The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 246
As soon as he saw Zhang Jian, Ning Yuan went up to meet him. He walked up to Zhang Jian, took his hand and said, "Uncle Zhang, the two of you heard that you had something to ask for them. So you came over here. It just so happens that they also have something to ask for you." .”

"Oh?" Zhang Jian turned his head slightly when he heard this, and walked around Ning Yuan to look at the two people who were standing motionless at the door.

Yang Yang stood behind Yuan Mu, staring at the front without moving, not speaking, and showing no expression on his face.This was what Yuan Mu and Ning Yuan had told him before coming here.

This time, unless it was necessary, he pretended to be dumb the whole time, not saying a word, just nodding.And in order to prevent Yang Yang from being cheated, this time they handed over the task of the protagonist to Yuan Mu.

He is an ancient monster himself, basically he can be regarded as acting in his true colors, and basically there is no problem of passing through the gang. Therefore, this time Ning Yuan seems particularly confident.

Seeing that Zhang Jian's attention was not on himself, he introduced: "Both of you, this is the President Zhang Jian I told you about before, Uncle Zhang, this is the president who was on the cruise ship last time." You two masters, you have met."

"..."

"..."

For his introduction, Yuan Mu and Yang Yang just didn't respond.In fact, Yang Yang wanted to go up to him and say something to him, but seeing today's protagonist Yuan Mu didn't respond, and he couldn't take any action himself.

Fortunately, Zhang Jian did meet the two of them on a cruise ship before. Unlike Yang Yang, Yuan Mu really did something at that time, so even if he didn't believe Yang Yang, he had to believe it when he saw Yuan Mu .

So he immediately walked around Ning Yuan and walked up to the two of them, "It's a pleasure to meet you! The two of you come to the humble house, it really makes the humble house shine, and the grass shines!"

"Just you?" Yuan Mu completely turned a blind eye to his obvious flattery, but looked at Ning Yuan at the side and said, "Is this the place you're talking about?"

People in the world always have a strange idea, it seems that the more expert you are, the more you have to be different from other people in order to show your nobility and excellence. This is clear to Ning Yuan. clear.

So as soon as he came up, he put on an attitude that he didn't take Zhang Jian seriously at all, which made others dare not despise him even more.

Both Ning Yuan and Yuan Mu are not stupid, neither as slow as Chi Dun nor as honest as Yang Yang.

Their adaptability is very good, so although there was no rehearsal in advance, Ning Yuan quickly reacted to his words, he nodded and replied: "Yes, yes, this is here, here is the place I mentioned to you. Zhang's main house."

When Yuan Mu heard his words, he nodded slightly as a response, then looked around, then raised his legs and walked in. Yang Yang was taken aback when he saw his situation, and quickly followed.

Although he was very curious about what kind of medicine was sold in Yuan Mu's gourd, but now was not the time to ask this question. What he had to do was to follow Yuan Mu closely and play the role of a master of his generation.

"This house... was built during the Republic of China, right?" Yuan Mu didn't speak after entering the door, but walked around the living room of the Zhang family, completely ignoring the existence of Zhang Jian, the property owner.

Five minutes later, when Yang Yang was already estimating the value of all the decorations in the living room, Yuan Mu spoke.

"Yes, yes." Zhang Jian nodded when he heard what he said, and replied, "This house is my family's ancestral property, handed down from my great-grandfather."

"Your great-grandfather started from scratch, right?" Yuan Mu didn't say anything when he heard his words, but asked another question: "The people who built this house must not be ordinary people."

"Where is it, you are too much." Zhang Jian didn't show any fear when he heard this sentence, but said with a little pride: "That's my grandma's father."

"I said, otherwise he hasn't left yet." After listening to his words, Yuan Mu answered thoughtfully, then turned his head to look at a vase on the mahogany cabinet in the living room of the Zhang family, and fell silent. .

However, the speaker had no intention of listening, but what he said caused an uproar in Zhang Jian's heart.

Although what Yuan Mu said is actually something that everyone knows, even if it is not well known, the affairs of his family have long been no secret in the circle.

However, it was a coincidence that this matter came from Yuan Mu's mouth. If it were someone else, Zhang Jian would definitely think that he was a liar who came to extort money, and maybe he would have someone beat them out.

But he had seen Yuan Mu and Gao Ren do it on the cruise ship, and the final result was that Gao Ren went in and he was safe and sound, so Zhang Jian had to consider what he said.

The most important thing is that Zhang Jian has always felt that something is following him recently. He has not been very sensitive to this aspect since he was a child, even though he has been in the club for so many years.

