The gossip-loving, complaint-filing Old Ancestor VS the hilarious, dandy Young Master (also the Grandmaster of the Xuanmen).
Qi Jing is the thousand-year-old ancestor of the Qi family, summon...
Feeling the warmth coming from the copper coin, Gu Zhou felt uneasy and exhaled heavily, "Thank you, Master, for saving my life."
Gu Zhou was really feeling aggrieved. Although he was not conscious during the period of coma, he could clearly feel that he was either floating or trapped in a dark place, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.
After waking up, he heard Lin Shuqing say that they had asked many masters for help but none of them could help, but Qi Jing summoned his soul back in an instant.
Qi Jing frowned. He didn't like the title of "Master" very much. He quietly retreated behind Qi Mo, pinching Qi Mo's clothes at the waist and looking at Gu Zhou with only his head exposed. "It's too early to thank you. Your destiny has been taken away by someone. Now you won't be unlucky if you just share your luck with me. But you have to follow me and can't stay too far away. Wait until I find a way to get your destiny back."
"I'm lucky enough to wake up. These aren't problems." Gu Zhou was very open-minded. He raised his left hand and shook it. "This is so unlucky. Even the needle can't penetrate. As long as I follow the master, I won't have any bad luck. I can hang on the master."
Qi Mo coughed as a reminder, "He is my elder, and also yours, don't make such jokes."
Gu Zhou smiled and said, "I'm just scared, aren't I? Brother Qi, you don't even know how long I was trapped in that dark place. If it weren't for that figure, I would have died."
Qi Jing was puzzled and asked, "What figure?"
"It's just a figure. I can't see it clearly. Anyway, when the black energy rushes towards me, the figure will appear and help me fight it back." Gu Zhou frowned, "It seems to be an ancient person. The clothes are obviously different from us."
Ancient people? Qi Mo instinctively looked at Qi Jing behind him, and frowned again at his clothes. "Why are you dressed like this?"
Qi Jing sighed, "I'll tell you later. That ancient man must be your family's ancestor, otherwise you would have died long ago."
Gu Zhou was still curious, "So ghosts really exist? Then should I go and pay my respects to my ancestors?"
"Bye, give more tribute." Qi Jing muttered, tugging at Qi Mo's clothes, "Go back to see the Second Master."
Qi Mo agreed, refused Lin Shuqing's offer to see him off, and returned to the ward with Qi Jing.
There were many people in the ward at this moment. Seeing that Qi Jun, who was originally dying, suddenly became energetic, they all had their own thoughts.
Qi Jing ignored those people and went straight to Qi Jun. "How do you feel?"
"Much better. He'll be discharged tonight." Qi Jun patted his hand and asked, "How's the Gu family? I heard that kid Gu Zhou is awake?"
"Well, my destiny was taken away from me, and now it's tied to my luck."
Qi Jun nodded and said to the people in the ward, "Qi Jing is a descendant of the Qi family's Taoist lineage. All members of the Qi family must respect and protect him. Anyone who violates this will be expelled from the Qi family and will not be tolerated!"
Although Qi Jun is over a hundred years old, he has always been in good health. He is also the elder and head of the Qi family. Although the Qi family members have many concerns, they dare not resist and all agree honestly.
Seeing that everyone was behaving well, Qi Jun softened his serious expression and said to Qi Mo, "Take him back and settle him down first. Tell the Gu family that since our fates are connected, let's stay at the ancestral home together for a while."
"Yes, Great Grandpa."
Qi Mo agreed respectfully, took Qi Jing out of the ward again, went downstairs to pick up Gu Zhou and returned to the Qi family's ancestral home.
Qi Jing was so cold after being blown all the way back that he almost fell down. It was Qi Mo who pulled him up.
Qi Jing sighed and trotted into the villa wrapped in his military coat. Because Qi Jun had instructed him before, the family had prepared his room early.
Qi Jing took Qi Mo and helped him understand how to use the water heater. Then he took a shower, changed into clean and fresh clothes, and went downstairs.
With her long wet hair draped over her body, Qi Jing ran downstairs. Qi Mo and Gu Zhou were sitting on the sofa talking.
It was basically Gu Zhou who was talking and asking about Qi Jing. He felt that Qi Jing was too young and how could he have such abilities.
Gu Zhou was lying on the sofa, swinging his legs. "I could hear the Second Master's voice at that time, but I couldn't get out. I thought I was hopeless. I didn't expect your uncle to be so capable and break that formation. Could this be the chosen one?"
I didn't believe it before, but now I have to believe it after experiencing it myself. And what about that Xuanmen? So many people have come and nothing can stop them. My uncle must be some kind of hermit master, right?
Qi Mo didn't want to pay attention. When he heard Qi Jing coming down the stairs, he looked up and saw him standing up with wet hair loose. He took the towel that had been prepared long ago and wrapped it around the wet hair, wiping it bit by bit.
Qi Jing sat obediently on the sofa and let Qi Mo do what he wanted behind him. He asked, "Did Xuanmen say anything?"
Qi Mo replied, "Uncle Gu just called and said that human bones were found in the walls and floors, and that there were also items from the tomb among the ornaments. The Xuanmen people wanted to take the items away for investigation, but Uncle Gu stopped them."
"It's obvious that someone wants to harm the Gu family, otherwise they wouldn't have set up the formation so precisely. And I don't seem to sense the aura of the house-guarding treasure." Qi Jing said, looking at Gu Zhou, "Where's the tripod in your house?"
Gu Zhou cocked his head and said, "The tripod has been moved back to the old house."
"No, if Ding was here, your family wouldn't be in this state. At least you wouldn't have lost your soul. When did your family start to have bad luck?"
Gu Zhou thought about it carefully, "It started about five years ago, when I was fourteen. At that time, I was the only one who was unlucky, and my family was fine. The whole family started to have bad luck after we moved to that villa. Except for my mom, my dad and two uncles also had bad luck. Second Master said that my mom had the jade plaque passed down from our ancestors, so she was fine."
Five years ago?
Qi Jing tilted his head and thought for a moment, then looked carefully at Gu Zhou's face, "Did you know that your father had a daughter who died young?"
Speaking of this, Gu Zhou got angry and sat up. "That's not my dad's fault. It was that woman who drugged my dad and used the child to force them to divorce. That's why my dad paid that woman to abort the child."
"Five years ago?"
Gu Zhou hummed, then felt something was wrong, "It can't be that our family is in trouble because of this, right?"
"It can't be that simple, otherwise what's going on with that evil formation?" Qi Jing counted on his fingers, his brows furrowed tighter the more he counted. "That woman was also plotted. Little Fuxing was supposed to be reborn in your family. But now it's wrong. That woman took your mother's things and tricked Little Fuxing into being reborn in the wrong family."
Gu Zhou was puzzled, "What little lucky star?"
Qi Jing ignored Gu Zhou. He took out the copper coins, picked up three of them and shook them in his hand.
Sprinkling the copper coins, Qi Jing looked at the hexagram and tilted his head in thought. It was not too late. Qi Jing took back the copper coins and said to Gu Zhou, "Send your mother over. It's very important."
Gu Zhou nodded and immediately took out his cell phone to call Lin Shuqing.
