Chapter 729 Inheritance
Sitting in the hospital and finding myself unable to remember anything was a terrible feeling.Cyclops made me a bowl of glucose to drink. I haven't eaten for a long time, and I didn't feel any taste when I drank it in my mouth.Wei I asked him if anything else happened after he put on the mask. I remember that Yang Fang went crazy because of this.

Cyclops thought for a while, and said, "It's not too dangerous. It's just that you keep chanting mantras, which are very similar to what the red-haired kid usually chanted. By the way... I recorded it."

His last sentence shocked me a lot. He said, "Recording? Why do you think of recording?"

Cyclops rubbed his head with his hand, and said: "Looking at your situation at the time, you knew something was wrong, and I don't know what it means. It's safe to record it. I'll wait for you to wake up and make a decision. Do you want to give this thing to the red?" Boy Mao pass a copy of the past, let him listen to it?"

I beckoned him to give me the phone, pressed the play button and listened to it first, it was indeed my voice, humming a weird tune, I tried to follow it, but I couldn’t find the trick at all, this kind of spell is just as weird The tone, when I am normal, it is impossible to hum.

As the saying goes, every line is like a mountain. I didn't understand it after listening to it for a long time, so I could only signal Cyclops to pass something to Hong Mao, so that Hong Mao could see how it could be you.

Due to the disappearance of tofu, I had to go back to Shenzhen and run the gallery temporarily.I reckoned that he must have left with the corpse fairy, so I began to try to find out about the corpse fairy.But the two of them seemed to have evaporated from the crowd, and there was no news at all.

After thinking about it, I thought of Lu Su, but in the past six months, Lu Su seemed to have evaporated from the world. I even wondered if the Corpse Fairy killed him directly after he left the desert.With no progress in finding the corpse fairy, news finally came from Hongmao's side.

He didn't call to say it, but flew directly to Shenzhen. As soon as he entered the gallery, he stared at me like he was looking at a panda. The indescribable gaze made people feel creepy.I was stared at by him for a moment, couldn't sit still, and said, "What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Hongmao said: "Worshiping eyes."

worship?

This word makes me confused, why does this kid worship me for no reason?
Immediately afterwards, he rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Where is that mask? Show me?" Seeing his expression, he was very interested in this, so I asked, "What did you hear in that recording?" No?" Hongmao waved his hand and said, "If I don't know the content of the recording, why should I come to you? Show me the mask first, and I'll tell you in detail."

Seeing how excited he was, I didn't say much, and led the people upstairs, and handed him the 'Ghost Mask' that was kept in the box.The red hair caressed the mask carefully, then turned it over and over for a while, looking extremely excited, which made me realize that he must know something.

After a while, he seemed to calm down, his normally smiling face now showed a sympathetic expression, and said: "I listened to the recording. But I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for you. "

I said, "What do you mean?"

Hongmao lay down on the sofa and said, "It's a long story, do you know the shaman's inheritance?"

I recalled the information I read before, and said: "Generally, it is hereditary, and bloodlines are important. If there is no hereditary, they will be selected from other capable wizards."

The red hair nodded and said: "The face of ghosts is the mask worn by the highest priests of ghosts and wizards. After they moved to the Central Plains, the inheritance was interrupted several times, and it was revived several times. The Gege you saw before Princess Er and Concubine Wan Yao, although they lived in different dynasties, they were both inheritors. This ghost face is a method of inheritance, in fact, the curse does not exist."

Curse does not exist?
So what have I experienced, what the statement has experienced, and my grandfather's life, what are they?
I felt an indescribable anger rising in my heart.

The red hair saw the clue, and immediately said: "Calm down, I haven't finished talking yet." After a pause, he continued to explain: "Actually, the curse you have always thought of is itself a kind of inheritance. It’s just that this kind of inheritance has disappeared for too long, so it will be misunderstood by everyone. There is actually a reason for the continuous disasters and bad luck.” After speaking, he changed the subject, shrugged, and said: “I know Why am I so poor?"

He changed the subject too quickly, I froze for a moment, and said, "What do you mean?"

Harichagai said: "At any rate, I have some unique skills. There are a lot of people who have died unjustly these days, and they are very noisy. If I want to make money, I won't get mixed up to where I am now. There are rules for each line. I remember you guys." Those who fight against each other are very particular about accumulating virtue?"

I nodded. Inverted fighting is a business that harms morality. Don't believe in evil. Basically, even if there is no accident, the children born to inverted fighting are prone to accidents.The predecessors summed up this experience, so there is a saying of accumulating virtue.

Take the Zhuan family as an example. Its external image is very good. It often does charity, such as poverty-stricken mountainous areas, hope primary schools, disease funds, environmental protection, and so on. On the one hand, it is also to accumulate virtue for oneself.

To put it bluntly, if you earn ten cents, you have to spend two cents to do good deeds.But generally only some people will follow these ancient rules, but those who are scattered or useless, they regard wealth as their life, and the money in their stomachs should be spit out again?no way.

I have made a lot of money over the years, but I spend it quickly. Although I have done charity, I don't do too much. Does this kid mean that I am so unlucky mainly because I have not accumulated enough virtue?
Before I could open my mouth, Hongmao said, "You have your rules, and we have ours. Primitive shamans are similar to Buddhist penance, because shamans have the ability to 'invite gods', so they pay attention to Keeping the strength and purity of the physical body, so the truly famous shamans all through the ages lived like ascetic monks."

I understood a little bit, and said: "You have always been poor, it seems that your ambition is not small."

The red hair still shrugged with a smile, and said: "Everyone has his own aspirations, and everyone's pursuit is different. To others, it is suffering, but to me, it is willingness." This ghost face is actually a tool for inheritance. The first person to accept this inheritance was Bai Weisheng, who is also the fourth Bai Lao Si you mentioned, but he died, and the shadow is actually lifeless, so the inheritance was interrupted. "

I immediately understood, and said: "Then Bai Laosi gave the mask to my grandfather, so my grandfather accepted the inheritance?"

The red hair nodded, and said: "It's a pity that this inheritance has been broken for too long, and ordinary people can't understand the mystery of it. At this time, the highest inheritance from ghost shamans is extremely harsh, and your whole life , the reason why you have constant bad luck is because you are acting according to the life trajectory of ordinary people. In fact, the moment you accept the inheritance, you are actually the heir to the ghost culture. As long as you wear this mask for a long time , you will naturally understand a lot of things. Unfortunately, you avoid it like snakes and scorpions, so you don't understand its true ability."

I was dumbfounded when I heard this, and my mind was even more chaotic.

According to Harichagai, the reason for this is that we have accepted the highest inheritance of the ghost shaman, but it runs counter to the requirements of the inheritance?That's why it's a disaster?
The red hair continued: "You can think of inheritance as a kind of ability. While it brings you strength, it also shackles you in a certain way. If you run counter to it, it will be like the so-called loss of morality of you and the others. , sooner or later you will suffer the consequences; of course, you may also choose another path to become a qualified inheritor. But... this path is extremely painful for ordinary people, and for you. You may have no lover, no wealth, You may die alone and poor, but you will gain great power. This power, in ancient times, was enough to protect and guide a civilization, but in modern society, this power is actually useless.”

He sighed, and said: "That's why I said, this news is good or bad for you. If this inheritance is on me, I will be very happy, but unfortunately, it was given to someone who shouldn't be given. people."

I immediately said: "How to transfer the inheritance to you?"

Hongmao smiled and said, "Unless you die."
