Chapter 40: The Secret History of the Ji Family
Zheng Hao looked at the bunch of black-clothed people who came out of nowhere in surprise. Everyone was in full swing to carry the rhinoceros, which weighed more than a ton, onto a special carriage.
Watching the carriage drift away, Ji Shuangshuang waved his little hand and said goodbye to Zhuangzhuang.
"Uncle Fa, is there any news from Tianma?" suddenly Ji Shuangshuang asked.
"Not yet, my subordinates are still looking around. Fa Rong replied respectfully.
At this time, Zheng Hao on the side suddenly interjected: "Tianma? You mean the kind that can fly? That's a lie, how can there be such a thing in the world." ”
"You're talking nonsense, I've seen it in books, and it's clearly there. Ji Shuangshuang's eyes widened and shouted at Zheng Hao.
"What book did you read it in?" Zheng Hao looked at Ji Shuangshuang, who was scorching in his words, and wondered in his heart.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, I have seen it in books. I remember that it was clearly written in the "Beishan Sutra": 200 miles to the northeast, there is Ma Cheng Mountain, and the mountain is full of gold and jade, and there are many crystal stones. There was a beast that looked like a dog with a black head, and when it saw a man, it flew away, and its name was Pegasus. Ji Shuangshuang recited angrily.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas? hahaha, little sister, it's a myth and legend. You can't take it seriously. Zheng Hao looked at Ji Shuangshuang's angry appearance, and the more he talked, the happier he became.
"Uncle Fa, tell him quickly. It's true, what the book says can't be false. Ji Shuangshuang pouted aggrievedly, looking at Fa Rong on the side, as if this was the last straw to desperately ask for help.
"Yes, what is written in the book is true. He's just a little bit of a learner, so don't worry about him. Fa Rong said without changing his face.
"Let's just say, Zheng Hao, you are a demon! The worst, you still want to deceive Shuangshuang. Ji Shuangshuang grimaced at Zheng Hao, and that little bit of goodwill just now disappeared without a trace......
Watching Ji Shuangshuang bounce away, Zheng Hao, who had been silent for a long time, asked Fa Rong beside him: "You can't be, I don't know what kind of book it is, why did you lie to her?"
Fa Rong sighed, and said with a complicated face: "This is her last hope, you won't understand." ”
"I don't understand? Hey, don't go......"
............
In the middle of the night, Yu Wenxian woke up. Seeing Zheng Hao sitting cross-legged on the bed, with his head down, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he couldn't help but joke: "Yo, there is something that can stump our Master Zheng? ”
Zheng Hao ignored him, but said to himself: "These days, don't you think it's strange." Every day, there are almost no people, active in the valley. But this morning, as soon as something needed manpower, a bunch of people immediately appeared out of thin air. Where do they usually live? ”
"Surely we live in a place we can't see. After making sure that Lilushuang and them left safely, Yuwen Yan was in a good mood for a while, and couldn't help but make a joke about Zheng Hao.
"Out of sight...... emm, you're right. Let's go!" Zheng Hao pondered, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Where are you going?" Yu Wenxian was pulled up by Zheng Hao, and the two ran out quickly.
After trotting all the way, the two came to the main hall. looked at Zheng Hao who was looking in the east and rummaging in the west. Yuwen was puzzled for a while, and asked strangely, "What are you doing here?" ”
Zheng Hao tapped the Buddha statue and explained: "Do you remember the time when Ji Shuangshuang was scared away by us? When people are afraid, they must run to the place where they feel safest. Children usually hide in the places they are most familiar with, such as their bedrooms. ”
"So, she ran to the main hall that day, indicating that there may be a passage to her residence here?" Yu Wenxian said with a sudden realization.
At that moment, a whole noisy footstep sounded. Zheng Hao and Yu Wenyan's faces changed, and they hurriedly hid behind the Buddha statue.
I saw two men in black, pulling a middle-aged man who had been giggling, into the main hall. They first knelt down three times and bowed nine times by themselves, and then "helped" the middle-aged man to salute. But in the process of saluting, the middle-aged man kept a smile like a dementia.
After the salute, one of the men in black walked up to the offering table and gently turned the incense burner on the table. After a slight sound of a mechanism, a tunnel suddenly opened in front of the statue, and the door slowly closed after the three of them entered.
Zheng Hao and Yu Wenyan, who saw everything in their eyes, looked at each other and smiled. He turned the incense burner and entered the dark tunnel without hesitation......
The tunnel was much longer than the two had imagined. All the way down, I don't know how many steps I walked. Finally saw a glimmer of light.
