”Alright, I understand. I'll go ask him first.”
”Oh yeah, Sister Su Su, I heard that you are studying my master's mechanical technique?”
”Ah, that's right, I had never come into contact with such things before, so I was curious about them and asked a few more questions. I think it's okay, I can understand it for now. ”
Senior Yao Guang looked at me blankly for a long time. ”Sister Su Su, that book was not even the introduction to the mechanical technique …”
”Ah?” Isn't that the entrance? ” I looked at Senior Yao Guang in shock.
”Of course not. That book was a crystallization of all the blood and sweat of my master's life, and all of the records are extremely profound mechanical technique. This book is to be gifted to my master's future successor.”
You actually lied to me, Shaowu. You said that this is just an ordinary mechanical technique entrance exam.
”I will leave that book with Zhang Shaowu, if there's a chance, we can find a fated person to give it to, and treat it as my Gate of Heavenly Secrets's successor. I never thought that the fated person would be you, Su Su.”
That's right, I can be considered to have a destiny. I became some Gate of Heavenly Secrets's successor for no reason even though I didn't know anything.
”But my mechanical technique is very shallow, it might damage my sect's reputation …”
Morality is what is most important. If every disciple is like the Tianshuanzi, then Master will definitely be angered to death, and Master will already know about your fight with the Suburb of Suzhou, he has expressed his admiration for you, the successor. ”
”Where is Master? If I have the chance, I will definitely go back and visit him!” Hearing his words, Mo Ye actually felt that he was fit to be her disciple.
”Master has been in seclusion for a long time. If it wasn't for the special circumstances, even I wouldn't have been able to find him. This is a good opportunity.”
After opening the door to the new century, I will probably have to focus on studying the mechanical technique too. Otherwise, that old master Gate of Heavenly Secrets will probably scold me.
Before Gang Zi left, he left me a contact number. I called him and a lazy voice answered.
”Hey, who is it? I'm sleeping right now. How boring!”
Hearing Gang Zi's voice, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. ”Wake up quickly! I have something to trouble you with! ”
Hearing that it was my voice, the other side seemed to quiver and immediately sobered up. ”Ah! So it's my wife. I'm sorry about that, I fell asleep. What's the matter, my wife?”
”I heard you're well-informed?” I asked tentatively.
”That's true. I can't say that I know everything in the world, but it's more or less there. Sister-in-law, you can tell me whatever you want to know. I will tell you anything!”
This fellow's expression of loyalty was rather vague. ”Mm, help me pay attention to one thing …”
I told Gang Zi about the news that Senior Yao Guang got, and Gang Zi immediately became excited again.
”No problem, Sister-in-law!” ”Leave this to me! Sister-in-law, you have to promise me that this will be big news and that you will authorize me to have exclusive reporting rights on this news. Please don't let anyone other than me interview you!”
Is there anyone like you who would be so bored as to follow an interview?
However, she still agreed to him on the surface: ”When have I not let you interview me? Did I ever agree to an interview with someone else? Alright, alright, hurry up, I'll listen to your news!”
Gang Zi quickly hung up the phone, probably to gather more information.
”Is this person alright?” Zhang Shaowu said with his eyebrows knitted, probably because he heard that the tone on the phone was extremely unreliable.
”There's no problem with this person. Although he's a bit slow on normal days, he can gather some information that we want to know. There's still no problem. Let's wait for the news!”
As expected, not long after, news arrived.
”Sister-in-law, it's OK!” Do you really want to know? ”
Hearing Gang Zi's tone, I couldn't help but want to scold him: ”Hurry up and stop with the nonsense, if you want to say don't keep me in suspense, if you don't want to say I'm hanging up!”
Senior Yao Guang and Shaowugo at the side covered their mouths as they laughed heartily when they heard my conversation with Gang Zi, but they did not dare to make a sound.
”Oh no no, no hanging up, I'll tell you, Sister-in-law. This is an exclusive secret!” It's at the end of the month, the annual Middle Yuan Section. The yin qi is the heaviest one on this day, and it's said that many ghosts are making trouble even when the gates to hell are open on this day.
I calculated the date, the end of the month was indeed the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the Lunar Calendar, the legendary Ghost Festival. Although I previously knew that this holiday was the day to burn paper money for my deceased family, I didn't expect that there would be so many things to happen on this day.
”What does that Middle Yuan Section have to do with the investigation I asked you to do?”
”Don't be in such a hurry, Sister-in-law. I'll explain it to you slowly.” Do you know where the gates to hell are closed? Sister-in-law, it's Fengdu Ghost City! At the border between the Yin and Yang in the legends, if the Fengdu is unable to control it well and the Hundred Ghosts escapes, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
