225、The Shouyin Family
Wu Bogong looked at Lin Yuexi with a bright look and asked, "Do you know the ghost car bird?"
Ghost Car Bird? Lin Yuexi was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Is it the Ghost Car Bird recorded in the Shanhai Sutra?"
"Yes, it is the ghost car bird with the body of the nine-headed bird recorded in the Shanhai Sutra, also known as the Jiufeng." Wu Bogong said.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas·The Northern Classic of Great Wilderness" records: In the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain called the North Pole Tianhuan, and the sea water lives in Yan in the north. There are nine gods, and people and birds are called Jiufeng.
"Do you know that there were ten ghost car birds, but later they became nine for some reason." Wu Bogong continued to ask.
Lin Yuexi nodded and said, "There is indeed such a saying that there were ten ghost car birds, which were used to eat one of them."
"Yes, the nine ghost car birds that were circulated in later generations actually had ten necks and nine heads, and the neck without heads kept dripping blood, and its head was eaten by the Tengu."
Tiangou is also recorded in "Shan Hai Jing", and the records of Tiangou are as follows: Three hundred miles west, it is called Yinshan. The turbid water comes out of Yan and flows south to Fanze. There are many vermicelli and there are beasts in it, called Tiangou, which looks like a raccoon and is white in the head and its sound is like a cucumber, which can control evil spirits.
Wu Bogong sighed again and continued, "Three hundred years ago, this village had only the surname Wu, and the surname Wang fled here later. The surname Wu was a major surname in Chu back then. I don't know where the other ancestors of Wu were from, but the surname Wu in this village originated from Tiangou. According to legend, in ancient times, the ghost carriage birds were evil people, and the auspicious beast Tiangou swallowed its strongest head and sealed it. Then he passed down his bloodline and guarded this seal for generations."
When Lin Yuexi heard this, he probably guessed something, but he was a little unbelievable. Could it be that there was really a ghost car bird?!
Sure enough, Wu Bogong continued: "Our family is a seal guardian of the Wu generation. However, in our generation, Tiangou's bloodline is getting thinner and thinner, and he has almost no special abilities. He is not much different from ordinary people. The only thing that can prove us is a piece of soul-locking jade inherited from the ancestors, which is also the key and medium for the sealing of the ghost car bird. A year ago, the soul-locking jade had an abnormal movement. Because there was no precedent for ancestors, our family didn't know what happened at all, but they also knew that the soul-locking jade was related to the ghost car seal. The soul-locking jade had an abnormal movement, and the ghost car seal might be abnormal. It was supposed to be that I went to investigate the ghost car seal, but unfortunately I was too old and my legs were inconvenient, so Dayong..." Speaking of this, Wu Bogong looked at the chair on the left and lowered his head.
Wu Dayong was full of tears, "So Dayong took my place, and Dayong's wife insisted on accompanying him. The two of them went away forever. Three days later, Dayong came back, but he was already dead, and what he returned was only soul. He told me that the seal of the Ghost Car Bird was loose because our clan had Tiangou bloodline. Although it was already thin, the Ghost Car Bird sensed it immediately. Therefore, although it was still sealed, it swallowed the soul of Dayong's wife through the loose seal. In the face of Dayong's grief, he used the ancestral blood curse, using his own essence and blood as a medium to strengthen the seal of the Ghost Car Bird. However, because the Tiangou bloodline of our clan is too thin, this reinforcement can only be temporary, so Dayong's soul came back."
At this time, Wu Dayong on the left chair seemed to have some sense, moved slightly, raised his head, his eyes flashing with a strange red color.
Seeing this, Lin Yuexi said in confusion: "I am frank, your son's soul seems to have changed now. It won't take me long to see that he will completely turn into a ghost."
Wu Dayong seemed to understand Lin Yuexi's words, and his whole body suddenly trembled, and at the same time he made a series of shrill crying like crying. His voice was full of reluctance and reluctance, but more of it was helpless.
I saw Wu Xiaojie, who had been standing next to him, immediately jogged at Wu Dayong when this change occurred. He was obviously not afraid at all. He only heard Wu Xiaojie shouting softly: "Dad, don't cry."
Just like when Wu Dayong was about to attack Lin Yuexi just now, Wu Dayong calmed down again after Wu Xiaojie called out.
Looking at such a pair of fathers and sons, Lin Yuexi was very complicated.
Wu Bogong said: "As you said, Dayong has begun to transform into a ghost, but this is completely impossible. After Dayong used his own essence, blood and soul to strengthen the seal of the Ghost Car Bird, because of the thin bloodline, this reinforcement can only be temporary. When he returned home and told me the whole story, he hoped to evacuate the people in the village, but the people in the village did not believe me at all and regarded me as a madman. As people who guarded the seal for generations, our clan has the responsibility to prevent the Ghost Car Bird from harming the world. Even though we have almost no power now, this
After all, it is our responsibility and we cannot escape at all. Therefore, in the end, I decided to use the method of nourishing the soul to supplement the soul power consumed by sealing the ghost car bird. This method of nourishing the soul is an extremely evil technique and must be provided with the vitality of a stranger. We can't use the people in the village to offer Da Yong, so we can only offer Da Yong with my own vitality. But I have long been a person who stepped into the coffin with half a foot, so how much vitality can I have to provide Da Yong with Da Yong. In desperation, I can only choose Xiaojie, who... he is still so young... but..." When it comes to this, Wu Bogong couldn't say anything.
Although Wu Xiaojie was not big, he was obviously very sensible and knew all of them. He trotted over again, pulled Wu Bogong's trouser legs, and said softly: "Grandpa... don't cry, I'm fine." Xiaojie seemed to have not spoken for too long, and his ability to speak has deteriorated a lot, making it difficult to be coherent.
Mr. Wu picked up Xiaojie and said, "You have seen it too. Now even Xiaojie has become such a person who is neither human nor ghost. The anger in his body is almost cut off. Originally, he should be able to jump in the sun like other children, but now he can only stay in the dark house every day."
Lin Yuexi suddenly felt that Xiaojie, who had originally looked like a cunning person, seemed no longer so terrifying. He was still so young and so sensible, and even willing to use his life to fulfill the responsibilities of their ancestors.
