"Actually, I can also understand my father's thoughts, he is really a dead horse as a live horse doctor, he has invited a lot of real masters in the nearby Taoist temples and temples, not to mention the empty money, and I haven't seen Wolong get any better. Although Chongxi is a good policy, it is better than doing nothing. ”

"At this time, there was a daughter from a Liuyuan family in Longzhong, and on the day of the wedding, her husband was drunk and buried in the mountain and kissed the wolf, which was considered a newlywed widow...... Although everyone else advised him that this woman was hard-hitting, Kefu. My father looked at them one by one with cold eyes, and said that Wolong was already like this, Kefu? He just begged that the woman would not be scared to death by the evil ghosts in Wolong's body. ”

For this marriage, Wolong did not approve or object, but said that everything was arranged by his father, and obediently went to visit Liu Yuanwai's house once. On weekdays, Wolong is no different from ordinary people except for saying something in his mouth from time to time that others can't understand, and some people even comment that he is tall, heroic, and heroic. ”

Liu Yuanwai had a very happy conversation with him, especially admiring his all-encompassing knowledge, and even said that he had Wang Zuozhi's talent, so he naturally had no objection to this marriage. ”

The wedding was scheduled on an auspicious day after March, and the two families came and went frequently, showing their closeness. It's just that Wolong usually reads through the classics in the study, and no one knows what he wants to check. Later, when there were not enough books at home, he went to the bookstore every day, slept only two hours at night, and woke up to eat some porridge and cakes. ”

Liu Yuan saw that his son-in-law was so studious, so he simply broke the rules and opened his library to Wolong, so that he could concentrate on studying inside. It's weird or weird, I don't know when it started, the number of times Wolong went crazy became less and less, and after two months, it was almost no different from a normal person. Only then did his father put his mind at ease, and he was happy to stay in Wolong's house. ”

"Everything seemed to be getting better, and my father was even drunk again, only this time, not resentment, but rejoicing. But just when everyone thought things were going to go better and better......"

Zhuge Wanling's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, as if talking about this, making him feel a little bad, "Wolong is missing again." ”

"Missing again?" Qin Ke looked at Zhuge Wanling and said strangely: "I didn't know where I went last time, why is it missing now?"

Zhuge Wanling looked at the gradually drying ink, and his somewhat pale face was reflected on it, and he replied softly: "Perhaps, only he himself knows. ”

Of course, there are some people who also know, such as Liu De...... Although he only knows a small part.

"Everyone didn't expect it, even my father thought that Wolong had suffered outside for many years, and it was impossible for him to run out inexplicably, and of course he wouldn't think of arranging someone to guard him. Obviously, there was only half a month left to get married, but he disappeared so suddenly, and the moment his father heard the news, the whole person fainted. ”

"Wait until he wakes up. I opened Wolong's letter to him, and he said in the letter that thanks to the collection of books in Liu Yuanwai's house, he now had an idea in his heart, but he just needed to confirm it once. He couldn't wait another half a month to get married, so he could only apologize to his father and brother, and when he found what he was looking for, he would come back. ”

"My father was so angry that he couldn't speak, and as soon as Wolong ran away, the marriage with Liu Yuanwai's family also collapsed, but Liu Yuanwai didn't complain about our family, the old man said...... I vaguely feel that Wolong has a big thing in his heart, such a person, even if he becomes a parent, it is impossible to be firmly tied to the family, in this case, it is better to run by this wild horse, maybe he can really make an earth-shattering career in the future?"

Zhuge Wanling said with a wry smile: "Maybe at that time, Liu Yuanwai was the only one who could understand Wolong, although the two did not really become a son-in-law, and the age difference was dozens of years, but they talked very happily every time, which can be regarded as a rare year-end friendship." ”

"But this time he disappeared, and I never saw him again. Zhuge Wanling sighed long and said, "Calculate the time, it's been sixteen years." In the past sixteen years, I got tired of the chaotic officialdom, retired to the rivers and lakes, and established a gang by chance, which soon developed and became a hot faction in Wu at that time, and then ...... Jing Wu Jian, father ...... died of a serious illness and failed to see Jing Wu today. ”

"So...... Didn't Master rush back to take a look until his father died?" Qin Ke's eyes were a little gloomy, this was really not a good ending.

