Lin Shuo followed Cao Yusheng to the study of the mansion.
Lin Shuo knew that the intention of Cao Yusheng's previous arrangements was nothing more than fearing that the walls would have ears, so he sent all the old men and women away.
And Anne, Wei Xingshan, and Zhang Jin were surrounded outside the village by this group of old people eager to hold their grandchildren or great-grandchildren, and they couldn't get in for the time being.
This created a private dialogue environment for Lin Shuo and Cao Yusheng.
However, this situation is temporary after all, so Lin Shuo knew that the two of them didn't have much time.
Cao Yusheng obviously understood this too. After the two sat down, the head of the Cao family said:
"Son, your father and mother and I became sworn brothers thirty years ago. Your father is my elder brother and your mother is my third sister.
There were four of us at that time, in terms of age, my eldest brother Lin Leshan was the oldest, but in terms of ability, the three of us combined could not compare to your mother.
Your mother, Yun Yuexin, has been the most outstanding inheritance hunter of the Yun family for five hundred years. "
After Cao Yusheng's words fell, Lin Shuo couldn't help being secretly surprised.
When his father Lin Leshan was alive, in front of Lin Shuo, he basically didn't close the chatter box and said everything.
Only the matter of his mother was never mentioned.
Lin Shuo knew the old man's difficulties. The father and son depended on each other for life. When mentioning their mother, both of them felt uncomfortable.
So Lin Shuo knew very little about his mother's situation.
Because of this relationship, Lin Shuo knew very little about his mother's natal family, the Yun family.
Lin Leshan unintentionally shielded Lin Shuo from this information.
Hearing what Cao Yusheng said now, Lin Shuo was very surprised, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of abilities does the Yun family have?"
"The Yun family, that's amazing." Cao Yusheng said, "If the Yun family's ability is developed, it will be unparalleled in the world.
For tens of thousands of years, until three hundred years ago, the Yun family has always been in charge of the Liemen, and it is not without reason.
Their strength is difficult to describe in words, and it is also difficult to guess according to common sense.
But I heard that their inheritance has extremely strict requirements on the talents of the clansmen. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were fewer and fewer qualified successors.
Three hundred years ago, no one could practice well, and this is the opportunity for your Lin family.
But your mother and my third sister are exceptions.
She did it.
What exactly is the inheritance of the Yun family? In fact, even our Cao family’s main line does not have too detailed information, let alone the head of my branch.
However, I am fortunate to be your mother's sworn brother, so I know more than others.
How good is she, let me tell you.
If she doesn't want you to see her, even if she is standing next to your nose, you won't be able to see her.
And when she communicates with you, she doesn't need to speak at all, you will see what she wants you to see.
She's told me before that she's not quite done yet.
Once practiced, she can control not only what she sees, but also the five senses, including sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
Your father took advantage of this, and could smell her before she could practice.
Miao Laoer and I have nothing to do, so she followed your father in the end.
However, manipulating the five senses is just the tip of the iceberg of what the Yun family is capable of. I don't know about more powerful things, and your mother won't talk about it.
So, after Third Sister Yun disappeared, I never thought she was dead.
There must be something that made her unable to show up and could only hide from people.
And she does have this ability. "
"But..." Lin Shuo twitched his nostrils, "I can't smell her."
"I'll get it done." Cao Yusheng said, "Your mother's temper is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. On the surface, she looks like an iceberg beauty, but she is actually kind-hearted.
I guess in your case, follow her.
If you're like dad, hey, you're a storyteller, you can't believe a word out of your mouth. "
When Cao Yusheng said these words, there was a look of nostalgia on his face, and then he sighed and continued: "Son, think about it, how uncomfortable it is for a woman with such a temper to not see her son for more than 20 years
Here, what was it that forced her to do this
In the past twenty years, I have actually been checking.
In the first twenty years, there was no clue, but in the past two or three years, there is some clue.
I think this matter has something to do with it. "
"What?" Lin Shuo asked.
"I don't know yet." Cao Yusheng sighed, "I don't know the name of this thing, and I don't know what it is. But I know that there is such a thing."
Lin Shuo was confused, but seeing that Cao Yusheng didn't intend to stop here, he didn't interrupt, but continued to listen.
"The third sister is from the Yun family, and the Yun family is from the Liemen, so if you want to investigate the matter of the third sister, you must start with the information from the Liemen.
Liemen intelligence was under the management of the Yun family three hundred years ago, and after the Yun family weakened, it has been under the management of the Cao family for the past three hundred years.
However, fifteen years ago, the Cao family's main branch was caught in a fire, which burned not only the inheritance of the Cao family, but also the intelligence materials of the Liemen for tens of thousands of years.
Oracle bone inscriptions, bamboo slips, and books were all burned.
I used to be the descendant of the Cao family branch, so I didn't have permission to view these materials, but when I became the head of the Cao family, the information was burned again, leaving only some fragments.
This matter, you can't leave it to others, I can only investigate it myself.
Therefore, I had to spend a few more years to learn the craft of restoring ancient books.
In recent years, I have been working on restoring the fragments that were picked up from the ruins of Cao's house.
The burning is too clean, and my progress is very slow.
However, from the few words in the fragment, I can roughly see that there is something that is the sworn enemy of the Yun family.
This kind of thing has been entangled with the Yun family for a long time, starting from the Tang and Song Dynasties.
