I originally thought that my words would be effective, but the shadow seemed to move even more agitatedly.
If not for that purple-red amulet, she would surely have run out again!
The heart of compassion was subdued.
After putting on my clothes, I was walking towards the window when I happened to see my mother walking out of the hotel door, heading in a certain direction.
I was just wondering.
My door, however, was being knocked loudly.
After opening it, my father stood at the door.
Before I could ask, he said, "Your mother has gone out. Since there's such a large talisman array there, something must have happened in the town. We can't get them to talk by listening, questioning, and feeling, but we can find out from elsewhere."
I nodded, indicating that I understood.
A slight weight settled on my shoulders, it was Old Gong appearing on my shoulder.
"The three little Taoists have reported to the mountain, causing them to send someone down. In just a while, this town will be in a mess. Although the matter has not been completed, it has caused confusion, bad luck indeed."
Old Gong mumbled continuously in his mouth.
My heart sank again, yet even so, there was no good way out.
"At most, a day. The Jiuqu mountain is still so large." My father narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression seemed somewhat gloomy.
"Within one day, when your mother has explored some news, we will decide whether to forcefully open the symbol array and take out Qi Yōu Yōu's head. As for the evil things under the symbol array, they are just left for the Taoists who have come from Juqu Mountain. It is not necessary, but we must do it."
"This..."
"For a moment, I was hesitant."
The attitude of Juqu Mountain towards us is already difficult to handle. This matter is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
It's impossible to kill to silence them, as the three of them recognize who we are.
Because it is basically impossible for us to subdue them silently and without being noticed.
"Dad patted me on the shoulder and said, "First solve our own troubles, as long as the other things are not serious, it is still solvable." I smiled awkwardly.
At this point, my dad mentioned again that my mom was definitely able to find out some things because she was looking for the guide they had used back then.
Even if there are orientations at Jiuqu Mountain, they need to be matched with guides to find the location of the tomb the fastest way.
I did not speak much, only nodded my head.
My father went back to his room, and I sat down by the bed, practicing qigong quietly.
As usual, Lao Gong went to the window, turning his head in circles, and constantly looking outside.
I don't know how long it has been, but suddenly I woke up.
Opening my eyes, to my surprise, Lao Gong was hovering in front of me, his eyes wide with a fierce gaze, continuously glancing outside as if to signal me to look out the window.
"Mm?" I was slightly confused, standing up and walking to the window.
At a glance, I saw a Taoist in the middle of the road, walking towards the depths of the town.
The Taoist was extremely tall and walked with a breeze.
His black hair was neatly organized on top of his head, and although he looked young, it gave people a sense of majesty.
"My heart shrank," I said. "So quickly?"
"It's not that simple..." Lao Gong trembled.
I asked him what it meant.
Lao Gong's face was tight, and he said, "You know him."
I didn't react for a moment, and Lao Gong continued, "That thing, your master took out from the underground after you died. Heavenly Lord, that evil thing... it actually came to Jiuqu Mountain!"
In fact, the current situation before my eyes left me uncertain about how to make a decision, causing me to feel distressed and vexed in my heart.
Lao Gong's words suddenly made me feel as if I were in an ice cave, my limbs going completely numb.
"Impossible!" This was my first reaction.
Following that, I broke out in a cold sweat, and my back was completely soaked.
The feeling that arose in my heart was one of horror, even more limitless...
The words of my parents have made me realize the connection between the deal I made with Youyang Jū!
Lao Gong wouldn't say something out of the blue.
That really is the body of an underground master possessed by a pestilence ghost!
He would naturally be trusted when he returns to Jiuqu Mountain.
Jiuqu Mountain would not consider him to be a pestilence ghost, but as their own deceased elder Taoist.
The pestilence ghost wouldn't expose himself...
Jinyang, isn't it enough for him to cause trouble?
In the distance, the Taoist stopped his steps, and he did not turn his head.
But I noticed that it was my mother who passed by him.
He was staring at my mother!
The coldness grew more intense, and I slapped the Gao Tianshu!
However, he didn't do anything; my mother left.
"Relax, master... He hasn't seen your lord and lady before. When he was on your body, you were an orphan."
Lao Gong's words were as biting as ever.
I felt as if I couldn't stand anymore.
I originally thought that as long as things went according to plan, we could assemble forces to deal with the pestilence ghost, but I didn't expect his actions to be even faster and more terrifying!
If Jiuqu Mountain were to be in trouble, what Taoist temple would be able to deal with him?
"No, I want to see Master Mao Su. My breathing was a bit heavy, I turned around and immediately left the room to knock on my father's door."
He just opened the door, and a person rushed out from the position of the corridor, isn't that my mother?
My mother's face was flushed with unease, and when she saw my father and me, the unease on her face actually increased even more.
"What's the matter, Qing'er? Why are you in such a hurry?" My father looked slightly puzzled.
"Don't worry about the future, Qing'er. Any action has its price, at least now your parents have to consider it for you." My father said to me again.
"He...is back..." My mother interrupted my father directly, saying the situation in three sentences.
Indeed, what she said was about the body of the underground master they had taken away back then.
My father's face turned pale.
After my mother paused, I spoke up and told them about the pestilence ghost.
This was no longer just shock; my father's face had turned colorless, and his eyes were filled with terror.
"Let's leave here!" He spoke without hesitation, decisively.
My mother only just react, panic was a hundred times more intense than before.
"Don't be overconfident, Qingxin. The situation may change. Put Qi Youyou aside temporarily and find your senior master first!" My father said in a serious tone, "Give me the phone, I will contact him!"
For a moment, I was silent.
"Yes, Qingxin... Tell your senior master about the situation, let him tell the Taoists of Jiuqu Mountain that there is a problem within their own ranks, which is more convincing." My mother said immediately.
Lao Gong nodded his head down, indicating his agreement with them.
I furrowed my brow, and only then took out my phone. However, I didn't let my father make the call. I placed the phone to my ear and repeatedly calmed down my breaths, trying to regulate my emotions.
However, He You'tian's phone was turned off continuously, so I immediately dialed the phone number of Si Yan.
The phone rang for a while before it was finally answered.
However, on the other side, it was not Si Yan, but a strange female voice.
"That is Luo Xiang Shen?" The female voice had a hint of coldness.
"Who are you?" I felt a slight weight in my heart.
However, she didn't answer me and directly hung up the phone.
Although the phone wasn't on speaker mode, my parents clearly heard.
"It seems... the situation at Sigu Mountain isn't as simple as we thought. Their situation might not be too good." My father shook his head, and his brows were knitted tightly together.
