Chapter 47 Memories of the Peak
(Please collect and recommend)
Hu Guiyang had a dream as he wished. He dreamed of more than ten years ago. He and many children stood on the mountain, waiting for a long-prepared sacrifice. However, for some reason, the sacrifice failed. The main priest in the middle was furious and scolded him...
He couldn't remember what happened next. The dream was too short to restore all the memories.
"Shen Shen Peak, it's the name." Hu Guiyang walked towards everyone, and felt ache all over his body every step, especially his feet, as if he had sprained. "Many children almost died on it. After escaping by chance, they fell into the hands of eunuchs. Most of them were castrated, and only a very small number of them were rescued by their adoptive father."
No one of the adopted sons present had similar memories. They forgot about the past and could not confirm whether Hu Guiyang's statement was accurate.
"Who was the assassin just now?" Hu Guijian asked.
"Assassin?" Hu Guiyang looked confused. He had just woken up and recovered his memory from more than ten years ago, but he knew nothing about what had just happened.
Hu Guijian briefly talked about the scene where Hu Guiyang was manipulated, and at the same time showed his injured arm.
Hu Guiyang also raised his arms and used the nearby lanterns to see that he had traces of thin ropes in the same position. On one side, he was slightly deeper and almost bleeding, but on the other side, he was lighter, with only a faint circle.
"My sister didn't use all her strength." He Wu said, pointing to the shallower arm.
"Someone wants to complete the sacrifice of that year. The assassin may be one of the priests of that year. In my impression, there are seven or eight adults standing on the altar in the middle."
Fan Dajian, a Taoist priest from Lingji Palace, said: "As Lord Hu said, it must have been an evil sacrifice in the past, and demons will appear together. You are in danger and you must make plans early."
If it weren't for being silent on the roof, Fan Dajian would have a bit of majesty, but now no one takes his words seriously.
Hu Guijian asked again: "It happened more than ten years ago. Even if those people escaped the encirclement of officers and soldiers, why are they coming to assassinate us survivors now? And... why do we start with the third and sixth brothers?"
"This is all a problem that we need to find out." Hu Guiyang turned to the old fifth man Hu Guimeng, "If there is no accident, someone should be following the assassin, right?"
"Yes." Hu Guimeng refused to say a word.
"Okay, then that's it. Thank you for coming to help. I'm fine now, let's disperse."
Hu Gui bowed his hand violently, but still said nothing, turned around and left. Most people followed him, and some others stayed.
Hu Guijian took two steps closer and pointed at Xiaoqianyuan with his eyes, "Isn't it dangerous?"
"Don't worry." Hu Guiyang smiled.
Hu Guijian also said goodbye, Li Banduo had already left with the others, leaving only He Wu Madman and the old Taoist Fan Dajian. The former lived here, while the latter had nowhere to go for the time being. He had to wait until dawn to return to Lingji Palace.
"Why does the antidote fail? It is logical that you should be awakened in at most a quarter of an hour." Fan Dajian himself asked a question first.
Hu Guiyang didn't care, "Anyway, I woke up, it doesn't matter sooner or later. He Wu... a madman, send Master Dao to the front yard to rest."
"Leave you here alone?" He Wu's crazy man looked alert. He was not worried about Hu Guiyang, but his sister in the yard.
"Are you afraid that I will take too much action?" Hu Guiyang teased.
"Tsk, you? Ten are not my sister's opponents." He Wu's madman was not very worried and grabbed the old Taoist's arm, "Let's go, there are many rooms in the front yard, you can choose whatever you want."
Fan Dajian didn't want to leave, but he couldn't twist He Wu's madman, so he had to go forward and turned his head and said, "Mr. Hu, demons come out together, mortals can't stop it. Lingji Palace can help you, we..."
The old Taoist was pulled out of the backyard.
Li Bandu came from the front yard and asked He Wu to be crazy and the old Taoist to bow to Hu Guiyang: "A guard was killed, and the others were stunned. Now it's okay."
"One more?"
"yes."
"You can set it up first, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Yes." Li Bantu wanted to speak but stopped, but finally he didn't speak and turned back to the front yard.
Hu Guiyang led everyone away, closed the door and bolted it, and turned around and walked towards the small cross-yard.
The gate of the courtyard was closed, and Hu Guiyang stood outside the door without knocking on the door, and said directly: "Who are you?"
After a while, a sighed from the door, "You still haven't remembered it."
"I remember you were also on the top of the mountain. Although I couldn't see it, I remember you should be standing behind me, not far away. All of these are not remembered yet." Hu Guiyang had a strange feeling, like a wanderer who had been away from home for many years, finally returning home. Things change, and what he saw in his eyes was so familiar, but they were not the same as in his memory.
"We - were we very familiar at that time?" Hu Guiyang asked.
A very slight laughter came from the door, "I'm quite familiar with each other. At that time, many children were locked in a yard, and they couldn't be familiar with each other."
"Do you remember everything in the past?"
"Like normal people, some remember some, some don't."
"Then who do you remember me?"
"Um."
Hu Guiyang was waiting for the answer behind, but there was no sound in the door. He was about to speak when a madman He Wu heard from a distance: "Open the door! Why close the door?"
Hu Guiyang didn't move, the answer was too important to him.
