Ancestor, please forgive the younger generation for committing a crime!
Chapter 68 Temptation (3)
Waving his hand, Dad Xu really wanted to end this topic this time, "By the way, let me tell you one more thing by the way, so that you don't have to worry about it." "
Standing up tall, Xu Zhengchuan smoothed the folds of his cuffs, and said casually: "The Xie family is in a similar situation to the Xu family, so they can get the attention of the Xu family when their talent disappears and their lifespan shortens. The rest, even if you know With such a method, it cannot be operated.”
"In this regard, you can rest assured that your life is very safe." Looking up, Xu Zhengchuan smiled gently, "Not everyone in our Xu family can make up their minds."
ha?
No, Rory talked a lot before, why not just tell him that no one can "enjoy" the "benefits" of the Xu family except the Xie family!In fact, this reason is the main reason. "It can't take advantage of it." Naturally, no one is willing to take the risk and kidnap someone.
After sorting out his thoughts, Xu Ruilang looked at Shi Shiran's departed father speechlessly, and the familiar depression and helplessness came to his mind again.
He was being teased by being a cat again!
He obviously looks like a well-dressed "gentle scum", but why is he actually an old fox with a black belly?It's still the kind that keeps calm on the surface, doesn't say anything in secret, and directly kills people without paying for their lives!
After another defeat, Xu Ruilang suddenly realized afterwards that he was being led by the nose. After a long while of depression, he finally gave up his plan to talk.
The morality is not enough, the little fox can't beat his own old fox who has become a spirit for the time being, so he can only retreat in defeat, put down his flag and drums, and save it for future battles!
……
Although Xu Ruilang dug up a lot of information from his father as much as possible, he still didn't know anything about the most critical part.Therefore, after he tried to deceive his mother again, but unfortunately was discovered and driven out, Gu Yu, who was "resting" at home, also welcomed his first visitor.
"Is this what the legend says, 'the breath is so weak that it looks like it's about to swallow its last breath'?"
Sitting unceremoniously on the edge of the bed, Xu Ruilang picked up a piece of apple that was just the right size from the fruit plate and stuffed it into his mouth, while saying vaguely: "I thought you were going to die, and I planned to come to see you The last side!"
"Stop sarcasm! You can't stop your mouth if you eat something!"
Chaotian rolled his eyes fiercely, and Gu Yu, who can only lie on the bed until now, muttered about "making a bad friend by mistake", while stealthily taking out a creased note from under the pillow.
Taking advantage of the blind spot of his sight, Gu Yu quickly stuffed the paper that had been folded several times into Xu Ruilang's hand, then lowered his voice, and said quickly: "This is all the things I have inquired about recently, that person's Things seem to be really not that simple!"
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Xu Ruilang to think about the intention of Gu Yu's actions, Gu's mother's gentle voice suddenly came from the door: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Lang, what do you want for lunch, rice or pasta?"
"Ah, that, Aunt Gu, I'm going to see Ayang later, so I won't stay for lunch, you don't need to prepare my portion."
Holding the note tightly in his hand, Xu Ruilang's heart shuddered, but he still greeted people as usual on his face.After politely rejecting Gu's mother's meal, he chatted wildly with Gu Yu for a long time, until he estimated that it was almost time before he got up and planned to leave.
"Master Gu, you should rest well! Don't send me off, there will be a signing in half a month, I hope your noble buttocks can recover before then, don't miss it!"
After laughing and waving to Gu Yu, Xu Ruilang solemnly said goodbye to the Gu family and his wife, and then walked out of the Gu family freely.
And after leaving Gu's house, he went non-stop to visit Qi Muyang who was "crying blind because of his disfigurement".
After also getting a small piece of paper and a whispered advice, Xu Ruilang bid farewell to everyone in the Qi family politely, and then returned to his villa with a normal expression.
As soon as he entered the door, Dad Xu happened to be sitting in the living room reading a newspaper. He looked up and found the young man who had just returned, and asked casually, "How are Xiao Yu and Mu Yang, are they okay, can they get up?"
"It's probably enough. Uncle Gu and Uncle Qi are too ruthless. Gu Yu is still lying on the bed and can't move. Mu Yang is better. At least he can get out of bed. It's just that he gets dizzy easily."
Feeling sad, Xu Ruilang patted his chest, and Xu Ruilang couldn't help feeling: "It's still best for you, if you don't do it easily, I'm lucky with my small body."
"Hmph, now I think I'm lucky? Who used to copy some books and yelled at me, insisting that I was punished inhumanely? Now, do you want to try a more humane method?" Turning over a page of the newspaper, Father Xu He snorted softly, deliberately sarcastic.
"Farewell, I think copying books is very good, very humane!" Waving his hands hastily, Xu Ruilang rejected his father's proposal with all his strength.
"Okay then, since you think copying books is pretty good, you can go and copy a dozen or twenty copies now, and I'll come back to check after a week."
Flicking out a word, Xu's father turned over another page of the newspaper without moving his expression.
"Ah? No! I've been quite honest recently, I haven't made any mistakes... Hey, wait a minute, don't do anything...Dad! Why am I going to copy books again? Give me a reason first... I Dad, wait a minute, don't be so violent..."
Passively taken from the first floor to the second floor, two silent bodyguards in black "swarmed" people into the study room, one was responsible for pushing Xu Ruilang to sit down by the desk, and the other brought out a stack of thick books , and handed over the pen and paper by the way.
"Master, this is what the master ordered. Please be sure to finish copying these books within a week."
"12345...6?! Why are there so many this time, you guys are kidding me!"
After roughly counting the stack of books on the table, Xu Ruilang was dumbfounded.
Of the six books, each has at least a hundred pages, and the total is at least nearly six hundred pages. Does it take him to finish copying it within a week?Just kidding!
"This is picked out by the master himself, not a joke." The night bodyguard replied sternly, "In addition, three meals a day will be delivered to you by a special person, and the bed in the cubicle will be made for you. If you need something, you can Keep us posted and hope you have a great week."
Still want him to have a good time?With so many books, he can't be happy!
He sat down angrily, and in order to express his protest and dissatisfaction, Xu Ruilang even childishly turned his back to the two bodyguards in black who said "bless him have a good time" with expressionless faces. .
Bowing silently, the two bodyguards in black didn't pay attention to the behavior of the young man who was obviously throwing a tantrum. After preparing everything, they both backed out.
Xu Ruilang, who was angry and ignorant when he heard the door closing behind him, became more and more angry.
Standing up abruptly, he punched the solid wood table next to him bitterly, then stared at the stack of books on the table for a while.He looked at the stack of books until he was about to burn a hole, then he looked away angrily, turned his head and went into the compartment.
Lifting the quilt, Xu Ruilang buried himself in the quilt from head to toe in depression, and then stopped moving.
Obviously, the young man still felt aggrieved and baffled. He couldn't figure out the reason why he was punished for copying books, so he simply went on strike.
The black-clothed bodyguard who was in charge of secretly observing the above-mentioned activities of the young man truthfully recorded the above-mentioned activities of the young man, and in a place where he could not see, under the quilt, Xu Ruilang secretly unfolded the two notes that Gu Yu and Qi Muyang gave him, and carefully examined them. up -
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!It seems that this matter is really unusual.Now I just hope that these two notes can give him some answers. Ayu and Ayang seem to have gained a lot...
