After talking with the old man, Tong Qi was completely stunned.

The old man sighed and said, "Forget it, there are some things You should know. Grandpa can't always treat you like a child."

Tong Qi pursed his lower lip, then took a chair and placed it next to the old man, sat down, and whispered, "Sorry."

The old man shook his head and smiled, and then said: "Before Jun'er was born, there were many signs that he would be a rare century-old genius in the future. At that time, everyone in the family was very happy, and it was even decided that he would become the next Patriarch.

"But that child didn't show any fluctuations in spiritual power after birth. His grandfather didn't believe it, so he specially asked someone to test Jun'er's life. The result was that the child could not have any attainments in magic, let alone If he inherited the same family, he might not be as good as any descendants of the same family.

"At that time, your great-grandpa changed his face and slammed the door to leave. Your grandma was holding your father and crying. I looked at Jun'er's red face, and I couldn't bear to give up on him. I always wanted to Well, maybe Jun'er doesn't have much talent, but after all, he is my son, no matter how bad he is, he is better than those collaterals, right?

"At that time, Jun'er was too young to practice. I used herbs to raise him with your grandma, hoping to make his muscles and bones better. It's a pity that your grandma is not in good health. When your father is four years old, your grandma I just went. I didn’t have the mood to care about your father at once, so I just let him go for a few years. Those years... It was also my fault. I always felt that he killed your grandma. When I figured it out, Your father has also reached the age when he should go to school, so grandpa is going to teach your father how to spell." Having said this, the old man smiled bitterly, "But you will never understand the feeling of hitting cotton with a fist, according to the old saying It's because your father is not enlightened. Although he can understand everything taught, he just can't use it.

"After teaching for a year, grandpa gave up. Grandpa really didn't know how to face your father. Your great-grandpa adopted a highly gifted child from a collateral lineage under my name. When grandpa was confused, he Take that kid.

"At that time, grandpa was really disappointed in your father. For more than ten years...Although he listened to the reports of his servants every week, grandpa never went to see him. It wasn't until a family was about to get married that grandpa called your father. . " The old man sighed and burst into tears, which contained deep guilt for his youngest son.

The old man choked up for a while and continued to speak: "Grandpa brought your father here. Although I didn't care much about him in those years, after all, I would not wrong him in life, and I often saw him at family banquets, but when I brought him When he called, Grandpa felt that the child had grown so big.

"Jun'er has always been obedient, but who knew that after listening to my words, she firmly refused. After all, he is my own son. I never thought of using him for the family. I have seen that girl before, and the conditions are very good. That's right, who knew that your father really refused with all his heart. Grandpa has a bad temper, and a lot of unpleasant things happened in the end, Jun'er simply left the same family. It was he who left the same family, and his reputation gradually came back, so I know In a sense, his magic skills have reached the point where no one can match. After a while, your father suddenly disappeared, until he came back to you a few years later.

"I don't know what happened in those years. Jun'er was very haggard when he came back, and he looked very anxious. He didn't even stay at home for a day and left. When he left, he left Something said that if he didn't come back within a year, don't look for him, and then wrote down your birthday.

"By the time I came back, your father had already left. At that time, you were not even full moon, and no one knew who your mother was, but your spiritual power at that time... had already surpassed that of the previous Patriarchs. A year later Jun'er didn't come back. I dreamed one night that he was standing in front of me covered in blood. I dreamed that he said that Jun'er was not filial. I'm afraid I would never be able to return to the same family. I dreamed that he told me to treat you well. , if one day you want to find him, I will give you what he left behind."

After finishing speaking, the old man looked deeply at Tong Qi, and said: "Grandpa wants to love you well, but when he sees you, he thinks of Jun'er, grandpa, there is no way for grandpa not to miss him. Grandpa knows you don't like spells, but grandpa Couldn't help it, Grandpa thought, if Jun'er had your spiritual power, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so hard, Grandpa is sorry for you!"

Tong Qi was silent, and then said: "Grandpa, you love Qi'er very much, Qi'er knows."

Tong Qi's words finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The old man couldn't bear it any longer and cried bitterly. The tears that were already slightly dry were soaked again, and the old man's face turned blue when he cried. , the white smoke from outside broke through the door, took out a porcelain bottle, poured medicine into the old man's mouth.

After a while, Baiyao picked up the old man and laid him on the bed. The old man was out of breath, and it was the first time that Tong Qi knew that his always healthy grandfather's body had broken down to this point.

The old man held Tong Qi's hand, out of breath, and said, "The thing...the thing is in the mirror." After finishing speaking, he fainted from exhaustion.