A huge underground cavern appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them. Although it is underground, because of the top of the cave, a huge night pearl provides a light source for the entire cave. There are countless houses lined up on the ground.
Just as Zheng Hao was calculating the value of the bead on his head. Yu Wenxian found the three people who had not gone far. Pulling Zheng Hao, he followed lightly.
The two men in black were not very alert, and they did not notice Zheng Hao's tracking. After three steps and two steps, the "fool" was sent into a courtyard, and then left.
There were no guards in the courtyard, and Zheng Hao and Yuwen Yan easily sneaked in. I just wanted to go into the house to check, but I found Ji Shuangshuang in the corner, with dull eyes.
I saw her holding the dagger that had saved Zheng Hao's life tightly with one hand, and standing in front of the door of the room tremblingly. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't seem to have the courage to push open the thin door, and turned away decadently.
Looking at Ji Shuangshuang's sad back, Zheng Hao and Yu Wenxian couldn't help but become curious about the situation in the room.
The two of them lightly dipped their fingers in a little saliva and poked lightly at the window paper. I looked through the small hole.
Looking at the scene in front of them, the two were stunned. I saw that the "fool" who was escorted was stripped naked, smirking and lying on a woman like a dead corpse doing a trivial thing. And beside him, there are also two old women, whenever the "weapon" of the "fool" fails. The old woman would go up and help "reload".
Just when the two were still surprised by what was happening in front of them, Zheng Hao suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck and fainted.
But Yu Wenxian was fine, he just wanted to fight back. only to find out that the other party turned out to be Fa Rong. He gave up the idea of fighting back, let Fa Rong put himself under his armpit, and quickly left the crypt.
............
In Yuwen Yan's room, Fa Rong unexpectedly looked at the child in front of him and did not faint. Instead, he looked at himself with a questioning face.
Fa Rong sighed and said, "You forget what you saw today, and I won't tell others about your unauthorized entry into the 'Holy Cave'." ”
"Yes, unless you tell me, what is going on with what I saw?" Yu Wenyan returned not to be outdone.
Fa Rong's eyes froze, and his body was full of murderous aura. At this time, Yuwen Xian, like a leaf in the wind, couldn't control his body at all, and trembled. But his eyes were still stubborn.
looked at Yu Wenxian, whose face was pale, but refused to compromise. Fa Rong finally put away his murderous aura. Reluctantly narrated.
It turned out that the pair on the bed were Ji Shuangshuang's biological parents. And all this starts with the special family motto of the Ji family.
The ancestor of the Ji family, in order to ensure the purity of the Ji family's bloodline, requires each generation of clansmen to marry close relatives. This has led to the death of babies from time to time. In Ji Xuanyuan's generation, there are only two Ji family bloodlines of Ji Xuanyuan and his sister.
And unfortunately, Ji Xuanyuan's sister gave birth to a boy first, but that boy was born a fool. Many years later, she gave birth to another daughter, but after giving birth to her daughter, Ji Xuanyuan's sister also died due to difficult childbirth. But what people didn't expect was that this child, who lost his mother since he was a child, turned out to be extremely smart. Upon learning of her fate, she fiercely resisted. But Ji Xuanyuan used strong means to make the brother and sister perform the husband and wife ceremony. Then, she went crazy. Although she gave birth to Ji Shuangshuang, she also became a soulless body.
Moreover, in order to allow the bloodline to continue, Ji Xuanyuan did not stop, but arranged for them every month to perform the gift of husband and wife. But to this day, it has not been successful.
Fa Rong took out a large smoking gun out of nowhere, lit the tobacco and smoked it. After taking a heavy breath, he continued, "Shuangshuang is looking for Pegasus, but it's actually to cure his mother's madness. Because it is recorded in the book that boiling Pegasus meat can cure madness. Although, I know that Pegasus doesn't exist, but I don't want to tell her the truth......"
"Beast!" Yuwen said angrily. But with the smoke exhaled by Fa Rong, Yu Wenxian suddenly felt that his eyelids couldn't be raised.
In a daze, I heard Fa Rong's voice: "The door master has ordered, and your injuries have basically been healed." Next, you will enter the ghost abyss to study. Hope you make it out alive. ”
Yuwen Yan couldn't support it anymore and collapsed on the bed. Fa Rong put away his cigarette gun, took out a book from his arms, and stuffed it into Yu Wenxi's hand.
Fa Rong looked at Yu Wenyan with complicated eyes, and said to himself: "I hope you can do it...... Emperor Jing. ”
