Tianwei Chapter 278 The Mystery of the Heavenly Emperor (1)
I was in no mood to delve into it, as the result might just make me even more desperate.
After all, once the King of Hell fully awakens, it means that the underworld will begin to operate normally. At that time, the three sacred objects that are scattered outside will be returned to their original owners. Once the soul enters reincarnation, with my ability, where can I find it?
On the fifth day, an unexpected but reasonable guest came to the Taoist temple.
He was none other than Gamu.
His appearance did not surprise me, but I did not expect him to come so soon.
The little beauty and Gamu had not met each other many times, so they were very unfamiliar. When Gamu wanted to see the old Taoist's body, she even tried her best to stop him. If I hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid Gamu would have been scratched by her. Then fill the trough with some grass and take it to the stable to use .
He is Gamu, a good friend of the old Taoist priest. I pulled the little beauty away and explained to her.
Is she the one? Gamu looked at the little beauty and asked in a low voice.
I hummed, Gamu nodded, looked at the little beauty for a few more times, and shook his head. Then, he walked closer to the old Taoist, bent down slightly, stretched his neck, and looked at the old Taoist below carefully and seriously.
It doesn't look like he's dead, he said.
I couldn't respond to this and could only remain silent.
I didn’t expect he would really die, he said again.
The little beauty couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears. The cry was so loud that even Gamu couldn't help shaking. I quickly called the little boy Tiansheng and asked him to pull the little beauty out.
Gamu just stood there, looking at the old Taoist's face, and suddenly asked: You didn't suffer any pain at that time, right?
Being pierced by the golden-winged corpse is definitely a pain that ordinary people cannot endure. But when Gamu asked this question, I could only answer: No.
It was too easy to let that guy die. Gamu stood up straight, as if to say to me, or to the old Taoist: Don't worry, all the people who had any connection with him have been found. I did it myself, and no one was left alive.
He spoke in a light tone, and no unusual emotion could be heard in his voice, but his clenched hands and slightly trembling body showed that this man, who was about the same age as the old Taoist, was in a state of extreme sadness.
After he finished speaking, he stood there for more than ten minutes. Finally, he turned his head away and wiped his face slowly with his hands before turning his head back. I saw that his eyes were red, and even though he wiped them with his hands, I could still see traces of tears.
I heard from my elder brother that if you send those two things back, you can save him? Gamu asked.
I nodded, then sighed and said: But it's difficult.
It is very difficult. Those two things involve the future fate of the entire Tianshi Clan. Neither I nor my elder brother can make another choice. Gamu said: But my elder brother said that you are trying to find a replacement. Do you have any idea?
No. I shook my head and didn't intend to tell anyone about Grandpa Shi's affairs. After all, it was my family affair. Moreover, it was a family scandal. If I told anyone about it, I would only be laughed at.
How long can he last? Gamu looked at the white smoke around the old Taoist.
Maybe one or two weeks. I'm giving a conservative estimate, but the exact time is definitely shorter than this.
One or two weeks... Gamu was a little dazed, then he sighed heavily and said nothing.
Is there anything I can help you with? he asked later.
No, I answered.
If anyone is causing trouble, they can go to Tianshimai to find me or my elder brother, Gamu said.
I nodded and said okay.
Afterwards, we were silent for a few minutes. Gamu looked outside the door, listened to the faint crying sounds, and asked: That little girl... I want to adopt her as my daughter, and my eldest brother also plans to do so.
I have no say in this. I shook my head and said, "But I don't object."
Gamu nodded and said: I will talk to her later.
After another silence, I didn't like this atmosphere, so I asked: How is the Heavenly Corpse Vein? Is the Walking Corpse Vein receiving smoothly? I heard that you had a conflict with the Secret Corpse Vein that day, and I didn't help much. I was useless.
Gamu didn't seem to notice my self-deprecating tone, and just said: "It's going well. After a while, there shouldn't be so many messy troubles."
From what he said, it seemed that Wei Qingcang was preparing for some big move. But this was someone else's secret, and I didn't want to ask more.
Gamu looked at me, sized me up and down, nodded, and said: I can see that you have gone through a lot of hardships and are about to succeed.
Haha... I smiled bitterly and shook my head: If this is the kind of training I have to endure, I might as well just stay at home and wait to die.
Now that you are here, just go on. Gamu sighed, turned his head and looked at the old Taoist's body, and said: It is not in vain that he has put so much effort into this.
I nodded and didn't say anything more.
After a while, Gamu asked again: Has his junior brother been found yet?
I shook my head and said: I guess it can't be found. It's not in the underworld. He had looked in the Book of Life and Death before, but couldn't find it either.
Then the five elements meridians are... Gamu shook his head, looked at me and asked: What are you going to do?
What do you mean?
Five Elements Pulse, and you. He replied.
