Chapter 74 I Believe in You
"My dear nephew, Qiqi will be handed over to you from now on. I hope you can protect her better."
Jiang Lao San suddenly said this. I turned my head and glared at him and said, "My master and I are just here to check the situation. We haven't agreed to this marriage yet. Besides, can't the Jiang family protect her? I'm just a sloppy rookie hunter. I can't even protect myself, so how can I protect her?"
Jiang Lao San pretended to be in deep thought, nodded, and said, "That's right, you are indeed still a rookie."
Damn, it looks like you only heard the last sentence, right?
"But who isn't a rookie at first? As long as you work hard, even the rookiest of birds can spread their wings and fly high."
Jiang Laosan raised his head and took a sip of wine, then said, "I already know about your situation."
Got it? Could it be that the old master told him? I asked in surprise, "What is your relationship with that stinky old master?"
"We, we have caught ghosts together, fought monsters together, drank together, and visited prostitutes together."
Well?
"Oh no, we took a bath together, haha. We should be considered good friends."
That stinky old man didn't even mention this. Did he collude with this Jiang Lao San? Doesn't that mean he already knew that the wife he would find for me was that silly girl Jiang Qiqi?
I got up and rushed into the room, but the old master was already drunk, lying on the floor, snoring like thunder. I went up to him and shouted, "Hey, stop pretending to be dead, get up, I have something to ask you."
Not only did this guy not wake up, but his snoring seemed to be getting louder. Damn, is he pretending to be asleep?
"Sister, you are really pretending. Hurry up and explain yourself to me."
"Haha, Ye Yun, stop shouting. No matter if he is pretending or not, this guy will not wake up." Jiang Laosan's voice came from outside.
I cursed, walked out of the house, went back to the stone, glared at Jiang Lao San, and asked, "What's going on? Tell me clearly, otherwise even if the sun is on, I won't agree to this marriage."
Jiang Lao San took a sip of wine, sighed, and began to speak: "Qi Qi is also a miserable child. She is my eldest brother's child. Not long after she was born, my eldest brother met his enemies while on a mission and was killed. When Qi Qi was nine years old, my eldest sister-in-law also disappeared while on a mission."
Uh, that’s not right. Jiang Qiqi’s father is dead, so what is this second mother of hers?
"Who was that woman who came to see you just now?"
I asked curiously.
"That's my second sister-in-law. Now the Jiang family is headed by my second brother."
Oh my god, isn't that the second aunt? I thought it was Jiang Qiqi's stepmother.
"Qiqi has been weak since she was young, so I taught her to practice martial arts to strengthen her body. She is also very talented. Although she doesn't seem to be very interested in learning, she learns very quickly. Do you know why Qiqi's mind is like that of a child?"
I couldn't help but be stunned, and rolled my eyes and said, "How would I know? I can't tell fortunes by pinching my fingers."
Jiang Lao San smiled and continued, "A person has three souls and seven spirits, none of which can be missing. But Qiqi only has one soul and two spirits."
I have heard of the term "three souls and seven spirits" before, I have seen it in books and on TV . But what this guy said seems to be inconsistent.
"Both are indispensable, so how come Jiang Qiqi is still alive?"
Jiang Laosan's expression suddenly became serious, and he didn't look drunk at all.
"The three souls are Taiguang, Shuangling and Youjing. The seven spirits are Shigou, Fushi, Queyin, Tunzei, Feidu, Chuji and Choufei. The three souls control a person's spirit, while the seven spirits control the seven chakras of the human body. If any one of them is missing, there will be problems in life."
"Oh my god, what is this thing for? I don't know, but I can read books and look it up on the Internet."
Jiang Laosan seemed to be choked, glared at me, and then said: "But Qiqi was born very strange. Although she only has one soul and two spirits, she survived. The ghost spirit among the three souls controls the seven spirits, and Qiqi was born with only one soul, Taiguang, and two spirits, Tunzei and Chuhui."
This guy talked a lot, and I was confused. I said impatiently, "I don't have much education, so I don't understand what you are saying. You should speak more simply and get to the point directly."
Jiang Lao San paused, rolled his eyes, and seemed a little helpless, but still nodded, and then said: "Okay, I'll keep it simple. Under normal circumstances, if an ordinary person lacks any of the three souls and seven spirits, even if they don't die, it will be abnormal. If two souls and five spirits are missing, then they will definitely die. Let me put it more simply, Qiqi is also a very strange child."
I nodded and waited for a while. He didn't say anything else. I looked at him and asked, "Is that it?"
"how?"
Instead, he was stunned.
"What do you mean by all this? I just want to know why you colluded with that stinky old master to cheat me. I'm just a rookie hunter, a poor boy, why did you pick on me?"
Jiang Lao San smiled and said, "This is also a coincidence. Brother Jiu suddenly came to the Jiang family that day. Speaking of that day, that guy actually broke in directly, just to find a formation that could suppress your sun wheel. Your master really cares about you."
I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and glanced at the smelly old man who was still sleeping soundly on the ground in the room. Could this guy really be asleep?
"Then he told me about your situation. I happened to tell him about mine, and we hit it off immediately. I will give you the formation that can suppress the sun. You must promise to marry Qiqi, take her away, and protect her well."
I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hey, isn't it safer for all of you to hide in this mountain cave? If you can't protect her here, you'll die faster if you follow me. Also, didn't you tell that woman just now that you wanted Jiang Qiqi to stay here?"
Jiang Lao San shook his head and said, "Just now, I was just deliberately trying to piss off the second sister- . Now in the entire Jiang family, I am the only one with Xiao Min who can take care of Qi Qi. I will be going on a mission soon, and the chances of me coming back alive are almost zero. If I die, Xiao Min alone will not be able to take care of Qi Qi."
"Fuck, you knew it was a life-or-death situation, but you still went, are you stupid?"
He smiled again and said, "There are some things that you have to do even if you know you can't do them. There are some times when you know it's dangerous but you can't back off."
Well, I don’t really understand the big principles, and I’m too lazy to think about it.
"What's the point of you telling me these great principles? I've already said that I'm just a rookie. I can't even protect myself, so how can I protect her?"
Jiang Lao San raised his head and took a big gulp of wine, then said with a smile: "I believe in you and your master. And I also happen to have the formation you need."
