C267 granny

The room was filled with an unknown fragrance. There was an incense tray by the window with a thread of incense on it. Occasionally, a little cool wind would blow in from the window, causing the smoke to dissipate for a moment. However, it was different from the other incense sticks. This dark red incense stick burned extremely slowly, and the fire at the top of the incense stick never seemed to be burning down.

"From the looks of it, this old man isn't surprised at all?" As soon as the old granny entered, she washed her hands in front of a copper basin. Beside the basin, there were all kinds of bottles and jars containing liquids or solids. As we entered, the old woman was sprinkling brown powder on her hands.

"Why should I be surprised?" The grandma took her hand out of the water basin and wiped it with the towel beside her. Then, she walked towards the incense in the window and placed her hand on top of it. Then, she began to smoke her hand little by little. When people get older, they would always be able to see a future that they shouldn't be able to see. It just so happens that in the chaos in the mountain, even if we were forgotten for many years, it would still be within reason for us to be remembered. "

See a future that shouldn't be seen? I was stunned and cupped my hands towards the old granny. "May I ask, how old are you this year?"

"A complete mess." The old granny's words didn't seem to mind at all, but it made Zheng Wuxie and I jump in fright.

"Oh my god. Old man, are you sure you didn't remember wrong?" Zheng Wuxie's expression was extremely exaggerated, when I heard the old granny's words, I did not know what to say.

What is a chaos? This is not a specific number, but a general concept. Ten was a muddle, a hundred was a muddle, a thousand, and as for ten million, that was all a muddle.

At this moment, the number that the grandma was referring to was naturally the number one hundred. It's not like I've never seen a centenarian before, but for this seemingly healthy centenarian, it's really my first time seeing him. If the old man were to tell me that she was only sixty this year, Zheng Wuxie and I would definitely believe him.

The old granny looked at Zheng Wuxie but did not say anything. I felt that he really did not know how to speak, didn't you clearly say that the old man was confused? It was normal for people to ignore him.

"This thing …" "The old granny suddenly stared at the Anti-Demon Pestle in my hand. She squinted her eyes as though she was unsure." This item, did you find it from the place where Mao Shi was? "

"Mao Feng?" I didn't understand what the old granny was talking about. The old granny thought for a moment before pointing in a direction. "It is a mountain peak in this direction. The mountain peak is bare."

"Where did you find it? Do you have any advice for me?" I nodded my head. There wasn't anything shameful about it. It was just that I was a little curious. How did this old lady know about the origins of this Demon Fighter Pestle?

"I don't have any advice to give, but the things I found there aren't all that clean. I need to be careful with what I have in hand, don't let my mind get clouded over." The grandma spoke very slowly, as if she was talking about something that wasn't too strange. I looked at her. Her expression was flat and emotionless, as if it had never changed from beginning to end.

The old granny's words made me feel as though I had found the answer to all of my doubts. Since she could identify the source of this Demon Fighter Pestle, then she must have some understanding of why it has such a large demonic attribute.

"Elder, this Anti-Demon Pestle seems to be a holy item of the buddhist faith. How could it …"

"There is a saying passed down from generation to generation. I'm not too sure about the specifics. I heard that a temple had originally appeared on that mountain peak. There were many big monks in the temple, but for some reason, that temple had quietly disappeared overnight. It was as if it had never appeared before. But later on, there would often be people who found Buddhist items on the Wai Shitou. However, the end result was not good, and those items would mysteriously disappear. "A few years ago, black smoke came out of the mountain peak. I went over with some friends to investigate, but I found a few demonic monk bones." As the old granny spoke, she shook her head, "That was an ominous place. At that time, my old body had three old friends buried on top of that stone pillar. However, not even their bones were left behind. Furthermore, anyone who has knowledge of these mountains will know that the things on these mountains cannot be taken away from them. The things on these mountains must not be taken away, and taking them will bring about a fatal disaster. However, I didn't expect that you kids, who have come from outside the mountains, would actually dare to offend this taboo. "

"You can't reach Mao Shi?" Then, old man, why are you still going up? " I thought that I had caught the words of this old granny, but to my surprise, she didn't seem to mind.

