Chapter 23: Return to Old Home in Changsha

  Firstly, it should start from twenty years ago, when I was just a few months old, so I opened the book and started writing:

  Twenty years ago, the yin energy was too heavy, wandering fortune tellers, cat's eye stone bracelets.

  2: Two years ago, our family suffered a huge change. Except for my dad and me, all other relatives died unexpectedly. We moved to Sichuan and met Song A, Song Zi, Su Dai, and Su Qi. (Song Zi and Su Qi voluntarily left with an American)

  Three months ago, Dad was captured and went missing, and Song A, Su Dai and I fought for the first time.

  4: Wu Ma You and Su Dai were dragged away by a snake, Song A "disappeared" and would turn into a giant snake with the face of Song Zi, recording about the eternal dragon stone carving, human skin blood book (cat eye stone bracelet first appeared in Qin Shi Huang period).

  5: Pei Zi acted as a guide to lead my dad and others to find the ancient tomb, where they met Wu Ma You. Pei Zi led the way, and together they went to their destination at that time. A monster with peeled skin, having blood-red hair that bites people.

  6: Saved by lemon, someone impersonated my dad, black key, unexpectedly knew the secret of cat's eye stone bracelet, is my dad deceiving me? There is no fortune-telling master who wanders around? Found out that someone has been monitoring me, Song Ah (most likely), Su Dai and Pei Zi gang (uncertain)

  7: Su Dai was possessed, encountered a trap, and halfway out, a fairy appeared. He also knew about my dad's matter (the black key). In the coffin lay an "undead person". The "undead person" said something to Ning Meng before disappearing. Ning Meng climbed to the top, where the coffin hung, and found a blood corpse (inferring that he might have taken something important from it).

  They approached me, wanting to know about the black key, and possibly also to use me as a threat against my dad.

  Lemon disappeared, Su Dai disappeared, and everyone else dispersed on their own.

  I've skipped over some unimportant details and only written down these nine key points, which are the things that I'm thinking about the most right now and also the most confusing, it's giving me a headache...

  But I still forced myself to connect all these clues together, and in the end, there were only two possibilities that I could think of:

  Firstly, I was indeed born with a heavier yin energy, and the fortune teller gave me a cat's eye stone bracelet. Two years ago, except for my dad and me, all other relatives died unexpectedly.

  Then, my dad was targeted because of a black key in his hand. Also because he was good at fighting, he was caught and used as a shield, but they didn't get any clues about the black key from him, so they thought it was hidden with me. Qing Ning and Xian Xian came to Hei Zhu Gou also to find something important, maybe the black key or something else. Song A and Su Dai might be the ones monitoring me, Pei Zi and Wu Ma You's appearance is too coincidental, can't determine their purpose for now.

  The first possibility is not very practical, so I still tend to the second one, that is, my dad cheated me, and the cat's eye stone bracelet was actually made for me, but why he hid it from me is unknown.

  There has been a force secretly eyeing my family, they desperately want the black key in my dad's hands, but he refused to give it to them. So they resorted to harming my loved ones, and my dad had no choice but to take me away from Changsha. However, that force somehow managed to disguise themselves as my neighbors, they started getting close to me two years ago, even hiding their true strength and pretending to be ordinary people in an attempt to gain my trust.

  But they still didn't get what they wanted, so they lost their patience. First, they took my dad away to help them with things, and later perhaps because my dad was restless, they found a way to approach me to warn my dad!

  My dad tried his best to keep me out of this, but they deliberately pulled me in. Now that our Feng family has no one else who can be used as a threat against my dad except for me, they won't let me go. If it doesn't work this time, there will be a second and third time. I'll never know if the person next to me is someone sent to spy on me.

  Judging from everyone's reaction in the tomb, I'd rather believe Qing a bit more. As long as I pay attention and ask around about Master Qing, I should be able to know what's going on with him, so he shouldn't have any reason to deceive me.

  If Pei Zi said he always comes and goes alone, then they shouldn't be in the same group. And judging from Song Ah and Xianxian's reactions, it's also possible that they're not in the same group. Because a person's reaction, even if it's fake, will still have a moment of carelessness, but they didn't. Their feelings towards Qing Ning are like a mix of love and hate, perhaps because Qing Ning is neutral, he doesn't help either side, only doing things for himself.

  Now that's settled, things will be easier from now on. Next, I must go back to my hometown in Changsha for a trip. Those who are not used to writing about the underworld usually build an underground secret room or a place in their home that leads to the underground, and maybe there is an ancient tomb down there. So I have to go back for a trip. There must be something I overlooked in between, or perhaps it's something I don't know at all!

  I must know which tomb my father went to rob, where did the black key come from, why so many people want to get it, is it just having that key can open a door and see something, and finally make people "immortal"? I think this thing can't be so simple!

  Thinking of this, I couldn't wait to go back, so I resolutely went through the discharge procedures. Now I'm in Leshan, so I took a bus to the train station and booked a 7 pm ticket, then waited there. In the meantime, I transferred twice and spent nearly 400 yuan. I was a bit heartbroken because my bank card only had about 10,000 yuan left, which I had saved myself while studying. This is already a considerable income for a student like me.

  But subtracting the 2,000 yuan spent on equipment and the 1,000 yuan paid to Wu Ma You for helping find a grave site, after traveling and staying overnight, a total of nearly 4,000 yuan was spent. The remaining 5,000 yuan is still not enough for the next trip. Now I'm just waiting for Wu Ma You to hurry up and buy things and transfer the money to me. Thinking about it makes me feel painful, so I won't mention this nonsense anymore. Anyway, I traveled all the way until I finally arrived in Changsha at around 10:30 on the third day.

  I didn't even have time to rest, and I took a taxi directly to my hometown. My hometown is still the house left by our ancestors, which is very large and has been thoroughly renovated, so my father and uncle live inside. The once lively house is now empty, thinking of this, my heart felt another wave of sorrow, and I unknowingly fell asleep in the car.
