      The Wife of a Ghost - Lao Xue

      KINDERGARTEN

      CHAPTER 101 - WORSHIPER?

      What was this outfit? What era is it and people wear this?

      I was puzzled and continued to raise my head to look at his face. Then, I instantly knew that this person must be Shen Tuo's father.

      As expected of father and son, the two of them looked like they were carved from the same mold. It was just that Shen Tuo was a lot younger than the old man in front of him.

      I hastily straightened my clothes and walked over to the old man, bowing deeply. To show my respect, my bow was almost ninety degrees, and my hair was almost hanging to the floor.

      Mister Shen, my name is Yan Nuo. I'm here to seek you out as my teacher to learn from you! I didn't look up as I spoke, just remained bowed.

      Yan Nuo's book is yours?

      The old teacher waved the book in front of me. I then straightened my body and smiled, Yes. This was given to me by a friend of mine.

      A light flashed through the old man's eyes, causing me to feel a little frightened.

      Friend? Then your friend is truly generous. He can even give away something like that to anyone he wants!"

      I felt a little bit guilty, after all, Zishan's death wasn't considered my friend, but the word husband made it hard for me to say. In the end, I could only blush as I stood in front of him, unsure of what to do.

      Old mister Shen returned the book to me, then walked in front of the female shop assistant and told her to close the shop. After that, he returned to my side and said, You said that you came to acknowledge me as your teacher, so come with me.

      I gave another deep bow, dragged my luggage behind Elder Song, and followed him to the backyard.

      This was an ordinary farmhouse with a large area of fruitful grapes growing in it. The grape arbor spans the entire yard, where large patches of green form a natural shade.

      Under the awning, there was a table with a few simple dishes on it. An auntie was filling in the bowls and chopsticks in front of the table.

      Elder Song led me to the table and sat at his seat of honor. Aunt sat at his right hand side, so naturally, I sat at his left hand side.

      The two of them seemed to be someone who could neither smile nor smile. The dining table was completely silent for a moment, and even the sound of the chopsticks hitting the bowl seemed to have been magnified to the extreme.

      In the end, I couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer, so I opened my mouth first and said, About that, Mister Shen, I came to pay my respects to my teacher.

      Elder Song nodded his head and continued eating, I know.

      I want to learn the art of sealing.

      Elder Song said: I know.

      I immediately stood up. I learned this spell to save others!

      Elder Song suddenly laughed, You actually dare to use this to harm people?

      "… I really didn't think that this old man would have so much skill in sneering. I didn't know how to respond to that.

      Auntie, who had been eating quietly, could no longer hold it in. Relax, she said while looking at me with a smile, Alright, child, you don't have to be so nervous. We aren't serious people. We just wanted to test your character!

      Try my nature?

      I looked at this aunt and this uncle with a blank face, completely unable to understand what the two of them were talking about.

      Also, I suddenly thought of something. When I was at the hospital in the afternoon, I remembered that Shen Tuo had clearly said that his father had already cut off both his legs. Then why was it that when I saw him just now, he was walking quite often? Although his legs were hidden under the robe, he was indeed walking!

      Mister Shen put down his bowl and chopsticks and took a deep breath. Child, let me ask you again. Who gave you that book just now?

      ME: …

      Seeing that I was still hesitating, Mister Shen continued, Do you know what this book means? What does he represent?

      I know.

      The two elders looked at each other. This time it was the aunt who asked me, Child, then what is your relationship with the person who gave you this book?

      My face reddened slightly. We … we … I was pregnant with his child!

      Two gasps could be heard.

      Mister Shen suddenly slammed the table, causing a pile of chopsticks to almost flip over. I was so frightened that I stood up from my chair.

      This was too sudden! No wonder before I left, Shen Tuo purposely added that his father's temper was a little weird.

      The aunt quickly patted Mr Shen and said angrily, You scared the child! Why are you so nervous!"

      It was only then that Mr Shen hurriedly apologized to me. He stood up and bowed deeply as he said, I've scared you. I'm sorry!

      I quickly sidestepped the bow! He was at a complete loss!

      How come he was still so strict just a moment ago? How come he became like this all of a sudden? Is it because of what I just said?