"This old man has his own ways of escaping." The old granny looked deeply at the Demon Subduing Pestle in my hand, "I hope you will have a good result."

"Hopefully!" I replied, "Elder, I won't hide the truth. This time, we've come …."

"For the Gu seedlings?" However, the old granny seemed to know what I wanted to say. Her gaze once again landed on me, "Young man, you've been infected by a type of divine Gu, this bit of eyesight is still acceptable. You guys are targeting that Gu King from the White Miao Tribe."

"Ugh …" Being seen through like this, I didn't know what to say. When Zheng Wuxie and I looked at each other, we could see the helplessness in each other's eyes. The situation in front of us was really hard for us to deal with, I felt that I had messed up.

"Don't be embarrassed, Wu Dai has been forgotten for so many years. Only when dealing with Gu seedlings can people think of the existence of people like us." The old granny was very understanding.

"Then you …?" I looked tentatively at the old woman, not sure what to say next. Initially, I was just trying to persuade her and use a euphemistic method to make my request. However, this old granny had already exposed our intentions, rendering the words that I had prepared completely useless.

"That's alright. I don't have many days left to live, so there's no need to worry about anything before I leave." Of course, there are conditions. If you agree to it, everything will be fine.

"What condition?" I hesitated for a moment, hoping it wasn't something impossible, but when I thought about how calm the old man had been from the beginning, I didn't think she would deliberately make things difficult for us.

A trace of love flashed in her eyes as she looked at the little girl washing clothes by the pool under the waterfall. She said, "When you leave, take my granddaughter with you and guarantee that she will be happy and rich for the rest of her life. Don't let her touch any of the witches."

"This is not difficult …" I muttered to myself. The grandma was talking about some matters behind her back. She seemed to view her own life and death very indifferently. The little girl who looked to be only eight or nine years old was obviously the last bit of obsession she had with the mortal world. Of course, I wasn't bored to think about why a hundred year old grandma would have an 8-9 year old granddaughter. Whether or not she could figure it out, it had nothing to do with me.

"Alright, since you've agreed, then there's nothing else to say." This old one still has a few last things to do.

Zheng Wuxie and I looked at each other. But why is it so awkward? She doesn't seem to have any intention of coming with us.

"Elder, this …" This time, Zheng Wuxie was the first to speak, but before he could speak, he was interrupted once again by the old granny.

"Let's go. When the time comes, this old body will naturally appear before you." With that, the old granny picked up a jar and left the room, returning to the bamboo house she had just come from. Zheng Wuxie and I looked at each other for a long time before we could only sigh. Then we turned around and walked out of the house, filled with suspicion.

"Big Brother, are you guys leaving? Goodbye! " We were ready to return to the same road. Under the loud sound of the waterfall hitting the water, the little girl unexpectedly sensed that we were leaving. She turned around and waved goodbye, looking extremely happy. This little girl probably didn't know that her grandmother was about to pass away.

"That's right, we're leaving. Goodbye!" I also turned around and waved back at the little girl. With the Demon Fighter Pestle in hand, I followed Zheng Wuxie's original path back. After sleeping for almost a day and a night, the little fellow finally woke up. It came out of the backpack and laid on my shoulder, licking its lips as it whined to tell me that it was hungry.

"There really is a door to this matter!" I am beginning to believe that we will succeed. " Although the sky had already turned dark, the sun still hadn't completely set. We could still take advantage of this opportunity to travel a long distance.

"You are quite optimistic." I looked at Zheng Wuxie, not paying attention to his self-righteous words. I am more considering the words that the old granny had said to me now, she said that he would naturally appear then, which made me feel uneasy from start to finish. She knows where the White Seedling clan is? Even if she did, how would she know where we'd be? And when did she say he should appear?

I have always hated the way these high men talk, as if they were full of Zen machines, and the way they say it in such a way that they think they are wise and make us, the ones who hear them, lose our heads.

"You really shouldn't believe me when I say this!" However, Zheng Wuxie seemed to not have thought about those questions at all, "You know that when people are close to death, they can always catch a lot of future prospects, just that some people can drag out death and see those clearly, while some people can only die the moment they saw those things …"
