Chapter 57
While the boy was pouring tea for us, Master Chunyang looked at me and said, "Is your last name Gui?"
I nodded.
"Your ghost clan finally has successors." Master Chunyang sighed.
From what he said, it seems that he is very familiar with us ghosts, which is exactly what I want to know.
I asked him nervously, "Master, do you know anything about the ghost tribe? Where exactly are we, the ghost tribe?"
He looked at me with some confusion and said, "Why, aren't you from the ghost tribe?"
"To be honest, I was not born in the ghost tribe, and my parents lost contact shortly after I was born. Even my grandfather who had been taking care of me disappeared when I was a teenager," I said.
"Alas, what a sin." said Master Chunyang.
"Master, please tell me the news about the ghost clan. I have no way to repay you." Seeing that he was interested, I pleaded.
After more than ten years, I finally got a clue about the ghost clan. Master Chunyang's words were like a life-saving straw. I must get to the bottom of it.
"It seems that everything is God's will. I guess Senior Brother Pingyin asked you to come here just for this matter." Master Chunyang said.
"Why don't they tell me directly?" I asked after hearing Master Chunyang say this.
"The Tianshi Mansion is one of the leading Taoist sects in the world. It is not convenient for them to interfere in the affairs of other Xuanmen clans." Master Chunyang said.
"Master, please tell me about the ghost tribe." I bowed deeply to him.
"I heard that thirty years ago, someone from the ghost clan defected. From what you said, it should be your family. This incident caused a big uproar in the Xuanmen at that time. Tianshi Mansion and Wudang Mountain both came forward to mediate, but I didn't expect that your family still couldn't escape." Master Chunyang said.
This was the first time I heard anything about my family, and I was so excited that I couldn't describe it.
Master Chunyang continued, "According to the information leaked by the Ghost Clan at the time, your family must have stolen the clan's most valuable treasure. The clan leader discovered this and is now dealing with the thieves according to clan rules."
"Master, are you talking about the Feather Stone?"
"It seems the rumors are true."
He exclaimed when he heard me mention the Feather Stone.
"The Feather Stone of your Ghost Clan is a first-class magical tool in the world. It can not only exorcise evil spirits and suppress demons, but also pray for blessings and communicate with the gods. Come here."
I walked up to Master Chunyang. He carefully observed my face, looked at my palm lines, and finally asked about my birth date.
"Alas," Master Chunyang sighed again, "Your body is so yin that you should have died young. Your face is rosy and your eyes are bright, which shows great fortune. Your hands have yin and yang that complement and restrain each other, which is truly rare. If my prediction is correct, you will need to survive three disasters before you can be safe."
"Master, I have been punished by God twice before," I said.
Master Chunyang said, "I've guessed why your parents absconded with the Feather Stone. Your family must have anticipated your early death, and they hoped to use the Feather Stone to change your fate. It seems they've succeeded."
It turned out that my parents and grandfather had calculated my fate before I was born. For my sake, they stole the sacred object of the clan, the Yuhao Stone, hoping to use the power of the Yuhao Stone to change my fate of dying young.
However, the Feather Stone is the Ghost Clan's most sacred possession. Using it to change my fate would undoubtedly be tainted by the laws of nature, so the clan leader and all the elders refused. This led to my parents' desire to steal it, and they were eventually hunted down by the clan. Ultimately, it all started because of me.
They fled to the small mountain village where I was born, hiding their identities, but they overlooked one thing: they were just ordinary people and could not use the Yuhao Stone at all. So they asked my mother to carry the Yuhao Stone day and night, hoping to absorb some of its power.
But a person's fate is not so easily changed. Even though I was accompanied by the feather stone day and night, the timing of my birth was still very bad. My grandfather said that I was born with a smile, like a ghost doll. If I didn't have the feather stone, I would have been dead at birth.
My mother was pregnant for ten months, and the Yuhao Stone was more or less familiar with my breath. Since I was born, the Yuhao Stone has been protecting me.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if the energy in my body is also given by the Yuhao Stone!
Why can't my parents and grandfather use Yuhao Stone, but I can? I guess it has something to do with my mother carrying Yuhao Stone with her when she was pregnant.
Later, I asked Master Chunyang about the location of the ghost clan. Master Chunyang just said that it was in the Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan areas, but he didn't know the exact location.
This trip to Yunlu Palace unexpectedly yielded some clues about the ghost tribe. It was truly worth the trip. It also brought a glimmer of hope to my hopeless life.
Later, Master Chunyang told us many interesting stories about Zhang Pingyin Tianshi. Although he looks serious now, he was actually a kind-hearted person when he was young.
He hated evil and had killed so many demons and monsters that they were terrified on the land of China.
After Erma and I said goodbye, we descended Yuelu Mountain and continued to play in Changsha for two or three days. It wasn't until Xiaorong called me and said she had guests at the hotel that we booked tickets to return.
This time, Erma didn't stay with me, but went straight back to the Tianshi Mansion. She's been out for about a month now, and although Li Danyang didn't say anything to her last time, if she doesn't return for a long time, Master Zhang will definitely punish her again.
When I returned to the store, Xiaorong left the customer's phone number. We had originally agreed to visit the next day, but who knew the customer would show up in the evening.
As soon as he entered, he was surprised to see that only Xiaorong and I were in the shop. His suspicious eyes wandered over us, and finally he asked, "Are you the master of Tianshi Mansion?"
"Although I'm not from the Tianshi Mansion, I'm no different from a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion. If you have anything to say, feel free to tell me."
But as soon as I finished speaking, he left in a hurry. Before leaving, he looked at me as if I were a liar.
I didn’t expect that the first business deal would fail like this.
Xiao Rong said dejectedly, "Why don't we just go back to the bakery? If we keep going like this, we'll both starve to death."
"Don't worry, I won't let you starve to death," I said.
It seems like I really need to think of a solution, otherwise if the store remains closed, I won’t even be able to pay salaries.
The next day, another person came to our door. Xiaorong and I warmly welcomed her. She was a woman in her forties, and she looked gloomy. Something had been going on lately. I absolutely couldn't let her go this time, so I said, "Your eyes look dull, and your forehead is dark. Has something happened at home recently?"
This isn't some charlatan trick, but she truly has this problem. When people are unlucky, their energy and spirit weaken somewhat, which is reflected in their physical appearance, with dull eyes and a darkening of the forehead.
Of course, if I say this, I will be regarded as a charlatan, because those street fortune tellers nowadays will have black foreheads when they open their mouths, which means there will be bloody disasters.
