Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 132 Prophecy
Girl with eyes closed?Take her as an apprentice?

I looked at Xiao Tong, not knowing what he meant.Since it is said to be a deal, the terms of both parties should be beneficial to him. This Xiao Tong is hundreds of times better than me in terms of skill and spells, and even my master may not be as good as him .If that girl was important to him, why didn't he accept him as an apprentice, but instead let me, a half-hearted Taoist, do it? This is totally unreasonable.

"Don't worry, this matter will do you nothing but harm." Xiao Tong looked at me and said lightly, his eyes were looking into the distance, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

I bit my lip and asked the doubts in my heart: "Uncle Xiao is a thousand times more capable than me. If that girl wants to be a teacher, why doesn't Uncle Xiao accept apprentices himself, instead let me go?"

Xiao Tong smiled slightly, he lowered his head and looked into my eyes, and said leisurely: "There are some reasons for this, but I can't tell you in detail, but I will never lose you, otherwise your master will not let me go .”

I thought about it, since Xiao Tong is unwilling to clarify the matter of apprenticeship, then I will not ask, anyway, this matter does not seem to be harmful to me for the time being.I immediately agreed to Xiao Tong's condition, and asked at the same time: "Uncle Xiao, I agreed to your request, you can tell me about my grandfather's whereabouts now, right? Where can I find my grandfather!"

Although what Xiao Tong said just now was ambiguous, the people I most want to find are nothing more than Chen Shengzhi, Grandpa and Bie Ling.After all, Chen Shengzhi and Bie Ling were characters from many years ago. Generally speaking, it is basically impossible for me to meet them again.So in the end, only my grandfather is left, the old man who brought me up since childhood, as long as I find him, I will be able to get the deeper secrets of the Chen family from him.Originally, I wanted Master to see if I could save Xia Lei, and then look for Grandpa through the clues of the Goki people and Baishi, but now that I can get guidance from Xiaotong, it is the best thing.

Xiao Tong listened to my words, but did not answer my question directly, instead he said to me with a serious face: "Before I tell you, you swear that if you meet that girl in the future, you must accept her as your daughter." only."

I was stunned for a moment. Of course I know such things as oaths. It is a kind of oath that practitioners swear when they agree to other people's conditions. This kind of oath is actually no different from what ordinary people say when they swear and swear.But it is very important for practitioners, because once you make an oath, it is equivalent to planting a seed in your heart. Once you fail to achieve it, then this seed will take root and germinate, destroying your heart , On the road of practice, demons arise.Therefore, practitioners generally do not make such vows lightly. Once they are said, they must be fulfilled.

I took a deep breath, and I swear, I swear, if I really meet that girl, I just accept her as my apprentice. mine.Immediately, I swore an oath according to Xiao Tong's request, and made the first oath in my life.

Xiao Tong nodded in satisfaction, and then said to me: "As the saying goes, secrets are unpredictable. Although I have a little attainment in divination, I can only guess at many things. Actually, I don't know what you want Who are you looking for? I just calculated that in about three months, someone who is very important to you will appear in Mount Emei."

I frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Then you are not sure that person is my grandfather?"

Xiao Tong shook his head and said, "Not sure."

"Is the other party a man or a woman, and how old is it?"

"I don't know."

"About three months? Can you be more precise?"

"Just go early..."

"Mount Emei? The area of ​​Mount Emei is more than 100 square kilometers. Where do you want me to find it? At least tell me the location!"

"Uh, I didn't figure this one out, you'll meet it if you wander around a bit."

……

I let out a long breath, seeing Xiao Tong's innocent face in front of me, I wished I could beat him up.The more I watched, the more I felt that Xiao Tong was teasing me, asking me to go to Emei Mountain to find someone in three months, but there was no specific time and place, and I didn't even know who the other party was. It feels wrong.

"Okay, I've already said what I need to tell you. Don't forget the oath you just made. Don't worry, little guy. When you see the apprentice I found for you, I'm sure you'll die of joy. "Xiao Tong patted me on the shoulder, left straight away, and walked slowly towards the main hall.

