C134 (2/2)
Even though I still felt a lot of anger towards Xu Man, that shot just now had vented a lot of my anger.
However, the next words that I heard from Hua Zi caused me to fall into a state of confusion.
”Brother Zhou, although I don't know how this fellow offended you in the past, but since he helped Miao De wake up those children, do you think we can let him off temporarily?”
”What?” Did he help Miao revive the children? When did this happen? ”
When we woke up, Xu Man and Zhang Zikong had already left, but even if Xu Man came back before us, he still wouldn't last more than a day! How could Xu Man go back and forth between Wen Shan and Wen Shan in such a short period of time? Or could it be that he had only used some sort of method to save those children, and he himself had never left?
”The day after you left, there was a man and a woman who went with him to the Yang Mansion and found us. When that man went back to retrieve some family heirloom treasure, it was also him and that woman who guarded the entire mansion! ”Don't you know how much trouble that old mansion caused during those few nights …”
Hua Zi continued to narrate the story of how Dong Clan's Yang Mansion was haunted in the past few days. As for me, I deeply frowned.
Could it be that the person who was with us at sea isn't Xu Man? Someone else had changed into the disguise of Xu Man, who was lying to us? But who was that person? Why would he do that? Could it be that he wasn't afraid of Zhang Zikong falling out after discovering it? Or was he absolutely confident that he could control Zhang Zikong?
Control should be impossible. Even if he can get the Netherworld General to act, I do not think that he would dare to try to woo the tiger. Therefore, that person must have something in his hands that would definitely arouse Zhang Zikong's interest.
After Hua Zi's proof, this Xu Man is indeed not the same one who was with us before. To express our apologies, we started our journey to Yichuan in Ningxia.
Although I said that I was going to Yinchuan to play, I could vaguely smell the scent of a conspiracy. However, this matter was indeed our fault, so I didn't complain as I accompanied Xu Man on the journey.
After getting off the plane, under Xu Man's intense request, he, Dong Wan'er and I got into the same taxi. I knew that he had something to tell me, so I happily agreed.
As expected. Although the one who suggested playing in Yichuan was Dong Wan'er, but in reality, it was Xu Man's idea. As for Xu Man, he is the person who brought me the note from the old monk to receive me.
After they revealed their identities, I directly said, ”Although I agreed to accompany you out to play this time, I did not promise to go to that sinister place with me. If you are here to find someone's tomb for that Longevity Jue, then forgive me for not being able to accompany you!”
Hearing my words, Dong Wan'er immediately fell silent. However, Xu Man directly said, ”No, no, no. Although I came here to look for something, it definitely wasn't a tomb robber!”
After hearing this, I finally felt relieved. However, Xu Man's words made me feel a little baffled.
Xu Man had always been looking for the 'Eternal Rest', so why was it that this time he changed from his usual self? Could it be that he wanted to lure me to the depths of the world and then tell me the truth when I was unable to turn back?
Seeing my suspicious eyes, Xu Man laughed embarrassedly, ”Hahahaha, look at how you've thought about this! This time, we are definitely not going to find a tomb, but a tree! ”
”Tree?”
”Yes, a tree with great secrets!”
