're a little older, and you'll learn to look at other women." My mom grabbed me and forcibly pulled me into the house, ignoring my embarrassed face.
But to my surprise, as soon as I entered the house, my mother hugged me and cried bitterly, she cried and shouted: "Xuan Wazi, mother's son, you stay away from your grandfather in the future, your brother is dead, and my mother doesn't want you to have an accident like him!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, my brother? A brother who never seemed to appear in my memory, but judging from the repeated words of my father and my mother, it seems that he died a little strangely.
I reached out to wipe the tears from my mother's face and said, "Mom, tell me, what's the matter with my brother?" ”
When my mother heard my words, she was stunned for a moment, and then she cried and said, "You were just born that year, and my mother wanted to take you, so I couldn't take your brother away." Your brother was taken to the city by your grandfather, and then your grandfather came back and said that the dragon baby fell into the Tsing Yi River and drowned, we invited a lot of people to salvage, and in the end we didn't find the bones of the dragon baby, your father suspected that this matter had something to do with your grandfather, his expression at the time was really weird, not at all like the person who died his grandson......"
When my mom said that, she started crying again. And I feel that this matter does not seem to be so simple, and the secret hidden by my Chen family does not seem to be just what my grandfather said, but what is the truth of all these things, I can't think of it as a ten-year-old doll.
In the evening, the girl in the robe woke up the unconscious Zhao Lao Wu and Xu Wenze, and the tearful little fat man Yang Kun and Xu Wenze, who had just woken up, drove the seriously injured Wuwei Zhenren to the county hospital. And the daughter of the Zhao family somehow suddenly came to her senses, and when she heard what others were telling, she sat on the ground with her head in her arms and cried bitterly.
The matter seemed to settle down until about eight o'clock in the evening, when an old man came into my yard.
This old man is not tall, dressed in a green cloth robe, his hair is a little gray, and his wrinkled face has a kind smile, looking like an old uncle next door, which makes people feel good at first sight.
"Old-timer, which one are you looking for?" I was sitting in the courtyard and eating melon seeds with Erlang's legs crossed, and when I saw the old man enter my yard, I hurriedly got up and asked him.
When the old man heard me ask him, he looked at me carefully, his eyes suddenly brightened, and there was a flash of excitement in them, some of which looked like Wuwei Zhenren was looking at me at the door of Zhao's house, but the old man in front of him seemed more peaceful.
"Little friend, you are Chen Zixuan, I'm looking for your father." The old man looked at me and said with a smile, his countenance indescribably kind.
At this moment, a petite figure suddenly came out of my door, it was the cold Dao-robed girl in the daytime, and she walked towards me with a smile on her face.
I was overjoyed, thinking she was smiling at me, but somehow I seemed to have a special affinity for this woman.
But to my disappointment, the girl in the robe ignored me, walked directly past me, came to the old man, and called out crisply, "Master, you are here." ”
The old man smiled and said, "Yueting, what's going on." ”
Yueting?
I remembered that my dad called her "Mu Daochang" on the back mountain, is this girl's name Mu Yueting?
Mu Yueting nodded and said, "Master, there is indeed a head on that mountain, and it still speaks, not in the language of beasts, but in the real language of our humans!" ”
"Oh?"
The old man was startled, but quickly calmed down, and said with a smile: "That may be what kind of creation it has, there are too many secrets hidden in this world, and many things will be beyond the imagination of us humans." ”
Mu Yueting said, "Master, is the matter done?" That awesome ghost ......"
When I saw the old man's face, he instantly became serious, he shook his head at Mu Yueting, and said, "That ghost has a problem!" I chased him to Dujiangyan, but I didn't expect him to escape into the heart of the river, there seems to be something under Dujiangyan, I don't dare to move, wait for me to check some ancient books to see if there is a record of Dujiangyan. ”
The old man paused for a moment, and then said, "And it seems that there are zombies in Chengdu recently, and I suspect it has something to do with it." It's not been a peaceful year. ”
When Mu Yueting heard the old man's words, she couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Zombies?" There seem to be few zombies in Sichuan, could it be ......?"
"It's rare to say that that ghost dares to appear in Qingcheng Mountain, this thing is not simple! Forget it, let's talk about it when we go back, and now we should settle this child's affairs first. The old man looked down at me and smiled.
"Daoist Jiang! Here you are, come in and sit! At this moment, my father suddenly came out of the house, and he was so happy that he kept rubbing his hands together and walked towards the old man.
When the old man saw my dad coming, he smiled and said, "Han Tao, this is your doll, it's very cute." ”
When my dad heard the old man's praise for me, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said to me: "Gua Wazi, what are you doing in a daze, call someone, quickly call Jiang Dao Chang." ”
I glanced at the old man and Mu Yueting on the side, and said in a whisper, "Good Dao." ”
The old man smiled and nodded, looking at me with a softer and softer look, he said to my father, "You doll is not simple! With great luck, if you enter my Dao Gate, in the future, you will be ......"
My dad listened to Jiang Daochang's words, his face suddenly changed, he stepped forward and whispered to Jiang Daochang: "Daochang, this time I came to you for this matter, my old man seems to have done something to my doll, I'm afraid, I only have this doll now, and I don't want him to have an accident!" ”
Jiang Daochang nodded silently and said to my father: "This matter of your Chen family is indeed not simple, the bronze mask you showed me last time is like a ...... Well, it is an extremely important and rare thing, and generally speaking, it is impossible for it to appear in the hands of your Chen family at all. And this doll in your house should have been tampered with, and it is impossible for him to be in ordinary people. ”
My dad listened to Jiang Daochang's words, his face became a little ugly, and he said, "That Daochang, my doll ......"
But before my dad could finish speaking, Jiang Daochang interrupted him, he waved his hand and said, "I'm not busy with this matter, let me meet your old man of the Chen family first." ”
My dad nodded and led Jiang Daochang to the house. I watched him take Jiang Daochang into my grandfather's house, I followed behind and wanted to sneak in to have a look, but my dad found out, he glared at me and said, "Go out, adults talk about things, what are you doing in this fart doll!" ”
I was thrown out of the house in disgrace and sat sullenly on a stool in the hall.
I saw the robed girl Mu Yueting sitting on the side with her eyes closed, and her delicate face looked a little dreamy under the light.
"Sister." I had the audacity to scream, and I didn't know why I was speaking at this point.
Mu Yueting opened her eyes and glanced at me, her clear eyes were like autumn water, and she said softly, "Is there something wrong?" ”
I was stunned, I didn't know what to say with my mouth open, and suddenly my face turned red with shame.
Mu Yueting smiled, closed her eyes, ignored me, and her slender eyelashes cast a beautiful arc on her eyelids.
At this moment, the door of my grandfather's house suddenly opened, and I saw my grandfather and Jiang Daochang walking in front, and my father followed behind them with his head down.
Grandpa glanced at me with some complications, turned his head to Jiang Daochang and said solemnly, "I hope you don't lie to me!" ”
A smile appeared on Daoist Jiang's kind face, and he said to his grandfather, "Don't worry." ”
At this time, my dad came over, pulled me and said, "Xuan Wazi, I have discussed it with your grandfather, and you will be an apprentice to Jiang Daochang in the future!"
Apprentice?
Does my dad mean that I want to worship the old man in front of me as a teacher?
Jiang Daochang bent down, looked into my eyes and said, "Little doll, you will give me Jiang Chengdao as an apprentice in the future!" ”