      No matter what, I cannot accept this bow. Otherwise, I will have to acknowledge him as my master later on, what would happen if I were to be acknowledged by my master?

      I hastily helped Mister Shen up and said, Don't be like this. I'm here to become your disciple. I don't even know what to do with you now.

      Mister Shen then stood up, looked at me and said, You want to learn the sealing array, the seal to gather yin energy to nurture the fetus?

      I shook my head and said, No, it's just that a very vicious ghost appeared in the city I came from. The only way to stop him is to seal him, and one of the formations restricting the movement of ghosts is missing. Then, I heard that you are a 'sir' with great prestige and power, so I took the liberty to come and ask for your help.

      Elder Song muttered to himself, Is that the case? What kind of evil spirit is he?

      Skinner.

      What! Elder Song and his aunt exclaimed together and looked at me in surprise.

      Skinner! Are you sure it's the beast? " Elder Song's face had turned pale in the dark of the night. It could be seen that he understood this skinwalker very well!

      And the way he addressed the skinwalker was exactly the same as Zishan Liang's — Beast!

      Yes, I've already investigated everything that concerns him, and, in the book I just read, it's the skinwalker.

      If you think about it carefully, the word skinwalker came from the old gentleman in the book.

      The aunt fixed her gaze on her old partner and faintly sighed, saying, If this beast comes out, doesn't that mean the thousand year time limit has come?

      Elder Song nodded and said, Yes! We have arrived. A thousand years, I never thought we would be able to catch up.

      I was a little confused by the conversation between the two of them, so I hurriedly asked, What thousand year deadline?

      Mister Shen let out a heavy sigh and sat down, gesturing for me to sit down. Then he said, "I've also read about this thousand year old book. It said that the Ghost King, passed down from generation to generation, suddenly gave birth to two sons.

      The meaning of this so-called 'thousand year deadline' was that Zi Sangan and Zi Sang had already fully matured and were about to fight for the throne.

      At the end of the millennium, the book of grievances left behind by the Ghost King for his son in the mortal world will officially awaken, and the great number of Asura Devils sealed within it will once again appear in this world. Yan Nuo, the Skinner you mentioned just now was a Asura sealed within the book. They don't have any purpose, they just exist to kill people.

      As I listened to Elder Song's ancient voice in my ear, my head started buzzing, and my body was covered with goosebumps.

      At the same time that Teacher Shen paused, Aunt said, Yan Nuo, is it your will or …

      I knew what my aunt was trying to say. He thought it was Zishan who let me do it.

      I replied, I was the one who wanted to do it. Even though it looks like a strenuous task, I am a doctor. Ever since the first day of school, my teacher told me that our lives were as big as the sky. Since I knew that there would be people who would die because of that evil ghost, I couldn't just sit by and do nothing.

      When I had finished, Elder Song was silent for a while and then asked: Child, you must know which road you are going to take! Today you have to face this skinwalker, tomorrow you don't have to face anything! The Skinner was able to deal with the Skinner as though he's ascended to heaven. What if there's someone stronger than him? What will you do?

      I smiled helplessly. How could I not know about this? But even if he knew, what use would it be? Could it be that he stopped here because he felt that there was a mountain in front of him that could crush him to death, waiting for those evil spirits to kill him one by one?

      No, there's no need to think about it.

      Although there wasn't much I could do, and it was possible that I wouldn't be able to persevere or even die, it was still quite useful.

      As for something else, it was still the same line. When a car reaches the top of a mountain, a boat would naturally come to the end of a bridge.

      If there are any stronger ones than the Skinner, I might not be able to deal with them right now. However, I can't guarantee that I won't be able to improve during this period of time. Hehe, although it sounds like you're lying to yourself, I still feel like you can't just let it go."

      Auntie seemed touched by my actions. She actually cried and said, Good child! Good child! Worthy of being the lord's wife!

      I felt a burning sensation on my face, and I didn't expect my aunt to mention Zishan's death at that moment.

      Seeing that I was shy, Auntie wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled as she moved the chair over to sit beside me. Silly child, there's no need to be shy. Auntie is an experienced person.

      Knowing that you are from the past makes you even more shy! After all, I'm only 20 years old. I've been single for 20 years and have just gotten myself a boyfriend and am about to become a mother. This speed is still a little too fast.

