Chapter 28 Tomb Keeper
Xie Que also came to the cemetery for the first time.
Since his martial arts practice, Dashun has gradually delegated everything in his hands to Xie Que, with the intention of letting him take over.
The tombkeepers are also appointed by the Demon Suppression Department, but they are much more comfortable than the corpse collectors, and they hardly need to deal with the corpses in person.
The tomb keeper of Lihuaba is an old woman. Her eyes are pale and her pupils are missing.
As a job of fishing for the underworld, tomb guardians also need people with five shortcomings and three deficiencies.
"Who is here?" Although the tomb guard couldn't see him, he seemed to have good hearing.
Xie Que had been warned by Dashun before Xie Que came that the tomb keeper of Lihuaba was a senior of the Demon Suppressing Division and was not an ordinary person.
Xie Que also lowered his attitude and said respectfully: "I'm a corpse hunter from Wangjiazhuang. I'm here to bury the corpse that Gui Yue picked up."
A wandering corpse is a corpse that has been fished out of the water, but no one has claimed it.
The old woman nodded slowly. She was maintaining a strange movement at the moment, and Xie Que could see a hint of mystery in it.
"Are you Yuan Shun's fifth son?" The old woman suddenly asked such a question, and Xie Que couldn't help but be startled.
"I'm the fourth one..." Xie Que just spoke, and he himself was suddenly surprised.
In a sense, he is indeed Yuan Shun's fifth son.
Xie Que's body is just a nest of Jiuzhan, not its original owner.
"Fourth son?" The old woman frowned and counted with her fingers.
It's a pity that things didn't go as planned. The old woman suddenly seemed to have been hit hard and fell to the ground with a weak breath. Blood and tears suddenly flowed from her empty eyes.
"Senior!" Xie Que was startled and hurriedly walked towards her.
Although I don’t know why the other party became like this, it is probably because of myself.
The old woman waved her hand, indicating that she did not need Xie Que to help her up.
She stood up slowly, sighed and said, "Do you only have three brothers above you?"
Xie Que nodded subconsciously, but thinking that the other party couldn't see him, he said yes again.
The old woman suddenly asked again: "How old are you now?"
Xie Que replied: "Back to senior, this junior is sixteen years old this year."
The old woman couldn't help but become silent. She stretched out her hand and said to Xie Que, "Give me your hand."
Xie Que was a little confused, but he still did it.
This matter has revealed a hint of weirdness from the beginning until now. The matter of "the fifth adopted son" has caused deep doubts in Xie Que.
He has never told anyone about being a time traveler, and he has no habit of talking in his sleep.
If he were to be exposed, it would only be because he had some unpredictable extraordinary ability that noticed the difference in his soul.
But he must not be exposed. Based on how the Demon Suppressor deals with the ghosts and spirits that possess humans, we know that this world will definitely not have a good attitude toward body snatchers.
The guardian of the tomb kept groping for the texture in Xie Que's hands. Finally, she sighed, as if it was a great pity.
"Have you ever learned martial arts?" the old woman asked.
Xie Que responded.
"Your blood..." The old woman suddenly became silent, "No wonder..."
The other party spoke like a riddle man. Xie Que was also curious in his heart, but it was inconvenient to ask.
"You have actually practiced secret martial arts." The old woman's face became more and more surprised, and gradually turned from the sickly pale color to rosy color.
"I have never practiced secret martial arts, or even any martial arts." The old woman suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Xie Que with empty eyes, making Xie Que feel a little uncomfortable.
"But since you have carried his hope, I should also help you take a further step in that direction." What the old woman said at this time was a bit mindless, but Xie Que seemed to have caught some clues.
That's what Dashun seems to be doing, and has been working hard for it for many years, but now he has given up and passed on the "career" he has made to himself.
With such a guess, Xie Que suddenly remembered the time when he first traveled through time.
Dashun looked at him as if he were a stranger, not an adopted son he had known for many years.
Could it be that his adoptive father has already seen that he is a dove occupying a magpie's nest?
But later on, Dashun treated himself well. He always responded to every request in terms of finance, and he often solved problems when it came to martial arts training.
But before he traveled through time, Dashun was extremely strict with both the original owner and the original owner's three brothers.
Even under the living conditions of corpse fishermen, their personalities seem a little extreme.
Under the display of various contradictory phenomena, Xie Que was a little confused.
Xie Que buried these doubts in his heart, and the old woman had already retracted her hands and stood up.
The mausoleum guard said that he was not a warrior, and Xie Que could also feel from his body that his energy and blood were extremely weak and even somewhat decayed due to his age.
But Xie Que also believed that the other party was definitely an extraordinary person.
"Being able to master two boxing techniques in such a short period of time is enough to prove that you are talented in boxing." The temperament of the tomb guard gradually began to change. The change from the previous weak posture will definitely make Xie Que feel chilling. .
"In that case, let him teach you a boxing technique."
he? Xie Que was a little confused and looked around, but there was still no one around.
"Thank you, senior." Although he didn't know what the tomb guard meant, Xie Que could feel the other person's sincerity.
Just like his adoptive father, he is all working hard in the same direction.
Although I don't know what that direction means, it doesn't stop it from being beneficial to me.
If there is really any conspiracy, it would be difficult to escape from it with my current strength.
Suddenly, the old woman's face began to distort and change, and Xie Que was so frightened that he took several steps back.
In less than three seconds, the tomb keeper had transformed from an old woman into an old man with white hair and white beard.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the pair of pale pupils.
Xie Que couldn't help but be stunned for a while. If he hadn't known the other party's identity, he would have thought that the person standing opposite was not a tomb guard, but a monster.
Is this the "him" the mausoleum guard calls him?
"Buddha has ten thousand appearances. Regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, I am all of them." The old man's voice was now a little low.
Xie Que took a deep breath, inevitably still shocked by the scene just now.
He calmed down and asked the old man: "What is the relationship between senior and my father, and why do you want to teach me boxing skills for nothing?"
"Follow me." The old man made a move indifferently.
Xie Que continued to ask: "I'm sorry for being rude, senior. If senior doesn't explain clearly, I'm afraid this junior won't be able to enjoy this favor."
The old man finally stopped and turned around to look at Xie Que.
He seemed to be laughing at himself: "What's the point of your questions?"
"Both I and him are just people who live for martial arts."
