Chapter 848 Extra 14: The Luo Family Has Gone Mad, Norton's Daily Wife-Stalking
There is indeed a saying in the feng shui and fortune-telling circles that the older one gets, the more knowledge one gains.
But it's not absolute.
Sikong Shan happened to be in the capital last year and had the good fortune to witness Ying Zijin's killing of the Xie family's eldest elder.
He could naturally tell that Ying Zijin was also a practitioner of ancient martial arts.
However, the feng shui formation set up by the Xie family's eldest elder, which forcibly plunders the fortune of others, can only be broken by a diviner.
He considered himself inferior to the Xie family's Grand Elder, yet the Xie family's Grand Elder was killed so easily by Ying Zijin.
Who can compare to this?
Luo Xiu is either praising him to death or he's just a fool.
Sikong Shan grew angrier the more he thought about it.
Luo Xiu was very surprised: "Master Sikong, what are you talking about? Where are there any other masters here?"
Sikong Shan finally reached his breaking point.
He strode forward, slapped Luo Xiu on the head, grabbed Luo Xiu's ear, and yelled, "Can't you see? Master Ying is standing right in front of you. Are you blind?"
"Master Ying slayed the giant serpent and killed the wicked. I tell you, in the entire Chinese fortune-telling community, no one can compare to Master Ying in such a feat!"
After saying that, Sikong Shan raised his head again: "Master Ying, the fortune tellers in Luonan don't recognize you. They are truly blind. Please don't take it to heart."
"No." Ying Zijing said, one hand in her pocket, her eyes expressionless. "Just a stranger."
“That’s right, my master wouldn’t care about them at all. They’re not even worthy of my master’s attention.” Fifth Moon put her hands on her hips and snorted. “But you, Grandpa Sikong, you’ve bullied me. I’m going to tell on you.”
Sikong Shan: "..."
What a little devil.
Sikong Shansheng said dejectedly, "Then tell me, how should I apologize?"
"I heard that the Sikong family has a pure gold Ruyi (a type of scepter). "It just so happens that my birthday is coming up soon, so Grandpa Sikong can give it to me."
"..."
He knew it.
Sikong Shan was very distressed: "Alright, alright, I'll send someone to deliver it to the fifth family when we get back to the capital."
Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly said, "By the way, girl, do you have a boyfriend? If not, how about considering my grandson?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin raised her eyelashes.
The three of them chatted amongst themselves, but Luo Xiu was gripped by immense panic and fear.
It felt as if a giant hammer had struck him; everything went black before his eyes, his mind went blank, and his ears were ringing.
What did Sikong Shan call Ying Zijin?
Master Ying?!
Luo Xiu felt as if the heavens had played a cruel joke on him.
The reason he took the initiative to come to the haunted house in O Continent was because he learned that Sikong Shan would be bringing his disciples.
He wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Sikong Shan so that he could befriend the master in the capital who slew the snake.
In this way, the Luo family will remain at the pinnacle and never fall.
This is Roche's entire plan.
But he didn't expect that the plan would be stillborn before it even began.
Is Ying Zijin this master?
Behind the fifth person, there was actually this master standing?
This is what you call having no connections?!
Luo Xiu's thoughts were in complete disarray, and his whole body trembled.
They broke off the engagement with the fifth family because the fifth family was becoming increasingly weak.
But who would have thought that Wu Yue would be Ying Zijin's apprentice?
In just a few seconds, Luo Xiu felt a wave of regret wash over her.
But the engagement had already been called off, and they had repeatedly clashed with Fifth Month.
Although it's not exactly a blood feud, we've reached the point where we have no contact with each other anymore.
How can I make more friends?
Luo Xiu's legs went weak. He stared blankly at the girl, opening his mouth to speak: "Master Ying, I..."
Ying Zijing ignored him and turned her head: "Yueyue, let's go in, you lead the way."
"Alright." Fifth Month picked up the compass. "Let's go."
