Chapter 482 Past Events

I came to the door of the Shi family again. Because it was already night, the surroundings had become quiet, but only the lights were still on in front of the Shi family. The door was open, and a figure sitting at the door was a little conspicuous in the lights, as if they were waiting patiently for the returnee.

"My husband!"

The wife of the Shi family had noticed that it was her husband from afar. She felt happy and guilty and hurriedly walked forward.

"My wife, you're back!" Shi Zengyan still looked as weak as she had seen before, and she was a little weak. She obviously had not recovered from her long illness. When she saw the lady who was returning home, she seemed to feel relieved and said with a smile.

However, when his eyes slightly changed, he noticed Taoist priest Tian and a pair of strange men and women who followed him, his face couldn't help but show some confusion.

"Master Tian? These two other..." he asked in confusion.

Qingdai took the initiative to say, "To be honest, the little girl is Qingdai. This is Ye Hancheng. We are all friends of Taoist Principal Tian. We met your wife by chance today and had a great chat, so we accidentally missed some time."

"So that's it." Shi Zengyan nodded slightly, then turned his curious eyes to Taoist Tian.

"I came together today because I wanted to ask Mr. Shi for some important things, but I wonder if it is possible?" Taoist Tian had no intention of hiding it and showed the travel notes written by Taoist Qinghong that he brought.

Shi Zengyan's eyes narrowed, and then his eyelids drooped slightly, and he nodded: "It's cold at night and the room is warmer. Why not come in and talk about it in detail..."

After entering the room, the wife of the Shi family used to cook water and make tea, while Shi Zengyan was entertaining several people and asked, "I don't know what I want to ask? If there is anything I know, I will definitely tell you."

Master Tian took out the book and placed it on the table. He skillfully turned out the last few pages, and used his fingertips to pass through the lines of words describing the treasure. He asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Shi, do you know whether your father once said about this treasure in this book?"

"According to what I guess, this thing may be related to the disaster here and is of great importance. Please try your best to inform me!"

He solemnly asked.

Shi Zengyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't know much about this."

"My father had been wandering around the world for some years, killing demons everywhere, and the chance to go home was extremely rare. But one day, he suddenly returned home and brought me and my mother to live in Peishan City. He began to teach me the Dharma very rarely."

"Although I was not old at that time, I was very keen from a young age. I could see the worry under my father's resolute expression. I guessed that something was so amazing that this hero with a profound Taoist craftsmanship felt helpless."

"At that time, my father seemed to have intentionally waited for me to succeed in learning, so he told me everything. But unfortunately, my qualifications in Taoism were very dull. Even the simplest Taoist technique took a lot of time and I didn't have time to fully accept my father's inheritance."

"Gradually, my father no longer urged me to learn Taoism, and it seemed that he had given up."

Speaking of these, Shi Zengyan gradually showed a look of melancholy in her expression. Obviously, she still feels a regret for the disappointment that his father was disappointed. His feelings for that father were not just a simple family affection, but more of a respect for a world-famous hero.

Under such circumstances, he could not pass on all the skills of this hero, so he naturally felt ashamed.

Then, he changed his subject and began to talk about an important thing: "Before my father was ill and died in bed, he did not tell me what the purpose of coming here was. But he told me one thing, that is, I would go to a specific location on a mountain outside the city every month to paste talismans, as if to seal something."

"That's it!" Taoist Tian suddenly felt refreshed and listened to him continue to speak with concentration.

"In the past few years, I would go up the mountain regularly to check every month and replace some spells that have faded or damaged, and paste new spells, so I dare not get tired of it."

When he said this, the wife of the Shi family behind him had already walked out with the brewed tea, and gently served everyone a cup of tea, and then looked at her husband with soft eyes, as if she was endlessly tired of watching.

Shi Zengyan took a sip of tea, but when she talked about what happened next, her expression became a little heavy: "It was just a few years ago, when I went up the mountain, I found a big black python entrenched on the tree, as if she was about to tear up the talismans, and a bird was trying to stop it, but because of her lack of strength, she was knocked to the ground and injured..."

"I hurried up to use Taoist law to subdue the python, both to save the bird and to protect the spells from destruction."

"However, the python is very powerful, and may be almost a monster. Although my Taoist Technique barely knocked him away, I was accidentally injured and fell into the root of this body..."

When he said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he seemed to feel a little uncomfortable in his throat and coughed twice. The wife of the Shi family beside him hurriedly stroked his shoulder gently to make him feel a little better.

Shi Zengyan glanced at his wife with a gentle look, and then said again: "It is precisely because of that body injury that I can't continue to be a Taoist priest, and I don't have the opportunity to explore what my father said in this travel notation. What's worse is that when I tried to post talismans on the mountain again, I found that every night, all the talismans were burned down!"

"Even when I wanted to go up the mountain again, I felt the ultimate sense of danger, which made me feel like a ray of light on my back, as if something was spying on my secretly, ready to take the head on my neck at any time, as if there was some force stopping me from continuing to post the talisman."

He smiled bitterly again and said, "The injury became more and more serious later. It was very difficult for me to go out and walk a few steps away. In the end, I still couldn't post talismans on the mountain. I don't know what the situation is now."

"But in fact, as far as I guess, maybe that thing should be related to this disaster, but I have never had a clear grasp of it."

"It's actually like this..." Taoist Tian was stunned, frowned and fell into deep thought.
