I hurriedly recounted to Rujun what happened that day, and then asked her if she knew the identity of this man.

Rujun didn't nod or shake her head, but her expression told me she knew.

That man must have a close connection with Rujun, with the four major families, with the messenger, and the person in the white sedan chair in the Lama Palace, otherwise. Rujun will not have such an expression.

"Now that he's here, you can wait for him to tell you everything." Rujun said: "Because the rules are there, there are many things that I can't say directly." ”

Her words make me think I guessed well, the strange man surnamed Niu is obviously some kind of more advanced existence than the "messenger", it is very likely that it is the "messenger above the messenger" that Chen Xuance said, and their origin is obviously what Chen Xuance and Xu Ruihu have said, that is, the so-called "inside".

Come to think of it. I can't help but wonder if the sedan chair in the Lama Temple came out of the "inside", and the Lama Temple does not only communicate the two worlds of yin and yang, in addition to the two worlds of yin and yang, he can also communicate "inside" and outside.

Of course, there is one more big doubt now, which is the lantern.

The lantern that was snatched from the female ghost of the Xu family was lit with a cyan flame and emitted a dim yellow light.

Because according to Chen Xuance, Xu Ruihu was caught "inside" by the messenger and the characters above the envoy because he often ate live people, and Xu Ruihu himself said that this lantern was taken out by him from "inside". So this lantern must have some kind of mysterious purpose.

I hurriedly took out this lantern from my arms, handed it to Rujun, and asked, "Rujun, have you ever seen this kind of lantern?" ”

Rujun looked at this lantern, the expression on his face changed and changed, and said, "I...... I've seen it, but I can't remember where I've seen it, it seems like I saw it a long time ago, Lin Yang, where did you find this lantern? ”

I hurriedly told Rujun the origin of the lantern and where I guessed that this lantern came from, and after listening to it, Rujun nodded frequently and said, "You should be right, this lantern almost really came from inside, but I never entered it." I don't know anything about that. ”

"Inside...... What's inside, exactly? I couldn't help but ask.

Rujun smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Lin Yang, do you know that in fact, the most powerful of the powerful ghosts is not the thousand-year-old ghost, except for the thousand-year-old ghost. Some powerful ghosts can be as old as 2,000 years, 3,000 years, or even 5,000 years......"

"So...... So long? "I obviously didn't think about it, and I've seen quite a few of them for thousands of years. I haven't seen a ghost for thousands of years. Bean big sarcastic brother.

Rujun said: "Have you ever thought about another question, that is, thousand-year-old ghosts are not particularly rare, you see, in your generation, Chen Xiaoqing, Bai Yanshan, and Liang Xiaofeng were born, three thousand-year-old ghosts, but why in the underworld, except for those old ghosts of the Xu family, you can no longer see other thousand-year-old ghosts?" Where have they gone? Have you noticed that among our four major families, the oldest ghost only started in the Ming Dynasty...... And what about those powerful ghosts before the Ming Dynasty? The city of Beijing is so old, is it only after the Ming Dynasty that there are ghosts? ”

The more I listened, the more strange I felt, Rujun's words were indeed worthy of my consideration.

"What do you mean...... Did something happen in the Ming Dynasty? I hurriedly asked.

Rujun smiled mysteriously and said: "You guessed it, our current Beijing Imperial City, mainly built in the Ming Dynasty, there was a rather terrible character back then, called Yao Guangxiao, nicknamed the black-clothed prime minister, I can't tell you more things, but you must know that the current order of the Yin and Yang worlds in Sijiu City, to a certain extent, was actually formulated by him alone." ”

In addition to shock, I was curious, I had heard of Yao Guangxiao'......s name more or less, but I had never heard that he had any significant impact on the construction of Beijing.

At this time, Ruoshui suddenly came over and said: "Rujun, Lin Yang, go and take a look, it seems that Zhao Lihao has woken up!" ”

I hurriedly walked over with Rujun, and when I passed, I saw the old cat and Xu Changge surrounding a hospital bed, and Zhao Lihao on it had a hideous face, obviously having woken up.

Now that I saw him wake up, my heart is also steady, I was afraid that he would never wake up again, but it seems that I am too worried.

Zhao Lihao's expressions were all twisted together, and his body was also twitching in pain, his wounds had been initially treated, but obviously he needed to wait for him to recover and continue to deal with them.

The good news is that he broke his wrist just now and really cut the entire venom outside, so he is not poisoned now. But the bad news, of course, is that he has since become a one-armed man.

For a Yin person, one arm is not a good thing, maybe his career will end here, and the same is Yu Hualong, who was gnawed off half of his calf by Xu Ruihu, Lao Yu, as a top Yin person, will never rely on one leg to cross the rivers and lakes in the future.

Looking at Zhao Lihao, I suddenly remembered the third grandfather, and I hurriedly asked the old cat: "Old cat, how is the third grandfather?" ”

The old cat glanced back at me, his eyes suddenly turned a little red, he waved his hand, and said, "Go, go out with me for a cigarette." ”

I followed the old cat out of the hospital, and the old cat took out a cigarette and handed me one. I didn't refuse, and let the old cat light the fire for me, and then the old cat took a deep breath and said, "The Xu family is too ruthless." ”

This is the first time I have heard the old cat admit that the enemy is strong, and this kind of admission is a kind of weakness, a kind of abandonment, and a kind of discouragement from a certain point of view.

"Old cat, don't say that, this is our first time, and the Xu family has almost used all the manpower. We even carried it this time, are we still afraid of the Xu family? Besides, haven't they made a move yet? I said quickly.

The old cat shook his head and said, "No, Lin Yang, how many people have come out of the Xu family just now?" Obviously, they don't have all their strength, but what about us, overnight, all the ones we can fight have shot, but we still lost so completely that we almost couldn't even raise our heads when we lost, so how can we fight with the Xu family? ”

Speaking of this, the old cat took a puff of his cigarette and continued: "Jia Zhaojun is dead, Zhao Lihao and Yu Hualong are gone, and Mandal doesn't know if he can live, third uncle...... Alas, I don't think my third uncle will last long. Who will be next? Is it my cousin? Or are you? Or me? I don't want to see that happen. ”

I looked at the old cat and asked, "So what do you think now?" We won't take revenge on this? This Xu family is not destroyed? Stoop to compromise? Or is it running for your life? Is it possible? Do you want to leave Rujun, Chen Xuance and Haoran behind, and let them face the Xu family alone? Besides, will your cousin agree? ”

The old cat looked at me with a wry smile and did not speak, but slowly smoked a cigarette.

I couldn't help but follow him and swallow the clouds, and my heart suddenly felt melancholy......

The Xu family's powerful ghosts are not invincible, and the reason why they were hit hard last night was only because several of these elites were not restrained by us.

We didn't kill a lot of ghosts, and Chen Xiaoqing and I devoured at least six or seven ghosts one after another.

It's not that there are no advantages, it's just that the advantages are not obvious.

I told the old cat these words, but the old cat remained silent.

I looked into the distance, the morning sun was shining with a touch of crystalline color, and I suddenly thought of rhubarb.

"Old cat, even if we give up, we have to wait until Rhubarb comes back, right? We still have him, he hasn't done it yet, let's give up now, isn't it too early? ”

When the old cat heard Rhubarb's name, the corners of his mouth moved unconsciously.

"Old cat, if Rhubarb knew that the two of us abandoned him and made such an uncompetitive decision without authorization, he would definitely not spare us, so you should give him another chance to perform, how about it?"

The old cat was still silent, but after a few seconds, he turned to look at me and nodded at me.
