Chapter 373 He is the Cannon Fodder Phoenix Man (13)
The monk didn't know why it became like this.
Anyway, the current situation is that he and the evil ghost he wanted to get rid of (but failed to get rid of) are squatting together, studying the talisman placed on the ground.
"Tell me how you got this talisman."
Si Cen could see that this monk was not even half-baked and knew nothing. It was impossible for him to draw such a powerful talisman.
The monk sighed, thinking of what the evil ghost had just said to him, and stopped struggling.
He recounted his life story in detail.
Of course the monk was not called Heshang, but because he was an abandoned baby and the old monk picked him up under a tree by the river, his name was He Shu.
The old monk had not originally planned to let him become a monk. At that time, the economy was bad, natural disasters and man-made tragedies were happening everywhere, and the monk temples had long been empty. The old monk raised him as his son.
Unfortunately, the old monk died before he could raise him.
He Shu was a little boy who grew up in a temple. He didn't know what to do if not become a monk.
Later, they picked up the crazy old man, and the two of them still depended on each other in the dilapidated temple. After a few years, life seemed to be getting better, and the crazy old man died. Later, the half-grown boy He Shu used the skills passed down to him by the crazy old man to make a living and barely managed to get enough food and clothing.
Don't look at him as old as a tree bark now.
In fact, he is not that old, he is only in his thirties.
The reason why he looks so old is because of what Si Cen said before, all the spiritual energy in his body was poured into him by the crazy old man, and he is at best a container, and he uses the spiritual energy little by little. He also learned some mysterious arts by accident, and makes a living by this skill. Every time he uses a mysterious art, it not only consumes his spiritual energy, but also his vitality, so he ages especially fast.
If he had activated the spell again, he would have really died of old age on the spot.
He wasn't really afraid of death.
It's just... Ever since he came into contact with the Xuanmen Dao, He Shu has been stumbling through it all by himself, relying on his half-knowledge. He is actually very obsessed with this Dao. Now, hearing that this evil ghost seems to know a lot about these aspects, he can't help himself.
"Tell me about that crazy old man. You have lived together for a few years. Do you know his background and name?" Si Cen asked.
He Shu recalled, "He was crazy most of the time, and he was very resistant to his past. He got mad when I asked him about these things, but I found some clues in his belongings. His surname should be Zhang, and he might have been quite famous for a while."
张?
Si Cen's eyes moved slightly.
The next moment, He Shu's words shocked him completely.
"The origin of that talisman is that it was made by a person whose surname or given name contains the word 'Rong'. The crazy old man sighed in his notes that the person was amazingly talented. He was so young that he could actually draw such a profound talisman. Because he admired him so much, he shamelessly asked for a talisman..."
戎!
Rong Jue?!
Si Cen's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Could it be that this talisman was sent to him because it came from Rong Jue's hand?
"Isn't this talisman used to exorcise ghosts? It also has the ability to travel through time and space?"
He was talking to himself in a low voice, so He Shu couldn't hear clearly.
He Shu had no idea that Si Cen had traveled through time and space right under his nose because of this talisman, so he couldn't understand what he heard.
After thinking for a while, Si Cen thought that it was probably because the talisman contained too much spiritual power belonging to Rong Jue, and there was a spiritual bond between him and Rong Jue, which led to that result: the huge spiritual power was activated and tore through time and space, bringing him in front of him.
But because he himself is a character in this timeline, he will not be able to exist for long even if he goes to the past timeline. In addition, the original text also set that the soul of the cannon fodder's original owner cannot leave the corpse after death, so he was pulled back.
"What should I do? Does this count as you were born before I was born, and I...eh? Wait, Old He, you haven't heard of the Zhang family, the Tianshi Association, and the Rong family?"
Is Rong Jue still alive at this time?
He Shu, "When I was a child, I lived with my master in a dilapidated temple on the mountain. The farthest place we went was the village at the foot of the mountain. I also lived on the mountain for several years after the crazy old man passed away. I was already quite old when I came down the mountain. Later, I wandered around to make a living. I have seen a lot, but I have never heard of any association or Rong family."
So what happened later that caused these once glorious existences to be destroyed and even their spiritual energy to disappear?
Of course, it is not ruled out that He Shu just happened not to have been to the place where the Rong family was originally located, and did not inquire about these things carefully, so he had never heard of it.
"So, can you help me with something?"
He Shu looked at Si Cen in surprise, his expression hesitated for a moment and then turned serious, "I won't help you get revenge and harm others... The grudges between you and donor Xia..."
"Stop, stop. I don't want to argue with her."
Speaking of which, Xia Xiuxiu killed the original owner, but didn’t the original owner make Xia Xiuxiu suffer?
The original owner even killed Xia Xiuxiu's parents, and ended up being killed by Xia Xiuxiu. Isn't that killing someone to pay for one's life?
Si Cen didn't think he should avenge the original owner.
Hmm...something seems a little wrong.
He has done so many cannon fodder missions, and basically every cannon fodder is not a great villain in nature, and has never done any evil. It can even be said that his end is too miserable, far exceeding the so-called evil he did in his lifetime. In addition, the cannon fodder itself is too unwilling, and awakens through resistance... Then what about the original owner of this cannon fodder?
"So...what do you want me to do?"
He Shu felt that the evil ghost in front of him suddenly became a little eerie, and he was still a little scared.
Don't say he is spineless.
Si Cen was the first ghost he had ever met that he was helpless against even after using all his best skills, and he also knew mysterious arts.
He Shu felt that he was very unfathomable.
But it is strange that such a great man could be killed by just drowning. It always feels a bit weird.
Yes, although Xia Xiuxiu concealed her motive and told the monk nothing, the monk knew the cause of his death from the body when he saw it.
No matter how useless he is, he has spiritual power and has made some progress after decades of experience.
It’s just that there isn’t much spiritual energy in the world for him to cultivate, and he’s aging faster.
What is even more inconsistent is that when he was looking at the evil ghost's soul, he seemed to be covered by fog and could hardly see clearly. As for the cycle of cause and effect, he did see that Xia Xiuxiu killed Si Cen, and finally died because of Si Cen. He told Xia Xiuxiu about this with the intention of persuading her to be good, which might change her deadly situation. However, she would not listen and insisted on getting rid of Si Cen.
Hey……
What's going on!
Si Cen didn't know that the monk, who was already bald, felt that being involved in one mystery after another made him even balder mentally.
He didn't care about other people's troubles. He only cared about how anxious his Rongrong was when she couldn't find him.
Si Cen: "Please help me find out about the Rong family and what major events or strange things happened thirty years ago. Oh, and the Tianshi Association."
Si Cen sent He Shu away, and the system hesitated and spoke cautiously, [Host... didn't I... ask Zi Zi to find out? ]
Si Cen chuckled, with a fake smile on his face, [You teamed up with your father Rong to deceive me, how dare I ask you for help? ]
The system was horrified.
The system is crying.
Oh, oh, oh… The host’s dad seems to be angry, what should I do? QAQ