The author has something to say: Facts have proved that Father Xu is a dark-bellied and extremely protective child-controller. Xu Ruilang’s way of talking about children’s shoes is wrong, and the correct way to open it should be to act like a baby~
☆, full moon
The next day, Xu Ruilang, who was persuaded by his mother and "willingly" accepted the punishment of copying the book, sat upright in front of the desk, holding a pen in his hand, and splashing ink on the special rice paper with a seemingly extremely focused face.
"...Doing nothing is in line with life and death, inaction is in line with morality, being happy and unrestrained is in harmony, and being different is in line with life..."
According to the information that A Yu inquired, the Gu family also seemed to have something similar to a key.So, the Qi family has it, the Gu family has it, does the Xu family have something like this?
"...The Dao of the Great Eternity, living beings do not exist, they become transformed but not slaughtered, all things live by relying on them, they don't know their virtues, they die by relying on them, they can't complain, they collect livestock without enriching them, and they donate to others. Suffering does not benefit poverty..."
Both A Yu and A Yang emphasized that they must not reveal the matter of Senior Shi, saying that it is speculation, but what is the basis for the guess?
"...Suddenly and vaguely, not to be an image, vaguely and suddenly, not to be used, to be vague, to be formless, to be transparent, not to be imaginary, to be soft and soft, to be comfortable, Pitching with Yin and Yang."
Now it seems that a secret can be concealed by the three families of Xu, Gu, and Qi so unanimously, how far will it be involved in the end?What was the reason for Shi Tian's previous order?What is the timing to say before you leave?Is it related to their recent confinement...
One question after another filled Xu Ruilang's mind, too many clues made him unable to figure out what to do, and the dark premonition made him feel a little restless.
——I always feel that something is going to happen recently, why is the feeling of being frightened so familiar...
After thinking hard and going out without any hope, Xu Ruilang obviously had no choice.Apart from scrutinizing the clues in his hands every day, all he can do now is to follow the "schedule" honestly and repeat the cycle of "getting up on time - copying books - eating - copying books - going to bed" Every day is boring and anxious in the schedule.
But it's also thanks to these days of being so boring that it exploded, Xu Ruilang's efficiency in copying books after so many days is amazing!
The first thing I do when I get up every day is to copy the book, and the moment before I close my eyes and go to sleep, I am still "not releasing the book" (here only the literal meaning of "not releasing the book").
The stack of books on the table gradually became "shorter", while the sheets of ink-scented rice paper grew inch by inch at a speed visible to the naked eye.So soon, on the top right of the desk, where the freshly baked "handwritten homework" is placed, a thick stack of papers gradually piled up, and the neat appearance is very pleasing to the eye.
——Especially in the eyes of Xu Zhengchuan who "passed by by accident", this stack of highly completed finished products is even more pleasing.
However, even if Xu Ruilang fulfilled the punishment by "forgetting sleep and food", after a week, he only copied five and a half books, and there was still half of the contents of the book left, but he really didn't have time to finish it.
"Well, since you didn't complete it within the stipulated time, let's add another week of punishment. As for the content of the additional punishment..." Crossing his fingers, Xu Zhengchuan relaxed on the soft cushion, "Read all the six books. I'll check in a week."
"Yes."
Not to mention how broken Xu Ruilang will be after receiving the additional penalty task, but to say that Xu's mother, who has been silently watching the "fight" between Xu's father and son, can't hide her worry at this moment.
"Can't we explain the matter to Xiao Lang? Xiao Lang will quit sooner or later if we keep him locked up like this. You..."
"Let's talk about it, it can be delayed for a few days, and that's all we can do now." Slowly suppressing his smile, Xu Ruilang's face could not hide the fatigue, "Originally we planned to completely end this in our generation." It's a pity, it's a pity, people are not as good as heaven!"
"Who can count on this? I just participated in a program, and unexpectedly encountered a space crack that is rare in a century, and it was a coincidence that I was sent to the forgotten world..." Ye Wu also sighed, with a serious expression on his face. Feeling helpless, "This kind of small probability event can happen to us. In the future, if someone tells me that he is willing to reconcile with us unconditionally, I don't think I will be too surprised."
"That's still surprising. After all, the Xu family was the one who felt sorry for him at the beginning, and then... If we can ignore this, we are too lucky to be creditors." With a cooperative smile, Xu Zhengchuan said to himself joked.
Ye Wu was not as relaxed as Xu Zhengchuan, because she remembered the messy account in the early years, her expression was inevitably a little dark: "Luck is not good? If it wasn't for me, you and him would have been able to get along peacefully long ago. Yes. It’s all to help me, so you brothers turned against each other, I should have known..."
"If I had known earlier, I would have chosen to do this."
With his arms around his waist, Xu Zhengchuan gently and firmly cut off the self-blaming words of his Mrs. Xu, and then softly comforted him: "At the beginning, no one expected that the situation would develop into that situation, and even if it is really necessary to investigate Responsibility, obviously, mine is the biggest one."
"Do not……"
"Hey, don't be in a hurry to help me get rid of the crime." Xu Zhengchuan raised his index finger and gently touched the lips of his partner in his arms. Xu Zhengchuan smiled calmly, but the pain and guilt in his eyes could not be concealed, "I set the fire Yes, I also sprinkled the drug, and I was the chief culprit who caused the destruction of the city. This is the crime I committed, and it is also the responsibility I must bear."
"But you've done enough in these years!" Ye Wu grasped the finger that the man put on her lips, and Ye Wu's eyebrows were stained with eagerness and fear, "And it was the people in Los Angeles who made the first move. It can only be regarded as a failure of resistance, and it is not intentional sabotage, and you don't need to take full responsibility..."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I don't intend to sacrifice myself to make atonement, don't worry."
Feeling distressed and helpless looking at his overly sensitive partner, Xu Zhengchuan sighed and had to temporarily suppress the thought in his heart, and comforted the person in his arms wholeheartedly.
Xu Zhengchuan coaxed people to the point of saying "a wife who is both virtuous and beautiful should be cherished", "the family is too big to let go", "the son is too young and an idiot and needs to be trained" and so on. Turning around, there was a faint smile on his face.
"Old and unscrupulous! You are such an old person, what are you talking about?" After wiping away her tears, Ye Wu barely hooked the corner of her mouth, "Anyway, you only remember one thing, I will be there wherever you are, no matter what Wherever you go, I’ll just follow you.”
"Okay, okay, I remember it all."
Being forced to retreat steadily, Xu Zhengchuan's face was full of sweet distress: "Just because of your words, I don't dare to give up my old life easily. We agreed at the beginning, life and death are the same Coffin, I have not forgotten."
"Hmph, it's good if you don't forget. Anyway, if you annoy me, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life. Let's see if you still dare to mess around." After gouging someone out, Ye Wu spoke tough, but his attitude was soft. down.
"Don't dare, don't dare, I don't dare to make you angry again if I have the guts. When you get angry, it's me who will suffer." Xu Zhengchuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and took the opportunity to divert the conversation, "But Xiao Lang Let’s keep it a secret over there, let him come out after the full moon of this month, and save him from sneaking around, and it would be bad if something happened.”
"Okay, but don't press him to copy books anymore, let him have a good rest. After this period of time, he has to go to work, and when he gets busy, he won't be able to take care of this side of things. "
After a few more words of advice, Ye Wu put his hands aside and let Xu Zhengchuan and Xu Ruilang's father and son continue to "fight" without any involvement.