"Master Ying, this haunted house is extremely dangerous," Sikong Shan tried to dissuade her. "Miss Yue is still young, what if..."
“It’s not difficult for Yueyue.” Ying Zijin nodded slightly. “We’ll just watch.”
Having said that, Sikong Shan stopped trying to persuade him and followed him inside.
The haunted house is very large; it's a five-story villa with a large garden.
"Master Ying," Sikong Shan stroked his beard, "do you think the layout of these houses is the main cause of the evil energy?"
"Hmm." Ying Zijing glanced at it and saw through everything. "And there are a few trees in the garden that just happen to be taboo, Yueyue."
"exist!"
"I'm leaving everything to you."
“No problem.” May calculated for a moment. “One hour.”
After that, Sikong Shan and the others were unable to make a move.
In May, he cleaned everything up all by himself.
As he watched, Sikong Shan let out a hiss and sighed deeply, clearly grieving.
The young man beside him looked puzzled: "Isn't Miss Yue going to break the curse of this haunted house? Why are you sighing?"
"I sighed because she's going to break my vow," Sikong Shan said with worry. "It seems that my sons are not worthy of Miss Yue at all."
Everyone: "..."
The layout of the house was altered, and the trees in the garden were cut in half.
Without a physical object to cling to, the malevolent energy completely dissipated.
Sikong Shan's expression hardened, and he shouted, "Everyone, guard your minds to prevent the evil energy from entering your bodies!"
"yes!"
Several young people also became serious and gathered together.
They were well aware that this malevolent energy was the cause of the deaths of more than twenty homeowners.
Now that all the malevolent energy has been unleashed, the situation is even more dangerous.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Fifth Month patted her little chest. "I'll drive them away right away."
Sikong Shan nodded: "Thank you for your trouble, Miss Yue."
Luo Xiu was greatly shocked upon learning Ying Zijing's true identity and found it difficult to concentrate.
The malevolent energy, having found no target to attack, finally found one and with a "whoosh," it all entered Luo Xiu's body.
"Crack! Crack!"
It was the sound of several pieces of jade shattering.
These jade pieces were the ones Luo Xiu had worn since childhood. Their complete shattering signifies that they had cost him several lives.
Luo Xiu let out a scream, and only the whites of his eyes remained.
Sikong Shan was startled and said sharply, "You all stay away, I'll clear the evil energy from his body."
He immediately stepped forward and quickly descended the feng shui formation to expel the evil energy from Luo Xiu's body.
“This evil aura is truly formidable.” Sweat beaded on Sikong Shan’s forehead. “This haunted house is a hundred years old, built in the late 19th century. It’s difficult for me to deal with.”
"Wow, evil energy has entered your body." After clearing away the evil energy, Fifth Month squatted down. "I told you long ago, don't come in if you're not strong enough. Look, what do we do now?"
Luo Xiu couldn't hear what Fifth Month was saying at all; he just kept screaming in agony.
Although he survived, his divination skills declined considerably.
In the Luo family, a clan that values strength above all else, he probably no longer has the qualifications to be the head of the family.
Sikong Shan had also heard about the Luo family's annulment of the engagement from the two young men accompanying him, and he was immediately furious: "That Luo family, how shameless!"
The divination community does indeed place great importance on cause and effect and vows.
The Luo family disregarded the agreement and forcibly broke off the engagement, which Sikong Shan found despicable.
The reason Luo Xiu is in this state now is because he was backfired from forcibly severing cause and effect.
You only have yourself to blame, you deserve it!
"Have the younger generation of the Luo family come and pick him up." Sikong Shan had no good feelings towards Luo Xiu. "After he goes back, he should reflect on his actions."
"Yes, Senior Sikong." The young man began dialing the Luo family's mobile phone number.
"Master Ying, Miss Yue, we really owe you a lot this time." Sikong Shan followed Ying Zijin out, thanking them repeatedly. "When we return to the capital, I will definitely host a banquet for you two."
