I first helped Rujun and Ruoshui move their luggage into the room. As soon as I entered the door, I saw two wooden boards two meters long and one meter wide, which should be used as beds.
I smiled bitterly and asked, "Rujun, are you uncomfortable adapting to such a harsh environment?"
After all, Rujun still exists in my heart like the fairy sister who is dressed in beautiful clothes and eats food.
Rujun said with a smile: "Lin Yang, have you forgotten that I have even slept on straw mats in suburban warehouses? Such an environment is already quite good. Besides, I have lived for hundreds of years and have suffered far more hardships than
You see much more now, so you don’t have to worry about me."
I nodded, knowing that my worries were unfounded. The era when Rujun was born was obviously much harder than it is now. In that era of war and chaos, there was obviously a lot of pain that I could never imagine. The reason why Rujun is like this now
Not only because of her character, but also because of her own experience, it is indeed a bit disappointing for me, a child who has only lived for twenty years, to care about a fairy-level figure with nearly five hundred years of experience.
Laughed.
After helping Rujun place his luggage, I went to make the bed with Lao Mao. Lao Mao looked at the unpainted walls, then at the rough floor, and said: "Such an environment is really a bit hard-working, and I'm quite happy with it."
I like it, Lin Yang, what do you think?"
I smiled and said, "I think it's not bad. At least it's safe for us to stay together."
Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a dark wind blowing outside. It must be Chen Xuance who came with Xiao Qing.
Sure enough, Chen Xuance's laughter gradually started, and he must have been chatting with Xu Changge.
After a while, the third grandfather poked his head over and said, "Come on, everyone. Mr. Chen seems to have got some useful information."
Chen Xuance is so senior that even people of Third Grandpa's age have to call him Mr. Chen. Although this guy often wears a Chinese tunic suit, his age is obviously not that of a figure from the Republic of China era. He may be as good as Rujun.
.
A few of us hurriedly came to the meeting room outside and sat down at the table.
Chen Xuance said: "After I went back, I inquired about the situation and got some important information."
Saying that, Chen Xuance glanced at Rujun and said: "Rujun, the man in the apricot gown who assassinated you that night did not rush away after fighting with you, but stayed to fight with the evil ghosts of the Xu family.
A battle."
"What?" Old Mao asked in surprise: "You still have physical strength after fighting with Rujun?"
Chen Xuance's face was solemn, he nodded and said: "Of course, not only that, he seemed to have single-handedly repelled a team of twelve members of the Xu family, more than half of the twelve were cyan level ghosts.
So...you can roughly deduce the abilities of the man in the apricot robe."
I broke into a cold sweat when I heard this. This guy's abilities were obviously superior to those of crazy Taoists. I really couldn't figure out where he came from and why he had such powerful abilities.
However, this news is not the most shocking news tonight, because Chen Xuance went on to tell an even scarier news. He said: "The second news is that we have been positioned by the Xu family's ghosts. If the guess is correct, they will arrive at the latest
You can come here tomorrow night."
"They...how could they find this place?" Yu Hualong was a little panicked and asked quickly.
Chen Xuance sneered and said, "You have to know that this place has been the foundation of the Xu family for thousands of years. It doesn't take much effort for them to find someone on their chassis."
Rujun also nodded and said: "Yes, we can't escape forever. If we want to turn against the guests, we must not escape and confront them head-on."
I also agreed with Rujun's statement and immediately said: "Our current strength can barely compete with them. Senior Chen, I wonder if the Chen family can send more people?"
After hearing this, Chen Xuance smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that... I have given them more important tasks."
"Oh? What mission?" Xu Changge seemed to have always had doubts about Chen Xuance. When he heard what Chen Xuance said, he immediately asked without any reservation.
Chen Xuance knew that it was impossible not to say anything, so he did not hide it too much and said openly: "As far as I know, the Xu family has three strongholds in the subway, one of which is Fushou Ridge, and the other two are...
So far, he has not been found."
We nodded.
Chen Xuance continued: "The Chen family does not have many people, but they are all very important, and it is also very important for us to find the Xu family's stronghold, so in fact, starting from half a year ago, I have already transferred some of the people in the family to
The elite are stationed outside, looking for the two remaining strongholds of the Xu family."
This reason is very sufficient, well-founded and convincing.
Xu Changge obviously didn't quite believe it yet, but I knew that even if it was just a lie, there would be no benefit in exposing it now.
"Mr. Chen, do you know how many people the Xu family will send this time?" I asked quickly.
Chen Xuance shook his head and said: "I can't know this, but it will definitely not be too little. The Xu family has suffered too many losses in dealing with you, and now it will definitely deal with us at all costs, so it is best to make a complete decision
preparation."
Rujun suddenly asked: "Will this large-scale confrontation between us provoke the envoy?"
Chen Xuance smiled, with a hint of mystery in his smile, and said: "This is obvious, but it seems that the envoy should be busy with other things. Otherwise, based on the last time we made a big fuss at Xu Bai's wedding banquet, according to the envoy's instructions
Character, they have already taken action."
"Other things? What does this mean?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe it has something to do with the man in the apricot gown." Chen Xuance deduced: "But I'm not sure, because the messengers have their own rules... In addition, it seems that people above the messenger have begun to come out of the cave. The situation has been very complicated recently.
It seems like something big is going to happen..."
"What's above the messenger?" I asked again.
Chen Xuance smiled and said: "Those above the rank of envoy are actually still envoys. I will explain this issue to you later. Our first priority now is to deal with the Xu family."
"That's right." Rujun seemed to have some understanding of the envoy's affairs, but she obviously didn't want to say anything, so she quickly interrupted our conversation and said, "The most important thing now is to withstand this wave of attacks from the Xu family.
.”
Xu Changge said: "In this way, let's set up now. This is an excellent place for defensive counterattack. In addition, we are all here. If this battle fails, then we will not be able to fight against the evil ghosts of the Xu family.
"
I also nodded and said: "That's right, defend first and then counterattack. This time the Xu family must have come here with the determination to win. As long as we withstand this attack, the morale of the Xu family will drop significantly."
.”
After discussing it, we started to make arrangements.
Chen Xuance and Rujun were of little help in defending against the evil spirits. Xu Changge, Third Grandpa and Lao Mao were obviously masters in this area.
Xu Changge has obviously had a psychological shadow since the Fushouling incident when he was young, and he basically spent the first half of his life hiding from evil spirits.
I don’t know how many nightmares he woke up from, but it’s conceivable that the tragic scene of Old Cat’s father before his death has always lingered in Xu Changge’s mind.
It is precisely for this reason that Xu Changge has a deep understanding of Qimen Dunjia and the art of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits. He always carries agarwood and sandalwood with him.
The third grandfather is even more powerful. I don’t know where he moved two stone lions carved from obsidian, one on the left and one on the right at the door outside the conference room on the third floor.
These two stone lions are not very big. They are about the size of an old computer mainframe. They are majestic and majestic, and they are quite meant to ward off ghosts and evil spirits.
Coupled with the pure Yang property of obsidian itself, these two things are indeed very useful.
Chen Xiaoqing was a little unhappy, and kept hiding behind me and complaining: "Putting these two things here makes it clear that my great-grandfather and I are not welcome... The evil ghosts of the Xu family were frightened, but I and I
What should I do about my great-grandfather?”
I had no choice but to comfort him and said that as soon as the evil ghosts of the Xu family left, the two stone lions would also evacuate immediately. Chen Xiaoqing was dubious, and the relationship between him and the third grandfather was considered to be forged.