Xu Ruilang was naturally unaware of the conversation between his model couple who had been together for ten years, but this did not prevent him from trying to "escape from the cage" in the next week.
Picking locks, drugging, confronting...
After trying again and again, Xu Ruilang's plans all failed.And after being blocked again and being "invited" back to the study respectfully, he finally broke out.
It's night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, which is a good time to "murder and set fire".
Knowing that his parents are not at home tonight, Xu Ruilang simply plans to let go, eager to escape this "cage" tonight!
Although I don't know why my father tried to restrict his actions, or to protect his safety, or other reasons for his own good, Xu Ruilang knew in his heart that no matter what he said, his parents would never harm him , always thinking about him.
However, even though he understands his parents' painstaking efforts, as the agreed deadline is getting closer, the uneasiness in the dark makes him uneasy. Do not go.
The timing of my father's confinement was so coincidental that Xu Ruilang had to suspect that the incident that would happen in the near future might have something to do with them.If he guesses wrong, it doesn't matter, but if unfortunately the guess comes true...
Xu Ruilang felt that, just to be on the safe side, he'd better go and see it with his own eyes.The so-called "surprise", the last "happy" is the most important, otherwise he will go crazy if there is no surprise but no joy.
He made up his mind to get out to see it with his own eyes, so Xu Ruilang didn't plan to take the usual way to get out of trouble this time, but chose to ripen a psychedelic grass quietly, and then threw it out when the bodyguards at the door were not paying attention. Outside the door, you only need to wait quietly for a while before you can get a satisfactory result.
Ten seconds later, the expected dull sound of falling to the ground sounded.After silently counting the number, Xu Ruilang clapped his hands in satisfaction——the graduation went smoothly, perfect!
By the way, as an afterthought, he was worried about the fall of the downed bodyguards. Xu Ruilang made a false cross on his chest without sincerity, then calmed down, and raised his hand to cover the door lock.
The power of the palm spat lightly, and the next second, the specially reinforced door lock automatically opened.Immediately, the young man who was ready quickly walked out the door.
——The first step of "Escape Plan", success!
Carefully avoiding the sleeping people in the corridor, Xu Ruilang kept apologizing in his heart, while running extremely nimbly to the stairs on the second floor, holding on to the railing, and then poking his head out cautiously——
Hey, why are there only so few people here?
Unbelievable, he looked around carefully, Xu Ruilang looked at the three or five bodyguards downstairs who were dutifully guarding their posts, but felt a little puzzled.
He remembered that there were not so few people on duty in the past, especially in the past two days, in order to prevent him from making mistakes, he had nearly doubled the number of people.Now that people are so small, it can't be another trap, the kind that is specially waiting for him to throw himself into the trap?
The decisively skeptical Xu Ruilang became more and more cautious.
After ripening two more psychedelic plants just in case, and putting down a few bodyguards who could be seen by the naked eye, Xu Ruilang stood where he was and waited quietly for a while.
The curling white smoke gradually dissipated, and Xu Ruilang went downstairs quietly until he was sure that nothing had slipped through the net. Then, without stopping at all, he ran towards the door as quickly as possible against the wall.
Tomorrow is the full moon, and it is said that there will be a Ursid meteor shower at that time, which is quite a rare astronomical sight.I just don't know why tomorrow was chosen as the agreed deadline. Is tomorrow a special day because of the full moon?Or because the meteor shower looks good...
Boundlessly thinking about something, Xu Ruilang quickly ran to the gate.
"Squeak-"
Great, just the last step...uh!
Pushing open the door, the moonlight sprinkled quietly in the courtyard like water. Under the hazy moonlight, the courtyard with green grass and flowers everywhere is a beautiful scenery, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
However, facing the beautiful scenery of this school, Xu Ruilang has no intention of appreciating it at this time.
Looking up, the bright moon hanging high in the night was extremely conspicuous, but what surprised him was that the bright moon that was supposed to be incomplete at this moment actually——
is round? !
The author has something to say: Half an hour before midnight, here comes my brother~
☆, ceremony
Maybe he was thinking wrong, the moon before the full moon is actually quite round...
The luck in Xu Ruilang's heart was completely shattered the moment he witnessed the brilliant meteor shower across the sky.
The spectacular meteor shower was reflected in his eyes, and Xu Ruilang, who realized that something was wrong, didn't bother to think about the reason for remembering the wrong date at this time. After roughly estimating the time, he turned around in a circle, looked at a direction and immediately raised his head. The legs flew up!
It was agreed to gather at the old place at midnight, and the time was confused on his side, and Gu Yu and Mu Yang's side will definitely not go anywhere smoothly...
Not many supernatural abilities gathered at the feet. In the dark night, the handsome young man in short-sleeved trousers raised his breath, and with a light kick on his feet, he could jump several feet away.Almost in the blink of an eye, he leaped over the hundreds of meters long forest path, and then quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
After climbing over a fence and turning a corner, Xu Ruilang tried his best to leap forward while identifying the direction.Supernatural powers, spiritual plants, elixirs...everything that could be used was used, and he almost exhausted all methods, not daring to relax at all to rush to the predetermined location.
The full moon above his head was constantly moving, and the surrounding scenery was also retreating rapidly. Xu Ruilang felt the rapid consumption of the supernatural powers in his body, and at the same time was secretly worried about the passing time.
So far, he can only do his best to ensure that he can arrive at the scheduled location on time.If even he misses the time, the "surprise" on the note can't be received, it's no big deal, and if something that shouldn't happen happens, then he will regret it and die!
Maybe it was the uneasiness in the dark that stimulated his strength, or maybe it was the god of fate who still took care of him after all. No matter how you say it, Xu Ruilang always rushed to the predetermined place before the power in his body was exhausted, and then relying on Memory, successfully found the traces left at the beginning.
"It should be here...'the place where the power disappears', this should refer to the place where I used the summoning spell."
Spreading out the note in his hand, Xu Ruilang ran around the area around Xie's old house while comparing the points marked on it: "But where is the Xie's secret room? Why didn't I remember to ask before? Mistake...huh?"
Xu Ruilang, who had just walked around from the front hall to the backyard of Xie's old house and was having a headache finding his way, suddenly heard a small rustling sound the moment he turned the corner.Immediately dodging and hiding in the corner of the wall, he subconsciously held his breath, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible, and at the same time, he focused on distinguishing the sudden sound carefully.
"...Do you think it is possible for him to come? I haven't contacted him for so many years, and suddenly there is a specious news. Could it be true..."
"...It's enough for the older generation to believe. We... Anyway, we don't care about our business this time, we just stay honest and don't cause trouble..."
"...That's right, then let's hurry up...the backyard...twelve o'clock...it's almost time..."
"...Okay...Assemble..."
It's people talking!
——This was Xu Ruilang's first subconscious reaction.
It's late at night, there are people here?Will it make them?
——This is Xu Ruilang's second reaction that gradually came to his senses.
What does twelve o'clock mean?Is their meeting place in the backyard?What are you doing there?
——This is Xu Ruilang's third reaction after he fully realized it.
As soon as the three reactions came out, especially the question that came to mind at the end, Xu Ruilang's heart shuddered immediately, and a certain premonition grew stronger.
