CHAPTER IX
After returning to Beijing to recuperate for nearly a month, Mu connected to a phone call from Yue Yan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Mu Lian, tomorrow we will go to your house, and there are two people you know!"
"Oh, what time is it?" Mu Lian's tone was indifferent.
"Haven't you recovered yet? Uncle Yang, he ......"
"Don't say it, I've thought a lot about it during this time, you can contact them, and I should tell them about it."
“… Good! ”
Hang up the phone and continue in a daze.
Ding dong! Ding-dong-ding-dong!
When the door was opened, Wei Wei and Luo Feng, who had met in the cemetery before, were standing at the door.
"Why, don't you invite us in and sit?" Wei Wei looked at him: "Don't be too sad, sometimes death is another kind of new life!" ”
"I feel like you know a lot," Mu Lian brought them in, "and you're also the one who guards the forces of that tomb, right?" ”
"You're very smart, we're inviting you to join now!" Wei Wei said formally: "You should come over, because there are too many people like you there!" ”
Luo Feng opened his mouth at this time: "Zhengyi Alliance is practicing the Heavenly Master Dao, now the world is not peaceful, you don't know yet, we must take back the handbook!" ”
"What are you talking about, I don't understand?"
Wei Wei said in a calm tone and explained: "The Jedi guarded by the Mu family and the Zhengyi Alliance is a place where ghosts and monsters can easily gather, and you have seen it in the periphery before!" The inner room has the previous ancient jade suppression, so the ghosts can't get close, and now it's almost dead there. ”
Luo Feng said: "In the coffin is your grandfather's stone elephant, your father looks almost exactly like him, it is your grandfather and I made this transaction!" And the deed of the transaction was taken away by the people who attacked me. ”
"Zhengyimeng participated in the testimony of Qiwen at the beginning, and it was supposed to defend the Mu family, but Luo Feng's matter made us have to watch from the sidelines." Wei Wei's eyes were complicated, and his expression was a little guilty.
"So, now that I've inherited their contract?"
"The deed indicates that the statute of limitations is 100 years! Now there are nine years left! Your grandfather performed it for almost forty years, and your father for fifty years! ”
Mu Lian was silent, he felt that something was completely beyond his imagination.
"You guys go back first, I'll give you an answer tomorrow and join the Zhengyi Alliance!"
Seeing him like this, Luo Feng was helpless, Wei Wei thought of something, and said: "After the Halloween Underworld, many of the ghosts who escaped from hell are from the fifteenth layer, you should be careful during this time!" ”
After sending them out, Mulian returned to his room and sorted out his supplies.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Yue Yan arrived, and with him came all the people involved in his plan, as well as two people he did know: "Xiao Yan'er, Xiao Xing's trust!" ”
Together, everyone noticed the change in Mu Lian.
That Tuo was the first to speak: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Cheng Jie, and I believe that you should all know about the bronze mirror." Xiao Xing has exposed me to a lot of things, and I know a lot of your plans. ”
Mu Lian: "It's useless to talk about this now, I have something to tell you here, I didn't expect Yue Yan to bring you two here!" ”
Smiling awkwardly, Yue Yan said, "Okay, now that the mystery is almost solved, I also want to help your ......"
"Enough, listen to Mu Lian first!" Gu Yan drank in a deep voice.
Mu Lian said in a storytelling tone: "Three years ago, before Yue Yan found me, I had a fight that was very similar to the tomb guarded by the Mu family. There, I knew about the existence of handwriting from the obsession of a ghost, and I also had a premonition that there was something unknowable about the fall of the Mu family. Then I vaguely guessed that the existence of handwriting was not a good thing for me. Yue Yan came to me and told me about the Ghost Gang, and worked with me to formulate these plans and hand them over to someone I trusted. ”
After a pause in his tone, paying attention to their expressions, Mu Lian continued: "But I didn't expect that the source of everything finally pointed back to the Mu family. I didn't expect that the Mu family actually had a deal with the underworld! ”
They know that some things in this world are so unbelievable, but when they hear the real words with their own ears, they have to make people wonder.
Gu Yan: "Deal? ”
"I don't know what it is, I just know that the time frame is one hundred years, and now there are nine years left! Moreover, the forces that Uncle Yang said before to protect the tomb with the Mu family also found me and asked me to join. ”
Lantian Yu: "What force?" Do you want to join? ”
"I replied before you came, join!"
