Chapter 272: The Lin Family's Roots
"Your grandfather may have some opinions, but when they took me away from the Yunhai Realm, they had another hidden secret, and it was also for my good. ”
Lin Miaohan said softly, telling Jiang Xuan about the bits and pieces of memories she recalled at this time.
"The Taishang Forgetfulness Technique is a powerful ancient secret art. Cultivating this technique can have the great power of communicating with heaven and earth, but again, it also has some drawbacks. ”
"When practicing this technique, people will gradually become numb to their feelings of emotion, first forgetting their feelings, and finally being ruthless. In this process, you may even go crazy, and there are many people in history who have killed their relatives in order to seek the last ruthless avenue. ”
"I accidentally got this technique when I was young, and although I knew its drawbacks, I was still attracted by its power, and I secretly cultivated it without letting anyone know. Later, the drawbacks of Taishang's forgetfulness technique were gradually exposed, and I was numb to the emotions of my family, so I was alert, so I left the Dali Dynasty and went out to travel. ”
"That's when I met your father, I was tortured by magic, I was seriously injured at that time, and I was rescued by him, and slowly developed feelings. ”
"Because of the Taishang Forgetfulness Technique, I forgot my identity for a while, followed your father back to the Yunhai Realm, and decided to stay together for the rest of my life. You were born in that situation. ”
"At first, those days were indeed peaceful and happy, but after a long time, the demon of Taishang's forgetfulness was working in my body again, and one day, I even accidentally injured your father, endangering his life. ”
Lin Miaohan said this, her face was full of guilt.
Jiang Xuan listened carefully, this experience, even his grandfather didn't know, if it wasn't for what his mother said, he couldn't imagine it at all.
"At that time, I was very worried, worried that one day I would follow in the footsteps of those who came before me, and it would be bad for you and your father, and I was struggling very much. ”
"At this time, Lang Xie found me, and when I saw him, I remembered my identity. After discussing with him, I decided to return to the Lin family. I can't let my illness hurt you father and son. ”
Lin Miaohan gritted her teeth, when she returned to the Golden Bamboo Domain at first, she still remembered her husband and son, but she didn't know when it started, and the demon of Taishang's forgetfulness increased, and she really forgot about them.
Over the years, she has often tossed and turned, staying awake all night, feeling sad, but not knowing where to start.
It wasn't until she saw Jiang Xuan that she realized that it was this incident that had bothered her for so many years.
She felt guilty and wanted to make up for Jiang Xuan, but she forgot about her own flesh and blood.
Jiang Xuan quietly listened to what his mother said, and was very surprised.
He didn't expect that his mother would choose to leave their father and son by herself.
Taishang forgetfulness technique, what kind of secret technique is it, is it really that powerful?
Jiang Xuan didn't know, because he had never heard of such a technique, but there were three thousand avenues in the world, and it was not impossible for such a situation to occur.
"But mother, do you know that my father went to look for you after that, and he left Fujing less than a few months after you left. ”
Jiang Xuan said a little unwillingly, although his mother's words were in line with the situation back then in many places, there were still some places that could not be explained.
It was acceptable that she left so as not to implicate them, but why didn't she tell his father the truth?
She knows how many hardships her father has gone through to find her, and his life and death are still uncertain.
"What? Did Brother Li's come to me a long time ago? What about him now?"
When Lin Miaohan heard this, he was like being struck by lightning, and his face was completely pale as paper.
Jiang Xuan's expression was gloomy for a while, and he said in a low voice.
"My father, his life and death are still uncertain, and I don't know where he went, but my grandfather has raised me all these years. ”
Lin Miaohan's hands couldn't help but tremble, and then her face showed a look of pain, and she couldn't help but hug her head again.
"Mother, what's wrong, does your head hurt again?"
Jiang Xuan hurriedly supported her and asked with concern.
"I don't know why, but the thought of your father makes my head hurt so much, and my heart hurts. ”
Lin Miaohan's emotions seemed to be about to collapse, and now she looked like a mother, more like an ordinary desperate weak woman.
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel distressed, how much pain his mother had endured over the years.
She seems to have forgotten, but maybe she hasn't forgotten in her heart, which will be accompanied by so many headaches and suffering.
"What's wrong with him, is he still alive?"
Lin Miaohan muttered to herself, hugging Jiang Xuan, crying silently.
Jiang Xuan just hugged his mother, and his heart was also very heavy.
For more than ten years, his father has not been able to come to the Lin family, and I am afraid that something has happened.
"Mother, isn't there a solution to this, how long have you been under house arrest?"
Jiang Xuan waited for his mother's mood to stabilize a little, and couldn't help but ask.
In this situation, he really didn't dare to ask more about the details of the year, lest his mother be tortured again.
But in fact, thinking of what his grandfather said to the Blood River Boy, he felt that the things back then were not as simple as his mother said.
