A girl with her eyes closed? Take her as an apprentice?

I looked at Xiao Tong and couldn't figure out the meaning of his words. Since it is said to be a transaction, then the conditions of both parties should be in their favor, this Xiao Tong is hundreds of times more powerful than me in terms of skills and spells, and even my master may not be comparable to him. If that girl is important to him, why doesn't he take the apprentice himself, but let me, a half-hung Taoist, accept it, which is not at all reasonable.

"Don't worry, this matter will benefit you and do you no harm." Xiao Tong looked at me and said lightly, his eyes looked into the distance, not knowing what he was looking at.

I bit my lip and asked the doubts in my heart: "Uncle Xiao's ability is thousands of times greater than mine, if that girl wants to apprentice, why doesn't Uncle Xiao take in the apprenticeship himself, but let me go?" ”

Xiao Tong smiled slightly, he lowered his head to look into my eyes, and said leisurely: "There are some reasons why I can't talk to you in detail, but I won't lose you, otherwise your master won't be reconciled with me." ”

I thought about it, since Xiao Tong is unwilling to explain the matter of apprenticeship, then I won't ask, anyway, this matter doesn't seem to be harmful to me for the time being. I immediately agreed to Xiao Tong's conditions, and at the same time asked, "Uncle Xiao, I agreed to your request, you can always tell me about my grandfather's traces now." Where am I going to find my grandpa! ”

Although what Xiao Tong said just now was ambiguous, the people I wanted to find the most were none other than Chen Shengzhi, Grandpa and Turtle Ling. Chen Shengzhi and Turtle Ling are characters from many years ago after all, and in terms of common sense, it is basically impossible for me to meet them again. So in the end, the only thing left is naturally my grandfather, the old man who brought me up since I was a child, as long as I find him, I will definitely get the deeper secrets of the Chen family from his mouth. Originally, I wanted Master to see if he could wake up Xia Lei, and then go to find Grandpa from the clue between the Goji people and Baishi, but now that I can get guidance from Xiao Tong, it would be a good thing.

Xiao Tong listened to my words, but did not answer my question directly, but said to me with a serious face: "Before I tell you, you swear that if you meet that girl in the future, you must take her as an apprentice." ”

I was stunned for a moment, I naturally knew such a thing as a Taoist oath, which is a kind of oath made by a practitioner when he agrees to other people's conditions, and this kind of oath is actually no different from what ordinary people say when they swear vows. But it is very important for a practitioner, because once you make a vow, it is equivalent to planting a seed in your heart, and if you don't achieve it, then this seed will take root and sprout, break your Dao heart, and generate demons on the path of cultivation. Therefore, practitioners generally do not make this kind of vow easily, and once they say it, they must do it.

I took a deep breath and swore an oath, if I really met that girl, then I would just take her as an apprentice, although I don't know what kind of calculation this Xiao Tong is playing, but it won't hurt me after all. At that moment, I swore according to Xiao Tong's requirements and made the first vow in my life.

Xiao Tong nodded with satisfaction, and then said to me: "As the so-called unpredictable heaven, although I have a little attainment in divination, I can only calculate many things. Actually, I don't know who you're looking for, but I've calculated that in about three months, someone who is very important to you will appear in Mount Emei. ”

I frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Then you're not sure that person is my grandfather?" ”

Xiao Tong shook his head and said, "I'm not sure." ”

"Is the other party male or female, and how old is he?"

"I don't know."

"About three months later? Can you be more accurate at this time? ”

"Just go early......"

"Mount Emei? The area of Mount Emei is more than 100 square kilometers, where do you let me find it! At least a location! ”

"Well, this hasn't been calculated, you'll always come across it if you wander around a little more."

……

I let out a long breath, looking at Xiao Tong's innocent look in front of me, I wanted to beat him up. The more I watched, the more I felt that Xiao Tong was teasing me, asking me to go to Mount Emei to find someone in three months, but there was no specific time and place, and I didn't even know who the other party was.

"Well, you've said everything you need to tell you, and don't forget the oath you just made. Little one, don't worry, when you see this apprentice I found for you, I'm sure you'll be happy to death. Xiao Tong patted me on the shoulder, left directly, and walked slowly in the direction of the main hall.