Yue Yan: "I still don't understand, what do these things you are talking about now have to do with the purpose of our here!" ”
"The clues we looked for from the beginning of the plan to the end of the experience can now be put down!" Mu Lian finally said: "Although the result is not satisfactory, but now I don't want you to be involved in my fate!" ”
Su Qing looked at Mu Lian in the cold night, and the former said seriously: "I'll tell you, if you don't make it clear now, just wait to eat my fist!" ”
Leng Ye: "What we told Xiao Xing before about your plan is also unacceptable!" ”
Mu Lian sneered: "Xiao Xing, he deceived me so badly!" ”
Xiao Yan'er: "What do you mean, can you explain clearly?" ”
"Zhengyimeng! It's my new force, Xiao Xing is the rebel who was abandoned there! Mu Lian laughed at himself: "It's so deeply hidden, it doesn't make people trust, and it doesn't trust anyone, only this kind of heartless can play us around." ”
Several people were shocked, they didn't expect that Xiao Xing would be this kind of identity.
"Who the hell are you?" Xiao Yan'er asked in a deep voice.
"I want to know who I am, too!"
"You..."
"By the way, there's someone you should meet, she looks exactly like you!" Mu Lian said another word to Xiao Yan'er.
"What do you say? Exactly like me? Undisguised in shock, Xiao Yan muttered, "How is it possible? Will it be my sister? ”
Time passed slowly, and the condensed atmosphere did not ease, and it became more and more depressing.
Cheng Jie paid attention to Xiao Yan'er on the side, Leng Ye and Su Qing were uncharacteristically not verbose, and Gu Yan, Lantian Yu and Tang Sancai did not speak.
"I will end the sorrow of the Mu family alone, and then re-establish the Mu family!"
Cen Gui said: "I can't go out, your parents have already tied me to your boat!" ”
Mu Lian was silent: "... I know! ”
Gu Yan looked at Tang Sancai and Lantian Yu and said, "We are all your partners, although you don't let us continue to be in the same boat with you, we are waiting for you to come to us at any time to join!" ”
Mu Lian was a little moved: "Don't worry, I won't use you!" ”
The plan was terminated, and the lives of the people involved were back on track, and Mu Lian sold his house and began his lonely journey with his bags, and the dangers along the way made him understand more about the fate of his family, and also made him understand that in less than nine years, his path could not be turned back.
Embarking on the journey, the first stop of fateful departure, Mu Lian came to a village in Xuchang, Henan!
Luo Feng followed behind him and slowly spoke: "Your father came here at the beginning, and after you saw him for the last time, his soul returned here: Da Mu Zhuang!" ”
"You said my father had executed that deal for fifty years, but I'm only twenty-one, how do you explain that?"
"I should have told you about the Void Realm, where time passes at a different rate here, and the ghost qi of the geist can only support a ghost for a maximum of fifty years!" Luo Feng explained: "Your grandfather went there when he signed the deed with me when he was thirty years old, and so did your father!" ”
Mu Lian asked again, "What about me?" ”
"You'll know when you see the mound!"
Wei Wei saw them, beckoned, and said, "Okay, I've explained it clearly, it's time for you to return!" ”
When the three of them arrived at the village chief's house, there were about forty or fifty people gathered in the courtyard.
Watching him walk in, the noisy place instantly fell silent.
A young man who was the same as Mu Lian walked over: "You are Mu Lian?" Uncle Chen's son? ”
"Xiao Yan, come over to me!" A man of about forty drank to him, and when he approached, he said to Mu Lian, "I didn't expect you to be so old." Looks like your father! ”
His eyes were very complicated, twenty years ago, he was the only one left in the Mu family's direct line!
"Who are you?" Mu Lian asked with some hesitation.
"Hehe, in terms of seniority, you should call me uncle, I am your father's cousin!" Mu Zang explained: "Twenty years ago, our remote side line was hidden by your father, leaving some incense to pass on! ”
"Dad, they're all ominous people, they shouldn't come here!" The person called Xiao Yan couldn't help but speak.
"Shut up for me, Aya'er will take your brother back!" Mu Zang shouted again.
A girl who looked similar to the boy walked out and pulled Mu Yan away.
"Uncle, why were you placed here by my father?" Mu Lian asked.
"This is the birthplace of the Mu family, and the ancestors of the Mu family are buried in this realm!"
Mu Lian was surprised and asked: "What ......are the Mu families in Luoyang and Kaifeng?"
"It was developed during the Republic of China when tomb robbery was most rampant!"
"Then the mound should be here, right?"
Hearing his words, the people in the courtyard kept whispering: "It turns out that he is going there when he comes back!" ”
"yes, I heard that not everyone can go to that mound!"
"Their family is unknown!"
"For so long, the people who should have come have not come, but the people who shouldn't have come have come!"
“………”
"Alright, everyone be quiet!" Mu Zang shouted: "You don't know what Mu Lian's family has done, go back!" ”
Only Mu Lian, Wei Wei, Luo Feng and Mu Zang were left in the courtyard.
