Mengyun didn't speak, just shook her head and said: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything. No one told me that I am from the Xu family. Maybe... maybe it's just a coincidence of my last name."
I gradually calmed down, maybe because I was too impulsive. How could Mengyun be from the Xu family? She was almost killed by the Bai family several times. If she was from the Xu family, then the Bai family
How could such a fierce ghost dare to offend her?
I quickly patted Mengyun on the shoulder and said: "It doesn't matter, I believe you, you are definitely not from the Xu family..."
Mengyun nodded, suddenly looked at me with a pair of big eyes, and asked: "Lin Yang, if I told you that I also have a piece of the blood jade you got before, would you doubt me?"
When I heard this, I was completely stunned. I looked at Mengyun and asked, "What? Where did you see it? Do you always have it at home?"
Mengyun shook her head and said: "No, I saw it in my dad's study when I went home this time. This is the first time..."
I just felt like I was starting to sweat on my back. Blood jade is completely different from ordinary jade, because it is rare and very strange. After all, it is something pried out of the mouth of a dead person. It is not something that can be found in a normal family.
It's impossible to keep it.
And besides, it is difficult for a normal family to obtain this kind of blood jade, even for the very important people with great status and status. Now Mengyun’s family actually has a piece of blood jade, which makes me feel that something is a little strange.
I asked Mengyun: "Where is this blood jade in your father's study? Have you ever asked him where the blood jade came from?"
Mengyun thought for a while and said: "It's in a drawer and placed in a sandalwood box. I didn't dare to ask him, but it seems quite important. But Lin Yang, if the blood jade can be helpful to you, I will
I can take it out and lend it to you."
I shook my head and said, "No, you can't steal it. Your dad will definitely be angry if you do this, but... why does your family have blood jade?"
Mengyun seemed to think there was something in my words, and she became nervous. She kept asking: "Lin Yang, what should I do? Am I really a descendant of the Xu family?"
I shook my head and said, "Don't worry, it probably won't be the case. Let's do it this way. If it's convenient for you, let's go to your house and have a look. As for whether your father is a descendant of the Xu family, we might be able to get some clues."
Mengyun thought for a while and said: "Let's do it today. My parents are not at home today, so I can go and take a look."
I nodded and quickly called Lao Mao and Da Huang.
Dahuang answered the phone and kept saying one thing back and forth, that is, "It is difficult to guard against thieves during the day and at night." I still didn't want to believe that Mengyun was from the Xu family, so I kept arguing with Dahuang.
This guy muttered for a while, and hurriedly rushed to the apartment where we were with Lao Mao. Mengyun might be a little reluctant to believe that she had nothing to do with the Xu family, one of the four major families, so she was timid when speaking.
of.
Lao Mao glanced at Mengyun and said, "Don't be afraid, I don't think you have anything to do with them."
Mengyun didn't expect that the always aloof old cat would be willing to stand up for her, and she was obviously a little surprised.
Old Mao said: "If Mengyun is really from the Xu family, then the Bai family will definitely not dare to touch her. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
When Dahuang heard this, he seemed to think it made sense and kept nodding his head.
The old cat looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late. Let's act quickly. When it gets dark, all the monsters and ghosts will come out."
With that said, the four of us went downstairs, took a taxi, and drove towards Mengyun's home.
As mentioned before, Mengyun's family conditions are very good. Her parents are very busy at work and seem to be businessmen. Mengyun's parents have a not too big two-bedroom apartment in the city, but they seldom live there. They live there all the time.
The house is in the Tongzhou area and seems to be a villa.
The taxi took a long time, and I was sweating a little while looking at the meter. Finally, more than an hour later, the taxi arrived at the destination.
Mengyun's home is in a villa complex, which looks like a typical wealthy area. You can see luxury cars passing by everywhere, bringing with them a burst of dust.
Dahuang looked at it and praised it: "Mengyun, I didn't expect that you are also a rich man."
