All Chapters_Chapter 42: Grandpa is gone
That night, an operation organized by the government and assisted by the Qingcheng Taoist faction to encircle and suppress the zombies finally ended in failure, and the power displayed by the female zombie completely shocked the local government, and they asked for help from the western military region, and reported to the central leadership, it seemed that they wanted to use the power of the whole country to destroy this powerful monster.
It's just strange that in the end, the order passed down from above is contrary to everyone's speculation, and the matter about the female zombie and the evil dragon soul that night has been completely covered up, and it seems that the leaders above are unwilling to dwell on this matter, as for the reason, it is not for us to know.
The Fulongguan that has stood for 2,000 years was completely razed to the ground by two legendary monsters, and even the entire Dujiangyan water conservancy project was slightly affected, and the official statement about this matter was a fire caused by a sudden earthquake, which damaged the Fulongguan building that had already decayed, and the government in order to rebuild the Dujiangyan Scenic Area, the original Fulongguan was banned for two years.
This matter seems to have been resolved, and after that, I followed the master back to the Taoist temple of Qingcheng Mountain that belongs to our lineage, originally Chief Li wanted to leave me behind, he said that I was sucked by zombies, and if I don't take quarantine measures, I'm afraid there will be unexpected consequences.
My master stood up, even if he was seriously injured at the time, he still stood in front of me, he sternly rejected Chief Li's suggestion, maybe Master Yu Wei was still there, and Chief Li didn't embarrass me in the end, but when I left, he looked at me deeply a few times. At the beginning, the female zombie and the evil dragon soul did something extraordinary to me, and they all saw it.
After returning to the Taoist Temple in Qingcheng Mountain, the master asked Mu Yueting to soak a large bucket of water in white glutinous rice, he said that although I have not yet shown the symptoms of corpse poison on my body, but I am afraid of everything, he asked me to take off my clothes and soak in the bucket, saying that this can drive away the corpse poison of the zombie in the body, I did not refuse, even if I can feel that the female zombie does not seem to have malicious will towards me, but after all, I have been sucked by her, for fear of becoming the kind of zombie in Hong Kong movies.
I took off my shirt and was about to take off my pants when I saw Mu Yueting standing on the side, and my face turned red all of a sudden. Even though I'm still a child, the village dolls often see cows and horses doing things like that, so I can feel the difference between men and women even in a vague way.
Mu Yueting saw me looking at her, the expression on her face did not change, but there were two blushes floating on her fair cheeks, she reached out and threw a bath towel into the bucket, turned around and left.
The master on the side, seeing this scene, showed a smile on his face, stroked his somewhat gray beard, and walked out. I stripped off my clothes and stepped into the bucket full of glutinous rice, feeling a little uncomfortable, but nothing unusual happened, just like ordinary bath water.
I secretly thought in my heart that the female zombie might really have no malicious intent, and there was no corpse poison left on my body, all of which I am afraid is that the master is too careful.
……
Since the incident in Dujiangyan Fulongguan, my life has gradually calmed down, and I have not encountered these strange things for a long time.
About half a month later, my father and my mother came to Dujiangyan, and they found Qingcheng Mountain according to the address left by the master. When I came out of the Taoist temple, I saw my father and my mother's dusty figures, my heart was hot, and I immediately pounced, lying in my mother's arms and crying loudly, crying out together with the grievances and fears that had been buried in my heart for a long time, and I have experienced too many strange things during this period of time.
The long-haired monster hand in the Funan River, the white-clothed female ghost that appeared in the middle of the night, the female zombie with a strange origin and the miserable and desolate evil dragon soul, so many bizarre and extremely strange things happened to me in a short period of time, not to mention that I am just a ten-year-old child, even if it is a strong adult, I am afraid that the performance will not be much better than me.
My mother looked at me crying in amazement, she could not have imagined that in such a short period of time, her son had encountered all kinds of demons and monsters, and my mother thought that I was scared because I was away from home for the first time. She took me in her arms and whispered comfort, while my dad walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder without saying anything.
I felt the affection and warmth between my family, and the tiredness and fear of the past few days gradually dissipated in my heart, and I finally didn't tell them what I had experienced during this time, but just told them that I was doing well with Master.
My dad and the others followed me into the Taoist temple and met Master and Mu Yueting, after many days of cultivation, Master's injuries left during the battle with the evil dragon soul were almost better.
After they exchanged a few pleasantries, I heard a piece of news from my dad that was neither good nor bad, but I cared so much about it.
"Old man, do you mean grandpa is gone? Where has he gone? I asked anxiously.
Just now my dad told me that since I left with Master, Grandpa had been at home for a few days, and when he saw that his injuries were about to heal, Grandpa suddenly ran away from home and left home on a cold morning.
