36. Chapter 36: Learn More



But in fact, life there can be summed up in three words - busy as a dog!

Fan Xiaoling was in tears.

On the first day of moving in, Wen Qi threw her a book on the basics of spells and made an extravagant request: "Memorize it within a month."

Fan Xiaoling was shocked. This book was thicker than her major book! How could she memorize it in one month?! She tried to reason with Wen Qi.

But Wen Qi said seriously: "If you can't memorize it, it only proves that you have no talent and are not suitable to be a heavenly master."

Fan Xiaoling was frowning. She really wanted to ask, who said that it would be a pity if she didn't become a heavenly master with her talent...

Fan Xiaoling's life was filled with classes and memorizing runes. She didn't even have time to go to the cafeteria and could only order takeout.

For an ordinary person who has never been exposed to such things, even introductory books are like incomprehensible books. But Fan Xiaoling may really be talented. She only stumbled and asked Wen Qi questions in the first few days, but later she actually learned by herself.

Wen Qi was very pleased. Her vision was indeed very good! Wen Qi was also very busy, but only she could understand how busy she was. She was not busy in action, but in her mind. Almost all the time, she was perfecting the Hungry Ghost Mantra in her mind.

If you want to break it, you must first know how to cast the curse. Once you understand it, you can find the weakness and break it.

Wen Qi didn't know how others broke the curse, but she had always done it this way. The reason why she liked to study the spells she had never seen before was that these new things would eventually become part of her power.

The Hungry Ghost Curse has been studied for quite a long time. Of course, this is also because she is always distracted by various trivial things. Now it has finally entered the final stage.

On the last Friday of November, late at night, Wen Qi, who had washed up and gone to bed early, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear, and he didn't look like he had slept at all.

This was indeed the case. She had simply chosen a more comfortable place to perfect the Hungry Ghost Mantra. Now, the complete Hungry Ghost Mantra had been imprinted in her mind.

Even though he had already seen the power of the Hungry Ghost Curse, when he “looked” at the complete spell, Wen Qi couldn’t help but murmur, “What a vicious curse.”

The Hungry Ghost Curse was much more vicious than she had imagined, and anyone struck by it would almost certainly die.

The Hungry Ghost Curse is most powerful at the moment it is cast. As the curse is cast, countless hungry ghosts will swarm in and devour the soul of the person cursed in a few breaths. Afterwards, the hungry ghosts that have devoured the soul will merge into one under the influence of the curse, giving birth to a new and powerful hungry ghost that is driven by the caster of the curse.

But something went wrong with the hungry ghost curse on Feng Ce. When the curse was cast, the hungry ghosts were unable to completely devour his soul. Instead, the hungry ghosts created by the curse instead came into confrontation with the hungry ghosts that were lured in, allowing Feng Ce to survive with a lingering breath.

In the darkness, Wen Qi's eyes were shining.

Did the person who cast the spell make a mistake, or was Feng Ce himself special? Inexplicably, Wen Qi thought of the powerful aura that flashed by in the hospital elevator before.

After thinking to no avail, Wen Qi sighed and closed her eyes to sleep. Tomorrow she would go back to Feng's house early to help Feng Ce break the curse.

But... maybe it was because he slept too late. Wen Qi slept until after ten o'clock. When he got up, packed up and returned to Feng's house, it was already noon. Not only was Feng Ce not at home, but Old Man Feng was also out.

After asking my aunt, I found out that Mr. Feng was attending a reunion with old classmates.

Wen Qi was shocked. His grandfather was already in his seventies, but he could still organize a class reunion. That was amazing.

But after all, he is old, and going out for a party still makes people worry. Wen Qi thought about it and asked, "Did grandpa say when he will be back?"

Auntie smiled and said, "It should be after dinner. It happens every year. We are used to it. Besides, Lao Zhou is here too."

Wen Qi nodded and said, "Give me Uncle Zhou's phone number. I'll pick up Grandpa in the evening."

Of course the aunt wouldn't say anything about the younger generation's filial piety, and just responded with a smile.

After lunch, Wen Qi returned to his room and went over the steps to break the curse again. He also prepared everything he needed, and the whole afternoon passed in this way.

The place where Mr. Feng had his dinner was a very elegant teahouse on the outskirts of the city. It provided one-stop services including tea, chess, and meals. There was also a huge lake behind the building where one could fish, making it very suitable for elderly people with both free time and money.

After taking a taxi to the teahouse, Wen Qi first found Uncle Zhou.

Uncle Zhou was getting anxious, but he was relieved when he saw Wen Qi. "Mr. Feng just called me and said he was leaving. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to make it, so I was about to call you."

Wen Qi smiled, "Then I arrived just in time."

The two men stood by the car and chatted. After a while, a group of old men and women in exquisite clothes came out of the teahouse. At a glance, there were no less than ten people.

Mr. Feng and an old man with white hair were walking and chatting. Both of them were smiling, but their smiles looked a little subtle.

Wen Qi was still hesitating whether to go up to him when the white-haired old man looked up and saw her. Wen Qi gave him a polite smile.

The old man looked at her twice, then turned and said something to Mr. Feng. The old man suddenly stopped smiling and looked at her with a sullen face.

Wen Qi had never seen this expression on Mr. Feng's face, and was really frightened for a moment. One can only say that he is worthy of being a domineering boss all his life, and when he is serious, his aura is quite scary.

Wen Qi tilted his head slightly and walked over with a smile, "Grandpa, I'm here to pick you up."

After being stunned for a moment, Mr. Feng also laughed, his happiness was visibly evident. "When did you come? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"I just arrived too." Wen Qi asked with a smile, "Is Grandpa having a good time today?"

Old Master Feng nodded repeatedly, "Happy, happy, I'm so happy that you came to pick me up." He took Wen Qi's hand and looked at the white-haired old man behind him, "Old Xing! Let me introduce you, this is Feng Ce's wife Wen Qi, she is very good at metaphysics, and she has worked with Taoist Master Xuwu before, do you remember?"

Wen Qi smiled politely, "Hello, Grandpa Xing."

Old Xing smiled and glanced at Wen Qi, then nodded and said, "He is indeed a handsome man."

At this time, Mr. Feng suddenly looked around and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say your daughter-in-law was here to pick you up? Why haven't you seen her yet?"

Xing Lao smiled with a wry smile, "Maybe he was delayed on the way. You go first, I'll wait for you."

Mr. Feng waved his hand and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'll stay with you for a while. We'll have to wait another year before we meet again."

Mr. Xing also sighed, "It's not certain whether we can see each other again."

Old Master Feng looked him up and down, "Are you in poor health?"

Mr. Xing suddenly became serious, "Nonsense! I'm in good health. I'm just worried that you won't be able to come next year."

Old Master Feng also looked serious, "Impossible! I have Xiaoqi's health charm, and my body will get better and better. But you have to be careful, don't get angry and get sick."

Old Xing's expression changed, and he glanced at Wen Qi again. He seemed to feel embarrassed, so he just swung his sleeves and walked away, "I won't talk to you anymore!"

Mr. Feng smiled proudly, "Old Xing, see you at the class reunion next year."

Wen Qi was stunned. The confrontation between the elderly people was so exciting!