      I quickly changed the topic and said to Mr. Shen, Elder Shen.

      Uncle Shen.

      Uncle Shen, can you teach me the art of sealing? That is the real purpose of my visit.

      Of course I can. I will definitely help out with everything I have.

      Just as Uncle Shen finished his sentence, the bright moonlight that was shining in the courtyard suddenly disappeared, and a blue light suddenly lit up behind me. A slightly chilly wind blew past my back, and a familiar smell, voice, and familiar person appeared behind me.

      Zi Sang's hands gently wrapped around my waist as he coldly said to the dumbstruck old couple in front of me, This place hasn't been peaceful recently. Please protect her for this king.

      It wasn't a question, but a statement. Or rather, it might seem like a request, but it was actually an order.

      The old couple clearly did not expect to see the royal family of the underworld here. They were stunned for a moment. Uncle Shen recovered his composure first before kneeling to the ground with a thump. I realized that he could walk because he had a prosthetic leg.

      Following which, aunty knelt to Zishan and kowtowed three times to the young master of the Underworld, who seemed to be around twenty years old, behind me.

      CHAPTER 102 - IT WAS ALSO CONSIDERED TO BE THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE SEVENTH MONTH.

      I finally understood why Shen Ta's expression was like that when he said I could move out the Sang Shen Lunge. He knew that as long as he could bring out the Sang Shen Lunge, my position in his parents' eyes would be different, supreme!

      But I don't want to!

      I tried to free myself from the throats of the yucca to help the two old men, but they didn't seem to want to get up, so I held on to them as best I could. It was not until I cast a somewhat sullen look at Zishan that he said, Stand up, and the two old people stood up.

      However, because Uncle Shen's prosthesis had been released, he could only sit back down on the chair.

      How can you watch two old men kneel before you! I said angrily to Zishan.

      The Zishan water completely ignored me, and still stood arrogantly in the blue light, a face even brighter than the moonlight.

      Uncle Shen said, Yan Nuo, don't talk to His Highness like that. We are different, Your Highness. People will always die of sickness or sickness, and sooner or later, we will also be subjects of the underworld. Furthermore, people like me, who understand Yin Yang Rite Law, have to bow down to His Highness, don't look at my good-for-nothing son being lawless!

      I was stunned and turned my head to look at Uncle Shen in a daze, How do you know that I know Shen Tuo?

      Uncle Shen gave a cold snort and said, Although I won't let this kid go home, he's still his father. What's wrong with him that I don't know? Besides, you said that you're from that city, and you can find me there. If it's not him, who else could it be?

      I was a little embarrassed. I was planning to head back after learning the Sealing Technique, not mentioning Shen Tuo. I didn't expect that Uncle Shen would already know about it. I was the only one who thought he had hidden it well.

      Suddenly, when I wasn't paying attention, he took me in his arms again. A cool breath came over me, and then I was in a whirl.

      I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around Zishan's waist.

      He seemed to have lost weight. In the past, when he hugged her, his breathing was much more mellow than it was now. Indeed, he suffered a lot last time in order to help me recover.

      I felt like I was standing on the ground, but my hands didn't let go of his waist, and I buried my face in his chest, feeling sad and happy.

      The reason for this feeling was probably because it was the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Although it was not a lunar calendar, it was still the same number, so it could be considered a Valentine's Day.

      On my way to the Shen family, I saw several couples holding each other's arms and hugging each other. Heaven knows how much I admired them at that time, and I wished that Zishan would immediately appear by my side.

      But no, no matter how hard I looked at the empty space beside me, Zishan's death did not appear.

      The book had been in my luggage, but I was so upset that I took it out and put it in my backpack.

      He carried her all the way and thought about her.

      I don't know if it was because the power I missed was too great, but tonight, he actually came.

      Although I was annoyed to see the two old men from the Shen family bowing to him, it didn't matter to me that they were hugging him as they did now.

      So I could miss him that much too.

      Zi Sang's hands gently covered my back, and he rubbed it gently. Yan Nuo, you've lost weight.

      I nodded inside his clothes, then shook my head.

