Chapter 43: The Confession of the Poisonous Peony

The length of the reflex arc of this guy Rhubarb has been shocked by us, so much so that we and the third grandfather have basically finished chatting about everything, and Rhubarb slowly woke up, and he was still in a state of emptiness, looking at his expression. It seems that the whole person has not completely woken up from his slumber.

We didn't bother to explain what happened to Rhubarb again, anyway, we just told him to let him take care of the home at home, and I was going to go out with the old cat and the third grandfather.

Rhubarb still didn't understand too quickly, but fortunately this guy didn't say much, waved at us, and let us leave.

It seems that the third grandfather has been hiding in the Xu family's stronghold since he died violently and turned into a ghost, and it can also be said that after experiencing these things, the third grandfather has completely become a member of the Xu family's underworld, and the grievances and entanglements between the yang and the underworld have basically been let go.

In fact, this is the case for the little people. There is no major event other than life and death, and sometimes after seeing life and death, then any other grievances don't seem to be grievances.

We went all the way to the West Gate, the night was like water, and it was very comfortable to walk, and the old cat suddenly whispered: "Third uncle, I'...... When I was in the Xu family's stronghold, I saw my father. ”

The third grandfather smiled, then sighed softly and said, "Actually, the poisonous peony told me about this, and she said that next time if she has the opportunity, she can take me to visit the second brother." ”

The old cat nodded.

The third grandfather asked, "He...... Are you doing well in Hades? ”

The old cat listened. took out a cigarette, lit it slowly, and said as he smoked: "It's not bad, but I can't let go of my mother and me." ”

The third grandfather nodded and said, "Your mother is indeed very hard, and the old Xu family can't stand her." ”

The old cat waved his hand: "Forget it, it's all over, anyway, the culprit Xu Longxiang has been shot by me." ”

The third grandfather smiled bitterly and said: "Xue hate, you have to be careful, now the Xu family's underworld ghosts are because of the mysterious monks, so they don't bother with you about this matter, but when those people who go to the yin are disposed of." You may be the next one to suffer! ”

The old cat sneered and said, "Don't worry, third uncle, I understand this problem." But what about you? Are you ready to rejoin that big family in the underworld? ”

The third grandfather smiled and said, "Yes, I have no other destination, the poisonous peony is quite tolerant, at least it leaves me a way back." ”

The old cat didn't say much, just nodded.

We got on the bus at the West Gate and headed all the way to the Xu family's stronghold, and by about twelve o'clock in the evening, we had arrived at our destination.

After getting out of the car, I found that Poison Peony was standing not far away alone, and it seemed that she and the third grandfather had talked about it after some lobbying by the third grandfather. I'll come in person.

When Poison Peony saw me this time, he was surprisingly with a humble expression on his face, nodded and said, "Welcome." My old friends. ”

The old cat has a good impression of the poisonous peony, so much so that Rhubarb is afraid that he will do something unethical, but it can be seen that the poisonous peony really has two brushes, otherwise she will not be able to conquer the cold old cat.

The third grandfather took us forward, and I smiled and nodded to the poisonous peony, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The identity of the poisonous peony is the right protector of the Xu family, but this time it may be to win us over, so the attitude is quite good. She led us all the way to a small reception room and sat us down.

The parlor is about the size of a security room, and because it's underground, there are no windows at all.

There was a coffee table in the reception room, and then a large sofa, the sofa looked very quaint, with a little old, and there was an old knitted cloth embroidered with the pattern of the tiger descending the mountain.

After we sat down, the third grandfather couldn't wait to tell the poisonous peony: "Lin Yang, they have agreed to help us." ”

The third grandfather's words undoubtedly put us in a passive position immediately, but I also understand that this is because the third grandfather is eager to protect the Xu family.

Before the poisonous peony could speak, I hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we haven't made a decision yet, I still want to ask a few questions before I promise to help the Xu family." ”

Poison Peony was surprisingly good-tempered, nodded, and said, "You ask." ”

I stopped being polite to her, and said directly: "Monk Xuanji, the reason why they want to do something to the eldest family under our Sijiu City is because they heard a news, that is, among the four major families, there is a family that colludes with the powerful ghosts in the dungeon and wants to release them from the dungeon, I don't know if you have heard of this matter?" "Low sub-sequence.

After saying this, I carefully observed the reaction of the poisonous peony.

However, Poison Peony didn't have any surprised expression, and shook his head very calmly and said, "I haven't heard of it, but Lin Yang, I can feel that you are suspicious of our Xu family." ”

I smiled and said, "Of course, first of all, these three special routes to the dungeon are all arranged by your Xu family, and you are the most inseparable from the characters in the dungeon; Second, you have entered the dungeon a lot these days, which makes people have to doubt your purpose of entering the dungeon, so now among the four major families, the one I suspect the most is your Xu family. ”

Poison Peony shook his head and said, "You have a point, but let me argue a word." ”

I nodded, listening.

Poison Peony said: "Xuanji monk and their words, I don't know why you didn't hesitate to believe it, how much water is in this sentence, I'll tell you." First of all, the situation in the dungeon is not as you think, only a group of lawless ghosts who are ready to drill out all day long, in fact, the order in the dungeon is even more complicated than the underworld outside, and those ghosts trapped in the dungeon are only part of the dungeon. ”

Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of Little Bunny, Wu Min's messenger, and Mr. Niu, they are obviously not those crazy ghosts, so what are their identities?

Poison Peony continued: "In the dungeon, there are not only those powerful ghosts who have been trapped for thousands of years, but also the top management of the entire Sijiu City Hades, this management can restrain the powerful ghosts, so whether the dungeon will be in danger or not, it is not our turn to worry, as for saying that a family outside alone can make the powerful ghosts inside defect, it is even more ridiculous." ”

Speaking of which, the poisonous peony threw me a meaningful wink, as if laughing at my gullibility.

I didn't pay attention to her, but listened to her continue: "Second, our Xu family used to go in and out of the underground palace a lot, and that was because the patriarch of our Xu family is now in the underground palace for some reason, and there is no problem with the powerful ghosts inside, and I don't have any evidence for this matter, so it's okay if you want to believe it, or if you don't want to believe it." ”

I nodded, and the tone of Poison Peony's voice naturally carried a sense of belief, so I didn't want to doubt it.

Immediately afterwards, Poison Peony continued: "The third point is that our Xu family has no motive to release those powerful ghosts at all...... You must know that our Xu family is now the largest family in the underworld of Sijiu City, except for the management in the underground palace, we can be said to cover the sky with one hand in this underworld, and we can support whoever we want, but if those thousand-year-old ghosts come out, the supremacy of our Xu family will be shaken, so ...... How can you say we could be a conspiracy to unleash their moles? ”

I thought about it and looked back at the old cat.

The old cat should be more objective, although he has a good impression of the poisonous peony, but he will not affect his judgment because of this.

The old cat nodded at me, as if to tell me that what Poison Peony said made sense.

In fact, before the old cat made a judgment, I could already basically believe that the poisonous peony did not lie to us, and the Xu family, as the lips and teeth of the underworld of the entire Sijiu City, could definitely not be destroyed, so I was also happy to sell the poisonous peony a favor, when he nodded and said: "Okay, I am willing to believe you and deal with the Xuanji monks with you." ”

However, the poisonous peony suddenly shook his head and said: "Don't worry, just rely on you and us, I'm afraid that we don't have the certainty of victory...... The reason why I asked you to come here is actually to hope that you can invite the Chen family and the Wang family to come forward together. ”

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you want the four major families to fight against them together?" ”
