Chapter 4: The Secret Passage
Xiahou Tao didn't understand what happened to his nephew, but he thought of all kinds of bizarre things that happened to him, thought about it for a while, and decided to let his nephew go to the secret road with his eldest brother.
If he was really possessed by demons, then Xiahou Yulong was also extremely weak at this moment, and he was still a child.
Xiahou Tao knew that when the demon was possessed, his strength would definitely be extremely weak, and he still needed time to run in his body.
However, both of them looked at Xiahou Yulong with scrutinizing eyes.
Also, you said that a thirteen-year-old child woke up after encountering such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation coma, and saw the terrifying black gas erupted by the second uncle in the Heavenly Tribulation.
Such a change, when I woke up, I was in a daze, I didn't even think about the catastrophe and the black thing, and when I saw my father asking, he showed an extremely moved look.
Listening to his father's concern, thinking of the catastrophe, not showing fear, thinking of the second uncle who broke out with terrifying black gas, he didn't even tremble his body.
I don't even tell myself that I'm afraid or anything, and I don't ask why I'm here.
Instead, he comforted the two calmly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked if there was a secret passage at home.
In that family, parents will definitely think that their son is crazy, whether he is demonized.
Xiahou Zhang was even more anxious, and was about to speak, but Xiahou Tao had already noticed the anxiety of the eldest brother, knew what the eldest brother was worried about, and also figured out the joint, and immediately stopped the eldest brother, "Big brother ......"
Xia Houtao slowly shook his head at his eldest brother.
Xiahou Zhang was puzzled, but he was anxious in his heart, looking at his son with a thoughtful expression, thinking about the possibility of his son being possessed by demons.
Xiahou Tao is worthy of a generation of wise men, he has already figured out the impossibility of Xiahou Yulong being possessed by demons, and believes that his nephew must have had another accident.
Xiahou Tao thinks like this, but there are completely correct reasons and inferences.
With the cunning of the Demon Puff, he was able to lurk in Xiahou's house for so long without being detected at all.
And he is insidiously possessed by Xiahou Tao, but he has been accompanying Xiahou Yulong at Xiahou's house for more than ten years.
A thirteen-year-old child, and a demon who watched him grow up, doesn't he know how this child should behave and hide his identity in front of his father and second uncle at this time, so that they don't suspect it?!
The demon puff can be hidden for more than ten years, and Xiahou Zhang is not aware of it at all, this cautiousness, if it is possessed by Xiahou Yulong, it is impossible to expose any flaws.
And who is the magic puff, that is an old fox who has played conspiracy and played for countless years, if he possesses Xiahou Yulong, he will not act rashly without knowing the situation, he will not pretend to be unconscious?!
He won't wait until he is fully familiar with the situation before waking up?!
This is also interpreted from Xiahou Tao's point of view, if the demon is possessed, there will be no flaws leaking.
But Xiahou Yulong behaved like this, which also made Xiahou Tao veto the possibility of demon possession.
It is true that the demon is already afraid, it should be said that the remnant soul is afraid.
Not to mention the serious injury, he also lost his body, and he carefully planned the plan for more than ten years, and he was stillborn, and the demon was only a soul, and he was seriously injured, how could he dare to come back to Xiahou's house.
Besides, the demon is a very careful character, and he will definitely think that his identity may be exposed, and when the Xiahou family invites the Taoist priest of Shushan, then he will go back to a fart, isn't that self-throwing and sacrificing in vain? !
Devil's Eye wouldn't be so stupid, even if it was a wisp of remnant soul.
The demon has been hidden for more than ten years, and he has not made a move, and his plan is not small, and it is absolutely impossible to do such an uncertain thing.
Xiahou Zhang is not an easy person, and his second brother's hint is also to understand the impossibility of this matter.
But Xiahou Yulong looked at his father and second uncle quietly, waiting for his father to figure it out.
He had already been prepared, but this time he was mainly obscuring his true identity reasonably.
Seeing that the second uncle and father retracted their suspicious expressions and were no longer anxious, Xiahou Yulong suddenly said in an old voice: "Thinking about it, my father and second uncle must be very confused about the child's performance, and the child also knows that the second uncle is possessed by demons.
Father and second uncle, don't worry, the demon doesn't have the ability to dare to possess the child?"
When Xiahou Tao and Xiahou Zhang heard this, they looked at Xiahou Yulong in surprise, but they were also relieved.
But in his heart, he was extremely puzzled and shocked: "How could this kid say such an old thing?!"
How did he know that his second uncle was possessed by demons?!
This ......"
Xiahou Yulong saw his father and second uncle like this, as if he knew that they had a stomach of doubts and wanted to solve their doubts at this time.
Suddenly, the immature voice carried Lao Cheng, and his eyes flashed with wisdom, Xiahou Yulong said to the two: "Father, second uncle, the child knows that at this moment, you must have a lot of confusion about the child in your heart?"
But please let my father and second uncle rest assured, this matter is a long story, and besides, the wall has ears.
The child also has something to show his father and second uncle.
It's just that this matter is very important, and it is inconvenient for the child to take it out now. ”
After Xiahou Yulong finished speaking, he looked at his father and second uncle with a calm face, waiting for them to nod and take him to the secret passage.
Xiahou Zhang couldn't help but want to speak, but was immediately stopped by the second brother, only to see Xiahou Tao shake his head at him again, hold his goatee, and say to him: "Big brother, just listen to Yulong about this matter."
Maybe he'll surprise us too. ”
"At this moment, I can't look at him with the same eyes as a child. ”
This sentence remained deeply in Xiahou Tao's heart.
Xiahou Zhang saw that his second brother was so serious, his eyes flashed, and finally, he sighed helplessly.
It was even more difficult for him to make a choice in his heart, and he was obviously still looking at his son with his old eyes.
I thought that my son was just a thirteen-year-old child who didn't understand anything, and in my heart, I couldn't convince myself of everything I saw and heard.
Xiahou Zhang is not an indecisive person, so he immediately respected his second brother's proposal, nodded to Xiahou Tao, and said solemnly: "So, Yu'er, go to the secret path with your father." ”
When Xiahou Yulong heard his father say this, he immediately replied honestly: "Yes, Dad." ”
Xiahou Yulong followed behind the second uncle, looking honest.
Seeing his cowardice, Xiahou Tao immediately smiled to himself and shook his head.
The three of them slowly exited the room and walked towards the study.
In the secret passage, Xiahou Zhang and Xiahou Tao sat side by side, and Xiahou Yulong stood respectfully, without any fear.
The light in the secret passage is a little dim, and there is a sense of tranquility that would make a child scared if they were here.
But Xiahou Yulong is not what it used to be, and this kind of scene will not cause a ripple in his heart.
There is only one ashlar table in the secret room, and there are four chairs on all sides of the table, and the secret room is spacious and rectangular, and there is indeed no high platform in the secret passage, which is obviously different from the way the main and secondary guests in the living room are seated.
Stone tables and chairs are carved with quaint patterns and are located in the center of the space.
Thinking about it, this is the place where the most important and important secret discussion of the Xiahou family is located
