Chapter 156 Methods to Break the Doll
After a long while, Mu Xingchun finally moved his lips, looking at the expectant eyes of the young people looking at him.
Even his own granddaughter seemed very interested, so Mu Xingchun had no choice but to relent. He sighed, "Yes, I do know a little about this..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi and the others were delighted; it seemed that this was what they were going to say.
Mu Xingchun gazed intently into the distance, "That happened many years ago..."
Yun Hao, ever perceptive, lit a cigarette for him. "Go ahead and talk! We won't interrupt, we'll just listen."
Mu Xingchun took the cigarette from his hand, trembling as he put it in his mouth and took a deep drag. After a while, he exhaled a smoke ring with enjoyment.
Through the wisps of smoke, he began to reminisce, "That was when I was a child..."
Actually, my surname isn't Mu, but Mu, and my name is Mu Yan. I come from a fairly good family; while my family isn't extremely wealthy, they are quite well-off.
But all of this was destroyed by foreign invasion; my entire family was killed by them.
My mother hid me under a pile of corpses, which is how I escaped death. Everyone else died except me.
I was stuck under a pile of corpses, and I don't know how long it lasted before someone pulled me out. That was my master.
"Your master?" Yun Hao looked at him in surprise. "You have a master?"
"Ah! My master was a Taoist priest. He was very capable. He was good at fortune telling and character analysis. He was quite famous at the time."
He said he had a past relationship with my father, so after he foresaw that something bad would happen to our family, he rushed over, but it was still too late...
My master is a wanderer; he never stays in one place for more than seven days, and he leaves no matter what the locals say.
I was very confused at the time, but later I found out that my master was hiding from someone…
"A person? There must be something wrong with this person, right?" Lu Yi asked.
"Yes, that person is actually my master's junior brother, his name is Liu Shan."
"Liu Shan?!" Lu Yi and the other two exclaimed in unison in surprise.
"What, do you two know each other?" Mu Xingchun looked over with a strange expression.
The group exchanged glances, wondering if this person was Yamamoto...
But they weren't sure either, and just shook their heads, saying, "We're not sure. Please continue, and we'll know if it's true or not after you've finished."
Mu Xingchun paused, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, "That Liu Shan is actually not from our country, but an orphan left behind by the Japanese."
My master's master, who is also my grandmaster, took him in as a disciple because he was pitiful but also very clever.
My grandmaster's lineage had a rule that an apprentice could only learn one skill, and had to learn others on their own.
My grandmaster had two special skills: fortune telling and puppetry.
Puppetry is supposed to help its master deal with things that are difficult to reach, but Liu Shan's puppets are different.
He learned a strange curse technique from somewhere and then combined the two to create an even stranger doll.
Some of these things can harm people, while others can help them, but generally speaking, everything in this category that resembles a human figure is quite sinister.
So my master wanted to stop him, but he was ambushed by Liu Shan, who had long harbored rebellious intentions!
I don't know when it started, but he reconnected with the Japanese. He led a group of Japanese to surround my master's Taoist temple.
