Chapter 222: The Old Blind Man's Thoughts
In addition, Yao Guangxiao also asked him to promise that from now on, he must secretly guard the three human skin specimens in the underground palace of Sanguanlou to ensure that they are not harmed by any external influence. At the same time, Yao Guangxiao also handed him the small stone letter that was used as the key, and told him the correct way to use the key.
When he knew all this, he immediately made a solemn oath in front of his master: he would voluntarily beg for generations to come, hide his deeds, and protect the three human skin specimens in this underground palace for generations, and he would never be allowed to read and write, nor could he engage in agriculture and business, let alone enter the court as an official. One is to redeem the ancestors, and the other is to repay the teacher Yao Guangxiao.
After Yao Guangxiao died, he really ran to the vicinity of Sanguanlou, turned into a sloppy old beggar, and seriously fulfilled the heavy oath he made. Not only that, but since him, his descendants have also adhered to this ancestral precept for the past 600 years, and it has been passed down to today's generation of old blind people.
All along, they have either hid in the underground palace below, or hidden in the hidden caves in the nearby mountains, or hid in the distant countryside, but on weekdays, they have always turned into beggars in this area, secretly protecting the secrets in the underground palace.
Not only in peacetime, but even in the rebuilding of the Chongzhen period at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the subsequent battles, his people have been silently hiding in a corner, secretly watching every move in this underground palace.
Because their family has passed down Yao Guangxiao's unique knowledge from generation to generation, they have always been able to turn danger into disaster at a critical time, and they will not leave any clues.
Not only do they have to wait diligently and secretly, but they also keep a faithful record of what happens here at certain important times. Because their ancestors had made a heavy oath that future generations would never be allowed to read and write, the last two of the three stone tablets were engraved by them orally.
Although they have been begging for generations in obscurity, they have been passed down from generation to generation in a bizarre way by virtue of their unfathomable miraculous skills. It wasn't until today's generation of the old blind man that things went unexpected. When he was young, his grandfather inadvertently provoked a big devil and became involved in a tragic vendetta.
After several desperate battles, although their clan killed all their enemies and won the final victory, they also paid a heavy price, and all the clansmen except his father and son were killed one after another. Not only that, but his father was also seriously injured at that time, and finally had to take him to hide in this hidden underground palace.
In this underground palace, relying on the large amount of food stored earlier, the father and son survived tenaciously. When he was just eight years old, his father finally ran out of oil and died. Since then, he has been alone, continuing to live in this underground palace like the tomb of the living dead, practicing the magic skills passed down by his father day and night.
By the time he was fourteen or fifteen years old, his internal kung fu had already begun to take shape and was slightly successful, and there was not much food left in the dungeon, so he tried to leave this dungeon and return to the real society. However, because he was only an ignorant boy when his father died, he was completely blank about his life experience.
As for when my father was dying
Those confessions are also completely vague, not to mention the heavy oaths and missions of those families. Of course, the things in the big stone letter left by his ancestors were even more incomprehensible because he couldn't read a single big character.
When he first entered the society, he directly became an ignorant little beggar at the beginning, which invisibly inherited the "ancestral industry". However, a few years later, he slowly made a name for himself with his own kung fu and became a well-known local figure. Gradually, he changed from an unknown little beggar to a chivalrous young knight.
And he also learned to read and hyphenate words unintentionally, and became a young talent with both civil and military skills. It's just that at this time, he didn't know that he had inadvertently violated the heavy oath made by his ancestors. It may also be because of this that although he married a woman three times in his life, he did not give birth to a boy and a girl.
It wasn't until more than ten years later, when he returned to this underground palace and saw the things in the big stone letter, that he suddenly realized that he really figured out his life experience.
It turned out that in that big stone letter at that time, there were not only the iron plaque and the three stone plaques that everyone sees today, but also a suicide note left by his father. This suicide note was specially written by his father before his death, because he was very aware of his injuries at that time, and he couldn't last until his son really grew up, so he had to do it.
When he watched all this, he still silently chose to accept it. Since then, he has really become a "beggar" again, and he has been wandering around this area, conscientiously fulfilling his ancestral oath.
