The dim room was reflected in the mirror. At first, Tong Bo was a little confused, but under my guidance, he slightly adjusted the direction of the yin-yang mirror. Finally! A baby with a magic talisman on his forehead appeared in the mirror.
Tong Bo's expression suddenly froze. After a long time, he spoke with difficulty,
"This...this is my grandson..."
I nodded gently.
"Child...child..."
Uncle Tong murmured in his mouth. He turned his head and looked at the bedside. Unfortunately, he could only see a magic talisman, but not the child. The grandfather and grandson had been separated forever since they first met. Why?
Can make people sigh.
I couldn't help but feel compassion in my heart, so I stepped forward and took off the magic talisman on Yingling's forehead. Yingling seemed to have noticed that Tong Bo was looking at him in the mirror, and even lightly jumped onto his shoulder curiously.
Stare in the mirror.
Because there is a charm drawn by me on the mirror, it will not harm the baby spirit...
In this way, one person and one ghost met for the first and last time in this special way. I saw that the time was almost up, so I stepped forward and said:
"Uncle Tong, I want to send them away..."
Uncle Tong wiped away his tears, took one last look, then gritted his teeth and returned the Yin-Yang Mirror to me, and I didn't waste any more time, and saved all seven infant spirits in one breath...
"Tong Qian, I have finally fulfilled all my promises to you!" I said with emotion in my heart.
When we returned to Uncle Tong's house, we were pleasantly surprised to find that Erdan's daughter-in-law's belly had returned to the size of a normal pregnant woman, and the shocking bloody streaks on her belly had disappeared.
The couple surrounded Aunt Liu and expressed their gratitude.
"Okay Erdan, take your wife back and take good care of her. Lan Lan has just recovered and needs a good rest..."
After Tong Bo's persuasion, the two left.
"Xiaoyu, let's have a good chat with your Aunt Liu. I'll go find someone to deal with Qianqian's body first..."
On the way back, I told Uncle Tong where Tong Qian's body was buried, so I can understand why he was anxious to deal with it.
After Uncle Tong left, I quickly fetched a basin of water and urged Lao Yutou to turn into a turtle and go in for a while. He hadn't touched the water for several days, and he was afraid he would die of dryness...
"Little bastard, you finally remembered me!" Lao Yutou complained.
I curled my lips and had no time to pay attention to him. I turned around and was about to talk to Aunt Liu, but she suddenly raised my arm, pointed at the black line on the inside of my arm, and stared at me with a serious face:
"Xiaoyu, what's going on with this ghost mark?!"
I scratched my head, told me about my use of the soul-building technique and Ye Qing's story, and then asked cautiously:
"Aunt Liu, Master asked me to come to you this time. He asked me to ask you if there is any way to end the master-servant relationship between Ye Qing and me..."
Aunt Liu gently touched the ghost mark on my arm with her hand. After being silent for a long time, she slowly spoke,
"Hey...after all, this is life, a fate that cannot be thrown away!"
"what does it mean?"
Aunt Liu stood up slowly, walked slowly to the door of the room and stared at the cold night outside.
"Xiaoyu, let me tell you a story. After listening to it, you will understand..."
I nodded and didn't interrupt.
"You must have heard of Master Xian. He can be said to be the most powerful being in the world of ghosts. Not only does his Taoism reach the heavens, but his appeal is also ridiculously strong. Back then, he had a good brother who was also a leader in the world of ghosts..."
"This man is proficient in the art of hexagram seals and is also good at catching ghosts. His strength may not be inferior to that of the Immortal Master, but he follows the Immortal Master's lead."
"The art of hexagram seal? Could this person be..."
Aunt Liu looked back at me,
"Yes, this person is your master Huo Tiansuan."
I took a deep breath, and I didn't expect that Master, who was considered to be at the top of the food chain in this circle, could be compared to the immortal master who was so expressionless when talking about ghosts and monsters.
"Back then, your master admired Master Xian very much, but there was only one thing he couldn't stand..."
"Which point?" I couldn't help but ask.
"The Immortal Master believes that people are divided into good and bad, and so are ghosts. Therefore, he often lets some good ghosts go, and even accepts ghost servants. In this way, there will be some good ghosts around him who do not want to be reincarnated to follow him..."
"And this point is intolerable in the eyes of other mages. It goes against the great principles of heaven and earth. As time goes by, some good people will sow discord, which once caused the immortal master's prestige to fall to the bottom..."
"And it was at that time that the battle between the Mage Alliance and the ghost bandits took place. Alas, originally the casualties would not have been so heavy. Originally, the Immortal Master did not need to die... It is a pity that the Immortal Master's prestige at that time had declined.
The young master didn't want to follow, so..."
Aunt Liu's face gradually darkened, and I felt very sad. I didn't expect that there were so many unknown things hidden in it. I suddenly thought of a question,
"Since Master is a good friend of Master Xian, in that battle... was Master involved?"
Aunt Liu looked at me with a complicated expression, but lightly shook her head.
"ah?!"
This result surprised me very much.
"Back then, your master was worried about Master Xian raising ghost servants, and there was a estrangement between the two of them. Therefore, Master Xian did not let Huo Qiansuan know about that battle. After Huo Qiansuan found out, he rushed to the scene.
, Immortal Master has died in battle."
"And all Huo Qiansuan can do is bury Master Xian's ashes on the top of the mountain..."
After hearing this, I finally understood why Master was so angry about me accepting ghost servants. I also remembered that Old Yutou once said that the ashes of Master Xian were personally buried by his friends. It turned out that this person was Master...
"Let me tell you what happens next..."
Lao Yu stuck his neck out of the water and continued:
"The death of the Immortal Master was a great blow to Huo Qiansuan. In those few years, he almost lived a self-destructive life, breaking the rules of the hexagram seal without restraint, and repeatedly divining losses for the living.
I don’t know how many evil deeds I have, and how many secrets I have revealed, but in the end I ended up losing my life span and not being able to live past forty!”
My body trembled, and I remembered what Blind Man Wu once told me about Master, but what he said at the time was not entirely correct. Blind Man Wu said that Master gave fortune-tellings to do good deeds, but now it seems that the real reason is
Master is blaming himself and giving up on himself...
"Then how did Master come out of the shadows later? Why did he suddenly start desperately trying to earn Yin virtue and Yang Shou in order to survive?"
I asked this most crucial question.
Aunt Liu and Lao Yutou fell into silence in a tacit understanding. I looked at them with big eyes and small eyes. Just when I was about to ask, Aunt Liu spoke up,
"It's because he knew a secret about Master Xian..."
