(This chapter writes about Zhang Menyu’s secret trap, which will be filled in by Zanghaihua and Shahai)
——
Huo Xiangu poured the boiling water into the tea boat, then used a teaspoon to scoop some tea cake pieces prepared in advance, put them into the teapot with a tea funnel, and poured the boiling water into it.
"I'm very curious as to why a person like you would be willing to stay with a second-generation ancestor, hiding silently and only acting as a powerful thug." Huo Xiangu seemed really confused.
Zhang Zhuxun snorted, "It is rare to hear such high praise from the leader of the Huo family, the seventh among the nine sects."
"However." Zhang Zhuoxun changed the topic, "If you think that this will prevent me from pursuing the case and you are willing to let me do whatever you want, I can only say that your calculations are in the wrong place."
"Also, my brother is not the second-generation ancestor you think he is. He is more capable than you think." Zhang Zhuxun's eyes gradually became colder. "It's a pity that he can't see his future. Compared with Huo Xiuxiu, you can't see it anymore." He will be alone after leaving, and there is still a lot of room for him to grow."
Hearing this, Huo Xiangu was a little stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "Yes, that boy is much luckier than Xiu Xiu. With you by his side, even if he takes the old path of Wu San Province, it won't be so hard."
Zhang Zhuoxun looked at her quietly and didn't answer.
Huo Xiangu was not in a hurry, and took her tea in a leisurely manner. Then she poured a cup for Zhang Zhuoxun, about half full, and pushed it in front of him along with an jade ring.
Zhang Zhuxun lowered his eyelids and took a look. He recognized that the jade ring was probably the one on Huo Ling's hand, or the one on Huo Xiangu's hand. He couldn't help but wonder, "What do you mean by this?"
Huo Xiangu said calmly: "Sit down, I want to negotiate a deal with you."
"Deal?" Zhang Zhuoxun raised his eyebrows, pulled out his chair and sat down, looking back and forth between her empty hand and the ring on the table.
After thinking quietly for a moment, he suddenly reacted and asked, "Why, do you think Jie Yuchen and Huo Zhongling are not enough and want to bring me in?"
Seeing his reaction, Huo Xiangu took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, no one is more suitable than you."
Zhang Zhuoxun laughed directly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Old lady, you are tossing and turning to show that you are not planning on me thoroughly and are not willing to give up. Aren't you afraid that if I am really angry, it will turn out to be detrimental to Huo Xiuxiu? ?”
"You won't." Huo Xiangu was sure and said calmly, "To be honest, when I first saw that box at the Crescent Hotel, my first reaction was that the person behind it asked you to come to my door and threaten Xiaoling. I'm sorry, I asked you what you wanted, but you didn't say it directly."
The moment she saw the hand that belonged to Huo Ling, she was almost overwhelmed by anger and sadness. She wanted to catch the guy in front of her and torture him immediately, but she tried her best to restrain it.
For Huo Ling's sake, she had to endure it.
"After coming out of the Crescent Hotel, I originally planned to have someone catch the four of you halfway, but you suddenly sought my temporary asylum, and what you said was strange, which made me suspicious of your behavior."
Zhang Zhuxun suddenly pointed out the mouse hiding in the dark and watching them, which surprised Huo Xiangu.
Ever since she received the videotape, she had been feeling as if someone around her was watching her. She could feel that those people were obviously not the Huo family.
So over the years, she has never slacked off in searching for the ancient Zhang family building.
Zhang Zhu looked for a new arrival, and suddenly revealed the existence of those people with one sentence, and showed obvious hostility towards those people, which also made Huo Xiangu doubt his identity.
Either he was sent by a hostile force secretly hiding those people, or he rebelled from the force that threatened her. No matter which point it was, his value was worthy of reconsideration.
So Huo Xiangu took them to Huo's house and talked to Wu Xiaoxie alone. Firstly, it was for the sake of style, and secondly, it was a quiet test. Zhang Zhuxun's intention to protect Wu Xiaoxie was too obvious. Wu Xiaoxie's best breakthrough point is here.
But through Wu Xiaoxie's words, she learned the true whereabouts of Huo Ling, which was completely different from what she thought. She thought that her daughter was locked up somewhere by those people and her freedom was restricted, and she was still alive.
