Hearing what this "Senior Zhong" said, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"How can it be as simple as you think? Even if your descendants treasure the half of the safe lock out of nostalgia for their ancestors and its own value. But from the Ming Dynasty to the present, the world has been in turmoil and dynasties have changed. I don’t know how many times I’ve been separated and reunited!”
"I'm afraid that your descendants will have more resources than strength... I want to keep the safety lock passed down by my ancestors, but in fact it is impossible. It is possible for it to be lost."
"Or take ten thousand steps back, even if your descendants keep this half of the safety lock. There are so many people in the world, I can't just go up to everyone and take out this thing and ask, can I?"
So even if there is one more token like this, it actually doesn’t have much effect at all!
Corpse King Zhong Xiaoyun seemed to see my helplessness.
He waved his hand gently, and the half of the "safety lock" flew over and landed in my palm.
Suddenly, a powerful and invisible aura emanated from it.
My face changed slightly.
"This is……"
The Corpse King looked at the safety lock with a sense of trance in his tone.
"I also know that in hundreds of years, anything can happen. Just having one more token won't help much. But I have injected a wisp of my original aura into it, which can resonate with my blood relatives."
"As long as my direct blood descendants are within two feet of this half of the safety lock, it will vibrate. In this way, is there an extra chance?"
I see!
After hearing this, I felt that this matter was a little more reliable.
At least, it's better than messing around.
I thought for a while, then clasped my fist at the corpse king in front of me.
"Senior Zhong, I will definitely do my best to fulfill your request! But this matter itself involves luck. Even if I run around Yucheng whenever I have free time, I don't dare to say how long it will take to get results. so……"
"do not worry!"
The corpse king's face seemed to be trying to force a smile. Unfortunately, after several attempts without success, the expression looked a little scary.
"I can already feel that you are a person who values your promises and keeps your word! So as long as you do it with your heart, I won't force you in terms of time. Even if it takes you seventy or eighty years to find it, it doesn't matter... it's a big deal. When I can get out from here, I will continue to look for it myself."
When he said this, I felt a little embarrassed.
But if you think about it carefully, am I prone to provoking corpse ghosts and making "dark pacts" to find someone?
Zhou Min half-forced me to find the real culprit who killed her, but this Corpse King asked me to find his descendants...
But everyone has said so, I just need to do it seriously and have a clear conscience!
Zhong Xiaoyun turned to look at the cave where Wang Fei was suppressed and sealed, and said.
"Don't worry about it. I estimate that in two or three years at most, it will degenerate into an ordinary vicious corpse on its own. Within ten years, the corpse energy will be completely wiped out and it will turn into an ordinary withered corpse. Of course, if I take the initiative to connect with the power of the Hundred Bone Tower, I can annihilate it in a moment."
I quickly waved my hand.
"That's not necessary! Firstly, it's a waste of your energy, Senior Zhong. Secondly, after all, this thing is extremely evil, and contaminating it too much may not be good for future practice. Just spend it slowly."
People are being polite to you, but you can't push yourself too far.
This is the courtesy and rules for getting along between people - unless we are familiar with each other to the extent like Lao Cao and Xiao Yuan, then it is very casual.
After we finished chatting about the serious business, I saw that the Corpse King didn’t seem to have the intention of “seeing guests off and driving people away”, so I boldly started chatting with him.
After all, a powerful existence at this level can be of great benefit to people, whether in terms of specific spell practice or experience!
Even if they are not human beings, the essence of spiritual practice is to achieve the same goal through different paths...
So I communicated with the corpse king named "Zhong Xiaoyun" for about two or three hours, and then I said goodbye and left the Hundred Bones Tower.
For the next period of time, I lived in Lao Cao’s coffin shop, and time seemed to return to my junior high school days...
Chat with Lao Cao and help out when there is coffin-carrying work.
I went to be a guest at Bai Su's house in Luojiaopo.
Dinners, games, and movies with Yao Nan, Wang Dachun, and Zeng Jin...
The days passed easily and leisurely.
When school was about to start, Yao Nan asked me to take her father's car to the city.
I thought about it and declined.
Because when I talked with the corpse king Zhong Xiaoyun before, I knew that his hometown was near the current Banan District of Chongqing City.
So I plan to go to the city a few days in advance, and then wander around Banan District to try my luck!
Although I know that this is probably just a waste of effort...
After all, hundreds of years have passed from the Ming Dynasty to the present. It's hard to say that any family would live in such a small area in Banan District and never move.
The probability is too low!
When Yao Nan heard that I refused, he was a little unhappy and pouted.
"Why can't you take my dad's car?"
Uh, this...
I scratched my head and could only answer honestly.
"I have something to do and I need to go to the city in advance."
When Yao Nan heard this, he chuckled.
"That's easy! I'll ask my dad to send us to the city in advance. Anyway, I have many relatives in the city, so I can just go and stay with any aunt or uncle for a few days. Or, I can live with you by myself. "
When she said the last sentence, she winked at me.
I quickly shook my head.
"No, no! I live in Ciqikou in Yucheng. The environment is not good in a bamboo building with bamboo poles. And they are all grown men. It's very inconvenient for you to live there!"
But in the end I still couldn't outsmart Yao Nan...
I could only outline the agreement with the Corpse King, and promised her to go to the city with me in advance. She lives with her sister-in-law and goes to Banan with me during the day.
Five days before the start of the second year of high school, we arrived in Chongqing City.
After putting away my luggage, I planned to go to Banan District and check out the address of my old residence that Zhong Xiaoyun, the Corpse King, told me...
"It's still there? And it's been turned into a cultural heritage building!"
Yao Nan and I were a little surprised when we looked at the antique buildings in front of us.
When Zhong Xiaoyun went to the border to fight, he was already a fourth-level military general, and he could be regarded as a high-ranking official!
Even though the status of military generals in the Ming Dynasty was much lower than that of civilian officials, it was still a simple matter to build a big house in their hometown.
Although the presence of the house does not mean that the descendants are there, it is always good to have more clues!
After all, this kind of cultural relic protection building usually contains a detailed introduction to the life of the original owner of the house... These are things that even Zhong Xiaoyun can't tell me.
