Chapter 413: Deep Mansion (Part 1)
Stepping into the open door, Yu Huo appeared again at the entrance of his own hotel.
It was already dawn, and there were still few people on the street.
[Ding! Anchor Qi Gong has successfully escaped and has been promoted to a blue-name anchor.]
Yu Huo: "Blue name anchor?"
[Live Assistant 9999999: Yes, the anchor levels are divided into white, blue, red, and black. The dungeons are aligned with the anchor level, and the difficulty increases.]
Yu Huo listened to the emotionless electronic sound of the system and walked into his hotel thoughtfully.
The hotel lobby was silent. The receptionist was resting his chin on one hand, nodding off.
Yu Huo looked around and saw that there was no sign of fire inside the hotel, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, his footsteps woke up the already restlessly sleeping receptionist. She stared blankly in his direction for a few seconds before her eyes suddenly widened and she sat up straight. "Why are you here at this hour?"
Yu Huo greeted the front desk and said, "Sister Liu, I didn't want to come so early, mainly because I just got a job as a deputy..."
[Live Assistant 9999999: Warning! We have detected that the front desk knows nothing about this live broadcast room. If the host leaks the information, the front desk lady Liu will be immediately eliminated.]
Holy shit! Are you guys so unreasonable?
[Live Assistant 9999999: Please cooperate with us to avoid unnecessary casualties.]
Seeing that he was halfway through his words, Sister Liu couldn't help but look puzzled and asked, "What did you just do?"
Yu Huo paused and said with a smile: "Nothing, I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."
Sister Liu's suspicious expression deepened: "You still can't sleep?"
Yu Huo yawned: "Yes."
Sister Liu: “…”
"Okay, I'll go back first." After saying that, Yu Huo turned around and walked back home with a listless step.
The first thing he did when he got home was to ask his parents, but as soon as he reached the door of the master bedroom, he saw several sticky notes stuck on the door.
Note 1: [Ahuo, Mom and Dad stole the clan's Soul-Suppressing Sword and were caught and taken back to the old house for confinement. But don't worry, other than not being able to go out, confinement has no side effects on us. Remember to take good care of yourself. Don't worry.]
Note 2: [Oh, by the way, you must not hand over the Soul Orb. Without it, you will die and won't even be able to become a ghost. Be obedient, you must not hand over the Soul Orb!]
Note 3: [Also, your master lost her phone. Please go to Maoshan to look for her as soon as you get home.]
Note 4: [Last sentence, you took the Soul-Suppressing Knife and claimed it as your master without permission, which really screwed your parents over. We won't be able to get out for another thousand or eight hundred years. But it doesn't matter. Mom and Dad still love you. The passwords for all the family cards are your birthday. Remember to save money and don't buy fancy things like planes and yachts. Mua~]
Yu Huo reached out and took off the notes, held them in his hand and looked at them for a long time, then walked back to his room and stuffed all the notes into the drawer.
After a while, the corners of his tightly pursed lips lifted slightly, and he murmured with a hint of smugness: "Am I financially free?"
Although he shouldn't laugh, Yu Huo really couldn't control himself.
After a long pause, he decided to do something meaningful to alleviate his guilt, so he turned on the computer, tapped on the keyboard with his slender fingertips, then climbed over the wall to log into Xiaorizijia's Twitter, and prepared to post a post passionately.
[Live Assistant 9999999: !!! (makes a sharp explosion)]
Yu Huo endured the high-decibel alarm sound of the live broadcast assistant and quickly clicked send. A small dot appeared on the computer, and it kept spinning until it showed that the sending failed and the post disappeared in seconds.
Yu Huo narrowed his eyes: "Seven 9s? Did you do this?"
[Live Assistant 9999999: How dare you challenge me? What on earth do you want to do?]
Yu Huo spread his hands, looking innocent: "I'm fighting the Japanese. This is a good thing, why are you shouting?"
[Live Assistant 9999999: "Fuck you! I'm still fighting like a dinosaur! How is your insidious way of resisting the Japanese any different from that island nation?"
Yu Huo opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Huh? Where's your electronic sound?"
[Live Assistant 9999999:......]
“The voice is quite nice~”
[Don't spread the news about the livestream. Also, please don't have any evil thoughts about a system.]
Yu Huo tutted his tongue in disgust when he heard this, his eyes fell on the computer screen, and he said unwillingly: "You said it yourself, if the secret is leaked, then the insider will be eliminated. Can't you afford to play like this now?"
I don’t know if the system was annoyed with him, it seemed to have disappeared and never paid any attention to him again.
