Chapter 426: The Truth About Childhood
He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "It's a long story, let's sit down and talk." ”
I sat down.
Master Jiang fell silent, and he seemed to be straightening out his thoughts.
After a while, he said to me, "I'm a friend of your parents. ”
"Entrusted by your parents, I will hand you over to the old man."
"At that time, the old man promised to take good care of you."
"But I only recently heard about the events of that year, and I can see that this guy with his head is talking like a fart."
"He's a mess of your care."
When I heard this, I felt a little upset.
What does this guy mean?
This is scolding my grandfather and scolding me.
How did I get a mess?
I suppressed the anger in my heart and calmed myself down.
I said to Master Jiang, "You just said that I was handed over to my grandfather by you?" ”
Master Jiang nodded.
"But my grandfather told me that I was abandoned in a mass grave," I said. ”
"He picked me up."
"There is a discrepancy between what you said and my grandfather, it seems that you are suspected of lying."
Master Jiang laughed and said, "It's understandable for the old man to say this. ”
"If he tells you that I handed you over to him, you will surely ask again and again, who am I and who are your parents."
"And these secrets, the old man can't tell you."
"So, to avoid trouble, just make up a reason to pick you up. It's a hassle-free. ”
I frowned.
I think there is some truth to this.
I thought about it for a moment and asked, "If my grandfather was going to make up a reason." ”
"Then he directly said that I picked it up from the side of the road or from the river."
"Why do you say I picked it up from a mass grave?"
"I always feel like there's something going on here."
When Master Jiang heard this, an angry look appeared on his face: "That's why I said, the old man is really confused." ”
"Mess up your care."
He stood up and said with a dancing hand, "When I handed you over to the old man, you were neat and healthy. ”
"But look at you now, your soul is not complete, right?"
"Being able to survive the eighteen-year-old safely also depends on absorbing the cultivation of others, which is pure luck."
"Do you know what's going on with you?"
I shook my head blankly.
Master Jiang said: "This matter has to start from many years ago. ”
"This mountain village used to be the residence of Changshengmen."
I blurted out: "That sect that raises Yin Dragons? ”
Master Jiang nodded: "Later, the Immortal Gate was destroyed, and the remnants retreated to the mountain. ”
"They are entrenched in this village, and they are the one to blame."
"In this, there are the living people of the Immortal Gate, and there are also the dead people of the Immortal Gate."
"In short, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there is no distinction between people and ghosts."
"A lot of people who accidentally broke in died unexpectedly."
"Later, your parents brought a group of people to exterminate all the people here."
"Both humans and ghosts have been suppressed in this mass grave."
"This mass grave has been heavily sealed. It looks harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, there is a great danger hidden inside. ”
"We thought that after suppressing the people of the Immortal Sect, it would be done."
"Who knows that when we come back here a few years later, we will find that there are a lot of villagers in this place."
"These villagers are poor people who have fled the famine."
"They found an abandoned village and cultivated land."
"So, they settled here."
"We know that in the beginning, these villagers were afraid of death, and they did not dare to approach the mass graves."
"But over time, they will definitely want to reclaim the mass graves into farmland."
"They don't know the people buried in it anyway."
"In the face of hunger, one or two dead people are nothing."
"To prevent this from happening. Your grandfather volunteered to stay here. ”
"He pretended to be an outsider who had provoked the enemy and joined the village."
"Actually, he is secretly guarding the mass grave so that no one can break the seal inside."
I frowned and said, "So, my grandfather is here because of the guardian seal?" ”
"Why did he never tell me?"
Master Jiang said, "It's a secret. He doesn't want you to know too soon. ”
"We want you to live your life carefree like a normal person."
"At least, spend your childhood carefree."
"Old man Fu staying here to guard the seal is a boring errand, but it is also a safe errand."
】
"Me and your parents, we're in trouble outside. In order to prevent you from being in danger as well, I was entrusted by them to send you to Old Man Fu. ”
"We thought you would be safe all the time, until not long ago, we didn't know you had an accident."
I didn't speak.
Master Jiang said, "Have you noticed that you are different from ordinary children? ”
I looked at Master Jiang suspiciously: "Why is it different?" ”
Master Jiang said: "Ordinary children can remember the memories after the age of three or four. But you don't have any memories of what you had before you were eight years old. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and realized that it seemed to be the case.
What happened before the age of eight, I really don't know.
My earliest memory comes from the second grade.
I remember that I was struggling to go to school and couldn't do a lot of my homework.
My grandfather tutored me every night, and it was easy for me to catch up with my grades.
Could it be ...... Did I have amnesia when I was eight years old?
Master Jiang said: "When you were eight years old, you strayed into a mass grave and lost your soul. This matter has hurt you too much. ”
