When we returned to the apartment, it was already around the afternoon. Dahuang was very excited and kept asking me about related things before and after his "death". Old Cat had a calm face, but I knew that he was also worried about me.
Very happy to be back.
Rujun stayed with us to have dinner, which also made me realize that Rujun didn’t need to eat. During the meal, I told them all the things that Chen Xuance told me, and they looked at each other in shock, especially
When I mentioned the time when Xu Changge called Lao Mao, Lao Mao's face turned pale and cold sweat kept flowing down.
Rujun looked at the old cat and asked: "Old cat, tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Xu Changge and the third grandfather? Why did Xu Changge say that you were born in Yanjing and moved to Guangdong with your mother thirty years ago?
What is the connection between you and the blood sacrifice array held by the Xu family in Fushou Ridge thirty years ago?"
The old cat probably knew that he could no longer escape this time, so he sighed, put down his chopsticks, and lit a cigarette again.
Although I am very dissatisfied with the old cat smoking at the dinner table, there is nothing I can do about it. This old smoker always likes to light up a cigarette when he wants to tell the truth.
The old cat finished smoking a cigarette in silence without saying a word. I couldn't help but feel even more angry. This guy turned out to be playing tricks on us.
Rujun, however, always looked at him quietly and did not rush him.
It's a pity that Rujun is patient, but Dahuang is not. When the old cat finished smoking, Dahuang couldn't help but hit him with chopsticks and said: "Old cat, you should hurry up and say it, we are worried to death!"
The old cat lit another cigarette. After lighting it, he suddenly reached out and took out something from his pocket. He threw it on the table and said, "You guys take a look at this first."
I quickly took it and looked down. It turned out to be an ID card. On it was a picture of an old cat when he was still quite young. His name was written with three words: Xu Xuehen.
"Xu Xuehen...is this the fake ID card that Xu Changge gave you to buy a plane ticket?"
The old cat glared at me, took a puff of cigarette and said, "It's not fake, it's real. It's absolutely true. It's my own ID card."
"Xu Xuehen? Old cat, your surname is Xu?" I was shocked and quickly handed my ID card to Wang Rujun. Rujun looked at it and handed it to Dahuang who was already waiting impatiently.
The old cat took another sip, nodded and said: "Yes, my surname is Xu. Since that old and cunning Chen Xuance has told you everything, and there is only one missing link, I will not hide it from you today and tell you directly. He said
That's right. To deal with the Xu family, our current strength alone is not enough. He wants to shoot Sirius, and I also want to shoot Sirius. Regardless of whether we can be friends or not, let's shoot this Sirius together first!"
As he spoke, the old cat slammed his fist on the table, causing the table to make a loud noise.
Dahuang stared at the ID card, looked at the old cat longingly, and asked: "Old cat, you have hidden it too deeply. Your surname is also Xu, and Xu Changge is also surnamed Xu. Could it be that the third grandfather...
Is your surname also Xu?"
Old Mao nodded and said: "Well, not only are the three of us surnamed Xu, but we are also related by blood. Xu Changge and I are of the same generation. According to our seniority, I should call him cousin, while Mengyun has to
Call me uncle."
We were all dumbfounded. Only Rujun kept calm and asked in a low voice: "Old cat, that poor man who was turned into a ghost in Fushou Ridge thirty years ago... who are you?"
Old Mao, or rather Xu Xuehen, lowered his head, took a puff of cigarette silently, and said, "It's my dad, my real dad."
We immediately fell into silence, and the atmosphere on the entire table suddenly became solemn. None of us thought that Lao Mao had such a deep hatred for the Xu family.
Old Mao's father, like poor Haoran, had to pay a heavy price in order to satisfy his family's interests in the underworld, and made the people in the underworld miserable. I don't know how long this cruel tradition has lasted among the four major families.
But at least the old cat suffered pain we can't imagine.
"So, you were actually all part of the Xu family in the upper world, but because your father was killed by a ghost in the underworld, you all broke away from the Xu family and established a separate family, is that right?"
