The Tale of the Ghost Eyes

Chapter 269: Temporary truce

Views:

The old man didn't scold me. At this time, our distance was getting farther and farther. After walking a short distance, we returned to the door of Yang Xiaohui's house. He was stunned and asked, "Is he injured?"

I shook my head and said, "I'm not injured, I'm just collapsed. It's enough to rest for a day or two."

Before entering the yard this time, I first posted the town house talisman on the door, and then posted a few more thunder talismans in the yard. Wang Junhui and I collided with the old man, and he would come to sneak attack at night, so I posted more These talismans should be taken as a preventive shot. It is best if the old man does not come. If it does come, we will not be caught by surprise.

After first helping Wang Junhui to go back to the house to rest, I went to find Yang Ji'an again, because I thought of a few more questions.

After sitting down opposite Yang Ji'an, I didn't talk nonsense, so I asked him directly: "Mr. Yang, didn't you say that Chen Wen's family is the descendant of Chen Jungui's family, then their family members are still there now. in the village?"

Hearing my question, Yang Ji'an was stunned for a moment and said, "Why are you asking this?"

Looking at Yang Ji'an's expression, I knew there was something wrong, so I said: "It's very simple, in the story, didn't Chen Wen say that their family is the guardian of Huamu Village? They must have a way to fight with the old man. Communicate, otherwise this story will not be spread to that time, only the Chen Wen family still knows."

Hearing my question, Yang Ji'an was silent for a while and said: "After the liberation, Chen Wen's land was divided. Later, during the Cultural Revolution, he was fought once and died in the bullpen. His son was unbearably humiliated. He committed suicide by hanging himself at home, and then Chen Wen's family left behind his wife and Chen Wen's sister."

"Sister Chen Wen has never been married, and it is impossible for Chen Wen's daughter-in-law to remarry, and she died a few years later."

Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning and said, "So, Chen Jungui's descendants, except for the two older brothers of Chen Wen who escaped from the village group, are no longer there?"

Yang Ji'an said: "No, Chen Wen's father also has an older brother, that is, Chen Wen's uncle, who died when he was in his fifties, but left a son who is one year older than Chen Wen, that is, Chen Wen. My cousin, and this cousin of his has a daughter who married me, which means that now my son and granddaughter are descendants of Chen Jungui."

Yang Xiaohui is the descendant of Chen Jungui!

I didn't expect this result. In fact, I should be able to guess some of it. For example, when we entered the village, Yang Xiaohui reminded us not to answer Chen Jungui's question. Since she knew the mystery, then I should have Guessing their family is not easy.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Yang Ji'an said: "Master Shi, in fact, we don't want to hide it from you, but this Chen Jungui is the source of the curse of our Huamu Village. If the villagers know that we are related to Chen Jungui, what will happen to our Yang family? Have a foothold in Huamu Village?"

I can understand Yang Ji'an's concerns, so I said: "Okay, I don't mean anything else, since I know that your family is related to Chen Jungui, I might need your help when dealing with him later. It's better if you don't shirk."

Yang Ji'an said, "As long as I can save this Huamu Village, I, Yang Ji'an, are willing to take this old life."

Yang Ji'an's son, also Yang Xiaohui's father, said: "Dad, what are you talking about, we are the descendants of Chen Jungui, what does it have to do with you, even if we go, it should be me."

I interrupted them and said, "I'm just asking you to help, not to kill you. Okay, let's go here today, rest early, and we'll explore your village again after dawn tomorrow morning. Let's see if we can find any more clues."

When I went back to sleep, Yang Xiaohui stopped me in the yard. I asked her what she was doing, and she said to me heavily: "Shi Yong, thank you."

I waved my hand and said, "Thank you for what I'm doing. This is what I should do. Who made you my apprentice?"

When I returned to my room with Wang Junhui, I found that he hadn't slept yet, and when he saw me coming in, he said: "Shi Yong, I'm sorry today, I'm too eager for quick success, if we join hands to deal with that old man, Even if we can't get rid of it today, we can definitely escape..."

I was used to being run by Wang Junhui, but he suddenly apologized to me, but I felt a little unaccustomed to it, so I said: "Okay, you are my partner, I didn't stop you when you did that, and I also have the responsibility. The battle plan should have been drawn up by me."

After saying this, the two of us fell into silence. After I washed and changed into dry clothes, Wang Junhui said to me again: "Shi Yong, is the trick you used today a unique secret technique of your sect? The old man seems to be very afraid, it dares to pick up my dragon thunder, but it doesn't dare to pick up your Taoism, I have to say, you are indeed much more capable than me."

I was a little embarrassed to be praised by Wang Junhui and said, "You don't have to be discouraged, I also have many limitations in this matter..."

Then I told Wang Junhui the limit on the number of times I could use my Mountain Spear Secret Technique, and then I summed it up: "That is to say, I only have six chances to attack every day. If I fail six times, then I will be blinded. Now, unlike your dragon thunder, you can summon nine paths."

Wang Junhui was a little depressed and said: "Oh, it's all my fault for not being good at learning. These nine dragon thunders, in fact, there is a 'suffix' spell after each dragon thunder. Unfortunately, I have only practiced the eighth and ninth until today. Dao Longlei's suffix spells, the others I can only simply summon, if I can use all the suffix spells, then I will definitely defeat the old man!"

Deep down, Wang Junhui is still unwilling to admit defeat, but maybe he is right. I have also seen the last two suffixed Long Lei. It is indeed much stronger than the previous seven, but I still feel that even if it is both. With the addition of the suffix, it would be a bit mysterious to defeat the old man.

We chatted for a while, and I asked Wang Junhui why he was obsessed with my position. He was silent for a while and then asked me: "Shi Yong, do you know how much power you think you have in your position?"

I really can't feel this, because since Master Liu took me to this position, Wang Junhui is the only one of my subordinates, plus Ma Suyan who passed the news to me, there are only three of us in total, what rights do I have

Seeing my confused face, Wang Junhui suddenly smiled and said, "Could it be that your foster father never told you?"

I shook my head and said, "Don't give a shit, I really don't know."

Wang Junhui said: "You are the top person in charge of our organization in the provincial capital, which means that in the entire province, all the cultivators or sects in our organization must obey your dispatch, and you still have the right to apply for military service. , the assistance of the police, do you understand what I said?"

I was still a little confused and said: "There are those cultivators and sects in the whole province, I have never heard of them, how to deploy them?"

Wang Junhui looked at me like a fool and said, "You can apply for the organization to give you your information and contact information. You have so much power in your hands, but you don't know how to use it, and your foster father Liu Tianshi , took you to this position, but didn't tell you this, and I don't know what he thought."

What would Master Liu think? Mostly because he was afraid that I would be deceived by those so-called rights, thus delaying the cultivation of the Dao. He let me find out for myself, but did not choose to tell me. Mostly it was a test for me.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Wang Junhui said: "We Kunlun and several other sects compete for the position of the top person in charge of each province every year. The more positions we get, the more rights that sect has in the organization. Big, the more resources that can be mobilized, both individuals and sects have great development, and I was originally arranged by our Kunlun to compete for the highest position here, but unexpectedly killed you Cheng Yaojin halfway, If I can't take your place in a short time, I..."

Having said this, Wang Junhui suddenly stopped and changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the old man, this is what we should discuss back then!"

There must be something unspeakable in Wang Junhui's heart, and I can see from his expression that he is fighting for this position with me, not his original intention, but for some compelling reasons that cannot be told to me.

At that time, I was in Huamu Village trying to solve the problem of the old man. I never imagined that one day I would follow Wang Junhui, because he had no choice but to cause trouble in Kunlun...