I smiled and said, "What kind of rich man? They call him Bai Fumei."
Mengyun didn't say anything. I saw that her expression was not very good. It seemed that the girl still suspected that she was from the Xu family.
The four of us felt a bit awkward as we entered Mengyun's home.
Mengyun's family and Haoran's family have different auras of rich people. Her family is lifeless and she always feels unpopular.
Moreover, the entire decoration of Mengyun's house is very monotonous. Apart from black and white, only the illustrations near the stairs are in color. Dahuang looked at it and couldn't help but ask: "Mengyun, don't you think it would be better to live in such a home?"
Depressed?"
Mengyun nodded and smiled bitterly: "Of course it's depressing, so I rarely go home because I don't feel much warmth here."
I have heard about the situation at Mengyun's family. She once complained that her parents rarely spent time with her because of their work. For two workaholics, this kind of decoration design is quite realistic.
The old cat looked around and asked, "Where is that piece of blood jade?"
Mengyun pointed upstairs and said, "It's in the study room on the second floor."
The old cat nodded and followed Mengyun up.
The layout of Mengyun's villa is somewhat unique. The space on the second floor is much smaller than the first floor. Apart from a study room, there is only one bedroom, which seems to be Mengyun's bedroom.
Mengyun opened the study door, and the scent of sandalwood hit her face.
The old cat lowered his head and sniffed, and said, "Sandalwood can drive away ghosts. From this smell alone, I can tell that Mengyun has nothing to do with the Xu family."
Mengyun breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this, and was obviously grateful for Lao Mao's judgment.
Dahuang also wrinkled his nose and sniffed, nodded and said, "Not bad, look at these pieces of wood."
I followed Dahuang's guidance and found that Mengyun's father's study room was full of solid wood furniture.
Old Mao nodded, walked a few steps forward, knocked on a tea sea in the study, and said: "This tea sea is very particular. It can be seen that Mengyun's father is a man of status..."
Having said this, Old Mao knocked on the bookshelf next to him and said: "The best rosewood has a stronger ability to ward off evil than peach wood, and it is very valuable. If Mengyun is really the Xu family of the four major families,
, then Mengyun’s father’s study will definitely not have so many evil-proof things.”
Mengyun's father's study was very large. Just a square of tea and a bookshelf took up at least ten square meters of space. As we continued walking inside, we saw something very simple and strange.
This is a rare thing. Its scientific name is "Lanqi", and its common name is a sword rest or sword stand, which is used to place swords.
There was no sword placed on this sword stand, but it was wiped spotless. It could be seen that Mengyun's father must have used it frequently.
Dahuang couldn't help but place his blackwood sword on this noble-looking sword stand, and after looking at it for a while, he asked: "Mengyun, your father is so particular that he still has such a thing? I have only seen this Lan Qi in my master's room."
Mengyun smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "I don't know what this thing is for, but it seems to be very expensive. It seems to be more expensive than the Fang Chahai just now."
"What?" I was startled. You have to know that things like tea sea are both handicrafts and collectibles. The price of an ordinary tea sea is over 100,000 yuan at least, and the price of a high-quality tea sea is likely to be more than one million.
And such a small sword stand, which is only a few tenths of the size of Chahai, is actually more expensive than Chahai?
Isn't this a money grab?
At this moment, Old Mao suddenly said lightly: "It's worth the price, because the material of this sword stand is lightning strike wood."
"Thunder-Strike Wood?" Dahuang was stunned and trembled all over, obviously understanding the value of this "Thunder-Strike Wood".
But I still didn't understand, so I asked: "What is lightning strike wood?"
The old cat smiled and asked: "Is Dahuang's blackwood sword powerful?"
I nodded and said, "Of course it's powerful. With one strike of the sword, the ghost's soul immediately flew away. How can it not be powerful?"
The old cat said: "Thunder strike wood is also called black wood. Dahuang's black wood sword is made of thunder strike wood."
