surname teacher
Chapter 67 Yao
After Zhang Changsheng lost his temper at him, Qin Gentian, who was in a bad mood and talked to himself for a while, continued to stay in Longchi alone for a long time. In fact, to be honest, the reason why he went out these few days was his own fault. The reason was that it was not convenient, and the reason was that the scales on his face and body started to fall off again that night rashly during the spring tide.
Before he really turned into a dragon, he suffered from severe scale disease for many years, so this also caused many ugly green scars on his face as long as he turned into a human form, although he has noticed it these days After this point, he asked He Bo and Jin Jingzhi to help and started taking medicine, but judging from the current recovery situation, the effect is really not good.
And thinking in this way, Qin Gentiana, who just sat up from the side of the Longchi at this moment, with a smoky blue robe on his shoulders, also looked down at his temporarily unrecognizable face in the pool water, and when he noticed that he had come to deliver medicine to him specially. After Jin Jingzhi was not with a certain little thing, he first squinted his eyes and put down the medicine bowl in his hand noncommittally, then asked a strange question to the handsome young man in scholar's clothes.
"Where did Zhang Changsheng go?"
"...Responding to Mr. Chong's words, little haunted master, little haunted master is reading a book by himself outside right now."
"Really?"
"...Really, really, it's just outside."
Jin Jingzhi, who had the courage to lie to his family, was so bold that his face was almost numb from laughing. Qin Gentiana didn't say much after seeing it, and just stared at the bowl of black lacquer with a blank expression. , looked at the particularly unpalatable medicinal soup for a long time, finally squinted his eyes and nodded, and slowly took a sip.
And the smell of the medicine, which was so bitter that he was dying, finally flowed down his sore throat. After a long time, after drinking the medicine, Qin Gentiana, who continued to lie alone in the cold pool water, whispered towards the boundless night of the world. Here comes a word.
"Where is the sundial that disappeared in the Milky Way that night?"
"Ah, not yet... No matter how the river prawns fished for the sundial in the river, the sundial has never been found, and the foxes have been searching all the way along the fat powder basket of Brother Meilang's hometown these days, but they can't find anything, so my servant Boldly guess, the specific origins of the brothers may not be in the powder basket at all, and I don't know how they knew about those things on the inner wall back then... But the fact that the old villain is still alive has been killed by the two brothers who have been killed today. It has been publicized, but there are still many places in the world that are still not convinced by you and the little king, such as Luofan's side, or Chu Lin's side, what if the escaped Meilang makes trouble? something happened..."
Jin Jingzhi was obviously worried when he said this, Qin Gentian didn't have any obvious mood swings when he heard the words, he just raised his wet fingers to caress the brows covered with green scales, then looked aside and smiled strangely,
"They are not convinced at the moment, but they just look at Zhang Changsheng who is still young, and his words have no weight. If they are really hard bones that can't get sand in their eyes, Zhang Bingzhong, a pig-headed man like him, became the lord of evil back then. Why didn't someone stand up and stop me? After all, it's a group of bullying things, but it's also true, this is a place where anyone who has the ability can speak loudly..."
"Then you say... what should we do next?"
"Let me continue to look for the origins of Hongyue Sundial and Meilang. You don't have to go to the powder basket where you can't find anyone. You can go to Luofan and Chu Lin, who are the most disobedient. When you get there, you will directly say that you deliberately murdered the former ghost." The Meilang who advocated Bingzhong came from these two places. If they give evidence, they don’t need to pay attention. Take this opportunity to deal with a few more. I will reward you when I come back, and the dead body of the right Meilang Let me continue hanging outside the Sui Temple so that some people in the dark can take a good look..."
"Yes... Your servant will go to do it immediately. It's just that you asked us to investigate another matter last time, and news came today..."
"Well, what's going on?"
"The other child of Feng Qing Suizhu may really be alive, and the lady with human teeth who saw a young man throw the little Suizhu into the wall with her own eyes has also found... As for Feng Qing Suizhu The key that I specially gave you when I visited you in Cuiweishan Prison... If our people are not mistaken, it is very likely that the old Dragon King handed it over to him, and asked him to give it to you..."
"..."
Going around, the truth of everything came back to the original agreement between Zulong and himself. Qin Gentiana, who had no expression on his face, twitched his lips for a while, and then said in a strange tone, Everything was calculated by that self-righteous old man all day long.
It can be heard that Qin Gentiana is obviously in a worse mood at the moment, Jin Jingzhi, who knows that he has always hated the ancestor of the Qin family, is also a little afraid to say anything. He spoke slowly,
"Then you go and find out where the so-called 'door' is, and get rid of Old Man Wick and the people who followed Xiaoshi, so you don't have to stare at it anymore."
"Yes... but, Mr. Chong, your heart... you really don't plan to get it back this time? But you didn't ask me to find out that you deliberately harmed Master Jinheng's family and killed him a few days ago. Has the real culprit of the broken leg and disability been handed over to you for your own disposal...why now..."
Jin Jingzhi was taken aback when he heard Qin Geng suddenly say this, and then quickly nodded in response, but he changed his mind when he heard that his own Lord Chong had changed his mind. Still a little surprised, but Qin Gentian, who was leaning on the side of Longchi, just fell silent for a while when he heard him asking this question, and then he closed his gray eyes, pinched his fingertips and said in a cold tone after he had exhausted his last match. slowly replied,
"Even if you find it and send it to him, he won't care about it anymore. Since you have thrown it away... just throw it away forever."
……
Zhang Changsheng's sudden arrival was obviously beyond Jin Heng's expectation. At least before he walked over to open the door for the visitor, he never thought that this strange dog who had been in his house for a while would come to the door on its own initiative.
And the small size of the little white dog basically ruled out the possibility that he was sent by someone who hadn't moved for several days to inquire about news or prepare for retaliation. After a moment of silence, he finally chose to let him in. Seeing the little guy following him into the house very obediently and obediently, Jin Heng thought for a while and slowly squatted down by his own porch, and brought him a pair of Changming's small slippers from the cabinet.
"...You haven't recovered your human form yet?"
"Ah? No, I recovered, I recovered a long time ago, but I was afraid that you might not recognize me again, so I ran out wearing a dog's skin today, hehe..."
