Chapter 29: Encounter with Strangers

  Old Guo still didn't say a word, he just walked to the place where the corpse disappeared last time and took a look. At this moment, Kong Yiyi also arrived at the bottom of the grave. Seeing Kong Yiyi here, I didn't want to say more either. After all, the things that Old Guo had been hiding and concealing, he probably didn't want others to know about them either.

  Soon, Zhao Feiyu also came down from above. When he saw the dense fine needles, Zhao Feiyu suddenly asked me: Last time, why weren't there so many needles?

  I rolled my eyes at Zhao Feiyu and said irritably: Who am I supposed to ask if you're asking me?

  Zhao Feiyu looked at me with a strange gaze, walked up to me and patted my head, asking: "Are you stupid? Bai Ji has been here for so long, if I had to say who's the most familiar, it would definitely be her."

  I was just about to say that Baiji followed Dong Qingzi, but Guo Lao Tou said indifferently: "Baiji won't understand this place." Old Mu brought Baiji here at the time only for a protective purpose. If this tomb is attacked, Baiji will appear. Last time, when Huang Shi Bo came with his men, the deaths of several people here were probably caused by Baiji. However, Huang Shi Bo's skills are not something that Baiji can stop.

  Kong Yi furrowed his brow after hearing Old Man Guo's words, and he moved his lips but couldn't say anything. Zhao Feiyu was the same, looking like he had questions to ask but unable to speak. I looked at both of them and guessed that our three people had the same question.

  Why is Old Guo so familiar with this place?

  I walked up to Old Guo and asked him, "You said this is a tomb, but I didn't see any entrance at all. Besides, last time Flying Cloud and I came in, they died on that step. That step didn't have an array."

  Mr. Guo looked at me and raised an eyebrow, saying: Why are you so sure?

  "There's no blood. It's that simple. The last time we came in, there wasn't a single drop of blood here! Based on this alone, I can conclude that there was no needle at the time." I said to Old Man Guo with a serious tone.

  Old Guo heard my words and just chuckled. I pulled out the meteorite from my waist and walked towards the stairs. He seemed to want to verify something for us. Zhao Feiyu and Kong Yi walked to my side, watching Old Guo's upcoming experiment with tension.

  Guo Lao Tou drew a small cut on his finger with the meteorite, and I could see fresh blood seeping out of the wound. I didn't know why Guo Lao Tou did this, just as I was about to speak, my ghost eye saw something!

  It was from under that step, something was slowly emerging! It seemed to have discovered something and rushed towards the fresh blood between Old Guo's fingers!

  A drop of fresh blood dripped from Old Guo's finger, and the little demon opened its mouth to catch it steadily. The little demon seemed not satisfied enough, and stretched out its tongue to lick Old Guo's wound again. Zhao Feiyu couldn't bear it anymore, picked up his duster and hit the little demon with it.

  With just one strike, that little demon was reduced to nothing but ash and smoke.

  Guo Lao Tou took out a talisman and calmly stuck it on his wound. He looked up at me and asked, "Do you understand why there's no blood now?"

  I had no idea there was such a big mystery here. For a moment, I couldn't say anything, but Old Guo calmly walked back and sat down on the ground, looking at us and pointing to that step: "That place is connected to the cave in Heizhugou."

  The three of us were shocked when we heard this, and our faces all showed some astonishment. Heizigou is far from Xi'an, how could it be connected to here? I didn't understand what Old Guo meant, but I figured out why Old Guo wanted to get rid of Dong Qingzi.

  "How are we going down?" Kong looked at the stairs and frowned.

  Mr. Guo stopped talking and closed his eyes, sitting in the same place as if he had fallen asleep. The three of us looked at each other in confusion, really not understanding what was going on!

  I crouched down and patted Guo Lao's shoulder, but he fell backwards like a dead man. Zhao Feiyu quickly rushed forward and caught Guo Lao, placing his fingers on Guo Lao's pulse, his brow furrowed in concern.

  "What's going on?" Kong Yī also anxiously asked.

  "There's a pulse... " Zhao Feiyu raised his head and looked at me and Kong Yi, with some confusion in his eyes. "It doesn't seem like he's asleep either, this reaction... it's just like... just like..."

  Zhao Feiyu seemed to be very taboo about those few words, but both Kong Yat and I understood what Zhao Feiyu wanted to say.

  Mr. Guo's reaction at the time was as if he had died.

  The three of us discussed it and decided to bring Old Guo back. We'll talk about it when he wakes up. Not long after we got back, I was preparing to go out and find Dong Qingzi.

  Zhao Feiyu looked at me and said somewhat embarrassedly: I've caused you trouble.

  He waved his hand and said: If it weren't for them at that time, we would be the ones lying here now.

  Zhaoyi thought of saying something, I patted his shoulder and smiled at him. As soon as I walked into the house, I could see Zhaoyi's formation. Hundred Ghosts Formation, Zhaoyi had also spent a lot of money on it. If someone came in and touched the formation eye, then he would not be able to come out alive.

