Chapter 53: Urban Supernatural 5: At most half a month, he will be beyond help...
It seemed like he was going to keep pestering me. I didn't know why he didn't just attack me directly, but instead asked random questions.
However, there was a gap in time, and Chen Qi was brainstorming about how he could save himself in this situation.
He had only learned a little from the sorcerer's book, not even the basics. Fighting it was not worth it, he would only suffer losses.
Chen Qi narrowed his eyes and saw that the weasel was on the verge of impatience, so he decided to defeat magic with magic.
"Do you think I look like a human or a god?"
Chen Qi was not timid at all. He had a stern face and did not retreat, but kept pressing towards the weasel.
He came with the white mist on his back, half of his figure hidden in the darkness, and covered in the morning light in the mist, it was as if a god had descended.
Shock was evident on the weasel's furry face. "What?!"
It didn't expect Chen Qi to say that. It was simply unbelievable and its brain couldn't wrap its head around it for a while.
Do you think I look like a human or a god?
Chen Qi had already walked in front of it, nodded slightly, and looked down at it condescendingly, like a god with a cold gaze.
The morning light was like a halo behind him, with a strange face and extremely cold eyes.
The weasel fell to his knees and blurted out, "You, you are like a god..."
It regretted what it said as soon as it said it, because its body was disintegrating and the spiritual energy it had cultivated for a hundred years was being absorbed by Chen Qi.
“No, no!”
Only the weasel's scream echoed, and then it disappeared. The white mist dissipated, and the blocked morning light poured down, clearing the way for brightness.
Chen Qi's eyes went dark, his body swayed, and he fell forward.
Instead of falling to the ground, it fell into a warm embrace.
"Master...Master..."
Knowing it was Wu Yue, Chen Qi smiled foolishly and fell into a coma with relief.
When he woke up again, he was lying on the table.
Wu Yue was holding a cup of icy mung bean soup with water flowing out of the surface, and she was putting it against his face.
Chen Qi shivered from the cold, and Wu Yue didn't hide it either. She sat aside and drank her cup.
He didn't get angry either. He sat up immediately, his tone filled with joy and dependence as he asked a series of questions, "Master, you're back. Where did you go just now? I couldn't find you."
When he said the latter sentence, he was worried, nervous and scared. He was afraid that Wu Yue would leave him alone.
Wu Yue explained simply, "We dealt with a few little mice that were following us."
She bit the straw and looked at Chen Qi's face, and Chen Qi felt uncomfortable when she looked at him.
Chen Qi touched his face with his backhand and asked anxiously, "Master, why are you looking at me like that?"
Is he disfigured? No, I don't feel any pain from the wound.
Wu Yue asked, "What did you encounter just now?"
Chen Qi naturally would not hide anything and told the details of what happened.
Wu Yue's mouth twitched when she heard this, and her expression was indescribable.
"I was just trying to save my life. Since it asked me for a title, there's no rule that I shouldn't ask it for one. And if a spirit worships me as a god, then I must be more powerful than it."
Chen Qi scratched the back of his head, feeling embarrassed, but his eyes were shining as he showed off his intelligence to Wu Yue.
In fact, he was also surprised. "I didn't expect that a casual remark like that would have such a good effect. By the way, Master, did anything happen after I fell into a coma..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a man's voice coming from far away, interrupting Chen Qi's words.
"Ms. Wu!"
Chen Qi turned around and saw a handsome man in a suit, followed by a man who looked like an assistant.
The handsome man walked straight towards Wu Yue with a smile on his face, ignoring Chen Qi who was sitting next to Wu Yue.
He came in front of Wu Yue, his calm face softened, and a smile dotted his eyes. "Miss Wu, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Wu Yue looked up at him and nodded slightly with dignity, "Hello, Mr. Huo."
Seeing this man talking to Wu Yue enthusiastically, Chen Qi felt unhappy and interrupted him immediately, "Master, who is he?"
"Hello, my name is Huo Xianke." Huo Xianke restrained his smile, glanced at Chen Qi, and briefly introduced himself.
Thinking of the relationship between Chen Qi and Wu Yue, his attitude improved a lot. "Miss Wu and I are friends. I know that you are Miss Wu's literary research apprentice. I am also older than you. You can just call me Brother Huo."
After saying this perfunctorily, he didn't pay much attention to Chen Qi's reaction, but looked at Wu Yue again, "It's almost noon now. If Miss Wu doesn't mind, how about we go have lunch together? There's a good farmhouse in the nearby scenic area, or you can go anywhere you want to eat."
