This, perhaps, is the real sense in which my confrontation with Qi Yoyo and I look at each other.
The first glance.
"Mm." I nodded.
"When a group of Daoists from Juxueshan arrived here, I will see you off."
The entire territory is under Qi Yoyoyo's control, so it's not strange that she knows about my conversation with Old Gong.
"Thank you," I replied.
For a moment, everything was quiet.
Qi Yoyoyo kept looking at me, silently, her gaze making me feel uneasy.
Taking two steps back, I slightly stepped away from the door.
"Someone has left something for you, she told me."
Qi Yoyoyo pointed to her chest.
I suddenly understood, she meant the part of my soul that had been staying in the back mountain.
"Thank you."
I bowed with both hands, appearing respectful and courteous.
Qi Yoyoyo raised her leg and kicked Old Gong on the head. He flew through the air and landed in the flower bed.
The door creaked and closed.
Old Gong appeared on my shoulder, his eyes dazed as if he couldn't recover his senses for a long time.
"The little miss without a head, she's also good-hearted. She broke the engagement, it was letting you off the hook, or she might have kept you, after all, her fiancé, Gui Wangyuan, has been reincarnated and can't accompany her to live together."
"But sir, you can't stay here to be a siege husband. Let's go."
Old Gong's gaze was fixed on a certain direction.
That spot was surrounded by a faint mist of blue and white, a blurry figure about to lead the way forward.
I remained silent, following the misty shadow forward.
This corridor led to a place I had never been before, an absolute unknown.
I entered a lonely small courtyard. Although it was small, it had all the essentials. There was a particularly numerous and distinct artificial mountain with babbling water.
The room was open, a long table in the middle with complicated paintings above it, only half done.
Something has been left for me.
This "someone" refers to Lao Qin.
His legacy is in this nightmare!
The blue and white mist disappeared, indicating that Qi Yoyoyo only knows the location of the heritage but not its exact position.
"Old Gong, find it out." I called out loudly.
I slowly entered the house and sat down on a chair.
The injury was too severe; after walking for a while, I was about to collapse...
I originally wanted to take another blood pill, but there were only two left. The situation of my parents is not clear yet, and I need to keep them.
"It's a loss..." Old Gong glanced around, muttering: "That 'Jizi' should have been swallowed directly when the fireworks were lit. After all, the girl without a head would have made a move and wouldn't let Mao Yi get the upper hand."
I didn't respond because there's no such thing as assuming things or knowing too much in advance.
I kept calming my breaths and began to meditate in a cross-legged position.
Old Gong is good at finding things. He gave me those medicines and soaked them in water to fundamentally change my constitution. As long as they don't kill me all at once, there's always a chance for recovery.
Closing my eyes, I muttered the incantation with concentration, immersed myself in meditation.
"Will you leave?"
A voice suddenly popped up in my ear.
I startled and immediately widened my eyes.
At this moment, Old Gong happened to land in front of me. He was stunned for a moment and suspiciously looked at me.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"Did you hear something?" I tightened my pupil.
"Nothing..." Old Gong shook his head, saying: "There's only you here, and I'm just one ghost."
Silence, and my brow furrowed.
After closing my eyes again, the voice hasn't appeared since then.
That's not the voice of Qi Yoyo.
I am more certain that it was not the voice of anyone I have heard before, including that of a Taoist.
Since I am now in Qi Yoyo's Nightmare Dreamland, any problems should be relatively small even if there is a slight issue.
Soon, I immersed myself in meditation again.
"You can't get away."
The voice is as close as being right by your ear!
More like roaring in my mind!
I abruptly opened my eyes again, one hand tightly covering my chest, gasping heavily.
Lao Gong is no longer in the room. I saw his head rolling around in the courtyard without achieving anything for a while.
He glanced at me sideways and shouted: "Wait a moment, it's not that fast, sir."
Lao Gong's reaction...
He didn't hear the voice at all!
Sweat beads trickled down my forehead. I hesitantly looked around.
There's nothing in the room...
I didn't say anything. At this moment, the problem has already arisen, and it's better not to interrupt Lao Gong in finding the heritage.
"A Taoist is a Taoist, no matter what, he is a Taoist!"
This time, I didn't meditate. The voice exploded from behind me, like a bell!
The chilling feeling rushed up again.
I drew out the high sky sword and slashed hard backwards!
A slicing sound through the air, but there was nothing behind me, nothing injured!
I don't want to interrupt Lao Gong, but the voice is too enigmatic and I have to take action...
"Sir! What's wrong?"
At this moment, Lao Gong is in the water tank under the artificial mountain, where the flowing water hits his head.
He glanced at me with one eye, showing great alertness, while the other eye was still focused on the artificial mountain.
"Search! Faster!" My eyelids were twitching.
This place is too weird...
We must leave as soon as possible!
Lao Gong seemed to have sensed something, becoming focused and no longer talking nonsense.
"What kind of Tao are you searching for?"
The voice suddenly appeared again in my ear, sounding very tired and indifferent.
Ridges of goosebumps kept popping up.
I tightly held the high heaven sword at the heart.
It's a justifiable weapon to eliminate ghosts and expel demons. On another level, it is also a protective charm...
"Tao..."
The voice once again sounds, but it becomes very weak and indistinct...
The sound of water splashing, it was Lao Gong diving into the bottom of the pool, his head disappeared.
I had intended to leave the room, but for some reason, I looked at the table, at the unfinished landscape painting...
Lao Qin left things at Luo's villa that were very subtle, almost like a secret room.
The letter left at the back mountain was even more mysterious, indicating it by his dead body.
He hid the heritage... it seems to have nothing to do with feng shui.
Yes, he wanted me to find it, why would he let others get it first!
I thought that Lao Gong, who is good at finding things, might have taken the second place…
Frowning, I racked my brains.
The heritage is crucial, and it should only be found by me alone.
What is it that only I can find?
I settled my mind and felt that I could hear the voice, as if it were interfering with me.
The existence of the high heaven sword made the voice weaker, and once I got used to it, the interference disappeared.
Looking around the room again, there were paintings of mountains and rivers on the walls, exuding a sense of a great scholar.
After pondering for a moment, I left the main hall and checked the other rooms.
The room to the right is for living, but it's not where Lao Qin is staying. It should be a woman's room.
I paused for a moment and didn't leave the room. Instead, I meticulously searched the room.