At the end of the story, the old man looked at the empty bedtop, maybe his eyes were dizzy, maybe his thoughts were confused, but he still hoped to see his beloved child again before he died, but until his eyes focused on the endless darkness, until the breath of death permeated the entire thin and rickety body, he still did not wait.

Such a heartless person...... Is it really your own master?

"Maybe he also regretted it......" Zhuge Wanling looked at the candle flame, and seemed to have a little bit of water that blinded his cold eyes, "It's just that he was ...... at that time Something is a little magical. Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses...... Even if it is chic, it is also a painful thing to miss those moments, and my father and brother will never see each other again. ”

Speaking of this, he subconsciously grasped the armrest of the chair, because he was too hard, and his knuckles were slightly white.

After a long time, he let go of the armrest, his expression had returned to normal, he coughed calmly, raised his hand to drink the remaining medicinal tea in the cup, and at that moment it seemed to have a heroic spirit like drinking strong wine, he continued: "I also learned after receiving the letter from the shopkeeper of Jiayuju, he has been struggling to find the whereabouts of the artifact for the past sixteen years. ”

"Artifact? Qin Ke felt that he had never been so confused since he was born, first the mysterious and mysterious "divine revelation", and now there is an artifact, what will be the next one?

Zhuge Wanling didn't speak, but got up from the chair and slowly paced to the cabinet that was also lined with various books.

As his plain hand stretched out under his wide sleeves, he gently pressed against an inconspicuous decoration on the cabinet.

There was a soft "snort", and a hole in the corner of the cabinet suddenly opened, revealing a box carved from jade and jade.

The box is not a patchwork, but is made entirely of a single piece of jade, which looks like a single piece, glowing faintly in the night.

Zhuge Wanling carefully took out the box and walked in front of Qin Ke with him.

I don't know what is in it, but it must be very precious, otherwise such an expensive and rare jadeite, who would use it to make a simple box? Such a large piece of jade is not a rotten stone in a pickle jar.

Qin Ke felt a familiar aura inside, as if he had seen it for the first time yesterday.

Between breaths, Qin Ke felt that it was gradually waking up, like a real living thing......

There was also a heart beating, following the rhythm of his breathing, so powerful, so strong, and ...... So greedy.

Qin Ke guessed what was inside, but he still forced himself to press his mind and asked, "What is it?"

Zhuge Wanling slowly opened the jade box, and under the firelight, the dark red on the two scales inside churned like blood.

It came to life like this, as if a terrible ghost had returned to the yang world from the underworld, and the long-term hunger had already made it on the verge of madness, and countless black mist surged from it, and a strong smell of blood almost filled the entire hall.

Zhu Ran stood in front of the door with the hilt of the knife, although he had expected this situation in advance, but sensing the crazy killing intent, he couldn't help but take the long knife out of the sheath halfway, and between his eyebrows, he looked at the door that cut off his vision, as if he was about to rush in the next moment.

Qin Ke was closest to the scales, and the monstrous resentment and killing intent seemed to blow on his face like a violent wind, and he didn't know how many goosebumps were on his body, and his entire spine was tense and unable to move under such pressure.

But in the darkness, there is always light.

And in the jade box, just when the mist on the scales had condensed like substance, a ray of light bloomed from it, and almost instantly, the black mist was blown to pieces.

The mist that was about to touch Qin Ke's body lost its support and scattered in all directions, merging into the shadows without a trace.

It was a light with sacredness and solemnity, and pride was like a king, with high majesty, but also with warm love.

Qin Ke breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the disgusting smell of blood had been swept away by this light, and the cold sweat behind his back kept coming out, wetting his heart.
