Hush!secret

The old man in front of him withered, the corners of his mouth turned up, his smile couldn't reach his eyes, his pale skin, which he hadn't noticed in the past, under the moonlight, was like the epilogue of an ice toad, revealing the decay of corrosion.

"Grandpa." Shang Zhongli stood up in a daze, and just blurted out the words, when he thought of something, his eyes immediately turned into vigilance, "Are you my grandfather?"

"Why not? I'm your good grandpa, and you are my good grandson!" Shang Jili didn't hear footsteps or breathing. Just now, Chu Rui and Shang Zhongli didn't notice his existence at all.

Chu Rui had never been suspicious of Shang Jili in the past, but now that he thinks about it, there are already clues. For example, Shang Jili never eats with them, and he has never been out of the garden. The farthest distance is to the same cold place. Houshan, it's just that he ignored them, and no one would suspect that the people around him were a kind old man, who was the first kindness he received when he came to the business, but now this kind-hearted face in the past looks like But like a ghost from hell.

Chu Rui carefully looked at Shang Zhongli and Shang Jili in front of him, their facial features seemed to be different, and the appearance of Bai Ling and Shang Liyue flashed in his mind, Chu Rui had a guess in his heart, Chu Rui asked : "The three of them are not your grandsons at all, are they?"

Shang Jili didn't hide it, but sneered from his throat: "How come, Shang Zhongwu's descendants are also my descendants, we are one."

The amount of information was a little bit, and the two people on the opposite side were stunned.It seems that Shang Zhongwu is General Shang, so the lineage of merchants is actually a descendant of General Shang, but for some reason, it was brought up by Shang Jili.

Shang Zhongwu. Shang Jili. This connection made Chu Rui shudder: "Shang Zhongwu still has a big brother?"

Shang Jili did not hide his admiration for Chu Rui: "By the way, he also has an elder brother and a third younger brother, but the third younger brother has nothing to do, but the elder brother has three sons and two daughters, so I broke the third younger brother's neck." , I will replace him by Zhongwu's side, it's justified."

Not only did he not feel guilty about the cruel and bloody things he said, but he was also a little excited, which really made the hairs stand on end.

"What's the right thing to say? If I'm not mistaken, you've always been like this. Every time you can't hide your identity, you'll kill a businessman and replace him, right?" Chu Rui said.

Shang Jili did not deny it.

Shang Zhongli still has a lot of things he wants to ask Shang Jili. He wants to ask why his parents abandoned him, why they tried every means to attract Chu Rui, and whether he was also their hand, but he didn't ask. , Chu Rui's voice came out impatiently: "What did you find in the illusion?"

Shang Jili was a little surprised. He thought that Chu Rui would ask him why he brought Chu Rui into the business, and he had many questions, but this was the first question Chu Rui asked. He looked at the thin man in front of him, and his heart became angry. With great hope, the eyes also burst into light.

That's right, this demeanor matches up with the vigor in his foundation!it's him!

Shang Jili didn't answer them, he just took two steps back, and behind him, a rugged blue figure climbed out, with exactly the same face and skin texture as Shang Jili, just like twins The same, but the difference is that the figure behind him is empty and indistinct, as if it will dissipate at any time, but Shang Zhongli can feel the terrifying power contained in the other party's spirit body.

An old monster of more than 400 years, its strength is terrifying.

After releasing the monster, Shang Jili glanced at them indifferently, then walked downstairs slowly.

"Shang Jili, what did you find? Did you find a way to revive Shang Zhongwu? Speak up! Don't go!" Chu Rui shouted and chased after them, and the monsters at the door immediately rushed towards them. Shang Zhongli had sharp eyesight and quick hands He quickly hugged Chu Rui by the waist, avoided the attack of the monster, and at the same time drew out the long sword and threw it at Shang Jili.

The frightening thing was that when the long sword came around Shang Jili, it actually slowed down, and the blade began to soften, and finally was directly drawn by Shang Jili in his hand.

