Chapter 82: The Family Burden
Xuan Zhenzi blurted out his words, and Master Mingtong couldn't help but be moved, and exclaimed,
"So you also have a piece of Yin Jade in your hand, and it's the most core of the eight?"
"It's not on me, it's in the kid's hands."
Xuan Zhenzi continued to pat my head with a smile on his face, and Master Mingtong looked surprised and looked at me again.
I was also very confused, and looked up at Xuan Zhenzi blankly, and said Master, you are old and confused, how can I have any yin jade on me?
Xuan Zhenzi squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Five years ago, I passed by Zhoujiagou and rescued you, what did your mother leave you at that time, do you remember?" ”
I shuddered, and subconsciously touched my lower abdomen, but my brain fell into a memory.
Before my mother disappeared, she left me a total of two things.
One is her corpse pill, and as the corpse pill was transferred to me, my miserable old lady also paid the price of her soul being scattered.
As for the other thing, it should be the jade pendant that was taken out of my father's corpse's mouth.
This thing is my mother's relic, she attached great importance to it during her lifetime, and it was not until after her death that she borrowed my father's corpse to leave the jade pendant to me, and I have been collecting it on my body all these years, and occasionally I will take it out to see, see things and think about people, is it possible......
Xuan Zhenzi smiled and said, "As a mother, the things left to my son are naturally the best, do you think that jade pendant is really just an ordinary ornament?" ”
Then he explained that the reason why the "Eight Veins" are mysterious is because these eight big families have been guarding a big secret for generations.
And the key to open this secret is divided into eight parts, that is, the eight yin jades, and the descendants of each of the eight veins are responsible for keeping them.
"Although with the collapse of the eight major families, those yin jade have been scattered to various places, but the most important yin jade has always been in your mother's hands, before her soul is scattered, she handed over this yin jade to you to guard, boy, you must remember that no matter what happens in the future, you must not let the last yin jade fall into the hands of others."
Xuan Zhenzi said as she patted my head gently,
"You are the one who is most likely to reveal the secrets of the eight veins, and if possible, you should also collect as many remnants of the Yin Jade as possible."
I nodded sluggishly to indicate that I understood, and then asked,
"Since the jade pendant left by my mother is so important, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Xuan Zhenzi smiled and said What can I do even if I tell you? This thing is a curse, and whoever it falls into will be in great trouble.
"Today I will tell you this secret, because you are an adult, and you have personally experienced the Shura tomb, you kid is a Taoist child's life, destined to embark on an extraordinary path, let you understand the family burden you are carrying earlier, so as not to be confused for the rest of your life."
I nodded blankly.
The evil Shura has been dealt with, and there is no need for everyone to continue to stay in the tomb, and then Xuan Zhenzi led us out of the tomb along the road.
It took nearly two hours for us to get back to the surface, when the sky outside had already brightened, and the tomb that had shrouded Hades was gradually dissipating.
Facing the warm sun falling from the sky, I raised my head, felt the warmth I had not felt for a long time, and was so excited that I burst into tears, sighing that it was finally over.
"It's over? It's still early! ”
Xuan Zhenzi sneered twice, looked at the dead and silent village and said, "Just an ordinary yin jade is enough to bring a catastrophe to Hadesgou, there are six pieces of the same yin jade, each piece of yin jade in the world, it represents a catastrophe, and you will have to be busy in the future." ”
I felt that Xuan Zhenzi had something to say, so I touched the back of my head and asked, "Master, do you know where the other Yin Jade are?" ”
"Some, but not all."
Xuan Zhenzi rarely showed a very serious expression, and sighed slightly, "The matter of Hades Gully is over, I should also leave, boy, I will give you another task, wait until the fog is completely gone, find those scattered villagers, and see how many survivors there are." ”
I nodded at first, but soon realized that something was wrong.
"Master, where are you leaving, how can you leave me alone, and where should I go to join you after I find the scattered villagers?"
This time Xuan Zhenzi didn't give an answer, but looked at me with a serious face,
"There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, when your grandfather was dying, let me take care of you until I was 18 years old, I have fulfilled this promise, and it is time for our two to part ways."
"What did you say?"
Thunderbolt on a sunny day, I never thought that Xuan Zhenzi would drive himself away at such a time, and I was so panicked that I couldn't wait to kneel down for him,
"Master, what did I do badly, you want to drive me away?"
"Old man, what are you crying for!"
Xuan Zhenzi interrupted my words sharply, and put his hand on my head again, "Master led me into the door, cultivation depends on the individual, I have taught you a lot of things, what you really lack is the experience of the rivers and lakes, as long as you can keep your nature and practice for a few more years, your future achievements will definitely not be bad." ”
I burst into tears, thinking that I had lost my mother before I was ten years old, that I had lost my whole family at the age of thirteen, and that I had to lose my master again at the age of eighteen, and that I was suddenly extremely depressed, as if the whole sky was gray.
Xuan Zhenzi sighed, "It's not that I'm ruthless, it's really the place where I and the old monk are going to go next, it's not something you can set foot in at all, you are too young, your foundation is shallow, you haven't been trained in the rivers and lakes, and you can't meet the qualifications to contact these secrets." ”
Master Mingtong also came over and said, "Zhou Xuan, Brother Dao is doing this for your good, one day you will understand his hard work." ”
I lost my soul and hung my head in a daze.
Hui Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurriedly walked up to me and said, "Master, where are we going next, why can't we take Zhou Xuan with you?" ”
Master Mingtong sighed, "It's not us, it's me and Brother Dao who are on the road together, and you also have to return to the Hanging Temple and continue the cultivation that you have not completed." ”
"What, Master, you don't want me anymore?"
Hui Zhen's face shook, and she instantly became even more panicked than me.
Master Mingtong didn't speak, turned his face, exchanged glances with Xuan Zhenzi, seemed to have discussed something a long time ago, took out a letter directly from his arms, handed it to Hui Zhen and said,
"Silly apprentice, put away this letter, and when you return to the Hanging Temple, hand him over to the presiding senior brother as soon as possible, and say that I will leave the temple for a few years to do a major event that has plagued me all my life, and you don't need to look for me again in the future."
"Master......"
Hui Zhen took the envelope with tears in her eyes, shook her lips a few times, and looked dazed.
Xuan Zhenzi pulled me aside alone and handed me a talisman bag containing a few pieces of talisman paper that he had treasured for many years.
After handing over the talisman bag, his face showed an unprecedented stern look, and he said in a commanding tone,
"Kneel, before I leave, I have a few words to say to you!"