We are all men, and no one can hide his thoughts from anyone. Even though Chen Qi is a few years younger, he can tell what Huo Xianke means. He has a crush on his master.
Ugh. Chen Qi was disgusted. An old man dared to dream of his master. Even if his master wanted a man, he wanted a man like him who was older, younger, and more energetic.
Chen Qi held his forehead and covered his stomach. "Ouch, Master, my head hurts so much. Let's go buy some medicine for the headache first. It might be the sequelae of what happened on the road just now."
Although she knew he was pretending, Wu Yue still cooperated and supported his arm. "Sorry, I have things to do. I'll thank you Mr. Huo for seeing me off another day when I'm free."
When Chen Qi heard that his master was cooperating with him, the corners of his mouth curled up secretly, and then he cried out even louder, as if he was about to faint.
But Huo Xianke didn't want to give up the opportunity to spend time together. "I'll take you there. This is a small place. There's no good hospital, only a health center. It's faster to drive there."
"Master, Master..." Chen Qi was not that stupid. He immediately leaned his head on Wu Yue's shoulder, looking very uncomfortable. He said with a choked voice, "Master, am I going to die? Master, my head is so dizzy~"
Now he had to thank Huo Xianke, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to take the opportunity to get close to his master like he did now. He really wanted to keep leaning on him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're not going to die yet." Wu Yue's eyelids twitched. Stop pretending. You're going too far.
"Don't bother Mr. Huo. He has a chronic headache and needs to see a specialized Chinese medicine doctor in the county. We are familiar with the route and know how to get there."
Wu Yue explained to Huo Xianke, and then left with Chen Qi who was still pretending.
Since she said so, Huo Xianke naturally had no reason to chase after her. Looking at Wu Yue's departing back, he stroked the string of sandalwood beads on his left wrist and stared in deep thought.
The assistant next to Huo Xianke whispered, "Boss Huo, Director Wang is still waiting for us. We're going to be late."
Director Wang of the Land Bureau. Although it was a small place, the powerful dragon could not suppress the local snake. They came from far away, and as investors, Director Wang greeted them well, so they had to give him some face.
"Yeah." Huo Xianke turned around and got into the car.
A luxurious black car that looked out of place in this remote county drove into the small road, and its rear end disappeared from sight.
When they turned a corner and entered another street, Wu Yue felt hot and pushed him away, "Okay, stop pretending."
Chen Qi chuckled and stood up straight with the force. He looked back and saw that Huo Xianke was gone.
"Master, how did you get to know him?" He was a little concerned and asked tentatively out of curiosity.
Wu Yue didn't notice and just said, "You fainted on the way and didn't wait for the bus to the county. I dragged you for a distance, and he happened to be driving by and stopped to give us a ride."
She didn't wear that cumbersome ancient dress today, but just wore Chen Qi's jeans and a shirt.
Although it was baggy, she was tall and had a good figure, so she looked like she was wearing casual clothes. Except for her long hair, no one would have thought she was an ancient person.
"So that's how it is." Chen Qi nodded, but he didn't relax in his heart. His intuition told him that the man was not a good person.
He did not hide it and told Wu Yue about it, and emphasized that there are many scammers nowadays, and there are even more unlucky people who are taken to make kidneys, so it is better to be careful, etc.
Chen Qi admitted that he was deliberately smearing others.
"You should be careful." Wu Yue frowned slightly, "He has a very dangerous aura."
The book said that the first big boss would come here. As for who it would be, she didn't know, so she could only be on guard.
Chen Qi was also guessing, "Could he be a paper man too? But that's not right. Paper men only stay in the village. No one will go out."
Now that he understood, it was no wonder he'd always seen so many people leave when he was little, but so few return. He hadn't thought much about this as a child, and as an adult, he'd assumed they'd gone out to work, seen the world outside, and wouldn't return to the village. He hadn't realized, however, that they were all paper figures.
Maybe the sealed paper figures were out of control, or maybe in order to create the illusion of "life" for him, Grandpa dealt with them secretly and said he was going out to work.
He never doubted his grandfather's words, and no one would doubt that the place where he grew up was not a place for human beings to live.
Wu Yue said calmly, "When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. As long as they come with a purpose, they will be exposed."
There are too many hidden unknowns. Before they all surface, the key is to be able to survive and develop.
Chen Qi nodded in agreement.
He and Wu Yue came to a funeral supplies store. The owner knew Chen Qi because he had been there with his grandfather when he was a child.
Chen Qi had never learned it before, but he had a good memory. He repeated the things his grandfather bought when he was still alive. He just wanted the same ones.
He just brought it back to practice, and he hasn't reached his grandfather's level yet.
