BXBX NOVEL Chapter 413: antecedent
However, Shen Mingjiao couldn't take care of her fear at all at this time, listening to the old man's crazily muttering, she froze completely.
She tried hard to tell herself that the other party was just talking nonsense, how could she be a great wizard with her parents and family! Perhaps it was because she had seen too many unreasonable things during this period of time, which made her hesitate again.
The wrist was held by someone, and a cool voice sounded in the ear: "Don't believe him, he must have lied to you."
Shen Mingjiao collected herself and forced herself to calm down. No matter what the other party said was true or false, she shouldn't be entangled at this moment.
The purpose of their coming here is to ask about those stones, and now is the best opportunity.
She coughed lightly and nodded coldly: "That's right, you guys resurrected me."
When the old man heard this, he was so excited that he burst into tears:
"I just knew... I just knew... It's meaningful for our whole family to stick to it for so many years..."
Obviously, no matter what he said is true or not, his sanity is not very clear.
Shen Mingjiao continued to ask in a cold voice: "How did you become like this, what happened all these years without me?"
Seeing that the old man was talking in a topsy-turvy manner, Shen Mingjiao gritted her teeth and used hypnosis to help the old man stabilize his mind.
She rubbed her forehead in pain, feeling overdrawn is really uncomfortable!
Fortunately, the old man's sanity was finally cleared up a lot. After this incident, he became more and more sure that Shen Mingjiao was the revived great wizard. Dragging the iron chain, he wanted to stand up straight and salute Shen Mingjiao.
Shen Mingjiao raised her hand lightly, "No need to salute, answer my question just now, why are you locked up here?"
The old man gritted his teeth and said, "It's the old man's own fault, and he shouldn't have brought Qingyao back into the clan.
According to the records on the bamboo slips, since the news that you were beheaded by the Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou, the ancestors of our clan who were in power at that time have always wanted to avenge you. Unfortunately, our Miao people are too weak to compete with the whole world.
Later, the ancestors found a secret method somewhere, saying that as long as you find a girl who is naturally good at Gu, just like you back then, and put it in your birthplace, you will come back to life through the girl's body.
But you also know that the mountain where you were born is the realm of the gods, and the aura is too overbearing. As long as ordinary people get close, they will be crushed by those rocks and die. All the girls who found them died before they survived for a quarter of an hour. . "
Shen Mingjiao didn't quite understand the last paragraph. But now in the eyes of the old man, she is an unattainable great wizard of their clan, so naturally she can't ask questions directly.
So she asked eagerly from the perspective of character design: "How is that mountain now?"
The old man didn't dare to look at her, and heaved a long sigh: "Not long after that, a strong earthquake and landslide occurred in the area of Yunnan. caves, and some rocks,
Over the years, the strength of those rocks gradually weakened. Now it is only enough for ordinary people to be insane.
But the family has never given up on resurrecting you. I don’t know how many generations of ancestors came up with the method. Raise a girl who is good at Gu and born in a cloudy time until she is eighteen years old, and then lock the girl in a cave as a container for your resurrection for you to choose. Unfortunately, no one survived for two hours, and they all died of madness. "
Shen Mingjiao probably understood, this is similar to what Cui Lingling investigated before.
No matter how disregarding human life she felt in her heart at this time, she couldn't show it on the face, and she still looked at the old man with a cold expression, leading him to continue talking,
"After so many years, from generation to generation, just when we are almost desperate,
I went out to buy from the clan once. A baby girl was born by accident. "
Having said this, he looked at Shen Mingjiao hesitantly.
Shen Mingjiao still looked cold: "Speak."
"I accidentally learned that the baby girl might be your descendant, and a bold idea came to my mind. I brought the baby girl back to the clan, named it Qingyao, and let people raise it carefully.
Qing Yao has been intelligent since she was a child, especially when it comes to voodoo, she is a once-in-a-century genius. And when she was ten years old, she accidentally saw a broken book you left behind. I learned to hypnotize myself without a teacher. Although the degree of hypnosis is very light, but this also surprised the people in the clan. We all agree that Qingyao is the best container for you to possess. "
The amount of information in this passage is a bit large, that is to say, Qingyao may be the descendant of the great wizard Yaoguang, and Qingyao, like her back then, also naturally became hypnotized after reading a strange book.
According to what the old man said, that book was left by their great wizard, which reminded Shen Mingjiao of the legend about Yao Guang that she told when she first met Wen Heng in Luodu.
At that time, she only thought it was ridiculous, and even Wen Heng didn't believe it, but now, they all match up!
She suppressed the turbulent mood and continued to listen to the other party.
"Until Qingyao was about eighteen years old, she heard about these things from nowhere, and secretly gave sleeping Gu to the master who raised her, and then sneaked out of the village."
Speaking of this, his emotions became agitated, and his breathing became short of breath:
"How could she run? We have cultivated him so hard for so many years, just to use him to revive you..."
Shen Mingjiao said heartily, regardless of other things, in this matter, she felt that what Qingyao did was not wrong.
If someone worked hard to raise her and asked her to die for someone else, she would probably run away too.
Don't mention the life-for-life exchange. You can repay your kindness in other ways, but you only have one life. Why should you get involved in such absurd things?
After a while, with the help of Shen Mingjiao's hypnosis, the old man's mood gradually calmed down.
"The clan sent people to go out to patrol. But that girl has always been smart and capable. Not only did she dispel the Gu worms I put on her, but she also pretended to be someone else and entered the high gate of the capital.
We were going to give up, but half a year later, she fled the capital in a hurry. After several months of desperation, the people in the clan finally captured her. At that time, she was five months pregnant.
I asked her to abort the child, but she refused. In order to be afraid of long nights and dreams, I sent her directly to the cave in the forbidden area. did not expect…"
Shen Mingjiao said heartily, I didn't expect that Qingyao really survived in the end, and even killed you!
She asked directly: "How did Qing Yao make you look like this?"
Bring it up. The old man trembled instinctively:
"The girl hadn't been seen in the cave for several days. We all thought she was dead and failed again. But we didn't want to. Just a few nights later, she quietly came out of the cave and gave food to those who participated in arresting her. All poisoned.
She also…brought those stones out…
She killed a lot of people that night, she locked all the people who were close to her here, planted the most poisonous Gu on us, let us kill each other..."
