Once upon a time, Han Gucai gave me the feeling of an old man with white hair, immortal body, and a calm and serene demeanor as if water.
But now, he makes me feel no longer calm, as if there were more thoughts and more uncertainties added.
A Taoist as powerful as he... if he were to take a wrong path due to the spawning of his heart demon, what might happen? How hard would it be to control?
I don't know.
I only know that at this moment, under no circumstances can we offend Han Gucai...
"If there are no other matters, you may go down the mountain. When Sun Zhuo returns to the supervision arena, I will send someone to find you," Han Zhuizi spoke again.
"Han Brother, what will happen?" I didn't continue the conversation and asked again.
"Han Qiu will purify his mind, cross over to the dark realm, and reborn," Han Zhuizi answered calmly.
I was taken aback.
However, for a Taoist, becoming a zombie is itself a great insult.
Han Qiu can hold out to today, partly because of Si Yan, and perhaps another part is to tell Han Zhuizi about the clues of the retribution ghost.
It was only after he met me that things became more variable, and there were more things he had to persevere with.
"Please, Han Elder, convey to Han Brother that I wish him a good journey and may he be reborn as someone with extraordinary talent in the next life."
I bowed deeply to Han Zhuizi.
"Haha, Han Qiu will be very happy. He said you are a true friend."
Han Zhuizi smiled, and the uncertainty and danger he gave me earlier disappeared, as if he was also suppressing himself.
…
One can only temporarily leave the supervision arena and cannot seek the retribution ghost in other directions.
However, I am very clear in my heart that if the retribution ghost wants to come out, no one can stop him.
If he wants to find me, it will be even easier for him.
The matter at the supervision arena can only be put on hold, and I also can't control it; I can't afford to take care of it.
As soon as I stepped out of the supervision arena's gate, a figure waved in the distance, and there were excited cries: "Brother-in-law!"
My face turned pale, and I turned to look, finding Hua Qiqi at the other end of the parking lot. Her slender and lovely figure was fully revealed under the sunlight, especially her beautiful smile blossoming like a flower when she was extremely happy.
My heart sank as I approached. Before Hua Qiqi could speak, I demanded, "Why are you still on the mountain? Why haven't you gone down? Wasn't it agreed upon? If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain to Jueying?"
?!
A series of questions left Hua Qiqi with her teeth clenched tightly and tears welling up in her eyes, looking particularly aggrieved.
My face still hadn't recovered.
My face still hadn't recovered because of the previous situation, indeed, it is not worth losing. The matter of Huaxing is long overdue, and if Huqi has any problems, it will truly create new troubles.
"I'm sorry..."
"I... I just wanted to make sure Brother-in-law is safe. The Jue family has an art that can use Ji Di to capture the soul. At this critical point, if you were to meet with an accident, I could use that method to bring you back, maybe even bring your spirit back into your body..."
"I..."
Hua Qiqi stopped talking, just with her head down and her hands intertwined in front of her chest.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
At this point, thankfully, nothing has happened.
"I'll drive us down the mountain." I changed the subject.
"Brother-in-law, are you not angry anymore?" Hua Qiqi looked up, her face, which had been wet with tears earlier, now shone with a joyful smile.
I still didn't respond, just walked towards that old broken bread car.
I sat in the passenger seat and Huaxing drove down the mountain. During the trip, she asked me where I was going now.
For a moment, I really didn't have a good place to go.
After a moment of thought, I said: "Let's go to Tang Shu's place. There are some things that need careful consideration before making a decision."
Hua Qiqi said no more and drove the car towards their residential villa area.
Actually, the next step of the matter is to save Hua Qiqi.
The original plan was to lead the way, Yang Manager, and gather a large number of Huangsi personnel.
However, Hua Qiqi saw another "leader" eating up Zhang Xu.
I haven't mentioned this matter to Han Zhuizi, but it will definitely be told to Han Qiu and Si Yan.
The grim fate of the blue-robed Taoist under the hands of Huangsi, Han Zhuizi is not likely to ignore it.
Moreover, in this matter, the leader deceived me.
Huang Shu had warned me to be careful of him...
This journey plan, excluding the leader, would leave only me alone.
Even if the retribution ghost comes looking for me, I have an extra bargaining chip, but I still feel it's not enough.
I may only have this one chance, and I must not take any risks without being fully prepared.
And time is something that is pressing.
This reverie left me feeling anxious and restless.
I didn't feel how long it took, but the car was already in the villa area, and stopped outside the houses of Tang Qian and Huaxing.
After we get out of the car, we go straight into the house.
At this time, Tang Qian was busy in the kitchen, with the aroma of vegetables filling the air.
"Tang Shu!" Huaxing shouted loudly, "We're back!"
"Huh!"
Tang Qian came out of the kitchen, limping and wiping his hands with a towel. He was particularly delighted.
"Lord! Little Huaxing, you are back. Add some more dishes, I will add two more right away."
He was overjoyed as he hurried back to the kitchen.
"Where is it small?" Huaxing pursed her lips and slightly stood up straight.
I frowned and sat down on the sofa.
"Brother-in-law!" Huaxing followed me again.
She seemed to want to say something, but then suddenly realized it and her face turned bright red. She ran up the stairs in small steps.
I closed my eyes slightly to calm down my spirit.
It was almost dark when Tang Qian finally had the table full of dishes, making this meal particularly abundant.
Huaxing changed into a set of sporty tight-fitting clothes, showing her slender and delicate figure to perfection.
Tang Qian was smiling happily all the time, and didn't pay much attention.
I ate by myself.
It was when Lao Gong appeared that his head shot up to the table, constantly drooling.
It was not clear whether it was Lao Gong's unreserved self or that Tang Qian and Tang Qian had been together for a long time, he had seen Lao Gong this time directly.
However, having seen so many ghostly and eerie things, Tang Qian was no longer afraid.
Tang Qian asked me cautiously, "Lord, what do ghosts eat? Do you want me to give him four fragrant sticks from Qianqian's? Look, he is really hungry."
"No." I shook my head.
"Oh..."
Tang Qian didn't say much.
Huaxing had already noticed Lao Gong's reaction, and she even made a disapproving sound, saying that Lao Gong was being infatuated with someone else and had even accepted a handkerchief from a female Taoist.
Lao Gong immediately turned a bitter expression on his face, making a sound of "Huh oh!" and defending himself by saying that it was a temporary measure. He explained that he always had to help those two Taoists. He had thought he might get some benefits, but hadn't expected the female Taoist to use her beauty to entice him?
It seems like Lao Gong is as if he is infatuated with beauty!
It's truly vulgar!
Huaxing sniffed and rolled her eyes.
Tang Qian looked at them in amazement.
I looked at Lao Gong for a moment longer.
To be honest, Lao Gong is quite special.
In the past, I thought that his uniqueness was only because of Wu Zhongkuan's spirit, giving him a touch of Taoist mastery and making him a yang god.
Eating a master's soul is just one of his abilities, right?
