Mortal Bones

Chapter 485: Meet the Descendants, My Father Must Have Been Murdered

Fairy Lingyue on the side glanced at the tombstone and saw that on the tombstone, which was carved from the leg bone of a black demonic beast, it was written very neatly "The Tomb of Xu Zhian" and the inscription was "The eldest grandson, Xu Taiping was established." .

Regarding Xu Taiping's grandfather Xu Zhian, Fairy Lingyue tried to contact her several times when she briefly woke up in the earth fruit, but every time she was about to talk to him, she was forced to fall into a deep sleep due to insufficient divine energy.

So she only knew that he was an old farmer who liked to follow rules, was honest, and often carried his grandson to the fields on his back.

"Crash..."

At this time, Xu Taiping took out a pot of ordinary spirits, sprinkled half of the pot on the dirt floor in front of the tombstone, and then drank the remaining half of the pot "Gulong Gulong" in one gulp.

"call……"

After letting out a long breath, Xu Taiping knelt down in front of the tomb very solemnly and kowtowed three times. Then he looked at the tombstone in front of him with a grin and said:

"Grandpa, my grandson is gone. Your grandson will definitely see all the mountain scenery you like for you!"

"If one day my grandson sees all the scenery on this mountain, he can go there and visit you again that day!"

Hearing Xu Taiping's promise to his grandfather Xu Zhian, a soft smile inexplicably appeared on Fairy Lingyue's face.

"Taiping is still the same Taiping."

Fairy Lingyue smiled and said secretly in her heart.

"Let's go, Sister Lingyue, to the Imperial City. We can't keep our senior brothers and sisters waiting."

At this time, Xu Taiping, who had already stood up, called Fairy Lingyue.

"Let's go."

Fairy Lingyue nodded first, then smiled helplessly and said:

"It seems that we have really been tricked by Lian Tong again."

"etc!"

Just when Fairy Lingyue returned to the gourd and Xu Taiping was preparing to leave Yufeng, a childish boy's voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"who?"

After hearing this sound, Xu Taiping was startled, and he immediately took out his cloud umbrella and opened it with a "bang".

"Snapped!"

At this moment, in the open space behind Grandpa Xu Taiping's grave, a piece of soil the size of a manhole cover was suddenly pushed away, revealing a dark hole.

Seeing the hole that was suddenly pushed open, Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue were shocked.

Because they had just repeatedly used their souls to sense, they had never noticed the existence of this cave.

Just as they were waiting, a small head wearing a bamboo hat suddenly poked out of the hole like a groundhog.

He is a little boy about ten years old.

But before Fairy Lingyue and Xu Taiping could see the little boy clearly, he retracted his head wearing a bamboo hat.

As soon as the little boy's head retracted into the hole, Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue could no longer sense any of his breath.

"The bamboo hat on this little doll's head seems to be a treasure that can shield the breath."

Fairy Lingyue suddenly said with certainty.

Xu Taiping nodded.

He also felt that the bamboo hat was a little strange.

"Little guy, are you from Qingniu Village?"

Xu Taiping tentatively asked the little boy.

"Your name is Xu Taiping, right?"

The little boy did not answer, but asked Xu Taiping.

"How do you know my name?"

Xu Taiping was a little surprised.

"You...you just need to answer me...yes or no!"

The little boy said in a somewhat nervous tone.

He still refused to stick his head out of the hole as he spoke.

"I am."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"You grew up in Qingniu Village, and then you were taken to the mountain by an immortal to practice Xu Taiping?"

the little boy asked again.

"yes."

Xu Taiping nodded again.

After hearing Xu Taiping's answer, the little boy suddenly stretched his head out of the hole, then grabbed the edge of the bamboo hat with both hands, stared at Xu Taiping warily and said:

"Since you are that Xu Taiping, then you must be almost sold to be a bookboy when you were picked up by the immortal, right?"

"I remember."

Xu Taiping nodded, carefully looked at the little boy's features, and found that he was quite similar to his cousin, Uncle Erniu's son.

"Is it possible..."

A guess gradually emerged in his mind.

"Then do you still remember how much silver your uncle and aunt sold you for?"

The little boy asked Xu Taiping again.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping did not answer, but stared at the little boy without blinking.

"You... tell me... more... how much silver?"

the little boy asked timidly.

"Thirty taels."

Xu Taiping looked at the little boy with a smile.

Hearing this, the eyes of the little boy wearing a bamboo hat suddenly lit up, and then he turned over and crawled out of the hole. He cried with joy and ran towards Xu Taiping and said:

"Great uncle, I finally see you!"

But just when the little boy was about to pounce on Xu Taiping, he was picked up by Xu Taiping with one hand.

"Are you a descendant of my uncle Xu Erniu?"

Xu Taiping asked with a smile while carrying the little boy.

"Well, well, well, that's my great-grandfather!..."

The little boy nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Your great-grandfather and the others..."

As soon as Xu Taiping said these words, he realized that this question was a bit stupid. After all, few mortals in the world live such a long life.

"Great-uncle, my great-uncle passed away before I was born. Grandpa passed away when I was six years old. Dad... daddy, he..."

The little boy seemed to have guessed what Xu Taiping wanted to ask, but before he finished speaking, his expression darkened.

"Your father died in this fire, right?"

Xu Taiping gently put the little boy down.

"right……"

The little boy nodded instinctively at first, then shook his head vigorously and said:

"No, no, my father and I both escaped the fire. After the fire was extinguished, my father found a villain who set the fire, so he placed me here while he chased the villain himself. As a result, I never came back..."

"That means your father is probably not dead yet?" Xu Taiping frowned.

"My father must...must have been killed."

The little boy's eyes were hot, and then he took out a longevity lock from his arms and handed it to Xu Taiping and said:

"My father told me before he left that if the lock breaks, it means he has been killed and I must not get out of the cave."

When he said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Taiping and said:

"Unless I meet you, my great-uncle."

"Don't worry, I'll know right away if your father is killed." Xu Taiping comforted the little boy, and then gently placed the hand engraved with the lotus pupil curse seal on the little boy's forehead.

Immediately, a picture entered his mind.

Regardless of whether this little boy is a descendant of his second uncle, Xu Taiping has to figure out what happened to him.