I looked at Xiao Tong's back, still thinking about what he said just now.Although I feel that the deal he made with me is very unreliable, but he said earlier that I got the jiaozhu and the totem of the sun bird is very accurate, and he also mentioned my ancestors and the burden on me. If he didn't figure out these things, then he must know something inside. As for the matter of finding someone in Mount Emei, I'm afraid I really have to go there. After all, the old saying is good, I would rather believe it than not. Believe it or not.If you can find my grandfather there, the best thing to do, if not, then just go and see the scenery.

When I was thinking about something by the pool, a hand was placed on my shoulder suddenly, which startled me immediately. I only felt the creeps all over my body, and when I turned around, I found that Zhuge Jun was smiling strangely looking at me.

"Brother Zhuge, don't you know that people scare people, scare people to death. Please don't appear so suddenly in the future." I glared at Zhuge Jun and complained.

Zhuge Jun didn't care either, he laughed and said: "Your master is looking for you in the main hall, hurry over."

Zhuge Jun put his arms around my shoulders while talking, and muttered with a mysterious face: "Brother Chen, I just saw you and Daoist Xiao talking about something, it seems that you have a good relationship. How about you help me to He begged for mercy, let Taoist Xiao accept me as an apprentice, after the matter is done, I, Zhuge Jun, will definitely not forget your great kindness."

I immediately rolled my eyes, it was only the first day I met Xiao Tong, so there was no way we could have a good relationship.And even if I can speak, it is impossible to interfere with other people's apprenticeship. You must know that each sect has its own standards and rules for apprenticeship, and outsiders cannot interfere.Of course, things like Xiao Tong giving me an apprentice are another matter. After all, this is a deal, which I voluntarily agreed to.

I patted Zhuge Jun on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zhuge, it's not that I won't help you, but that I can't do anything about it. Otherwise, if you show off by Mr. Xiao's side, if he sees you Be diligent, maybe you will be recruited directly."

Zhuge Jun was taken aback for a moment, and then he said happily: "Thank you Brother Chen for your suggestion, haha, then I will show a good performance and make sure Taoist Xiao accepts me as an apprentice."

I watched Zhuge Jun chasing Xiao Tong's direction, as if he was really ready to show his love to Xiao Tong, I was speechless, I was just talking casually, I didn't expect him to really take it seriously.

I shook my head and walked towards the main hall.

Soon, when I walked into the gate of the hall, I saw Master, Daoist Qingyun and others were here, and there was a wooden bed in the middle of the hall, on which lay a woman with a beautiful face quietly. With her eyes closed and her face serene, there was a gleaming silver talisman on her forehead, which was the female zombie subdued by Xiao Tong earlier.

I walked up to Master and asked casually, "Master, are you looking for me?"

Master nodded, turned his head and said to me with a serious expression: "Xuanzi, do you know the exact origin of the two consciousnesses in this female zombie's body?"

I saw Daoist Qingyun and others beside me looking at me solemnly. I hesitated and told them everything I knew about Xiulian and Ziyu. Of course, I was just innocent about Xiulian. I said that he was one of my ancestors, but I didn't disclose other things about the Chen family.

When I finished speaking, the entire hall was silent, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing.

After a long time, the master slowly opened his mouth and said: "According to what you said and the words of the Zhuge family boy, this purple jade should be the daughter of Fuchai, the king of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Let the body not rot, so it was preserved. Until the ancestor of the Zhuge family got her out of the ancient tomb. After that, it was kept in the Zhuge family, and then the current head of the Zhuge family used her and Xiulian's body A certain method was combined to form the situation of one corpse and two souls."

The master said that his expression suddenly became more dignified, and he slowly said: "However, after a person dies, the soul leaves the body, and the body left behind is just an unconscious body, unless it turns into a zombie under certain circumstances. A new consciousness, otherwise a 2000-year-old corpse would never have retained its own consciousness."

"According to our speculation, Ziyu can still have her own consciousness. There are two possible reasons. One is that after her death, her soul was forcibly imprisoned in her body before she left her body. Entering the reincarnation of the Yin Division, it has been kept until now. There is another situation, that is, it is very likely that Ziyu did not die at all, but was suppressed alive in the ancient tomb!"