However, Wu Xiaoxie's words shattered her extravagant expectations. Her daughter had actually been harmed by those people twenty years ago, and turned into a monster that was neither human nor ghost, neither dead nor alive, and was trapped in the Golmud Sanatorium forever. .
Those people have been lying to her!
Realizing this, Huo Xiangu felt a surge of anger in her chest. She wanted revenge. She wanted to let those people know the consequences of daring to deceive her.
Zhang Qiling's appearance was an unexpected surprise, making Huo Xiangu realize that she had a better chance of winning against those people. No one knew the Zhang family's ancient building better than the head of the Zhang family.
But Zhang Qiling lost his memory, let alone learned the exact location of the ancient building and the method of entry from him.
What also surprised her was that the person who made her unsure of whether she was a friend or an enemy was also a member of the Zhang family, and from his mouth she learned the possible truth about what happened that year.
She began to plan a chess game in her mind, and the most important and critical chess piece was the Zhang family.
However, before she could think about it, Zhang Qiling suddenly asked to leave, and the younger Zhang family members also exposed her trick, which made her feel a little embarrassed. She could only temporarily provide a place to comfort them, and then let Huo Xiuxiu and Zhao Xiu Xie Yuchen, who was discussing cooperation, went to test them one after another.
In the constant confrontation with the Zhang family juniors, Huo Xiangu also gradually realized that the situation was not completely under her control. If she wanted to achieve cooperation with these people, she could only compromise.
But she is not discouraged, and everything can be compromised in the face of revenge.
Huo Xiangu knew very well that in the huge Huo family, there were very few people who really shared her heart. She had already anticipated the current situation and had arranged everything, so she was not panicking.
However, what she never expected was that in order to monitor her, those people in the dark would do whatever they could. The people on the side were also useless. They didn't even notice that the people around her had been swapped out a long time ago, and among those people Under his provocation, the side branch has been penetrated and riddled with holes.
As long as he makes a slight move, those people will definitely follow him in every possible way.
So she simply used the trick and brought over all the people she had doubts about, preparing to catch them all this time.
The situation is indeed developing as she planned, and now it has reached the most critical step.
Huo Xiangu knew in her heart that entering the Zhang family ancient building was a narrow escape, but she had to go in because she knew the purpose of the people behind the scenes. Only when she went in personally to get the thing would those people believe it, and after she had revealed it in advance. After the nails are dealt with, they will have to activate the nails hidden in darker places.
Only by removing all these nails can she hand over the clean Huo family to Huo Xiuxiu.
She had already lost a daughter and could not lose her granddaughter again. She would not allow Huo Xiuxiu to have a time bomb hidden around her that could explode at any time.
After listening to Huo Xiangu's heartfelt explanation, Zhang Zhuxun's expression did not change, and he even said indifferently: "It is indeed very touching, but what does this have to do with me."
Playing the family card doesn't work with him.
"After all, you still want to make me a chess piece in your hands, oh no, a chess piece in Huo Xiuxiu's hands. Do you think I'm stupid?" Zhang Zhu smiled playfully.
Hearing this, Huo Xiangu's face suddenly changed. All the sad expressions on her face disappeared, and she returned to her usual strategizing look. She sighed, "You are indeed very smart. I didn't choose the wrong person."
Zhang Zhuxun was a little dissatisfied with her talking to herself, "Hey, get it clear, I haven't agreed yet."
"You will agree." Huo Xiangu looked at him firmly.
Zhang Chuxun didn't think there was anything in Huo Xiangu's hand that could tempt him. He himself was in a mess that he hadn't dealt with, and he had the spare time to take care of his own Wu Xie.
"I've seen you before." Huo Xiangu suddenly said, her expression seemed to be reminiscing.
Zhang Zhuxun folded his arms and waited quietly for her trick, just like listening to the story.
"No, maybe it should be said, another you." Huo Xiangu said.
Zhang Zhuoxun's eyes were surprised. This old woman was very mysterious when she made up stories. Hearing this, she even created a clone for him.
Huo Xiangu said slowly: "I know you won't believe me now, but you can tell whether what I say next is true or false. Do you know Zhang Menyu?"
Zhang Menyu——
These three words were like thunder on a clear day, exploding in Zhang Zhuxun's ears.
The smile on Zhang Zhuoxun's face instantly disappeared. He leaned forward slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his whole body exuded a suffocating sense of oppression like cold iron.
