Before, when old Gong mentioned the talisman, I was still trying to grasp it, but Uncle Huang summed it up with a single sentence!
Right, he knew about the series of events in Qi Village, and also knew about the leader who took away Wu Zhongkuan's various items.
Indeed... It's quite dangerous to go alone into the Hengsi manor at present.
Likely, I might just run into the Plague Ghost...
Even if it's not the Plague Ghost, but the leader who has been eaten after death, it is extremely dangerous.
Old Gong, what's the best strategy?
He You Tian also furrowed his brow, waiting for an answer from Old Gong.
"Master has his own brilliant plan, Hengsi ancestor doesn't need to ask so many questions."
Old Gong's eyes rolled as he suddenly said, "However, it's to our advantage for Bing Shan Miss to follow us, with no harm.”
"Good." Si Yan nodded resolutely, without the slightest fear.
Instead, Sei Laozi's eyes showed a hint of worry.
Then, old Gong looked at He You Tian and suddenly said, "If by tomorrow night, we see the North Polar Seven Stars aligning, Uncle He, you must leave Jin Yang, which is extremely inauspicious for you. Master has me protecting him and will certainly be safe. Don't worry about so much; understand?"
He You Tian's brow furrowed even more deeply.
My expression slightly changed.
He You Tian, what's the danger?
However, Old Gong began to urge me to leave, not to waste time, as he said the longer the night got, the more nightmares there would be.
Therefore, I had no choice but to leave.
After getting out of the Hengsi Temple, Old Gong reminded me to walk further away.
Everything here was already familiar to me, and as I reached the street, Old Gong continued to roll his eyes around.
"What happened to the senior master? Why is there an ominous sign again?" Si Yan asked faster than me.
I also watched Old Gong with confusion.
Old Gong, however, licked his lips and said, "He doesn't have any omens."
"No?!" Si Yan seemed perplexed and confused.
"Isn't it that the North Polar Seven Stars align? Why are you lying to Master Brother?" I was particularly confused.
"Hmph." Old Gong glanced at me and muttered, "Has Master not understood yet? You two go to the high-speed train station first, buy a ticket to Jiang Huang City, and we'll talk on the way."
"Oh, right. Due to the reason of the current time, from tomorrow onwards, if you look up at the sky in that location where the Hengxi Temple is, you will definitely see the seven stars aligned. I just asked Old He not to interfere with Wu Zhongkuan's matter about the Plague Ghost, so that he wouldn't be taken advantage of by others."
Old Gong added another sentence.
Si Yan was still puzzled and confused, looking at me.
I breathed very quickly, realizing what Old Gong intended...
He saw that I had no excuse, opportunity, and gave me a reasonable reason.
Just why did he bring Si Yan along?
Unbeknownst to us, the sky had already turned bright, and Old Gong had disappeared silently.
"Old Gong is asking us to separate from the senior master and Master? What is in Jiang Huang City?" Si Yan asked the question.
I took a deep breath, trying to adjust my composure.
"Let's go, we'll talk on the way," I told Si Yan.
We used her phone to buy tickets and then took a taxi all the way to the high-speed train station, boarding the first bullet train to Jiang Huang City.
It was too early, and our business class carriage was just us two.
As Si Yan trusted me, I didn't withhold anything and first mentioned the matter of Sun Zhuo and Tianshou Daoist Temple.
"In the Tianshou Daoist Temple... Sun Zhuo's commanding door... Your purpose, is this?" Si Yan mumbled.
"In fact... no," I was silent for a moment, pondering while I dialed Jiongying. This time, the phone rang.
My heart slightly accelerated, and I appeared slightly nervous.
"Hello?" On the other end of the phone, it wasn't Jiongying's voice, but her father, Jiongong.
"Master Xian Shen, little Jiongying and little Qi are out on business. She's left her phone with me because she said you would definitely call one day."
My face changed again, and I felt a sense of disappointment in my heart.
But upon hearing the word Xiao Qi, I knew that Jiongying had returned, and she was still safe and sound.
"Oh, by the way, she said she has something that you might be looking for. She had it sent to Jiang Huang City. You can contact a man named Liang Yu, yes, I'm giving you his phone number." Jiongqiong continued.
"Master Xian Shen, are you listening?"
"Okay, Uncle, you go ahead." I stabilized my emotions.
Jiongqiong recited a phone number, and I wrote it down using Si Yan's phone.
After hanging up the phone, I dialed Liang Yucun.
It rang for two seconds, and Liang Yucun answered.
"Hello," was the slightly jealous tone of Liang Yucun's voice. "Jiongying sent something to you, I've got it, haven't opened it yet. Are you coming to Jiang Huang?"
"Mmm," I answered.
"So when you get here, please contact me. She said that once you're here, you'll definitely go to find Mr. Shang Tai Zhi. Where are you landing, at the airport or the high-speed train station?" Liang Yucun asked again.
I was silent for a few seconds before giving another address, which was where I and Jiongying lived.
Liang Yucun knew that place.
However, she didn't know that there were some cognitive conflicts between me and Jiongying.
The phone hung up, and I remained in a daze for a long time.
During this time, Si Yan had been staring at me, lost in thought.
"You seem to be having some issues with a woman called Jiongying." Si Yan suddenly asked, "What happened between you two? Did you have a disagreement?"
"No," I categorically denied.
"Oh," Si Yan didn't press the matter anymore. She continued: "You said it wasn't about Sun Zhuo. Are you contacting them because of your connection?"
I fell silent again.
I didn't understand Old Gong's intention.
Just that, as he let Si Yan follow us, it means that he doesn't want me to keep anything from her.
I figured out two things, a blueprint, and a copper piece.
"What are these?" She looked increasingly puzzled.
"Do you know why Zheng Ren said that the four regulations mirror was stolen?" I opened my mouth.
Si Yan shook her head.
"Because, in fact, it has always been with me; the one Zheng Ren has is a fake," I continued.
A trace of horror flashed through Si Yan's eyes!
I simply explained the process, the whereabouts of the four regulations mirror that was broken, and Zheng Ren's purpose.
Si Yan remained silent, her eyes filled with a faint sense of fear and unease.
"You... You're going to copy a four-regulations mirror... In order to make someone in the mountain help out Sun Zhuo..."
"Not only that, Zheng Ren killed the four regulations true master, his name is not right, he's not legitimate. The four regulations mirror I have, as long as it's brought out, he'll think it's true. His mind will snap."
"Master Brother's evidence is still a bit thin, because after all, that thing was stolen from Zheng Ren by me. I need to bring the four regulations mirror back in order to completely defeat Zheng Ren!"
"Master Brother, I will be honest with you."
"And... What about him? What is his purpose, exactly?" Si Yan's anxiety didn't dissipate, but instead grew thicker. Sweat had even formed on her forehead.
"Who?" I asked, then fell silent.
Si Yan's hand quietly clenched into a fist, and her eyes looked very difficult.
Before I could answer, she said: "Why... Do you have to include me? You've already done so much, helping the senior master and uncovering Zheng Ren's true face... Why do you have to let me know all of this..."
"Good things don't fall from the sky. Mao You San... What does he really intend to do to the Four Regulations Mountain?"
"The Four Regulations Mountain... It's already changing..."
