Chapter 171 Demonic Qi

In the early morning, Chen Fengxi came to the Bai family compound accompanied by Ye Ziyi and Bai Hong.

This authentic old Beijing Siheyuan, which is less than ten minutes away from the Temple of Heaven Park, has become a group rental house like most houses here. Except for the six rooms in the main house and no rent, all the remaining houses were rented out.

The grape trellis is full of clothes. It is not difficult to see from the snack carts placed in front of the courtyard and in the courtyard. Most of the people living here are small vendors from other places.

The scene in front of him made Chen Fengxi feel sad. Seeing the place where his mother lived became such a situation, who would not be sad?

Chen Fengxi asked unhappily: "Why did it look like this? Is the family short of money?"

Bai Hong shook her head: "No matter how much you lack, you won't be short of this rent. This is not what my father and others mean, but grandpa himself. After grandma passed away, he drove everyone out of the house. After he became ill, Aunt Gong rented all the places except the house where the second aunt used to live and where her grandpa lived, and we had no choice."

"Aunt Gong?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

Bai Hong whispered: "It's the maid of *** dowry. She always calls her Aunt Gong, and she's used to calling her. After her grandfather was ill, Aunt Gong was always waiting for her. She came out!"

A floral jacket, hidden blue trousers, and her white yellow hair were meticulously combed behind her head. She looked at her at least eighty years old, but her energy was obviously better than those old ladies in her fifties and sixty years old.

"Aunt Gong!" Bai Hong stepped forward affectionately and hugged Aunt Gong's arm.

"Why are you hurt again?" Aunt Gong asked with a caring look on her face.

Bai Hong smiled disapprovingly: "It's okay, little injury. I brought my cousin!"

Aunt Gong looked at Chen Fengxi quietly before saying slowly: "Well, come with me."

Ye Ziyi pushed Chen Fengxi into the living room. The pungent smell of sandalwood and disinfectant mixed together created a very unpleasant smell. This smell was very uncomfortable, a little upset, and a little restless.

Aunt Gong lifted up the thick door curtain and said calmly: "You go in by yourself."

"Thank you." After saying thank you respectfully, Chen Fengxi turned his wheelchair and walked into the room.

The room less than fifty square meters is like an arsenal. There are not only eighteen weapons hanging around the wall, but also some weapons that Chen Feng likes to have never heard of or seen.

In the center of the room is a mahogany Buddha silhouette. Its exquisiteness makes people wonder how the carpenter's magical craftsmanship. While marveling at the carpenter's craftsmanship, Chen Fengxi was also curious about the hollow carving outside the silhouette, because it does not carve the Buddha's head or statue like an ordinary silhouette, but carves a unique fox. In the silhouette box, there is also a fox with squint eyes and seated. The slightly jumping candlelight makes all this look so weird.

"Here you come!"

The old voice suddenly sounded, and then Chen Fengxi noticed that the room was linked to another room. An old man with a hunchbacked figure and thin body slowly walked in from the curtain lifting.

Although his figure is hunched, his steps are quite steady.

Although he is thin, his muscle lines are very clear.

Although there was no blood on his face, his energy did not look like a patient suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

All of this made Chen Fengxi curious about the old man in front of him.

"I am Bai Zhenyue, your grandfather!" Bai Zhenyue suddenly showed an unhappy expression on her face when she saw Chen Fengxi not calling him for a long time.

"Grandpa, aren't you... sick?" Chen Fengxi asked in confusion.

Bai Zhenyue sat on the cushion in front of the Buddha's niche with a calm expression, put his palms on his knees, turned his palms outward, and his eyes closed slightly and sat down.

Chen Fengxi was a little confused. He didn't understand what Bai Zhenbing meant. Just when he didn't know what to do, Bai Zhenyue slowly spoke: "I heard about what happened today. You were a little reckless. This will bring you a murderous disaster."

Chen Fengxi said tentatively: "Grandpa, that... I drank a little too much today, but now I'm a little too weak to use my brain. What do you have to say... Can you say it clearly?"

Bai Zhenyue said slowly, "I know that you have not been easy for the past eighteen years. I am the same, and I am not easy for me. You should know that pretending to be sick is not an easy thing, especially under the observation of so many people, it is not an easy thing to pretend to be sick."

"Why are you pretending to be sick?" Chen Fengxi asked in confusion.

Bai Zhenyue said word by word: "For you."

"For me?" Chen Fengxi widened her eyes in surprise.

Bai Zhenyue nodded: "Well, for you. After Su Ying and Nan had an accident, I want to bring you back. But if I really did that, you might not be able to survive now. But I regretted what I did at that time, and not taking you back made people suspicious, so I could only pretend to be sick, making people feel that our Bai family is over, and making people know that our Bai family no longer has the ability to take revenge. Only in this way can you survive!"

