"Who?!"

With a clear voice and a delicate face, the teenage boy was glaring at me with a short knife in his hand, his eyes wandering, his lips pursed, and he looked like he had nothing to do.

I'm tired of saying the same opening sentence for a long time, but I'm still saying it again in a straight voice.

The manor, which has long been unoccupied, still uses the rules of the early years, which looks particularly ridiculous.

Fortunately, the little disciple did not shout around me as nervously as before, but respectfully opened the door for me with a greatly changed face.

I passed by him with a blank face, if I had even had this consciousness in the past, maybe I wouldn't have ended up today.

Lian Chen is easy to find, just in the small garden outside the villa, with her are Lian Lao and several young generations of the Lian family, looking only in their teens, presumably they are going to be cultivated as core disciples.

It's just a pity that the qualifications are average.

I leaned over quietly, and the moment I felt me, Lian Lao and Lian Chen, who were talking, looked back at me together.

The last time I broke up unhappily, I still remember it vividly, but now Lian Lao can still greet me with a smile, and even let me go upstairs to rest first, and then talk about business after dinner for a while.

I noticed that Lian Chen's delicate eyebrows twisted a little, and then returned to normal, I waved my hand to stop the disciple who wanted to come over and lead the way, "Elder Zhang's situation is not good, it's better to let me go over and see it directly." If it is not convenient for you, tell me which room it is, and I can go by myself. ”

Speaking of this, I paused, looked at Lian Lao, whose face sank, and continued, "Anyway, I used to live here, and I still have this memory in the place where I have lived since I was a child." ”

“...... Lian Chen, take him there. ”

Lian Lao was silent for a moment, commanded coldly, and then turned around and stopped paying attention to me, in just a few years, although the back of this once proud old man was straight at the moment, he lost a lot of weight, revealing a sense of vicissitudes.

Lian Chen didn't say anything, just nodded and led the way through the side door.

Side?

I frowned, it was formerly a place for visitors, the guest rooms inside the manor.

They put Lian Lao here?

A nameless fire ignited in his heart, and instantly burned from his chest to his whole body.

Lian Chen seemed to know what I was thinking, walked in front and said, "Don't blame Veteran Lian for placing Elder Zhang in the guest room, there are no other families here, the relationship between the Zhang family and the Lian family is tense, and Elder Lian can continue to contain ......"

"Heh, you mean to say that if you can give Zhang Lao a place to live for several years in a row, I should kneel down and be grateful, right?" I was a little cold between my eyebrows, and the friendship between the two of them was completely burned out with her words, "I don't know when you became such a person." ”

"At that time, you wanted to take Zhang Lao down as a hostage, didn't you stop me from asking people to negotiate several times? ”

I said ruthlessly, not only for the sake of Mr. Zhang, but also for the status of the Zhang family.

The four major families are divided, and now they are in their own ways, except for me and Ma Tianyu is an alliance, the Chen family is neutral, and the people led by Ma Lao are also in a wait-and-see state, except for occasional cooperation in interests, they really don't have much contact with each other.

Among them, Chen Ming and they came more diligently, according to Chen Lao, he was unwilling to wade into this troubled water, but every time he stood firmly on my side, and I understood the deep meaning in it.

Now in the face of me, even Chen can say such things, I am really heartbroken, and I thought that with years of friendship, even if she has family ties, at least she can be more sincere in the face of me, but now it seems that I am outrageously wrong.

Thinking about it, isn't Ma Tianyu still because Ma Lao and him disagreed, and resolutely brought his disciples to the Forbidden City to find me, if Lian Chen really had a trace of wavering in his heart, even if she couldn't be as straightforward as Ma Tianyu, at least she would be the same as Chen Ming.

However, she just stood quietly beside Lian Lao and did nothing.

I think the interests of the family are all she has at this time, and it is useless for the two of us to talk about each other.

I've admired the goddess for a long time, and that's all it takes when something happens.

"I don't mean Zhang Yan like that, it's just that the current situation of the Lian family is embarrassing, not accepted by several other major families, and there is no assistance from the Five Elements, and the government has adopted a procrastinating policy against us, no matter what resources are needed, they must go through strict approval, not to mention, many times the approval document cannot be issued......

Lian Chen stopped at the entrance of the corridor on the third floor, and turned to look at me with a little confusion, obviously not expecting me to say such ruthless words to her.

If it had been before, I might have really softened my heart, but seeing that she is still shirking at this moment, I don't even have the desire to continue listening.

"Don't say it, these are just excuses, if you really want to get out of the predicament, you just need to admit your mistakes in front of the big families and reformulate the covenant. This is not difficult for you, but there is still the Ma family with you at that time. But look at what you've done at home?"

