Chapter 465: Old Ghosts in Supernatural Stories (17)
Zhou Yu scratched his ear sheepishly and said, "Grandma, I...just tell me.
Where on earth did you get this safety lock? ! "
Zhou Yu looked at Grandma Zhou with curiosity. Seeing this, Grandma Zhou sighed silently and said helplessly: "You...why do you have to know?!"
"Must I?!" Zhou Yu frowned and asked in confusion: "Grandma, what do you mean?!
What do I have to know?!
Grandma, are you hiding something from me?!"
There was a hint of tentativeness in Zhou Yu's last sentence.
"I...I..." Grandma Zhou hesitated, "Xiao Yu, I don't know how to tell you."
Seeing his grandmother's worried look, Zhou Yu asked, "Grandma, what's going on?!"
"Ah!" Grandma Zhou sighed and explained, "Xiaoyu, the safety lock in your hand is... something passed down from our ancestors."
"Handed down?!" Zhou Yu was surprised: "If it was handed down from our ancestors, why did you only give it to me?!"
His eldest brother and second brother were also children of the Zhou family, why didn't their grandparents give the Ping An lock to them, but gave it to him instead? !
Grandma Zhou shook her head and said, “This…I’m not sure either.
Xiaoyu, you should also know that our ancestors made their fortune by robbing tombs.
During one of our tomb robberies, our ancestors saw the living owner of the tomb.”
"What?! The tomb... the tomb owner?!" Zhou Yu's pupils shrank instantly when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "How... how is this possible?!
A living...tomb...tomb owner? !
So... is he alive or dead? ! "
Grandma Zhou shook her head and said, "I don't know either.
Anyway, the tomb owner left this safety lock and wants to give it to you."
"Grandma, then...how do I know that person is...mine?!" Zhou Yu's eyes were filled with confusion.
Who is the owner of the tomb?
How could I have expected that the safety lock would be handed over to me hundreds of years later? !
Then Jiang Zui showed up again? !
And what kind of connection is there between the tomb owner, Ping Ansuo, and Jiang Zui? !
What the hell does this happen? !
"The tomb owner gave all the gold, silver and jewelry in the tomb to the ancestor, and the ancestor agreed to the tomb owner's request.
The owner of the tomb said that he had a destiny with our Zhou family, so he gave the safety lock to the ancestor and asked him to pass it on to his youngest son.
Therefore, the peace lock has been in the hands of the youngest son of the Zhou family for generations.
And this generation naturally falls into your hands.
I originally thought that this peace lock was just a family heirloom, but when I heard you just now say that the peace lock has a strong negative energy, I knew that this matter would not be that simple.
Xiaoyu, you...did something happen to you? ! "
Zhou Yu thought for a long time, nodded with difficulty and said, "Yes."
Then, Zhou Yu told Grandma Zhou everything about himself and Jiang Zui.
After hearing this, Grandma Zhou looked embarrassed and said worriedly: "Xiao Yu, you...what are you thinking?! Are you really involved with the ghost named Jiang Zui?!"
"Grandma, I..." Zhou Yu was about to explain after seeing the dissatisfaction on Grandma Zhou's face, but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he swallowed them back.
Zhou Yu didn't dare to look into Grandma Zhou's eyes. He lowered his head and whispered, "Well, I...I like him."
"You!" Grandma Zhou looked helpless and said, "Hey, you... you Xiaoyu, do you know the difference between him and you?!"
"I know." Zhou Yu nodded obediently.
"Then you still..."
Before Grandma Zhou could finish her words, Zhou Yu interrupted her hastily, "Grandma, I...I don't know either. I...anyway, I...I love him!"
Grandma Zhou glanced at the safety lock on Zhou Yu's neck and said, "Maybe... you and him... were destined to be like this."
"Grandma doesn't care about this matter!
You can handle it however you want, as long as you don’t regret the result. "
Zhou Yu smiled instantly and thanked: "Thank you, grandma."
"Then grandma...how much do you know about the safety lock?
Who was the tomb owner that our ancestor met?"
"I don't know." Grandma Zhou explained calmly: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Zhou Yu said disappointedly.
He didn't get any useful information from Grandma Zhou, and felt a little frustrated, but he didn't force it.
Zhou Yu and Grandma Zhou chatted and laughed until the evening.
In the evening, Zhou Ji hurried over from the company.
Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Ji and greeted him, "Brother, you're back!"
"Yeah." Zhou Ji raised his lips and said, "You didn't even tell me you were back so I could pick you up."
"No need. After all, my brother is so busy at work, and I'm not a child." Zhou Yu retorted with a smile.
After the three of them had dinner together, Zhou Yu saw that Zhou Ji looked pale and sick, and he couldn't help but worry, so he asked, "Brother, are you...sick?