Rujun asked.
Old Mao nodded, silently smoked a whole cigarette, and said: "Xu Changge is the son of my uncle, and the eldest grandson of my biological grandfather. He is the direct great-great-grandson of my grandfather in the Xu family, and the third grandfather is actually
My third uncle is the third eldest child. My father is the second eldest child. He has the most evil destiny and has all the five yins. He is a good candidate to be a evil ghost. Unfortunately, although my father has an evil destiny, he lived to be less than thirty years old and never died.
, still alive and well. At this time, the Xu family's underworld needed a bearer to come out and pick them. No one in the underworld was suitable, but my father was the most suitable. Therefore, the evil ghosts in the underworld worked together and captured my father.
…”
At this point, the old cat's eyes were slightly red and he said: "My grandfather worked hard for half his life, and the only thing he missed was these three sons. My uncle passed away early, and my cousin... that is, Xu Changge actually died very early.
Dad, so my grandfather loved the remaining two sons even more. As soon as he heard that my father had been taken away, my grandfather did not care about the order of the world of heaven and the underworld, and immediately took his cousin Xu Changge and San Bo, also known as the third grandfather.
, went to Fushou Ling and fought hard... My grandfather had a very bad temper, and he knew some friends who were good at exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits. The big commotion turned out to be a little famous, and the ghosts in the Xu family's underworld even killed some people...
It’s just... alas..."
Old Mao let out a long sigh and couldn't go on. He lit a cigarette again, slowly smoked it for a few puffs, and then continued: "It's just that the ghosts in the underworld of the Xu family, as you all know, are really too powerful."
It's amazing. My grandfather was getting older. After fighting several times, he didn't rescue my father. Instead, he took his own life. My cousin Xu Changge was only twenty years old when he came to the fore. His courage was extraordinary, but
After all, he didn’t have much knowledge. When he saw his grandfather was dead, he risked his life and tried to fight the Xu family ghosts, but he was also seriously injured. The remaining third grandfather was relatively stable and quickly rescued his cousin Xu Changge with his friends.
, but my father and my grandfather both died in that accident..."
After saying this, the old cat stared blankly into the distance and smoked puff after puff.
Dahuang frowned when he heard that, looked at the old cat with sympathy, and asked: "Then what? Then you escaped to Foshan?"
The old cat nodded and said: "From now on, those in the underworld of the Xu family have removed my grandfather's descendants from the Xu family and directly invited this lineage out of the Xu family ancestral hall. However, because of this, the fate of the few of us has changed."
Being separated from the Xu family's underworld since then has really helped us live a good life in the future."
Having said this, Old Mao smiled rather self-deprecatingly, and continued: "Xu Changge was overly frightened that time, and since then he has been in constant contact with all kinds of underworld people and exorcists, and he has also accumulated a lot of magic weapons.
Sharp weapon, coupled with his desire to avenge his second uncle, he dared to fight hard over the years and became a very successful businessman in Shangjing area; the third grandfather, our third uncle, although not as radical as Xu Changge, but
I also secretly hoarded a lot of treasures and learned a lot of techniques to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits; as for me... my father was transformed into a ghost alive. I was still young at the time and had no idea about these things. My mother took me away and fled to
Guangdong, it was not until I was twelve years old that my mother revealed that my father was killed by a demon... Ever since I was a child, I have no memory of my father. The only people who accompany me are my mother and
The old cat at home. My mother told outsiders not to tell outsiders that my surname is Xu, so I named it Old Cat. Although I don’t know who my father is, I know that he was killed by a ghost, so I
I left home when I was thirteen years old and followed the masters in Guangdong and Guangxi to learn the art of traveling through the underworld and exorcising ghosts..."
After hearing this, I really got to know Lao Mao again. I never expected that he would be such a poor person with a tragic experience.
No wonder he has such a cold and aloof character now, which is not unrelated to his childhood experience. I sighed and patted the old cat on the shoulder, but couldn't say anything.
