Chapter 1062 The Weird Xu Family

All along the way, Xu Nian followed me very quietly. I looked at Xu Nian and saw that he looked listless, so I asked, "Are you tired?"

Xu Nian was just an ordinary 16-year-old child. It was normal for him to be tired after walking with us for more than an hour.

But at this moment, when he heard what I said, he shook his head and said, "No." "Then

what's wrong?" I looked at him and asked.

"I don't know, I just feel that I have to separate from you, and suddenly I feel a little...sad." After saying that, Xu Nian also cracked his mouth and forced a smile at me.

But that smile, no matter how you look at it, makes people feel that it is very forced.

After hearing what Xu Nian said, I was stunned, then smiled and touched his head, and said: "All good things must come to an end, and it's not like we won't see each other again. I will come to see you often in the future."

Hearing this, Xu Nian didn't say anything else, but just lowered his head and followed me gloomily. The

Xu family compound is located at the end of our village. The huge house stands there alone.

In the past, everyone in the village envied the Xu family. Not only did they have a large population, but the house they lived in was several times larger than ours, and much more luxurious.

But now, this Xu family mansion that I once envied, in my eyes, seems like a... tomb. Not only is there no life at all, the atmosphere in the house gives people a very weird feeling.

It felt as if this was not a house where people lived at all, but had really become a solitary grave where countless people were buried.

"Why is the door of their house so red... like blood?" Xu Nian stood behind me, looking at the vermilion door of the Xu family, and said with some doubt.

After hearing his words, I also frowned.

It was indeed as Xu Nian said, the door of the Xu family was too gorgeous, and the red color was different from the normal red. It really looked like it was painted with blood.

And I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something else, but I suddenly smelled a smell of... blood.

"Is it really painted with blood?" I stretched out my hand and wanted to touch the door. However, just as my hand was about to touch the door, I heard a "creak" sound, and the vermilion door opened.

As the door opened, a familiar figure immediately came into my sight.

This person was none other than the second son of the Xu family and the current head of the Xu family, Xu Zhengchun.

"Second Uncle Xu?" I was startled and quickly withdrew my hand.

"I'm back." Xu Zhengchun nodded indifferently, then opened the door and said, "Come in."

I was shocked, thinking that Xu Zhengchun knew I would come?

So he was waiting for me at the door?

"Second Uncle Xu, you... knew I would come?" I asked doubtfully as I walked into the yard with Xu Nian.

In response, Xu Zhengchun just smiled and said, "I was just about to go out, and I just happened to meet you at the door."

"Is it really just a coincidence?" I was a little unconvinced. After all, the Xu family's Liu Yao Gua technique is quite powerful.

"Haha, actually I just read a hexagram, and the hexagram showed that there would be a distinguished guest today, so I waited at the gate early, but I didn't expect that the distinguished guest was you."

Xu Zhengchun smiled and said, "However, with your current status and cultivation, you are indeed worthy of the word distinguished guest."

"Second Uncle Xu, you are joking." I responded, then narrowed my eyes and looked at the Xu family's house.

Compared with before, the Xu family's house has not changed much now. The only change is... the yard is very deserted, and the lively scene before is gone.

Moreover, as I followed Xu Zhengchun into the house, the pungent smell of blood seemed to be a little stronger.

"Come in and sit down." Xu Zhengchun opened the door and led me to a study room. Xu Zhengchun seemed to be avoiding something on purpose. When he opened the door, he looked around and then closed it.

"Second Uncle Xu, are you the only one living in this house?" I suddenly asked.

"Haha, after the incident in our village, our Xu family also suffered heavy losses. The older generation was almost completely injured, and the remaining young people were either seriously injured and went to the town to recuperate, or some of them were too young and had no experience, so they also went to the town to settle down."

Xu Zhengchun poured me a cup of tea, and then continued: "However, there are still some people from the Xu family, but in the morning, they all went to the back mountain, so now I am the only one in the house."

"He is the only one? If so, what was he looking at just now?" I frowned, with a look of suspicion.

In fact, Xu Zhengchun gave people a very abnormal feeling, and the atmosphere in this house... also made me feel very strange.

Moreover, what were the Xu family doing in the back mountain so early in the morning?

Could it be that the ancient tomb in the back mountain...had some unusual movements again?

I expressed my doubts, but Xu Zhengchun shook his head: "After the last incident, we not only strengthened the formation in the ancient tomb, but also added several formations on the periphery. Moreover, we have the Zen staff that your master specially borrowed from Putuo Temple to suppress it. How could something go wrong again?"

"Then why did they go to the back mountain?" I asked again.

"The daily maintenance of the formation is over." Xu Zhengchun didn't seem to want to dwell on this topic with me. Instead, he picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "Qianyu, try it. This is the Pu'er tea that my grandfather has collected for many years."

I didn't say anything when I heard it, because my intuition told me that Xu Zhengchun seemed to be hiding something, and something must have happened to the Xu family now, or something happened to the ancient tomb in the back mountain.

"Who is this..." Seeing that I didn't say anything, Xu Zhengchun suddenly looked at Xu Nian and asked suspiciously.

"Second Uncle Xu, his name is Xu Nian." Next, I told Xu Zhengchun about Xu Nian's identity. After listening, Xu Zhengchun, who had always been calm and steady, was actually excited and stood up from his seat.

"You said, he is from another branch of my Xu family?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"Xu Nian, let me ask you, where is your branch now? Is the family still prosperous? Is the inheritance complete?" Xu Zhengchun looked at Xu Nian expectantly, but Xu Nian turned to look at me. When I nodded, he said, "There is no one left in our village."

"What!" Hearing this, Xu Zhengchun was immediately shocked, and then, as if all his strength was drained away, he sat down on the chair powerlessly.

"There are no living people in your village? Is the inheritance of my Xu family really going to be completely cut off in our generation?"

Xu Zhengchun looked distraught. Seeing this, I was about to say something, but at this moment,

I suddenly heard a muffled "dong". At the moment when the muffled sound rang out, I seemed to hear a roar like a beast!
