Humans have Three Souls and Seven Spirits, ghosts have Nine Netherworld Obsessions and Five Aggregates of Fire. But from the time I was born, I was missing an Earth Soul.
From a young age, I ...
I felt really sorry for the ants when I saw them like that.
After all, this wasn't the first time Lao Dao had encountered a similar situation with Sichuan Opera, and he was already immune to it.
But ants are different. I really didn't expect that little punk girl would look almost like an ant.
I finally understand why the three of them are such a perfect match for us; they were practically tailor-made for us.
As for ants, the two of them look quite similar.
As for Ji Xinglan, everything about her is very similar to mine.
This includes the absence of a soul, altered memories, and a history of deception.
I suddenly realized, this is the female version of me!
"By the way, Brother Chen, you didn't get anything stolen from you, did you? What about your lightning sword?"
At this moment, Lao Dao suddenly asked.
I took the lightning sword in my hand, twirled it around, and placed it in front of him.
"The Thunder Strike Sword is perfectly fine, isn't it? Don't worry, all my valuables are here, there's no way it could be stolen!"
I found it a bit funny; how did this make Ji Xinglan sound like a gold digger?
I don't know if Ji Xinglan took anything from me, but I did take quite a few things from him.
"This booklet is with me! Look, it originally said 'Lin Family Compound,' but now it says 'He Family Compound'!"
I took this booklet out and placed it in front of Old Knife and Ant.
When Lao Dao and Ant opened it, sure enough, the contents looked just like a map.
It provides a detailed introduction to all the items in the He Family Compound.
It includes very detailed descriptions of each courtyard and each room.
I got a chill down my spine when I saw this; it's really terrifying.
"Damn it! Brother Chen, if you hadn't reminded me, how would we have ended up at the He family's house?"
Old Knife suddenly screamed.
I was speechless. I didn't expect that this kid hadn't noticed it at first.
"There's nothing strange about it; the two families have always had a deep connection!"
"And I had a feeling we'd definitely come back here, after all, Old Luo showed up!"
I shook my head and comforted Lao Dao and Ant, telling them that coming to the He family was inevitable.
It was now dark and the gates of the He family's house were already closed. I looked around and noticed that this house was slightly different from the one I had seen before.
It was much cleaner and tidier than when I last saw it. Most importantly, the decorations outside the gate were quite imposing, consisting of two stone lions.
It seems that the He family is still the same family that has not fallen into decline, and its members are still numerous and prosperous.
I gave Old Knife a wink, and Old Knife gave Ant a wink in return. Ant scurried over and started knocking on the door.
About 10 seconds later, a noisy commotion came from inside the courtyard.
The door opened quickly, and a man who looked like a butler appeared. He was dressed quite simply, but he was quite fat.
But what surprised me was that at this moment, the man had a white cloth on his forehead.
That's when I noticed that there were white stripes on both sides of the gate.
My heart skipped a beat.
Is this a funeral?
I had a bad feeling.
"You must be our young master's friends, right? Come in quickly, our young master died a terrible death!"
Just then, the man spoke, and tears streamed down his face as soon as he began to speak.
My premonition seems to have come true!
The young master the man was referring to must be none other than Luo Tianhe.
I don't even know what to say. On the Lin family's side, Luo Tianhe and Miss Lin had just gotten married, but on the He family's side, Luo Tianhe died.
What exactly happened?
You know us?
I stared at the man and asked him questions very carefully.
The man also smiled, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Of course I know that, and I've even met a few of them. You're all our young master's best friends. You must be Old Chen, right? I mean, that's what he calls you!"
The man spoke slowly, and immediately got to the key information.
"That's right, I am Old Chen!"
Seeing how detailed the other person's knowledge was, I nodded vigorously and readily admitted it.
"So you're the Ah Dao he was talking about, and as for you, I think your name is something like Ant!"
The man continued to look at Old Knife and Ant, revealing their identities one by one.
Anyway, Lao Dao couldn't hold back when he heard the name A Dao.
This is the nickname Luo Tianhe often uses for him.
"Then that's it! Everyone, hurry up and come inside with me, or you'll miss your chance!"
The man gestured for him to enter.
Old Dao and I exchanged a glance and quickly stepped forward.
The ants followed closely behind us. I looked at the man and casually asked him what his name was.
The man calmly replied that his name was He Da and that he was the housekeeper of the household.
What is the significance of this?
I shuddered again when I heard that name.
Good heavens, the Lin family's butler is named Lin Da, and the He family's butler is named He Da.
If this is just a coincidence, I absolutely refuse to believe it.
He Da led us ahead. I had walked this road several times before with Lao Dao, including the last time He Feilong brought us here.
Apart from the fact that the road is newer than before, there is no difference, and white cloth strips are also pasted on both sides of the road.
"Our young master really died with his eyes wide open in anger. He even told us before that you three good friends would come to see him!"
At the time, we didn't believe it! It wasn't until three days after our young master died, when our master received a message from him in a dream, that we believed what our young master had said was true!
On the way, He Da, like a chatterbox, tremblingly told us a lot about Luo Tianhe.
I was even more shocked when I heard this time.
Because this timing was exactly the same as the day Luo Tianhe got married.
In other words, Luo Tianhe's marriage and death occurred at the same time.
"Alright, please accept my condolences."
All I could do was pat He Da on the shoulder and say my condolences.
I could tell that He Da also had deep feelings for Luo Tianhe; he even squeezed out two tears while speaking.
Soon, He Da led us to the main hall.
I am very familiar with this place. When I first visited the He family, this was the He family ancestral hall.
I also obtained several small wooden figures from here, and it was because of these small wooden figures that I obtained the Seven Demon Kings later on.
"Master! The young master's friend has arrived!"
He Da walked forward and said loudly to the person spending the money.
In the very center stood a middle-aged man with white hair. Upon hearing this, he quickly walked up to me.
I took a closer look, and this man does bear a resemblance to Luo Tianhe.
In other words, this man is very likely Luo Tianhe's father.