Seeing that Shuo seemed to have lost his combat power, Shang Zhongli's eyes widened with anger, beyond shock.

Shang Jili clasped his index finger and thumb, and flicked on the tip of the sword: "You forgot that I gave you this sword. How could a loyal servant hurt his master?"

Shang Jili seemed to be in a daze, and in his heart he completely regarded Shang Zhongwu as his own, without distinguishing between each other.

After saying this, he snorted coldly, walked down the stairs, and disappeared into the darkness.

"The secret of the illusion, we can know the secret of the illusion!" Chu Rui incoherently grabbed the clothes on Shang Zhongli's chest.

Knowing the secret of the illusion, maybe they can find a way to escape the illusion, this is a dead end.

"Don't let him go!"

Shang Zhongli's eyes froze and he was about to chase people. The monster behind him was fast and fierce. Unlike the previous monsters, this monster seemed to be intelligent. It didn't attack Shang Zhongli blindly, but slid forward. Chu Rui came.Shang Zhongli dodged immediately, the wind brought by the monster swept past the door and closed the study door.

not good!

Shang Zhongli was obviously not the opponent's opponent, he could only fight hand-to-hand without a sword, he directly hugged Chu Rui and blocked the monster's attack with his back, his blood surged, and a mouthful of blood splashed on the wall.

"Shang Zhongli!" Chu Rui wanted to break free from Shang Zhongli's embrace, but the gnat shook the big tree and couldn't move at all. Instead, Shang Zhongli closed his arms, and received another hasty blow from the monster, unable to resist.

"Shang Zhongli, let go! Let go of me!" Chu Rui shouted, his back soaked with sweat.

The target of the monster was obviously himself, Chu Rui had already seen it, and of course Shang Zhongli also saw it, so he desperately wanted to protect Chu Rui.Seeing the monster puffing out its arrogance and stretching its arms, as if it was about to tear Shang Zhongli apart, Chu Rui's pupils contracted violently. Fortunately, Shang Zhongli had a second to spare, took out the talisman, quickly chanted, and the yellow beam of light pierced him. Seeing the monster's eyes, forcing the other party to deviate from the direction, Shang Zhongli took this opportunity, quickly opened the door that opened a small gap and was not completely closed, rolled out, and then closed the door with internal force, not caring about rest, Several hundred spells were urged to raise the protection in unison, and they were neatly pasted on the door.

The door swayed, and the monsters in the door were restrained and couldn't come out for a while. Shang Zhongli took this opportunity to hug Chu Rui and fell down from the window. He turned his back down and held Chu Rui in his arms. The pressure caused his back to hit the ground hard.

Chu Rui heard the painful whimpering above her head, and quickly got up to help Shang Zhongli: "Are you okay?"

Shang Zhongli shook his head, the furrowed brow, the blood on his lips and his pale face all showed that his condition was not good.But he didn't yell out. He looked Chu Rui up and down nervously. After confirming that Chu Rui was not injured, his eyes suddenly changed, and he looked at the closed door of the West Building, his eyes were full of sternness.He stretched out his sleeves, mobilized the precarious internal force again, and hit several spells on the door of the west building.

After finishing this series of actions, Shang Zhongli was exhausted, rolled his eyes, and passed out. Chu Rui frowned, put aside his concerns for the time being, and carried Shang Zhongli up with his thin body and quickly walked towards the master. Walking to the house, when approaching the living room and a certain distance from the west building, he shouted with all his strength while walking: "Xu Yao, Dai Xianhuai!"

Cultivators' five senses are different from ordinary people, almost instantly, Chu Rui heard their footsteps, and then he was relieved, and moved Shang Zhongli to the sofa with great effort.

Xu Yao asked in surprise: "What's going on?" In his opinion, Shang Zhongli is extremely talented, and he is already regarded as the best among his peers. I am afraid that no one will be able to compete with him after 30 or [-] years of online extension. , How could he be so seriously injured.

Dai Xianhuai tested Shang Zhongli's breath, then tapped his Xinshu and Tanzhong acupoints, and then gave Shang Zhongli some medicine, and his life was safe for the time being.