He didn't really believe in this at first, but as a human being, he still knew the most basic way of repaying kindness, so he was not sloppy at all with what he was supposed to do after joining the club.

Until later, the more things he experienced and the older he got, the more he began to believe this gradually.In addition, he once had some words with a so-called expert, who told him that he does not need to believe in gods and Buddhas, but he must believe in cause and effect.

So for so many years, although Zhang Jian has not worshiped God, he has always loved to do good deeds. Once a person does a lot of good deeds, he will get peace of mind. This is true. At least for so many years, Zhang Jian’s My heart has been very peaceful.

He listened to the words of the expert, he believed in the cycle of cause and effect, and there is justice, but these things have changed recently, and he has always felt that something is following him recently, and that thing has no good intentions.

This made him panic. He thought of the shady activities behind the club for so many years. Although he did not participate in it, and sometimes even deliberately avoided it, many things cannot be said to have nothing to do with him.

Thinking of the death of his good friend again, how could he not be afraid?But at this time, Yuan Mu came up and told him that there was something left in his house, not to mention Zhang Jian, who would be afraid if it was it!

"Grand... Master, don't scare me!" Zhang Jian said immediately after hearing his words, "Who is it? Who refuses to leave?"

"It's not that he refuses to leave, it's that he hasn't left yet. There's a difference."

After Yuan Mu finished speaking, he turned his head and took a look at Zhang Jian. After seeing his face, he waved his hand with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, don't make that expression, he is not an evil spirit, he won't treat you like that. What do you do, he is the spirit of your family."

"Family spirit?" Obviously, as an out-and-out mortal who is more pure than Yang Yang and Ning Yuan, Zhang Jian has never heard of this term, he thought for a while and said: "You mean, family spirit? "

"That's something different." After hearing what he said, Yuan Mu explained with a smile: "Your so-called house immortals are little goblins with a little bit of mana and cultivation. These are usually snakes, foxes, etc. of.

But people don't like the title of goblin, so they call themselves immortals, just to ask for an offering.The family spirit is different. The family spirit is something that your own family has. It follows your blood. The stronger your family is, the stronger it is, and the more it can protect you. "

"Oh!" After listening to his explanation, Zhang Jian suddenly realized, "Then he is the patron saint of our family?"

"You're right if you want to say that." Yuan Mu heard his words, thought for a while, and didn't refute, but continued: "So you don't have to worry about him, or you can put it this way, if it wasn't for him and you The merits you accumulated before, you are no longer here now."

Yuan Mu's words didn't turn around at all, and Yang Yang felt a little sympathetic when he heard it.He looked at Zhang Jian.

I thought, it's really shameless for them to teach Chi Dun all day long that he doesn't know what tact is, so why don't they talk more tactfully?

This sword is also in eight lifetimes, and it was actually targeted by these two people. It is estimated that it will be fooled into selling itself and returning the money to these two people, right?

Yang Yang has absolute confidence in Yuan Mu and Ning Yuan's ability to fool people.

Sure enough, as soon as Yuan Mu's words fell, Zhang Jian became impatient. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab Yuan Mu's hand, but the latter slipped away.

So he could only stop at the same place and looked at the two pleadingly and said: "Please save my life, master! I have never done anything bad since I was sensible! Even those things in the meeting, although I I know but have never been involved in it!

I have always kept in mind what the master who asked me to join said, and never dared to forget!Also please, master, for the sake of my many years of hard work for the club, please help me! "

Seeing a person begging so hard, and Ning Yuan once said in the car that this person did not do anything harmful to nature, Yang Yang frowned in embarrassment, then stretched out his hand and tugged at Yuan Mu's sleeve.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Mu, whose sleeves were pulled off suddenly, was stunned for a moment, then as if remembering something, he turned his head to look at Yang Yang and asked, "Help him?"

"Yeah." Yang Yang nodded, as an answer. When Yuan Mu turned his head, he suddenly remembered what Ning Yuan and the others had specially told him not to speak or do other actions unless necessary, and to follow Yuan Mu. Wood will do.

Seeing his reserved appearance, Yuan Mu slightly raised the corners of his lips. In his heart, Yang Yang is such a kind person, if he can turn a deaf ear to other people's pleas, he won't be the Yang Yang he knew.

So although this action of his was somewhat beyond Yuan Mu's expectations, it was also within reason.

"Okay then, since you've already spoken, I'll take care of this business." Yuan Mu said, sighing.