I looked at Xiao Tong's back, still thinking about what he had just said. Although I feel that the transaction he made with me is very unreliable, but he previously said that I got Jiaozhu and the Sun God Bird Totem, but it was very accurate, and he also mentioned the fate of my ancestors and me, if these things are not calculated by him, then it must be that he knows something, as for this kind of thing in Emeishan to find someone, I am afraid I really have to go there, after all, as the old saying goes, it is better to believe it than to believe it. If you can find the best things about my grandfather there, if not, then you should go and see the scenery.

Just when I was thinking about things by the pool, suddenly a hand was on my shoulder, which immediately startled me, I only felt creepy all over, and when I turned around, I found that Zhuge Jun was looking at me with a strange smile.

"Brother Zhuge , don't you know that people are scary and scared to death. Please, don't show up so suddenly. I glared at Zhuge Jun and complained.

Zhuge Jun didn't care, he smiled and said, "Your master is looking for you in the main hall, go over quickly." ”

Zhuge Jun put his arm on my shoulder as he spoke, and muttered mysteriously on his face: "Brother Chen, I just saw you and Xiao Daochang talking about things, it seems that you should have a good relationship." Why don't you help me plead with him and let Xiao Daochang accept me as an apprentice, after the matter is completed, I will definitely not forget your great kindness. ”

I rolled my eyes suddenly, Xiao Tong and I were only on the first day of meeting, where can we talk about what relationship is good. And even if I can speak, it is impossible for me to interfere in the affairs of others accepting apprentices, you must know that each sect will have its own set of standards and rules for accepting apprentices, and outsiders cannot interfere. Of course, things like Xiao Tong stuffing me with an apprentice are another matter, after all, this is a transaction, and I voluntarily agreed.

I patted Zhuge Jun on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zhuge , it's not that I won't help you in this matter, but that I can't do anything about it, otherwise you follow Uncle Xiao and show a lot, if he sees that you are diligent, maybe he will directly admit you to the door." ”

Zhuge Jun was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Thank you Brother Chen for your suggestion, haha, then I will behave well, and I must let Xiao Daochang accept me as an apprentice." ”

I watched Zhuge Jun running in the direction of Xiao Tong, as if he was really ready to pay tribute to Xiao Tong, I was a little speechless, I just said it casually, I didn't expect him to really take it seriously.

I shook my head and walked in the direction of the main hall.

Soon, when I walked into the door of the hall, I saw that Master and Qingyun Dao Chang and others were all here, and there was a wooden bed in the middle of the main hall, and on the wooden bed was lying quietly a woman with a gorgeous face, her eyes were closed and her face was peaceful, and there was a silver glittering talisman on her forehead, which was the female zombie who had been subdued by Xiao Tong before.

I walked up to Master and asked, "Master, are you looking for me?" ”

Master nodded, turned his head and said to me with a serious expression: "Xuan Wazi, do you know the exact origin of the two consciousnesses in this female zombie's body?" ”

I saw that the Qingyun Dao Elder and the others next to me were also looking at me with solemn faces, I hesitated for a moment, and told them everything I knew about Xiulian and Ziyu, of course, about Xiulian I just simply said that she was once an ancestor of mine, but I didn't disclose other things about the Chen family.

By the time I finished speaking, the whole hall was silent, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing.

After a long time, the master slowly spoke: "According to what you said, plus the words of the Zhuge family boy, this purple jade should be the daughter of Wu Wangfu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Until the ancestor of the Zhuge family got her out of the ancient tomb. Later, it was kept in the Zhuge family, and then the current head of the Zhuge family fused her and Xiulian's bodies together in a certain way, thus forming the situation of one corpse and two souls in front of him. ”

Master's expression suddenly became much more solemn when he said this, and he said slowly: "However, after a person dies, the soul leaves the body, and the body left behind is just a shell without consciousness, unless it turns into a zombie and generates a new consciousness under certain circumstances, it is impossible for a corpse that is more than 2,000 years old to still retain its own consciousness." ”

"According to our speculation, Ziyu can still have her own consciousness now, and it is very likely that there are two situations. One is that after she died, her soul was forcibly imprisoned in her body before she left her body, and she could not enter the reincarnation of the Yin Division, which has remained to this day. There is also a situation that it is very likely that the purple jade of that year did not die at all, but was suppressed alive in the ancient tomb! ”
