Saying that she didn't want to hear it or not, Xiuxiu followed him all the way into the lobby, where Huo Xiangu was sitting on an ebony chair, with fair skin and white hair, after so many years, she still had that unearthly arrogance .Xiuxiu bouncing over to stand beside grandma.Huo Xiangu looked at Xie Yuhua, nodded slightly to signal him to sit down, and first said hello: "Master Xie, see you for a long time."

Xie Yuhua picked Zhang Shunyan's chair and sat down. He was used to the leather sofa, but the wooden grand master chair was a bit uncomfortable, so he changed into a slightly more comfortable position and said with a smile, "Senior Huo, you still call me Xie Zi." Well, isn't that what it was called before?"

Facing Huo Xiangu, Xie Yuhua was very cautious.Because in terms of seniority, he is a junior, so he can't lose his manners; in terms of status, he is the head of the family, and cannot lower his status in front of the Huo family; moreover, since we haven't seen each other for so long, he doesn't know what Huo Xiangu sells in the gourd. what medicine.Speaking of which, the relationship between Huo's family and Xie's family is so strange. Apart from the competition in business, there is also a very oolong thing.Legend has it that one of Huo Xiangu's sisters, one of Xiuxiu's seven aunts and eight aunts, once showed love to Er Yuehong crazily, even to the point of taking off her clothes and throwing herself into her arms. Unfortunately, Er Yuehong already had Naturally, she rejected the girl coldly.This is a great shame for any woman, not to mention that the women of the Huo family have always regarded themselves very highly, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps. How could she bear this kind of setback, and then she went crazy.Because of this, many members of the Huo family hated Er Yuehong, and even Xie Yuhua, who later learned opera, and even the entire Xie family were displeased.In fact, when that incident happened, Xie Yuhua's father probably had just been able to walk... But because of this incident, Xie Yuhua always had feelings for the women of the Huo family, so when he faced Huo Xiangu, it was really embarrassing. Had to step by step.

Huo Xiangu burst out laughing, it's not easy for an old woman to laugh like a girl without making people creepy: "What old man? Do you think I'm Miejue Shitai in martial arts novels?—— Xie Zi, I haven’t seen you for so many years. You have grown up and started to imitate their suits. This is not good. I still like you when I was young. You are cute and sweet. It's grandma, grandma, who keeps barking."

Seeing Huo Xiangu's smile, Xie Yuhua was naturally a little relieved, as long as she remained friendly on the surface, there was room for negotiation.So he also said with a smile: "Is it different now? Even Xiuxiu has grown up so much. How can I be as small as I was when I was a child. Grandma Huo, your body is still strong?"

Huo Xiangu took a puff of the tobacco stick in her hand, and the blue smoke was lingering: "...It's not like that, I guess it won't last for a few years, I'm going to catch up with Master Jiu."

Xie Yuhua saw that Huo Xiangu began to deliberately lead the topic to that side, so she followed the trend: "Where is this? You are still in good health, and you will not lose the heroic demeanor of the female middle school at all."

Mrs. Huo sighed with a smile: "Women, who wants to fight for this? In the end, you want to get married and have children, and be a yellow-faced woman for a lifetime... As long as you can die cleanly and clearly, you will die for the rest of your life." Nothing to worry about."

"Grandma..." Xiuxiu pushed Huo Xiangu from behind, pouted dissatisfiedly, "What are you talking about..."

Huo Xiangu looked at Xie Yuhua, and said: "Some things have been entangled for a lifetime, and they can never be brought into the coffin. Xiezi, I watched you grow up, and you have also seen the rise and fall of the old nine schools. Now Only the Xie family and the Huo family are left on the table, and the Wu family in Hangzhou has always been a master who doesn't care about anything. If you don't help this matter, I'm afraid it will be a knot in my heart for more than ten years. It must not be untied.”

Xie Yuhua waited for her words, but she didn't expect Huo Xiangu to say it so calmly, it seemed that the time had come when she had no choice but to speak.

"Grandma Huo, tell me, as long as I can do it." He leaned slightly closer and smiled.

Huo Xiangu signaled to Xiuxiu, who then took out a mahogany box from the back room, opened it for Xie Yuhua to see, and there were rolls of video tapes inside.

Xie Yuhua was stunned: "This is..."

Huo Xiangu said: "Since three or four years ago, people have sent such tapes every year. I tried many methods, but I couldn't find the source of these video tapes."

"What's in there?"

Huo Xiangu's complexion was slightly pale, and she said word by word: "The content inside is beyond your imagination. It is hell, the hell of the old nine gates."

When Huo Xiangu said this, Xiuxiu who was standing behind also trembled slightly.Xie Yuhua noticed it, and was surprised. Could it be that Xiuxiu has also seen it?But Huo Xiangu is still alive, and at Xiuxiu's age, even if she is the appointed successor, she will never let her get in touch with the past of the Nine Schools so early... unless...

Xie Yuhua had a bad premonition in her heart.

Huo Xiangu leaned on the armrest of the chair: "At first, I thought these things were like a nightmare in my life. Who knows that the disaster is still going on. I'm afraid that even if I die, I won't be able to escape this doom."

