ghost

After Zou Wumang's voice fell, the hall fell into silence.Geng Zhongzhi didn't answer immediately, he picked up the teacup by the table, drank it one after another, and let Zou Wumang stare at him.

After a long time, Geng Zhongzhi put down his teacup, met Zou Wumang's gaze, and gave a reply.

"In dealing with the Wang family, I don't think it is necessary for our Geng family to join forces with your faction."

"What I want is not the Geng family and our Xuanyong faction, fighting side by side, advancing and retreating together. I know that in the current Xuanshu circle, sects compete with aristocratic families, and the two sides have different positions. Moreover, no matter whether our Xuanyong faction Is it being calculated and used by others? I was indeed in an antagonistic relationship with you before. With these prospects, even if we sincerely propose to join forces, it will be difficult for you to trust us. Dare to force, I just hope Patriarch Geng can communicate with each other in intelligence because the Wang family is our common enemy. As for who the Wang family will be in the end, it depends on luck and ability."

"Is there any intelligence exchange? This suggestion sounds good." Geng Zhongzhi said, "However, our Geng family doesn't know much about the Wang family, so we may not be able to provide any useful information."

"Patriarch Geng, what you said is not kind." The middle-aged man sitting next to Zou Wumang said, "As for the Wang family that suddenly appeared, I am afraid that no one in the Xuanshu circle has the four major families like you. People who know better?"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Geng Zhongzhi raised his eyes and glanced at the middle-aged man, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Is it interesting to ask without knowing it?" The middle-aged man slapped the corner of the table angrily, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zou Wumang's eyes.

"My uncle Wang Tonglin has the habit of keeping a diary, and we saw his diary when we were sorting out his belongings." Zou Wumang continued, "It is mentioned that Min Xiao's associates are the Wang family, and the Wang family—— About a thousand years ago, Gu, Ren, Geng, Qi, and a long-extinct family with you were collectively known as the six major families in the mystical circle."

"You said that it happened thousands of years ago. A long time of 1000 years is enough for the direct lineages in our clan to change several times. We don't know much about the last few direct lineages, let alone how many lines we don't know. The former lineage belongs to the same family." Geng Zhongzhi said calmly.

"You don't know about the Wang family, you so-called aristocratic families, don't you all have family files..." The middle-aged man next to Zou Wumang couldn't help shouting again.However, halfway through his words, he disappeared under Geng Zhongzhi's suddenly cold gaze.

"We have family files, but there is no record of the Wang family's affairs." Geng Zhongzhi said.

Fang Xia glanced sideways at Geng Zhongzhi, who was talking nonsense with his eyes closed, and it seemed to be true.He has only entered the Geng family's dossier room, and has not read the Geng family's dossier, but in the previous meeting of the four families, he talked about a lot of things about the Wang family-the curse of the Wang family, as a way to enter the family together with the ancestors of the four families. One of the friends in the legacy land, but he has left a lot of content in the files of the four major families.

"I don't believe there are no records related to the Wang family in the file..." The middle-aged man whispered unwillingly.

Geng Zhongzhi's hearing was excellent, and he heard the man's words clearly.He snorted coldly, and his tone became colder, "What? You want me to bring out the family files, and ask you Xuanyong Sect to take a look at them one by one?"

Even members of the clan are not necessarily qualified to read the files of the aristocratic family. You, an outsider, open your mouth to check it. This is not just a matter of how big your face is, but a blatant provocation to this family!Geng Zhongzhi's question, as long as he is not ignorant and short-sighted, he will not open his mouth to agree.Among the four people Xuan Yong sent to visit, except for the middle-aged man who was a little impulsive, obviously none of them were really careless.

"Patriarch Geng, you misunderstood, we didn't mean that." The middle-aged woman among the four members of the Xuanyong Sect spoke softly.

"So, do you have anything else to do?" Geng Zhongzhi's tone was indifferent, and his eyes turned to the outside of the lobby, with the obvious intention of seeing off the guests.

"Since we are not honored to cooperate with your Geng family, we will leave first." Zou Wumang stood up and said, "Before I leave, I would like to ask the Geng family master one more question."

"what is the problem?"

"The Wang family is collecting sacrificial stones, and they want to open the mountain gate. There are seven sacrificial stones in total. According to our information, they have already got six, and they will go to that place soon. I think Do you know what that place is and where it is." Zou Wumang stared at Geng Zhongzhi and asked.

Geng Zhongzhi raised his eyelids, "Why are you asking this?"

Zou Wumang replied: "The destination of the Wang family is that place. If there is no way to find them beforehand, then we will go to the destination of the Wang family and we will always be able to catch them."

"I don't know where that place refers to."