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Ying Zijing yawned, took a couple more steps, and then suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Keep quiet."
Sikong Shan didn't understand why, but he did as instructed anyway.
Just then, a figure slowly walked towards them from ahead.
The newcomer was dressed in a gray sorcerer's robe, revealing no part of his face.
In May, she inadvertently looked up and saw a pair of venomous eyes, and her throat tightened.
A few minutes later, Ying Zijing finally spoke again: "It's done."
Sikong Shan finally dared to breathe, and he gasped, "Master Ying, what was that just now?"
He had a bad feeling about that person; he was lifeless and seemed devoid of life.
Have you ever heard of the alchemy world?
"I've heard of him." Sikong Shan said in surprise, "Could that person be—"
“They are alchemists from the alchemy world.” Ying Zijin nodded. “It seems that something has changed within the alchemy world as well, otherwise they wouldn’t have come out.”
Sikong Shan suddenly realized: "Master Ying has been to the world of alchemy?"
“I’ve been there twice.” Ying Zijin thought for a moment. “If he can’t solve it, I’ll go visit him in a few days.”
In May, she became interested: "Master, Master, I want to go too."
"No," Ying Zijing disagreed this time. "It's too dangerous there."
In May, she looked dejected and lowered her head: "Fine."
“You haven’t fallen behind in your studies, it’s time to have some fun.” Ying Zijing picked up her phone. “Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll find you a tour guide, and you can take a look around O Continent.”
Fifth Month was stunned: "Huh?"
Ying Zijing had already dialed the number. It rang a few times before being answered. She said, "Hello, it's me."
Xize paused, then asked, "Boss?"
Ying Zijing rarely calls him first, and sometimes when she finds him annoying, she will block him.
"You've got nothing better to do, huh?" Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow. "Come and pick them up."
"Okay." Xize stood up while putting on his clothes: "Who are you picking up?"
"The person who owes you a debt."
Nishizawa: "..."
May, who also heard it, said: "..."
Waaah, even her master has started bullying her.
In May, after a moment's hesitation, she whispered, "Master, I can shop around by myself, I don't really need to—"
"Let him accompany you," Ying Zijing said again. "What, you're still not willing?"
Xize didn't expect Ying Zijin to say something like that so directly. He paused for a moment and then said, "I'm out."
"Okay, my personal safety is in your hands now."
That moment of panic, that moment of loss, was like the wind ruffling the surface of a lake, spreading out ripples in circles.
Every now and then, my heart is stirred.
He had to admit that he had indeed fallen for her.
He returned to Florence these past few days, but he hasn't been able to settle down.
Caesar dressed and instructed Job, "Call the plane."
As he walked, he took out his phone and, for the first time ever, sent a message to Norton.
"You've arrived in the world of alchemy?"
[Dog Scum]: What's up?
It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know that I should be out of the single life before you are.
There was no response from the other side.
Xize stroked his chin and sent another message.
Aren't you jealous?
This time there was a response, and it was a red exclamation mark.
You are no longer his/her friend. Please accept his/her friend request before chatting.
"..."
He really is a piece of trash.
He'll show off then.
**
At this time.
The Alchemy World.
Like other alchemists, Norton wore a sorcerer's robe and a hat that covered his face.
Only when he occasionally looked up did his dark green eyes become as cold as blades, devoid of any warmth.
The entire alchemy world was lifeless and gloomy, unlike the blue skies and white clouds of the ancient martial arts world.
Living in such an environment, alchemists all developed very strange temperaments.
“Norton, it’s rare to see you again.” A middle-aged man approached cautiously. “Your alchemy skills are indeed very strong. So many years have passed, yet your body and appearance have not changed at all.”
"Look at us, our bodies are almost at their limit, we're about to die."
Norton didn't respond; he simply held the bottle and silently gazed at the gray sky and the deep blue sea.
The sea was also a dead sea, devoid of any living creatures except for some alchemical materials.