Chen Fengxi asked suspiciously: "Your costume... has been eighteen years?"

Bai Zhenyue said in a low voice: "No, it's seventeen years. I started pretending to be sick the second year after Su Ying was arrested. Gongbu and others were naturally dull and could not see it at all. If it were Su Ying, they should be able to see me at first sight. It's a pity... Forget it, I won't mention the past, let's talk about the future. This time you come back, it's a storm. If you just serve the country, then no one will do anything to you. But now you are focusing on revitalizing the Bai family. Then Wu and Zhan, the Chen San family will definitely not let you go. Especially Zhan, Chen Er family, I'm afraid they will attack you soon. What solutions do you have?"

Chen Fengxi said with a confused look on his face: "That... Grandpa, can you let me slow down? I'm a little confused."

At this moment, Chen Fengxi was not just confused, but she was simply stupid.

Everything Bai Zhenyue said was the most horrifying words he had ever heard in his life. Pretending to have seventeen years of Alzheimer's disease is impossible for a person to complete both physically and psychologically. Chen Fengxi is a doctor and can't understand this very well, but all this happened, and it happened because of himself, so his spirit was unable to accept it for the moment.

After a while of rest, Chen Fengxi said with confusion: "Grandpa, what do you mean is that you pretended to be sick at that time to save me from their evil hands?"

Bai Zhenyue said helplessly: "It's not only you, but also the Bai family. If I don't pretend to be sick, Zhan Baoshu and Chen Xuanhu will definitely kill him to prevent future troubles, so I can only pretend to be sick."

Chen Fengxie asked curiously: "I'm still a little confused. Even if you pretended to be sick, you deceived them... What is the purpose? Did you know that I would achieve what I am today seventeen years ago?"

Bai Zhenyue shook his head: "No, I didn't expect you to do anything. I just hope you can survive, but it's good or bad, as long as you can survive. Your achievements today are an accident for me."

Chen Fengxi asked in confusion: "Then how do you avenge this revenge... how do you avenge?"

Bai Zhenyue said expressionlessly: "Come in."

As he finished speaking, men and women in rustic clothes and sloppy shapes walked into the house.

It is not difficult to judge from their clothes, dress, hairstyle and the smell of their bodies. They are the owners of the snack carts outside.

The twelve people stood in a row neatly and orderly, and respectfully gave a gift of kneeling on one knee to Bai Zhenyue.

Chen Fengxi looked at the seven men and five women in a daze. The moment they knelt on the ground to salute, they instantly changed from a hawker to a murderous and cruel man. Even the candlelight was pressed aside because of their change in momentum.

Bai Zhenyue said expressionlessly: "This is Suying's son, Chen Fengxi."

The twelve people silently looked up and nodded to Chen Fengxi to show their goodwill.

Bai Zhenyue looked at Chen Fengxi with a serious expression and said, "Your mother's sword skills were practiced by you, the five aunts. Your mother's fist work was practiced by these seven uncles. The cultivation of our Bai family's heads in the past dynasties was achieved by practicing with the company of twelve guardians. The Bai family should have been the leader of Su Ying!"

Chen Fengxi opened her mouth wide in amazement, and could not say a word for a long time. The scene in front of her was a bit like a martial arts novel. She said that her mother gave up the opportunity to become the head of the Bai family in order to be with her father. Isn’t this too fierce?

Bai Zhenyue said calmly: "No one knows about this matter except the heads of the family in the past. Since I had to pretend to be sick, your aunt Gong became the only one who knew their existence, and you were the second one. For the past seventeen years, they have been studying Wu, Zhan, Chen, and the Wu family are second, especially the Zhan and Chen family, but the effect is not ideal. Otherwise, I would not be a fool in the eyes of outsiders now. They are not professional spies, so it is natural that they cannot do such things well. However, if they are released, I still have the capital and Wu, Zhan and the two families. But this is not good for anyone, so I can only wait for the right opportunity. Unexpectedly, the opportunity did not wait, but waited for you."

Chen Fengxi swallowed nervously, looked at the twelve men and women with unique looks with a confused look and said, "Did no one know their existence for such a long time?"

Bai Zhenyue nodded: "No one except me and your aunt, knows their relationship with our Bai family. If it weren't for your reckless behavior this time, I wouldn't let you know their existence, but now that you have pushed the Bai family to the forefront, I have to think about your safety."

Suddenly, Chen Fengxi remembered how to describe the smell in the living room. It was not the smell of sandalwood and disinfectant, but the demonic spirit!
