Listening to his story getting more and more suspenseful, I felt anxious in my heart. This time it was my turn to grab his hand and ask: "You said that my family is a leader of a well-known and upright family, so why did my family end up hiding in the deep mountains and remain anonymous?"
"This... I really can't tell you this clearly, because..."
The shopkeeper was very concerned about my question. He shook his head and explained: "Because... I don't know why your grandma didn't tell your family's glorious past, but you only need to know that your family founded the sect under the leadership of your grandfather.
It would be great if you become a decent leader through the 'Yuan Sect Xuanmen'. As for the rest of the story, I think it would be more appropriate for your grandma to tell it."
The shopkeeper gently pushed my hand away and put the sun and moon wheel into my hand: "This thing has witnessed the glorious past of your family. You have to keep it well and don't let it fall into the hands of bad people, otherwise it will be really ruined."
It has destroyed the majesty of your family."
Hearing him tell such a story, I couldn't help but hold the sun and moon wheel tightly, just like holding a large stack of real estate certificates, gently wrap it in black cloth and put it into the package.
After putting the things away, I asked the shopkeeper: "Since you won't tell me my family's story, then tell me what this 'Blood Gu Clan' is."
"This... okay."
The shopkeeper sighed softly, slowly opened the ancient white book, and read the words above: "The ancient description of the 'Blood Gu Clan' has this sentence: raising poisons to tame people, refining corpses to drive away ghosts, and catching souls.
Becoming a demon, cultivating bloodthirsty demons is called 'Blood Gu', also known as the living dead, which refers to the dangerous race lingering on the edge of hell."
Hearing this description, I couldn't help but swallow. Although this introduction is short, its meaning is clear at a glance. The "Blood Gu Clan" may not be a group that dares to do any bad things, but at least they are dangerous.
"You just said that they are the leaders of evil factions active in the dark world?"
I took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "Moreover, do they have any relationship or grudge with the Yuan family, which is an upright leader?"
"What I just said should be added with the word 'once', which means that both the Yuan family and the 'Blood Gu Clan' were once the leaders or handlers of both the decent and evil factions."
There were some wrinkles appearing in the corners of the shopkeeper's eyes. Judging from his appearance, he must have experienced many indelible past events.
I frowned slightly and nodded repeatedly: "So you mean to say that the Yuan family and the Blood Gu clan have declined?"
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement and saw him turn over a page of runes and continue: "Back then, your grandfather took your father and a group of Yuan family exorcists to conquer the unscrupulous Blood Gu tribe, and they fought in the misty mountains.
After three days and three nights, only a few members of the Blood Gu clan escaped, and only your grandfather and a few veterans who were severely injured returned from the Yuan family. Almost all the armies of both sides were wiped out. They have since fallen in their respective fields, and their leadership status has not been the same.
Exist again.”
"It turns out there is such a story. I never thought my family had such a righteous past!"
When I heard the shopkeeper's narration, I almost didn't believe my own ears, but there was nothing artificial or false about the shopkeeper's words, which convinced me that my family indeed had such a glorious past!
Jianxing couldn't help but give me a thumbs up: "Li Yang, after you turned out to be a great man, I, Jianxing, have made you a good friend! I saw your grandma's calculations that day and I guessed that you are not ordinary people."
Common people, but I didn’t expect that your family is so amazing! I admire you, I admire you!”
I smiled bitterly and waved my hand: "These are the past of my ancestors, but my generation seems to have done nothing, and my impression of my parents is extremely vague...I can't even remember what they looked like.
"
At this point, I don't know whether it was because I was excited or sad, or a combination of both, but my eyes became hot and I shed uncontrollable tears.
Seeing me shed tears, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Your family has a natural mission. Your parents and ancestors are all righteous people. Conquering demons is more important to them than life.
I believe you will understand in the future."
I sighed softly, wiped away my tears with my sleeves, and whispered: "My grandma said that my grandpa disappeared in search of a lost magic weapon. Do you know what this is about?"
The shopkeeper nodded, as if recalling the past, his eyes were alternately happy and sad, which was extremely intriguing. He coughed dryly and walked out of his memories.
He said: "Your grandfather saved my master and I who were still studying martial arts when I was trapped by the night demon. Not only that, he also sent a letter for us and informed the exorcists gathered at Baigui Teahouse with important information.
He avoided catastrophe. Later, he returned to Baigui Tea House in order to find the magic weapon lost in the war, and it was at that time that I saw the sun and moon wheel in your hand."
"My grandfather saved you? And also saved the entire Baigui Tea House?"
I couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of kindness is this? But there are so many people in Baigui Teahouse, who can bring them to disaster?
The shopkeeper seemed to have noticed my doubts, and he said in a low voice: "At that time, the national destiny was in a rough state, and we were in an era when many things were being defeated. Do you understand what I said?"
"It turns out it was that era..."
After listening to his words, I suddenly understood why he said that our family owes a lot to Baigui Teahouse.
"The Baigui Teahouse has a long history. It was originally a teahouse to provide a convenient place for people traveling in the rivers and lakes. The most frequent people were exorcists. As time went by, many exorcists took root in the Baigui Teahouse and made this place a convenient place.
I regard it as my own home, and Baigui Teahouse has become an invisible force of justice after the Yuan sect."
The shopkeeper gave a wry smile and continued: "Your grandfather told you back then that no one can interfere with the grudges between the Yuan Sect Xuanmen and the Blood Gu Clan, so our Baigui Tea House cannot interfere in this matter, but your Yuan family has been kind to us.
It's as heavy as a mountain. Your grandma personally asked us to take over everything. We must take this matter down."
After listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, I finally understood the general outline of the matter. Looking at the portraits of ancient people from various dynasties and generations in the inner hall, a belief of admiration and respect arose spontaneously from the bottom of my heart. I must say that the Yuan family stood on the right side.
The power of the spotlight, then Baigui Tea House is the mysterious sharp knife hidden in the dark to maintain peace.
The head shopkeeper chanted: "This matter is of great importance. You two are still young, so you must not tell this matter, otherwise you will be killed."
Hearing what he said, Jianxing couldn't help but be startled: "If you say it, you can get yourself killed? Isn't this too exaggerated?"