"The Taishang Forgetfulness Technique is an ancient secret technique, and my problem involves the origin of the soul, even the great Lin family, and there are few people who can help me. Your grandfather and uncle have said that for now, I can only stay in this valley first, hoping that the years can dilute the power of the Taishang demon, and when that time comes, I will ask Xuanzu to help me completely cut off the root of the disease. ”
"Even so, there is no need to put you under house arrest, right? Although this place is secluded, you haven't left for a long time, mother, have you?"
Jiang Xuan frowned, except for attending some important occasions in the family, his mother almost never left this place, and there was no personal freedom at all.
Even not far from her house, there were two masters watching her at all times, and this feeling was not much different from being in prison.
"This is also something that can't be helped, if I have a demon attack in my heart, I will not recognize my relatives, and it may pose a threat to the clansmen. And if you let me go outside, it may bring trouble to my Lin family. ”
Lin Miaohan said with a gloomy face, over the years, she has become accustomed to a lonely life in isolation.
"Mother, has she ever had a demon attack over the years?"
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"This ...... Not really. ”
Lin Miaohan said hesitantly, if it weren't for Jiang Xuan to tell her, she would never have thought about it.
In her heart, for some reason, she had a deep fear of the Taishang Inner Demon, so that she didn't dare to step out of the valley at will.
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Seeing his mother's haggard and lonely appearance, he couldn't let her go on like this anymore.
He had to find a way to help her get out of here, and as for the problem of the Taishang Inner Demon, he had to solve it.
He didn't believe that there was any sequelae of the secret art, and there would really be nothing to be done.
"Xiao Xuan, what are you thinking?"
Seeing that Jiang Xuan was silent and didn't speak, Lin Miaohan couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, I'm just thinking about how to get my mother out of here. ”
Jiang Xuan said truthfully.
"Silly boy, I'll be fine here. You can come and see me once in a while, so you won't be hurt by me. ”
Lin Miaohan smiled bitterly, she had always been worried that she would suddenly have a demonic attack and do something unfavorable to her own flesh and blood.
"That Yichen has been with my mother for a long time, right? Since she is fine, I will naturally be fine. ”
Jiang Xuan said without thinking, he didn't believe much in his heart that his mother would hurt him.
"The closer you are, the stronger the power of forgetfulness. You and your father are the people I love most in my life, and I dare not take any chances. ”
Lin Miaohan shook her head, she couldn't let Jiang Xuan get too close to her.
"There will be a solution, and I will find a solution. ”
Jiang Xuan's eyes flickered.
Lin Miaohan chuckled lightly and didn't take it seriously. Her father didn't have a problem with this matter, what could Jiang Xuan, a seventeen-year-old boy, do?
The mother and son were chatting happily, and Lin Yichen quickly brought a table of exquisite food, and the three of them were quite happy to talk and laugh.
It wasn't until evening that an old man with gray hair walked in outside the attic.
"You have been in the valley for a day, and the master of the house has promised that your wish has been fulfilled and that you should leave. ”
The old man said unkindly, he didn't know what was happening in the attic, let alone the relationship between Jiang Xuan and Lin Miaohan.
He was quite surprised that Lin Miaohan and this son were talking and laughing.
Jiang Xuan recognized this person as one of the people who was secretly spying on his mother, and his brows couldn't help but furrow.
He had just met his mother and didn't want to leave like that.
But right now, he still has some questions about the Lin family, but he doesn't want to easily reveal his true identity.
He had already told his mother and Lin Yichen about this idea, and asked them to keep it a secret.
Although he didn't think he could hide the matter for long, he still hoped that he would make it public after investigating some information.
"Good. ”
Jiang Xuan didn't refute, said goodbye to his mother, and Lin Yichen sent him out of the valley.
Lin Miaohan was sent to the door, looking at Jiang Xuan's distant back, with a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Xuan and Lin Yichen left the valley, the sky was full of stars above, and there were fireflies flashing around in the field, flickering and flickering.
"It's been a long time since I've seen my aunt so happy. Jiang Xuan, it's good that you can show up. ”
Lin Yichen was in a very happy mood and walked up and down.
She has an excellent relationship with her aunt, and Jiang Xuan's appearance dilutes the loneliness on her aunt and makes her feel very happy.
"Yichen, what unusual behavior has my mother had over the years?"
Along the way, Jiang Xuan kept thinking about what his mother had said.
"What anomalous behavior? Like that?"
Lin Yichen was a little surprised, she found that after Jiang Xuan left the valley, he looked preoccupied.
"For example, attacking someone for no reason, or saying something strange?"
Jiang Xuan's eyes flickered.
"My aunt is very gentle, even the rabbit in the valley is injured, she helps to treat it, how can she attack others? As for nonsense, she has said some of it. ”
Lin Yichen said hesitantly, over the years, she had indeed heard some strange words when her aunt was in an unstable state.
"Oh, what did Mother say?"
Jiang Xuan's eyes narrowed suddenly.
"I have forgotten most of the specific words, but when I was a child, I remember that my aunt once said a sentence that has always impressed me. ”
Lin Yichen's eyes showed a look of reminiscence.
"What is it?"
"My aunt once said that the towering tree of the Lin family has begun to rot from its roots a long time ago, and it is full of lies and deceptions. ”
