Suddenly, my expression changed drastically, my first thought was how could that be?
Tang Quan has rarely gone out.
I was even more cautious, taking detours each time. How did Xu Fangnian find the city village?
Things have already happened, it's meaningless to dig into the root cause.
"Did you meet?" I asked hoarsely.
"No... Xu Fangnian's car is outside, knocking on the door constantly. I didn't open the door, nor did I say anyone was home. But since they've come looking for us, they must know we're here," Tang Quan answered uneasily.
"Tang uncle, from the back window or anywhere else, don't let them find you. Run out first, go to Huang Qin's house, her husband is a sick ghost, if there are any accidents, he should be able to stop them." I immediately instructed.
Xu Fangnian's problem was too obvious. Without me by his side, how could I be sure he wouldn't directly flip the script? It's better to hide.
"I know about Master. I'll take Qianqian with me!" Tang Quan's tone was much more composed. Then he added, "And your luggage."
"Don't worry about the luggage, let them look around as they please," I replied.
Earlier, I had recapped with Tang Quan that whether the Xu family had discovered something useful on my person. I actually don't know, but basically, I can be sure that there's no such thing.
The luggage, apart from clothes, contains some items needed for the nine-level art.
Leave them in Tang's old mansion, let the Xu family take a look.
Perhaps that would shake off Xu family's tail?
If it doesn't work to shake them off, then their purpose might be quite intriguing.
Of course, this isn't because I'm scared of the Xu family. The current troubles are really too many, reducing a few would allow me to relax a big breath and deal with other matters.
"I understand, Master. I'll leave right now."
With that, the phone was hung up.
Then I lowered my head and flipped through a few more documents, closing my eyes.
It seems that there's no way to avoid it, and I'll have to be coerced by the Lord of Heaven... Wait a while, when Chuying comes out, I'll try to get her to think of a solution. About half an hour later, Chuying walked out of the embankment and returned to the roadside.
She didn't carry a suitcase, nor did she hold a box about 30-40 centimeters in size.
The box is sealed with three talismanic signs, which are extremely complex and far exceed the ghost mrs. talismanic scrolls I use.
"Originally, it was agreed to be handed over to the supervision. Huang uncle held back. These three pieces of paper funerary talismans can isolate the yin and resentment of the dead people's clothing from leaking out. Huang uncle advised you to be very careful and prudent, this must be something from the Five Inferno Ghosts, not a bit of sloppiness." Chuying advised me with extreme caution.
I took the wooden box, opened it, and took a look inside.
Just one look, I felt a chill in my right eye, as if someone was about to pluck it out!
I grunted and held back the phantom pain. The pain disappeared again.
Recalling the old man's action, it was the first time I perceived it. When he saw my shadow in his own eye, he wanted to pluck out his own eye ball.
I stopped the perception in time, but the second time, he was waiting by the mirror, as if he knew I would perceive him again.
This time, he plucked out his own eyes!
Could it be that it's because of his action that my right eye has some kind of connection with him?
No, it's not just a simple connection...
The side effect of perception is that the spirit cannot bear the clinging and resentment of some ghosts, leading to confusion between the ghost's experience and human memory!
Is that a side effect?
My nightmares are things that the old man experienced in the past!?
"Luo Xianshen!" Chuying's voice suddenly changed. I felt my wrist grabbed!
I jolted awake, cold sweat drenched my body, and goosebumps covered me all over...
Because, I actually tilted my head again, with my fingers pinching the cold glasses frame, pretending to put on the glasses.
My fingers trembled, and the glasses fell back into the wooden box.
I snapped the lid shut with a sound.
The three pieces of paper talismans were tightly attached to the surface of the wooden box.
My heart was pounding wildly.
Chuying's eyes were full of unease.
"Nothing, it's just a minor issue..." I answered hoarsely.
The side effects of perception, Old Qin's head never said how to eliminate them.
I roughly judge it to be this reason, but I can't be sure. The dead man's clothes still need to be kept with me.
"Let's go back to my house first to deal with the trouble with you?" Chuying loosened her hand that was gripping my wrist and asked seriously.
"First go to the city village, there's a bit of trouble with Tang uncle, and we need a plan for this." I replied again.
Chuying hesitated for a moment before saying, "If your plan is to enter the Underworld and take care of your family affairs, can you handle Sun Daihai first? I will still help you."
I immediately understood. Chuying was afraid that I would get the information about Luo's family and since the Sun family was difficult to deal with, she would ignore Sun Daihai and Sun Zhuo.
She probably only thinks that the Sun family merely took away my parents' inheritance, nothing more.
Just, the fate is my biggest secret.
"I'm not convenient to explain too much, but you can rest assured that the matters between the Sun family and me are no less important than finding out the cause of my parents' death. I won't put them aside." I explained.
Chuying's expression finally relaxed, and she whispered, "Thank you."
The two of them climbed into the car and headed towards the city village.
On the way, I told Chuying that the Lord of Heaven is still scheming against me and has no key information.
Chuying's pretty face cooled slightly, and she said with her lips pressed together, "I guessed there would be a scene like this. Yang the steward is quarrelsome, but the leader is cunning to the extreme. If it weren't for the leader's order, Yang the steward would go to any lengths not to stop fighting with you."
"The leader doesn't move you, which means they have calculated that you should do something. The matter about the underworld business they mentioned, it must be worth more than what the Lord of Heaven paid for those eight people to die."
"I'll contact my friend first."
With that, Chuying dialed a number.
The voice was turned on and the phone rang for half a long time.
"Hello?" A slightly gentle man's voice said.
The car suddenly slowed down, and there was more sweat on Chuying's forehead.
"Chuying, what do you want to talk to Shicheng about?" The voice came again.
"No... Nothing, I'm driving. I pressed the wrong button." Chuying tried her best to control her emotions, but she could still hear the panic in her voice.
"Oh, Shicheng tried to steal some important information from the Lord of Heaven. She's been confined to her quarters. You'd better not look for her either, or you might be suspected."
After she finished speaking, the phone beeped once and was hung up.
"I guess the leader is much smarter than Yang the steward." I took a deep breath and said.
Chuying was silent for a moment, and her eyes were full of complex emotions. There was some unwillingness, and also some agony.
"What's wrong?" I asked Chuying.
Chuying finally told me the truth, saying that Shicheng and she had a good relationship, but she had never shown it in front of outsiders before. She had also never allowed Shicheng to take information alone before.
"Even if it's an investigation of me, it should be done officially," I replied.
Therefore, before this call, no one should have known about her relationship with Shicheng.
But the leader actually struck first against Shicheng!
Although being confined to quarters doesn't sound like a big deal, but if Shicheng has been ordered to steal important information from the Lord of Heaven, things become serious.
I was shocked at heart.
A chill ran through my mind. Shicheng, who was a hidden card that Chuying had not used, has been taken control of by the other side first?
As my thoughts swirled, I narrowed my eyes and said, "If there are no accidents, the flaw appeared a few days ago. Although you haven't let her take any information, she has still been exposed."