Having said that, the little white dog who was still squatting on the ground stepped on Changming's little slippers and turned around in a foolish way. The boy saw that his face was still not very good, so he took the initiative to start talking to him.
"Rabbit... Uncle Rabbit, are you... alone at home today?"
"kindness."
In fact, I don't know what the inexplicable name of Uncle Rabbit is, but it seems that this kid keeps calling himself that. Although Jin Heng sounds a little awkward, he didn't correct him immediately, but Zhang Changsheng looked at the obviously quiet and excessive Then the family asked curiously,
"Hey, brother Changming... isn't he at home today?"
"Going to school."
"What is school? Is it fun?"
"You never went to school?"
"Ah... no, but I seem to have heard someone tell me that I just don't know if it's fun... My cousin used to lock me in a small cage and didn't let me go out casually. I was hungry, and he They didn't even give me food, and let the spider girl pull my ears, and let me bark like a dog in public..."
Talking pitifully about the days when he lived with his cousin, Zhang Changsheng's words made Jin Heng stunned for some reason, and then asked suspiciously,
"What about the rest of your family?"
"They're all gone long ago, except for the villain... Oh, no, Uncle Qin, I don't have any relatives... After so long, only he will remember to come back to me, and everyone else may think that I don't exist anymore Well...and before Uncle Qin rescued me while my cousin was getting married, I had to escape quietly once by myself, but I was caught back soon...For some reason, I was caught by Uncle Qin I brought it to your house, and then I got to know you, brother Changming, and the old grandpa who got angry at you when I came to the house last time... But I didn't say goodbye to you last time, that's all Straight away..."
Zhang Changsheng, who was still very young, spoke in such an innocent tone that he didn't seem to think that some of the words in his mouth were a bit too sad for a child, but when Jin Heng heard him say that, he suddenly wrinkled in a weird way. eyebrow.
Unconsciously, I connected many previous things in my heart, and because of Zhang Changsheng's words just now, I completely understood his true identity, and also understood why Qin Gentian made a big fuss about Zhang Bingzhong's wedding in the first place, and why he went to the dog alley to seek revenge. After a while, Heng gave a soft acknowledgment and stroked the child's head in a slightly reassuring manner.
"If you want to come again in the future, you can come anytime. Jin Changming is usually at home on weekends."
This sentence itself has no special ups and downs, but it pokes Zhang Changsheng's heart more than any other words in the world. At least in his view, who has no family to love him since he was a child, the honest, kind and kind Uncle Rabbit can treat such an unknown person like himself. Xiao Xiechong's words like this were enough to make him feel satisfied and happy.
And thinking like this, Zhang Changsheng, who was a little bit amused by Jin Heng's loving touch just now, just laughed, and then followed Jin Heng all the way into the living room like a sticky little tail, and was greeted briefly. After a while, he squatted on the sofa very obediently and began to watch his favorite cartoon.
After watching Jin Heng turn around and go into the kitchen to pour juice for himself, Zhang Changsheng found that he seemed to have been coughing softly since just now, and his face was not very good.
Unable to hold back, he poked his head out of the sofa and stared at Jin Heng for a while, the little white dog who probably understood the impact of illness on the mortal body only whispered worriedly.
"Uncle Rabbit, are you sick?"
"...Well, I have a cold."
He himself didn't really want to talk about this kind of topic with the child, but seeing him ask so anxiously, Jin Heng, whose thin and pale cheeks were full of sickness, still answered him patiently with a rare tone of frowning.
And when he heard his words, Zhang Changsheng, who was startled, chanted a few times in succession, uncle, have you taken your medicine? He frowned and muttered to himself in a troubled voice,
"Hey, why did you and Uncle Qin suddenly become like this? For the past two days, he stayed in Chishuilongchi without moving from morning to night and didn't go anywhere..."
"..."
Because Zhang Changsheng muttered in a low voice, he paused inexplicably. Jin Heng, who was pouring milk for him in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up, frowned and stared at the cup in front of him for a long time without saying a word, which made Zhang Changsheng, who was just talking casually, follow suit. Suddenly I became a little nervous, wondering if I had said something wrong.
And after four or five seconds passed in this suffocating and terrifying atmosphere, Jin Heng's voice, which still sounded cold but obviously different from before, slowly sounded from inside.
"……What's up with him?"
"what?"
"... Where is he not feeling well?"
He was taken aback when he heard Jin Heng asking him so nonchalantly, but soon Zhang Changsheng also realized that Jin Heng was asking himself about Qin Gentiana, and originally came here today to inquire about why the two of them quarreled. The master thought about it, and in the end he took the initiative to sell out his villainous uncle who had been awkward for most of his life.
"I, I don't know, he never told us about this, but when I went to him during the day, I saw those shiny scales and didn't know why they fell off... Maybe it's because of that look It’s really not good-looking, but it’s been the same for the past two days... In fact, he has always hated letting others see his prototype, because he felt that his horns were broken after being struck by lightning and it was ugly or something... "
When Zhang Changsheng said this, Jin Heng unconsciously remembered the strange scene where he accidentally broke through the gauze tent that night, and he couldn't even restore the prototype, and even got angry at himself for no reason, but he unconsciously noticed the last sentence of the child, Jin Heng Heng first looked at the child with some doubts, and then couldn't help asking,
"...the horn that was broken by lightning?"
"Yeah, that's what I heard from the doctor's grandfather when he chatted with him last time. He definitely doesn't want to tell anyone. When he was young, he was punished by the Dragon King grandfather for doing something wrong. A very high place was struck down by lightning, and the two horns on his head were broken. Grandpa Dragon King said to him that a person like him is not worthy to be a descendant of a dragon, and he can only be a snake in the swamp all his life. At that time, he completely woke up, and only when he knew he was wrong would he be given a chance to start all over again..."
Zhang Changsheng's murmured words changed the eyes of Jin Heng, who lowered his head. In fact, he hadn't particularly sorted out the relationship between the few things that happened more than ten years ago before that.