Not only that, but he also deliberately disguised himself as a blind old beggar and began his life in seclusion. Decades have passed like this, and he has always been like this, sticking to his mission while playing Hongchen.
Later, he coincidentally joined the peripheral special intelligence organization of the early national security organization, and used his special means to silently contribute on the hidden front.
Of course, he has never revealed the true identity of their clan to outsiders, and even the relevant superiors only know that he is a strange person with unique skills.
Fortunately, with his peerless skills, every time he accepts a major secret mission, no matter how difficult it is, he can complete it beautifully without a trace, and slowly he becomes a mysterious master that the organization relies on.
Today, he is a centenarian. He knew that his life was running out, and he was worried that once he really died, this secret that had been painstakingly guarded by their clan for more than six hundred years would be buried in the depths of this underground palace forever.
However, he was extremely reluctant to make this secret known to the world, or to hand it over to the relevant departments, because after all, there was a shameful past of their ancestors. So in the end, he secretly selected Xiao Qingfeng and their group of young people, and decided to hand over the secret by their hands.
It turned out that he had been secretly watching this sudden team for a long time, and even if there was no matter of Cousin Doll, he would find another way to lure everyone here and let everyone complete this final task for him.
When Xiao Qingfeng said this, everyone realized that everything was under the control of this senior stranger, and everyone was just someone else's hand
The wishful chess pieces in the are only.
In this way, this is really the ancients who did not deceive me, there are people outside the sky.
I have a cold eye on the world, in fact, I am just a drop in the ocean, not worth a glimpse of the world at all.
Everyone has always felt that their gang can be regarded as a bit of Taoism, but they don't know that in front of the real masters, it seems a little insignificant.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little lost, and even drinking was not very energetic. It's not too early to see the time, everyone has eaten and drunk almost enough, so they hastily collected their troops and went home.
Everyone went home and didn't say anything, but today Xiao Qingfeng deliberately concealed some things from everyone, and even his clan brother Lone Wolf didn't reveal a word.
It turned out that at the end of the old blind man's diary, he solemnly mentioned: "You must always pay close attention to everyone around you!" and his warning was almost exactly the same as the reminder that Mengshan Turtle's mother had reminded Xiao Qingfeng alone earlier.
In this way, Xiao Qingfeng had to calm down and think about it seriously, after all, these two seniors actually said the same warning words one after another. But after much thought, he still couldn't really understand what they were implying to him.
Because for these people around him, he can't think of anything wrong with him anyway, and everyone can be said to be true brothers in life and death. But these two seniors will definitely not make something out of nothing, since they say so, then there must be another deep meaning.
Later, Xiao Qingfeng even expanded the scope to other people around him, such as those relatives and friends who had a better relationship. However, after a period of careful self-observation and investigation, there was still no valuable gain, and in the end, it had to be stopped.
It's just that during this period of time, he has been relatively low-key, and in addition to his normal daily life, almost all the rest of the time is spent on intensive study of Xuangong.
He believes that instead of continuing to search aimlessly and those unknown potential dangers, it is better to devote oneself to penance, enrich oneself as much as possible, and truly respond to all changes with the same. As a result, he hardly participates in ordinary and normal outdoor activities, and basically enters a dormant state.
Recently, the lone wolf and the prodigal son have not had any news, and they should continue to be busy with the post-processing of the three human skin specimens in the underground palace of Sanguanlou.
And Mengshan Turtle and Dumb have been busy recently, and the business of the outdoor training camp has been very prosperous during this time, and even Jingxin and Xiao Maitreya, Doll, and Little Taoist have come to help from time to time.
It seems that since the Mengshan Turtle sat in the position of the head of the door, a lot has indeed changed, not only has the life become a lot more stable, but even the motivation for work has also come up, like the bloody and energetic Mengshan Turtle when he graduated from college has returned.
On the one hand, he conscientiously consolidated the situation created by Lone Wolf earlier, and on the other hand, he also increased investment to expand the scope of business. He not only further expanded the scale of the outdoor training camp, but also further expanded the brand agency of outdoor products, as well as actively organized and participated in some professional outdoor competitions.
