Chapter 791 Questioning

My heart skipped a beat when I heard what Master Xu said.

"Will Xie Tianxiang die at the age of nineteen? Doesn't that mean... this year?"

The Four Heaven-stealing Elephants were all born on the same day of the same month of the same year. Although their fates were different, their birth dates were basically the same. I turned nineteen after the Chinese New Year, which means that Xie Tianxiang is also nineteen this year. I

was just wondering, how did Master Xu figure it out? He could actually figure out the future of the Four Heaven-stealing Elephants through the secrets of the heavens that were hidden from him?

"Could it be... he is framing me?" I frowned, then squinted my eyes and looked at Master Xu again. I saw that he raised his head high and was looking in my direction, with a playful smile on his face.

Seeing that I was looking at him with a gloomy face, he smiled and said, "Why, you still don't believe it? Haha, kid, let me tell you, I, Master Xu, have made countless divinations in my life and have never failed. Although, you have the Four Heavenly Symbols and the destiny of Tianshe, which can conceal the secrets of heaven, but my Xu family has a compass called the Tianji Pan, which can predict all fortunes and misfortunes. Don't say that you have the Tianshe destiny, even if you are the chosen sons of destiny and are protected by the laws of heaven, I can still see through the layers of fog and calculate your past and present lives clearly."

I didn't say anything after hearing what he said. It was really...he was talking a bit weird, I didn't know how to respond!

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Master Xu lit up the smoke pot in his hand again, took two deep puffs, and then asked, "Boy, aren't you curious about why Xie Tianxiang died this year, and how he died?"

"How did he die?" I squinted my eyes and stared at Master Xu, trying to see his expression through the gauze to determine if he was framing me.

But the room was too dark, and the only light source was the smoke pot in his hand, but the smoke pot was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and with the gauze blocking it, I couldn't see his expression clearly. Damn, I was lucky enough to find the position of his head accurately in that disgusting fat.

I saw him take a puff of the tobacco pipe, and then he smiled and said, "Haha, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed."

His words almost made me spit out a mouthful of blood.

I thought to myself, damn, this old thing is really framing me!

I took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in my heart, and then whispered, "You said before that you were a normal person when you were young, and the reason you became like this was all because of the evil celestial phenomenon?"

"That's right." Old Master Xu coughed and then continued, "I told him this hexagram, intending to scare him and tell him that as long as he listened to me and kept quiet in the village, I could turn misfortune into fortune for him and help him avoid the disaster of his nineteenth year. But I didn't expect that I still underestimated the evil of this kid. After hearing it, he was not afraid, but grinned at me. Although the incident happened more than ten years ago, the evil I still remember Tian Xiang's smile vividly. What kind of smile was that? It was as if... a demon crawled out of hell and was grinning at you. It gave me chills all over my body..."

Perhaps it had been too long since he had a living person to talk to. At this moment, this old man Xu seemed to be a chatterbox, chattering non-stop in such detail that he almost described Xie Tian Xiang's psychological activities at that time.

I wanted to interrupt him several times, but he didn't give me any chance. He said a lot of useless things in one breath, then took a deep breath and said, "I thought that even if this kid was not afraid, he would be more restrained. But I never expected that this kid would become even more aggressive and more ferocious. Moreover, on the second night, this kid actually sneaked into my house. I was sleeping soundly at that time, and vaguely felt something blowing on my neck. I woke up with a start, and then I saw that this little bastard was actually lying next to my pillow, blowing on my face one by one...evil spirit!"

My heart skipped a beat after hearing what Mr. Xu said.

I have to say that this old man Xu is really a good storyteller. If an ordinary person were to tell this story, I probably wouldn't feel anything. At most, I would feel that this evil celestial phenomenon is indeed a bit evil. In the middle of the night, it actually crawled to someone's pillow and blew evil spirits.

But through the mouth of this old man Xu, this story can be said to be vivid. At this moment, I felt as if I was there. I was frightened and got goosebumps

all over my body. "The evil celestial phenomenon sneaked into your house in the middle of the night and blew evil spirits on you?" I swallowed my saliva with a gulp.

The evil spirit entered the body, and it was extremely pure evil spirit. This is not something that ordinary people can withstand. The villagers in this village are the best proof.

"That's right." Grandpa Xu nodded and said, "Alas, the evil spirit entered my body and has already invaded my bone marrow. I thought I was hopeless, but unexpectedly, the soul-guiding old man gave me a pill. Although this pill can keep me alive, it can only keep me alive. The pure evil spirit has been rampant in my body for so many years, and has changed my genes and even the internal environment of my body. This is why my body has become so fat and is still growing wildly."

I suddenly realized when I heard this, and thought that the reason why Grandpa Xu became like this was because of the evil spirit entering his body.

However, Grandpa Xu only became fat, instead of being rotten like those villagers, and becoming half-human and half-ghost, which is a blessing in disguise.

I just don't know what kind of elixir did the soul-guiding old man give to Master Xu? How could it keep him alive?

But then, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The soul-guiding old man couldn't have given Master Xu the elixir to keep him alive for no reason. There must be some additional conditions.

In such a situation of imminent death, I guess even a man of steel would have to give in. After all, his life is his own, and his steely character is for future generations to tell about.

But what would the soul-guiding old man's condition be?

I frowned, and then suddenly asked: "The villagers said that you have a method of immortality in your hands. Was this immortality method given to you by the soul-guiding old man? And the reason why he gave you the soul-guiding method is that he wants you to help the evil celestial phenomena... to sacrifice a substitute puppet?"

As soon as I said this, the fat body of Mr. Xu shook immediately, and even the posture of smoking a cigarette bag pot was frozen.

For a moment, the whole room fell into a deathly silence!
