It was already the next morning when we left the Death Desert.
The seven remaining shamans saw us off, and the eldest old shaman conducted a divination for us. The results of the divination were beyond our expectations, but after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable.
The old wizard said that winning this bet means we have lost. Losing this bet means we have won.
Hearing this sentence made me confused, always feeling that the old wizard was deceiving us, but Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua looked sad and replied: "Even so, we must try our best to win. As for those who lost, we only
We can leave it to time to judge. Nothing in this world is perfect."
I didn't understand it at the beginning, but it took me a long time to understand what the boss said. Yes, the world is very fair. If you gain something, you will inevitably lose something else.
Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua won the bet, but lost something else very important. But even so, they were still trying their best to win.
Perhaps it had something to do with the old wizard's divination results. After leaving the Ancestral Temple, Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua became much more taciturn. Except for taking turns driving when necessary, they basically just dozed in the back seat.
Affected by this atmosphere, I also spoke a lot less. When we left the Death Desert, the three of us didn't even speak more than ten sentences to each other!
This phenomenon did not ease until we returned to Xilingol League. I don’t know whether the two bosses wanted to do it or were affected by the prosperity of the modern city. The unhappiness and dullness caused by the previous visit to the Ancestral Temple were swept away.
Of the four people, three have been found. The last centenary beggar is still missing from the journey of atonement. There are still six days left before the gate of hell opens. If everything goes well, all the gamblers will be gathered.
, when everyone gathers in Ruoqiang County, they can conduct this gambling game.
But I didn't expect that what happened in Yinchuan would be unforgettable for the rest of my life.
According to the information provided by the boss, this hundred-year-old beggar's name is Quan Zhenxing. When he was young, he was nicknamed Soul Reaper. With his two thunder swords, he was able to achieve quite a lot of killings.
When he was young, it happened to be the darkest era in Chinese history. At that time, the country was in crisis and evil spirits were rampant. Quan Zhenxing resolutely rushed to the battlefield. In that chaotic era, the evil spirits and living people who died at his hands reached a level of horror.
three-digit number.
Although it was a national war, Quan Zhenxing was inevitably affected because he had killed many evildoers. After his achievements, Quan Zhenxing was regarded as a national hero and was worshiped, but others only saw his bright side.
I have never discovered the helplessness and bitterness hidden behind it.
In the early 1970s, Quan Zhenxing was getting old and his vitality was declining sharply. At this time, all the evil spirits and ghosts who were unwilling to die came to his door.
Although Quan Zhenxing was old, his power was still there. Evil spirits and evil spirits did not dare to provoke this old man who was nearly sixty years old, but they set their sights on his descendants.
Since then, Quan Zhenxing's family members have had accidents happen one after another, either being hit by a car when going out, or objects suddenly falling from high altitudes, and even at special times, Quan Zhenxing's grandchildren even inexplicably mutilated themselves at home.
Even though Quan Xing's methods are all-powerful, they are extremely powerful. However, life-threatening ghosts are everywhere. Even if he can protect them for a while, how can he protect them for a lifetime?
After a hundred years, wouldn't those life-seeking ghosts become even more rampant?
Because of this incident, Quan Zhenxing visited many famous exorcists. Later, someone told him that if you want to protect your family, you can only take the road of atonement.
After you leave, those ghosts will always monitor you behind you. If you are sincere, they will naturally choose to forgive you. When there are no more ghosts behind you, it means that your sins will disappear.
Quan Zhenxing thought for a moment and thought that this was indeed the case, so he ignored the dissuasion of his family and resolutely embarked on the road to atonement.
This journey lasts for thirty years.
People who take the road of atonement are not allowed to ride in cars, consume, and have to ask for food and water from others. On the one hand, they want to use the peaceful atmosphere of the people to make up for their sins, and on the other hand, it is also a blessing to themselves.
A training of the mind.
There is another saying that such hard work is actually in the eyes of those innocent souls. If the innocent souls see that this person is sincere from the suffering, they may give up their pursuit of life and hatred.
Quan Zhenxing was nearly seventy years old when he made this decision, and his physical fitness was not as good as before. However, for the future peace of his family, he did not hesitate to travel the world alone.
In the past thirty years, Quan Zhenxing has never had a hot meal or slept in a warm bed. He walked barefoot on the cold ground in winter and braved wind, rain and mud in summer.
He was once on the verge of death from hunger, was once stoned by local urchins as if they were a lunatic, and was almost deceived by a vicious person into using him as a tool to make money.
But Quan Zhenxing persisted every time.
What he did was not for himself, but for his family.
Now that the thirty-year period has expired, all the murders he committed in half his life have been repaid. The centenarian, who has not returned home for thirty years, finally returned to Yinchuan for the first time.
But at this time, Yinchuan had already gone through great changes and was completely different from what it was thirty years ago.
He doesn't even know where his grandson lives anymore.