Perhaps, he should take a look at the past. He always feels that the ultimate purpose of this group of people is likely to be similar to what he guessed. No matter how bad it is, it is almost certain that they are related.
It happened that the direction where the other party was walking away was also the place Xu Ruilang wanted to investigate, so after hiding his figure as carefully as possible, Xu Ruilang lightened his steps and quietly followed the two of them, following them from a distance. up.
The surrounding scenery gradually became unfamiliar, and Xu Ruilang's short journey was extremely hard.
If it wasn't for the two people in front of them talking and laughing all the time, and the leisurely strolling appearance didn't seem to be pretending, or he would have suspected that someone had already discovered his existence and deliberately slipped him away to play without saying anything. By the way, he was also planning to abduct him to a remote place to kill him!
While complaining silently in his heart, Xu Ruilang also raised his vigilance.Although he felt that the two people in front did not seem to be putting on an act, but in case of emergency, it is better to be careful.
However, the facts proved that Xu Ruilang's observation ability has not deteriorated, and his luck is as good as ever.
Under the leadership of two careless "enthusiasts", Xu Ruilang smoothly found the meeting place of the other party, and at the same time, even more coincidentally, the meeting place of this group of people was actually Xie's house The location of the Chamber of Secrets!
Surprises continued one after another, and Xu Ruilang was almost dumbfounded for a moment.
But fortunately, he came back to his senses quickly. Just one minute before he was discovered, he slid into the dense bushes next to him, squatted down, and perfectly covered his figure .
"You're here at last! What are you doing? The whole group is waiting for you two. You guys are too slow."
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. I just got lost accidentally..."
"Okay, okay, come here quickly, the ceremony will begin immediately, we must have fewer people."
"Yes, right away!"
Hiding in the bushes, Xu Ruilang cautiously poked his head out until there was no more sound around him.Looking up at the sky, the young man who only knew a little bit of superficial knowledge could only tell that it was not far from twelve o'clock at midnight, but he couldn't deduce how much time was left.
Without further ado, he had to find a hidden place to hide first.Now that everything is ready, when the time comes, the so-called "surprise" should be able to show up, he will wait and see.
……
"The hour is approaching, Third Uncle, let's start."
Under the dim light, Xu Zhengchuan's usual gentle and refined face was solemn and serious, and his slightly frowned eyebrows made him look a little indifferent and unreasonable, and this was felt the most by the people standing beside him.
"Zheng Chuan, do you have something important to do?"
"How do you say that?" Xu Zhengchuan raised his eyebrows in surprise as he shifted a piece of equipment on the table, "Tonight's matter is the top priority of our Xu family, and other things can be postponed, everyone is like this, Zheng Chuan is naturally the same, why did uncle say that?"
"...Well, since that's the case, the ceremony is approaching, let's begin."
After a moment of hesitation, the third uncle avoided the conversation, and took the lead to take a step forward: "The opening of the ceremony requires a lot of energy. Uncle is getting old, so I'm afraid he won't be able to last until the end of the ceremony. We might as well put in the effort earlier to suppress the formation." The task is entrusted to you."
"Yes, I'm following your orders."
Taking a step back silently, Xu Zhengchuan responded with a slight cup of his hand.
Seeing that the tone of the man's promise and the manner in which he raised his hands were the same as usual, third uncle's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he couldn't help but began to doubt what he had just thought.
——Perhaps he really thought too much, Zheng Chuan has always been responsible and prudent, how could there be an expression similar to impatience and sarcasm, he must be dazzled.
"The hour is up, the ceremony begins!"
The majestic announcement seemed to ring in the ears of every Xu family present.
Almost subconsciously, at the moment when the voice just fell, all the Xu family disciples set up their postures, and after they shouted in unison, hazy blue lights suddenly flew out from them, circling in mid-air After a while, like a galaxy, they merged into the small three-legged tripod in front of the secret room.
As countless blue lights poured into the tripod, the small three-legged tripod, which was originally dim and dusty, seemed to have some rust, gradually became haloed.At this moment, the eyes of the third uncle who was closest to Ding suddenly froze, and his hands hanging by his sides stretched out flatly. After a low shout, a more intense and deeper green light than before suddenly radiated from the palm of his hand, without any trace. All that was reserved was poured into the small tripod, which became more and more simple.
At the same time, low-pitched chant had already resounded through the entire area at some point, and the atmosphere on the field became more and more solemn.
As time passed, gradually, the blue light surrounding the tripod became more and more intense, and the rust remaining on the tripod began to fall off gradually. As the light flowed, the three-legged and simple small tripod gradually became flawless...
However, the three-legged tripod was slowly transforming, and the third uncle, who had been continuously inputting energy into the tripod, was gradually exhausted and stretched.
Seeing the old man over half a century old with pale lips and cold sweat, even the energy injected into the cauldron began to flicker and gradually became unstable. Xu Zhengchuan, who had been closely monitoring the situation, immediately took a step forward, waved his hand and shot Simultaneously with a cyan energy beam, he used a skillful force on his hand, and quickly replaced the person.
"Hu, hu, hu-"
Panting heavily, the third uncle, who was helped to the side to rest, almost lost his strength, and fell asleep before he could say a word, so he naturally didn't see what happened next.
——If you saw it, it is estimated that things would not develop like this later.
"Help Third Uncle down to rest, and the rest of you don't have to stay. Just leave the rest to me." With his back to everyone, Xu Zhengchuan ordered lightly.
"Can……"
"Go back."
"but……"
"Get out!"
"……Yes."
Not caring about the worried people who left the ceremony place, Xu Zhengchuan stood quietly in place after sternly drinking everyone away, and the pure energy transformed by the supernatural power in his body was still pouring into the little statue in front of him. Ding, the expression on his face became more and more unpredictable.
"Come out, you've been here long ago, haven't you, let's have a good talk."
Under the misty blue light, Xu Zhengchuan's handsome face was reflected with a green face and fangs, but Xu Ruilang, who had been hiding in the bushes all the time, was trembling in his heart when he heard the words, and his whole body couldn't help being excited!
He was found?
It's over, it's over, he's going to explain why he's here, I'm afraid he won't be able to get away with it this time...
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Uh? !
Xu Ruilang, who had made the decision to break the jar, froze in place, before his brain could react, his body had already moved one step ahead.
The half-raised body subconsciously shrank back. The young man who had a premonition that was getting worse was uneasy, and the figure covered by the bushes trembled unconsciously.
If he heard it right, the owner of that voice shouldn't be here at this time, nor should he have such a familiar tone, let alone——
"Brother, long time no see, how are you doing?"
As if he had met a friend he hadn't seen for many years, Xu Zhengchuan's tone was friendly, and his expression improved a lot: "I said goodbye in a hurry, and I didn't have time to leave a few words. I have been very regretful all these years, and I regret that I didn't say it to you face to face. There will be a period later, and I will also say...sorry."
"Don't be sorry, I've had a good life these years." The voice was light, the familiar voice as clear as water was full of alienation as always, "There's no need to be sorry, you don't owe me anything."
"..."
There was a moment of silence, and when Xu Zhengchuan spoke again, the redundant emotions had been removed from his voice: "Brother Gan, it was my husband and I who failed you back then, and the Xu family couldn't help you. In terms of reason, Said, I should unconditionally agree to any request of yours, but this matter is of great importance, please forgive me for not being able to simply agree..."
