"Didn't my mother say that you are protecting her and Yu Xiaoxue's safety?" I frowned, feeling worried in my heart, and put on my clothes while listening to the phone.
"No! I came back yesterday to give advice to my eldest cousin. Together with Uncle Zhao, I was also planning to go to the city to discuss some important business. I never thought about going, but my aunt said that we have been in peace for such a long time.
It's okay, there should be no problem in a day or two. But the store next door was closed at the time I said I just left! It's not open until today. The neighbor next door was worried and knocked on the door, but there was no sound!" Miao Xiao
The raccoon boy started talking.
"Okay, I'll go back and take a look right away!"
I can't blame Miao Xiaoli for this. She is also busy with several things now. Her business has expanded to the city, and she can be regarded as my right-hand assistant in business.
"I'm going too! It's my fault for neglecting my duty. Brother Tian, where are you?" Miao Xiaoli felt guilty and almost cried.
"Don't go and do a good job with this business. My mother is not an ordinary person. She may be back soon. I will go to Cheng Huang to ask about the situation." I said a few words of relief and hung up the phone.
I drove the off-road vehicle and drove quickly to Linxian County. On the way, my mind was in a mess. Is it Zihuangmen or Kongxuanmen? Or something else?
But according to Miao Xiaoli's description, her mother closed the store herself, which means she left voluntarily. What does this mean?
When I arrived in Linxian, I took the spare key and opened the door. As soon as I entered, I smelled the smell of oil from agricultural machinery. It had been closed for a day and a night.
As soon as I opened the door, the neighbor next door came to me and said, "I don't know where your mother is. She closed the door yesterday. I'm worried to death."
"Thank you, Aunt Liu." I said gratefully, looking around for any clues left by my mother. There was no trace of a fight in the house, so there should be no accident and the person left on his own.
Her phone and Yu Xiaoxue's phone were both unreachable. I thought about a group of relatives, and found that apart from the Zhou family, I didn't think of any other relatives and friends. The scope of my mother's activities was only in the surrounding area. After she disappeared, only the neighbors next door were worried.
.
I came to my mother's room. The sheets were neatly arranged and the shoes were placed as before. Everything was in order. I still couldn't find any trace of my mother leaving.
While I was checking, suddenly a burst of yin energy leaked out from downstairs. I was startled, took out the fly whisk and ran downstairs. I was shocked at the power of this ghostly energy and the reason for its sudden disappearance.
I was surprised. Could it be that my mother was harmed by a ghost?
The ghost energy still emerged from the ground. I was shocked by the surge of ghost energy and secretly wondered if there was something hidden underneath.
I became a little scared. Could my mother and Yu Xiaoxue be killed by ghosts and buried under the house?
After searching along the place where the ghost spirit emerged, I finally pushed away the goods at the top of the stairs.
A conspicuous square made my expression change. This is the basement!
When did mother hide a basement here?
"Oh, this basement was built when the house was built before. Your mother said it was used for storage of goods, but I haven't seen her mention it since. Judging from the situation, it must have been closed for a long time. It is full of dust. My nephew, look for it.
What are you doing in this basement?" Aunt Liu said casually.
"I thought this was the first time I discovered it. I've never heard my mother talk about it before." I said. I haven't seen the architectural drawings, but from Aunt Liu's point of view, this seemed to have been prepared when my mother moved here.
!
What’s in it! Why hasn’t my mother ever mentioned this secret?
"I have to go and get busy first. After you find your mother, remember to tell her that she might be going to a distant relative?" Aunt Liu shook her head, glanced at the entrance to the basement, and walked outside.
I said goodbye and ran to close the rolling shutter door. I couldn't bear the presence of someone like Aunt Liu again. Besides, the ghost spirit was still blooming in the basement. It was too dangerous in broad daylight!
I opened the thick wooden board in the basement and felt the gloomy air blowing in my face. I turned on all the lights and walked inside.
Only then did I take a step forward, and suddenly all the ghosts disappeared!
I rushed in and used the flashlight on my mobile phone to find the light switch. When I turned it on, the entire basement lit up.
The basement was completely different from what I imagined. It was empty. There was only an ordinary table in the center. I felt the changes in the yin energy as I walked over. The table was full of dust and dirty, but there was a place that was very clean.
, the size is as big as a suitcase.
Originally, there seemed to be a chopping block in this place, and it had just been taken away, but now there was a letter placed in the clean place, with a few words for my son written on it.
My face changed slightly. Did my mother know that I was coming here, so she put the letter here?
But that’s not right, it’s full of dust outside, and it looks like no one is coming in!
"Where did the ghost come from? Come out! Exorcise spirits and bind evil spirits. Commands come naturally. Ghost ways borrow methods! Recruit ghosts!" I shouted softly and threw the blue talisman into the air, trying to restrain the evil ghosts.
In the end, not a single wandering ghost was attracted at all.
