Chapter 168 Inheritance
On this day, the two of them were chatting.
"Dad, what do you think the outside world will be like?" Shitou said.
Since all kinds of strange pictures appeared in his mind, deep in his heart, he had a strong interest and yearning for the place covered by fog.
If there were no bonds, he might walk into that place without hesitation.
Instead of doing meaningless things here, it is better to go inside and have a look, and let the last remaining light of life bloom.
"Do you really want to know?" Suddenly, Shi Zhiyuan changed the subject and became serious.
This is an expression that Shitou has never seen before. Could it be that there are any secrets hidden in places that he doesn't know about?
"Of course I do," Shitou said.
"Follow me." Shi Zhiyuan said.
Shitou didn't know why, but he followed him into the house.
It was mysterious, and it seemed like something not simple at first glance. Maybe it could be corroborated with the pictures in his memory.
After entering the house, Shi Zhiyuan pressed a switch, revealing a secret door, and walked straight in. He followed quickly. After they all went in, he closed the secret door from the inside. Except for the two people who disappeared, everyone in the house Everything is business as usual here.
Behind the secret door, there is an ordinary room.
There are several tablets enshrined in the middle, with names written on them. On the table in front of the tablets, there are several books that look very dated. It seems that they have experienced the erosion of the years and become what they are now. Like.
"Kneel down and offer incense to our ancestors," Shi Zhiyuan said.
As he spoke, he lit incense beside him and handed it to Shitou, who followed him.
"Everything you want to know is in the books. Over the years, no one has come back after entering the foggy area. It's just that they died within a few days of coming back. There are records in the books. Read it yourself." Shi Zhiyuan said.
After letting Shitou read it by himself, he left here first. After Shitou understands the contents of the book, if he still has the idea of entering it, then let him go.
There are three books in total, one of which is called "Compendium of Materia Medica".
There's nothing fancy about this, it's just Shi Zhiyuan's family medical skills, and Shi Shi himself has learned some of them.
The other one is a miscellaneous note about a mountain village. After looking through it, I found that the content of this book can be traced back to an extremely long time ago. It is revised every ten years, which means that the content of the book is pushed forward ten years.
From the beginning, one hundred thousand years ago.
This shocked him. The mountain village had existed for so long?
The key point is that this is the second chapter. The first chapter is written without counting the year, and the content is very small. What it is specifically about is not clearly stated. It may be about things that happened one hundred thousand years ago, which has long been unverifiable.
And he discovered that people here, every thousand years, will completely lose their memories of a thousand years ago, except for the people who wrote this book, namely Shi Zhiyuan's family.
Over the years, there have been many outsiders. For example, several of his neighbors are the descendants of those outsiders. In other words, the only aborigines here are Shi Zhiyuan's family.
From scratch, we have developed step by step to where we are today.
Finally, there is the Mist Exploration Notes.
One hundred thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Shi family stepped into the foggy area and brought back the herbal medicine scriptures, as well as several outsiders.
Like Shitou, he is an "ordinary person" who has never left the mountain village in his life.
This ancestor had very few descriptions of the foggy area, but only a few words, saying that the foggy area was endless darkness, with corpses everywhere and no signs of life.
After writing this book, the ancestor of the Shi family died of illness at the age of fifty.
From then on, every time a member of the Shi family reached the age of fifty, they would enter that place to explore, hoping to find something that would be helpful to the next generation. Even if they died, they would be willing to do so.
Shi Zhiyuan is now in his forties, which means that in a few months, he will enter the foggy area to explore. No wonder he brought Shitou to this place when he asked about these things.
He just wants Shitou to inherit the secrets here after he leaves.
This is a kind of mission. The mission of the Shi family’s existence cannot be cut off at this point.
Continue down.
Seventy thousand years ago, countless generations of ancestors entered the foggy area.
I got a book called Qi Refining, which is said to give people terrifying power and the ability to move mountains and fill seas.
But after bringing it back, it can only help the people here to strengthen their bodies and make them less susceptible to diseases. That's all. Now in the village, every household is learning...gymnastics.
Although it is not as scary as the introduction, it has also changed their physical fitness, and more and more of them have survived. Few people have died of illness, just because of this thing.
But as time passed, Shi Zhiyuan was the only one who performed this set of actions, called Qi Refining Technique.
Thirty thousand years ago, another ancestor benefited greatly from it.
He said that he saw a huge island there, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, and full of spring.
It seemed as if there were gods playing.
Then when he passed by, the place disappeared again, but an inexplicable power appeared in him, warm and warm. After searching to no avail, he returned here, and his life span reached an astonishing eighty years. , breaking the half-century curse of death for the Shi family.
After that, hundreds of ancestors came out alive one after another. Except for that one, all others died. As for where they went after their death, no one knows.
After reading, I closed the book and walked out.
"Have you finished reading it?" Shi Zhiyuan was already waiting for him outside the door.
"Where else do you want to go now?"
"think."
"why?"
"If there really is a god, maybe Wanwan can come back."
"..."
Shi Zhiyuan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Shitou, you are still young, so you are not in a hurry, but I am different. There are still three months left, and I should get over it. Following in the footsteps of my ancestors, I want to get rid of you for one thing." Shi Zhiyuan said.
"Dad, let me go for you."
"No, if you go, the inheritance of my Shi family will be cut off. I hope you will renew your relationship, have a child named Shi, and hand this place over to him."
Inheritance is particularly important.
And misfortune always befalls the Shi family. When Shi Wanwan was just fifteen years old, her mother passed away. Not long after Wanwan got married, she also passed away, and now they are the only two left. , he will be going to that place soon, whether he can come out alive or not is one thing, so some things must be explained.
"No, I absolutely can't do this." Shitou said.
"This is my plea, okay? Shitou." Shi Zhiyuan said.
This put him in a dilemma and he didn't know how to reply.
"If you don't speak, I will assume that you agree." Shi Zhiyuan said.
In fact, subconsciously, he was saying that as long as Shitou promised, everything here would be meaningless after he went there.