Xu Ruilang could tell that his father's tone was unprecedentedly serious at the moment, as if he was talking about something important.But, in the end
Standing up tall, Xu Zhengchuan smoothed the folds of his cuffs, and said casually: "The Xie family is in a similar situation to the Xu family, so they can get the attention of the Xu family when their talent disappears and their lifespan shortens. The rest, even if you know With such a method, it cannot be operated.”
"In this regard, you can rest assured that your life is very safe." Looking up, Xu Zhengchuan smiled gently, "Not everyone in our Xu family can make up their minds."
ha?
No, Rory talked a lot before, why not just tell him that no one can "enjoy" the "benefits" of the Xu family except the Xie family!In fact, this reason is the main reason. "It can't take advantage of it." Naturally, no one is willing to take the risk and kidnap someone.
After sorting out his thoughts, Xu Ruilang looked at Shi Shiran's departed father speechlessly, and the familiar depression and helplessness came to his mind again.
He was being teased by being a cat again!
He obviously looks like a well-dressed "gentle scum", but why is he actually an old fox with a black belly?It's still the kind that keeps calm on the surface, doesn't say anything in secret, and directly kills people without paying for their lives!
After another defeat, Xu Ruilang suddenly realized afterwards that he was being led by the nose. After a long while of depression, he finally gave up his plan to talk.
The morality is not enough, the little fox can't beat his own old fox who has become a spirit for the time being, so he can only retreat in defeat, put down his flag and drums, and save it for future battles!
……
Although Xu Ruilang dug up a lot of information from his father as much as possible, he still didn't know anything about the most critical part.Therefore, after he tried to deceive his mother again, but unfortunately was discovered and driven out, Gu Yu, who was "resting" at home, also welcomed his first visitor.
"Is this what the legend says, 'the breath is so weak that it looks like it's about to swallow its last breath'?"
Sitting unceremoniously on the edge of the bed, Xu Ruilang picked up a piece of apple that was just the right size from the fruit plate and stuffed it into his mouth, while saying vaguely: "I thought you were going to die, and I planned to come to see you The last side!"
"Stop sarcasm! You can't stop your mouth if you eat something!"
Chaotian rolled his eyes fiercely, and Gu Yu, who can only lie on the bed until now, muttered about "making a bad friend by mistake", while stealthily taking out a creased note from under the pillow.
Taking advantage of the blind spot of his sight, Gu Yu quickly stuffed the paper that had been folded several times into Xu Ruilang's hand, then lowered his voice, and said quickly: "This is all the things I have inquired about recently, that person's Things seem to be really not that simple!"
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Xu Ruilang to think about the intention of Gu Yu's actions, Gu's mother's gentle voice suddenly came from the door: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Lang, what do you want for lunch, rice or pasta?"
"Ah, that, Aunt Gu, I'm going to see Ayang later, so I won't stay for lunch, you don't need to prepare my portion."
Holding the note tightly in his hand, Xu Ruilang's heart shuddered, but he still greeted people as usual on his face.After politely rejecting Gu's mother's meal, he chatted wildly with Gu Yu for a long time, until he estimated that it was almost time before he got up and planned to leave.
"Master Gu, you should rest well! Don't send me off, there will be a signing in half a month, I hope your noble buttocks can recover before then, don't miss it!"
After laughing and waving to Gu Yu, Xu Ruilang solemnly said goodbye to the Gu family and his wife, and then walked out of the Gu family freely.
And after leaving Gu's house, he went non-stop to visit Qi Muyang who was "crying blind because of his disfigurement".
After also getting a small piece of paper and a whispered advice, Xu Ruilang bid farewell to everyone in the Qi family politely, and then returned to his villa with a normal expression.
As soon as he entered the door, Dad Xu happened to be sitting in the living room reading a newspaper. He looked up and found the young man who had just returned, and asked casually, "How are Xiao Yu and Mu Yang, are they okay, can they get up?"
"It's probably enough. Uncle Gu and Uncle Qi are too ruthless. Gu Yu is still lying on the bed and can't move. Mu Yang is better. At least he can get out of bed. It's just that he gets dizzy easily."
Feeling sad, Xu Ruilang patted his chest, and Xu Ruilang couldn't help feeling: "It's still best for you, if you don't do it easily, I'm lucky with my small body."
"Hmph, now I think I'm lucky? Who used to copy some books and yelled at me, insisting that I was punished inhumanely? Now, do you want to try a more humane method?" Turning over a page of the newspaper, Father Xu He snorted softly, deliberately sarcastic.
"Farewell, I think copying books is very good, very humane!" Waving his hands hastily, Xu Ruilang rejected his father's proposal with all his strength.
"Okay then, since you think copying books is pretty good, you can go and copy a dozen or twenty copies now, and I'll come back to check after a week."
Flicking out a word, Xu's father turned over another page of the newspaper without moving his expression.
"Ah? No! I've been quite honest recently, I haven't made any mistakes... Hey, wait a minute, don't do anything...Dad! Why am I going to copy books again? Give me a reason first... I Dad, wait a minute, don't be so violent..."
Passively taken from the first floor to the second floor, two silent bodyguards in black "swarmed" people into the study room, one was responsible for pushing Xu Ruilang to sit down by the desk, and the other brought out a stack of thick books , and handed over the pen and paper by the way.
"Master, this is what the master ordered. Please be sure to finish copying these books within a week."
"12345...6?! Why are there so many this time, you guys are kidding me!"
After roughly counting the stack of books on the table, Xu Ruilang was dumbfounded.
Of the six books, each has at least a hundred pages, and the total is at least nearly six hundred pages. Does it take him to finish copying it within a week?Just kidding!
"This is picked out by the master himself, not a joke." The night bodyguard replied sternly, "In addition, three meals a day will be delivered to you by a special person, and the bed in the cubicle will be made for you. If you need something, you can Keep us posted and hope you have a great week."
Still want him to have a good time?With so many books, he can't be happy!
He sat down angrily, and in order to express his protest and dissatisfaction, Xu Ruilang even childishly turned his back to the two bodyguards in black who said "bless him have a good time" with expressionless faces. .
Bowing silently, the two bodyguards in black didn't pay attention to the behavior of the young man who was obviously throwing a tantrum. After preparing everything, they both backed out.
Xu Ruilang, who was angry and ignorant when he heard the door closing behind him, became more and more angry.
Standing up abruptly, he punched the solid wood table next to him bitterly, then stared at the stack of books on the table for a while.He looked at the stack of books until he was about to burn a hole, then he looked away angrily, turned his head and went into the compartment.
Lifting the quilt, Xu Ruilang buried himself in the quilt from head to toe in depression, and then stopped moving.
Obviously, the young man still felt aggrieved and baffled. He couldn't figure out the reason why he was punished for copying books, so he simply went on strike.
The black-clothed bodyguard who was in charge of secretly observing the above-mentioned activities of the young man truthfully recorded the above-mentioned activities of the young man, and in a place where he could not see, under the quilt, Xu Ruilang secretly unfolded the two notes that Gu Yu and Qi Muyang gave him, and carefully examined them. up -
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!It seems that this matter is really unusual.Now I just hope that these two notes can give him some answers. Ayu and Ayang seem to have gained a lot...
