Chapter 28: The Mystery of Life Experience (2)
Jiang Shili still remembered that when he saw his adoptive father for the last time, he dragged his seriously injured body back home. At the last moment of his life, Jiang Shili remembered every word that his adoptive father said to Jiang Shili.
"Li'er, I don't know about your life experience, the only clue is this knife."
"The person who handed you over to me once said that this knife is ominous, but it is your life... When you pull it out one day, it is the time for you to leave."
"No one can pull this knife out except you! But I hope that you will never pull it out the day."
"Although you are not my biological child, I have no children and always treat you as my biological child."
"I have no resentment when I have life and death... If you really want to leave one day, please help the Jiang family for my sake."
Although Jiang Shili himself is not a person from this world, since he lives here, he is destined to be unable to kill some cause and effect.
The adoptive father said before his death, there was too much information, but it was undoubtedly extremely difficult to really figure out these things out.
According to the adoptive father, the person who gave him to him must not be his biological parents, but that person is very familiar with the broken knife. So who is he?
The so-called "no one can pull out this knife except yourself", and this knife is ominous, but it is also his own life. What kind of secrets does it contain?
Jiang Shili didn't draw his sword at the beginning and didn't care much about these things, but now, after truly feeling the strangeness of the broken sword, how could he not want to make all this clear?
After all, now, every moment, my soul will actually be swallowed by the God of Death mark. Although it is slow, it forces me to kill people constantly to make up for the loss of my soul. If I can't figure out these things, I will never be able to get rid of this curse-like situation.
Although his adoptive father said that life and death were destined to be dead and he had no resentment, it was obvious that he did not die normally, but was seriously injured and could not be cured. Jiang Shili was unknown at the time and was not at all concerned about it. He was just an ordinary boy who could not consider these issues, but now, he is qualified to ask clearly.
"You finally asked!" After a moment of silence, the ancestor of the Jiang family said slowly, "Since you want to know, then come with me."
Strongly standing up from the chair, the ancestor of the Jiang family slowly walked towards the inner courtyard, his pace was very slow and heavy.
He stopped others from following, and even Jiang Shishi was stopped by the Jiang family ancestor, leaving Jiang Shili alone in the study.
Pulling the books off the bookshelf and at the corner, I took out a black box. The box seemed to be very heavy, and there were faint rusts on the lock. It was obviously for many years.
"Your father said that this box was also left by the original person, and told him not to give it to you unless you draw out the broken knife."
A trace of memory appeared in his eyes, and the ancestor of the Jiang family continued, "I don't know who that person is, but from your father's tone, I could hear that the man was very powerful, so powerful that even if he said casually, he would not dare to have any trace of rebellion."
"I also wanted to open it, but one was unwilling to go against your father's wishes. Moreover, every time I touched this box, I felt an inexplicable fear in my heart. It seemed that as long as I opened it, it would bring huge disasters to the Jiang family."
"I'm still hesitating today whether to give it to you. Since you asked, I have no reason to keep it."
A trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes. Jiang Shili stared at the seemingly ordinary box, but suddenly a huge wave broke out in his heart. The ancestor of the Jiang family could not see it, but he could clearly sense it. The aura emitted from the box was exactly the aura that belonged to the underworld like the Broken Sword.
Carefully took the box, Jiang Shili gently touched the rusty lock with his fingers. The true energy in his body slowly flowed. Almost in an instant, a terrifying suction suddenly burst out, and Jiang Shili's eyes suddenly turned black, as if he was wrapped in an absolute darkness.
"Buzz!"
Almost at the same time, the broken knife in his body made a sound uncontrollably, and the mark of death between his eyebrows flashed away, and the aura belonging to the underworld came out, and the lock on the box naturally fell off, and all the aura seemed to disappear cleanly in an instant.
The ancestor of the Jiang family suddenly trembled in his heart, and a layer of cold sweat oozed out of his vest.
Even though the aura that bloomed from the box and Jiang Shili was fleeting, it was enough to make him feel that terrifying sense of oppression. There was no doubt that if the person who touched this power was not Jiang Shili but him, he would have been dead long ago.
Not to mention how the ancestor of the Jiang family reacted, Jiang Shili, who had opened the box at this moment, seemed to be wrapped in darkness. In the darkness in front of him, there was a young man's light and shadow. Even in the absolute darkness, Jiang Shili could still see clearly.