The middle-aged man, realizing he had made a fool of himself, had no choice but to back away.
"How did it go?" another person grabbed him. "Norton didn't say anything to you?"
"What are you talking about?" The middle-aged man shook his head. "I haven't seen him for two hundred years, and you know his personality."
"He was arrogant and unruly, and apart from his teacher and that other person, he didn't respect anyone else."
Another person frowned: "That's true. The only way to gain the approval of this kind of person is to subdue them by beating them."
The middle-aged man thought for a moment: "What do you think he's going to do when he comes back this time? Could that rumor be true?"
“You mean—” another person suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “He came to kill Mr. Damon?”
Madonna, the foremost alchemist in the world of alchemy.
Everyone wanted to become his disciple.
He only took on two apprentices in his lifetime, one of whom was Norton.
Later, for reasons unknown, the master and apprentice parted ways.
"I'm afraid it's difficult." The middle-aged man scoffed. "He's just thinking about it. Alright, let's go. Let's not keep trying to win him over."
Norton sat quietly for a while, then lazily raised his hand and took out his phone.
He opened the chat software and saw in the pinned chat window that the message sending date was the month before last.
She's a workaholic who's even busier than him when it comes to work; I wonder if she even remembers to eat.
Norton looked languid, flicked the dust off his clothes, and opened the second pinned chat box.
Boss, give me a mobile app.
[Big Sister]: What?
[A system that can wake people up, put them down, and remind them of other tasks at set times, and that must be mandatory.]
[Big Sister]: I suggest you set an alarm. An alarm can meet all your needs.
Ordering them one by one is troublesome, and we can't force anyone to do it.
[Big Sister]: ...
A few minutes later, Ying Zijing sent over the completed program.
Norton ran his fingers over his phone and, using the remote transmission software invented by the hacker alliance, sent the small program to G country.
Before transmitting the data, he didn't find it troublesome; instead, he patiently set up a series of reminders.
I get up at 7 a.m., have lunch at 12 p.m., and go to bed at 11 p.m.
Norton glanced at his watch, his eyes narrowing slightly.
It's exactly twelve o'clock, we can begin.
"Ring ring! Ring ring!"
Sinai was startled awake by the alarm clock.
She opened her phone, looked around, and found an app hidden in a folder.
Sinai clicked uninstall.
The app is not responding, but the ringtone is still ringing.
Sinai frowned slightly and entered a program on his phone, intending to forcefully destroy the app in the background, but he still failed.
Charlotte walked in, asking curiously, "Ms. Sinai, what's wrong?"
“My phone seems to have a virus,” Sinai said, resting his chin on his hand. “But apart from this app that I can’t delete, there are no other problems.”
She studied mechanical engineering, and although her electronics skills couldn't compare to those of students in the computer science department, they weren't bad either.
What kind of virus is so powerful?
“Then let’s go change to another one,” Charlotte said. “It’s the weekend today, Ms. Sinai. You’ve been working for several days in a row. Take a break and let’s go out for a walk.”
She waved her phone: "I bought two tickets to a live house. Let's go, let's have some fun!"
Sinai thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
This app is really strange; it immediately stopped beeping after she stopped working.
It was as if they were spying on her.
**
On the other side.
Luonan.
Luo Xiu was carried back.
This has never happened before in the Luo family.
Mr. Luo rushed forward: "Ziqiu, quickly check on your uncle."
Luo Ziqiu nodded. After finishing the diagnosis, he frowned and said, "The evil energy has entered the body. It's difficult. At most, he'll wake up, but his abilities will probably be ruined."
Mr. Luo was stunned: "Huh?"
It was at this moment that Luo Xiu slowly woke up, his gaze still vacant.
"Uncle, what happened to you in O Continent? Who did you meet?"
Still need to vote! We're a few votes behind the leader, let's all help Ying Huang get some votes!
Yesterday I received a notice from my community that everyone needs to get a nucleic acid test?? I'm so worried, I don't want to smile anymore.