I don't want to say much about the real wood dynasty, once it is revealed, it means that the Lian family can not deal with the Zhang family openly, anyway, their ancestor was like this thousands of years ago.

The same is true for the Zhang family, I don't want to make a mess of the world, and now it is difficult to clean up the situation.

Lian Chen was speechless by what I said, only lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

I could already feel the faint breath of Dao Zhang, so I didn't care about her, raised my legs and walked towards the end of the corridor.

"Zhang Yan, wait a minute!"

Lian Chen seemed to be alarmed by my movements, and reached out to grab me, but I was a step ahead of her reaction, and I had already made a mistake to avoid it.

"I think I need time to think about my relationship with the Lien family in the future...... Including us. ”

Without looking back, I calmly left a sentence and let Lian Chen stand in place stunned.

Push open the door as carefully as possible, the dark room smells of death everywhere.

Zhang's old days are numbered.

How so?

I walked to the bedroom step by step, my eyebrows furrowed together.

When I left the Great Xia Kingdom, although Zhang Lao was not in good health, he was far from this point, not to mention that the few times we used the contact letter to contact us after that, it was not in this state.

...... Something must have happened.

"Old Zhang?" I had already guessed, but I still approached cautiously, the old man lying quietly on the wide bed covered with a quilt was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, and his cheeks, which were originally full of red light, were now similar to skeletons in human skin.

The surging hatred rushed out of his chest, and what he said to Lian Chen just now seemed to be lighter......

"You're here...... Don't blame Lian Lao, he has done his best. ”

Feeling me, Zhang Lao's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and his cloudy gaze was fixed on me after going around for a while, and after looking at me, he barely hooked up a smile, "Mature, it's a pity that I don't have much time, I'm afraid I can't help you anything, I saw a ghost a few days ago, just standing at your feet." ”

Zhang Lao spoke slowly, and I listened to it one by one, as if a pair of big hands were holding my heart, and I was about to suffocate.

"Don't say that, Hades said that you still have more than twenty years to live, and it is impossible for you to fall now. "I'm telling the truth, it's true that I saw it in the book of life and death, but Zhang Lao shook his head very slowly, telling me not to dwell on this.

He told me not to blame Lian Jia, even the old man didn't want to be old, and he used a lot of methods, but he still couldn't slow down the speed of his life.

I pursed my lips and shook my head, not intending to stop there, "I'll go to the underworld and ask Hades what's going on, you wait for me." ”

Raising his hand to make a talisman seal, I asked Bai Ling, who was far away in the Forbidden City, to hurry over and show Zhang Lao, and then entered the yin road despite his obstruction.

I've been here several times in the gray sky, and now I don't have any ghosts to stop me, and a few of the more familiar ones will stop and say hello to me.

I didn't have the time to make small talk with them, I just nodded and hurried towards Hades' palace, and when I got there, I was inexplicably relieved to see Hades lying crookedly resting on the long collapse.

I'm really worried that this guy will go out and wander again.

After talking about Zhang Lao's situation in a few words, I squatted under the long collapse and stared at him, and the judge glanced back and forth at the two of us, and retreated speechlessly.

"Elder Zhang?" Lord Yan opened his eyes, glanced at me, took out the book of life and death, and then frowned like me.

"What's wrong, is there something wrong?" This expression is very familiar to me, every time something happens, this guy is this serious face, so I quickly poked my head over and leaned in.

Then I saw that Zhang Lao's name was lightly crossed by a red bar, and the time written on the back was a month later.

I was surprised and said loudly, "Impossible! Didn't you say that Zhang Lao Shouyuan will die in more than 20 years, why...... Why is it only a little more than a month?"

Hades pursed his lips and accepted the book of life and death, "It's his fate that has changed." Someone changed his fate, you shouldn't be yelling at me now, but you should check out who has done something to Zhang Lao recently. ”

"Can't you see it in the book of life and death?"

I don't give up asking.

"The book of life and death can only see the outcome of events, but not the passage. Also, although the fit between your soul and body is stronger, you still can't come down frequently, and the next time you let someone else come, I'm tired of seeing your face. ”

After Hades finished speaking, he continued to close his eyes and take a break, not paying any more attention to me.

Actually, that last sentence is what you want to say.

The corners of my eyes twitched, but I obediently followed Hades' words and returned to the earthly path.

By the time I reappeared, there was already one more person in the room.

"My healing ability is useless, maybe you can call the people of the water tribe to take a look, I always have a kind of eerie power on it, maybe it's some kind of evil magic?"

Seeing me appear, Bai Lingtou, who was half-sitting on the edge of the bed, would not speak.

Sorcery?