But at this moment, following the key clue that Gentiana Qin had broken its horns because of the thunder calamity, Jin Heng unconsciously recalled what Liao Feiyun once told him about a centenarian in Yangchuan City who witnessed a long insect being struck down by lightning more than ten years ago. The incident and the deal about the heart mentioned by Old Man Wick, and Jin Heng, who has finally begun to understand what a certain person did more than ten years ago and what punishment he received, is also inexplicably silent. Afterwards, he suddenly frowned and said in a matter-of-fact way,
"...If he really did something wrong at that time, Zulong would punish him because of the responsibilities of the ancestors of each family. If the debts owed by the descendants are not handled properly, the innocent will be affected. Right and wrong cause and effect should be like this .”
"Yes, yes... In fact, he himself often gives up on himself now and says that he deserved what he deserved back then, but to be honest with you, Uncle Rabbit, although he is really a bit bad sometimes... but sometimes he is not so bad Lah... That's right, it's such a strange person... This is what my father told me..."
"Your father?"
"My father's name is Zhang Fengqing! Uncle Rabbit, have you heard of his name!"
"The former haunted lord?"
"Yes, yes, that's him haha. My father and this villain have known each other since we were young. My father said that he is really coquettish and difficult to coax. First lose your temper and drive away others, and then ask others to keep accommodating him..."
Zhang Changsheng's childish words clearly summed up someone's terrible, extreme, difficult and neurotic true character to a certain extent. Jin Heng, who was deeply sympathetic to his miserable father who was also tortured by Qin Gentiana, heard this. He didn't say much, just listened to the child talking to himself about Qin Gentiana's past in silence.
"My father said that he had a bad temper when he was a child. Whenever others said he was not good-looking, he would get angry and throw things, just like a little girl."
"..."
"Hey, doesn't it sound amazing? I didn't believe it at first! My father said that he suffered a lot because of the birthmarks on his face and body when he was a child. He treats him like a monster, always locks him in the room, beats him and scolds him... But don't tell him I told you, Uncle Rabbit, otherwise he will definitely skin me off when he gets angry... "
"...Well, I won't tell him."
Seeing that Zhang Changsheng said the consequences of the matter were so serious and terrible, his uncle Rabbit also nodded with a complicated expression, and then heard the child accidentally talk about the time when someone was busy looking for Brother Meilang and the whereabouts of the missing sundial these days. , Jin Heng, who has never taken the initiative to express any opinions, paid attention to a few words before suddenly saying in a cold tone,
"...The Zuo Meilang who took away the sundial is definitely not dead yet."
"Hey, Uncle Rabbit, how do you know?"
"The Tianhe River is the legendary river that brought life to the beginning. Even if a person really sank to the bottom at that time, he would not be drowned. At most... he would have a cold. He must have noticed this himself, otherwise now I won’t be so anxious to find people out and exterminate them.”
Having said that, he knew this very well that day, but his uncle, who came up to save someone who unfortunately caught a cold, kept silent, and Zhang Changsheng, who could see that the two were obviously still angry and awkward, didn't say much after that.
It's just obvious that the many problems between the two of them because of their respective special identities rashly exposed before can't be easily eliminated by a child with a few words. Jin Heng also needs more time to deal with it. Legacy issues left after the incident.
So an hour later, when the little guy in the living room who didn't know why today came over quietly by himself, he checked the time and said that he was going back to the ghost world.
Jin Heng, who was planning to go out before but was delayed a lot of time, nodded and sent him to the door. After thinking for a while, he finally couldn't hold back and bent down to the little guy, telling him something a little bit unnatural in a rather unnatural tone. special mission.
"After going back today, take Danpi and Radix Paeoniae Rubra, fry two liang each to get out the dregs, and let people watch him drink it up every day. After four or five days, the symptoms of scales on his body will improve. If he feels bitter If he refuses to drink, ask the people around him to put more hawthorn in it, and if he asks you how you know it, don’t tell him that I told you, did you hear?”
"Oh... well... then can I say that Uncle Rabbit told me?"
"What's the difference between that and what I just said?"
"He calls you Jin Heng, but I call you Uncle Rabbit, it must be different..."
"...No matter what my name is, don't tell him that I told you, that's it, understand?"
"Oh... oh... okay..."
Although I don't really understand that Uncle Rabbit is clearly worried about his bad uncle, why he must let himself deliberately lie to him, but after our little evil master went back alone that night, he still fulfilled his duty to Rabbit very seriously. Uncle's promise.
So that night, His Royal Highness, who was still staying by the Longchi to heal his wounds and was not in the mood to go anywhere for the time being, also received the small bowl of soup that Jin Heng specially ordered. Soup.
As for whether Qin Gentiana could see that it was sent by Jin Heng after that, and whether he would have any specific thoughts in his heart after seeing it, it was late at night and he hadn't slept yet, but he was busy in the study alone. Jin Heng must not know about one thing, and all his attention is now focused on the Sanmando Bhatra Sutra spread out from the middle in front of him.
……
"Forget it, for the sake of helping me this time, it's not hard for you... This is the 'door' that your sister left here at the beginning. She didn't tell me how to get in. So I haven't really opened it for so many years, but what she said to me at the time was - this door should only be the first beginning of the 'bloodline'..."
"The first start of 'Bloodline'?"
"Well, according to my speculation over the years... I think the 'door' I'm giving you now should be just a simple entrance. When you try to walk in and open the first 'door', you need to find a Take the 'port key', and after you actually enter the first 'door' and find what your sister put inside, you need to find the second 'port key' to open the next second door. Road 'door'..."
"..."
"But how many 'doors' are there, and how many 'bloodlines' that may have disappeared or still exist, to be honest, I don't know. The special connection between bloodlines is the same, which one of them is connected to which one is only waiting for you to discover slowly, and what you have to do now is to find the door that opens the first outermost "door" as soon as possible Key', I can't help you with the rest, by the way, there is a gatekeeper elephant with a mental problem, who barks strangely when the weather is bad, and sometimes deliberately hides from people, you ask for more Fu..."
The words that Xiao Wuyun handed over this special 'door' to himself a few days ago seemed to linger in his ears. Jin Heng, who was sitting in the study with a cold expression, thought about it like this, and paused for a while. I took a closer look at the Sanmandobada scriptures that I had in my hand.
