Chapter 71 - The Old Age

In the outer eight lines of the Thief Sect, there had always been the title of 'the leader of all thieves, the supreme thief'.

I used to be curious about blind Liu's anecdotes about how he would lead his sheep around. I really wanted to know what a real shepherd was like.

However, right now, I was filled with complicated emotions, but I wasn't curious at all.

I rarely complain, but what happened before almost made me spit blood in anger.

Ever since I went to university, I rarely went back to Dong Jia Village's home.

The reason was simple. The small farmhouse that contained my childhood memories could only be a torture device for the current me. Every time I go back, I have to endure a cold torment that no one else can understand.

I just go back every month to clean up, open doors and windows, and get some fresh air out of the house.

But I didn't expect that within less than a month, someone would have set up my base camp, or perhaps my kennel, as a mourning hall!

I really want to find someone like Sang Lan and wrongly ask him: Who have I offended? Why did you do this to me?

However, compared to feeling wronged, I want to find the answer myself …

According to the address given by the shepherd, they arrived at a house on the outskirts of Lin County in two cars.

The one who opened the door was a fifteen or sixteen year old boy. He was short but stocky, with a round face and a bulbous nose.

Hearing Sang Lan's father's explanation of the purpose of his visit, he did not completely open the door. Instead, he turned her head around to take a furtive glance, and then took out a small lantern the size of his palm from behind her back, shining it on our faces one by one.

Everyone who was caught in the light frowned, and Ji Yayun and Sang Lan covered their noses as they retreated two steps back.

It was unknown what the lantern was made of, but there was a strong fishy smell coming from it. It was really unbearable.

Zhao Qi frowned and asked me softly. It was not even dark yet.

I told him not to ask any more questions. The fact is, I don't know what this brat is up to either.

The boy took us all in, blew out the lantern, and opened the door to let us in.

It was not much different from an ordinary farmhouse. The only thing worth mentioning was that the bonsai on one side of the yard was especially jagged and lush. There was also a well in the corner of the yard.

When he entered the main room, he saw an old man sitting on an armchair beside the Eight Immortals' table. He had his eyes closed and was smoking.

Seeing that the old man did not even lift his eyes, the woman tried calling out cautiously, "Mr Gu?"

The old man still did not open his eyes. He took another drag on his cigarette and slowly said:

"You said on the phone that your daughter is in trouble. I only agreed to meet you two once because of Brother Hai Shan. As for Xiao Fu's safety, I've already explained it to you all back then, don't ever mention it again. "

My grandpa's name was Dong Hai Shan, so I knew that the old man in front of me was the shepherd.

The lady anxiously took a step forward, "Mr. Gu, Xiao Fu, he …"

"Little Lei, send our guest off!"

Seeing that the young man with the garlic nose had stepped forward, I hurriedly said, "Old mister, please don't be anxious." If you don't want to talk about it, then let's not talk about it. "

"Who are you?"

"My name is Xu Huo, I was invited to come here by the Sang family to settle some matters, but I only know some unorthodox methods and can't help them, so I followed them to find senior for help. "Excuse me for coming, but old mister, please forgive me."

The goatherd waved his hand. "Since we're all of the same side who know the rules, why bother being polite? Take a seat." This old man's eyes can't take it anymore, so don't blame me for being rude. "

He took two more puffs before he turned to the woman and said in a deep voice, "Little girl Dong, tell me about your daughter."

Sang Lan looked at me and recounted her experiences in the past few days to me.

"Just today, I was even betrothed to someone else!" Sang Lan said with grievance, and couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes in anger.

The shepherd frowned as he listened.

"The Ghost Soul Reversal Technique … He never thought that people would have diabolism like this right now. Underworld marriage is only one of the steps. Raising a ghost to repay the Yang, you are equivalent to him raising a child as his wife … Underworld marriage... "Underworld marriage …"

After hearing him repeat the word 'Underworld Marriage', I hesitated for a moment before saying:

"The spirit hall that will be used to accompany the wedding will be arranged for Mrs. Sang, which is also Dong Yaru's home."

