Volume 1: Spirit Marriage Chapter 62: Change of Face

  I and Zhang Yunhao inexplicably both said that we didn't find any ghostly aura on Qian Yi's body. I asked Wu Lele how she discovered the ghostly aura on Qian Yi's body, Wu Lele said that as soon as she saw Qian Yi, she felt that he had a ghostly aura... intuition, I sneered at it, women's intuition is all misconception.

  Zhang Yunhao said that the fish Taoist priest was probably not here for He Shuo, and this villa is really not simple. Under Mr. Qian's leadership, he walked through every corner of the villa and found that the ghost energy was strongest on a small building in the west, and Mr. Qian said that the small building was Qian Yi's residence.

  Is it really haunted by Qian Yi? I told Zhang Yunhao about the black-clothed female ghost I met on my way here, and also shared my speculation that the black-clothed female ghost would still haunt Qian Yi. Zhang Yunhao said, "It seems that Yu Daoist is not coming for He Suo, but for the ghost in the villa, maybe even specifically for the black-clothed female ghost."

  At this moment, a ghostly figure flew out of the villa like a ghost. I took a closer look and it was He Suo. I was overjoyed and waved at him eagerly. Zhang Junhao suddenly shouted: "What a strong ghost energy! It's not good, getting closer and closer... to the outside of the car..." I said it was He Suo, and Zhang Junhao felt relieved, saying no wonder this ghost energy smelled so familiar. As he spoke, He Suo had already jumped into the car. I was about to scold him when this little guy made a ghostly face at me and transformed into a black smoke that floated into my iron box.

  "Wu Lele pointed into the villa and shouted: 'Quickly look, that stinky Taoist is coming out!'"

  As expected, the Taoist priest ran out of the villa, and I quickly said that the ghost had entered the knife, start the car! Zhang Yunhao said to take a look at how big this Taoist is, I said what's the point of looking, can't wait for him to catch He Xiaogui? Wu Lele was even more anxious than me, stretched out her hand to move the steering wheel, saying that if you don't drive, I'll drive. Zhang Yunhao hurriedly pushed her away and shouted: "Don't touch it, I'm driving!"

  The Taoist priest of the fish way ran to our car, Zhang Junhao immediately started the car and quickly backed away. The fish Taoist stretched out his hand and pointed at us, shouting: "Stop!" Wu Lele and I shouted in unison: "Don't mind him, drive fast!" Wu Lele turned the steering wheel sharply, with a screeching sound, the car turned around and sped away like lightning.

  After running for over a hundred meters, seeing that the Fish Daoist hadn't caught up, Zhang Yunhao said in confusion: "We didn't steal, we didn't rob, and we didn't set up a stall to sell Miss's goods, why did we have to run away?" I said it was all because of He Suo, that little devil. Zhang Yunhao said there was no need to run, the little devil is your knife soul, if he dares to snatch, we'll destroy him!

  Spoken with great confidence.

  Wu Lele gave Zhang Yunhao a cold glance and sneered, "With your appearance, you also want to destroy others? If I'm not mistaken, that Taoist can knock you down with just one finger!" Zhang Yunhao huffed and puffed, saying, "You're such a fool, which side are you helping? Why must you ruin your own prestige and boost someone else's morale?" Wu Lele said, "You don't believe me? Try it next time and see."

  These two people, don't know what's going on, it's better if they're not together, when they are together, they just quarrel and make a fuss, really can't stand it.

  After going home, I called He Xiao out and severely educated him. Without my permission, he must not come out of the yin-yang knife on his own, nor can he go out to wander around on his own. In case he encounters a master like Yu Dao again, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  He was very wronged, saying that it was too cold in the yin-yang knife, like a palace of ice and snow, and no one accompanied him to play, lonely and helpless, no different from Chang'e in the moon.

  "And," He Xiao said with a gleam in his eye, "I found traces of someone like me there. I was going to go take a look at who it was, but then I saw you guys leave, so I had no choice but to follow you out."

  "Could it be another Water Sacred Child?"

  He Shuo said it's not Water Saint Child, but one thing is for sure, it's a ghost.

  It seems that there really is a ghost in the villa.

  Suddenly I thought, could Shu Yun's strange illness be related to that ghost?

  After recalling Hei to the Yin Yang blade, I felt very sleepy and fell asleep as soon as I lay down. Just after lying down, a cold air rushed towards my face, and I sat up from the bed with a start, only to find someone standing in front of me!

