Chapter 1058 Disaster, a Perfect Match

"What?"

I was stunned for a moment after hearing what

Pao Zhen said. In fact, the amount of information revealed by Pao Zhen's words was too much, and I couldn't accept it for a while.

I clearly remember that when Hu Zi and I were very young, Hu Zi's parents went up the mountain to collect mountain products. It happened to be a rainy day, and the road was slippery on rainy days, and the mountain road was extremely difficult to walk. This caused Hu Zi's parents to accidentally fall into the mountains.

This is what Hu Zi's grandmother and the villagers told Hu Zi and me, and Hu Zi and I have always believed it.

I believe that it is not just us, the people in the village, and even Hu Zi's grandmother, should think so. After

all, there are many people who go up the mountain to collect mountain products and get into accidents.

Even when I saw Hu Zi's parents in the ancient tomb, I just thought that their appearance in the ancient tomb was a coincidence and didn't think too much about it.

Of course, with my skills and vision at that time, I probably couldn't figure it out even if I racked my brains.

But what I never expected was that there was a hidden story behind the death of Hu Zi's parents, and it seemed to be because of... the Xu family?

I swallowed with a gulp and murmured in a low voice: "Uncle Pao, about this matter Hu Zi..."

"I haven't told him about it." Pao Zhen shook his head: "Besides, it's not appropriate to let him know this now. Hu Zi's swordsmanship is only slightly successful now, and he knows too little about this world. Everyone who has just started practicing, after achieving a little success, will have a sense of...invincibility and feel that they are very strong, but this is also human nature. When you just gain power, there will inevitably be a period of expansion. But in fact, there are always people better than you, and your achievements today may be just a joke in the eyes of others."

I nodded.

At the beginning, when I first entered the martial arts world, I had the idea that this martial arts world was just like this. But later, when I saw the real strong men and real heroes, I couldn't help but sigh that I was superficial. There are still many heroes in this martial arts world.

"Doesn't the Xu family feel guilty for doing this?" I narrowed my eyes, with a hint of anger in my eyes.

"The Xu family had no choice. At the beginning, the corpse gas and the evil spirit in the ancient tomb leaked. If it could not be controlled in time, then let alone your Xu Village, even the entire back mountain might have become a barren land, and several nearby villages might have become dead villages. The Xu family did this to stop the loss in time, sacrificing two people in exchange for stability within a radius of nearly a hundred miles. But..."

Speaking of this, Pao Zhen suddenly He paused, then sneered: "But, what does the mistakes made by the Xu family have to do with Hu Zi's parents, two ordinary people? So, they are indeed guilty!"

Yes, what does the mistakes made by your Xu family have to do with others? You don't think about how to make up for it, but you sacrificed two ordinary people to stop the damage. These two ordinary people may not know why they died until they die. Moreover,

the persecution of the Xu family is not just as simple as two ordinary people.

They are also flesh and blood people, they also have parents and children. The death of the two broke several families in an instant. Hu Zi's grandfather soon fell ill and passed away. Hu Zi's grandmother also cried all day long and even cried blind. Hu Zi had an extremely miserable childhood.

All of this was thanks to the Xu family.

I took a deep breath, then looked at Pao Zhen and asked, "So, let's just leave it at that?"

Hearing this, Pao Zhen didn't say anything, but kept tapping the table with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "Hu Zi's character is affected by his fate. He is very impulsive and irritable. To be honest, his character is very similar to mine when I was young. But this kind of character is destined to make his life and even his cultivation not so smooth. And Hu Zi also has a calamity, and this calamity..."

"Will it befall the Xu family?" I asked hurriedly.

Pao Zhen shook his head: "I don't know, maybe yes, maybe no. And this calamity is a calamity of the heart. If you can get through it, then from now on, the sky will be free for birds to fly and the sea will be wide for fish to jump. If you can't get through it..."

Pao Zhen paused again when he said this. I was anxious and asked again: "What will happen?"

"Maybe he will be possessed by a demon like I was back then."

After hearing what Pao Zhen said, I was silent.

I have seen how terrifying Pao Zhen is when he is possessed by a demon.

He can't distinguish between enemies and enemies. The Qi in his body is like an angry beast, running rampant in his body, and he kills anyone he sees, without any logic or humanity.

He is a living demon god!

You know, Pao Zhen is one of the top ten masters in the world. Even with his ability, he can't suppress the devil in his heart. If Hu Zi is possessed by the devil, I dare not imagine what he will become.

I took a deep breath and whispered, "Uncle Pao, what can I do for Hu Zi?"

"Take him away from here." Pao Zhen picked up the wine glass, but he didn't continue to drink. He just sniffed the aroma of wine and said, "At present, it seems that Hu Zi's fate is most likely to be in the Xu family, so taking Hu Zi away from Xu Village may be the only way. But this is also a stopgap measure, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. What is coming will come sooner or later. I just hope that when the day of the catastrophe comes, Hu Zi's cultivation will have made great progress. At least... like me, he will only be possessed by the devil for a few days, instead of becoming a complete demon."

"I understand." I nodded, and then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Uncle Pao, you should know Miao Cuicui from our village, right? That's... the female evil spirit."

When I said this, I kept glancing at Pao Zhen, fearing that I would say something wrong and upset him.

Fortunately, he didn't change his mood too much, just nodded and said, "I know."

After that, he looked at me and asked, "Do you think that this disaster may also happen to the female evil spirit? Or... to that child?"

Hearing this, I was sure that Pao Zhen really knew everything, maybe even Ling'er knew it.

I took a deep breath and nodded, "Is it possible?"

"No." To my surprise, Pao Zhen actually gave a very positive answer. I was stunned, with some confusion in my eyes. Why was he so sure?

Pao Zhen smiled when he saw this and said, "You may not believe it, but judging from the fate, that female evil spirit is actually... the perfect match for Hu Zi!"