As far as the eye can see, most of the books are in Sanskrit that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but fortunately Jin Heng usually reads some of these books, so there is not much difficulty in understanding when flipping through them, but seeing that the book is actually It also mentioned the legendary eight surnames in ancient times, namely Ji, Jiang, Si, Ying, 妘, 妫, 姞, Yao eight surnames, Jin Heng was a little surprised for a while.
And related to the fact that Buddhism was once popular in the Tang Dynasty, there is even a saying that Master Xuanzang went to Tianzhu to learn scriptures. It is not impossible that a certain alchemist who originated as a surname teacher hid some special things in a certain Buddhist scriptures and then inherited them from Jin Shu. , Jin Heng first put his inexplicably cold eyes on it and looked at a few pages in a very quiet manner, and then swiped the ink pen in his hand like this.
"babble----"
The white elephant, who was hiding from him on purpose before, neighed furiously at Jin Heng outside the door because the book was defiled, and seeing the opportunity, he threw the copper coin in his hand upwards, and it turned into a cloud in an instant. When the glowing white shadow entered the 'door', Jin opened his light-colored eyes——
He found that he was already standing in front of the entrance of a gate that was hanging in the air and exuding white mist, and in front of him was a giant white elephant dutifully guarding the gate as he had seen before, occupying almost all his vision.
"Who is here?! Tell me your name!!"
"Jin Heng."
It is also the first time to really enter the 'gate' between the family names. Standing on the clouds, Jin Heng looked around blankly, and then he was a little surprised to find that there is no other color except white. special space.
Because apart from the white elephant in front of me, the murals on both sides of the door are also pure white, except for the relief portraits of various white animals, there are white water vapor like clouds.
However, this white elephant seemed to be very defensive against all outside intruders. First, it bent down and took a look at Jin Heng's dyed black hair, and then said in a quite angry tone,
"What kind of surname is Jin, surnamed pig, or surnamed dog! Anyone with a surname other than mine is absolutely not allowed to enter without authorization! Otherwise, you will fall into Abi Hell forever!!! Do you hear me!! Get out of the middle of the door!"
The arrogant and rude words of the gatekeeper made Jin Heng look up and look at him with a cold expression. He was still arrogant, but the mighty white elephant turned a blind eye when he saw it. He neighed into the sky and called out a large snow-white sparrow behind the cloud. Bird Xiang came in alone, looking at the frail and thin Jin Heng, he rushed towards him fiercely.
Seeing this, Jin Heng, who was still standing with his hands behind his back, quickly pulled out a piece of Huang's surname book from his sleeve, and in an instant, the fire ignited in his hand drove all the birds back, and engraved In the golden-red flame imprinted in Sanskrit, his true face with white hair and white eyes was revealed.
This bizarre scene frightened the angry white elephant into a dumbfounded place on the spot. After all, when he saw the skinny kid keep silent, he thought it was a dumb guy who came from somewhere to make trouble.
And because of Jin Heng's special appearance, he fell silent involuntarily, and began to carefully recall in his mind what was so great about Jin Heng who dared to stare at him so boldly. The white elephant, whose world and earth were broken, suddenly came back to his senses and murmured in shock,
"You...you are a teacher...you are a teacher, right!!??"
For a moment, I didn't know how to respond to the horrible eyes of this strange elephant who was so excited that he was about to cry. He thought that he should fight to achieve his goal, but now Jin Heng with a weird expression took a long time Without embarrassment, he withdrew his hand.
But in this particularly weird and depressing atmosphere, the originally ferocious white elephant sobbed on its own, and then began to cry loudly to Jin Heng, who was only the size of his own toe in front of him,
"Master surnamed, you...you...you are here. I have been waiting for you here for many years. If you don't come again! I almost have no motivation to live. Don't you know that the gatekeeper How hard is the job... Not only do you have to be exposed to the wind and the sun, but you also have to squat here alone every day. To put it nicely, it is a gatekeeper fetish, but to put it badly, it is a security guard who guards the gate... …Those old bastards in there look down on me, but what can I do, if there is a way to find a good job at home, who would come to the gate at the beginning... woo woo..."
Jin Heng: "..."
Hearing the increasingly frightening cries of the elephant that even the security guards knew, Jin Heng didn't know how to answer him for a while, so he could only listen silently, nodding his head from time to time to express that he would Listen, the gatekeeper white elephant cried sadly and depressedly for a while, then wiped the tears from his eyes with his nose and slowly stood up and said,
"Hey, I'm not talking nonsense. I've been waiting for you here for so long. Let's get down to business first... By the way, did you bring the key to the first door today?"
He paused when he heard Bai Xiang ask this question, Jin Heng frowned, thought for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth, no, I don't have a door key, and when Jin Heng said that he didn't have a door key The key, the white elephant who was going to let him in was also a little dumbfounded, and whispered to himself with a puzzled face,
"This...it's impossible. When the ancestor of the Qin family went in, he said that when you reappeared here, you would definitely bring the door key in your hand to open the door... You didn't give the door key carelessly. lost?"
"..."
I didn't expect to hear Zulong's name from Baixiang's mouth. Jin Heng, who had always had many doubts about this ancestor of the Qin family who had been going through the whole thing, didn't say a word for a while, and looked at it with a frown after a long time. Xiang Baixiang asked again,
"He told you that when I appear here again, I will definitely have a Portkey in my hand?"
"That's right, he said that he had already handed over the door key to someone on purpose, and he also said that you will understand what it means when you come later, oh, that's right... Before the ancestor of the Qin family left, he specially asked me to Let me tell you something."
"...what?"
"The ancestor of the Qin family said, grandson-in-law! Then whoever will make troubles in the future to deceive others and cause trouble will not listen to others, don't coax him, just hit him, anyway, he would rather be stubborn and stubborn than listen to the old man since he was a child... I have already given him the door key as a dowry in advance, this unworthy descendant of my old Qin family, I will leave it to you to discipline me in the future!"
Jin Heng: "…………………"
The author has something to say: ① Setting explanation:
The origin of the bloodlines is like the connection between the doors. The earliest bloodlines are all related, and then they continue to produce different surnames.
②The aunt's portkey first appeared in Chapter 7, and there was a portkey in his little black bag, and the second time it appeared in the conversation between him and Zhang Fengqing.