Why do you look so bad? ! "
Zhou Ji frowned, looking helpless and confused, "I don't know either. Recently, I have been feeling very tired for some reason. At first, I thought I was sick, so I went to the hospital for a check-up, but nothing was found.
Later I thought it was because I was tired from working long hours, but I reduced my working hours, and yet my body became weaker and weaker day by day. "
After hearing what Zhou Ji said, a bold guess suddenly emerged in Zhou Yu's mind, and he stammered: "Brother...brother, have you...did you get into trouble with some dirty things?!"
"What?!" Zhou Ji was at a loss, but then he quickly regained his composure. He pretended to be calm and touched Zhou Yu's forehead, and said earnestly: "Little brother, you...what are you talking about? You don't have a fever, do you?
How could you have such an idea?!"
Zhou Yu sighed, Zhou Ji took his hand away, and complained: “Brother, I’m not talking nonsense, I’m telling the truth.
You...are most likely to have gotten into some dirty business."
Zhou Ji burst into laughter, "Little brother, you are an archaeology student, you... you actually believe this?!
Hahaha, brother, I advise you to discard the feudal dregs, those things are all fake.
Don’t be fooled.”
Zhou Ji thought Zhou Yu was joking with him.
However, Zhou Yu took out the safety lock from his neck seriously and told Zhou Ji about the safety lock and Jiang Zui.
After hearing this, Zhou Ji was completely stunned.
Zhou Ji's pupils were filled with confusion, and he said in disbelief: "You! Little brother...is this true?!
Don't...don't you lie to me?!"
"How could I lie to you!" Zhou Yu subconsciously retorted: "Brother, I'm telling the truth.
Grandma can vouch for me."
Zhou Ji opened his eyes wide and asked, "So you...did you really see a ghost?! And you went to the ghost world?!
What does that ghost look like?!
Is it scary?! "
Zhou Ji kept asking questions, causing Zhou Yu to be stunned for a moment.
He...his elder brother...is like this? !
As the eldest brother, Zhou Ji has always been prudent and reliable in his work.
It was the first time he had seen his elder brother being so curious.
For a moment, Zhou Yu was stunned.
Zhou Ji saw the surprised expression on Zhou Yu's face, and his ears turned red. He coughed and said, "Little brother, did you really see it?!"
To be honest, he has never believed in such ghost stories, but his younger brother and even his grandmother believe in them, and his younger brother talks about them so mysteriously. His heart feels like it's been tickled by a kitten, and he feels itchy. He really wants to know whether this is true or not.
"Yeah." Zhou Yu said seriously: "I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?!"
Then he said: "So, brother, the strangeness of you..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Ji spoke first: "Jiang Zui is not here now, how are you going to solve it?"
"I...who said that only Jiang Zui can handle it?!" Zhou Yu said arrogantly.
Hearing this, Zhou Ji was stunned, "If it's not Jiang Zui, who else can help me?!"
"Of course it's Taoist Master Mao."
"Master Mao?!" Zhou Ji said with a frown.
Zhou Yu: "That's right, Taoist Master Mao can enter and exit the ghost world freely, and he was able to see the abnormality of Ji Jin when he was a child, so I would like to ask Taoist Master Mao to come and take a look for you."
"Sure." Zhou Ji said indifferently.
Zhou Yu got the agreement from Zhou Ji and was immediately delighted. He said, "Okay, I'll call Taoist Master Mao right now."
As he spoke, Zhou Yu called Taoist Master Mao, "Hello, Taoist Master Mao, my elder brother seems to have gotten into trouble with something dirty. Can you come and take a look at my elder brother?"
Mao Qingye answered the call as soon as she saw it was Zhou Yu's. After listening to Zhou Yu's words, she smiled and said, "Okay."
After a pause, he continued, "However, I have accepted a job now and it will take a week before I can go to Binxi."
"Okay, we can wait. Thank you for your help, Taoist Priest."
"No trouble."
Then, Zhou Yu asked with a voice full of expectation: "Master, is there any news about Jiang Zui?"
Mao Qingye apologized, "I'm sorry, I...I haven't heard from Jiang Zui yet.
I have asked the ghosts in the ghost world, and Jiang Zui does not seem to appear in the ghost world.
As for the other party's whereabouts, I have no idea.
However, I heard that recently a ghost with great spiritual power was reincarnated.
As soon as this ghost was reincarnated, all the ghosts in the ghost world were very excited.
so..."
Mao Qingye didn't say the following words, but the deep meaning behind them...
Zhou Yu already understood.
Zhou Yu said disappointedly: "Thank you for telling me, Taoist Priest. I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ji saw Zhou Yu looking distraught, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Little brother, you...what's wrong with you!?"
Zhou Yu nodded calmly and replied, "It's okay, brother.
It’s getting late, I’m going back to my room to rest.”
Then, he forced a smile and said, "I have already told Taoist Master Mao. He will probably be here in a week."
After saying that, Zhou Yu turned around and went straight upstairs.
