Chapter Eighty-Eight: Father's Relic
The following is the text of the novel (Author: Vita Lemon Tea Chapter 88: Father's Relic) provided for you, please enjoy!
At this time, in the study room of the You family's mansion, Long Daoling was talking to You Xiong about You Rou, and You Xiong could also see that Long Daoling seemed to know something, and listened to him carefully while smoking a cigarette.
Long Daoling asked tentatively, "Uncle You, I don't know if you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" Because that's what I'm going to say about these things? When You Xiong heard this, he suddenly had some thoughts in his heart, but he still suppressed it.
You Xiong looked at Long Dao Ling again, and then said: "I am a businessman, and I often come into contact with many people outside, whether you can believe these things or not, I also have reservations about this, but I believe that there is a cause and there must be an effect, and it must have his reasons for being passed down for so long, I don't know what you said has to do with Xiaorou?" β
As soon as Long Daoling heard You Xiong's tone, he knew that he was also making a tentative answer to himself, sure enough, these people were not simple, Long Daoling also felt that he didn't need to go around in circles with him, so he simply said directly: "Uncle You, I won't hide it from you, in fact, the business I do is related to these aspects, this is my business card!" After saying that, he took out a business card from the Hyakki Office from his pocket and handed it to You Xiong.
You Xiong took the business card and looked at the "Hundred Ghost Office" for a moment, and Long Daoling explained on the side: "This matter is located in the capital, and it also has its own related website, and its main job is to help people solve supernatural events related to this aspect, generally speaking, my profession is a ghost exorcist!" β
Long Daoling introduced his profession and place of work to You Xiong very clearly, and You Xiong looked at the business card and listened to him, and began to guess what Long Daoling said about You Rou.
He raised his head and looked at Long Dao Ling, and said slowly: "Xiao Ling, you are young, you can't see that you are doing this profession, I also know a lot of people in this area, but most of them are some guys who sell their reputations, and they can only pretend to be ghosts!" Saying this, he paused and looked at Long Daoling's eyes.
Long Daoling knew that You Xiong had doubts about his ability, but Zhenjin was not afraid of fire refining, he also stared at You Xiong seriously, You Xiong took a puff of cigarette, and said again: "Of course, this does not mean that all people are like this, I also know a person who is very capable in this regard, he has shown inhuman abilities in front of me, and he is also my benefactor, but these are things in the past!" β
When You Xiong said this, his expression was slightly depressed, and he took a deep puff of cigarette, Long Daoling didn't know why he was like this, but in order to show that he was real, he also said directly: "Uncle You, I know you are suspicious of me, but I don't have any intentions, because Xiaorou is my good friend, she has a problem now, I think I have to help her, so I don't have to lie to you!" β
Seeing that he was so determined, You Xiong asked, "Okay, Xiaoling, I believe you, tell me what happened to You Rou?" Seeing him ask, Long Daoling told You Xiong everything he had heard from Zhong Kui.
As soon as You Xiong heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, because every detail that Long Daoling said was almost exactly the same as what he knew, and the most important thing was that Long Daoling could still say that there must have been experts in this area who helped You Rou, and even these could be said, You Xiong was convinced for a moment.
You Xiong was stunned there, at this time, the cigarette in his hand had burned to the bottom, burning his hand, he also woke up from his contemplation, and hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt, looking a little panicked.
Long Daoling hurriedly asked, "Uncle You, are you okay, is it hot?" You Xiong came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I was too careless just now!" Then, You Xiong recovered, looked at Long Daoling again, and asked: "Xiao Ling, what you said is not wrong at all, Xiao Rou's body has happened to such a thing, and my lover and I were troubled at that time, but fortunately, a master appeared and solved this problem for us;
At that time, he could be said to be the benefactor of our You family, and he had been living in our You family to help the young Xiao Rou, and he had been safe until that night, Xiao Rou became extremely terrible after being possessed by an unknown ghost, and we were both present at that time, and then, Xiao Rou disappeared some rìzi, and at that time there were very terrible things, and then only this master's stomach went to solve it;
After so many years, I thought it was over, but a few years ago, I also began to find that Xiaorou had some abnormal behavior, and some accidents occurred, but I never met a capable person to help me again, and in the end I could only use my ability (financial resources) to solve it, so as to maintain the current situation. β
After hearing this, Long Daoling also knew that You Xiong was not easy, if he didn't have money, I am afraid that You Rou would not be able to stay here intact now, Long Daoling no longer thought about this, and then asked: "Uncle You, since that master helped a lot at that time, where did he go?" Why didn't you ask him for help? β
This sentence reached You Xiong's heart, he sighed, lit a cigarette again, and said slowly: "This matter has always been something I feel very guilty about, he is my benefactor, it's not that I didn't ask him for help, because he is no longer there!" Speaking of this, You Xiong felt a little sad.