③Sui, read sui, there is a saying in ancient books, and there is also a saying of pressing money, which refers to the incarnation of all bad things, because the shadows in the wall are all black, so all the corresponding doors are white.
Before he really turned into a dragon, he suffered from severe scale disease for many years, so this also caused many ugly green scars on his face as long as he turned into a human form, although he has noticed it these days After this point, he asked He Bo and Jin Jingzhi to help and started taking medicine, but judging from the current recovery situation, the effect is really not good.
And thinking in this way, Qin Gentiana, who just sat up from the side of the Longchi at this moment, with a smoky blue robe on his shoulders, also looked down at his temporarily unrecognizable face in the pool water, and when he noticed that he had come to deliver medicine to him specially. After Jin Jingzhi was not with a certain little thing, he first squinted his eyes and put down the medicine bowl in his hand noncommittally, then asked a strange question to the handsome young man in scholar's clothes.
"Where did Zhang Changsheng go?"
"...Responding to Mr. Chong's words, little haunted master, little haunted master is reading a book by himself outside right now."
"Really?"
"...Really, really, it's just outside."
Jin Jingzhi, who had the courage to lie to his family, was so bold that his face was almost numb from laughing. Qin Gentiana didn't say much after seeing it, and just stared at the bowl of black lacquer with a blank expression. , looked at the particularly unpalatable medicinal soup for a long time, finally squinted his eyes and nodded, and slowly took a sip.
And the smell of the medicine, which was so bitter that he was dying, finally flowed down his sore throat. After a long time, after drinking the medicine, Qin Gentiana, who continued to lie alone in the cold pool water, whispered towards the boundless night of the world. Here comes a word.
"Where is the sundial that disappeared in the Milky Way that night?"
"Ah, not yet... No matter how the river prawns fished for the sundial in the river, the sundial has never been found, and the foxes have been searching all the way along the fat powder basket of Brother Meilang's hometown these days, but they can't find anything, so my servant Boldly guess, the specific origins of the brothers may not be in the powder basket at all, and I don't know how they knew about those things on the inner wall back then... But the fact that the old villain is still alive has been killed by the two brothers who have been killed today. It has been publicized, but there are still many places in the world that are still not convinced by you and the little king, such as Luofan's side, or Chu Lin's side, what if the escaped Meilang makes trouble? something happened..."
Jin Jingzhi was obviously worried when he said this, Qin Gentian didn't have any obvious mood swings when he heard the words, he just raised his wet fingers to caress the brows covered with green scales, then looked aside and smiled strangely,
"They are not convinced at the moment, but they just look at Zhang Changsheng who is still young, and his words have no weight. If they are really hard bones that can't get sand in their eyes, Zhang Bingzhong, a pig-headed man like him, became the lord of evil back then. Why didn't someone stand up and stop me? After all, it's a group of bullying things, but it's also true, this is a place where anyone who has the ability can speak loudly..."
"Then you say... what should we do next?"
"Let me continue to look for the origins of Hongyue Sundial and Meilang. You don't have to go to the powder basket where you can't find anyone. You can go to Luofan and Chu Lin, who are the most disobedient. When you get there, you will directly say that you deliberately murdered the former ghost." The Meilang who advocated Bingzhong came from these two places. If they give evidence, they don’t need to pay attention. Take this opportunity to deal with a few more. I will reward you when I come back, and the dead body of the right Meilang Let me continue hanging outside the Sui Temple so that some people in the dark can take a good look..."
"Yes... Your servant will go to do it immediately. It's just that you asked us to investigate another matter last time, and news came today..."
"Well, what's going on?"
"The other child of Feng Qing Suizhu may really be alive, and the lady with human teeth who saw a young man throw the little Suizhu into the wall with her own eyes has also found... As for Feng Qing Suizhu The key that I specially gave you when I visited you in Cuiweishan Prison... If our people are not mistaken, it is very likely that the old Dragon King handed it over to him, and asked him to give it to you..."
"..."
Going around, the truth of everything came back to the original agreement between Zulong and himself. Qin Gentiana, who had no expression on his face, twitched his lips for a while, and then said in a strange tone, Everything was calculated by that self-righteous old man all day long.
It can be heard that Qin Gentiana is obviously in a worse mood at the moment, Jin Jingzhi, who knows that he has always hated the ancestor of the Qin family, is also a little afraid to say anything. He spoke slowly,
"Then you go and find out where the so-called 'door' is, and get rid of Old Man Wick and the people who followed Xiaoshi, so you don't have to stare at it anymore."
"Yes... but, Mr. Chong, your heart... you really don't plan to get it back this time? But you didn't ask me to find out that you deliberately harmed Master Jinheng's family and killed him a few days ago. Has the real culprit of the broken leg and disability been handed over to you for your own disposal...why now..."
Jin Jingzhi was taken aback when he heard Qin Geng suddenly say this, and then quickly nodded in response, but he changed his mind when he heard that his own Lord Chong had changed his mind. Still a little surprised, but Qin Gentian, who was leaning on the side of Longchi, just fell silent for a while when he heard him asking this question, and then he closed his gray eyes, pinched his fingertips and said in a cold tone after he had exhausted his last match. slowly replied,
"Even if you find it and send it to him, he won't care about it anymore. Since you have thrown it away... just throw it away forever."
……
Zhang Changsheng's sudden arrival was obviously beyond Jin Heng's expectation. At least before he walked over to open the door for the visitor, he never thought that this strange dog who had been in his house for a while would come to the door on its own initiative.
And the small size of the little white dog basically ruled out the possibility that he was sent by someone who hadn't moved for several days to inquire about news or prepare for retaliation. After a moment of silence, he finally chose to let him in. Seeing the little guy following him into the house very obediently and obediently, Jin Heng thought for a while and slowly squatted down by his own porch, and brought him a pair of Changming's small slippers from the cabinet.
"...You haven't recovered your human form yet?"
"Ah? No, I recovered, I recovered a long time ago, but I was afraid that you might not recognize me again, so I ran out wearing a dog's skin today, hehe..."
Having said that, the little white dog who was still squatting on the ground stepped on Changming's little slippers and turned around in a foolish way. The boy saw that his face was still not very good, so he took the initiative to start talking to him.
