Chapter 36: Godfather has been dead for eighteen years
What made me wonder was that the lame dog was obviously lame, but it was very fast, and I was able to catch up with it if I was so slow behind that I could catch up with it.
I don't know how long I chased it, until I was a little out of breath, and the lame dog stopped.
But it was clearly not tired, but to its destination.
And in front of it, there seems to be a tomb.
When I walked in, I was stunned.
This is an earthen tomb, it looks like it has been some years, and the grass on the grave is half a person high, but the words on the tablet in front of the tomb are still clearly visible.
What shocked me was the name on the tablet.
Zhang Huaitian!
I looked at the tombstone, then at the lame dog wagging its tail, and after a moment of silence, asked, "This is, my godfather's grave?" ”
I don't know why I asked the dog, but when I did, the lame dog barked twice, then turned around and made a very human gesture.
Like a human, the act of prostrating.
This posture seems to tell me the answer to this question.
For a while, I felt that my brain was a little insufficient, so I stared at the tombstone, full of scenes of me and my godfather in the past eighteen years.
In my memory, my godfather died on that day to see me off from the village.
But if he is also buried here, then who is the godfather who raised me in the past eighteen years?
Can't be, I've always been raised by a dead man, right?
That shouldn't be.
If my godfather died eighteen years ago, I can't see it, forget it, there are so many people in Fujun Village, can't I see every single one? What's more, in my impression, there is nothing wrong with the godfather at all.
Unless......
I don't know why, but at this time, a possibility suddenly popped up in my mind that made me feel a little ridiculous.
That is, what if the people of Fujun Village were actually dead a long time ago?
Including my godfather.
As soon as this thought came to me, my breathing became short, and I hurriedly put this thought behind me, which was really nonsense.
It's just that if the godfather hadn't died, what would have happened to this tomb?
Why did this lame dog influence me when I was preparing for the Earth Immortal Sacrifice and brought me here?
Just when I was thinking about digging this grave to see what was going on, a rush of footsteps came, and I turned around to see that it was Liu Qi catching up.
Seeing me in front of this tomb, Liu Qi's face changed significantly, but he quickly regained his composure, walked up to me and was silent for a while, then patted me on the shoulder and comforted me: "This is the tomb of Zhang Sacrificial Wine." ”
"When was it built?" I asked.
"Eighteen years ago." Liu Qi sighed as he spoke, his face feeling a little guilty, "I didn't want to tell you, but I didn't expect you to be able to find it here." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked around.
Only then did I notice that I seemed to be in an extremely remote place at this time.
There are only a few scattered rooms around.
Seeing that I was puzzled, Liu Qi explained: "Here, it is a place to sacrifice wine!" ”
"The place of sacrificial wine?" I'm a little confused.
"That's where Zhang Xijiu lived back then." Liu Qi's face was full of sighs, "Zhang Xianjiu came to our village eighteen years ago, we didn't care too much about him at first, just regarded him as an outsider, and he didn't provoke him because of his mysterious origin, and he didn't have anything to do with us, but lived here alone." ”
"This place has actually been abandoned for a long time before Zhang Xijiu came."
"We didn't know his identity until the Earth Immortal Sacrifice eighteen years ago, but after that sacrifice, he stayed here forever, and we buried him here."
"This is also known as the place of sacrificial wine."
"It's just that because he said before he died that his tomb doesn't need to be worshipped, and there is no need to take care of it, as long as he doesn't come to disturb it, it is enough, so his tomb has never been taken care of."
"Are you sure he's dead?" Although what Liu Qi said didn't sound like a problem, I still don't believe that my godfather died eighteen years ago, because it's too outrageous.
However, Liu Qi said with an affirmative face: "It's true! ”
"Impossible!" I shook my head and said, "I've lived with my godfather for eighteen years, how could he have died eighteen years ago." ”
Hearing my words, Liu Qi was also stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "How is it possible!" ”
"Zhang Xijiu's breath is broken under the noses of so many of us, how can it be fake."
"If he hadn't died, even if we hadn't found out, it would be impossible for the immortal family behind us not to find out."
I fell silent.
Oh, yes.
Unless what Liu Qi said is all false.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have found out.
It's just that how could the godfather have died eighteen years ago?
After a moment, I looked at Liu Qi.
"I want to dig a grave and open a coffin!"
Liu Qi's face changed, thinking I was joking, and said with a smile: "Although Zhang Xianjiu has a lot to do with you, this is not good. ”
I said seriously, "I'm not kidding!" ”
"I have to be sure about it."
"Otherwise, don't count on me at the Earth Immortal Festival!"
Seeing that I was using the Earth Immortal Sacrifice as a threat, Liu Qi frowned, obviously realizing that what I said was indeed serious, not a joke.
But instead of agreeing directly, he looked at me and said, "Digging a grave is a big deal." ”
"Zhang sacrificial wine is a great favor to our entire village."
"I can't be the master alone, I must agree with the big guys, otherwise even if your identity is here, it will inevitably make the rest of the village dissatisfied."
"So I'll have to talk to the big guys."
"Yes!" I nodded.
I can understand that.
The more capable people are, the more they care about kindness, and the reason for this is also related to cause and effect in the final analysis, if I rashly dig graves without their consent, it is indeed equivalent to a provocation to them, and it is also trampling on the kindness of my godfather in their hearts.
So even though I was tempted to figure out the situation right now, I put up with it.
After returning to the village with Liu Qi, I didn't go to the ancestral hall again but asked Liu Qi to arrange a place for me to live, although the earth immortal festival has been carried out halfway, but I want to stop, Liu Qi can't say anything.
Of course, the main thing is that the effect of the Heart Blood Sacrifice Sword will not be invalid all at once, but will be integrated with the Earth Immortal Sword after the end of the Earth Immortal Sacrifice, and the impact is not big before that.
Otherwise, Liu Qi wouldn't let me do this.
And I did this, in addition to the fact that Liu Qi said that his godfather died eighteen years ago, but also because of a lame dog.
If it weren't for the lame dog, the Earth Immortal Sacrifice would have been completed.
I won't see the tomb, I won't know about it.
That's what I said before, this lame dog has a big problem.
It seems to know something.
Or maybe it has something to do with my cheap wife.
After all, I also saw her during the Earth Immortal Festival......
