Chapter 2: A Hundred Tricks
Every time it was dark, my mother would hold me, sneak to the barn without my father, take off the thin green silk skirt on her body, and hide it under the barn.
Then, she herself rolled around and turned into a blue-brown fox, and carried me straight to the ancient tombs, mass graves, and even ancient temples in the deep mountains and old forests to find what I needed.
At the beginning, my father was indeed frightened, probably because he loved too deeply, and after a long ideological struggle, he accepted the fact that my mother was a fox.
It's just that in order to prevent my mother from leaving with me again, he hid the fox skin under the barn one day, and when my mother wanted to go out again, he found that he couldn't find the fox skin.
"Where's my skin? Where's my skin? Where did you hide my skin? ”
It was the first time my father had seen my mother question her so madly, but my father took out the fox skin with a proud face and shook it in front of my mother: "You can't hide it from me anymore." ”
After my mother took the fox skin, she sighed and said with tears in her eyes: "From today onwards, I am afraid that the fate of the two of us has ended, you are the fate of my previous life, and the reason why I came to you is to repay the favor." ”
After speaking, she reluctantly handed the young me in her arms to my father, and said solemnly: "Originally, I was only three days away, and after three days, I gave Tianming the corpse king's inner dan, and he will not be robbed in the future, but it's a pity...... Maybe everything was meant to be. ”
"After I leave, all those things will definitely come to the door, and the task of protecting Tianming will be handed over to you."
After saying that, without waiting for my father to reply, my mother put on that layer of skin, rolled into a blue-brown fox, and disappeared into the night with tears in her eyes.
Since then, my dad and I haven't seen my mother again.
And it was the night after my mother left that terrible things followed.
My father also realized what those things my mother was talking about......
That night, my house welcomed an uninvited guest, a half-hundred old man wearing a beige cloth coat and carrying an orange grease-covered satchel around his waist, who called himself Zhao Xiuyuan.
This person turned out to be my grandfather who had been missing for many years and had not been heard from again!
As soon as Grandpa entered the door, he didn't pay attention to my father, but snatched me from his hand, and his kind face showed a softness: "Fortunately, I came back in time." ”
At this time, I was able to babble and speak simply, and my mind gradually changed from chaos to clarity.
In the conversation between my father and him, I learned that my grandfather was actually a master of the three phases, and according to legend, the master of the three phases was proficient in the three phases of heaven, earth and man, with a clear view of the day and a starry view at night, which is the phase of the sky. Unpredictable prophets, predicting good luck and evil, this is a human appearance. Looking for the dragon point point, feng shui tomb measurement, this is the phase of the earth.
The truth about his grandfather's disappearance back then was actually because his master had changed, and he had to go back.
According to my grandfather, he recently calculated a hexagram for my father, saying that it was a murderous star descending from the sky and cutting off children and grandchildren, so he knew that something big must have happened in the family, so he rushed over overnight.
After just one glance at me, my grandfather already knew the cause and effect, and told my father that my mother was actually not a fox demon, but a very rare spirit fox, known as Qingqiu fox.
In various ancient classics such as Liaozhai, every spirit fox from Qingqiu will have a bad relationship with ordinary people, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve positive results, and my mother will definitely return to Qingqiu after giving birth to me.
Children like me who combine spirit foxes with human beings are not tolerated by heaven and earth, and will experience natural disasters and man-made disasters throughout their lives, the so-called natural disasters are naturally triple thunder tribulations, and man-made disasters, in addition to killing relatives, will also be remembered by various demons and monsters, and become a great supplement in their eyes.
And the time for natural disasters has not yet come, and now, man-made disasters are about to come.
But at the same time, my physique is also born with a close path, and it is a rare good seedling of cultivation, and if I can survive this natural and man-made disaster, my future future is limitless.
"Dad, no matter what, Tianming is the only bloodline of our Zhao family, you must find a way to protect him." My dad responded with tears in his voice.
My grandfather hugged me, pinched my little face, and sighed very lovingly: "The things that came tonight must be quite not simple, and I am not very sure, so I can only let it go." ”
"How easy is it?" My dad subconsciously asked more.
"Hundreds of ghosts take away the soul, thousands of demons fight for the soul, the corpse king is addicted to the body, and impermanence asks for his life."
After my grandfather said these few gruesome words, he took out pieces of wooden tokens from the cloth pocket around his waist, and sprinkled glutinous rice around the house, drumming up some mysterious formations.
He asked my father to take me back to my room, close the door, and tell me not to come out of the room, no matter what I heard or saw.
My father obediently put me on the bed, smoking with trembling hands, not knowing what to think.
It wasn't long before we and father and son soon heard the sound of footsteps outside the house, mixed with weird laughter, as if there were many people laughing together.
As the saying goes, it is better to hear the ghost cry than to listen to the ghost laugh, which is a sign of impending disaster, and my father's face obviously became very frightened.
I seemed very relaxed, because in my memory, every time my mother took me out, all the things I encountered were difficult masters, and I saw too many demons and monsters, and I had long been accustomed to this.
"Humph! It was the fox who robbed you of your creation and opportunity, why do you want to trouble my grandson? "Outside the house, I heard my grandfather's hard shouting.
"Old thing, don't think that a little ability can hinder us, we are going to decide this kid today!"
"It's just strange, this kid's life is not good, if you wait three days, the fox gets the corpse king Neidan to eat for him, the kid will become a big weapon, and we won't even dare to touch it."
"Old fellow, you want to find death and we will fulfill you!"
Soon, grandpa's low roar and a lot of sinister laughter came from outside the house, and I thought that grandpa must have fought with those ghosts, and just as I wanted to climb out to see my grandfather's slaughter, my father held me down.
Time passed minute by minute, and the night gradually became deeper.
Like a chubby porcelain doll, I was playing with a rattle in bed when I accidentally felt a yin breeze blowing on my cheeks.
I subconsciously looked up at the window, and a familiar figure pierced the window paper and waved at me in front of the windowsill, smiling very bright and beautiful.
I was suddenly very excited, stretched out my little hand and kept crying: "Mother...... Mother! ”