Seeing that the system was so funny, Yu Huo found himself some food out of boredom, then put on a shoulder bag and took a taxi to Maoshan.
Maoshan Taoism has a long history, the mountain has pleasant scenery and attracts a constant stream of pilgrims.
Yu Huo was led by a young Taoist priest all the way to the place where the Taoist priests lived in Guanhou, and finally stopped in front of an antique building.
Before the little Taoist priest could knock on the door, a familiar and loud questioning voice came from inside.
"Master! How could you do this? Xiaohuo is my disciple. If you accept him, won't he become my junior apprentice? Besides, you spread the word to the outside world that I am your last disciple. If you accept another disciple, won't that prove that you don't keep your word?"
Then, a strong male voice sounded, and the other party calmly retorted, "Can't you just close the door and then open it again?"
"No!" Luo Yunmeng retorted, "If you do that? I'll be so embarrassed!"
Guan Xiangyang—Master Guan stroked his beard and sneered, "It would be a real loss of face for me to accept you as my apprentice! Look at yourself? For all these years, you haven't even been able to recite a soul-calling spell, and you've wasted your great talent... What a sin!"
Luo Yunmeng felt guilty and lowered his voice: "Anyway, you can't steal my apprentice. I don't have the face to call my apprentice Junior Brother."
Just when it was difficult to decide whether to let the fire in or not, the serious little Taoist priest next to him pushed open the door first, ran in hurriedly, and tried to smooth things over.
"Master Guan, you already announced that you would no longer accept disciples. Now you suddenly accept another one. It would be really bad if it got out."
"And Taoist Luo, you know that Master Guan has always loved you the most. He did this because he was afraid of delaying Mr. Yu's cultivation. Can you all calm down? This person is here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Xiangyang and Luo Yunmeng looked out the door together, their expressions somewhat embarrassed.
Fortunately, the young Taoist priest was clever and said quickly, "Master Guan, if a disciple can teach, then the disciple's disciple can also be taught. Why bother about a title?"
Master Guan glanced at his only female disciple, his expression softened considerably, and he nodded and said with a smile, "That makes sense."
After saying that, he waved to the young man outside the door and said, "Little guy, come in first."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huo walked into the room. During the walk, he glanced at the young Taoist priest who had retreated to the corner and kept his fame and achievements hidden, and couldn't help but admire him.
This Maoshan...is really a Feng Shui treasure land!
After entering the door, Yu Huo knew that Luo Yunmeng asked him to come mainly to formally become his disciple.
Before this, Master Guan had tested Yu Huo and, seeing that Yu Huo had mastered Taoism very well, he looked at Luo Yunmeng with no more doubts and did not mention the matter of stealing his disciple anymore.
After completing all the apprenticeship procedures, meeting the uncles under Master Guan and receiving a bunch of gifts, Luo Yunmeng took Yu Huo back to his room in Maoshan.
Seeing her serious expression, Yu Huo also became more serious and asked, "Master, did you bring me here to say something?"
Although Luo Yunmeng had been surpassed by him and even far surpassed him, Yu Huo still did not show any disrespect to her and continued to address her respectfully.
Luo Yunmeng tilted his head and looked at him with a worried expression: "I know that you were dragged into the live broadcast room of the near-death experience."
Yu Huo blinked his eyes: "Master, are you also the anchor there?"
Luo Yunmeng slowly shook his head. "I'm not the anchor now. I'm the employee of the Underworld who monitors the live broadcast room."
Yu Huo: "...?"
Really, since he became an adult yesterday, the world has been completely turned upside down for him. He used to think that his eyes were the most magical in the world, but now, they are simply not worth mentioning!
From the fact that he is not a human but a Shura, to the live broadcast and the underworld, the amount of information is really too much.
Luo Yunmeng caught a glimpse of his stunned expression and the unconscious curling of his lips, and was the first to pour a bucket of cold water on him: "Don't be too happy yet, I want to tell you that the live broadcast room is out of control!"
Yu Huo's smile froze slightly: "What do you mean by out of control?"
Luo Yunmeng didn't answer, but asked: "You met 'him', right?"
Yu Huo didn't understand: "Him?"
Luo Yunmeng lowered his eyelids and explained with a serious expression, "It's the person who asked you for the soul orb. 'He's' called Yuan, the evil spirit of the Styx."
Yu Huo hurriedly asked: "Master, do you know him? Have you seen Minghe? Master, who are you?"
"That's not important!" Luo Yunmeng seemed extremely anxious, and his speech speed increased. "The important thing is that there is no time now. You have his soul orb on you, and you have been targeted by that guy."