"You inherited his abilities? Bloodline awakened? Mu Zang looked at his eyes carefully.
"It's not quite yet, what he needs most now is to go to the spirit tomb!" Luo Feng spoke on the side.
"I see! Your destination is in the mountains behind the village, and the key to the mound is your blood! He looked at Luo Feng, his eyes showing relief.
Wei Wei silently observed the people around him and found that they all had a disgust for Mu Lian!
Mu Lian wanted to ask something, Mu Zang raised his hand and said: "Only the blood of the Mu family can enter the spirit tomb, for them, they are just ignorant and ignorant!" ”
Wei Wei did not follow them to the back mountain, but stayed in the village.
Mu Zang asked as he walked: "We have no contact with the previous industry of the Mu family here, just an ordinary life, I didn't expect you to take on that responsibility." ”
Mu Lian: "Do you know what happened in the past 20 years? ”
Glancing at him, Mu Zang: "I don't know, I just listened to the gossip from the outside world and knew that I had provoked a big force!" ”
Mu Lian continued to ask, "Do you know this bloodline ability of the Mu family? ”
He thought for a moment and replied, "I know something, I heard it from my stepfather, your grandfather." This ability is passed down through the bloodline, and if you want to awaken, the conditions required are very harsh! ”
Mu Lian was puzzled: "Oh? What conditions? ”
"The conditions for everyone's awakening are different, and this is a measure to prevent people with bad intentions!" Luo Feng continued.
"That's right, I heard that your grandfather's ability awakening is heart-eating! And it's the human heart! Mu Zang's tone revealed fear: "The era was very chaotic at that time, and he was trapped in the bucket before he could ...... a drop of water."
"Eat human flesh, human hearts!" Luo Feng interjected.
A chill also rose under Mu Lian's feet, he didn't expect such a thing to happen!
"And your father, he's lucky enough to just drink the blood of the people he killed!" Luo Feng said again, and his tone was a little calm: "Of course, you are more lucky, since you said that the first time you saw a ghost three years ago is the cutting point, and the eyes that are not good have not been fully developed, so you need to go to the spirit mound!" ”
Looking at the stone mounds that gradually came into view, and the red stone slabs on the ground, Mu Lian asked, "What am I going to do there?" ”
Luo Feng said to Mu Zang: "You go back first, relax, we won't destroy here!" ”
Nodding, he turned and walked back the way he came.
"Uh, Luo Feng, what are you asking me to do here?"
Luo Feng didn't say a word, just pointed to the bloodstone.
Mulian bit his finger and dripped blood on it.
As if breaking some taboo, the stone door slowly sank, revealing a staircase leading to the mound.
"Let's go!"
When we reached the bottom floor, the flames gradually lit up!
"It's you, why don't you stay in hell and come here?" A voice echoed in the empty space.
Luo Feng was expressionless: "I just brought him here!" ”
Mu Lian saw the surroundings clearly, rows of jars embedded in holes in the walls, full of cobwebs!
Slowly floated to Mu Lian's eyes: "Descendants of the Mu family? ”
Another spirit floated over: "Is it Mu Lian?" ”
Luo Feng spoke: "Mu Chen, it's been a long time!" ”
"Yes, I didn't need Mu Lian for the deal with you!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen, interrupting the process!"
Mu Lian has been silent, analyzing their conversation.
"Mu Lian, do you want to know what happened?" Mu Chen looked at him, looked guilty and hesitated: "Over the years, you... Are you okay? ”
Mu Lian didn't say anything, just looked at him in a daze.
Luo Feng stepped aside and explained: "Since I have been in contact with him for the past few days, I have done my best in everything. I don't know what he has endured in the past few years, but Yang Sheng's death not long ago hit him hard! ”
"What? You say, Yang Sheng, he..."
"Well, I have been to the tomb that you and Zhengyi are guarding with them."
Mu Chen didn't expect them to go: "So, hell is really in chaos?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Mu Lian spoke: "Luo Feng, this time you can tell me, who are you?" You're not just a sheriff, are you? ”
"Well, I'm in hell, called Beiyin! It is the Emperor of Xudu, who rules all the ghosts. ”
"What the hell is your deal?"
"Find the spirit yin in the void to protect him!"
"Lingyin?"
"Well, that's... Why did the Mu family ......"
Mu Chen: "After such a long time, Lingyin escaped, and it has something to do with the ghost gang!" ”
There are only nine years left, because of his disappearance, the Void is chaotic.
The ghosts gradually gathered around, and an old man-like ghost said, "We will fulfill the agreement and help him awaken!" ”
Mu Lian was surprised: "What? It was dark in front of him, and he vaguely heard before being knocked out by Luo Feng: "Let's start!" ”