The boss asked him while picking up the things, "I remember Ah Qi is about to graduate. It's been a long time since I saw your grandfather. Why didn't he come to buy things today?"
"Well, I graduated in July. Grandpa was not feeling well and was resting at home." Chen Qi didn't want to talk about his grandfather's death.
It wasn't because he was afraid or sad that he didn't want to talk about it. It was just that he was in so much danger right now, with so many people watching him, that if the news got out, it would only bring trouble.
Although he couldn't keep it secret for long, it would be good to buy him a little more time so he could learn more.
The boss didn't doubt it. "Your grandfather is quite old. You should be filial and come back after you graduate. Young people nowadays tend to settle down in big cities."
"Chen Qi, haven't you bought it yet?"
Wu Yue was too lazy to wait with him, so she went to the nearby store to buy some snacks. She was a little unhappy because of the scorching sun.
Maybe because she had been possessed by the tree for too long, she hated being exposed to the sun at noon and liked the warm sun in the early morning the most.
"Okay!" Chen Qi turned around and responded, then scanned the code to pay.
The boss looked up and saw Wu Yue not far away. This girl was really pretty. He smiled and joked, "Wow, Ah Qi is amazing. He found such a beautiful girlfriend. Your grandfather is also very lucky. He will be able to hold his great-grandson in his arms soon."
He is not young anymore, with some white hair, so naturally he likes to praise the elderly in this way. Who wouldn't want to have four generations living under one roof?
Wu Yue was just standing under the shade of the tree and didn't go to the front of the store, so naturally she didn't hear the boss's teasing.
Out of careful consideration, Chen Qi smiled and did not explain, which was considered as acknowledging the relationship guessed by his boss.
He went to pick up Wu Yue with a bag of things, and then they went to buy some daily necessities, found a place to have a simple lunch, and then took a bus back.
The car was just parked at the intersection, so we had to walk into the village, which was quite a long way. Chen Qi was carrying a lot of bags, while Wu Yue walked beside him, drinking a drink.
The mountains are foggy and are shaded by tall trees all year round. It is only four in the afternoon, but it feels like seven in the evening. It is damp and cold, and the birds are calling "cuckoo cuckoo" which is very creepy.
Chen Qi didn’t feel anything before, but now he knows the reason.
He lived in a gloomy place surrounded by graves, and the villagers in those "houses" were all wandering ghosts.
The fusion of yin and yang, the extreme yin energy can protect him.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
Chen Qi faintly heard a ringing sound. He knew he was right and turned his head to look at Wu Yue. "Master, there's movement."
It was a familiar danger, something he was used to by now. Perhaps he was a modern-day "Tang Monk."
What is coming will eventually come. Wu Yue was very calm, "Why panic? Just keep going. It's still early, they won't come out now."
Infected by her calmness, Chen Qi nodded.
Night always comes quickly, and there are only a few stars tonight.
Standing on a high platform in the distant farmhouse scenic area, Huo Shenke can overlook the mountains and forests in the distance.
The peaks were arranged from low to high, forming a circle, and the center was piled up even more, like a grave mound. In front of this mound stood three small hills, like three incense sticks on top.
Under the moonlight, a thin mist lingered and covered the area, lingering for a long time. The mist floating on the top was not white mist, but a lifeless black mist after being stained by the lush shade of the trees.
A place of extreme yin will also produce yang from yin, so it is naturally also a place of extreme yang.
Huo Xianke withdrew his gaze and looked at a skinny old man next to him. "Old Craftsman Chen is quite capable. You lost a trick. It took you twenty-two years to find this place."
The skinny old man smiled sinisterly, holding a compass in his hand. "So what? A gentleman's revenge is never too late, and I'm no gentleman either. The one who laughs last is the winner. Now the balance between yin and yang is unbalanced. No matter how powerful Old Craftsman Chen is, he can't protect his precious grandson."
Huo Xianke put down his glass and said, "When will we start? If it's any later, the cooperation will be invalid."
Money makes the world go round, and he has no shortage of it. Even if he spends tens of millions, hundreds of millions, there will always be other experts who can find a way to stabilize the Huo family's fortune and avoid backlash.
He would waste time here only because Chen Qi was useful. Using Chen Qi as a coffin for the dead to get promoted and make money was far more powerful than finding forty-nine living people, and it would better maintain the Huo family's wealth for the next hundred years.
After waiting for so many years, the skinny old man could sit still as the critical moment approached. "Half a month, at most half a month. When the magnetic field is completely reversed, it will be time to capture Chen Qi."
Huo Xianke put his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows.
Half a month is not long, he can still wait.
