Chapter 55: The Aoki Clan
The world behind the door was still eerie, and the light seemed to be distorted and only fell on the hunchbacked old man, and the layout and furnishings in the coffin shop seemed to be hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see clearly, or subconsciously took his eyes off it and only fell on the hunchbacked old man.
Entering this room, the five senses become dull.
Gu Xiaozhao was fine, but Su Qiao'er was completely lost, her eyes looked straight at the hunchbacked old man, and her eyes gradually became dull.
Gu Xiaozhao also looked at the hunchbacked old man, his thoughts condensed in his sight, and immediately fell on the old man, almost at the same time, the hunchbacked old man's face became ugly.
He stared at Gu Xiaozhao with a gloomy gaze.
At this time, Gu Xiaozhao stretched out his hand and put it on Su Qiao'er's shoulder on the side, and his thoughts fell, like a strong wind blowing through the fallen leaves, he grabbed Su Qiao'er out of a trance.
"Young Master......"
Su Qiao'er showed a trace of uneasiness on her face and shouted softly.
"It's okay!"
Gu Xiaozhao shook his head and said softly.
"Come in......"
The hunchbacked old man beckoned to Gu Xiaozhao, and said weakly, his tone became extremely gloomy, and the expression on his face was indescribably weird.
The spark of the snuffbox flickered slightly, like a five-degree light bulb in a rural kitchen with unstable electricity.
Condensed his thoughts in his eyes, and the situation in the coffin shop was slowly revealed in his sight.
From the outside, this is just a hut, like an ear room at the back door of the deep house compound, which is a place for the subordinates to rest when guarding the door, so it is extremely narrow, at most it can accommodate a small bed, and two or three people will become very aggrieved when they turn back and forth.
In fact, it is indescribably wide.
Well, to be precise, the word wide is not appropriate, it is actually a bottomless road, flanked by pitch-black stone walls, the stone walls are very rough, not at all smooth, it looks like it is in a cave, the hunchbacked old man stands in the middle with a snuff bottle in his mouth, and nothing else.
Gu Xiaozhao took Su Qiao'er's hand and took a step forward.
So, the two of them also walked into the coffin shop, and after the two of them crossed the threshold, the door of the coffin shop suddenly closed, well, to be precise, it became a wall, and the door disappeared strangely, and the coffin and paper figurines and wreaths that were placed outside the door also disappeared with the wind.
It's just an ordinary alley with moss crawling under the walls, and it's hard for sunlight to get into, and that's it!
"Click......
The soles of the shoes hit the ground and made a sound.
Looking down, the ground under his feet is condensed with a thin layer of ice, and the ice chips are broken under the soles of his shoes, and there is such a sound, not only the ground, but also the stone walls on both sides, condensed with a thin layer of frost, and the temperature in the alley is much lower than that on the street.
Su Qiao'er sighed, and a white mist erupted from her mouth for a long time.
"Destined people......"
The hunchbacked old man said in a long voice, and then, he walked slowly towards Gu Xiaozhao, panting with a sigh in his mouth, slowly came to Gu Xiaozhao, and stretched out his hand to Gu Xiaozhao.
It was a pair of hands that were wrinkled like chicken paws.
Gu Xiaozhao comprehended, he picked up the treasure bag hanging on his waist, took out the strange big-headed puppet in the treasure bag, and put it in the palm of the old man's hand.
"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"
In the void, the laughter of children could be heard.
The laughter was not an illusion, but the big-headed puppet doll rolled in the palm of the old man's hand, and then turned into a light and shadow, and a fat white child wearing a belly pocket jumped up and jumped onto the old man's head, grabbing a trace of long white hair and swinging back and forth, squeaking and laughing happily.
"It's back again...... It's a rarity!"
The hunchbacked old man sighed with satisfaction, but Gu Xiaozhao couldn't understand the meaning of his words, as for Su Qiao'er, she was completely stunned at this moment, and she only knew that she was holding Gu Xiaozhao's hand tightly, if she hadn't experienced that weird mirror world, most of the time would be even more unbearable.
"Come with me......"
The hunchbacked old man beckoned to Gu Xiaozhao.
Then, he leaned halfway, lowered his head, bent over, and chanted softly in his mouth, his voice was extremely low, although Gu Xiaozhao could hear this voice, he didn't know what it meant, it was a spell he had never touched, even if it was the rapid rotation of the cyan nebula in the sea of consciousness, he still didn't know anything.
Then, everything was changing.
The stone walls on both sides are changing, and suddenly the white walls are condensed with frost, and suddenly they become pitch black and boundless, and suddenly they are fiery red rock, as if they came from a lava river......
The feet are not moving, but the environment is changing.
It was as if they were standing on a long conveyor belt, and the incantation chanted by the hunchbacked old man was the kinetic energy that drove them to move anywhere without having to walk on their own.
Or maybe they've been standing where they are, and everything is an illusion.
It seems that a long time has passed, and it seems that in the blink of an eye, the world has changed in front of me.
There was a light in the darkness, at first, it was just a blue-green glow, and gradually, the light became colder and colder, more and more verdant, and the sunrise in the mountains had the same effect, and soon, the blue light flourished, expelling the darkness, and a towering tree was exposed.
