Just after grandma passed away, these people were so arrogant and unreasonable, rushing directly to my house. How could I not be upset?
"What are you going to do? Robbers and bandits?" I stepped forward, blocked the way of this group of people, and asked.
The leader, who listened to my words, also stopped where he was, stretched out his hand to push the brim of his hat, then glared at me fiercely, and then said: "Who do you think you are? According to the regulations of the Maoshan Sect, all I Maoshan disciples must be buried in their ancestral land after death. Is there any problem?" Then, the man deliberately raised his voice and said: "Maoshan disciple Fan Xiuying died in a foreign land. We, under the orders of the Maoshan sect leader, will return her fallen leaves to her roots! "
After saying that, I raised my hands and the masked men behind me passed me directly and walked towards grandma.
Although I don't know if it's true or not, looking at their posture, it doesn't look like they are false. Besides, grandma's name is really Fan Xiuying, which is unmistakable.
So, are these people from Maoshan?
Grandma just introduced the fresh word Maoshan into my mind. Before I had time to think and digest it, in the blink of an eye, someone from Maoshan came here?
Immediately afterwards, the leading man stood on the spot and shouted in a deep voice to the few people who came with him: "Search for me!"
As soon as I heard this, I immediately felt unhappy. This is my home after all. What are you searching for? Even if you are from Maoshan, you can't mess around!
I quickly stepped forward, opened my hands, and said, "Wait, what are you searching for? Breaking into a house without permission. You are breaking the law, do you understand?"
"Boy, I've tolerated you for a long time. If it weren't for your grandfather, I would really want to kill you right now! Don't block the way." The leader pushed me away and said angrily.
For a moment, I was confused. Did this person talk about my grandfather?
When I heard this, I became even more confused. What does this have to do with my grandfather? What they said seemed to me like a sacred book, and I couldn’t understand it at all!
At this time, a person at the back of the group suddenly came forward without saying a word, and pulled me to the door on one side, and then whispered: "Okay, you can't stop me. Come with me, I have something to tell you!"
This person actually has something to say to me? I pondered for a moment and looked at this person carefully. I don’t know why. Although I couldn’t see his appearance, I felt a familiar feeling about him. It was strange. Therefore, my subconscious told me that he didn’t seem to know how to do it. Harm me!
And it can be seen that there is a big difference between this person and this group of people. From the moment I came in, I discovered that when the leader gave orders, he was the only one who did not move. He just stood there, until just now, he came forward and grabbed me.
After I followed him to the side, the group of people was no longer hindered and began to rummage through the boxes in the house, seemingly looking for something.
"Don't blame them. They are also acting under orders and are looking for the things your grandma brought out back then." The man said.
"What?" I asked quickly.
"The token of the leader of the Maoshan Sect." The man continued.
When I heard this, I was stunned again. I had just come into contact with the word Maoshan for just a few minutes. Why did a token of the Maoshan sect pop up again? And even if what he said is true, why is the token at my grandma's place?
The man seemed to see my doubts and continued: "It's nothing strange, because your grandfather was the previous head of the Maoshan Sect. When there was a big change, your grandfather anticipated it in advance and asked your grandma to take you to escape. When I came out, I also took the token with me. The Maoshan token has been wandering outside for more than ten years, but because of your grandfather's face during his lifetime, he didn't do it directly, but waited until your grandma died to take it away."
This moment undoubtedly gave me another shock. Is my grandfather the master of Maoshan? Am I still a second-generation official in Maoshan? If that's the case, then why did grandma take me to escape? My grandfather should have the final say on Maoshan, right?
This also makes me more curious, what happened back then?
"I've never heard my grandma mention this." I said without thinking. Because I really haven't heard of it.
"This matter is top secret in Maoshan. It's normal if you don't know. Then do you know how your grandma died?" the man asked.
I shook my head. This was exactly what I was wondering about. Grandma's death could be said to be sudden and without any warning.
The man paused and explained: "Your grandma was in Maoshan before. The main Maoshan magic she learned was divination. Her divination ability is second to none in Maoshan. I just observed her face, and it was not that of someone who has died. This sudden death was probably due to a divination of a big divination that could peer into the heaven and earth, which directly affected Shou Yuan, so he died so quickly. By the way, do you know the divination predicted by your grandma? What is it?"
To put it bluntly, the so-called hexagrams refer to what is calculated. According to this person, grandma should have calculated a very powerful hexagram. My thoughts suddenly returned to last week. Could it be that I saw grandma in the house that night? Are you doing divination on the balcony? But unfortunately, grandma never mentioned this to me, so she could only shake her head at the moment.
"I don't know, grandma didn't tell me." I said truthfully.
When the man heard this, he stopped asking and said, "Forget it!" After saying that, he added: "I almost forgot, do you know why I called you out?"