The calmness around me made me relax my guard. I picked up the letter, opened it and took out the paper inside.
The font was elegant, not quite the same as my grandma’s. I glanced at it and my expression was mixed.
"One day, when you opened this letter, you should have already known Ruize's identity. Yes, he is your biological brother. He is not your half-brother as you thought, but your real brother.
Brother, I concealed this matter because I didn’t want you two to get involved, so I was very angry when you said you wanted to verify your relationship with him, but then I thought about it, maybe your fate was destined from the time you met.
, after recognizing each other, you can no longer escape the entanglement of fate, so I asked you to stay away from the Xia family. This is one of the reasons. Of course, the more important thing is that the Xia family is beyond your ability to compete. Bypass them and treat you
For Ruize and Ruize, their respective roads will be smoother and much wider."
"You have been plotted since you were born. Ruize has become the orthodox successor of the Confucian Xia family, so your existence has become a living chess piece on the Xia family's chessboard, and this living chess piece is destined to be
It was at the expense of sacrificing you. This secret, from the moment I knew it, became a lingering nightmare and disaster. In order to prevent you from becoming a pawn they used to sacrifice, I escaped from the Xia family.
It was your grandma who saved me."
"The matter of the Blood Cloud Coffin involves Tianji. Your grandmother and I don't want you to get involved, so you can practice with peace of mind and live a good life. Your grandmother's entry into the Blood Cloud Coffin is not completely passive, but you
Grandma has already made up her mind. This matter was all within her expectation. Remember, in the competition between the two parties, you are Grandma’s last trump card. You must be careful and don’t act rashly."
"Don't waste time trying to find me and Xiaoxue. This matter is within the plan. We are fine and there is no need to worry."
After reading the letter, I turned pale and thought of Xia Ruize. I felt inexplicably sad. It turned out that he was really my brother. Maybe my mother didn't expect that I didn't get the appraisal report at all.
While I was in a daze, a cool air came from my hand. I suddenly let go of the letter. As a result, the letter turned gray, and then together with the envelope, it became tattered into dust. A cold wind blew by, leaving nothing behind.
"Who!" I turned around and looked around, the whisk in my hand shaking.
"Hehehehe..."
A strange and cold voice came from all directions, and then drifted away. It sounded like the voice of an old woman. My hair stood on end and my heart was filled with fear.
This is no different than seeing a ghost in the daytime.
After leaving the basement, I sat on a chair and fell into deep thought. Xia Ruize was actually my brother, but his and I were in completely different situations. One wanted to be the orthodox successor, while the other was supposed to be.
The chess pieces that have been planned are destined to die!
We are all our own flesh and blood. Of course my mother didn’t want to let me die. I heard the secret from somewhere. As a result, my mother escaped and fled to my grandma. Grandma had planned everything. Who did she leave the blood cloud coffin to?
Zhou Xuan? The first name that pops up is her, and this little cousin has always been extremely mysterious. Behind the scenes, she has repeatedly turned danger into good fortune, and even though tens of thousands of ghost soldiers filled the blood cloud coffin, she was fine.
I am grandma's last trump card. What does trump card mean? I am looking for the peak of my strength. Let alone trump card, it is not even the most basic card.
Grandma was extremely resourceful, and perhaps she had already planned everything back then, marrying the Ninth Princess to me as a child bride. In this way, the trump card was clear, and the one who could become the trump card was none other than the Ninth Princess.
I felt extremely depressed. My grandmother and mother seemed to treat me like a child and protected me everywhere. This made me feel a little helpless.
In their eyes, as the soul of the Ninth Princess, I, as long as I am still alive, will be fine. I don’t need to work hard for anything. I just want to live well by myself.
Then everything I have done before, everything I have gone through, life and death, haven’t they all been denied?
I felt depressed, so I left home, drove to Guanyin Mountain, and took the road to Chenghuang Mansion.
In Chenghuangli, several generals recognized me and took me to Wei Ziling. Seeing that I was depressed, they immediately invited beauties and wine and meat to entertain me.
The guests were enjoying themselves at the banquet.
Wei Ziling invited me to sit with him, and I kept my future affairs under wraps and casually talked about it. Wei Ziling was very sympathetic and comforted me.
"That boy Zuo Chen has become a city god now, and he is still showing off his troops in front of me. He has been bragging in his letters that he now has thousands of ghost generals and over ten thousand troops. He is so powerful! I only have more than two hundred ghost generals.
There are many people around him, but he is so shameless." Wei Ziling laughed and drank with me with a wine cup.
"Haha, in fact, he just gave Zhou Xuan a terrible beating last time, otherwise he might have really lost five hundred." I laughed. This Zuo Chen is indeed someone who knows how to do this kind of thing. As the saying goes, it is true and false, so I can't blame him.
he.
"This kid is so unreliable." Wei Ziling laughed after hearing this.
After drinking it over and over again, Wei Ziling and I were both very drunk.
