Chapter 1057 The cause of death sealed for more than ten years

After drinking most of the large pot of Nuerhong, Hu Zi and Mao Buhui were a little drunk, and even Mu Yunxi had a dazed look, obviously drunk.

"It's getting late, let's all go to rest." Pao Zhen knocked on the table and said to a few people.

They nodded and then went into the private room under the leadership of Ling'er.

After we came back, Ling'er cleaned up several rooms in the private room, just enough for us to rest.

"Uncle Pao, I'll go to rest too."

I was about to get up, but Pao Zhen said, "Qian Yu, sit with me for a while."

I was stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay."

"Can you still drink?" Pao Zhen picked up the pot of wine and looked at me and asked.

I grinned and said, "No problem."

"Oh, I forgot that you have a pure yin body. The pure yin energy in your body can help you suppress the smell of alcohol. But don't drink too much. Drinking too much will inevitably harm your body." Pao Zhen said as he poured me a glass of wine. I smiled and said, "I seldom drink when I'm away from home. When I came back and saw Uncle Pao and Ling'er, they were both fine. I was happy, so I drank a few more glasses."

"Well, when you're away from home, no matter what you do, you have to be more careful. After all, people's hearts are hidden." Pao Zhen took a deep breath, then clinked glasses with me, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

"Uncle Pao, did my master...come to you in your dream?" I put down my wine glass and suddenly asked, "What did the master say to you in the dream?"

"Your master did come to me in my dream." Pao Zhen nodded, "But he didn't say much, just told you to be careful in the near future."

"Told me to be careful in the near future?" I frowned when I heard that, "Is it me...going to encounter something recently?"

"Your master didn't explain in detail, he just said that you should try not to meet your sister. You two have special destinies. If you stay together for a long time, it will not be good for each other and may even bring disaster. Moreover, you both have precious treasures. As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty until he possesses a treasure. If you two get together, then the River Map and Luo Shu will be complete. At that time, I believe that few people can resist and not take action against you."

Hearing this, I nodded and said, "I understand."

"Although your master is in the underworld, everything is fine, don't worry."

"My master... was he really convicted and imprisoned in hell because of dereliction of duty?" I asked in disbelief.

My master, as a living ghost messenger, should have walked the world, killed demons where there were demons, caught ghosts where there were ghosts, safeguarded the peace of the world, and redressed the injustices of those who died unjustly and sent them to the afterlife.

However, because of me, my master hid his identity in Xu Village and lived in seclusion for eighteen years. During these eighteen years, demons and monsters appeared everywhere in the world. Although it had nothing to do with my master, it is understandable to judge my master for dereliction of duty.

But if he was imprisoned in hell, it would be a bit... too severe.

"Haha, do you really think that your master will be imprisoned in hell? If you really think so, you are underestimating your master." Pao Zhen smiled faintly, but I was stunned when I heard it, and even my hand that was pouring wine for Pao Zhen froze.

Then, I hurriedly asked, "Isn't my master imprisoned?"

"Of course not." Pao Zhen nodded.

"But... since my master is not imprisoned in hell, why doesn't he come back to the human world?"

Nowadays, the pattern of the cultivation world in the human world has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Maoshan Sect has closed the mountain and locked the gates, and Longhu Mountain has obtained the fortune for the next fifty years. I am a descendant of the Yin people, and through this power struggle, I have been pushed to the front, and it is very likely that I will use this opportunity to expand the mountain gate.

Even those Qin Dynasty generals who were sleeping in the ancient tombs have revived one after another. It can be said that in the eyes of ordinary people, now is a peaceful and prosperous era.

But in the eyes of cultivators, it is a chaotic world.

"Your master's practice has reached a very important juncture, and your master has made too many enemies in the human world. If he were to retreat in the human world, even with my protection, mistakes would be inevitable. Fortunately, your master went to the underworld. There, your master holds an official position and is blessed with the luck of the underworld. And the environment of the underworld is no different from a holy place for practice for you who follow the lineage of the underworld. There, you have a greater chance of breaking through the realm, and you can also resume your job."

"Resume your job?" I thought to myself, isn't my master just an ordinary living ghost messenger?

How can he resume his job at the same time?

Could it be that my master is very familiar with the people in the underworld, or even has a close relationship with them?

Or is it that my master is so powerful that... even the underworld has to give him some face?

"When will my master come back?" I asked hurriedly.

"Soon, two or three months at the fastest, half a year at the slowest. However, your master always surprises people. Maybe he will come back tomorrow. Who knows?" Pao Zhen smiled, took another sip of wine, and then continued: "If your master can successfully break through, oh no, with your master's talent, he will definitely be able to break through. By then, I'm afraid that in this world, except for the old Tianshi in Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, there will be no one who can be your master's opponent. But... except for that group."

"Who are those people?" I asked.

Pao Zhen did not answer my question, but drank in silence. After a long while, he said, "You will meet them in the future."

Then, Pao Zhen and I drank in silence, and neither of us spoke. Just when I was feeling a little sleepy, Pao Zhen suddenly sighed, looked at me and said, "Qian Yu, you have been to the ancient tomb in the back mountain of your Xu Village. When you came out, you should have seen... Hu Zi's parents!"

Hearing this, I was immediately shocked, and even the slight sleepiness that had just surged up disappeared instantly.

"I have seen them." I nodded, but I was confused in my heart. Why did Pao Zhen suddenly talk about this?

Moreover, how did he know that Hu Zi's parents were in the ancient tomb? Could it be that he had also been to the ancient tomb?

Why are Hu Zi's parents in the ancient tomb? Does Pao Zhen know?

Pao Zhen seemed to see through my doubts and whispered, "Hu Zi's fate is very special. It is the fate of the white tiger that will shed blood. You should know this, right?"

"Yes, I know." I nodded.

"Hu Zi's parents' fate is also very special. They... are born extremely sensitive to corpse qi and evil qi, and their physiques can even devour these qi. And their bodies are like bottomless pits, which can keep devouring these breaths until... they completely lose their minds and become a zombie!"

At this point, Pao Zhen narrowed his eyes: "More than ten years ago, there was an abnormal movement in the ancient tomb in the back mountain of your Xu Village. Endless corpse qi and evil spirits overflowed. In order to deal with this crisis, the Xu family captured Hu Zi's parents and imprisoned them in the ancient tomb. Their purpose was to... swallow the corpse qi and evil spirits leaked from the ancient tomb to make up for the mistakes of their Xu family!"