      I did lose weight, and when I looked in the mirror in the morning it felt like all the meat I'd managed to raise before I was twenty was gone. But I didn't want him to say I'd lost weight.

      Because he had a heart attack. It's just that he has a stroke, and I don't want him to know that I'm not doing well.

      I didn't realize until just a moment ago that I could be so hesitant and sentimental.

      The biting cold of the operating table was completely gone in this embrace!

      Why did you come today? He clearly knew that those words were unnecessary, but he still wanted to find something to say to Ye Zichen. It was as if Ye Zichen was afraid that the time they spent together wasn't long enough for Ye Zichen to properly cherish him, so he was going back.

      The hand placed behind my back increased its strength, and when I spoke, I let out a slight breath of cold air that tickled my ears.

      Of course I miss disease. If we don't treat it properly, This King will probably die.

      I gently rubbed my hand against his body. Don't talk nonsense! He was a ghost after all, so what else could he die for?

      I got up from his arms and studied his face in the moonlight. He still had that cold and proud face, and he didn't smile at me, but his eyes were still gentle as he looked at me.

      As I looked at him, I suddenly thought of something I wasn't very happy about. Although I knew that I should cherish my current time, I still secretly glared at him. I remembered the day we were just married, when he had hugged me and said, It's so ugly. Hmph, that is the most shocking evaluation I've heard after living for twenty years and becoming a school beauty for twelve years. Also, that Shen Tuo, what kind of trash is that?

      What did they all want? It's just that it looks a little unsafe, but I have always been a very single-minded person, never with flowers and grass, flowers and plants provoke me I would properly refuse.

      I'm so safe and they actually use this kind of trash to judge me!

      How infuriating!

      Thinking about this made him feel as if he was immersed in his own world. He actually turned around and no longer paid any attention to the Sang Chi.

      Zi Sang's brows knitted together. He didn't know that he was fine just now, but why did she suddenly ignore him? Not only did she ignore him, she was even a little angry …

      Yan Nuo, did This King just hug you?

      Zishan tried to speak to me.

      I tilted my head slightly and looked out of the corner of my eye. There probably weren't many people in the mortal world that would dare to look at him like that, or perhaps it was something that had never happened before in his life.

      So when I looked at him in this way, he actually looked a little puzzled.

      Forget it, it was impossible to let him know what a woman was thinking. The irresistible force of Mind Reading did not matter.

      I turned around and looked at him with an unfriendly gaze. I suddenly remember what you said to me when we got married in the main hall of your Underworld.

      What do you mean? Zi Sang's eyes began to show a faint smile. He had obviously remembered, but he wanted me to tell him.

      Sly fellow, did you think I would be embarrassed to say that? You underestimate me. I'm not such a reserved person.

      You said I'm so ugly! hmph, since I'm so ugly, don't look at me like that. I'm surprised myself. I actually know how to be a petty person! This was something I had been completely unable to imagine many years ago. I had always thought of myself as a calm and composed person, but I didn't seem to know myself very well.

      But you still have Ben's child in your belly.

      So you came to see me for the sake of your child? Did that mean that all those tender, friendly, pampered gestures and expressions before were simply the result of his child in my arms?

      I felt a little cold on my face. I was sure that my face had also turned pale. My back was stiff as I stared straight at Zishan's body, and I felt a little pain in my heart.

      Suddenly, Zishan's body, which was standing in my line of sight a moment ago, shifted. By the time I reacted, he was already beside me.

      I gently pinched my lower jaw to the point where I raised my gaze just in time to look up at him. Yan Nuo, do you know why I call you ugly?

      I struggled to free myself from his hand on my jaw. Is there a reason for being ugly?

      He tightened his grip. I didn't pull away.

      That's because your panicked expression is extremely ugly. You want to be the queen? How can you be so flustered?

      Wasn't he the one who was scared by him! It's the first time I've seen a ghost in twenty years, so it's natural for me to be afraid. However, after seeing it more often, other than the fact that it looked a little creepy, it was hard to say if it was due to fear. After all, it was much better than before.

      I no longer struggled with Zishan's hands as I looked at him with slight resentment in my eyes. Then tell me, am I still that ugly?