As the patriarch of the Chen family, grandpa didn't tell anyone in the Chen family in the village about it, even the village chief and some elders of the Chen family in the village didn't know anything about grandpa's departure. Only my dad saw a note left by my grandfather on the table of the Eight Immortals at home.
My dad looked at me and sighed, "Your grandfather said on the note that he went to find something important to you, and he said that everything in our Chen family is on that thing." Alas, who knows his affairs, what he has done over the years is always weird, I don't know what he wants to do, isn't it good for everyone to live an ordinary life? ”
I bit my lip and heard my father's words, and probably guessed my grandfather's purpose, something that was very important to me, wasn't that the white stone in the ancient castle in the mountain behind Tsing Yi Village?
The mysterious white stone related to the ancient Qiang country of Tsing Yi, but in my dream, the white stone has been held by a short man in Tsing Yi, and I don't know if it was hundreds of years or thousands of years ago, what Chen Shengzhi couldn't get at the beginning, can my grandfather find it? Where is he going to look?
I don't know what kind of person my grandfather was, but when I was a child, I used to sit on my grandfather's shoulders and be taken by him to play in the village, and at that time my grandfather was a kind and kind elder in my heart. But after those things on the mountain behind Tsing Yi Village, as well as the secrets of the Chen family that my grandfather told me, I always felt that my grandfather still had extraordinary secrets, and he became mysterious in my eyes, I don't know if he was like what he said, everything was to complete the plan of the ancestors of the Chen family three hundred years ago.
A thought crossed my mind and I asked my father, "Grandpa took away the sun?" ”
My dad was stunned and said inexplicably: "Occultation? That's what it is. ”
I touched my nose, it seems that my dad has not heard of the name of the sun-covering sword, so he can only say stupidly: "It's the bronze sword that grandpa took when we came back from the back mountain!" Didn't you see it last time? ”
My dad was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "You said that the bronze sword, probably was taken away by your grandfather, not only the sword, but your grandfather's house was turned into a mess, and the old wooden bed was moved to the door. I don't know what was put in it, alas, your grandfather is too mysterious. ”
I heard my dad's complaint, and my heart couldn't help but move, thinking of the two ancestral treasures of the Chen family that my grandfather showed me when I was in my grandfather's house, the long one was the sun covering sword in the eight swords of the king of Yue, and the short package was not opened, it seemed that it was also the weapon of Chen Shengzhi, the ancestor of the Chen family, but grandpa kept sighing that he was not qualified to open it, and I had never seen what the things under the package were.
But where is he going to find it?
The matter about Tsing Yi Village and Dujiangyan also came to an end here, my mother and my father wanted to see me often, and because my grandfather also left home, the land on the back mountain was also requisitioned as a tea planting base. They didn't have anything to worry about in Tsing Yi Village, so they simply rented a house at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.
My dad and my mom went to a small unit with Master's help to find a stable job, and although they didn't make much money, they were more than enough to support a family, and they would come up to the mountains every once in a while to see me and bring me some food and fruits that were rarely found in the mountains.
As for me, I learned the techniques and knowledge of our vein with the master in the Taoist temple in the mountain behind Qingcheng, but what made me feel strange and helpless was that in the very beginning of the period, the master did not teach me to learn those spells that seemed very powerful to exorcise ghosts and catch demons, nor did he teach me the ability to pinch my fingers and calculate.
On the contrary, let me get up every day before dawn, starting from the Taoist temple and running down the stone steps to the bottom of Qingcheng Mountain, back and forth for several hours, almost tired me half to death, the master also said that this is to exercise a strong physique for me, he said that if the physical fitness of people in our vein is too poor, when we often come into contact with ghosts and demons, don't say that I surrender them, I am afraid that others can beat me half to death at once.
When Master said this, I couldn't help but think of the incident when Master was slapped away by the tail of the evil dragon soul in Fulongguan, and I looked at Master with burning eyes, with a hint of a smile on the corner of my mouth. Master also seemed to see what I was thinking, and his old face couldn't help but turn red, and he became even more strict with my training.
Master asked Mu Yueting to supervise my exercise every morning, and Master's trick worked surprisingly well, with Mu Yueting by my side, I really didn't dare to be lazy when I exercised, I don't know why, I seem to have a special emotion for her.
After some of my daily physical training, Master would always catch some pheasants, hares and other wild meat for me from the mountains to nourish my body, and he would make a large bucket of potion every day with some strange and unpleasant herbs and some strange things, and he would let me soak in this potion for a while after exercising every day, saying that it would be very good for my body.
Perhaps Master's method is really useful, and I can clearly feel that my body is getting stronger day by day, like a strong little tiger.
The days went on like this, until one day, Master called me to him, and he looked at me and said that from today onwards, he was going to teach me Taoism......
