Chapter 8: The Mystery of Life

As soon as Zhong Xu ran out, Zhang Liang on the sofa opened one eye, looked at Zhong Xu's back as he gradually ran away, shrugged helplessly and said secretly, "I knew that this was the result." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" sighed and turned over, and fell asleep again.

On Zhongjiacun Avenue, the old ghost walked in front unhurriedly. And Zhong Xu followed behind in fear. The entire Zhongjia Village was pitch black, just like the surroundings of the path he walked on when he came, and he couldn't see what it looked like ten meters away. The whole village was a little too quiet, and Zhong Xu felt as if he had suddenly broken into an underground site that had been buried for decades or even a hundred years, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of life around him.

Five minutes later, the old ghost finally stopped in front of a room with a large plaque with the word bell written on it, turned his head slightly to Zhong Xu behind him and said, "This is the house where your grandfather lived before, and your father's body and some things you want to know are inside." Whether you can get in or not, it's up to you......" After speaking, the old ghost took out a cigarette pouch from his arms, knocked on the stone beside him, took out a box of matches, drew a blue flame, lit the cigarette stick, leaned against the stone and sucked it.

Zhong Xu turned his head to look at the huge plaque above his head, took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand to push open the heavy wooden door in front of him. The wooden door opened quietly, Zhong Xu looked up, and in the blurred darkness in front of him, all that could be vaguely discerned were the candlesticks in the courtyard that danced with strange blue flames and the coffin in the middle of the candle flames.

Turning his head again to look at the old ghost leaning outside the door and smoking a cigarette pouch, Zhong Xu turned his head and took a deep breath and lifted his feet and walked into the compound.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhong Xu actually felt a faint warmth, which felt like he had suddenly walked into an air-conditioned room on the side of the street in winter. Zhong Xu was a little relieved, and plucked up the courage to walk towards the coffin in the middle of the courtyard.

Eight candlesticks are placed around the coffin, arranged in a single line from top to bottom, enclosing the coffin. Next to each candlestick is a black charm, and on the top of the charm, a large "seal" is written in black lettering.

Standing outside the candlestick, Zhong Xu squinted his eyes and read a few lines of small characters engraved on the stone tablet on the top of the coffin, offering tribute to his beloved son and hoping that the dead would rest in peace.

Zhong Xu has seen his grandfather's handwriting, the font is very strange, he has also consulted the font written by his grandfather at school, but he can't find any records or similar information, it seems that this font is like his grandfather's own creation. Although the words on this tombstone are written with a brush, Zhong Xu can also see at a glance that this is his grandfather's words.

No one would make such a joke about their son, not even grandpa. Standing in front of the tombstone, Zhong Xu bit his lip, raised his head to look at the huge coffin in front of him, closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

Taking a deep breath and opening his eyes, Zhong Xu took out the photo that the old ghost had just thrown to him from his pocket, and looked down at the man and woman sitting next to his grandfather in the photo. The eyes finally stopped on the black mole on the chin of the middle-aged man sitting next to his grandfather. Zhong Xu trembled and reached out to touch his chin, tears flowed involuntarily.

It turned out that he had no father since he was a child, although his adoptive parents had been close to him since he was a child, but standing in front of his biological father's coffin at this moment, Zhong Xu still felt a heart-rending sadness.

"You're Xu'er!?" In the courtyard, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded not far from Zhong Xu, Zhong Xu followed the prestige, a plump, tall and beautiful woman stood at the gate and looked at Zhong Xu excitedly, her eyes were full of tears.

"Mom?" Zhong Xu's voice was completely subconsciously shouted, and as soon as he shouted, Zhong Xu hurriedly closed his mouth and lowered his head to look at the photo in his hand.

Although there are several years apart, the woman in the photo is indeed the woman standing in front of Zhong Xu at this moment. She held her father's arm in the photo and smiled happily at the camera.

"You abandoned me?" Zhong Xu stood in place, not knowing why, and said this.

Zhou Yuehong was a little nervous and embarrassed. I don't know how many times I thought about this scene in my mind, but when I really saw my son who I hadn't seen for decades standing in front of me, Zhou Yuehong, who was the head of the Ghost Sect and dominated the yin and yang worlds, didn't know how to explain to Zhong Xu what happened twenty-four years ago.

"Xu'er, we didn't abandon you!" Zhou Yuehong held back for a long time, blushing and only saying such a sentence. After finishing speaking, Zhou Yuehong looked at Zhong Xu, who was standing on the ground expressionlessly, and wanted to say something to make up for it, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she had nothing to say at all.

No matter what happened, in the past twenty-four years, his son was raised by others. It's not abandonment, and what!

The old ghost at the door sighed softly, shook his head and said secretly, "Evil, evil!" ”

"Give me a chance, Xu'er!"

Zhong Xu waved his hand violently and shouted hysterically, "I'll give you a chance, then who gives me a chance, why did you let this group of people bring me, is it because I'm going to die in one year!" Grandpa is gone, and there is no one to send me the shards of the pubic jar. Do you think of me at this time? ”

"Xu'er, I'm really sorry!" Zhou Yuehong bit her lip and tears rained down, wanting to stop Zhong Xu who ran out of the yard, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was opened by Zhou Xu.

"Young Master!" The old ghost hurriedly stood up and wanted to chase Zhong Xu, who ran out, but was grabbed by Zhou Yuehong and shook his head gently. The old ghost looked at Zhou Yuehong suspiciously, and said in a low voice, "The head of the Zhong family, this ......"

Zhou Yuehong wiped her tears, cleared her throat and said with a wry smile, "He must be difficult to accept for a while, I am already very satisfied to see him, now it is important to help Xu'er continue his life first, you tell Xiaoliang, I will leave Xu'er's affairs to him!" ”

The old ghost respectfully raised his hand and put it on his chest, bowed to Zhou Yuehong, and said in a low voice, "Disciple knows!" ”

"Also, the Netherworld side has almost prepared, and when the thousand girls have determined the last coordinates, they can do it. It will take about a month. Until then, I will trouble you to cooperate with Xiao Liang and take Zhong Xu to do your best to find the Yin Zhan fragment within a year! ”

"Disciple knows!" The old ghost nodded and watched Zhou Yuehong leave. Turning around and whispering to the coffin in the compound, he gently closed the door and turned to leave.

……

Zhong Xu, who ran out of the courtyard, returned to the private house and woke up Zhang Liang, who was dripping on the sofa, and roared angrily, "Take me out and leave this ghost place!" ”

Seeing Zhong Xu's appearance, Zhang Liang naturally knew what was going on. However, Zhongjia Village did not have the personal approval of the head of the family, and all the disciples were not allowed to go out at will. Looking at Zhong Xu with an angry face, Zhang Liang looked out of the door a little overwhelmed, until the old ghost came in slowly and nodded slightly to Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang nodded with relief, got up and stretched his waist and said, "Come on, let's go!" ”