      He didn't answer directly. Instead, he gently covered my eyes with his other hand, and just as I was at a loss, my lips touched a cool wetness.

      It was as though I was struck by lightning. I didn't know what to do for a moment and just stood straight. Towards this sudden kiss, I had completely forgotten how to respond.

      Open your mouth.

      The sound of the Sang's voice came into my ears, and I opened my mouth slightly, almost numbly. Before I could catch my breath, an even more violent kiss fell into my somewhat scorching mouth.

      My mind was completely blank at the moment, but I could see through his fingers that his eyes were closed, or he might have said I was ugly again if he had seen the look on my face.

      Soon, the intoxicating warmth in my mouth receded, and the hand that covered my eyes was removed from my face. He smiled as he stood closest to me, looked at me, and said, How ugly!

      You! I really want to bite him! You just kissed me and then you say ugly, does this count as giving a sweet jujube and then giving it a slap?

      However, This King likes it. Before I could get ready to bite him, another sweet date hit me right in the face.

      I dove into my arms again, my shy face hidden in his large clothes, and for a moment I thought that if only time could stand still. Although he was somewhat deceiving himself, he still had a beautiful wish.

      CHAPTER 103 - WHY ARE YOU GUYS HERE?

      Why are you here?

      In the end, the brief reunion with Sang was still in the dawn. It was time for them to part. I watched him become transparent in my arms and then disappear. I felt like I was drowning, sad and sad at the same time.

      I stood there all night, my legs a little numb, and went back to Uncle Shen's yard. The couple had already woken up early to clean up that small farmhouse. The shop assistant who pushed me down last night also came over to apologize the moment she saw me.

      Miss Yan, I was in the wrong last night. Don't mind me. I … I didn't know what to say. I patted her shoulder and shook my head, indicating that she was fine. I didn't blame her.

      But after all, I had just separated from Zishan, so my mood wasn't very good. Therefore, this seemingly very friendly shake of my head seemed to have changed in the eyes of others.

      The little girl's face suddenly flushed red when she saw my expression. Her big watery eyes also became watery.

      He grabbed my arm and said in a choked voice, Miss Yan, you must forgive me, or else Uncle Shen will kick me out, Miss Shen. As he said this, he even seemed to have the intention of kneeling down. I quickly stopped her and forced a smile onto my face.

      It's okay, I don't blame you. Seriously, I just had a dream last night. I was in a bad mood, so don't mind it. I helped her wipe the tears from her face and comforted her carefully.

      I think we're about the same age. What's your name?

      In order to dispel her worries, I took the initiative to ask her.

      My name is Li Huan. I've been here since I was young. It was Uncle Shen who brought me up.

      No wonder she was so afraid of being kicked out of here, no wonder she stopped me so boldly last night when she heard I was looking for Elder Song.

      My name is Yan Nuo and I might be staying here for a few days. I'll have to trouble you to take care of me. Li Huan watched as my emotions gradually softened. Finally, she was no longer as reserved as before.

      He happily grabbed my hand and said, Rest assured that you will stay here. I will take care of you!

      Boss, three people table, while I was talking with Li Huan, the door of farmhouse music suddenly opened, a familiar voice in my ear, I seemed to sit on the butt of a needle, jumped up.

      I looked straight at the three people who had come in, who were also standing in the doorway, looking straight at me.

      Why are you guys here?

      Why are you here?

      We asked in unison.

      However, just as I finished my sentence, the prettiest of the three started pointing at my nose and scolding, Yan Nuo! Alright, now that you have the guts, you dare to carry Sister Jing and run around?!

      Another girl pointed at the tip of my nose and said, That's right, didn't you say you went to your relatives' house? What? Did your relatives move?

      The one in the middle was the calmest, but it was more frightening to be calm than not being calm.

      These three are my roommates!

      Sister Jing was the last to speak. She didn't point at me or say anything excessive. She waved at me and said, Yan Nuo, come over here. Waiter, give us a private room.

      I felt my heart thump. Crap, it seems like Sister Jing is really angry. If I were to get to the room later, I would have to behave myself.

      I was caught in the middle of the three, and followed closely behind them. As soon as I entered the box, the three of them surrounded me in a semicircle, and Yan Nan didn't forget to close the door behind them. He also told the waiter not to order any dishes here, and that we would call for her if there was anything we wanted.

