C65 (1/2)
I held this portrait in both hands and looked at the goddess-like woman in it. Only then did I recall the unforgettable scene in my dream. I was shocked but at the same time, I couldn't help but lament the fickleness of the world. The Old Ancestor they speak of has actually become my guardian spirit? In that case, wouldn't I be even more imposing than their ancestor?
When I heard Qiyou talking about the back mountain of the school, I remembered that the oval faced girl had said that Lanlan and the others had found Qiyou's Spirit Urn at the back mountain of the school.
However, it's already so late. Speaking of letting me go to the back of the mountain alone, I feel a bit scared.
”Oh right, Soul Painter, what's your name?” I slowly walked out of the hotel room. Just as I was hesitating, Qiyou's voice sounded again.
”Ma Que, Ma Yun's horse, lacks money,” I suddenly replied.
”So it's a descendant of the Ma Family, no wonder …” Qiyou replied weirdly, immediately making me suspicious of him. When did our Ma Family become so famous that even Qiyou, the strongest of our ancestors, knew about us?
So I asked Qiyou: ”You recognize Ma Family?”
But, after I said those words, Qiyou did not make a sound, and I don't know if I heard or not, but I was too lazy to care about it, so I rolled up the drawing and headed towards the mountain behind Lanlan's school.
As Lanlan and the others were only a dozen or so minutes away from the school, it wasn't realistic to walk over. Thus, as soon as I went downstairs, I stopped two taxis and said that they were going to the mountain behind XX Academy, but what I didn't expect was that when the taxi driver heard me, his expression changed and he asked me in shock, ”What are you doing there in the middle of the night?”
I was in a hurry to go and come back earlier, but who would have thought that this teacher was such a scumbag? Thus, I snappily replied, ”Can't I just go to sleep there?”
The taxi driver laughed when he heard this. He sneered and said, ”Young man, your temper is quite impetuous. If you really dare to sleep there for the night, I'll give you the car.”
”What's wrong?” When I heard this, I was quite surprised. Thus, I didn't bother about the teacher's attitude and instead asked him about it.
Five years ago, it was still a cemetery. When we were building the school, we wanted to enclose this land as well, but as soon as we arrived, we dug out a lot of human bones, so we decided to just give up on it and let it be empty instead of a foot more.” At this point, the teacher turned off the car and looked at me with a smile that wasn't a smile.
When I heard this, I felt a chill run down my spine. The words ”unmarked cemetery” really stung my nerves. Although I didn't believe that there was a ghost here, I knew that it was the home of a weasel.
In the eyes of the world, weasels are a very special kind of group. The places where they are present are bound to be full of evil things.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, the taxi driver said, ”How is it, young man? Have you made up your mind?”
”Quickly go, I'm here, it's fine,” Qiyou's voice resounded in my ears. Although I knew that it shouldn't be a problem for her to deal with a mere ghost, it wasn't fake, and since I was feeling weak in my heart, I started to stutter a little. However, the moment I raised my head, I saw the taxi driver's slightly mocking gaze, and immediately became angry.
”Brat, you're being stubborn, but I don't believe you today. If you really dare to go, I won't take your money.” I didn't expect this taxi driver to actually say this. I was stunned for a moment before coldly laughing, ”Then thank you very much.”
With that, the taxi driver's face turned green and white. In the end, he took a taxi and headed towards the mountain behind Lanlan's school.
After a while, I could already see the entrance of Lanlan's school. Although I did not say anything, my heart was becoming more and more nervous, and did not know whether Qiyou, this great god, could be relied on or not, as I sat in the car uneasily and looked around from time to time.
”Young man, have you decided yet? There's still time to go back. I'll give you a discount and drag you back, okay?” The taxi driver's mouth still didn't stop, continuously fanning and igniting, causing my wavering heart to surge again.
However, a small matter like money or face was a big matter. There was no reason to swallow such sh * t back. Thus, I coldly looked at the taxi driver and said, ”Not going back.”
The taxi driver brought embarrassment to himself and didn't say anything else. However, I didn't know what he was thinking. From time to time, he would let out a cold snort, making me want to slap him twice.
”There's no more road ahead. Young man, you better take care of yourself.” It seemed that the taxi driver had really done what he said and didn't charge me money. After I got off the taxi, he chuckled and said something sinisterly before turning the car around and pushing the throttle away, leaving me in the dark and desolate wilderness.
Suddenly, I feel a little regretful. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have done such a thing. But now, it's impossible to back down now.
”What are you waiting for?” Qiyou's voice once again sounded, causing me to feel a bit depressed in my heart. I thought to myself, why is there so many things going on with this mother's skin?
But then he thought, didn't I have her? She's my guardian now, so it's impossible to just sit there and do nothing.
Although this idea was not very accurate, it was still effective. Thus, I called out softly, ”Immortal Master Qiyou?”
”Ma Que, you can just call me Qiyou.” Qiyou's cold voice rang out, calming me down a little, and thinking that she was still here, I gritted my teeth and directly walked into the depths of the rear mountain. Unexpectedly, before I could even take a few steps forward, Qiyou's voice rang out once again, ”Ma Que, you walked the wrong path, so it should be to the left.”
