Chapter Ninety-Eight: Meeting for 5,500 Gold Diamonds!
Listening to Rujun's statement, the old cat and I were even more nervous and surprised, after all, for us, the biggest thing in our impression was the conversation between the eight masters and the four great families in the Lama Temple twenty years ago, if this time the matter was not a catastrophe. So how terrifying is this so-called catastrophe? How many people will be involved?
You must know that the Heavenly Tribulation twenty years ago almost involved the most powerful people in the Yin and Yang worlds, isn't that even that one thing a Heavenly Tribulation?
Rujun took a sip of red wine, looked at the surprised expressions of the two of us with a smile, and said, "Although the last incident in the Lama Temple involved a large number of people. But after all, there was no adverse effect of misfire, if the two sides of the yin and yang worlds did not agree last time, they fought. That might be barely a catastrophe. ”
I then understood, nodded and said, "I see." ”
Rujun smiled, with a little excitement in her expression, but also with a hint of nervousness, she said with some expectation: "But I didn't think that when I was about to retreat from the four major families, I would encounter a catastrophe ......."
Before we could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door behind us.
Tuk Tuk ......
I hurriedly got up and asked suspiciously, "At this time, who is coming to visit?" ”
The old cat smiled lightly and said, "Maybe my third uncle is here." ”
I hurriedly went to open the door, but I was a little worried about whether it would be Bai Yanshan or the powerful ghosts of the Xu family who came to make trouble. However, my judgment was obviously wrong, because as soon as the door was opened, the third grandfather stood at the door with a smile.
"Third Grandpa......" I was stunned for a moment and asked, "...... How did it come? ”
The third grandfather smiled and said, "Snow hates this child...... Wrong. The old cat has already told us about it. I've been hiding it from you for a long time these days, and I'm a little embarrassed, no. Hearing that Rujun was also coming, my old bone came over to apologize. ”
Saying that, I hurriedly welcomed the third grandfather into the house, and as soon as Rujun saw the third grandfather, he quickly got up with a smile and said, "No wonder you have always avoided me, it turns out that you are really an old man." ”
Obviously, the third grandfather was a vein of the Xu family's yang before, and Rujun still knew a lot about the old people of the Xu family's yang lineage, and Rujun had already recognized him. Come to save the farmer's shoulder.
When the third grandfather saw Rujun, he smiled shyly and said: "Rujun is really extraordinary, we have met a few times a few decades ago, I didn't expect you to remember my old bones...... The years are not forgiving, I am old now, I didn't expect you to be so young and beautiful. ”
Rujun seemed a little embarrassed by what the third grandfather said, and hurriedly poured a glass of red wine for the third grandfather, and said: "You don't have to be polite, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, I can stay old now, but sooner or later there will be a day when I will be old." Besides, you're in good spirits now, and you're not old at all. ”
After a polite discussion, the third grandfather also joined us in the discussion. Without rhubarb, the atmosphere is naturally colder. But fortunately, the third grandfather is a factor that enlivens the atmosphere, and it is said that there is an old man in the family, and this is indeed the case.
The third grandfather drank with us first, drank the red wine out of the feeling of white wine, and then wiped his mouth and said: "Rujun, old cat, Lin Yang, you must also know that the entanglement and grudge between the yin and yang worlds of our Xu family, to be honest, I am now in my early sixties, in fact, I am already dying, and the descendants of my family have also been sent abroad by me. ”
As he spoke, the third grandfather took out an obsidian accessory from his arms, played with it in his hand, and continued while playing: "Originally, Changge and I felt that with the status and connections that the two of us had mixed up in the yang world over the years, although it could not be said that the entire Xu family in the underworld had been destroyed, but they could bite them down, and if they bit well, they might be able to bring out some flesh and skin, but Changge, this kid is a talented character, He knows that we can't do anything by doing so, and that old hatreds have not been avenged, and new ones have been added. In addition, Changge's daughter has not graduated from college yet, and he doesn't want to get into trouble with the Xu family so early. ”
I nodded, what the third grandfather said is right, Xu Changge is still a young man after all, although he is nearly fifty years old this year, after all, Mengyun is still a child, he may also want to go to the underworld with the third grandfather to find the Xu family to fight to the death, but in this way, Mengyun will lose his support, and he will fall into a new hatred.
The third grandfather looked at the old cat and said, "Xue hate, in fact, I didn't want to involve you at first, after all, your mother took you all the way to Foshan, not for revenge, but to let you live again and forget those past encounters...... But when I learned that you have been practicing the ability to exorcise ghosts since you were a child, I know that you are a child with a heart, in fact, in your heart, you are also willing to avenge your father and my second brother, isn't it? ”
The old cat's eyes turned red, and he took out a cigarette, lit it slowly, and nodded at the same time.
The third grandfather said: "That's why after discussing with Changge, let him spend a lot of money to call you and Rhubarb from Foshan, because we always feel that you should have a share in this matter, after all...... After all, those old ghosts killed your father. ”
The old cat was speechless, his father, this man had only crossed paths with him in his life for two short years, and the old cat, who was still young at the time, could not even remember his father's appearance and voice, the only thing he remembered, and what his mother later told him, that his father liked to smoke Diaoyutai cigarettes.
The old cat listened to the third grandfather slowly finish talking about what happened, and couldn't help but feel depressed and lowered his hands.
The third grandfather took another sip of wine, turned to me and Rujun and said, "Since we all have the same starting point, we are all to deal with the Xu family in the underworld, why don't we start from here and form an alliance?" Anything can be considered together in the future. ”
After that, the third grandfather turned to Rujun and said: "Rujun, to be honest, we don't actually have any leadership skills, except for Changge's child, who is still eloquent, we are just some laymen. But Changge, that kid is just a fledgling little guy even if he compares to us, even if he compares to you, so I want you to be the leader of this alliance. ”
Rujun smiled when he heard this, and his smile was quite shy, I don't know why, I always felt that after Rujun experienced the rebellion of the Wang family, the whole person has become much more gentle and lovely than before, and is no longer like the kingly demeanor before, with a feeling of being above everyone.
Rujun looked at me and the old cat and said, "Third Grandpa, I naturally appreciate your kindness, but you have to know who is in our alliance." It's not impossible for me to be the leader, but I'm afraid that there will always be people who are not convinced. ”
The third grandfather asked, "Oh? Is there any other helper besides us? ”
Before Rujun could speak, I hurriedly said: "Yes, third grandfather, you, the old cat and Xu Changge, the three of you are a member of Xu Jiayang, this is one of our members; The Wang family, represented by Rujun, is of course also one of the members; In addition, there is another helper, I am afraid you will ignore it, that is Chen Jialin's Chen family, the Chen family in the underworld led by Chen Xuance, and is also our member. ”
The third grandfather suddenly realized and said, "Oh, it turns out that there are still them, but I miscalculated." In this way, the sooner this matter is done, the better, we might as well make an appointment, and then have a meeting, and after this meeting, we can also determine the leader of the entire alliance. ”
I nodded in agreement, looked at Rujun, and suddenly said: "Actually, I think it's appropriate to let Rujun lead, but don't let that old guy Chen Xuance be the leader, otherwise, I'm afraid we will all become his pawns." ”
Rujun smiled and nodded, and the third grandfather also said: "Chen Xuance is cunning and insidious, although I have been away from the Xu family for a long time, I still remember it vividly...... This time I cooperated with them, but I don't know if it is like a tiger with wings, or if I am seeking skin with a tiger. ”
When the third grandfather spoke, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes, which made me feel that the words of the third grandfather did not seem to be so simple.