      Then I saw Li Huan answer with a puzzled expression, carrying the menu back to the bar.

      An An, who was the first one to point at me, was sitting by Sister Jing's side, trying to incite the issue of me not coming home during my vacation.

      Sister Jing, I already told you that there must be something going on between Yan Nuo and that policeman. Look, she's not home for the holidays, so she must be staying to meet her boyfriend. I'm guessing that policeman must be here too!

      That cop isn't my boyfriend. He's not here right now.

      An An An looked surprised. Ah? If it's not here, then where did you hide it? "

      I rolled my eyes. He didn't listen to what I said about him not being my boyfriend.

      How would I know where he is? I'm here to look for someone.

      Yan Nan chuckled as he propped his face up with one hand. Are you here to see the parents of that little policeman?

      I was stunned and all the hairs on my body stood up. How did you know?

      Yan Nan had an indifferent expression as he said, Of course I know. Otherwise, why do you think we would come all the way here?

      Sister Jing finally spoke up, We were worried about that little policeman, so we had someone investigate his family's situation and found out that his parents lived here. Furthermore, it wasn't far from our home, so we decided to meet up.

      Not far away, I remember that Sis Jing's house should be over 300 kilometers away from the city. The long distance train would take 4 hours, the train would take 7 hours, and there would be no planes.

      They actually felt a bit warm after running so far away for the sake of investigating this little policeman. They knew that my cute roommates were really doing it for my own good, but they also felt a bit awkward.

      Originally, I came here to learn the Sealing Glyph. Now that they have arrived, how am I supposed to learn it? It was only for a few days. I thought that it wasn't enough, then wouldn't it be even more so now?

      My face began to fall, and there was nothing I could do about the women.

      Yan Nuo, we don't actually care that much. We just feel that since we're living together in the same dorm room, it's fated to be fated by the heavens. We're like family, I don't want you to hide anything from us, of course, if you feel that this is related to your privacy, you can say so, but you should at least let us be at ease.

      It's here, Sister Jing's emotional bombardment!

      We have always been a little afraid of Sister Jing, a big reason is that Sister Jing, as the older sister in the dorm, usually treats us like children. We actually trained a kind of kung fu similar to mother's, which is the kung fu of mouth.

      It can be said that as long as Sister Jing asks, even my mother would be willing to admit defeat.

      As for me, there's no need to mention me.

      Taking advantage of the fact that Sis Jing's mouth is a little dry, stopping to talk and drink, I hurriedly pulled myself together and interrupted, Sis Jing, An An, Yan Nan, listen to me. The truth is, the reason I didn't come home is because I have a master here, and to one who is Shen Tuo's father. The reason I got off halfway home this time is because I suddenly received a message from Master, and then I came, it's not like what you guys just thought."

      In order to convince them, I stood up to go out and find a witness or something. If I can't, I'll have Uncle Shen come over and help me tell them.

      I didn't have to lie to them, and it wasn't a lie, but there were some things they couldn't take. I love them, so I don't want them to get hurt.

      After the incident with the red-clothed vengeful spirit nearly caused Yan Nan to get injured, I was already extremely afraid. If I let the other two people get into danger, I felt that I might be unable to do anything else due to self-blame.

      Maybe he could tell them everything later, but that was later, not now.

      Aiya, you don't need to look for me. We don't care who's disciple you are. We just know that you're Yan Nuo's roommate and that you can't be tricked by others. That's why we're here meddling in other people's business.

      I hastily sat down and held An An's hand. How can I be considered meddling in other people's business!? I know you're doing this for my own good. "

      An An took out her hand and said, It's good that you know it. Don't be so corny. I like men. You will make me misunderstand if you do this!

      I helplessly smiled and said to Sister Jing, Sister Jing, look at her.

      Sister Jing put down the glass in her hand and sighed. Yan Nuo, we actually don't want to care too much about it, but …

      I know, Sister Jing. You are all doing this for my own good. I'm very happy, really!

      The atmosphere in our room finally settled down, and there was a light knock on the door. An old and slightly hoarse voice came from outside the door. Yan Nuo, it's time to go.