"I can't say it now." replied inside the door.
"Why?"
"Because your memory has not been completely restored, it should not be affected in any way. After listening to my words today, how can you confirm the authenticity of the memory in the future?"
Hu Guiyang wanted to ask again, but the Sanjie He inside said, "As sooner or later, you will remember it, you will all."
"I'm afraid we won't live that day."
"Please hold the true fire token and hold on."
There was no sound in the door, only Madman He Wu was still threatening loudly, ordering Hu Guiyang to open the door immediately.
The yellow dog cake came out again at some point, holding the wooden sign in his mouth.
Hu Guiyang took the wooden sign, but his doubts were not resolved, so he slowly walked towards the front yard.
With a bang, He Wu Crazy broke into the door and saw that Hu Guiyang did not enter the small yard, he was relieved, but his anger did not diminish slightly, "Why close the door? Why don't you open the door?"
Hu Guiyang smiled slightly, "You are standing on the left, two people separated from me. Strange, you didn't seem to be lame at that time."
The crazy man He Wu became confused with anger, "Are you talking to me?"
"So you are like us, and you don't remember anything." Hu Guiyang shook his head and walked towards the front yard.
"Wait." He Wu Crazy pointed to the wing opposite the small yard, "You have to stay in the backyard, otherwise my sister will not be able to protect you."
"Okay." Hu Guiyang chose a casual room and turned around and said, "Why are you here to accompany me?"
"Look at you, you are too close to my sister, I have to be careful."
Hu Guiyang laughed loudly, and didn't light the lights, sat on the kang in the dark, "Why are you guarding against me?"
"Of course, I'm going to prevent you from bullying my sister."
"Your sister can control others with a thread. It's almost a magic trick. Are you afraid of a mortal like me?"
"It's not the same thing. My sister has to use the equipment to control the shape in a line, so you have to stay in the backyard. If it's far away, the equipment will not be able to reach it. But if it's too close, my sister...why do I say this? In short, I have to be on guard against you."
Hu Guiyang didn't remember the situation he was under control. He just listened to the story of the Thirteenth Brother Hu Guijian, and he understood in his heart, "The person on the roof is useless."
"Yes, I don't understand either. That person is really amazing. My sister can't do it."
"But their 'spells' are the same?"
He Wu Crazy Sitting on the other end of the kang, silent for a while, and replied: "There are so many strange things. My father actually jumped over the wall on the ground. He is still a big figure of the Vulcan Sect. He didn't reveal to me at all, now he is missing again. It's really... My sister has changed. For some reason, she insists on marrying you, but my father doesn't even object. My sister's magic trick was taught by the gods and masters. She said it was a secret that was passed down by me. Even I don't know how to do it. As a result, another one came tonight. The magic trick seemed to be even more powerful than my sister."
He Wu's madman was more confused than Hu Guiyang, far beyond his ability to bear it. He suddenly slapped heavily on the edge of the kang, "It's all you!"
"I? What does it have to do with me?"
"Since my sister decided to marry you, strange things have been one after another, so everything is your fault."
"As a result, since I met you, I have encountered more strange things and I have almost been killed. Did you plan it?"
He Wu was speechless and said for a while: "You are not worthy of my sister."
Hu Guiyang laughed twice, fell to sleep, and Madman He Wu waited for a while before lying down.
Hu Guiyang really wanted to enter the dream again, but he had already had a sleep, and was not very sleepy. He held the so-called true fire token in his hand. He felt that everything that had happened these days was not true, and almost shook the belief he had established since childhood.
"How did the adoptive father persevere?"
The next morning, Hu Guiyang had just gotten up, and the old Taoist Fan Dajian came over to say goodbye, and reminded him: "I figured it out that the reason why Lord Hu's antidote was delayed for a while is because this is your second time taking the Demon Pill. The magical medicine is hard to measure. Please don't take it easily, and let me talk about it after a while."
"How long does that last?"
"Three months? Half a year? I'll go back to Lingji Palace to ask." Fan Dajian bowed his hand and said goodbye, his sleeves fluttering, and he looked more like a god descending to earth than at night.
The eunuch Yun Dan arrived early in the morning and was already surprised to hear what happened last night. "Mr. Hu is right. There is indeed a sacrifice peak in Duan Teng Gorge. When I arrived, I heard that there was an evil sacrifice at the top of the peak. The traitor intended to turn the situation around the war, but he was defeated by the officers and soldiers. Several priests should have been beheaded, so why are there still some left?"
"Duan Tengxia... Do you still remember Liang Tiegong?" Hu Guiyang asked.
Yun Dan's face changed slightly and he replied honestly: "Remember."
"He was burning himself at the Sacrifice Peak back then, right? But he was not dead."
Yun Dan's face changed several times, and finally said, "He lied to me back then. It was not until last year that I learned that his pseudonym He Baiwan was back in the capital, but there was no contact. Lord Hu felt that he was related to the assassin last night?"
If the assassin was sent by He Mian, why did he ask his daughter to provide protection? If the assassin had nothing to do with him, why was the "Tian Ji" used almost the same as He Sanjie'er?
Hu Guiyang couldn't think of the answer.
Thirteenth Lang Hu Guijian hurried over, "The fifth brother found out the whereabouts of the assassin. Do you want to go together with me?"