"Rabbit... Uncle Rabbit, are you... alone at home today?"
"kindness."
In fact, I don't know what the inexplicable name of Uncle Rabbit is, but it seems that this kid keeps calling himself that. Although Jin Heng sounds a little awkward, he didn't correct him immediately, but Zhang Changsheng looked at the obviously quiet and excessive Then the family asked curiously,
"Hey, brother Changming... isn't he at home today?"
"Going to school."
"What is school? Is it fun?"
"You never went to school?"
"Ah... no, but I seem to have heard someone tell me that I just don't know if it's fun... My cousin used to lock me in a small cage and didn't let me go out casually. I was hungry, and he They didn't even give me food, and let the spider girl pull my ears, and let me bark like a dog in public..."
Talking pitifully about the days when he lived with his cousin, Zhang Changsheng's words made Jin Heng stunned for some reason, and then asked suspiciously,
"What about the rest of your family?"
"They're all gone long ago, except for the villain... Oh, no, Uncle Qin, I don't have any relatives... After so long, only he will remember to come back to me, and everyone else may think that I don't exist anymore Well...and before Uncle Qin rescued me while my cousin was getting married, I had to escape quietly once by myself, but I was caught back soon...For some reason, I was caught by Uncle Qin I brought it to your house, and then I got to know you, brother Changming, and the old grandpa who got angry at you when I came to the house last time... But I didn't say goodbye to you last time, that's all Straight away..."
Zhang Changsheng, who was still very young, spoke in such an innocent tone that he didn't seem to think that some of the words in his mouth were a bit too sad for a child, but when Jin Heng heard him say that, he suddenly wrinkled in a weird way. eyebrow.
Unconsciously, I connected many previous things in my heart, and because of Zhang Changsheng's words just now, I completely understood his true identity, and also understood why Qin Gentian made a big fuss about Zhang Bingzhong's wedding in the first place, and why he went to the dog alley to seek revenge. After a while, Heng gave a soft acknowledgment and stroked the child's head in a slightly reassuring manner.
"If you want to come again in the future, you can come anytime. Jin Changming is usually at home on weekends."
This sentence itself has no special ups and downs, but it pokes Zhang Changsheng's heart more than any other words in the world. At least in his view, who has no family to love him since he was a child, the honest, kind and kind Uncle Rabbit can treat such an unknown person like himself. Xiao Xiechong's words like this were enough to make him feel satisfied and happy.
And thinking like this, Zhang Changsheng, who was a little bit amused by Jin Heng's loving touch just now, just laughed, and then followed Jin Heng all the way into the living room like a sticky little tail, and was greeted briefly. After a while, he squatted on the sofa very obediently and began to watch his favorite cartoon.
After watching Jin Heng turn around and go into the kitchen to pour juice for himself, Zhang Changsheng found that he seemed to have been coughing softly since just now, and his face was not very good.
Unable to hold back, he poked his head out of the sofa and stared at Jin Heng for a while, the little white dog who probably understood the impact of illness on the mortal body only whispered worriedly.
"Uncle Rabbit, are you sick?"
"...Well, I have a cold."
He himself didn't really want to talk about this kind of topic with the child, but seeing him ask so anxiously, Jin Heng, whose thin and pale cheeks were full of sickness, still answered him patiently with a rare tone of frowning.
And when he heard his words, Zhang Changsheng, who was startled, chanted a few times in succession, uncle, have you taken your medicine? He frowned and muttered to himself in a troubled voice,
"Hey, why did you and Uncle Qin suddenly become like this? For the past two days, he stayed in Chishuilongchi without moving from morning to night and didn't go anywhere..."
"..."
Because Zhang Changsheng muttered in a low voice, he paused inexplicably. Jin Heng, who was pouring milk for him in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up, frowned and stared at the cup in front of him for a long time without saying a word, which made Zhang Changsheng, who was just talking casually, follow suit. Suddenly I became a little nervous, wondering if I had said something wrong.
And after four or five seconds passed in this suffocating and terrifying atmosphere, Jin Heng's voice, which still sounded cold but obviously different from before, slowly sounded from inside.
"……What's up with him?"
"what?"
"... Where is he not feeling well?"
He was taken aback when he heard Jin Heng asking him so nonchalantly, but soon Zhang Changsheng also realized that Jin Heng was asking himself about Qin Gentiana, and originally came here today to inquire about why the two of them quarreled. The master thought about it, and in the end he took the initiative to sell out his villainous uncle who had been awkward for most of his life.
"I, I don't know, he never told us about this, but when I went to him during the day, I saw those shiny scales and didn't know why they fell off... Maybe it's because of that look It’s really not good-looking, but it’s been the same for the past two days... In fact, he has always hated letting others see his prototype, because he felt that his horns were broken after being struck by lightning and it was ugly or something... "
When Zhang Changsheng said this, Jin Heng unconsciously remembered the strange scene where he accidentally broke through the gauze tent that night, and he couldn't even restore the prototype, and even got angry at himself for no reason, but he unconsciously noticed the last sentence of the child, Jin Heng Heng first looked at the child with some doubts, and then couldn't help asking,
"...the horn that was broken by lightning?"
"Yeah, that's what I heard from the doctor's grandfather when he chatted with him last time. He definitely doesn't want to tell anyone. When he was young, he was punished by the Dragon King grandfather for doing something wrong. A very high place was struck down by lightning, and the two horns on his head were broken. Grandpa Dragon King said to him that a person like him is not worthy to be a descendant of a dragon, and he can only be a snake in the swamp all his life. At that time, he completely woke up, and only when he knew he was wrong would he be given a chance to start all over again..."
Zhang Changsheng's murmured words changed the eyes of Jin Heng, who lowered his head. In fact, he hadn't particularly sorted out the relationship between the few things that happened more than ten years ago before that.
But at this moment, following the key clue that Gentiana Qin had broken its horns because of the thunder calamity, Jin Heng unconsciously recalled what Liao Feiyun once told him about a centenarian in Yangchuan City who witnessed a long insect being struck down by lightning more than ten years ago. The incident and the deal about the heart mentioned by Old Man Wick, and Jin Heng, who has finally begun to understand what a certain person did more than ten years ago and what punishment he received, is also inexplicably silent. Afterwards, he suddenly frowned and said in a matter-of-fact way,
"...If he really did something wrong at that time, Zulong would punish him because of the responsibilities of the ancestors of each family. If the debts owed by the descendants are not handled properly, the innocent will be affected. Right and wrong cause and effect should be like this .”