The author has something to say: Facts have proved that Father Xu is a dark-bellied and extremely protective child-controller. Xu Ruilang’s way of talking about children’s shoes is wrong, and the correct way to open it should be to act like a baby~
☆, full moon
The next day, Xu Ruilang, who was persuaded by his mother and "willingly" accepted the punishment of copying the book, sat upright in front of the desk, holding a pen in his hand, and splashing ink on the special rice paper with a seemingly extremely focused face.
"...Doing nothing is in line with life and death, inaction is in line with morality, being happy and unrestrained is in harmony, and being different is in line with life..."
According to the information that A Yu inquired, the Gu family also seemed to have something similar to a key.So, the Qi family has it, the Gu family has it, does the Xu family have something like this?
"...The Dao of the Great Eternity, living beings do not exist, they become transformed but not slaughtered, all things live by relying on them, they don't know their virtues, they die by relying on them, they can't complain, they collect livestock without enriching them, and they donate to others. Suffering does not benefit poverty..."
Both A Yu and A Yang emphasized that they must not reveal the matter of Senior Shi, saying that it is speculation, but what is the basis for the guess?
"...Suddenly and vaguely, not to be an image, vaguely and suddenly, not to be used, to be vague, to be formless, to be transparent, not to be imaginary, to be soft and soft, to be comfortable, Pitching with Yin and Yang."
Now it seems that a secret can be concealed by the three families of Xu, Gu, and Qi so unanimously, how far will it be involved in the end?What was the reason for Shi Tian's previous order?What is the timing to say before you leave?Is it related to their recent confinement...
One question after another filled Xu Ruilang's mind, too many clues made him unable to figure out what to do, and the dark premonition made him feel a little restless.
——I always feel that something is going to happen recently, why is the feeling of being frightened so familiar...
After thinking hard and going out without any hope, Xu Ruilang obviously had no choice.Apart from scrutinizing the clues in his hands every day, all he can do now is to follow the "schedule" honestly and repeat the cycle of "getting up on time - copying books - eating - copying books - going to bed" Every day is boring and anxious in the schedule.
But it's also thanks to these days of being so boring that it exploded, Xu Ruilang's efficiency in copying books after so many days is amazing!
The first thing I do when I get up every day is to copy the book, and the moment before I close my eyes and go to sleep, I am still "not releasing the book" (here only the literal meaning of "not releasing the book").
The stack of books on the table gradually became "shorter", while the sheets of ink-scented rice paper grew inch by inch at a speed visible to the naked eye.So soon, on the top right of the desk, where the freshly baked "handwritten homework" is placed, a thick stack of papers gradually piled up, and the neat appearance is very pleasing to the eye.
——Especially in the eyes of Xu Zhengchuan who "passed by by accident", this stack of highly completed finished products is even more pleasing.
However, even if Xu Ruilang fulfilled the punishment by "forgetting sleep and food", after a week, he only copied five and a half books, and there was still half of the contents of the book left, but he really didn't have time to finish it.
"Well, since you didn't complete it within the stipulated time, let's add another week of punishment. As for the content of the additional punishment..." Crossing his fingers, Xu Zhengchuan relaxed on the soft cushion, "Read all the six books. I'll check in a week."
"Yes."
Not to mention how broken Xu Ruilang will be after receiving the additional penalty task, but to say that Xu's mother, who has been silently watching the "fight" between Xu's father and son, can't hide her worry at this moment.
"Can't we explain the matter to Xiao Lang? Xiao Lang will quit sooner or later if we keep him locked up like this. You..."
"Let's talk about it, it can be delayed for a few days, and that's all we can do now." Slowly suppressing his smile, Xu Ruilang's face could not hide the fatigue, "Originally we planned to completely end this in our generation." It's a pity, it's a pity, people are not as good as heaven!"
"Who can count on this? I just participated in a program, and unexpectedly encountered a space crack that is rare in a century, and it was a coincidence that I was sent to the forgotten world..." Ye Wu also sighed, with a serious expression on his face. Feeling helpless, "This kind of small probability event can happen to us. In the future, if someone tells me that he is willing to reconcile with us unconditionally, I don't think I will be too surprised."
"That's still surprising. After all, the Xu family was the one who felt sorry for him at the beginning, and then... If we can ignore this, we are too lucky to be creditors." With a cooperative smile, Xu Zhengchuan said to himself joked.
Ye Wu was not as relaxed as Xu Zhengchuan, because she remembered the messy account in the early years, her expression was inevitably a little dark: "Luck is not good? If it wasn't for me, you and him would have been able to get along peacefully long ago. Yes. It’s all to help me, so you brothers turned against each other, I should have known..."
"If I had known earlier, I would have chosen to do this."
With his arms around his waist, Xu Zhengchuan gently and firmly cut off the self-blaming words of his Mrs. Xu, and then softly comforted him: "At the beginning, no one expected that the situation would develop into that situation, and even if it is really necessary to investigate Responsibility, obviously, mine is the biggest one."
"Do not……"
"Hey, don't be in a hurry to help me get rid of the crime." Xu Zhengchuan raised his index finger and gently touched the lips of his partner in his arms. Xu Zhengchuan smiled calmly, but the pain and guilt in his eyes could not be concealed, "I set the fire Yes, I also sprinkled the drug, and I was the chief culprit who caused the destruction of the city. This is the crime I committed, and it is also the responsibility I must bear."
"But you've done enough in these years!" Ye Wu grasped the finger that the man put on her lips, and Ye Wu's eyebrows were stained with eagerness and fear, "And it was the people in Los Angeles who made the first move. It can only be regarded as a failure of resistance, and it is not intentional sabotage, and you don't need to take full responsibility..."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I don't intend to sacrifice myself to make atonement, don't worry."
Feeling distressed and helpless looking at his overly sensitive partner, Xu Zhengchuan sighed and had to temporarily suppress the thought in his heart, and comforted the person in his arms wholeheartedly.
Xu Zhengchuan coaxed people to the point of saying "a wife who is both virtuous and beautiful should be cherished", "the family is too big to let go", "the son is too young and an idiot and needs to be trained" and so on. Turning around, there was a faint smile on his face.
"Old and unscrupulous! You are such an old person, what are you talking about?" After wiping away her tears, Ye Wu barely hooked the corner of her mouth, "Anyway, you only remember one thing, I will be there wherever you are, no matter what Wherever you go, I’ll just follow you.”
"Okay, okay, I remember it all."
Being forced to retreat steadily, Xu Zhengchuan's face was full of sweet distress: "Just because of your words, I don't dare to give up my old life easily. We agreed at the beginning, life and death are the same Coffin, I have not forgotten."
"Hmph, it's good if you don't forget. Anyway, if you annoy me, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life. Let's see if you still dare to mess around." After gouging someone out, Ye Wu spoke tough, but his attitude was soft. down.
"Don't dare, don't dare, I don't dare to make you angry again if I have the guts. When you get angry, it's me who will suffer." Xu Zhengchuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and took the opportunity to divert the conversation, "But Xiao Lang Let’s keep it a secret over there, let him come out after the full moon of this month, and save him from sneaking around, and it would be bad if something happened.”
"Okay, but don't press him to copy books anymore, let him have a good rest. After this period of time, he has to go to work, and when he gets busy, he won't be able to take care of this side of things. "
After a few more words of advice, Ye Wu put his hands aside and let Xu Zhengchuan and Xu Ruilang's father and son continue to "fight" without any involvement.
