Chapter 411 He is the Cannon Fodder Phoenix Man (51)
After He Shu heard the whole story and looked at the two people in front of him, his expression became a little complicated.
Although this sounds incredible, perhaps a normal person would think that Si Cen is crazy and talking nonsense after hearing this.
But He Shu believed him.
Not to mention anything else, just the note and talisman in his hand, he is the only one in the world who knows about them.
If it wasn't what Si Cen said, how did they know?
What's more, perhaps fearing that he wouldn't believe it, Si Cen directly pulled Rong Jue and drew a new talisman for him on the spot.
Rong Jue's drawing of the talisman seemed to be nonchalant, but when the last stroke was completed, the strong spiritual power condensed on the talisman made He Shu instantly feel his extraordinaryness.
"So this talisman is called the Soul Sealing Talisman."
He Shu looked at the new talisman with a gleam in his eyes. He said with great respect, "This is the talisman you created when you were ten years old. You are really amazing!"
Rong Jue had been praised and admired by countless people since he was a child, so he was not too affected by He Shu's words.
On the contrary, Si Cen heard this, put his hands on his waist proudly, raised his chin and said arrogantly, "My Rongrong is really amazing! How about you take out your treasure and lend it to us now?"
Seeing him like this, Rong Jue's eyes were filled with warmth.
He Shu nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course."
Then he got up and walked to the bed, bent down and pulled something out from under the bed.
After a while, he pulled out a small box with a lock on it.
He raised his butt again and found a key from under the end of the bed at another location and opened the lock.
Finally, he washed his hands solemnly, then took out the oil paper package wrapped in a plastic bag, and then peeled off the three layers of oil paper inside and outside, revealing the contents.
Si Cen: ...
He Shu is really so sad.
If only he had been born ten years earlier, he would have been able to catch the tail end of Xuanmen's heyday.
Hey.
The notebook was a cowhide book that looked very old. The paper was a little yellowed, and the edges in some places were rough from being rubbed over and over again.
Rong Jue took it and looked at it.
This book is even older than he thought. At first, the handwriting even looks childish. It can be seen that it was written by a young person who recorded his feelings.
But soon it began to record things related to the mystic arts.
Spells, formations, spells...
Write down any confusion you have and any insights you have.
There are also some observations, all kinds of things, a little bit of everything.
One of the articles was about how the ten-year-old Rong Jue could create his own talismans, and the article contained many flattering words for Rong Jue.
Rong Jue read it very quickly, and closed the notebook after a few minutes. He nodded to his boss Cen's curious gaze, "I think I should know who wrote this."
He Shu was actually very curious about the identity of the crazy old man.
Based on what the crazy old man did before he died, he also realized that he must be a remarkable person.
The crazy old man not only had a relationship of mutual dependence with him, but also had a master-disciple relationship with him. He thought that if he knew who he was and what his name was, he could at least go back to the grave where he was buried and add his name on the tombstone.
"His name is Zhang Daoyi. He was supposed to be the 73rd head of the Zhang family, but... he disappeared."
Si Cen sighed, "If he was the candidate for the Zhang family's patriarch, why did he disappear and become a crazy old man wandering around?"
Rong Jue said, "Back then, Zhang Daoyi was born with amazing talent. When he was barely able to walk, his spiritual power was already overwhelming the entire Xuan Sect, and he was unrivaled. Naturally, the Zhang family's status in the entire Xuan Sect also rose because of him.
Unfortunately, just when everyone thought he would lead the Zhang family to a more glorious era, he was severely injured in an ordinary mission to eliminate evil spirits. From then on, his strength continued to decline, and soon he fell to a point where ordinary Heavenly Masters could beat him. He faded out of the sight of the Xuanmen people at that time, and the Zhang family became silent as a result. "
He Shu felt a sense of regret after hearing this, as if he could relate to the Zhang Daoyi of that year.
Although Rong Jue did not explain it in detail, he could imagine what a devastating blow it would be for someone like Zhang Daoyi, who was born with extraordinary talent and became famous at a young age, to fall from the clouds to the mud overnight.
"Later, it was rumored that Zhang Daoyi had become a little crazy. The Zhang family thought he was a disgrace and restricted him from appearing in public. Then, news of his disappearance spread. The Zhang family didn't seem to take his disappearance seriously, so naturally, no one else cared, and the matter was left unresolved."
Not only that, for the Zhang family who attaches so much importance to talent and strength, they probably wished that Zhang Daoyi had died in that mission. It would be better than becoming completely ordinary and useless after suffering a serious blow.
They felt that Zhang Daoyi had brought shame to the Zhang family and disgraced the Zhang family's reputation, so much so that even the unborn child in Zhang Daoyi's wife's belly was taken out on - of course, if the child was also gifted after birth, the anger would not be taken out on him so much.
Unfortunately, the child was born with mediocre talents. Apart from his unusually keen spiritual perception, he had no other outstanding qualities.
Even as a descendant of the Zhang family, he has been extremely timid and afraid of ghosts since childhood, which is extremely shameful.
In addition, since he had such a shameful father, he was naturally even less welcome in the Zhang family.
If the Zhang family had not been so small, as if they were destined not to have children, and if that child had not been the only one in their generation, the Zhang family would have probably kicked this shameful youngster out of the family long ago.
Si Cen had never expected, "So Zhang Daoyi is actually Zhang San's father?"
Rong Jue nodded, tapping the notebook subconsciously, "The incident of Zhang Daoyi being seriously injured was actually very strange. The Zhang family did investigate it, but they didn't find anything."
Rong Jue was still young at that time, and he only heard about these things later.
Si Cen touched his chin and said, "I always feel that Zhang Daoyi is the kind of sweeping monk who hides a big secret."
When Rong Jue heard him muttering like this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He also felt that all this seemed a bit coincidental, as if it was arranged, so since he was brought here, he thought about checking it out.
I guess the reason why Cen Cen insisted on dragging me to meet He Shu wasn't just as simple as what he said, which was to fulfill He Shu's dream.
He Shu listened to Zhang Daoyi's life story and felt mixed emotions.
"I can't believe that the crazy old man who fought with me for a chicken leg actually had so many difficult and tortuous experiences."
He hesitated for two seconds, then suddenly said, "I want to go back and repair his grave. Do you two want to go with me?"
Si Cen and Rong Jue looked at each other, and they both felt at the same time, "What a coincidence, it's as if all these developments were calculated by an invisible hand, pushing us step by step to where we are now."
Si Cen nodded, "Go, go~"