The Five Elements Meridian… I haven’t thought about this, after all, it’s not mine. As for me, I’ll just take it one step at a time.
Although it is not yours, he is like a master and a father to you. Do you want to cut off his lineage? When Gamu said this, he seemed a little angry and his tone was stiff.
I could understand his emotions, so I said: He said before that if the Five Elements were to be cut off, the Five Classics would reappear in the world. No matter what I do now, when the Five Classics appear, they might start all over again.
Gamu was slightly stunned, as if he was hearing this news for the first time. Soon he shook his head helplessly and said: Forget it, I can't force it, just break it off. It's just a pity that he doesn't have a... Alas!
I understand what he didn't finish saying, and it's indeed a pity, but there are too many regrettable things in this world that no one can change.
You kid... Gamu looked at the corpse of the Taoist priest and suddenly laughed: You ran faster than me, you can't wait or something. Since you can't wait in this life, just stay in the underworld. When I go, we will reincarnate together and be brothers in the next life. At that time, you will be the elder brother and I will be the younger brother. As a younger brother, it is too late to make up for those mistakes in this life, let's do it in the next life. In the next life, I, my younger brother...
As Gamu spoke, tears began to flow and he could not continue.
I sighed, walked over, hugged his shoulders and patted him. Gamu wiped his tears, nodded at me, and walked out.
I made way for him to go out, and waited until he disappeared outside the door before I moved closer to the Taoist priest.
With the protection of Grandpa Shi's smoke, the old Taoist still looked the same as before. There was no dead face, no corpse spots, and his face was ruddy, like a living person.
Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but say: See, this is the end. After so long, he is the only one who came to see you. I told you long ago, but you didn't listen. You made so many enemies. What if you want to build a hall in the future, and there won't even be a shadow of a person in front of the door, how sad is that?
But you are right, friends are not necessarily friends, enemies are not necessarily enemies. Those who hurt you are crying for you, and those who helped you are gone. Maybe you actually see things more clearly than I do.
In fact, I really hope that he can get up, pat my head hard, and scold me: You talk too much!
However, this hope is becoming increasingly slim.
I watched the old Taoist priest there for a long time, and then I went out, only to see Gamu talking to the beautiful girl.
He and I are like brothers, though not blood relatives, we are like close relatives. Whether you like it or not, I will be your elder. Even if you don't call me godfather, you are still my daughter. I will kill anyone who dares to bully you in this world. Gamu said.
The little beauty cried softly, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
But I feel relieved. With Wei Qingcang's character, once he is ready to take action, he is usually sure to win. Although I don't know how he will deal with the Secret Corpse Vein, once the entire Heavenly Corpse Vein is in his hands, that power will be enough to shock the world. With him and Gamu behind her, the little beauty will find a big backer in the future. Even if she is not experienced, no one will dare to bully her.
At this time, Gamu came over and put something in my hand. I opened it and saw that it was a black wooden sign with a strange symbol engraved on it.
This is the elder token of my Tianshi Clan. Take it. If you have any problem, come to me and my elder brother directly. No matter what trouble you have, we will help you solve it. With your status, it is not appropriate to worship me as your godfather. If you don’t mind, just call me uncle. Gamu said.
Holding the token in my hand, I felt a little emotional. I didn't expect that at this time, the person who cared about me the most was not my family, but a stranger with no blood relationship with me.
"Okay, uncle." I didn't hesitate, and I bent down and knelt to kowtow.
Gamu held me and said, "It's just a title, there's no need for so many formalities. You will achieve unlimited success in the future, and calling me uncle is a great honor to me. Tell others about it, and it will bring honor to me."
I knew he was deliberately flattering me and wanted me to get rid of my negative mood, so I nodded and said, "Okay, thank you. But although I don't have great abilities now, you must call me if I can help you in the future. If you only think about protecting me and hide me behind, I don't want this token."
Gamu looked at me very seriously. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said: "I have the same temper as him. OK, I'll do as you say. If I call you for something and you don't come, don't blame me for spanking you."
No problem, I won’t complain even if the flowers bloom.
Gamu nodded with a look of great satisfaction and was about to speak when Tiansheng suddenly shouted: "You're back! You're back!"
I turned around and saw him pointing outside.
Gamu and I walked out of the temple. The little beauty was closer to the door than us. She was crying just now. When Tiansheng called out, she turned her head and suddenly ran out. While running, she turned back and shouted to me: Tianyou! It's Grandpa Shi! Grandpa Shi is back!
Grandpa Shi...how is that possible?
No! Pah! I slapped my head quickly. This idea is not auspicious.
I ran out to take a look, and it was really Grandpa Shi. He was outside the Taoist temple, walking towards me step by step. When he saw me, he immediately stopped.
What made me feel something was wrong was that the way his eyes and expression looked at me was a little strange, a kind of strangeness that was hard to describe.