"My child, if you can see me, it means that you have pulled out the broken knife and embarked on this road of no return."
"As you think, this knife is not owned by the human world, but a magic weapon from the underworld. It can bring you powerful power and is also attached to a fatal curse. You must constantly improve your strength in order to survive and at the same time unlock its secrets bit by bit. This is a road to no return. From when you pull it out, there will be no way back."
"I know you have many problems, but unfortunately, I don't have time to explain it to you. Remember to keep your heart and not be lost by the power it brings. If you can go far enough, all the answers will be solved, and we may still have a day to see you again."
"I am very conflicted at this moment. I hope we will have a day of meeting again, but I am afraid that you will die on this road of no return. Therefore, I have someone send you to a small and ordinary family and hand your destiny into your own hands. No matter what, my child, I wish you good luck."
After the last sentence, the light and shadow of the young man also dissipated. The next moment, the endless darkness also receded. Jiang Shili returned to reality again. The box in his hand had been opened, and all the breath had dissipated. Only a gray ring was left lying calmly in the box.
He took out the ring carefully and put it on his hand. In an instant, Jiang Shili suddenly felt a stinging pain in his fingers with the ring. A trace of blood penetrated out of his fingers, and then it was swallowed by the ring! In a few breaths, the ring that swallowed blood seemed to have opened the seal, and its gray appearance was broken, bursting out a brilliant blue light, and it turned into a light blue ordinary ring.
The thought subconsciously attached to the ring, and Jiang Shili suddenly realized that there was a space similar to a study room inside the ring!
Space ring!
Even as a time traveler, Jiang Shili had a certain amount of guesses in his mind, and when he really felt that he was still shocked and speechless.
What kind of world is this? Or, what is your own life experience?
I originally thought that I could get some results by opening the box, but now I am even more confused.
With a bitter smile, Jiang Shili silently pulled his attention back to reality.
"How did his father die?"
Jiang Shili no longer intends to ask about his life experience. Not to mention the ancestor of the Jiang family, I am afraid that even if his adoptive father is still alive, he will not give any unnecessary explanation at all.
On the contrary, it was the death of the adoptive father, and the ancestor of the Jiang family should know something.
"When you were fighting for the cultivation resources, you should know that the Jiang family said it was aristocratic family, but in fact, it was just a very small family. Your father was only innately powerful before his death, and he didn't even know what the disciple of the Blood Talisman Sect was named. That's why he said that life and death are destined."
He sighed silently, Jiang Shili didn't say anything after all.
Originally, he did have the intention of helping his adoptive father take revenge, but now after hearing this, he realized that there is no way to avenge this revenge! To put it bluntly, his adoptive father was just a little person, and this result was just a tragedy of the little person.
Perhaps, everyone has a heroic dream in their hearts, and always hopes that their father is an amazing person. Even if they die, they are killed by conspiracy, and when they grow up, they can kill their enemies.
Unfortunately, most of the plots like inspirational revenge only exist in the stories.
Perhaps now, the only thing I can do for my adoptive father is to take good care of Xiao Shi, her sister and the Jiang family.
As for the past, the dissatisfaction and resentment towards some people in the Jiang family seemed to have passed away with the wind.
The height of the station is different, and the perspective of looking at the problem is different. In Jiang Shili's eyes today, the Jiang family is just the Jiang family, just the family the adoptive father wants to take care of. It has nothing to do with his own emotions, but just to fulfill his adoptive father's last wish.
Walking out of the room slowly, Jiang Shili said softly, "Don't worry, I will take care of the Jiang family. As long as I am still here, the Jiang family will not be destroyed."
Jiang Shili did not look back. Although the ancestor of the Jiang family told Jiang Shishi that he would not die for the time being, Jiang Shili knew very well that with the age and body of the ancestor of the Jiang family, he had lost his innate power and had already exhausted his energy and could not hold on for long.
The reason why I have been persisting is that in addition to telling myself these things that need to be explained is that I want to get a promise from myself.
Now, I have made a promise.
When leaving the room, Jiang Shili could already feel the vitality of the Jiang family ancestor dissipating and did not look back, but Jiang Shili seemed to be able to feel that the Jiang family ancestor had a smile on his face at this moment.
