Chapter 237 Night Walk

Stop kidding me. Saying such creepy things gives me the creeps, and it's already evening.

What's going on tonight? Nighttime is usually so lively, a time for ghosts and humans to roam.

"I'm turning off your phone. If you still believe those online scammers, believe me, I'll slap you."

"Ha!" Dang Ping rubbed his thigh. "No, we need to go to the hospital."

“If you leave this gate, the injuries you suffer on the road will be far more than these.” Gu Yunxi’s voice came through the camera again.

"You're just spouting nonsense, I don't believe you!"

Dang Ping got up and forcibly pulled his son out the door. As soon as the two stepped into the elevator, it broke down and a foul smell wafted out.

It took more than 20 minutes to recover. When they got out of the elevator, the two of them almost thought they were dead.

"This is just the beginning. Don't you want to hear what I have to say? The way you treat the old Red Army soldier, even if he didn't do anything himself, his merits could wipe out your whole family. After all, isn't your current success all thanks to him?"

Dang Ping grabbed the phone. "Is everything you said true?" he asked tentatively.

How could such a bizarre thing happen in the world? Superstition is completely unbelievable, especially since he is a member of the Communist Party.

"Is it true? Don't you already know in your heart? Aren't all the things that have happened to your family, your wife, you, and your son this week retribution?"

"Just do as I say. Go find him. Once he has fulfilled his wish and forgives your family, he will naturally leave. Then the demolition issue will be resolved in no time."

Dang Ping checked the time; it was almost 8 o'clock. There wasn't a soul in the old town area due to the demolition, and people were afraid to go there now.

"Master, when would be a good time for us to go? Is tomorrow alright?"

"Of course, the sooner the better. We can go now!"

The thought of his emaciated, vacant-eyed old father filled Dang Ping with unbearable nausea.

They had lived in the city center for three years, but rarely contacted each other. Last year during the Lunar New Year, she simply gave him some food as a token gesture and then quickly left.

If you want to get his house, you'll really have to resort to some tricks.

But?

He glanced at his son beside him, "Xiao Wu, are you scared?"

“Dad, what are you afraid of? He is my grandfather. We have done many things to offend him. As long as we can get his forgiveness, that will be fine. I think Master Gu is right. Let’s go now.”

After a pause, Dang Wu turned his gaze to the camera, "Master, but we can't see the ghost either. How can we see Grandpa?"

“I have my own way of getting you to see him. Go now, and your line will be closed.”

Gu Yunxi disconnected the two of them and sent a private message to Dang Wu, sending him two talismans.

Dang Wu didn't know what it was, but after clicking on the picture, two talismans appeared in his hand.

“Dad, maybe the master is helping us. If we take this, we can see Grandpa. Let’s hurry up and leave. He’s been staying there for over a month. Let’s buy him some things on the way and burn them together.”

Dang Ping felt a mix of emotions. Over the years, he had indeed acted like a scoundrel and had let his adoptive father down.

He's a beast!

Perhaps because of the streamer's reassurance, nothing strange happened to either of them.

Halfway there, Dang Ping, unusually, listened to his son and bought some things at an incense and candle shop before heading towards the urban village. Although it wasn't late at night, the dim streetlights flickered, and there wasn't a soul in sight.

Walking through the dilapidated urban village, a few stray cats occasionally crawled by. The two of them suddenly snapped and hugged each other tightly. Many places had already begun to be demolished.

Only a few scattered households remained, and the two quickly arrived at their old home.

The gate was tightly shut. Dang Ping nudged his son's shoulder, urging him to open the gate, but Dang Wu hesitated. In the midst of the pushing and shoving, the tightly shut gate suddenly opened.

There was a figure standing under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard. The "person" had his back to them and was dressed in the clothes of an old Red Army soldier.

That figure wasn't Grandpa's shadow. He was tall and had a straight back, but those clothes looked so old!

"Ping'er, Xiao Wu, you're here. Why don't you come in?"

The man turned around, revealing a handsome face. It turned out to be his grandfather when he was young. Dang Wu recognized him at a glance.

Grandpa has a faded old photograph, and this is what he looks like in it.

Dang Wu was the first to go in, and knelt down about two meters away from the old man. "Grandpa, we're so sorry..."

After Gu Yunxi finished her broadcast, she didn't rush to rest. Instead, she went straight to the rooftop, where the full moon was exceptionally round.

After she rearranged the entire Gu family, the spiritual energy was even more abundant than before. She lay on the roof, looking at the full moon. Perhaps she was seeing things, but why did she see some unidentified object flying by?

But she was certain that the thing was definitely not an airplane, so she decided to follow it and take a look.

Dressed in black, Gu Yan prepared to go to Mirror Moon Lake according to her master's instructions. It is said that in the latter half of tonight, Mirror Moon Lake will have a once-in-a-century spectacle. The Goddess Xuan Nu once lived there for a period of time and left behind an extremely rare ice and snow lotus. If one can find it, even obtaining a single petal can greatly improve one's cultivation.

With her and her master's current strength, they would have a hard time dealing with Gu Yunxi, let alone those old men from the metaphysics association. Her master said that he also came from there. Those people are elusive and none of them are good people.

Given Gu Yunxi's abilities, she will definitely go to witness this spectacle. We need to find a good place and not let her gain the upper hand.

Unfortunately, she was wrong. Gu Yunxi had no idea about this at all. If she hadn't flown over in the middle of the night, and the moonlight happened to be different from usual, it would have been seen by people admiring the moon on the rooftop.

Gu Yunxi followed her stealthily. Judging from her figure, this person was undoubtedly Gu Yan. What audacity! Wasn't she afraid of being arrested by the relevant authorities?

She seemed to be in a hurry, yet purposefully flew towards the southeast of Jiangcheng. Gu Yunxi was curious to see what she was up to.

Staying up so late at night, she must be up to no good, especially since she's already fallen into the evil path of cultivation.

Fortunately, her destination was not Jiangcheng. With such great skills, it was unknown how she had learned them in such a short time. Thinking of something, Gu Yunxi quietly flicked out a white light, which entered Gu Yan's body without her noticing anything.

Finally, Gu Yan stopped when she saw a large, seemingly endless lake in the distance.

So this was her destination. Gu Yunxi released her divine sense and thought, "Wow, there are quite a few cultivators here. Could it be that she's planning something?"

She landed, looked at her clothes, changed into some easy-to-move sportswear, and then walked towards a less crowded area.