Geng Chongzhi gave a negative answer, and Zou Wumang's face became gloomy again, but he didn't attack in the end, and left the Geng's old house with the other three Xuanyong sect members.

"Then Zou Wumang's personality has changed a lot. He would have lost his face before." Fang Xia leaned on the chair, looked at the entrance of the lobby, shook his head and said, "Now I feel that I have grown up and matured."

"What's your old consoling tone?" Geng Shudan who was sitting at the top laughed and said, "It's as if you are his elder, but he is several years older than you!"

"I'm much more mature than him." Fang Xia raised his chin and said.

You are much thicker than him, right?Geng Shu thought in his heart, but he didn't continue to talk nonsense with Fang Xia.His eyes fell on Fang Xia's hand, the ring on the ring finger flashed so that his eyes hurt a little.After that, she turned her eyes to look at Fu Jin's hand calmly, and sure enough, she found a platinum ring of the same style as Fang Xia's on her ring finger.

In the lobby, the two members of the Geng family branch said a few words to Geng Zhongzhi, got up and left first.Fang Xia also got up, ready to go back to the apartment, but was stopped by Geng Zhongzhi.

"Then you guys are chatting, and I'll go back first." Geng Shudan picked up the medical crutches that were placed beside the chair, and stood up while supporting his crutches.His broken leg had a cast removed, but it hasn't healed yet.

"Fu Jin and I will also go back to the apartment, let's drop by later!" Fang Xia glanced at Geng Shudan's injured leg, and suggested.He and Geng Shudan live in the same apartment building, and the relationship between going upstairs and downstairs makes it easy for him to go home.

Geng Shudan took out his phone, glanced at the message, and then Fang Xia said: "No need, Chu Ji is here to pick me up."

After Geng Shudan finished speaking, he leaned on his crutches and walked towards the entrance of the lobby.He probably used the pair of crutches for a while, and his movements were very smooth, and he walked out of the lobby very quickly.

"What do you want to say to me?" After watching Geng Shudan walk out of the gate, Fang Xia turned to look at Geng Zhongzhi again.

"If you were the Patriarch of the Geng family, and the Xuanyong Sect proposed to join forces just now, would you agree or refuse?" Geng Chongzhi asked.

"I'm not the head of the Geng family."

"I'm just going to make assumptions."

"Of course I chose to refuse." Fang Xia said without thinking.

Geng Zhongzhi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that although Fang Xia looked unreliable, he was not a person who could not weigh the pros and cons.

The fact that the Geng family couldn't join forces with the Xuanyong Sect was not just because of what Zou Wumang said, the sect and the family were competing, and there was no solid foundation of trust between the Geng family as a family and the Xuanyong Sect as a sect.What's more, they can't tell about the leftover land, and the other three families of the four major families will not choose to disclose this matter.

They don't know exactly where the remnant land is, but once this news is leaked, it will cause turmoil in the mystic arts circle similar to a thousand years ago, prompting everyone in the circle to search for the remnant land one after another.Back then, people from the six major families found the remnants, and let a large group of ghosts in the relics appear in the world. Now the members of the four major families will not move, but they will still appear to replace the six major families a thousand years ago, and then there will be another battle. Tragic disaster.That kind of turmoil is that no matter how much you warn about the danger of the leftover land, there will still be people looking for it. As long as the news gets out, there is no way to stop it—just like the six major families in the past, why didn’t they hear about the land at that time? It was very dangerous, but in the end they went.

"Why did you choose to refuse?" Geng Zhongzhi asked while thinking.He didn't expect Fang Xia to think of all the pros and cons, but if he could think of some of them, he would be considered an heir.

"What why? Zou Wumang once trapped my friend in the factory in C City, and even attacked me with evil spirits. Join forces with him, what are you kidding?" Fang Xia rolled his eyes at Geng Zhongzhi.

Geng Zhongzhi: "..." So what you think is purely personal grievances?

Well, he shouldn't have expected it in the first place.

"You just want to ask me this? I have nothing else to do, so I'll go back first, and I have to go back to collect the quilt."

"One more thing——" Geng Zhongzhi took a deep breath, and looked at Fu Jin who was next to Fang Xia, "Actually, I think the same as the Xuanyong faction. They, go to the leftovers to guard. We can't let them enter the leftovers. To offend you, we don't mind the Wang family going to the leftovers to die, but we can't let them open the mountain gate and let the ghosts in the leftovers come out to make trouble In the world. Therefore, I have an unfeeling request——Mr. Fu Jin, can you tell us the location of your graveyard——the legacy.”

Fu Jin looked at Geng Zhongzhi with a calm expression, no obvious emotion could be seen on his face.

Geng Zhongzhi couldn't help feeling uneasy, and was about to withdraw his preface, but Fu Jin replied in a cold voice: "Yes."
