Chapter Seventy-Eight: Zhang Dong's Bet
The old house is big, with a front yard and a backyard hall.
There is a patio in front to gather water, and a courtyard in the back to listen to the rain.
There are locust trees in front and back, and the age of the locust tree looks very large, intertwined, showing the color of twilight.
It's like the old man with his hair in front of him.
The old man took Yu Zhile and He Yin'er to the table next to the patio.
"Sit."
The old man sat on a stone bench, waved his hand, a pot of tea, and three cups appeared.
He Yin'er's pupils shrank.
Yu Zhile looked very calm and sat down silently.
He Yin'er saw that Yu Zhile was so invisible, and he hesitated for a while and sat down.
The old man glanced at He Yin'er, without too much expression, and reached out to take the teapot.
Yu Zhile hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the old man.
The old man nodded, slightly satisfied.
Seeing the old man nodding, Yu Zhile poured tea on his and He Yin'er teacups.
After putting the teapot away, Yu Zhile waited honestly.
The old man didn't speak, he didn't dare to say a word more.
"My name is Zhang Dong, and I was born in the Republic of China." The old man picked up the teacup, and the first sentence made Yu Zhile's heart beat uncontrollably.
He Yin'er swallowed her saliva, her pupils constricted, and her heart was extremely shocked.
"Your name is Yu Zhile, I know you, I saw you when you were born."
The second sentence made Yu Zhile a little surprised.
The old man blew on the tea leaves, and the heat came out.
Yu Zhile looked at the hot air coming out of the teacup, and his eyes were thoughtful, the tea in the teapot was cold tea, but in Zhang Dong's hands, it was hot tea.
"Drink tea." The old man looked at the two of them's teacups.
Yu Zhile and He Yin'er hurriedly picked up the teacup and drank it in small sips.
"Your grandfather is very good, he plans to fight with Xiao Qin to win or lose, he is very naΓ―ve, but very interesting."
"Yu Qianliu thinks that you are the hope to save the world, but Xiao Qin thinks that you are a child who is still in high school."
"There's nothing wrong with either, after all, it's in the future."
"Yang Jian is the hope that Xiao Qin got by peeking into the future, and Ling is the hope that your grandfather picked."
"But the two of you are different, you are your grandfather's only, but Yang Jian is not."
"Every city has such a person who is valued by Xiao Qin, whoever shows strong ability and is in line with the future trend, then he will calculate a few more points."
"Similar to betting, Xiao Qin places each one, and then picks the one with the most hope."
"However, Yang Jian is an exception, he has bet more chips than others from the beginning."
"Maybe it's because of guilt, or maybe it's because he's worth it."
Yu Zhile's hand holding the teacup stiffened.
He looked at Zhang Dong incredulously.
After a long silence, he asked a question, "Who survives to the end and who is the candidate to solve the supernatural resurgence?" β
"No, whoever behaves in line with Xiao Qin's intentions, then he will be that person."
"Xiao Qin's time to see people is very short, it only takes three months, and he can determine who that person is."
"There are more than 200 cities in the country, no matter how big or small, there is such a person, and in addition to those who have died, there are still 36 people."
"Thirty-three of these thirty-six people were given up by Xiao Qin, and now there are only three left."
"Do you want to know who the remaining two are?" The old man looked at Yu Zhile, and there was no trace of brilliance in his cloudy eyes.
If he hadn't known that the person in front of him was still alive, he might have thought that it was a ghost sitting in front of him.
"Guess what?" Yu Zhile asked cautiously.
"Guess." The old man nodded.
"Except for Yang Jian, is one of them called Ye Zhen?"
"Well, it's him, but it's not going to be, he's going to be abandoned." The old man nodded, a look of approval in his eyes.
"There's one more, keep guessing."
The old man looked at Yu Zhile and drank tea slowly.
"I don't know." Yu Zhile shook his head and replied very sincerely.
Mysterious recovery, he knows so many people, and there are only a few capable ones.
In order to highlight Yang Jian's fierceness, the rest of the captains or something, Wang Chaling, Shen Lin, and Ye Zhen can see it, and the rest are not as good as Li Yang.
"What you will meet in the future, it is a strange person, a person who is strong and weak, ordinary people can kill him when he is weak, and when he is strong, he can kill me, it's easy."
"He is a person who suddenly appeared, because of him, Xiao Qin specially came to find me."
"He's not dangerous, he's dangerous."
"He's a person who can't extricate himself from his own world, he can't see the world clearly, and when I see him, he keeps repeating a sentence, Coco is dead, she's dead, both worlds have failed."
