Vicious cannon fodder is prohibited for beauties to play

Chapter 374 He is the Cannon Fodder Phoenix Man (14)

After the system made assurances again and again and he cried and begged for forgiveness, Si Cen finally gave in.

It’s a pity that the Rong family did not appear in the original text, so there must be no information about them in the system.

But from a realistic perspective, the system and He Shu did not gain much.

It was as if the Rong family had been completely wiped out from this world.

However, regarding the Tianshi Association, I managed to hear some sporadic rumors, whose authenticity I don't know.

He Shu's eyes sparkled as he spoke, "If the rumors are true to a certain extent, then thirty years ago must have been a time of great prosperity. All branches of the Xuanmen sect were still in their heyday, there were many heavenly masters, and the world was stable. I dare not even think about how happy I would have been if I had caught up with that time."

Unfortunately, He Shu was just a little kid thirty years ago. He lived in a remote mountain area almost isolated from the outside world and had never been exposed to any mysterious arts. Even though there was spiritual energy all around him, he did not know how to absorb and practice it. He only knew to tend to the vegetable garden behind the house with the old monk day after day, trying to find ways to reclaim the wasteland and grow some food to fill their stomachs.

Si Cen pointed his finger and asked, "Did you find out what happened afterwards?"

The excitement on He Shu's face subsided a little, and he said with a bit of solemnity, "Perhaps only those who actually experienced it back then can explain what happened exactly, but in those years, strange phenomena appeared everywhere, not to mention natural disasters, many people died, and supernatural events frequently occurred in various places. Rumor has it that there seems to be a terrible ghost appearing in the area of ​​Yicheng, and it is called a disaster for all the people."

Seeing Si Cen didn't say anything, He Shu could only continue, "Back then, the families in that area either died out or fled for their lives, and it's hard to find anyone who knows the situation. But this place happens to be very close to Yicheng, and there are still some elderly people who remember what happened back then.

I heard from an old man that a terrible earthquake occurred in Yicheng thirty years ago, and the mountains collapsed.

I guess it was probably caused by the battle between the Heavenly Master Association and the evil spirit. Since then, the strange phenomena in various places have disappeared one after another, and gradually everything has calmed down. It was also during that period that the Heavenly Master Association and the several powerful Heavenly Master families at that time all disappeared. Until now, no one has mentioned them, and no one even knows of their existence. "

He Shu felt a little yearning.

What kind of soul-stirring battle was it back then, and what kind of terrifying and horrible evil spirit was it that could cause such a huge phenomenon in heaven and earth, and even directly kill all the Taoist priests of that era.

In fact, ghosts and monsters are also divided into different levels. The one whose birth can cause strange phenomena in heaven and earth, attracting spiritual spirits from all directions, and countless ghosts and monsters coming out to cause chaos as if they were paying homage, is qualified to be called the Ghost King by the people in the Xuanmen.

If such a thing were to appear, all lives would be devastated, and the disasters and chaos in the world would last for at least a hundred years.

However, such an existence is not easy to come by, and it is difficult to find one in thousands of years.

If there really was a Ghost King who appeared in the world thirty years ago, then having sacrificed the entire Xuanmen at that time and even consumed the spiritual energy of the entire world, it would have been an extremely good result to be able to get rid of this Ghost King in the shortest possible time and save the mortals in the world.

Seeing that Si Cen was in a bad mood, He Shu stopped talking about it. He was silent for a moment and said, "I have already informed the benefactor Xia that the ritual is complete. Tonight is the last night. Tomorrow you will be... ahem, carried out and buried."

Si Cen came back to his senses from his contemplation and looked at He Shu with a half-smile, "Monks don't tell lies, Master."

The so-called ritual was completed. It was supposed to be, according to Xia Xiuxiu's idea, to "lift the soul" of her deceased husband, or at least to suppress it.

Obviously Master He Shu didn't do it.

Is it really okay to deceive the donor like this?

He Shu did not look too embarrassed. His old bark face even revealed a bit of mystery. He said slowly, "The donor has karma that has not been resolved. I am not a good monk and cannot understand it. Naturally, I cannot save him. Amitabha..."

At this time, he seemed more profound, just like when he was fooling Xia Xiuxiu.

Si Cen thought he was quite interesting. Sometimes this monk seemed like he was pretending to be mysterious, and sometimes he seemed like he was really mysterious.

Ouch.

It’s none of my business.

"In that case, let's bury her. Come to my grave again in a few days and take the talisman in your hand." Si Cen said.

Now that he knew that Rong Jue's talisman could allow him to travel through time, he would have to discuss it with him after he returned this time.

As for the lifespan of this old bark...

Si Cen hesitated for a moment, but He Shu laughed, "Although you don't want to tell me what effect this spell has on you, it seems to be a good thing, perhaps a very extraordinary thing. I feel very honored to be able to participate in it. As for life and death, it is a road that everyone must go through, so don't mind it."

It's quite free and easy.

Si Cen really didn't mind it anymore.

But before He Shu left, he left a message, "If I am lucky enough not to die after the next ritual, and if I have the chance to see you again, please tell me about that magnificent and high-spirited era..."

He Shu left gracefully.

Si Cen was stunned for a while, then laughed helplessly.

It seems that this half-baked guy is not so half-baked after all.

*

Xia Xiuxiu was probably frightened by Si Cen's appearance before, and she didn't dare to keep vigil alone at night after that. Even though the master said that the ritual had been completed and hinted that her soul should be liberated, she still didn't dare to come.

Si Cen just got some peace and quiet.

I thought this would be his last night alone with the corpse, spending the long night in silence.

Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came and quietly avoided everyone and appeared in Si Cen's funeral hall.

Si Cen didn't feel anything about this person, but as soon as the system prompted him, he became interested.

[Hey, host! It's Xia Xiuxiu's lover, the one who actually killed the original owner, Zhang Shenzhi.]

Si Cen might be a little sensitive about the surname Zhang.

Originally, in this world, among the former Xuanmen, the Zhang family of Xuanmen was an extremely important existence.

So when Si Cen heard this, he looked carefully at the person who came and actually felt that his face was vaguely familiar.

Recalling the Zhang family I met in the timeline thirty years ago, there was a Zhang Zhidao. Although he was an old man with white eyebrows and beard, his skin was actually quite delicate. Without the eyebrows and beard, that face and the face in front of him had a somewhat weird sense of overlap?

As for that rookie Zhang San...he has a small round face, and if there is any similarity, the only thing is probably his eyes.

Si Cen had not seen any other members of the Zhang family, so there were no more references.

However, the person that He Shu picked up later was most likely a crazy old man from the Zhang family... He was less than ten years old when he picked him up, and less than ten years had passed since thirty years ago. It was impossible for Zhang San to have grown into an old man.

So is it possible that what he picked up was Zhang Zhidao?
