Chapter 271
After a long time, this kind of mentality unknowingly turned into a compulsive habit. Even some details that flashed by later were really doubtful, and they would subconsciously skip them.
But human instinct is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. So the siblings gradually secured the Zhang family's right to speak, and expanded their connections with each family, so that Zhang Zhengchu would not be disturbed by major or minor matters.
In the end, he still couldn't escape.
What Zhang Zhengchu used for them was a very simple puppetry. It's not a great skill, but it's better than leaving no traces. It can be buried when people's defenses are low, and it is often related to a certain action, a certain sentence or a certain memory.
The utility of the things buried in this way is actually not obvious, and it can only affect ordinary people with uncertain minds. So the more powerful people are, the less they will take these things seriously.
But if you bury it many times from childhood to adulthood... that will be another result.
In fact, Zhang Lan also knew that she had been tampered with without saying anything, just when she coughed and vomited blood.
She just had one remaining thought, thinking about what might happen. After all, they are grandparents, after all, they lost their parents when they were young, and Zhang Zhengchu watched them grow up.
"... Yalin may be more influenced than me." Zhang Lan said, "After all, he is the next head of the family, and sometimes he must go to the back room, and he will go."
She paused for a moment, then remembered and said, "He went there once before coming to Tianjin."
I stayed in Zhang Zhengchu's house for a long time.
She also wanted to say to Wen Shi and Xie Wen, "Don't blame him", but she swallowed the words before she could speak. Because she found that she had neither the qualifications nor the position to say this.
Zhang Zhengchu was her grandfather, she and Zhang Yalin were the ones who saw that he was neither human nor ghost, and it was she and Zhang Yalin who intervened to cause him to run away.
Among the people present in the Zhang family, she is the only one who can call the shots. She was silent for a moment, then said with a pale face, "Ya Lin and I were self-righteous and neglected first, no matter what, the Zhang family will give an explanation. I will first apologize for my grandpa... for him."
"Don't be in a hurry to replace." Xie Wen's tone was very light, and he couldn't hear any anxiety that made people run away, "You may not be able to replace."
Zhang Lan looked up in surprise, not understanding what he meant.
Xie Wen didn't give her any further explanations, but turned his head to look at Zhou Xu, and said to Zhang Lan: "Your house may have to open the door to welcome guests."
Even at this time, his tone of speech was polite, with an irresistible coercion.
Zhang Lan was stunned.
Until she saw Zhou Xu nodded in response, and put a handful of stones into her palm. Only then did they understand what the other party meant.
She hurriedly said: "My family can't open the front door."
Zhou Xu turned to look at her.
These words were too much like defending and refuting, Zhang Lan quickly added another sentence: "Really, the location of our house was carefully selected by the ancestors, and it occupies an excellent location. It is a natural place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack in terms of Feng Shui. Moreover, the ancestors of the past generations have buried the battle for our family, so it is inevitable that someday there will be troubles and the house will suffer. Therefore, the gate of the battle cannot be opened at home. Zhou Xu must know this—"
As she said that, she turned her head and glanced at the large army of about a hundred people: "This is really not a lie, every family knows this, otherwise why would they choose to take the lane when going to their home?"
Zhou Xu nodded, but still bent down to put the formation stone on the ground.
When he put it down, his left hand subconsciously pressed the cuff of his right hand, as if he was wearing some kind of long gown with wide sleeves.
Dadong originally followed him step by step, but when he saw him calmly and steadily placing the formation stones with his sleeves rolled up, as proficiently as if he had placed them a million times, his expression changed on the spot.
"Zhou, Zhou Xu?" He called out like a mosquito.
When the voice fell, the twelve formation stones were placed. Zhou Xu straightened up and nodded politely at Zhang Lansi: "Excuse me."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his right hand, and patted the void above the formation stone——
In an instant, a strong wind rose from the ground! A huge vortex formed horizontally at the place he photographed.
Thick black pumped out from the center of the vortex, and in the blink of an eye, it became a bottomless gate. No one can see where the formation door leads to, but they can hear the crackling sound from the depths of the vortex.
The repeated ringing made Zhang Lan pale and dumbstruck.
Even more bloodless is Dadong.
He opened his mouth wide and looked at the turbulent gate, then turned his head to look at Zhou Xu, and asked tremblingly for a long time before asking, "Bu, Patriarch Bu Ning?"
Zhou Xu nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
He gestured at Xie Wen and Wen Shi again, and said, "Master and junior brother, I'm advanced."
After speaking, he lifted his foot and walked into the gate.
Dadong yelled "Wori", he was in a dilemma, and plunged into it.
The gust of wind blowing from the gate made people's temples messy, and also made more than a hundred people behind them stagger and turn their backs. When I heard it, I squinted at them in the wind, and suddenly felt that the fingers hanging by my side were being held by someone.
"gone."
Xie Wen led him, bowed his head and entered the gate.
Xia Qiao and Lao Mao followed closely behind. When entering the gate, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but worry: "What if the old man doesn't go back to his home?"
Wen Shi: "He was supported there, and if he doesn't go back there, does he want to die?"