      I recognized Uncle Shen. I had an appointment with him this morning to start learning the seal at eight o'clock. We have to go into the mountains later, we can't be too late, otherwise the sun will have too much of an impact on the seal, it will be very difficult to learn.

      I hurriedly got up and said to my three roommates, I'm leaving, you guys can eat first.

      Just as they reached the door, Sister Jing's voice sounded again. Then when will you be back?

      Probably at night. Then they seemed to say something else, but I had closed the door, and I didn't know exactly what they were talking about.

      When I came out, Uncle Shen was waiting for me at the door of the farmhouse. He was still wearing his long vest, but at the moment he was carrying a cloth bag over his shoulder.

      Compared to him, I brought nothing with me. I was like an idler.

      Embarrassed, I hurried over to Uncle Shen and asked, Do I need to bring anything?

      Uncle Shen said, You don't need to bring it with you, but it might use up some of your blood later. It won't be too much, but it'll hurt a little. You have to bear with it.

      Alright. After that, I followed Uncle Shen all the way to a mountain behind the village.

      The mountain looked easy to climb. Only those who entered the mountain would know that it wasn't that simple.

      There weren't many trees on the mountain, but because of the climate, there was a lot of moss here. The rocks were completely covered with moss, and just by walking a few steps, one would be able to slip and stumble on the moss.

      I almost fell down the mountain many times because of this. If it wasn't for Uncle Shen by my side, I think that 'almost' would have become a certainty.

      I watched Uncle Shen tread carefully on the moss, sometimes even jumping up and down, almost admiring him.

      Uncle Shen, how did you manage to walk on the mountain as though it was flat ground with your legs like this?

      CHAPTER 104 - SEAL ARRAY

      These words were said with a hint of politeness, but I was really curious about this matter.

      Uncle Shen smiled and said, It's not really that strange. I often walk on the mountains. I'm already familiar with the mountains, so naturally, I can relax a little.

      Uncle Shen seemed to be speaking very easily, as if he had just eaten something in the morning, but I could tell if it was actually that easy or not.

      I'm a healthy man who can crawl around here and sway from the instability of my feet, not to mention him. He must have suffered a lot at the beginning of his walk up the hill.

      And all of this, Shen Tuo did not know.

      Actually, Uncle Shen's words last night had quite a big effect on me. It was the words, I am his father after all. No matter what, the relationship between father and son was always broken. Even though they had made such a huge ruckus back then due to their tempers, after all, so much time had already passed. Time could change many things, and people's hearts were the same.

      From Shen Ta's expression when he mentioned his father to me and Uncle Shen Ta's emotions when he mentioned it, I can tell that the father and son duo no longer have any feelings for each other.

      Uncle Shen had always been concerned about Shen Tuo, and Shen Tuo had always been thinking about his father. It's just that he couldn't give up his face and wasn't willing to admit to the other party that he was wrong.

      I feel that after this time I should properly talk it out with Shen Tuo to let him go home and have a look. I don't know if I missed them or not, but I don't think their eyes would lie.

      As he was thinking, he unknowingly arrived at a cove with an altar.

      If one were to look from the top of the mountain, this cove might not be very conspicuous, but if one were to look from the bottom of the cove, then one could see that if the mountain range on both sides were seen as human arms, then this col was as if the two arms were holding the cove in the middle.

      There was a small circular river around the cove. It perfectly surrounded the col and the altar.

      Although I didn't understand what Feng Shui was doing, I felt an unending stream of power flowing through my body as soon as I arrived here. The small bowl of goat's blood that I drank secretly in the morning suddenly started burning in my lower abdomen, and a warm feeling spread throughout my body in a trance.

      It's the first time I've felt so comfortable since I had this baby!

      That previously familiar feeling of relaxation was like being bathed in warm water. All the pores on his body relaxed, and his breathing became incredibly smooth.

      Suddenly, the baby, who had always been quiet in my stomach, seemed to have grown a little bit. I felt my stomach swelling up. I peeked at my lower abdomen. At this moment, a dense multi-colored light was surrounding my lower abdomen.

      I was surprised to feel one of them. What's going on? I asked Uncle Shen.