In the past, a powerful exorcist who killed countless demons was transformed into a ragged old man with gray hair.
It was only in the afternoon when we arrived in Yinchuan City. It had just rained and the sky was clear. The sky was blue and the air was fresh and comfortable. Zhang Wuren used the yin and yang compass to make a positioning, and then went straight to Helan County in Yinchuan.
The more powerful an exorcist is, the stronger his aura is. Generally, around such an exorcist, there will be a subtle change in the yin and yang aura around him.
This change is difficult to detect, but it can be detected with a compass. The place where the yin and yang aura changes is where the exorcist is.
This is also the basis for Zhang Wuren to find Quan Zhenxing.
But after we arrived in Helan County, Zhang Wuren drove straight to Hepingjiayuan Community on the edge of the city. As soon as the car drove into the gate of the community, he saw dozens of men and women in front of him, standing on the roadside watching the excitement.
There were many people upstairs in the surrounding residents who had opened their windows and were looking down, taking videos while watching.
It is people's nature to watch the excitement. With so many residents gathered, it is estimated that the excitement is not small. At that moment, I had an intuition and whispered: "Boss, isn't it related to the senior Quan Zhenxing?"
Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua didn't answer, but squeezed through the crowd and looked forward. This glance didn't matter, the three of us were so shocked that our eyes nearly popped out.
At the door of a unit, an old man with gray hair and beard was kneeling in a daze. The old man's clothes were ragged, his body was dirty, and his toes were exposed from the shoes on his feet.
Even though he looked like he was kneeling, the old man's waist was straight and his head was half-lowered without saying a word, as if he felt guilty.
Zhang Wuren whispered: "Senior Lei Jian!"
Quan Zhenxing's nickname back then was Thunder Sword. It is said that the double swords he used were made of centuries-old lightning-strike wood. The so-called hundred-year lightning-strike wood is actually a tree that has been growing for hundreds of years and was struck by lightning, forming natural thunder patterns.
Quan Zhenxing's thunder sword was formed from iron wood that was struck by lightning. After Quan Zhenxing found it, it was forged into the shape of a wooden sword. Even though it looks like wood, the iron wood itself is tough, and Quan Zhenxing uses
Soaking in a special liquid causes the density to increase dramatically.
Although it is made of wood, it is as hard as steel.
Coupled with the natural thunder patterns on it, it is specially designed to restrain evil ghosts and monsters, and even the roar of thunder can be heard when it is swung. It is with the help of two thunder swords that it has achieved the prestige of the Quanxing Thunder Sword.
In his time, Quan Zhenxing was respectfully called Mr. Lei Jian.
He Zhonghua scolded: "Who dares to let Mr. Lei Jian kneel here? Are you too brave to eat a bear's heart?"
As he spoke, he wanted to walk over and help the old man up. Unexpectedly, He Zhonghua grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, if it wasn't Senior Lei Jian's voluntary choice, who could let him kneel here?"
I was curious, so I grabbed a middle-aged uncle who was watching the fun, handed over a cigarette, and asked: "Uncle, what's going on? Who made such an old man kneel here?"
The uncle was quite talkative. He took the cigarette, put it to his nose and smelled it, and then said, "What a great smoke, huh?"
After a pause, the uncle continued: "I heard that this old man is Quan Fugui's grandfather, who has been missing for thirty years. Hey, he just came back and found his grandson. But Quan Fugui didn't recognize him at all."
I said in surprise: "You don't recognize him? Could it be that Quan Fugui doesn't even recognize his grandfather?"
The uncle explained: "That's not what I mean. Although we haven't seen each other for thirty years, Quan Fugui was not young at that time. How could he not know his grandfather? It's just that he knew him, but he didn't want to recognize him. To be more precise,
He said that he didn’t dare to recognize each other!”
My heart moved. Could it be that the evil spirits provoked by Mr. Lei Jian are still haunting the Quan Fugui family? So that he dare not recognize his grandfather?
But as soon as the idea came up, the uncle sneered at the unit building and said, "Quan Fugui is a loser. He married a mean wife and gave birth to a son who has never known his relatives. His wife said, I don't know where.
There is a bad old man who wants to live in his own house and live in his old age? If Quan Fugui dares to call this old man grandpa, then he should not call her his wife and son!"
"Just last night, Quan Fugui sneaked out to bring some food to the old man, but his wife caught him and beat him severely. Quan Fugui's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he didn't dare to speak. In the end, he even poured the food into the trash can.
He said, even if it is fed to a dog, it cannot be eaten by unscrupulous people."
After hearing this, I instantly became furious. Damn it, does this damn king have any more laws? In order for his grandson to live a stable life, Mr. Lei Jian walked alone on the road of atonement for thirty years! I don’t know.
It took him a lot of suffering to pay off his sins and let the ghosts no longer haunt him.
But now when I came back, I was treated as a beggar by my grandson-in-law, and I didn’t dare to come in!