As for the Yun family, it began to decline slowly from the Tang and Song dynasties.
Is it a coincidence
In my opinion, with your mother's ability, there is nothing in this world that can threaten her.
But if there is, then this thing is almost indistinguishable. "
After Cao Yusheng finished speaking, he picked up the gaiwan on the table, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.
But at this moment, Lin Shuo's mind is actually a little messed up.
The information provided by Cao Yusheng had a great impact on him.
He understood what Cao Yusheng said, and felt that this person would not lie to him.
The capabilities of the Yun family are truly unimaginable.
However, after all, Lin Shuo had read the Su family's "enclosure and confinement" cheat book, and there was actually no reason for the Su family's unique move.
The six masters of Liemen, Lin Zhang Xiuli, Cao Miao borrowed things, and Yunsu Lian Shen.
It was difficult to judge the capabilities of the Yun family and the Su family with common sense. Lin Shuo was mentally prepared for this.
And since his mother is so powerful, Lin Shuo is also very easy to accept emotionally.
As for what Cao Yusheng said, it is only Cao Yusheng's personal speculation at present, and Lin Shuo is just listening to it, so as not to get confused.
The point is, he thought of the dreams he had had in recent years.
Recently, he has dreamed of his mother more than once.
And since Cao Yusheng said that his mother had this ability, Lin Shuo knew that these dreams might not be just dreams.
It is very likely that the mother is sending something to herself.
However, this is the case with dreams. You are very awake in the dream, and you forget it when you wake up.
Thinking back on those dreams he had at this moment, Lin Shuo found that he couldn't remember them.
He was anxious and his mind was a little messed up.
Cao Yusheng was good at observing words and expressions, and when he saw Lin Shuo's expression, he knew that the child was in a hurry.
"Lin Shuo, don't worry." Cao Yusheng said, "Actually, there are two things that may provide further clues."
Lin Shuo raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The first thing is the white-headed flying corpse." Cao Yusheng said, "Fifteen years ago, who caused the disaster in the main line of the Cao family? It was this beast.
But the beast can kill, can it still set fire
Shouldn't it
Therefore, it is very likely that someone set the fire on purpose.
And setting this fire, is it pointing directly at the intelligence information of our Liemen
Then burning the information, what is he trying to erase or cover up
Now, after fifteen years of disappearance, the white-headed flying corpse has reappeared in Nepal. Is this a coincidence
I don't think it's that simple.
There is someone behind this matter.
As long as there are people, there are clues.
This is number one. "
Listening to Cao Yusheng's analysis, Lin Shuo couldn't help but nodded.
The head of the Cao family is indeed the mastermind of the hunting gate, and his thinking is very clear.
"What about the second thing?" Lin Shuo asked.
"The second thing is the peer alliance ceremony." Cao Yusheng said, "Before, didn't you ask me to inform the hunting gate families all over the world
You, the leader of the hunting gate, give orders, and I, the mastermind of the hunting gate, have to obey. "
Hearing the teasing meaning in Cao Yusheng's words, Lin Shuo felt a little helpless.
Lin Shuo thought to himself, I really can't blame me for using my power to overwhelm others. Who told your Fourth Uncle Cao not to see me before.
I don't know what's going on with you, so I can only do business.
But of course these words can't be said, so Lin Shuo just twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't speak.
Cao Yusheng obviously didn't care, and continued, "In the past few days, I have dissipated the news.
Since yesterday, there have been more and more replies.
Hey, it's very lively, everyone is here, everyone is very active.
And there was a family, I didn't expect them to send people, but in the end, they also came.
Can you guess which one? "
Lin Shuo's eyes lit up, and he patted the table lightly: "The Yun family."
"That's right." Cao Yusheng nodded, as if admiring Lin Shuo's tact, he said with a gratifying smile on his face, "It seems that the Yun family has a new successor.
Then when he comes, we will ask him about it.
What exactly is that thing? Is it possible that it has something to do with the disappearance of Third Sister Yun. "
"Yes." Lin Shuo nodded.
"Son, you have to calm down." Cao Yusheng's tone sank, and he patted the back of Lin Shuo's hand, "There will always be a day when the truth comes to light. You are now the leader of the hunting gate, and you have a heavy burden on your shoulders."
Lin Shuo's heart moved slightly, knowing that there was something in the words.
Just as he was about to ask something, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
"Old Lin, are you in there?"
With Wei Xingshan's voice, the brick wall couldn't stop it at all.
"Let's stop talking here today." Cao Yusheng stood up and said, "Go and welcome the others in first."
The two stopped talking, stood up and walked out of the study.
After passing through the hall, the door was divided into left and right, and Wei Xingshan was just outside the door, followed by Anne and Zhang Jin.
The giant man was holding seven or eight photos in his hands, and when he saw Lin Shuo, he asked:
"Old Lin, help me choose, which girl is good, the Cao family is too enthusiastic!"
Cao Yusheng stepped forward, took the stack of photos from Wei Xingshan, and asked Lin Shuo, "Who is this?"
"My apprentice."
"Oh." Cao Yusheng nodded, and casually threw the photo in his hand outside the door, "Then these girls are not good enough."
After clapping his hands, Cao Yusheng pointed out with one hand: "Everyone, Mr. Cao has been negligent, please come to the hall to discuss the matter."