"Gone? Could it be... He's dead? Long Daoling also probably guessed the meaning of this sentence, You Xiong said: "I hurt him, but I'm not sure whether he is alive or dead, because it was that time that he went alone to solve Xiao Rou's matter, and later when we went to look for it, we saw blood stains at the scene, only found Xiao Rou, he was missing, I thought he was just leaving, but I found that the valuables he usually brought with him were left at the scene, so I had a bad thought in my heart;
Then, I used my ability to send all the personnel around to search, and I also posted a missing person notice. But to no avail, he disappeared out of thin air like evaporation from the world, and for so many years, I also gave up the idea of his survival, so in order to commemorate him, I erected a tombstone for him! β
When Long Daoling heard this, he was also a little moved, since this person who had never met him could do so much for Xiao Rou, this spirit was very worthy of his respect, and he also said: "Uncle You, this is your nobleman, Xiao Rou has the help of you and this man to get to where she is today, so please be sure to tell me a little more details, I also want to help You Rou!" β
You Xiong nodded and continued: "Actually, the ghost you mentioned, I have the impression that she is a female ghost, and she also disappeared immediately after my benefactor disappeared, and I don't know where to find her, but my benefactor left some relics, I don't know if it's useful!" β
As soon as Long Daoling heard that the master had relics left, he had a clue, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it now, can you show me!" You Xiong nodded and said, "I asked my subordinates to bury it next to the tomb I made for him, I wanted to keep it as a memorial and no longer let people touch it, but if I can help Xiaorou, I will take you there now and let someone find it for you!" β
"Great!" Long Daoling said excitedly, he didn't expect that it was originally a matter of looking for a needle in a haystack, but now he has a clue so quickly, and then, You Xiong ordered a few bodyguards to bring tools and accompany Long Daoling to the tombstone location.
Not far from the tombstone, on a specially tended back hill behind the house, You Xiong enjoys the ownership of this land, which is not only planted with flowers and trees, but also has an artificial lake and a large lawn, which is very beautiful.
After a while, they came to the tombstone, and it could be seen that this person had a very high status in You Xiong's heart, and a luxurious tombstone in Dúlì appeared very conspicuously in front of them, and they didn't feel a sense of horror at all, and then, a few of them came to the tomb, although there was no benefactor's body inside, but You Xiong also routinely worshiped it, and then, the bodyguards began to dig up next to the tomb.
Long Daoling also bowed together, and with the help of the light, Long Daoling saw several conspicuous words on the tombstone, "Engong Longhui's Tomb!" Long Daoling suddenly had a familiar feeling after seeing these two words, his benefactor also had the same surname as himself, which was nothing, and the most important thing was that he was still called Long Hui, because he remembered that his aunt told him that his father's name was called Long Hui, it was really a coincidence.
However, there are countless people with the same name and surname in the world, and his aunt also told him that his father had died in an accident when he was a child, and he also said: "Uncle You, what a coincidence, your benefactor is actually surnamed Long like me!" β
This unintentional sentence seemed to wake You Xiong, and he also said differently: "Yes, Xiaoling, don't you say that I haven't paid attention, you are also surnamed Long, it seems that your surname Long and I have a lot of fate, hehe!" β
As soon as he finished saying this, a trace of doubt appeared in You Xiong's heart, and he asked, "Xiao Ling, take the liberty of asking, is your father okay!" Long Daoling also heard a hint and said: "Uncle You, my parents have passed away when I was a child, I have been living with my aunt, I know what you want to ask, coincidentally my father is really called Long Hui, but it should not be your master!" β
The more You Xiong listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, how could things be so coincidental in the world, his father was also called Long Hui, and he also died when he was a child, he slowly remembered some of the words that Long Hui had said to him before, he left home to find the murderer of his wife, and he had a son who was placed at his sister's house to take care of, the more he thought about it, the more coincidental it became.
You Xiong said: "Xiao Ling, don't say it, some things seem to have been arranged in the dark, and I am now somewhat sure that someone for you is the son of my benefactor!" After hearing this, Long Daoling replied solemnly: "Uncle You, I know your feelings, but please don't make fun of my father, he died when I was young, my aunt won't lie to me!" β
You Xiong also knew that he had said it now, and said: "Xiaoling, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that, because my benefactor told me something about his family before, which is very close to what you said, I am a little suspicious, ah, by the way, the most precious thing left in his relics is a family photo, you can be sure when you take a look at it!" β
"Photos!" Although Long Daoling had doubts, but seeing You Xiong say this, it was not easy to refuse, anyway, he had to check those relics, You Xiong said to the bodyguards: "You guys move quickly!" β
When the bodyguards heard the order, their hands and feet became more nimble, and after a while, the ground was dug up, and a large box was presented, and then, several bodyguards carried it out from inside, and You Xiong said: "This is the relic left by my benefactor Long Hui, there is not enough light here, let's go back and see again!" β
Long Daoling also nodded, and returned to the You family's mansion with them, in order not to attract the attention of others, You Xiong asked them to carry the box into the living room and close the door by the way.
The rest of the work was to open the box, You Xiong was very nervous, not because he saw the relics of his benefactor, but whether the things left inside could prove the relationship between Long Hui and Long Dao Ling, as he guessed.