Xu Ruilang was naturally unaware of the conversation between his model couple who had been together for ten years, but this did not prevent him from trying to "escape from the cage" in the next week.
Picking locks, drugging, confronting...
After trying again and again, Xu Ruilang's plans all failed.And after being blocked again and being "invited" back to the study respectfully, he finally broke out.
It's night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, which is a good time to "murder and set fire".
Knowing that his parents are not at home tonight, Xu Ruilang simply plans to let go, eager to escape this "cage" tonight!
Although I don't know why my father tried to restrict his actions, or to protect his safety, or other reasons for his own good, Xu Ruilang knew in his heart that no matter what he said, his parents would never harm him , always thinking about him.
However, even though he understands his parents' painstaking efforts, as the agreed deadline is getting closer, the uneasiness in the dark makes him uneasy. Do not go.
The timing of my father's confinement was so coincidental that Xu Ruilang had to suspect that the incident that would happen in the near future might have something to do with them.If he guesses wrong, it doesn't matter, but if unfortunately the guess comes true...
Xu Ruilang felt that, just to be on the safe side, he'd better go and see it with his own eyes.The so-called "surprise", the last "happy" is the most important, otherwise he will go crazy if there is no surprise but no joy.
He made up his mind to get out to see it with his own eyes, so Xu Ruilang didn't plan to take the usual way to get out of trouble this time, but chose to ripen a psychedelic grass quietly, and then threw it out when the bodyguards at the door were not paying attention. Outside the door, you only need to wait quietly for a while before you can get a satisfactory result.
Ten seconds later, the expected dull sound of falling to the ground sounded.After silently counting the number, Xu Ruilang clapped his hands in satisfaction——the graduation went smoothly, perfect!
By the way, as an afterthought, he was worried about the fall of the downed bodyguards. Xu Ruilang made a false cross on his chest without sincerity, then calmed down, and raised his hand to cover the door lock.
The power of the palm spat lightly, and the next second, the specially reinforced door lock automatically opened.Immediately, the young man who was ready quickly walked out the door.
——The first step of "Escape Plan", success!
Carefully avoiding the sleeping people in the corridor, Xu Ruilang kept apologizing in his heart, while running extremely nimbly to the stairs on the second floor, holding on to the railing, and then poking his head out cautiously——
Hey, why are there only so few people here?
Unbelievable, he looked around carefully, Xu Ruilang looked at the three or five bodyguards downstairs who were dutifully guarding their posts, but felt a little puzzled.
He remembered that there were not so few people on duty in the past, especially in the past two days, in order to prevent him from making mistakes, he had nearly doubled the number of people.Now that people are so small, it can't be another trap, the kind that is specially waiting for him to throw himself into the trap?
The decisively skeptical Xu Ruilang became more and more cautious.
After ripening two more psychedelic plants just in case, and putting down a few bodyguards who could be seen by the naked eye, Xu Ruilang stood where he was and waited quietly for a while.
The curling white smoke gradually dissipated, and Xu Ruilang went downstairs quietly until he was sure that nothing had slipped through the net. Then, without stopping at all, he ran towards the door as quickly as possible against the wall.
Tomorrow is the full moon, and it is said that there will be a Ursid meteor shower at that time, which is quite a rare astronomical sight.I just don't know why tomorrow was chosen as the agreed deadline. Is tomorrow a special day because of the full moon?Or because the meteor shower looks good...
Boundlessly thinking about something, Xu Ruilang quickly ran to the gate.
"Squeak-"
Great, just the last step...uh!
Pushing open the door, the moonlight sprinkled quietly in the courtyard like water. Under the hazy moonlight, the courtyard with green grass and flowers everywhere is a beautiful scenery, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
However, facing the beautiful scenery of this school, Xu Ruilang has no intention of appreciating it at this time.
Looking up, the bright moon hanging high in the night was extremely conspicuous, but what surprised him was that the bright moon that was supposed to be incomplete at this moment actually——
is round? !
The author has something to say: Half an hour before midnight, here comes my brother~
☆, ceremony
Maybe he was thinking wrong, the moon before the full moon is actually quite round...
The luck in Xu Ruilang's heart was completely shattered the moment he witnessed the brilliant meteor shower across the sky.
The spectacular meteor shower was reflected in his eyes, and Xu Ruilang, who realized that something was wrong, didn't bother to think about the reason for remembering the wrong date at this time. After roughly estimating the time, he turned around in a circle, looked at a direction and immediately raised his head. The legs flew up!
It was agreed to gather at the old place at midnight, and the time was confused on his side, and Gu Yu and Mu Yang's side will definitely not go anywhere smoothly...
Not many supernatural abilities gathered at the feet. In the dark night, the handsome young man in short-sleeved trousers raised his breath, and with a light kick on his feet, he could jump several feet away.Almost in the blink of an eye, he leaped over the hundreds of meters long forest path, and then quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
After climbing over a fence and turning a corner, Xu Ruilang tried his best to leap forward while identifying the direction.Supernatural powers, spiritual plants, elixirs...everything that could be used was used, and he almost exhausted all methods, not daring to relax at all to rush to the predetermined location.
The full moon above his head was constantly moving, and the surrounding scenery was also retreating rapidly. Xu Ruilang felt the rapid consumption of the supernatural powers in his body, and at the same time was secretly worried about the passing time.
So far, he can only do his best to ensure that he can arrive at the scheduled location on time.If even he misses the time, the "surprise" on the note can't be received, it's no big deal, and if something that shouldn't happen happens, then he will regret it and die!
Maybe it was the uneasiness in the dark that stimulated his strength, or maybe it was the god of fate who still took care of him after all. No matter how you say it, Xu Ruilang always rushed to the predetermined place before the power in his body was exhausted, and then relying on Memory, successfully found the traces left at the beginning.
"It should be here...'the place where the power disappears', this should refer to the place where I used the summoning spell."
Spreading out the note in his hand, Xu Ruilang ran around the area around Xie's old house while comparing the points marked on it: "But where is the Xie's secret room? Why didn't I remember to ask before? Mistake...huh?"
Xu Ruilang, who had just walked around from the front hall to the backyard of Xie's old house and was having a headache finding his way, suddenly heard a small rustling sound the moment he turned the corner.Immediately dodging and hiding in the corner of the wall, he subconsciously held his breath, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible, and at the same time, he focused on distinguishing the sudden sound carefully.
"...Do you think it is possible for him to come? I haven't contacted him for so many years, and suddenly there is a specious news. Could it be true..."
"...It's enough for the older generation to believe. We... Anyway, we don't care about our business this time, we just stay honest and don't cause trouble..."
"...That's right, then let's hurry up...the backyard...twelve o'clock...it's almost time..."
"...Okay...Assemble..."
It's people talking!
——This was Xu Ruilang's first subconscious reaction.
It's late at night, there are people here?Will it make them?
——This is Xu Ruilang's second reaction that gradually came to his senses.
What does twelve o'clock mean?Is their meeting place in the backyard?What are you doing there?
——This is Xu Ruilang's third reaction after he fully realized it.
As soon as the three reactions came out, especially the question that came to mind at the end, Xu Ruilang's heart shuddered immediately, and a certain premonition grew stronger.
Perhaps, he should take a look at the past. He always feels that the ultimate purpose of this group of people is likely to be similar to what he guessed. No matter how bad it is, it is almost certain that they are related.