"Grandma Huo, don't panic yourself. What's in the tape? What does it have to do with the Huo family? Does it have something to do with the Xie family? Since you asked me to come over, you must tell me something." Xie Yuhua His face is serious.

Huo Xiangu weakly shook her hand: "The stuff in this belt is my nightmare. It has nothing to do with the Xie family, at least it has nothing to do with the current Xie family. What I want to ask you is another matter, I wonder if you can help I."

Xiuxiu took out a few more sheets of paper, Xie Yuhua glanced at them, and her heart skipped a beat.The pattern on this paper seems to be made by the same person as the ones I received, maybe it is the rest of the drawing.

"A long, long time ago, Jiumen had a cooperation with Lama. These things were obtained in that operation, but only part of them." Huo Xiangu said, "You probably feel familiar, because these things were originally carved on the stone wall. , It was copied by your grandfather Xie Jiu stroke by stroke."

Xie Yuhua suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

He said why when he received those blueprints, he felt familiar and kind. Looking back carefully, he had indeed seen those neat drawing strokes on his grandfather's drawing paper when he was a child.Xie Jiuye studied in Japan in his early years and learned fine brushwork. Only he can draw such delicate and complicated things with perfect accuracy.

But grandpa died a long time ago, who used his brushwork to draw these drawings for himself?Or are these drawings drawn by Mr. Xie Jiu in the past, only a small part was kept by Huo Xiangu, and the rest were lost?If it was the collective action of the old nine gates, those who could get the blueprints must be the people within the nine gates.Since he got most of the blueprints, why didn't he simply take away the rest from Huo Xiangu's place... No, why did he give himself the treasures that had been preserved for many years?

Xie Yuhua's mind was in chaos, and she couldn't figure it out for the time being.After thinking about it, I couldn't think of when I would attract such a big hand.The Xie family is different now. It has long since lost the prestige of Master Jiu. What is there to win over?Unless he felt that keeping these things in Xie's house would be safer than keeping them by his side.

Xie Yuhua shuddered.This person must have a great relationship with the Xie family.As the head of the family, I don't know anything about this past?

Seeing that Xie Yuhua was staring at those things in a daze, Huo Xiangu just didn't know the little Jiujiu in his heart, so she continued: "That time when the lama was caught, Jiumen's vitality was seriously injured... In fact, before that, when the new China was established, the old Jiumen's The impact is already great...there are only these things left, how many times I want to burn them, but these patterns are very evil, you will unconsciously fall into the fascination when you look at them, because the above The design and mechanism skills are really rare in the world, and anyone in our line of work, as long as they have a little common sense, will be amazed by it."

Xie Yuhua simply pretended to be confused: "Then you showed it to me because..."

"Master Jiu, although you missed the catastrophe, you are now the only head of the Xie family. The grievances and grievances of the old Jiu family are always related to you. I am afraid that the days of peace will not last for a few days." Yes." Huo Xiangu sneered, "You have to know how heavy your burden is and what a complicated situation you are facing. Now that I have received these tapes, it proves that the incident back then is not over. Instead of waiting for disaster to strike , it’s better to strike first. I want to put an end to this old thing, while I still have breath and my head is still clear. After all, I am the only one left in this world among the people who fought back then. The trouble we caused , it’s only in this generation, don’t let disaster befall you baby dolls again, I can’t bear it..."

As Huo Xiangu said, she gently squeezed Xiuxiu's hand, her eyes were rather reluctant.

Huo Xiuxiu's eyes were red, she seemed to understand what grandma said but didn't quite understand it.

Xie Yuhua took a deep breath: "So, you are thinking of finding this place on the blueprint, so that you can solve the mystery of what happened back then?"

Huo Xiangu nodded: "This is just a guess. Maybe there is nothing there, maybe there is no return, but this is our only clue...Sometimes people are really very small compared to destiny."

Xie Yuhua was silent.Huo Xiangu's decision was like an act of will, a blind man crossing the river.Although Xie's family is not as good as before, they can still survive here. If they rashly wade through the deep water decades ago, their life and death may be uncertain.Moreover, Huo Xiangu asked her for help, obviously because the Huo family alone could not complete this matter.But with the current meager strength of the Xie family, can they really replicate the feat of the old Nine Schools in their heyday?

Xie Yuhua forced herself to calm down and carefully analyze the pros and cons of the matter, but deep down in her heart, there was always a voice disturbing his thoughts, which was her own curiosity.The mystery that has been troubled for many years will finally be solved one day. Just for this point, Xie Yuhua can't help but eager to try.

He stood up and said seriously: "Master Huo, if you trust me, can you give me these blueprints, and I promise to find out the whole story. You know, I have always been responsible for data collection, intelligence analysis and other tasks. expertise."

Huo Xiangu looked at Xie Yuhua's face, and Xiuxiu watched anxiously. After a long time, Huo Xiangu finally nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take this bet. Xiezi, don't let me down, don't let me down, don't let me down, don't let me down, don't let me down, don't let me down, don't let me down, don't let me down!" Let me explain your family and embarrass Master Jiu."

Xie Yuhua carefully packed the blueprints into a big envelope, and said, "Don't worry, Beijing is so big, I can't escape."

Huo Xiangu closed her eyes and waved her hands, as if she was tired: "Xiuxiu, see off the guests."