After saying that, I looked up and saw a trace of sadness in his eyes. He was actually sad?
At that moment, I thought about it and said tentatively: "Could it be related to my grandma?"
Based on his mood, I can only guess the reason for the time being.
He shook his head after hearing this: "To be precise, it should be related to your grandparents!"
As soon as I heard this, I immediately became excited. Most of the problems that have troubled me over the years came from my grandparents, and this person in front of me might be able to solve my confusion!
"Then can you tell me what happened to my grandparents and them back then?" I asked hurriedly.
The man sighed, and then said: "You want to know about your grandparents?"
I nodded heavily. These things have been weighing on my heart for so many years. Even if my grandma passed away, she still didn't fully answer them for me. There seemed to be an opportunity at the moment, how could I not seize it?
"There are some things, even if I tell you, it doesn't make any sense, because even if you know, you still can't do anything. Rather than struggling in pain after knowing it, it's better not to know!" the man continued.
Although I was a little confused when I heard this, I was not a fool and could still tell what he meant.
"I think you won't talk nonsense to me. Just tell me directly. What do I need to do?" I also said directly.
The man's face hardened and he said in a cold voice: "I'm not afraid to tell you that your grandfather passed away and your grandmother took you to escape, which was directly related to you. And if you want to understand what happened back then, the only way is ...Return to Maoshan!!"
When I heard this, the corners of my eyes twitched heavily. Grandpa passed away and grandma ran away. Was it because of me? Is there something unusual about me?
And the answers to these things, I am afraid only Maoshan can answer them for me!
I continued with confusion: "Then can you take me to Maoshan? I really want to find out what happened back then."
The man shook his head and said with great certainty: "Whether you can go to Maoshan depends on you. Do you think Maoshan will accept a former abandoned son?"
Yes, since my grandma took me to run away, no matter what the reason was, I was eventually abandoned by Maoshan. How could you let me go back so easily?
I smiled bitterly at that moment, looked up at this person, and asked softly: "I guess you must have thought of a solution for me when you told me this, right?"
The man also sighed: "Yes, if you want to go back, there is only one way! Learn Maoshan Taoism, and then work hard to become stronger. Only when your strength can shut up everyone in Maoshan Sect can you go back. If not, even if you go back Now, when you know what happened back then, you can’t change anything. Instead of doing that, it’s better to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life!”
What does this mean? Do you want me to learn the Maoshan technique and then fight against the entire Maoshan? But from the meaning of his words, it is not difficult to tell that what my grandfather went through because of me must have been quite serious!
However, what he said makes sense. If I want to figure out what happened back then, I must return to Maoshan. Therefore, I must practice Maoshan Taoism, and then through my strength, I can change anything!
Thinking of this, I sighed deeply and said in a deep voice: "If this is the only way to understand the past, then I have decided to learn Maoshan Taoism!"
Grandpa died because of me, and grandma didn’t care about me. If I don’t understand these issues, then I’m not a son of man in vain!
At this time, the man suddenly laughed: "Okay, what I want is your decision!"
"Why are you so happy to hear my decision?" I looked up and asked, because this seemed to be his goal, and now it seems that the goal has been achieved!
"Because you are the only grandson of your grandparents. If you don't do some things, there is really no hope!" The man said slowly, his tone full of sighs.
This sentence is like a nail stuck in my heart. Yes, I think that's it...
While I was still deep in thought, the voices of those masked men suddenly came from next to me.
"Not found," one said.
After a while, from another direction, another person also said, "Not found."
Several people in a row gave the same answer. No need to guess, they knew that the "Maoshan Sect Master's Token" they said was not found.
"Not found?" the leading masked man asked, "Then ask that boy!"
Ask me, I don’t know, I really don’t know. Before I could answer, the masked man who just talked to me answered for me: “No need to ask him, he doesn’t know. If he doesn’t find it, If so, just go back!”
The masked man who spoke to me obviously had a high status. As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.
"What about this kid?" asked the masked man who was leading the group just now.
"What else can we do? He has nothing to do with Maoshan anymore. What else do you want to do? Let's go back!"
After that, he turned to me again and lowered his voice: "Lin Jiu, I will come to you again. I hope you will practice what you say, and I will also help you!"
This person actually called my name? And you want to help me? There was something different in the tone. I was sure that this person must have a close relationship with my grandparents.
However, before I had time to think about it, I felt a soreness in my shoulders and lost consciousness again...
When I woke up, it was already night, countless questions filled my mind, and my whole head was dizzy. I slapped my forehead and prepared to stand up while holding on to the wall.
Just as I was about to stand up, something on the back of the table suddenly caught my attention.
The table is not high originally. If you are not sitting on the ground or squatting on the ground, you will not be able to notice it. It seems like a few lines of words!
After careful observation, I discovered that this was not just a few lines of words, it seemed to be a hexagram left by my grandma...
