Chapter 123
What should come will come. So far, the sarcophagus in the twelve ghost caves have not appeared yet. The raft carrying daughter A's daughter, the demon king, is still floating on the water. The full moon in the sky is still blood-red. The eldest brother has already held up the drum again. He swung the drumsticks and smashed it up.
As he beat the drum, he got the water dragon surrounding the drum, and rushed over with a roar at the City God's ship. The dragon itself was a Chinese totem, which looked extremely ferocious and majestic. With such a pounce, it carried the thunderous momentum, but the City God just stood at the bow of the ship. When the water dragon approached him, he just waved his hand gently, and the water dragon began to dissipate and finally turned into water and scattered into the river.
The eldest brother continued to beat the drum. As soon as one collapsed, another one came. The water dragon transformed into water. As the elder brother's drum beats rang out in a dense manner, a water dragon gathered around the elder brother. After counting, there were eight. These eight dragons were in a row, and they turned the twelve ghost caves with awesome spirit like a fairyland.
The eldest brother put the drum on the altar, he threw the drumsticks and jumped up to step on the drum.
One by one, the water dragons shot towards the City God's ship.
Eight water dragons pounced together, and this scene was shocking.
But the eight water dragons pounced in front of the City God. He waved his hand gently again, and a transparent barrier blocked his body. When the eight water dragons touched this barrier, they could not enter any further. In the end, they all turned into water and scattered in the river.
The fat man covered his eyes and said, "I really admire your elder brother's courage. He is obviously not a match, but he is still stunned. If it were a fat man, I wouldn't beat him anymore. Does his own grandfather have such a big grudge? I can't tell that your grandfather can beat him casually and he can't take care of himself?"
I sighed and said, "If you know you can't beat me, you won't beat me, then you're not the elder brother. Fatty, send me over and I'll go and persuade me."
At this time, I could no longer retreat. If the two of them continued to fight like this, although my grandfather was destined to be defeated immediately as soon as he fought back, just as my grandfather could kill my brother that day, no matter who they hurt, it was not the result I wanted. As the person closest to them, I had to go over and stop them.
The fat man nodded, he picked me up, the four divine beasts he summoned with the yellow talisman had already dissipated because of the burning of the yellow talisman. He threw a talisman, which gradually grew bigger in the water. The fat man hugged me and jumped onto the yellow talisman, and crossed us to the altar. The fat man threw me onto the altar and said, "Yezi, don't force me too much, they both have a sense of responsibility. The gods and immortals fight, and if they accidentally affect you, your life will be gone."
I nodded and said, "I have a sense of responsibility."
My arrival did calm down temporarily. I walked over. I knew that if this matter was resolved and wanted to dissolve the knot in my elder brother's heart, my grandfather had to give an explanation, even if it was a sentence "I had to do it." In fact, after I knew that my father was skinned by my grandfather, we both obsessed with it, that is, a statement from my grandfather. What I didn't expect was that my grandfather was actually colder than my elder brother. Everything now shows that what he had done back then was a last resort, but he didn't even explain it.
When I arrived in front of my elder brother, I knelt down to my grandfather sitting at the bow of the boat. I said to him: "Grandpa, as a grandson, I should kneel down to you. This kneeling is also a repayment for the grace of raising you for more than 20 years. I know that it is wrong for my elder brother to attack you, but you should also know what my father's death means to our family. If my father dies, the elder brother will not be adopted. I will not be ridiculed when I was a child without a father. I also know that as a father, there is absolutely no choice but to destroy his own children with his own hands. I just ask you to give us an explanation. My elder brother and I also look forward to you coming back and our family being able to be reunited."
Grandpa stood at the bow of the boat and looked at me. His face was hanging on his face. I couldn't see his expression, because there was no flare at this time, and he could only follow the red moonlight. I couldn't see clearly what was written in his eyes. He just looked at me quietly.
"I'll tell you." The eldest brother said at this time.
When I turned around, the elder brother stared at grandpa coldly. He pointed at grandpa and said to me, "At that time, he instructed his father to do something, and brought you back from Shennongjia. Everything his father did was instructed by him. He knew that some things were taboos in the ghost realm and could not be done, but he still asked his father to do it. His father really did it, and he really brought you back from Shennongjia. He instructed his father to take out another treasure dragon yuan of the ghost realm from the twelve ghost caves. This action was completely angered.
But when the ghosts came to settle the score with his father, in order to save himself, he pushed out his own son and peeled off his skin with his own hands. Everything that happened back then was born on this altar. He used a knife to peel off his child's skin inch by inch. When his child died, he took the blame and saved his status and his life. Ye Zi, such a person is not worthy of calling him grandpa, and he is even less worthy of being a father!"
"If Ye Tianhua had not died back then, I would die, and you would die, including Ye Zi, too." At this time, the grandfather standing on the bow of the boat said.
"Stop talking, no matter how you explain, you can't cover up your being a coward! Since you want to do something, you know the price of this matter better. When the ghost path comes to you, you and your father will resist together, and there is a chance to do so, but you didn't even resist and just sold your child. I tell you, we would rather die at that time than let you live in this way!" The eldest brother stared at his grandfather with his eyes, almost glaring blood.
"You child is so similar to Tianhua. Do you understand the principle that you just passed by Yizhe?" Grandpa said to his elder brother. His tone was very gentle. This time he really looked like what an elder said to the child.
"Have you seen this drum?" The eldest brother gently stroked the drum and looked at grandpa and said.
Grandpa, who was standing at the bow of the boat, shook his head gently.
"Of course you have never seen it. You didn't even have the courage to understand others' skins back then." The eldest brother said softly.
I was shocked and turned my head to look at the drum in my elder brother's hand. I felt that there were a lot of wrinkles on the drum skin. In this way, this drum was actually made of my father's human skin?
Grandpa stopped talking.
"After my grandfather handed me this drum, it has been with me for so many years, always reminding me that I have a bloody revenge that I have not been revenged. My father was peeled and hung on the big tree at the entrance of the village. I will never forget the way my father put me on his neck, and I will not forget the candy he gave me the night before he died. He told my father that he was leaving. I thought he was going out to do business, but that night, you killed him!" The eldest brother said, and beat the drum again.
This time the drum beat really hit my heart, making my heart so distressed that it was endless. When my father died, I was still in the womb. My elder brother was already three years old at that time. I always thought that a three-year-old child might not have that memory. Now it seems that everything is in my elder brother's mind.
I also understand why my elder brother has always been so silly, so unhappy, and so fond of being alone.
How can he be happy if a person has a deep hatred in his heart?
Compared to my elder brother, I have done too little.
"Brother." I shouted at him.
The elder brother looked down at me, and I saw tears flashing in his eyes. He said, "Yezi, when I originally wanted to find the murderer, you and my brothers skinned him with their own hands and slaughtered him all over the family, but I didn't expect it to be him. I know you can't do it, so I will do this. The only thing I have to do is to kill my father is to pay back the blood debt."
"But he is grandpa!" I said.