Huo Xiangu was a little frightened. She calmed down and spoke again: "At first, I didn't realize that you were special. I just thought you were an ordinary Zhang family member. But until that day, I saw you wiping a knife. A knife with red fire patterns."
Zhang Zhuoxun's eyelids twitched, it was an illusion!
He rarely used that knife when going to the tomb because it was too evil. He only discovered later that the pattern on the knife's surface was a very special blood-drawing groove, making the knife As if he were alive, he would suddenly turn red when exposed to fresh blood, and the red flame tattoo on his right chest that was usually hidden would also start to move.
"When did you see him?" he asked.
"Many years ago," Huo Xiangu said, "he was also involved in the biggest tomb robbery in the history of Laojiu Sect."
Zhang Zhuoxun frowned and blurted out, "How is this possible?"
Huo Xiangu took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and said, "I know this is hard for you to believe, but that young man's name is indeed Zhang Menyu. In fact, if you look closely, your facial features are somewhat similar to his. "
"He was one of Buddha's men at the time, but the strange thing is that he always wore a silver mask on the right half of his face. He was silent all day long. What he carried on his back was the red fire pattern knife you wiped that day. The reason why I remember him deeply is because he was the main team member at that time. Every time he entered the cave, he brought back the most bamboo slips and silk shawls."
"Almost every time he would be seriously injured, but he would still lead the team into the cave the next day. I was deeply impressed by this man. I also tried to ask Buddha, but Buddha maintained his identity about this person. Keep silent and just say that he is a member of the Zhang family."
"What happened next?" Zhang Zhuxun asked hurriedly.
"I had other tasks in the later period, so I rarely led the team. I only know that there were heavy casualties that time. He didn't seem to come out, but Buddha ordered the faces of everyone present to be searched before evacuating. Regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, it seems that Zhang Menyu stole something very important from him and faked his death in the cave. In fact, the golden cicada escaped from his shell long ago and left the team."
"Since then, the nine sects have been in chaos. We, the sect leaders, have been too busy to take care of ourselves, and we have also kept silent about what happened in Siguniang Mountain." Huo Xiangu looked at Zhang Chuxun and sighed, "Since then, I have I’ve never seen him again, and I think you should know what happened after that.”
It can be heard from Huo Xiangu's words that she and Zhang Menyu actually have no intersection.
Zhang Zhuxun lowered his eyelids and judged in his heart the authenticity of what Huo Xiangu said.
He felt that 80% of Huo Xiangu's words were true, because first of all, the name Zhang Menyu was not fabricated casually, and secondly, Huo Xiangu would not make up lies to deceive him at this time, because she was already nearing her retirement age. She couldn't bear any backlash, and she wouldn't gamble with Huo Xiuxiu.
From this point of view, there was indeed a Zhang family named Zhang Menyu under Zhang Dafo, but the notebook he obtained was found in the overseas Zhang family, which means that Zhang Menyu originally belonged to the overseas Zhang family. Man, then why is he related to Zhang Qishan, who is from the Qiongqi lineage?
Could it be that Zhang Qishan's charm was so great that Zhang Menyu, who was wearing a unicorn, was willing to succumb?
Zhang Zhuoxun sneered at this. He didn't think the person suspected of being his biological father would be so stupid, so there was only one possibility, and that was that Zhang Menyu wanted to get something from Zhang Qishan, so he pretended to surrender.
In the end, Huo Xiangu did say that Zhang Menyu faked his death and "stole" something from Zhang Qishan. This thing was very important to Zhang Qishan, and he even wanted to find it even if he offended several other sects.
Such a valuable thing, after thinking about it, it is very likely to be Guixi.
The ghost seal that the little brother had when he entered the Bronze Gate should have been taken out from the Lu Palace and given to Chen Pi Asi at that time, but he did not give it to Chen Pi Asi in the end, so let’s not worry about the dispute for the time being.
In this way, after the little brother comes out of the bronze door, the ghost seal should still be in the little brother's hand.
The Ghost Seal photographed from the Crescent Hotel had been placed in a white wooden carved box by Zhang Zhuxun and handed over to Pan Zi. This Ghost Seal was to be left for Wu Xie to pick up his brother at the Bronze Gate.
The topic changes back to why Zhang Menyu took the Ghost Seal from Zhang Qishan back then, and what was his purpose? Could it be that he has also been to Changbai Mountain?
Why did this Guixi end up at the Crescent Hotel again?