"Yes, yes... In fact, he himself often gives up on himself now and says that he deserved what he deserved back then, but to be honest with you, Uncle Rabbit, although he is really a bit bad sometimes... but sometimes he is not so bad Lah... That's right, it's such a strange person... This is what my father told me..."
"Your father?"
"My father's name is Zhang Fengqing! Uncle Rabbit, have you heard of his name!"
"The former haunted lord?"
"Yes, yes, that's him haha. My father and this villain have known each other since we were young. My father said that he is really coquettish and difficult to coax. First lose your temper and drive away others, and then ask others to keep accommodating him..."
Zhang Changsheng's childish words clearly summed up someone's terrible, extreme, difficult and neurotic true character to a certain extent. Jin Heng, who was deeply sympathetic to his miserable father who was also tortured by Qin Gentiana, heard this. He didn't say much, just listened to the child talking to himself about Qin Gentiana's past in silence.
"My father said that he had a bad temper when he was a child. Whenever others said he was not good-looking, he would get angry and throw things, just like a little girl."
"..."
"Hey, doesn't it sound amazing? I didn't believe it at first! My father said that he suffered a lot because of the birthmarks on his face and body when he was a child. He treats him like a monster, always locks him in the room, beats him and scolds him... But don't tell him I told you, Uncle Rabbit, otherwise he will definitely skin me off when he gets angry... "
"...Well, I won't tell him."
Seeing that Zhang Changsheng said the consequences of the matter were so serious and terrible, his uncle Rabbit also nodded with a complicated expression, and then heard the child accidentally talk about the time when someone was busy looking for Brother Meilang and the whereabouts of the missing sundial these days. , Jin Heng, who has never taken the initiative to express any opinions, paid attention to a few words before suddenly saying in a cold tone,
"...The Zuo Meilang who took away the sundial is definitely not dead yet."
"Hey, Uncle Rabbit, how do you know?"
"The Tianhe River is the legendary river that brought life to the beginning. Even if a person really sank to the bottom at that time, he would not be drowned. At most... he would have a cold. He must have noticed this himself, otherwise now I won’t be so anxious to find people out and exterminate them.”
Having said that, he knew this very well that day, but his uncle, who came up to save someone who unfortunately caught a cold, kept silent, and Zhang Changsheng, who could see that the two were obviously still angry and awkward, didn't say much after that.
It's just obvious that the many problems between the two of them because of their respective special identities rashly exposed before can't be easily eliminated by a child with a few words. Jin Heng also needs more time to deal with it. Legacy issues left after the incident.
So an hour later, when the little guy in the living room who didn't know why today came over quietly by himself, he checked the time and said that he was going back to the ghost world.
Jin Heng, who was planning to go out before but was delayed a lot of time, nodded and sent him to the door. After thinking for a while, he finally couldn't hold back and bent down to the little guy, telling him something a little bit unnatural in a rather unnatural tone. special mission.
"After going back today, take Danpi and Radix Paeoniae Rubra, fry two liang each to get out the dregs, and let people watch him drink it up every day. After four or five days, the symptoms of scales on his body will improve. If he feels bitter If he refuses to drink, ask the people around him to put more hawthorn in it, and if he asks you how you know it, don’t tell him that I told you, did you hear?”
"Oh... well... then can I say that Uncle Rabbit told me?"
"What's the difference between that and what I just said?"
"He calls you Jin Heng, but I call you Uncle Rabbit, it must be different..."
"...No matter what my name is, don't tell him that I told you, that's it, understand?"
"Oh... oh... okay..."
Although I don't really understand that Uncle Rabbit is clearly worried about his bad uncle, why he must let himself deliberately lie to him, but after our little evil master went back alone that night, he still fulfilled his duty to Rabbit very seriously. Uncle's promise.
So that night, His Royal Highness, who was still staying by the Longchi to heal his wounds and was not in the mood to go anywhere for the time being, also received the small bowl of soup that Jin Heng specially ordered. Soup.
As for whether Qin Gentiana could see that it was sent by Jin Heng after that, and whether he would have any specific thoughts in his heart after seeing it, it was late at night and he hadn't slept yet, but he was busy in the study alone. Jin Heng must not know about one thing, and all his attention is now focused on the Sanmando Bhatra Sutra spread out from the middle in front of him.
……
"Forget it, for the sake of helping me this time, it's not hard for you... This is the 'door' that your sister left here at the beginning. She didn't tell me how to get in. So I haven't really opened it for so many years, but what she said to me at the time was - this door should only be the first beginning of the 'bloodline'..."
"The first start of 'Bloodline'?"
"Well, according to my speculation over the years... I think the 'door' I'm giving you now should be just a simple entrance. When you try to walk in and open the first 'door', you need to find a Take the 'port key', and after you actually enter the first 'door' and find what your sister put inside, you need to find the second 'port key' to open the next second door. Road 'door'..."
"..."
"But how many 'doors' are there, and how many 'bloodlines' that may have disappeared or still exist, to be honest, I don't know. The special connection between bloodlines is the same, which one of them is connected to which one is only waiting for you to discover slowly, and what you have to do now is to find the door that opens the first outermost "door" as soon as possible Key', I can't help you with the rest, by the way, there is a gatekeeper elephant with a mental problem, who barks strangely when the weather is bad, and sometimes deliberately hides from people, you ask for more Fu..."
The words that Xiao Wuyun handed over this special 'door' to himself a few days ago seemed to linger in his ears. Jin Heng, who was sitting in the study with a cold expression, thought about it like this, and paused for a while. I took a closer look at the Sanmandobada scriptures that I had in my hand.
As far as the eye can see, most of the books are in Sanskrit that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but fortunately Jin Heng usually reads some of these books, so there is not much difficulty in understanding when flipping through them, but seeing that the book is actually It also mentioned the legendary eight surnames in ancient times, namely Ji, Jiang, Si, Ying, 妘, 妫, 姞, Yao eight surnames, Jin Heng was a little surprised for a while.