  No, it should be a ghost. It was the old man I met in the cave of Panlong Mountain. When I saw him, I didn't feel scared at all, but rather a sense of relief, as if a stone had been lifted from my heart. I said you've come, and I was originally planning to go to Panlong Mountain to see you. The old man said he came to thank me, that the medicine I burned for him had arrived and he had taken it, and his illness had healed. He also said he would soon be going to the underworld, and had come to bid farewell to me. I asked him why he told me earlier in the cave that he died thirty years ago, and his soul was trapped in the cave, so he couldn't leave. But then why did someone see his body at the bottom of the cave the next day? The old man admitted that he had lied to me, but he also had a reason for it. Since he was already dead, and we were all young people, he was worried that if we knew he died at the bottom of the cave, we would be scared. So he didn't tell us the truth. I asked him how he died, and he said he was playing in the water when he suddenly had a heart attack, fell into the water, and died. Because he died in the water, he felt cold, and since no one collected his body at the time, he became a lonely ghost.

  After he finished speaking, the old man left. However, before he left, he advised me not to go to the mountain cave again. I asked him why, but he refused to say.

  The next day, on the way to school, I asked Zhang Yunhao why he wanted to stay alone with Mr. Qian last night when I went back to retrieve the yin-yang knife, and also had a pleasant conversation with Mr. Qian. Zhang Yunhao was mysterious and said it was a secret, then told me to take the check to the bank to cash it. Seeing so much money on the check, I felt a little excited, just like when I was a kid and my father gave me 10 yuan, I was afraid of losing it or being robbed, and didn't dare to use it.

  Zhang Yunhao took the check from my hand, looked at it, and said with infinite infatuation: "I didn't expect Mr. Qian to be so generous, really worthy of being a Qian, damn it, if I had a son, I would name him Zhang Baiwan!"

  Maybe it's because I suddenly have money, but I've been nervous all morning, and my mind is not on the class, thinking about how to use this money, and how much to send back to my mother.

  At noon, I received a call from Mr. Qian, asking me to go to his house. As the saying goes, "Take people's money and treat their illnesses," this is a matter of course. Moreover, performing surgery on Shuyun's right leg won't take long. The sooner she has the surgery, the sooner she can escape her suffering, and I can also be at peace. So, I agreed to Mr. Qian and said I would arrive in half an hour.

  Because I was going for medical treatment, I didn't inform Zhang Yunhao and Wu Lele again, and went alone.

  Unexpectedly, when I arrived at Mr. Qian's house, Zhang Yunhao was also here, his face red and neck thick, as if he had just fought with someone. I asked him why he was also here, Zhang Yunhao said lightly that it was nothing, then put his hands in his pockets and said to Mr. Qian: "Since you don't believe me, I'll take my leave." After speaking, he left. Mr. Qian looked at Zhang Yunhao's back, seemingly thoughtful, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

  I shouted to Zhang Yunhao: "Let's go together later!" Zhang Yunhao waved his hand and walked away on his own. I asked Mr. Qian, what's wrong with my friend? Mr. Qian smiled and said it was nothing, then said he would take me to see someone. I asked him who the person was, and he said I would know when I saw them. I was puzzled - why did Mr. Qian, at his age, also like to be mysterious.

  Following Mr. Qian all the way to the pavilion, it wasn't until he saw the person sitting inside that he realized who he was being brought to see.

  It was that fish Daoist from last night.

  The Taoist was originally drinking tea, and when he heard our footsteps, he raised his head to look at us, then stared at me all the time. His eyes were too sharp, like a sharp blade, I was stared at with goosebumps all over my body, thinking that this stinky Taoist hadn't seen a handsome young man, why did he look at me so "greedily", too rude!

  He patted his hair, gritted his teeth and followed Mr. Qian into the teahouse. Before they sat down, Yu Daoist said: "Mr. Qian, you go ahead with your business first, I have something to say to this young man alone." Mr. Qian agreed, then looked at me and left.

  I'm extremely unhappy about this.

  How to say it? Maybe I'm a sensitive person, but Mr. Qian's gaze at me just now was extremely complex, with doubt, hostility, and even... contempt? It's really "the eyes are silent, but the meaning is profound". The enthusiasm and gratitude he showed me last night seem to have vanished.

  What's going on here?
