Faced with my question, Tang Dabao said naturally: "Yes, this is the ancestral land that our Xiangxi corpse exorcism lineage has inherited for many years. It used to have a large population, but since we tried to fuse the remains of the ancient corpse king
After that, all the brothers and sisters of my generation were killed and injured, and I was basically the only one left in this generation..."
After following Tang Dabao into this ancient and run-down village, it turned out that just as he said, the village was mostly filled with middle-aged men and women and some pregnant widows. There were not a single young man or woman in sight.
When I followed Tang Dabao into the village, I attracted the attention of many people. The way they looked at me made me feel very uncomfortable.
Especially Tang Dabao, who has been shouting about my identity since he entered the village, saying that he has brought back the contemporary descendant of the underworld. He was so proud that those who didn't know thought I was his prisoner!
This ancient and dilapidated village was a sensation, probably because no outsiders have been here for a long time, or maybe because of my status as a contemporary messenger, the people in the village looked at me with all kinds of excitement, and even
Some even cried out in pain.
As for being so excited?
I felt a little strange, but it was not the right time to ask Tang Dabao face to face what the reason was, so I could only follow Tang Dabao forward.
When we arrived in front of the huge ancestral hall in the center of the village, a group of old guys swarmed up. They all looked at me with bright eyes, as if they were looking at some unique treasure, and like a group of people who had been single for many years.
The feeling of an old bachelor looking at a peerless beauty, that look in his eyes made me even more uncomfortable.
"Is he really a contemporary messenger?"
"Is it really the pure bloodline of the Yin Sender?"
"Dabao, have you verified your identity? You can't be careless in this matter! This is an issue related to the inheritance of our lineage!"
…
Faced with the anxious inquiries from those old guys, Tang Dabao waved his hand to tell them to calm down, pointed at me, and said loudly to everyone present: "His name is Li Tianci, he is the successor of the contemporary messenger of death.
, is also the only direct descendant of the bloodline. His strength is much stronger than mine, and he even has the power to directly communicate with the senior officials of the Yin Division, and his status in the Yin Division is not low..."
Rather than saying that Tang Dabao was introducing me, it would be better to say that he was bragging for me. The flattering words came out of his mouth for free, which made me feel even weirder.
This guy only asked me to come and help him before, but he didn’t say what kind of help he would do. Now looking at the expectant and excited faces of everyone in the Tang family, my intuition told me that they wanted to
My help won’t be easy anymore!
Although the people in the Tang family were a little skeptical about Tang Dabao's bragging about me, more of them immediately burst into tears with excitement.
Some middle-aged women knelt down directly on the ground, crying and begging me to help their children return to the world, or to bring their children's souls back from the underworld, etc.
At this time, I finally understood. It turned out that this was what the Tang family had planned!
However, this is really difficult for me!
Even for my parents, I can't help them return to the earth, let alone the young men and women of the Tang family who died!
Besides, even if I have that ability, I can't help the Tang family without any bottom line. After all, the Tang family and I don't have any friendship, and I can't risk violating the laws of the underworld to help them, right?
Tang Dabao and the old guys also understood this. After reprimanding the crying middle-aged women, they all looked at me with some scorn and invited me into their village ancestral hall.
There are many spiritual tablets in the ancestral hall. The hundreds of spiritual tablets at the bottom are relatively new at first glance. They are probably from the younger generation of men and women who died before the Tang family.
After entering the ancestral hall, I glanced at the spiritual tablets and sighed: "If you want me to help return the deceased members of the younger generation of your Tang family to the Yang family, it's best not to say anything about this kind of thing, Yin Si
It’s not opened by my family, I don’t have that ability yet!”
Hearing what I said, a short old man suddenly became anxious and said: "The Yin-sending people have a great connection with the judge. As long as you beg the judge to show your respect, then our grandchildren..."
"Shut up!"
Before the little old man finished speaking, he was stopped by an old man who looked a bit like Tang Dabao in a cold voice. At the same time, he glared at the short old man fiercely. The other old men also looked at idiots.
He looked at the short old man with his eyes.
The short old man probably realized that what he said was a bit abrupt, so he hurriedly lowered his head and remained silent.
Tang Dabao snorted and said: "I invited him here. He is richer than us. Our two fiancées have a lot of property in their families and are stronger than me... Old guys, put away your arrogance and now
We are asking for help from others, don’t think that they should help us. If we want others to help, we have to show some sincerity. Okay, I’m done, let’s talk!”
Tang Dabao's words immediately made the old guys in the ancestral hall speechless, and they all looked embarrassed.
There is no fool here. Tang Dabao's words revealed a lot of information. I have money and a woman, so if the Tang family wants me to help, don't mention sending beautiful women and money.
"that……"
The old man who looked somewhat similar to Tang Dabao glared at Tang Dabao fiercely, then smiled bitterly at me and said, "What do you want from Goddessin before you can agree to do this for us? As long as we can come up with it,
I will never refuse!”
Tang Dabao did not speak for his family, but considered the problem on my side, which made these old guys in the Tang family very helpless.
I sighed softly, shook my head and said, "I told you, I don't have the ability to help your grandchildren return to the world, I don't have that ability!"
"There is no need to return them to Yang!"
The old man said simply: "As long as their souls are entrusted in the ancestral hall of our Tang family, it will be enough to keep the blood of our Tang family alive!"
The old man's words made me stunned for a moment. I didn't expect that he would make such a request.
Except for Tang Dabao, all the younger generations of the Tang family have been killed or injured. However, when they entered the village, they saw many relatively young widows. It is estimated that the older generation of the Tang family has put their hope in inheriting the bloodline in these widows.
It is not a high request to have the souls of his grandchildren return to the ancestral hall to protect the Tang family's bloodline.
As for Tang Dabao, who has the purest blood and the strongest strength among the younger generation, it is probably a little bit uncertain for him to take on the responsibility of inheriting the Tang family's bloodline by himself.
I remained silent. The old guys in the Tang family were all anxiously waiting for my response. The old man who just spoke kept winking at Tang Dabao, hoping that Tang Dabao would help persuade me.
Tang Dabao coughed lightly and said to the old guys: "Although Brother Tianci is the descendant of the contemporary Yin Sending People, I don't know much about their lineage in the past. I remember that there are some ancient records in our family, which can be taken out.
