Chapter 279 Curiosity Kills the Cat



"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, we have already found the things here, and I believe we will have news about the next thing soon." The old monk was calm and composed, not at all anxious as before.

As long as they have everything, they can follow the map to find what they ultimately need.

They drank tea and chatted, and soon the waiter brought up the food they had just ordered.

Just when they were enjoying their meal, the bundle placed aside was pushed open by something.

Then it moved towards the window at lightning speed, and did not make any noise during the process.

Both of them were so engrossed in their meal that they didn't notice this scene.

Wen Mianmian was also eating. She saw something moving in the window out of the corner of her eye, but she looked up and didn't see anything.

Could it be that she was having an illusion?

The Fourth Master noticed her strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Mianmian shook her head. "It's okay. Maybe I'm dazzled."

"Master, try this. It tastes good." Wen Mianmian picked up a piece of steamed pork ribs with rice flour and put it into the Fourth Master's bowl.

As the two were eating, Wen Mianmian felt movement under her feet.

Wen Mianmian thought it was a mouse and stepped on it immediately.

Hey, this doesn't feel like a mouse.

The Fourth Master looked over, and Wen Mianmian lowered her head and saw that she was stepping on something that looked like fur.

There seemed to be something written on it. Wen Mianmian put down her chopsticks and lowered her head to pick up the thing.

"What's this?"

When the Fourth Master saw Mianmian pick up something that looked like fur from under her feet, there was some confusion in his eyes.

Wen Mianmian put the things on the empty space on the table.

Then they opened it and found a map inside. The two looked at each other with some surprise in their eyes.

"What on earth is this, Master? Can you understand it?"

Wen Mianmian moved the map to the Fourth Master. Although she knew it was a map, she couldn't understand it at all.

But the Fourth Master should be able to understand it.

The Fourth Master took it and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't understand it as Mianmian thought.

Wen Mianmian waited for a long time before she couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Master, can you tell where this is?"

The Fourth Master shook his head and said, "This looks like a map of our dynasty, but it's also a little different." The Fourth Master was a little confused.

He had also seen detailed maps of many places, but he couldn't tell where this place was because there was only a route and no indication of where it was.

Unless you know where you are, this map is just a route in the eyes of others and you can't find the actual location at all.

Wen Mianmian also came over to take a look, and was even more confused. "This map is really weird. Why does it only show the route but not the location? How can you tell where it is?"

This was also the first time she had seen such a map.

"Indeed, this is the first time I've seen a map like this."

"By the way, how did this map appear in your hands?" The Fourth Master asked, only then remembering to do so.

Normally, the waiter would clean up the private room after the guests left, and why didn't they see such a large map when they first came in?

"It was just on the ground..." Wen Mianmian seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of shock flashed in her eyes.

He subconsciously threw the thing to the ground.

"Ouch..." an old voice sounded.

Wen Mianmian and the Fourth Master were startled, and Wen Mianmian nervously grabbed the Fourth Master's hand.

The two of them looked at the map that had just been thrown on the ground.

"Who are you?" The Fourth Master looked at the map on the ground with a cold look and shouted.

The map stopped pretending and stood up. The old voice sounded again: "Hey, little girl, why did you throw me here for no reason? My waist is about to fall apart."

As he said that, he jumped in front of Wen Mianmian and the others, and then with a leap, the map fell back on the table.

But this time the map is standing up, just like a person standing.

"What are you? That thing I saw in the window just now must be you."

Just now she thought she was seeing things, but now it seems that it was not the case. This thing must have come from somewhere.

"I am not a thing. If you didn't have something I wanted, do you think I would care about a little girl like you?"

The map also got angry and sat on the table with a slightly hunched back, looking as if there was really a person inside it.

"Then what are you?" The Fourth Master hugged Mianmian and looked at it warily.

"But I..." He changed the subject, "Why should I tell you?"

"Oh, that's just in case I don't want to know." Wen Mianmian looked at the Fourth Master and said, "Master, are you full? If you are, let's leave."

Wen Mianmian was not afraid of what the map would do to her. After practicing for so long, she had some ability to protect herself, not to mention that the Fourth Master was by her side.

At worst, she had something in her hand that was enough to subdue it, so Wen Mianmian was not afraid at all.

"Well, let's go." The two said as they were about to stand up.

The old man with the map became a little anxious when he saw them like this.

"Hey hey hey, do you know what I am? Aren't you curious?" Ditu stood up angrily and looked at them anxiously.

"Why should I be curious? Don't you know there's a saying that curiosity kills the cat? So why should I be curious?" Wen Mianmian was speechless at what the old man said.

She had a hunch that this old man was a trouble, and if she asked him, he might pester her.

So she didn't want to know what this old man was.

After saying that, the two of them walked towards the door.

"Hey, don't go. I, old man, am a treasure. If you take me with you, you will never be at a loss in the future. It will also be beneficial to your cultivation." The old man with the map said quickly.

"Not interested?" Wen Mianmian and the other person had already walked to the door, and the old man with the map became anxious.

He quickly flew over and lay on the door, not allowing them to leave.

"Little girl, what do you want me to do to stay?"

"I don't want to keep you here. You look like a trouble and I don't want to cause trouble for myself." This thing appeared here for no reason. Who knows what its intentions are.

No matter what kind of treasure it is, Wen Mianmian doesn't want it.

"No, little girl, let me tell you, I'm very useful, and I know everything. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, I can help you. And I promise you that I am definitely not a trouble, but a treasure. As long as you take me in, I will never let you down."

The old man with the map was trying hard to sell himself. "If you don't believe me, I can sign an equal contract with you. Then you don't have to worry."