And related to the fact that Buddhism was once popular in the Tang Dynasty, there is even a saying that Master Xuanzang went to Tianzhu to learn scriptures. It is not impossible that a certain alchemist who originated as a surname teacher hid some special things in a certain Buddhist scriptures and then inherited them from Jin Shu. , Jin Heng first put his inexplicably cold eyes on it and looked at a few pages in a very quiet manner, and then swiped the ink pen in his hand like this.
"babble----"
The white elephant, who was hiding from him on purpose before, neighed furiously at Jin Heng outside the door because the book was defiled, and seeing the opportunity, he threw the copper coin in his hand upwards, and it turned into a cloud in an instant. When the glowing white shadow entered the 'door', Jin opened his light-colored eyes——
He found that he was already standing in front of the entrance of a gate that was hanging in the air and exuding white mist, and in front of him was a giant white elephant dutifully guarding the gate as he had seen before, occupying almost all his vision.
"Who is here?! Tell me your name!!"
"Jin Heng."
It is also the first time to really enter the 'gate' between the family names. Standing on the clouds, Jin Heng looked around blankly, and then he was a little surprised to find that there is no other color except white. special space.
Because apart from the white elephant in front of me, the murals on both sides of the door are also pure white, except for the relief portraits of various white animals, there are white water vapor like clouds.
However, this white elephant seemed to be very defensive against all outside intruders. First, it bent down and took a look at Jin Heng's dyed black hair, and then said in a quite angry tone,
"What kind of surname is Jin, surnamed pig, or surnamed dog! Anyone with a surname other than mine is absolutely not allowed to enter without authorization! Otherwise, you will fall into Abi Hell forever!!! Do you hear me!! Get out of the middle of the door!"
The arrogant and rude words of the gatekeeper made Jin Heng look up and look at him with a cold expression. He was still arrogant, but the mighty white elephant turned a blind eye when he saw it. He neighed into the sky and called out a large snow-white sparrow behind the cloud. Bird Xiang came in alone, looking at the frail and thin Jin Heng, he rushed towards him fiercely.
Seeing this, Jin Heng, who was still standing with his hands behind his back, quickly pulled out a piece of Huang's surname book from his sleeve, and in an instant, the fire ignited in his hand drove all the birds back, and engraved In the golden-red flame imprinted in Sanskrit, his true face with white hair and white eyes was revealed.
This bizarre scene frightened the angry white elephant into a dumbfounded place on the spot. After all, when he saw the skinny kid keep silent, he thought it was a dumb guy who came from somewhere to make trouble.
And because of Jin Heng's special appearance, he fell silent involuntarily, and began to carefully recall in his mind what was so great about Jin Heng who dared to stare at him so boldly. The white elephant, whose world and earth were broken, suddenly came back to his senses and murmured in shock,
"You...you are a teacher...you are a teacher, right!!??"
For a moment, I didn't know how to respond to the horrible eyes of this strange elephant who was so excited that he was about to cry. He thought that he should fight to achieve his goal, but now Jin Heng with a weird expression took a long time Without embarrassment, he withdrew his hand.
But in this particularly weird and depressing atmosphere, the originally ferocious white elephant sobbed on its own, and then began to cry loudly to Jin Heng, who was only the size of his own toe in front of him,
"Master surnamed, you...you...you are here. I have been waiting for you here for many years. If you don't come again! I almost have no motivation to live. Don't you know that the gatekeeper How hard is the job... Not only do you have to be exposed to the wind and the sun, but you also have to squat here alone every day. To put it nicely, it is a gatekeeper fetish, but to put it badly, it is a security guard who guards the gate... …Those old bastards in there look down on me, but what can I do, if there is a way to find a good job at home, who would come to the gate at the beginning... woo woo..."
Jin Heng: "..."
Hearing the increasingly frightening cries of the elephant that even the security guards knew, Jin Heng didn't know how to answer him for a while, so he could only listen silently, nodding his head from time to time to express that he would Listen, the gatekeeper white elephant cried sadly and depressedly for a while, then wiped the tears from his eyes with his nose and slowly stood up and said,
"Hey, I'm not talking nonsense. I've been waiting for you here for so long. Let's get down to business first... By the way, did you bring the key to the first door today?"
He paused when he heard Bai Xiang ask this question, Jin Heng frowned, thought for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth, no, I don't have a door key, and when Jin Heng said that he didn't have a door key The key, the white elephant who was going to let him in was also a little dumbfounded, and whispered to himself with a puzzled face,
"This...it's impossible. When the ancestor of the Qin family went in, he said that when you reappeared here, you would definitely bring the door key in your hand to open the door... You didn't give the door key carelessly. lost?"
"..."
I didn't expect to hear Zulong's name from Baixiang's mouth. Jin Heng, who had always had many doubts about this ancestor of the Qin family who had been going through the whole thing, didn't say a word for a while, and looked at it with a frown after a long time. Xiang Baixiang asked again,
"He told you that when I appear here again, I will definitely have a Portkey in my hand?"
"That's right, he said that he had already handed over the door key to someone on purpose, and he also said that you will understand what it means when you come later, oh, that's right... Before the ancestor of the Qin family left, he specially asked me to Let me tell you something."
"...what?"
"The ancestor of the Qin family said, grandson-in-law! Then whoever will make troubles in the future to deceive others and cause trouble will not listen to others, don't coax him, just hit him, anyway, he would rather be stubborn and stubborn than listen to the old man since he was a child... I have already given him the door key as a dowry in advance, this unworthy descendant of my old Qin family, I will leave it to you to discipline me in the future!"
Jin Heng: "…………………"
The author has something to say: ① Setting explanation:
The origin of the bloodlines is like the connection between the doors. The earliest bloodlines are all related, and then they continue to produce different surnames.
②The aunt's portkey first appeared in Chapter 7, and there was a portkey in his little black bag, and the second time it appeared in the conversation between him and Zhang Fengqing.
③Sui, read sui, there is a saying in ancient books, and there is also a saying of pressing money, which refers to the incarnation of all bad things, because the shadows in the wall are all black, so all the corresponding doors are white.