Yu Huo said "Oh" and said, "What's wrong?"
It's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are anxious to death!
Luo Yunmeng rolled her eyes: "...You make it seem like I'm being unreasonable."
Yu Huo shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Let him stare at me, the worst that can happen is that I'll die with him."
Luo Yunmeng was almost pissed off and snorted, "You still don't understand! He represents the malice of billions of wronged souls in the Styx. As long as souls have emotions, you're the only one who will die together!"
"Ah... he's so buggy?"
Yu Huo was confused, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.
He had previously pinned down that handsome man named Yuan. Is there something fishy about what Master said?
Luo Yunmeng didn't notice the young man's suspicious look, and softened his tone to comfort him: "But don't be afraid, someone is already dealing with the problem of alienation in the live broadcast room, but it's still unknown how long it will take.
So to avoid any accidents, from now until the next live broadcast, you will stay in the library in the temple. Learn as much as you can and read as much as you can. Master can only help you up to this point..."
With that, Yu Huo followed him to the library with a look of suspicion on his face. When he saw the three floors filled with books, he felt his eyes go blank and the sky fell. "Master, aren't you exaggerating too much?"
Not to mention learning or reading, just flipping through the pages would take him several months, right?
Before he could recover from his shock, Luo Yunmeng suddenly snatched his phone without even saying hello, and pushed him through the door: "Stop talking nonsense, and study hard. Someone will bring you food when it's time for dinner."
After saying that, she locked the door.
“......!”
Yu Huo immediately turned around and shouted through the crack of the door: "Master! Why did you lock the door?"
Luo Yunmeng's warning came from outside the door: "I'm afraid you'll run away. Also, you are not allowed to be lazy!"
Yu Huo felt a little aggrieved. He turned around and stared at the rows of bookshelves, then said, "Master, this is too much. Why don't you just let me fend for myself..."
But no one responded to him from outside the door.
Yu Huo waited for a few seconds, his heart skipping a beat. He turned around and pried through the crack in the door, shouting, "Master! Master, give me my phone back!!!"
He shouted for a long time, but the footsteps outside the door came and went, and no one paid any attention to him.
Yu Huo couldn't help but wonder, since his master's phone was lost, could it be that he wanted to take his phone for himself?
Because there was no phone to play with, time seemed to pass by extra slowly.
Yu Huo sat on the ground for a long time, and finally had no choice but to pull out a copy of "Qi Men Dun Jia" from the bookshelf and started to kill time...
In this way, he stayed in the library. When he was tired, he slept on the floor. When he was hungry, he ate the cold rice that others secretly brought to him while he was sleeping.
He didn't even have a place to take a shower, so he could only wipe himself on the sink in the bathroom. It felt more uncomfortable than being in jail!
He didn't know how many days he had persisted. He looked at his haggard face in the mirror in a daze and threw the towel into the sink in anger.
The water splashed high. Yu Huo dodged nimbly while cursing Yuan in his heart, saying that this feud was irreconcilable!
After washing up, he walked to the third bookshelf, picked up the book he had not finished reading and started reading. As he read, he began to yawn uncontrollably again.
Before he knew it, he fell asleep...
A large and antique mansion appeared in the dream, with the words "Liu's House" written on a plaque.
Lanterns were hung high on both sides, and the candlelight swayed in the wind and snow, and it was possible that they would go out at any time, which was very creepy.
At this moment, the heavy door creaked open, revealing a crowd of people inside. The noisy atmosphere instantly broke through the cold and heavy atmosphere outside the door.
The yard was filled with guests, toasting each other. They were in high spirits, holding their glasses and chatting with their neighbors.
The main color in the yard is also red, and the word "happiness" is fluttering in the wind.
During this time, the tinkling melody struggled to squeeze out from the noisy conversation. Yu Huo noticed that there was a musician playing the piano on the stage inside the house. Perhaps because the distance was too far, his face was blurry.
Yu Huo subconsciously took a few steps forward, wanting to see the other person's face clearly.
Suddenly, the music stopped, the conversation in the yard also stopped abruptly, and all the guests looked towards the gate.
Their cheeks were flushed, their expressions were exactly the same, even the curves of their mouths were exactly the same, like a bunch of... paper figures.
At this moment, a high and sharp voice sounded in the courtyard.
"The auspicious time has arrived... open the ground and lift the coffin!"
In an instant, the red on his face seemed to be dyed pure white by the wind and snow, and even the two swaying lanterns outside the door turned white.
There is a big inscription on it -