"Such a serious internal injury, what did you do?"

Chu Rui succinctly told the two of them the ins and outs of the matter, and observed Shang Zhongli's situation while talking. Sweat on his head.

After finishing speaking, Chu Rui saw the complicated expressions of the two people opposite, and they were both inexpressibly surprised.

A 400-year-old monster is always around, and the two of them, who are over 200 years old together, don't feel it at all, and think it's just a living soul.

Dai Xianhuai: "No wonder, no wonder Hongmen insisted on separating from Daomen to establish their own sect many years ago. In the beginning, the story about the illusion was also spread from Hongmen. There is another secret."

Chu Rui: "The situation is critical now. With the two of you here, I guess Shang Jili will not dare to come in rashly for the time being. The spell at the door alone is enough to give him a headache for a while."

Xu Yao looked at each other, and immediately decided to set up an air wall in the garden, so that Shang Jili would never be able to enter.

After the air wall was set up, Chu Rui's frowning finally relaxed.

Xu Yao looked at Shang Zhongli who was unconscious on the sofa, thought of something, and said, "Do you know the origin of Shang's surname?"

Dai Xianhuai shook his head to express his ignorance, but Chu Rui faintly sensed something: "You mean, the descendants of King Wen of Zhou with the surname Ji."

"Yes, wait, I'll find some information!" Xu Yao went upstairs and took a notebook down, and Chu Rui remembered that Xu Nuo 99 on the dark web forum is a computer expert!

Xu Yao turned on the computer and searched for useful information, while Dai Xianhuai told Chu Rui another thing: "Just received the news that the chaos bugs have already started attacking humans!"

Chu Rui: "So fast!" He expected it, but he didn't expect it to come so fast.

"I can't find the Chaos Worms with Chaos Worms hidden in their bodies. They start attacking humans without food. We guess that although human beings don't have Chaos Worms that condense their desires in their bodies, human beings have more or less desires. They were hungry, so they started attacking indiscriminately."

"They have such a big appetite?" Chu Rui exclaimed.

"Found it!" Xu Yao called.Chu Rui and Dai Xian surrounded him.

On the computer is a set of restoration pictures of cultural relics on the computer of a certain collection that Xu Yaohei entered.

"Look here! This general's sword."

In the picture, Huang Puying's handsome man is holding a special long sword, which can be vaguely seen as "Suo".Most importantly, Chu Rui held her breath. This man's face was somewhat similar to Shang Zhongli's.

Xu Yao: "I found this according to the picture of 'Suo'. This is Shang Ting, the minister of the early Yuan Dynasty, moving forward." Xu Yao quickly moved the mouse, and another person popped up on the screen. In this picture, the person in the painting can also see the accessories on the waist, and the word "Suoyue" is exposed on the hilt of the sword. Shang Ze, a native of Lu State in the late Spring and Autumn Period. "

It was obviously just a restored portrait, but Chu Rui felt strangely similar to Shang Zhongli, even more similar than Shang Ting just now.

Xu Yao then clicked the mouse to move back a few pictures, as if returning, and then a clearer black-and-white photo: "Shang Shao, a senior general of the People's Army in 1965. This picture was taken in the back garden of his home , a group photo with a glimpse, he also has 'Shuo' on his waist." This picture is even less like Shang Zhongli, and the outline between the brows can only be seen faintly, but according to the picture Xu Yao showed them, it is The longer it is, the more it looks like Shang Zhongli.

"Are these people Shang Zhongli's ancestors?" Dai Xianhuai responded immediately.

Xu Yao: "I guess so. They are somewhat similar to Shang Zhongli, and they all have 'Suo'. The scariest one is this one. Look here."

Following the direction that Xu Yao pointed, in the black and white photo taken in 1965, behind Shang Shao, under the willow tree on the opposite side of the rocky lake, stood a face they were all too familiar with, watching quietly through this black and white photo. watching them.

"Shang Jili." Dai Xianhuai and Chu Rui said in unison.
