This underground thing is where their mission lies. This sentence is confusing to me.
Because so far, the information the old lady gave me has made it impossible for me to connect it into an effective retreat message.
"Mother-in-law, could the mission you mentioned be..."
I was about to tell my guess, but the old lady interrupted me directly: "Yes, little guest, there is indeed something on the ground under your feet. You must have noticed the abnormality with those strange eyes just now, right?" !”
I didn't deny this at all, and nodded directly, because when I first visited this piece of soil, I did find an abnormality. Large areas of Yin Qi filled the yard. Now it seems that those Yin Qi , it came from underground!
This makes me even more curious about what secrets there are in this underground area.
The old woman continued: "To be honest, before my old man and I were married, he told me the secret here. I was still hesitant at that time, because I still had a choice at that time..."
Speaking of this, the old woman's eyes flashed with tenderness, obviously recalling what happened back then, and her heart was also filled with some other emotions.
"Of course, if I had chosen not to wade into this muddy water at that time, there wouldn't be anything like today, nor would there be today's problems. Alas! After all, love defeats reason. Who hasn't been young and frivolous? Woolen cloth?"
Having said this, the old woman couldn't help but laugh at herself.
"Back then, my old man told me that if I choose to be with him, I have to make a choice, that is, to live here for the rest of my life, because this is the mission left to him by his fathers, and he must always live here. In this place, you can watch the monster under this house! Therefore, you can never leave here. When you gain something, you must lose something. Our old man is the means to obtain Xuanmen. But I lost my free choice!”
When the old woman said this, I was afraid that she was going too far, so I quickly waved my hand and interrupted: "Mother-in-law, I have always heard you say, monsters, monsters, what kind of monsters are buried under this land?"
I also cut directly to the topic and asked.
The old woman raised her head and thought carefully for a while: "Actually... I don't know exactly what is down here, because I have never seen it before. I heard from the old man that it was a monster that his father suppressed before. However, although their metaphysical methods are powerful, they were already in decline when they were introduced to them. My old man’s father was like this, let alone my old man. He was not even as good as his father, so not only could he not be killed He didn’t even know what it was when he dropped it, so he could only bury it here and keep looking at it!”
After hearing this, I sorted out the causes and consequences of some things. Under this house is a monster sealed by the ancestors of this family. Because of insufficient power, I can only suppress it, but similarly, it also requires two people. to compensate for the freedom of others.
In fact, if you put aside the essence of the matter, this is a rare family. Being able to sacrifice the freedom of two generations for a monster is something that ordinary people cannot do.
This is equivalent to sacrificing the small family for everyone. If you are not a Taoist, you will not know what kind of dangers are hidden in areas that normal people do not know! So they can do this to protect more people!
Of course, if you were stronger and killed the monster directly, that would be a problem.
While I felt sorry for the fate of this family, I couldn't help but start to look at this land. If I hadn't heard the old lady tell me this story, who would have thought that there was something terrible buried underneath!
"Mother-in-law, if I'm not wrong, now that your old man has passed away, the corresponding result is that there is no one to check and balance, and the monster can no longer be suppressed here, right? So, it may be coming out! This That's the reason why you've been troubled!" I rubbed my chin and expressed my guess. If I follow my thoughts and say this, everything can be closed.
Unexpectedly, the old woman actually shook her head and denied my guess: "No, little guest, you are telling the contrary. Although I don't understand your Taoist methods, I heard my old man say that there was originally a sect in this yard. What seal came from was left by his fathers, but some time ago, something happened on the other side of Kunlun Mountain. The earth veins triggered huge energy, which directly shook the seal open, and then the The monster has a chance to escape!"
What happened on the other side of Kunlun Mountain?
Could it be that the huge energy caused by the dragon's wrath some time ago?
Has it all spread here?
I couldn't help but feel a little helpless, I smiled bitterly to myself, and walked around in circles for a long time. It turned out that it was still a sequelae of that time.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the old lady thought I was shocked, and said: "My old man also discovered this, so he wanted to take some remedial measures, but how could his old bones withstand such a thing?" Tossing, he wasn’t very powerful to begin with, but before he could do anything, he was counterattacked by the aura of the monster lurking underground and died!”
"When he was dying, he told me that the trouble here could only be solved by someone at the Taoist level, otherwise it would all be in vain."
"Oh, I don't care. It's just my little granddaughter. She's still so young..." When the old woman said this, a trace of tears actually appeared in her dry eyes.
After hearing this, I finally understood that the source of all evil seemed to be this underground monster.
But it's hard for this old woman. At such a young age, she still has to experience the pain of losing her husband and her children.
"Mother-in-law, since you are so reluctant to let go, then you can definitely send your little granddaughter out. Wouldn't it be better if you don't let her stay here?" I said after thinking subconsciously.
The old woman sighed and said: "Why don't I want to? But it's useless. My old man said that as long as they are descendants of their lineage, when the monster comes out, it will not let go no matter where it ends, because Its resentment is too great!”
