Zombie World: Helping the World

Chapter 373 The Mysterious Past

Daoist Jiang at the side was also a little curious, and asked: "Master Tao, what kind of secret is it? Let people like Heishamen go to great lengths to find you?"

Wang Dian on the side also said: "Hmph, not to mention Heishamen, even Fang Xueyan 15 years ago, I'm afraid he came here for this matter!"

"I hate this secret. It killed the young lady, and now it's going to kill the eldest and second young masters!" After he finished speaking, his eyes were full of anger.

Wang Dian has been by Mrs. Tao's side for almost 20 years. He is considered a godson by Mrs. Tao.

"Forget it, the two Taoist priests go back to rest first. Let me go back and think about it, and I will tell the two Taoist priests tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Tao asked the remaining loyal butler under his hand to send a plate of silver to Daoist Jiang and Qin Song before letting them go back.

After lunch, the night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Old Master Tao formally summoned Qin Song, Jiang Daochang and Xiao Peng again in the living room.

Old Mr. Tao had messy hair, his eyes were red, his eye sockets were black, and he was a little depressed. It was obvious that he didn't have a good rest last night.

Old Mrs. Tao had a sad and dull expression on his face, only the eyes rolled occasionally, which made him look like a living person.

He looked at Qin Song and the others, and said slowly, "Aren't you all curious about what the secret is?"

Qin Song and Daoist Jiang nodded, including Wang Dian, who was standing beside him, also looked away.

Old Mrs. Tao sighed and said: "Originally, I wanted to take this secret to the coffin. My father said that in my generation, everything should be over. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, let me stop Marry a wife and have children, or you will suffer disaster."

"But not only did I marry a wife and have children, but I also made a family for them. Thinking about it now, I actually hurt them."

As Old Master Tao said, his eye sockets were already moist.

Qin Song turned his head and said, "Master Tao, can you tell me in detail what's going on?"

Old Master Tao's eyes flickered, and he seemed to have returned to the long past. He said to Qin Song and the others: "It starts with my great-grandfather."

"My great-grandfather's name is Tao Tianyang. He was originally from Shanxi, but he fled all the way to Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"At the time of my great-grandfather, there was a war and a famine, causing more than [-] cities along the route to starve to death."

"He is also blessed with great destiny, and he came to our place by avoiding the rebels and robbers all the way."

"However, when he came, he had already lost one hand and was seriously ill. He only had a broken bowl with him. It seemed that he would not be able to survive."

"At that time, my great-grandfather met a group of people and hired him to work as a tracker in Southeast Cambodia."

"My great-grandfather was about to starve to death at that time, and they gave food and money, so of course I agreed."

As Old Master Tao spoke, he fell into memories.

At that time, Tao Tianyang didn't know the real purpose of those people hiring him.

Tao Tianyang took a boat all the way and entered the country from the Lancang Mekong River.At that time, wars broke out everywhere, and there were no officers and soldiers who could control their group of smugglers.

Tao Tianyang followed those people all the way to Cambodia and entered a deep mountain.

Later, when he came back, Tao Tianyang was the only one left, and Tao Tianyang's severed hand was miraculously connected, and his illness was cured.

He didn’t know where he got a sum of gold and silver, and he took a boat back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in Cambodia. With that sum of money, he became a businessman. From then on, he married a wife and had children, and lived a life of a wealthy family that everyone envied. .

Old Master Tao recalled this, and said to Qin Song and the others: "All I know is that much, and I don't know anything else."

"My great-grandfather was tight-lipped and taboo about what happened back then, and never mentioned it to anyone, including my grandfather and my father."

"Before he died, there was only a strange statue that was passed down, like a Bodhisattva but not like a Bodhisattva, like a Buddha but not like a Buddha."

"At that time, he asked me to wait. In my father's generation, we must hand over this statue to a family named Hua in the lower reaches of the Yellow River."

"It's been almost a hundred years since now. And it's all done by grandparents. I didn't know that Hua's family is still there now."

"The secret that those people from Heishamen want is probably the secret of my great-grandfather escaping from death in the deep mountains, recovering miraculously, and making a fortune."

"However, my great-grandfather told us that when he met a group of wild wolves in the deep mountains, they were all killed by wild wolves, and he survived by chance."

"Later, I met a miraculous doctor from the outside world, and kept finding him an arm to connect him with. He also gave him all the rest of his life, so that he was able to get that sum of money."

Hearing this, Wang Dian on the side was a little confused, and asked: "Then those people want us to send the secret over there, what should we send? Is it possible to go over and tell them about this matter?

Daoist Jiang on the side also said: "That's right, if the time has come and we can't offer them a bargaining chip to satisfy them, I'm afraid the lives of the eldest and second young masters will be lost."

Qin Song shook his head and said, "Master Tao, the matter of your great-grandfather may not be that simple."

Qin Song still had some words to say. Old Master Tao must be hiding some truth from them. Old Master Tao does not want outsiders to know this part of the truth.

Otherwise, how would the paper figurine explain the old man Tao killed Tao Qingxue and the mysterious statue?

And what old master Tao said just now that he couldn't control his emotions, they should end in this generation, what is the end?What's the intention of those people who hired Tao Tianyang to go to the mountains of Cambodia?
Knowing that he couldn't ask in person, Qin Song asked sideways, "Master Tao, do you dare to ask where Mrs. Tao has gone? Why haven't I seen her?"

Mrs. Tao's eyes immediately changed, but at this time Wang Dian said with a little sadness: "Mrs. Tao, she passed away very early. It should have been not long after Miss San was born that year."

"Isn't it? Master?" Wang Dian cast a consulting look at Old Master Tao.

Old Master Tao's eyes were full of sadness, and he just said repeatedly: "Sin! Sin! Sin!"

When Qin Song saw the expression of Old Master Tao at this time, his heart moved, but he didn't continue to say anything.He knew that Mrs. Tao's death was probably something very strange.

At this moment, Wang Dian suddenly said: "Tell me, the people from the Heishamen want the statue passed down by the old man?"

Qin Song and Daoist Jiang looked at each other immediately after listening, and said, "It's very possible, but we can't think of anything else."

The two looked at Old Master Tao and asked, "Master Tao, what do you think?"

Old Master Tao lost his enthusiasm uncharacteristically, looked at them, his expression changed, and said, "I think it's better not to look for the statue."

He said such a sentence so suddenly that everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, at a loss.