The lock of the box has rusted, the box has been buried in the ground for a long time, and there is a musty smell at this time, and after a while, the bodyguards successfully opened the box, which was covered with a black cloth, and You Xiong took him away with one hand.
At this time, Long Dao Ling looked at the box, there were a bunch of items inside, the most conspicuous thing was that there was a rifle, which looked very old in appearance, and there were rust marks, there were some scattered bullets around, and a few bottles, and there was a net next door with small stones tied to it that looked like it was specifically catching something.
Long Daoling squatted down and searched with You Xiong, at this time, he found a military dagger, or a bayonet is more suitable, because this knife is slightly longer than the ordinary dagger, and it is wrapped in a layer of knife sleeve, Long Daoling gently dismantled it, and the cold light appeared, this knife actually maintained a sharp touch, and there were some strange lines engraved on it, and there was no rust after such a long time.
"These are the props of that Long Hui?" Long Daoling said suspiciously. Thinking to himself, although these things were primitive, they were relatively advanced weapons in the era at that time, and You Xiong on the other side suddenly said: "Xiao Ling, I found it, you can take a look!" β
At this time, You Xiong was holding a yellowed photo in his hand, Long Daoling also walked over curiously, and looked at the photo, the photo had tried its best to temper the years, and it had been buried in the ground for a long time, slightly blurry, and could only see three people on it, a man and a woman, and the woman was still holding a child, but the appearance was no longer clear.
You Xiong asked, "Xiaoling, look at this photo, do you have any impression?" Is he your father? Long Daoling frowned, because the photo was really indistinguishable, shook his head, and said, "Uncle You, this photo is too old, I can't see it clearly!" β
You Xiong said remorsefully: "Alas, it's all my bad work, if I hadn't buried him in the ground, it wouldn't have been like this!" Long Daoling said comfortingly: "Uncle You, I actually don't believe in this matter, because it's impossible, don't blame yourself too much!" β
After hearing this, You Xiong also said: "Then forget it, let's see if you find any clues!" After saying that, he also put the photo back in the box, and Long Dao Ling saw that You Xiong no longer insisted, and also squatted down again to look for clues, at this time, he saw a strange box.
Long Daoling immediately took him in his hand and studied it carefully, there was a dull jade on top of this box, and he didn't know how to use it, it seemed that he couldn't open it, he asked suspiciously: "Uncle You, do you know what this is?" β
You Xiong looked at it and said: "I don't know, I haven't seen a benefactor use it before, but this thing was left at the scene of the benefactor's disappearance, and I guess it's also a benefactor's magic weapon or something, so I brought it back!" β
Long Dao Ling didn't have a clue after hearing this, and continued to study this strange box, he touched the jade with his hand, suddenly, he felt a faint ghost aura coming from inside, the jade stinged his fingers like thorns, he was also frightened by this sudden situation, and immediately threw the box out.
You Xiong was also shocked by Long Dao Ling's abnormal behavior, and asked, "Xiao Ling, what's wrong with you?" Long Daoling's eyes were staring at the box, at this time it was lying quietly on the box, Long Daoling already had a bottom in his heart at this time, knowing that there must be something wrong with this box.
He picked up the box again, thinking, there is actually a ghost in it, let me see what you are, Long Dao Ling also used his ghost power to invade this box, and when his ghost power entered, there was a situation, and the box seemed to feel something, like a life, it vibrated on its own, and instantly broke away from his hand and fell to the ground.
At this time, the box was shaking strongly, and some invisible air currents emanated from it, blowing at them, You Xiong was also horrified when he saw this scene, but Long Dao Ling watched quietly, but after a while, the box was quiet again.
Long Dao Ling now knows completely that this box must be related to that spirit ghost, it seems that the ghost power just injected is not enough, he already has an idea in his heart, but he is not going to do it here.
He walked over, grabbed the box, and was about to take it back to the ghost building, but at this moment, he saw that the photo fell on the side, because of the air flow just now, it was blown over, and Long Daoling saw that there were some words written on the back of the photo.
He also curiously walked over and picked up the photo and looked up, suddenly, Long Daoling's face became very abnormal, he was stunned there for a long time, as if he was in deep thought, You Xiong saw that he was a little weird, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Xiao Ling, what happened?" β
He saw Long Daoling looking at this photo blankly, and looked up curiously, this is, You Xiong's face has also changed, different from Long Daoling, he has a trace of surprise on his face, because this photo clearly writes a few lines of words: husband - Long Hui, wife - Ling Xiaolu, love son - Long Daoling, this photo was taken in x year x month xrì, commemorating our family!
You Xiong said excitedly: "Xiao Ling, I know that I am right, the benefactor is really your father, you see that there is also your name on it, this can't be a coincidence!" At this time, Long Daoling was struggling in his heart, because he also knew his mother's name, and he asked how there would be a family with the same name and surname.
Long Daoling's eyes were blurred at this time, and there were already a little tears, he suddenly understood a lot of things, this Long Hui is his own father, these are his father's relics, You Xiong saw this scene on the side, and also patted him on the shoulder, and didn't say anything, and the entire living room fell into silence.
No pop-ups