Tong Qi quickly grabbed Old Man Tong's wrist and channeled his spiritual power in. After a while, Tong Qi put down his hand, and Old Man Tong's complexion returned to rosy.

Tong Qi glanced at Baiyan Baiyao and said, "Go out and talk." Then he walked out.

Bai Yan glanced at Bai Yao, sighed, and followed Tong Qi out.

It was already dark, and Tong Qi's family was not in a big city, so Tong Qi could still see many stars when he looked up, Tong Qi asked, "When did it start?"

Bai Yan said: "When the Seventh Young Master went to the Yingshi Road, the master's health was not very good. In the past few years... I haven't recuperated."

Tong Qi's eyes couldn't see flickering, he said: "What are you giving him now?"

Bai Yan hesitated for a moment, then said: "The old doctor prescribed the medicine."

Tong Qi's brows frowned all of a sudden, the old doctor was not from the same family, but he had a high status in the same family, but this person had a weird temper, and minor illnesses were incurable.

"How did he say?"

"The old doctor said that as long as the mood swings are not too big, there is no big problem. The master must be too excited today." Bai Yan replied truthfully.

"Well," Tong Qi nodded and said, "Take care of grandpa. I... will be back."

Bai Yan suddenly raised her head and said, "Master Seventh is leaving?"

Tong Qi said lightly: "Grandpa will be happy to see father, right?"

Bai Yan didn't speak anymore.

When Tong Qi returned to the room, he couldn't wait to take out the Yin-Yang Ghost Mirror. He had to take care of his own affairs before he could take good care of Shen Ze.

The old man Tong didn't say how to get things from the mirror, Tong Qi thought about it for a while, and then sent spiritual energy into the mirror.

The Yin-Yang Ghost Mirror absorbed Tong Qi's spiritual power like a bottomless pit, but after a while, Tong Qi's head would emit white smoke and his face would turn pale, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to send spiritual energy into it.

Just when Tong Qi felt as if his oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry, there was a faint blue light under his clothes - that was the silver star feather that Shen Ze put on the coffin bed in the end.

The silver star's feathers formed a light blue force, which continued along Tong Qi's wrist to his fingers, and finally fell into the Yin-Yang ghost mirror.

After the Yin-Yang Ghost Mirror suffered this force, the mirror surface finally fluctuated, and then a black box emerged from the mirror surface.

Tong Qi stopped, panting heavily, and then looked at the box uncertainly.

The box floated on the yin-yang ghost mirror, surrounded by golden light. Tong Qi didn't know if it was his illusion—the box seemed to have a bit of fairy air.

Immortal energy is not special in Tong Qi's eyes, Ren Li has this kind of aura on his body, and Zhong Lixi is more or less contaminated with it due to special reasons.

It's just that the fairy energy on this box is very special, and Tong Qi felt that he seemed to have been exposed to this smell at some point.

Tong Qi stretched out his hand, and the box flew into his hand automatically, the Yin-Yang Ghost Mirror returned to its normal state, and the golden light around the box disappeared.

Tong Qiben wanted to open the box, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find a gap. It seemed that it was not a box but a complete piece of wood.

Tong Qi faintly felt that this box was the answer to all the puzzles Tong Jun left behind.

But it's a pity that Tong Qi didn't figure out how to open the box after studying it all night, and he looked out of his mind when he went to eat in the morning.

Old man Tong woke up, but he didn't come to have breakfast, nor did he call Tong Qi over.After thinking about it for a while, Tong Qi went back to his yard.

The cherry blossoms in the courtyard bloomed again, pink and tender, and Tong Qi recalled the scene of sitting under the tree with the old man in his arms many years ago.At that time, the old man was still in good health, and he would often hug little Tong Qi in the afternoon, slowly telling him various stories.

Tong Qi sighed, walked to the cherry blossom tree and touched the trunk. The cherry blossom tree shook slowly, and a lot of cherry blossoms fell on Tong Qi's shoulders.

Tong Qi smiled, touched the tree trunk and said, "Grandpa said that everything has spirits. Have you been here for a long time? I don't know if you have your own spiritual consciousness."

Tong Qi's eyes were a little erratic, and he said: "You can be regarded as watching me grow up... I heard that this was my father's residence before? Then did you also watch my father grow up? Speaking of which... Grandpa's residence is so close, grandpa actually loves father very much, right?"

Of course, the old tree couldn't answer Tong Qi. Tong Qi smiled, then shook his head and walked towards the house.

After walking two steps, Tong Qi suddenly stepped back, looked at the cherry blossom tree with a solemn expression, then narrowed his eyes, stretched out his finger and drew a symbol in the void, and said, "Now!"

The old tree swayed, and a hole appeared under the tree.