  I and Kong Yat went out of the door, and began to use our spiritual senses to feel the direction of the dragon's pulse. The place where Huai Shu Village is located has countless small hills, not high, but many. I and Kong Yat followed these small hills, advancing towards the dragon's head.

  I don't know how long I walked, but then I seemed to hear people talking in front of me.

  "This dragon vein is so hard to grasp, and we still can't get it back. Mr. Huang won't exhaust us to death, that's for sure."

  "That's right. And that woman from just now, she seemed to be heading for Longmai as well?"

  I was originally taking an attitude of well water not offending river water, but as soon as Kong Yizi heard the news about Dong Qingzhi in the conversation between the two people, his emotional fluctuations were a bit big.

  I and Kong Yi tacitly hid behind the tree, eavesdropping on the conversation of the two people in front. After a while, I learned some news. These two people were sent by Huang Shi Bo.

  When I heard the three words "Huang Shi Bo", I thought to myself, why didn't my dad kill him?!

  "Mr. Huang said that he will be here the day after tomorrow, if we still can't find the dragon vein in these two days, then we are really done for."

  "But the dragon vein has always been moving, and we can't find it even if we want to! Now there are only two of us, do we have to run all over the mountains? Besides, I heard that this time not only Mr. Huang is coming, but also Mr. Mu!"

  I thought for a moment, the Mr. Mu they mentioned, apart from my dad Mu Rong Xing, who else could it be? However, when I heard that there were only two of them, I nodded slightly towards Kong. Kong understood my meaning in an instant.

  Kong Yizi walked towards those two people with a bright and upright attitude. I, on the other hand, continued to hide in the dark and watch the show.

  Kong Yizi walked up to the two men and looked at them before opening his mouth to ask: Are you the people sent by Mr. Huang?

  When they heard Mr. Huang's three words, the two men immediately stood up and bowed to him in unison. After they stood up, I also got a clear look at the two men, whom I had never seen before.

  "Master, who are you?" The two men immediately clasped their hands together and became extremely reverent.

  With a pair of empty hands clasped together, he chanted a Buddhist mantra: "Amitabha Buddha. My Dharma name is Kong Yi, and I was sent by Master Mu Rong Xing to assist in finding the dragon pulse. According to Master Mu, you have been searching for many days without any progress, so I came to urge you on. Do either of you have any news?

  One of the slightly taller men immediately replied after hearing Kong Yi's words: Master, it's not that my brother and I didn't look for a place, but our strength is limited! We don't know who set up an array around the dragon vein, we can't find where the dragon vein is at all! And just now, a woman appeared here, holding a talisman in her hand. At a glance, I saw that the talisman was to tame the dragon vein, but ordinary people can't draw such a talisman. My brother and I were about to look for help, and Master happened to come!

  When I heard this, I was quite pleased. Kong Yizi is actually very professional at acting, and when he's no longer in this circle, introducing him to the entertainment industry wouldn't be bad either.

  I slowly walked out and saw him nodding at me. The two brothers, seeing me, immediately asked nervously: Is this person also sent by the higher-ups?

  I nodded and smiled, saying: Of course. I heard your conversation with Kong Yi just now, Long Mai and I will think of a way, as for you two, just tell us about the recent events that have happened.

  Just as Gao Ge was about to speak, the person beside him pulled his clothes and looked at us vigilantly, saying: "How can I trust you two?"

  I chuckled and crossed my arms, looking at them with a nonchalant expression, asking: "So, what is it that you two want to know?"

  "Are you from Jianghe?" The slightly shorter man looked at me and Kong Yi, then asked again.

  "It's just nature." Kong started to turn his prayer beads slowly and said calmly.

  "Whose man are you?" The slightly shorter person continued to ask.

  "Mr. Mu Rong Xing." I looked at them with a half smile and said.

  That slightly short man looked at me and frowned, saying: "Just mention one of Mr. Mu Rong Xing's usual hobbies."

  Kong Yizi looked at me with some difficulty, but I said lightly: His greatest hobby is drawing talismans. Mr. Mu's skills on the talisman paper are not what you and I see. If your eyesight is good enough, the talisman paper that woman was holding just now when she passed by is drawn by Mr. Mu. That woman stole Mr. Mu's talisman, I want to go get it back. You two point me in the direction.

  The slightly shorter man wanted to say something, but the tall one pulled him back and glared at him. Then the tall one pointed down a small path and said: The woman ran in this direction.

  I nodded, but I could clearly feel that the dragon vein was not going in the direction of Dong Qizong's path. On the contrary, it was another road.

  Kong Yat also felt the same problem, but we both continued walking expressionlessly towards the direction that person pointed out to me.

  I hadn't gone far when I turned around and found that those two people had vanished.

  I smiled and understood that the two of them had set us up. Kong Yi shrugged his shoulders, chanted a Buddhist mantra and said: "Please forgive me, Buddha, but today I must take lives."

  "Are you saying others are deceiving you? Are you going to start killing?" I gave a cold glance and walked away.

  "I'm just saying, going along with the atmosphere." Kong Yike shrugged pitifully and followed in my footsteps.