It is indeed a towering tree, and when you look up, you can't see the top of the tree, only the verdant sky, and the green branches are gently shaking.
The body of the tree is like a building, wrong, it is several buildings next to each other, and when you come close, you can't see the edge at all, there is a huge tree in the Hengduan Mountain Range of the Tianyun Realm, although this tree is not so huge, but it is not far behind, on this tree, there is a fruit at the end of each branch and leaf.
The fruit is the baby.
It was the same as the baby in the belly pocket hanging from the hunchback of the old hair, swinging on the branches, squeaking and laughing, and happy.
When I looked up, there were trees all over the place.
This not only reminded Gu Xiaozhao of his life on earth, but also the record of ginseng fruit in the book Journey to the West, isn't it?
Before he knew it, he came to the tree, and the baby light and shadow hanging from the white hair of the hunchbacked old man suddenly let go of his hand, as if bound by an invisible rope, and flew towards the verdant tree above his head, and finally, hanging on the end of a branch, grinning.
What's going on?
Then, there is another change.
Strips of light and shadow fell from the trees and landed on Gu Xiaozhao, these lights and shadows were all invisible, even Su Qiao'er, who was close at hand, couldn't see them, however, they couldn't avoid Gu Xiaozhao's divine thoughts, but Gu Xiaozhao wanted to use his divine thoughts to block these lights and shadows and prevent them from falling, but he couldn't.
Gu Xiaozhao's body had a box carved from jade, and the box contained a lot of chalcedony.
At this time, the light and shadow fell into the box, grabbed the chalcedony one by one, and then, the chalcedony broke apart one after another, turned into some bubbles and fell into the light and shadow, and the light and shadow trembled slightly, and it felt like a homeless man who had been hungry for months suddenly ate a full meal.
After all the chalcedony cracked and disappeared, the light and shadow escaped from the box.
Some of the light and shadow fell on the bronze mirror hidden in Gu Xiaozhao's chest, and then shrank back suddenly, as if he had encountered an extremely disgusting thing, very humane.
At this time, the hunchbacked old man turned around abruptly and stared at Gu Xiaozhao with a very strange look.
For a long time, Gu Xiaozhao has relied on his own ability to suppress the mirror world, and he knows in his heart that if he doesn't take this thing with him anytime and anywhere, if he doesn't have his own divine thoughts to block it, he will discard this bronze mirror at will, even if it is thrown in the river, in the deep mountains where no one is around, something big will happen.
This bronze mirror is not a dead thing!
If it weren't for the fact that he poured divine thoughts into it from time to time, isolating it from contact with the various desires and breaths of the red dust in the world, this thing would have disappeared long ago and escaped to other places.
Therefore, knowing that it was somewhat unwise to come here with this thing, Gu Xiaozhao still carried it in his arms.
Sure enough, this thing was exposed after all!
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Unknown for a while!
The blue light swayed, turning into a cyan rune, which entered the center of the hunchbacked old man's eyebrows, and his whole body was bathed in cyan light.
In the blink of an eye, the whole person has changed.
It turned out that he was an old man who was not far from death at first glance, with gray hair, lingering for breath, after the blue light fell, the white hair was black, the wrinkles dissipated, and the back that was pressed by the time and thus carried it suddenly dissipated, the whole waist became straight, and the facial features were also changing, from the old man to a middle-aged man.
The other party could feel this change, and the whole person was very excited, and his expression was difficult to hide.
Rejuvenation?
Just as Gu Xiaozhao frowned, two more cyan runes swirled and fell, one on Su Qiao'er and the other on himself.
At the same time, within the sea of knowledge, the cyan nebula stopped rotating.
When a green leaf entered the sea of knowledge, the cyan nebula suddenly disappeared, well, to be precise, this cyan nebula still exists, in fact, Gu Xiaozhao can sense it, the so-called disappearance is for the cyan leaf, along with the cyan leaf came a divine thought, that divine thought searched in the sea of knowledge, and after no accident found it, it escaped into the green leaf, as if it was dormant.
The Aoki clan?
Gu Xiaozhao had a little more knowledge and insight in his mind, and he became a servant of the Aoki clan in this way, and this green leaf in his own sea of knowledge has three veins, that is to say, as soon as he enters the door, he becomes a third vein, unlike Su Qiao'er and others, the first time he enters the door, it is just a vein, and he must make great contributions or make great contributions to appreciate.
Looking to the side, Su Qiao'er had a green leaf in the center of her eyebrows, and it was indeed a vein.
Ordinary people can't see this thing, they have to use their minds to see it.
My father said that there were three pulses, but my mother was the second pulse, and when I woke up, it was the third pulse, it should be because of the bronze mirror, right? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense at all.
As for his own details, I am afraid that I don't know much about that existence.
Of course, the current self must be low, otherwise the green cloud in the sea of consciousness will not rotate and hide directly, and most of them will swallow that green leaf.
The Aoki clan?
This is called a bloodline inhuman?
This is the so-called secret world?
This coffin shop is located in Meizhou City, I don't know if there is any connection with the one behind the Meishan Sword Sect?
And most importantly, where are your parents now, are they alive or dead?
There are a lot of questions, and I hope to get some answers.
Gu Xiaozhao set his eyes on the guy who was still ecstatic, and his eyes were neither sad nor joyful.
