”Su Su, come eat some buns, don't just stand by the door. We still have things to do after breakfast,” Zhang Shaowu beckoned me with a bun in his mouth.

”Is the Wu Qi you spoke of powerful?” I took a bun and chewed it carefully. The bun was very delicious. I didn't know where I bought it.

”His master is Old Daoist Mao Shan. He is the only disciple under his name. Now that his master is no longer around, he has more or less inherited some of his Tao technique.”

”What happened to his master?”

”I don't know the specifics either, but Wu Qi said that his master was injured by the evil ghost during a single mission, and the evil ghost tore his soul into pieces, causing Master Wu Qi, who had lost three souls, to become a fool. I don't know the specifics, but Wu Qi said that he had thought of a way to find his family, Wu Qi, but after a while, Wu Qi became numb, and he didn't try to find out what had happened, so that he could bring Wu Qi's master back home.

I saw that Zhang Shaowu doesn't really like to mention this matter, so I didn't ask too much. Right now, I can't even meddle in my own matters, do I still have the mood to care about others? All in all, he could only take one step at a time.

After eating breakfast, Zhang Shaowu and I drove to Wu Qi's house. The car turned left and right and stopped in the alley once more.

Zhang Shaowu raised his hand and knocked on the door three times. Then, he knocked on the door three times before bringing me in.

I asked curiously, Zhang Shaowu, why did he knock on the door thrice before knocking? Zhang Shaowu said that this was due to him respecting Master Wu Qi, although he had already left, his soul would still be in the courtyard, if he did not knock on the door then he would disturb the peace and quiet of the old man.

After hearing what Zhang Shaowu said, I was quite frightened. There couldn't be a ghost in this courtyard, right? I nervously pulled on Zhang Shaowu's sleeve, ”Do you think there is one here?

”Su Su, don't spout nonsense. Wu Qi's master is not an unclean thing, it can be counted as Wu Qi's Guardian Spirit, after a cultivator dies, he can exist in two forms: one is to protect the people and things he cherishes while alive, the other is to protect the existence of the true spirit. True spirits are similar to the deities in the sky, but the requirement for cultivation is extremely high; We came in courteously, and we recognized Wu Qi, so Wu Qi's master would not have any ill intentions towards us. ”

After hearing Zhang Shaowu's explanation, I felt relieved. Looks like it wasn't all ghosts that were Zhang Ziyuan's; wasn't Wu Qi's master a good ghost?

However, Wu Qi's house was really messy. There was everything in the courtyard, even broken stools, broken tables were casually placed in the courtyard. There was even a peach tree that looked to be quite old.

At first, I wanted to go and see if there was water inside, but when Zhang Shaowu realized what I was planning to do, he immediately pulled me back.

”Su Su, remember, the things here, do not move, do not look, this is a type of feng shui science, do not think that those chairs and tables that seem to be placed randomly are broken, that table and chairs are made from my peach wood and have the effect of driving ghosts away, so there are no ghosts in this courtyard, Wu Qi's master is a guardian spirit, the peach wood on the table is disagreeable to the spirit energy that Wu Qi's master would absorb, but this kind of place — if it is destroyed, it will very likely be the opposite. The well in the courtyard, I think that it has been lit up before.”