At that time, he seemed to notice me, and said intentionally or unintentionally, is he really a living person? Are you sure it's not a book, or is it a dream? β
"I think he's crazy, but I don't think he's crazy."
"I haven't seen him since."
"Because of this man's mystery, he is seen as a hidden hope."
The old man seemed a little complicated and a little dazed.
The old man said it very easily, but Yu Zhile listened to it with a creepy feeling.
How can this person listen to the more he steps on the horse, like a traverser?
The people in the book, Yu Zhile knows deeply that except for him, everyone else is a person in the book.
He was just an outsider, an outsider involved in this cruel story.
"No, they're people in a book, so is it possible that I'm also a character in a book?"
"What I am thinking now, was it written down by the author?"
The more Yu Zhile thought about it, the more furious he became, because he couldn't prove whether he was a character in a book or not.
"There's no good in thinking too much." The old man picked up the teapot and refilled it.
"I'm telling you this just to make you understand one thing, since the silence of the ghosts in the Republic of China, everyone is looking for what they think is hope."
"Nowadays, most of the ghost riders have people watching behind them."
"Those who have good potential are given hope, and the old antiques who are about to die will leave their legacy to those they value."
"But unfortunately, most of them didn't catch it."
"In addition, some old antiques have given up hope, and after death, they directly dismantled their ghosts and threw them into the cemetery."
"That's why ghost riders are scarce, and of course, it's only in this period, in this period when the ghosts are just recovering."
"In the back, there will be a lot of ghost riders, but not too many."
"This kind of thing will not happen after a rain."
"Just like when the ghosts just recovered during the Republic of China, this is just the restart of an era."
The old man had a lot of words, but Yu Zhile was very patient.
What the old man said made Yu Zhile solve a lot of doubts.
Why does he always feel that there is a calculation in it.
Now that I think about it, which ghost rider who has grown up has not calculated?
Those old antiques, when they still have hope, do their best to choose the seeds of hope.
Then let those seeds grow as safe as possible.
But this safety only means that it will not cause much harm to ordinary people.
The rest is not important.
"Now, there are many people who have inheritance, but there are few who can survive to the end, after all, they are not your grandfather, they don't care about other people's lives or deaths, they only care about you."
The old man looked at Yu Zhile with deep eyes, "I'm afraid that you will be slapped to death by me, so I specially got two curses for you, the curse of the ghost bride involves two important people of mine, your existence may be able to make them a lot smoother, if it weren't for this, you would have died when you were in Huai Village." β
The more Yu Zhile listened, the more furious his heart became, and he felt that he could see Zhang Dong alive, or because of the little wife who blocked the road before?
"I called you over for tea today, the real reason is to inform you that I am interested in you and have placed a bet on you, I hope you don't know what to do and play yourself to death."
"I haven't paid attention to juniors in years, and your grandfather is really annoying." The old man waved his hand, and a blood-red comb appeared in his hand.
The old man placed it on the table.
"The puzzle of the ghost bride, I occupy most of it here, the third room on the left, basically, the cupboard in your chest, also came out of this room, this is one of the biggest puzzles."
"There's no way I'm going to give you everything right now, this comb is just right."
"The rest of the puzzle, there is a faceless female corpse in Luo Qian's cemetery, that is the body of the bride, Meng Xiaodong has one piece, Li Qingzhi's hotel has one, Luo Wensong has one in his hometown, it should still be there now, Zhang Bohua has one there, Zhang Youhong also has one, but don't think about this one, she is still between life and death, you can't get it for the time being."
The old man put down the teacup, thought for a moment and said, "Don't dig up that faceless female corpse until you become an alien." β
"Ahem......"
Yu Zhile coughed abruptly, and the tea almost squirted out.
He was a little frightened.
Today's Zhang Dong seems to be extremely kind.
"You...... Are you going to end up too? Yu Zhile digested it for a while before sorting out everything Zhang Dong said.
Zhang Dong was obviously pointing out the next path for him, which was a treatment that even Zhang Xianguang had never had.
"What's going on? If I use my mouth, will it be the end? Zhang Dong sneered, "Then I'm too cheap." β
Yu Zhile stopped talking, and now he feels that it is wrong to say anything.
"You can go, this era is under the control of the old antiques until most of them die."
"If you don't want to be treated as a marionette, try to live, and then become strong until those old antiques don't dare to mention the thread on you."
The old man knocked on the table, and there were some other emotions in his cloudy eyes.
"Okay, you pay attention to your body!"
Yu Zhile picked up the comb, and without hesitation, he pulled He Yin'er and turned around and walked towards the outside of the old mansion.
He had to take his time and sort out what he had just heard.