The shepherd didn't seem surprised at all. He waved his hand and said:

"That's inevitable. There are people who want to borrow the ghost's womb to repay the Yang. In addition, they want to find a pregnant woman that matches the eight characters to be their sacrifice. They also want to be a child's wife. Within a circumference of a hundred miles, only the person whom I planted under Xiao Fu's bed is too old. To be able to be found like this, it seems like the other party's demonic art is not bad. "

I frowned. "Grand Moon?"

"Lunar New Year …" The goatherd seemed to have thought of something, and muttered as if his mind was wandering:

"Back then, when the Dong Clan girls brought Xiao Fu back to the Dong Jia Village, I heard from the two of them that ever since Xiao Fu was born, the two of them have been through countless small disasters and almost lost their lives a few times. I thought it was strange, so I helped Xiao Fu to calm his bones and realised that he was actually someone who had a devilish body, someone who was close to him. I think he was too young to change his fate, so he made some preparations. But that night, just as I was about to get up to help him change his fate, a cold wind blew. When the cold winds dissipated, then... "Then …"

"Old man, don't be agitated."

"It's not excitement... I'll never forget it. Since you are a Yin House, you should know the seventy-two Wild Immortals, right? At that time, the cold wind had dispersed and the incense had been extinguished. Fox yellow willow gray, Sun eyebrow scale talisman cry, butterfly hundred silk sting night, spider scorpion bat moth … … Even Chai Xian (Wolf), who was outside the 72 Roads … An entire twenty-one wild deities have all come to the courtyard. "

As he said this, the goatherd stood up and pointed at the door with his pipe.

"Can you imagine what it was like? The wild beasts and poisonous bugs in the courtyard were surrounding him, staring at him viciously! Gu Ye has travelled extensively in his life and has never seen anything like this. "

"And then?" I asked.

The shepherd let out a long sigh.

"Only then did I know that Xiao Fu An was not an ordinary Evil Body Yin Body, and could possibly be … Sigh! What else can I do? At that time, I pushed the altar down and apologized to those twenty-one wild deities one by one. When we got back to the house, I told Brother Hai Shan that this child's fate was such that it couldn't be changed. Brother Hai Shan also saw it from the crack of the door and asked me, "What should I do?"

What else can I do? This brat is born to be a great disaster. If this goes on, your daughter and your son-in-law will be the ones to die. Brother Hai Shan is a ruthless man. We drank midnight wine, and he told me to think of a way to save his daughter, and that I must not hurt his grandson.

After our last discussion, we could only decide to go against the couple from the Dong Clan, saying that they fought with their children. If they were to be together with their children, they would kill Xiao Fu with this method, leaving the two of them far behind.

Did someone have to bring Xiao Fu around? Brother Hai Shan told me to think of a way. After thinking about it, I decided to plant the piece of land I got from Mount Kunlun under the child's bed. It was for no other reason but to make sure that brother Hai Shan would have the chance to raise this child.

A few years ago, when I went back, I went to see Brother Hai Shan. When I looked again under the bed at that time, the huge piece of land, which was originally the size of a millstone, had actually become invisible. I decided that if I dug it out, it would at most be no bigger than my palm.

I closed my eyes for a moment, opened them, and asked in a low voice, "Why are those people making arrangements to marry into the Underworld?"

The goatherd clicked his tongue and said, "That's because he's too old for Karakorum. No matter how young he is, he still retains some prestige." Forget about the area within a hundred mile radius, even if we were to search the entire province, it would not be such a good place! "

I thought for a moment, then told him about the five paper man and bowed deeply towards him.

"Senior Gu, I've already told you everything I need to know. Thank you senior for your guidance, and thank you senior for protecting my parents' lives, Xu Huo will be taking his leave. "

After which, he turned around and walked out.

"Hiss …"

The shepherd boy suddenly took a deep breath and turned to face Dong Yaru, "He … "He is..."

Zhao Qi also came out, and looked towards the distance, he opened the car door and jumped in, only then did he turn his head and ask after igniting the fire: "Do you believe what he said?"

I shook my head. "It doesn't matter whether I believe you or not. There's no point in thinking about the past."

"Then Sang Lan..."

I turned my head to look at the white car that was not far away. "Didn't you ask Shen Qing to follow and protect her? I'm an intern. Xu Huo. "