It happened that the direction where the other party was walking away was also the place Xu Ruilang wanted to investigate, so after hiding his figure as carefully as possible, Xu Ruilang lightened his steps and quietly followed the two of them, following them from a distance. up.
The surrounding scenery gradually became unfamiliar, and Xu Ruilang's short journey was extremely hard.
If it wasn't for the two people in front of them talking and laughing all the time, and the leisurely strolling appearance didn't seem to be pretending, or he would have suspected that someone had already discovered his existence and deliberately slipped him away to play without saying anything. By the way, he was also planning to abduct him to a remote place to kill him!
While complaining silently in his heart, Xu Ruilang also raised his vigilance.Although he felt that the two people in front did not seem to be putting on an act, but in case of emergency, it is better to be careful.
However, the facts proved that Xu Ruilang's observation ability has not deteriorated, and his luck is as good as ever.
Under the leadership of two careless "enthusiasts", Xu Ruilang smoothly found the meeting place of the other party, and at the same time, even more coincidentally, the meeting place of this group of people was actually Xie's house The location of the Chamber of Secrets!
Surprises continued one after another, and Xu Ruilang was almost dumbfounded for a moment.
But fortunately, he came back to his senses quickly. Just one minute before he was discovered, he slid into the dense bushes next to him, squatted down, and perfectly covered his figure .
"You're here at last! What are you doing? The whole group is waiting for you two. You guys are too slow."
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. I just got lost accidentally..."
"Okay, okay, come here quickly, the ceremony will begin immediately, we must have fewer people."
"Yes, right away!"
Hiding in the bushes, Xu Ruilang cautiously poked his head out until there was no more sound around him.Looking up at the sky, the young man who only knew a little bit of superficial knowledge could only tell that it was not far from twelve o'clock at midnight, but he couldn't deduce how much time was left.
Without further ado, he had to find a hidden place to hide first.Now that everything is ready, when the time comes, the so-called "surprise" should be able to show up, he will wait and see.
……
"The hour is approaching, Third Uncle, let's start."
Under the dim light, Xu Zhengchuan's usual gentle and refined face was solemn and serious, and his slightly frowned eyebrows made him look a little indifferent and unreasonable, and this was felt the most by the people standing beside him.
"Zheng Chuan, do you have something important to do?"
"How do you say that?" Xu Zhengchuan raised his eyebrows in surprise as he shifted a piece of equipment on the table, "Tonight's matter is the top priority of our Xu family, and other things can be postponed, everyone is like this, Zheng Chuan is naturally the same, why did uncle say that?"
"...Well, since that's the case, the ceremony is approaching, let's begin."
After a moment of hesitation, the third uncle avoided the conversation, and took the lead to take a step forward: "The opening of the ceremony requires a lot of energy. Uncle is getting old, so I'm afraid he won't be able to last until the end of the ceremony. We might as well put in the effort earlier to suppress the formation." The task is entrusted to you."
"Yes, I'm following your orders."
Taking a step back silently, Xu Zhengchuan responded with a slight cup of his hand.
Seeing that the tone of the man's promise and the manner in which he raised his hands were the same as usual, third uncle's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he couldn't help but began to doubt what he had just thought.
——Perhaps he really thought too much, Zheng Chuan has always been responsible and prudent, how could there be an expression similar to impatience and sarcasm, he must be dazzled.
"The hour is up, the ceremony begins!"
The majestic announcement seemed to ring in the ears of every Xu family present.
Almost subconsciously, at the moment when the voice just fell, all the Xu family disciples set up their postures, and after they shouted in unison, hazy blue lights suddenly flew out from them, circling in mid-air After a while, like a galaxy, they merged into the small three-legged tripod in front of the secret room.
As countless blue lights poured into the tripod, the small three-legged tripod, which was originally dim and dusty, seemed to have some rust, gradually became haloed.At this moment, the eyes of the third uncle who was closest to Ding suddenly froze, and his hands hanging by his sides stretched out flatly. After a low shout, a more intense and deeper green light than before suddenly radiated from the palm of his hand, without any trace. All that was reserved was poured into the small tripod, which became more and more simple.
At the same time, low-pitched chant had already resounded through the entire area at some point, and the atmosphere on the field became more and more solemn.
As time passed, gradually, the blue light surrounding the tripod became more and more intense, and the rust remaining on the tripod began to fall off gradually. As the light flowed, the three-legged and simple small tripod gradually became flawless...
However, the three-legged tripod was slowly transforming, and the third uncle, who had been continuously inputting energy into the tripod, was gradually exhausted and stretched.
Seeing the old man over half a century old with pale lips and cold sweat, even the energy injected into the cauldron began to flicker and gradually became unstable. Xu Zhengchuan, who had been closely monitoring the situation, immediately took a step forward, waved his hand and shot Simultaneously with a cyan energy beam, he used a skillful force on his hand, and quickly replaced the person.
"Hu, hu, hu-"
Panting heavily, the third uncle, who was helped to the side to rest, almost lost his strength, and fell asleep before he could say a word, so he naturally didn't see what happened next.
——If you saw it, it is estimated that things would not develop like this later.
"Help Third Uncle down to rest, and the rest of you don't have to stay. Just leave the rest to me." With his back to everyone, Xu Zhengchuan ordered lightly.
"Can……"
"Go back."
"but……"
"Get out!"
"……Yes."
Not caring about the worried people who left the ceremony place, Xu Zhengchuan stood quietly in place after sternly drinking everyone away, and the pure energy transformed by the supernatural power in his body was still pouring into the little statue in front of him. Ding, the expression on his face became more and more unpredictable.
"Come out, you've been here long ago, haven't you, let's have a good talk."
Under the misty blue light, Xu Zhengchuan's handsome face was reflected with a green face and fangs, but Xu Ruilang, who had been hiding in the bushes all the time, was trembling in his heart when he heard the words, and his whole body couldn't help being excited!
He was found?
It's over, it's over, he's going to explain why he's here, I'm afraid he won't be able to get away with it this time...
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Uh? !
Xu Ruilang, who had made the decision to break the jar, froze in place, before his brain could react, his body had already moved one step ahead.
The half-raised body subconsciously shrank back. The young man who had a premonition that was getting worse was uneasy, and the figure covered by the bushes trembled unconsciously.
If he heard it right, the owner of that voice shouldn't be here at this time, nor should he have such a familiar tone, let alone——
"Brother, long time no see, how are you doing?"
As if he had met a friend he hadn't seen for many years, Xu Zhengchuan's tone was friendly, and his expression improved a lot: "I said goodbye in a hurry, and I didn't have time to leave a few words. I have been very regretful all these years, and I regret that I didn't say it to you face to face. There will be a period later, and I will also say...sorry."
"Don't be sorry, I've had a good life these years." The voice was light, the familiar voice as clear as water was full of alienation as always, "There's no need to be sorry, you don't owe me anything."
"..."
There was a moment of silence, and when Xu Zhengchuan spoke again, the redundant emotions had been removed from his voice: "Brother Gan, it was my husband and I who failed you back then, and the Xu family couldn't help you. In terms of reason, Said, I should unconditionally agree to any request of yours, but this matter is of great importance, please forgive me for not being able to simply agree..."
Xu Ruilang could tell that his father's tone was unprecedentedly serious at the moment, as if he was talking about something important.But, in the end