      Uncle Shen looked very surprised, but he quickly laughed and said, This formation has the ability to gather pure Yin Qi from the mountains. It should be because you have a pure Yin Body and because you have the little prince in your belly, that change is happening. Do you feel unwell?

      I shook my head. No. Not only is there nothing wrong, but I also feel very comfortable. It's as if I'm doing sauna. The depression in my body is starting to slowly dissipate.

      This formation might be of some use in your nurturing of the womb, hehe … Uncle Shen chuckled. He laughed so hard that I felt embarrassed and his face was flushed red.

      I should learn formations first! I said.

      I think I might be even more embarrassed if I said something more about nurturing the baby.

      Uncle Shen did not continue the banter. He took out some yellow paper, a peach wood sword and a small dagger from his backpack.

      The sealing array is actually very simple, but it's very difficult to control. If you want to control the seal, you must control the force precisely. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would be able to achieve twice the results and even injure himself. Yan Nuo, are you ready?

      I gathered all of my emotions and solemnly said, I'm ready.

      Uncle Shen stood up straight in front of the altar and took out a candle from his pocket. There was no fire, just two sword fingers in his right hand. He made a casual cut in the air and a flame appeared on the fingers.

      My eyes, which had been watching everything from the side, suddenly lit up! This is the third time I've seen someone who can do this, and he is also the master who will teach me the art of sealing.

      Does that mean I can also learn this later?

      Uncle Shen lit the candle and placed it on a candlestick that had been standing on top of the altar. His fingers relaxed a little, and the fire spark that had been burning on the tip of his finger instantly disappeared.

      Uncle Shen, no, master, can you also teach me this thing that is lit with your finger?

      After I finished speaking, I was still looking forward to it in my heart, but Uncle Shen didn't even look at me as he continued to prepare what he needed, This won't do, what can ignite a fire is something with yang energy in the world, the power of heaven and earth, the yin energy in your body is too heavy, you can't learn it. I will first demonstrate a sealing formation to you, then I will teach you.

      I said 'oh' and felt a little heartbroken. I thought I would be able to learn a few other things while learning the Sealing Technique, but from the looks of it, it seems that it isn't going to work.

      Uncle Shen had already prepared everything he needed for the seal.

      In front of the candlestick, there were three yellow papers placed evenly in front of it. Each yellow paper had Uncle Shen's blood imprinted on it. Uncle Shen held the peach wood sword in his hand, and the way he swung the sword was a bit twisted.

      The blood on the yellow paper was in fact a medium between the caster and the victim. It would guide the sealed objects towards their destination and not fly around.

      Although Uncle Shen's swinging of the peach wood sword was difficult, and his movements were slightly twisted, he had to admit that this posture was actually very beautiful. It looked like an ancient gentleman waving his sleeves and singing at a banquet.

      As he brandished the peach wood sword, he muttered something in a low voice, but it was too soft for me to hear.

      After about a minute, the three pieces of yellow paper, which had been quietly placed in front of the candlestick, rose into the air and gradually formed a circular arrangement in the air. Then, they began to spin faster and faster, as if they were going to split apart at any moment.

      I kept my eyes fixed on the three pieces of yellow paper. I thought I could see some changes in them, even if I couldn't see them clearly, but I was thinking too highly of myself.

      I couldn't see any changes to it. I just looked at it, and the yellow paper's circle grew larger and larger, and after it grew larger, there were originally only three yellow papers in the air.

      Very soon, the yellow paper turned into a huge cover. At the same time, the cover started to change from a circular shape to a hexagram.

      Suddenly, the previously sunny weather was overcast. A large amount of black clouds rose from the hexagram and gradually formed a huge curtain of clouds in the sky. The black curtain of clouds was frighteningly deep, as if a black hole had been forcibly opened up in the Heaven Realm. It was unknown when a large number of heavenly soldiers would emerge from that hole.

      A strong wind was blowing in the sky, and the trees at the top of the mountain could be seen swaying back and forth in the wind. Some of the smaller saplings were almost torn off the ground by the wind.

      It seems that the wind is much weaker in this col, so I am not blown into the sky.

      Instinctively, I took a step back, but strangely, I couldn't!

      My feet seemed to have been frozen in place, and no matter how I moved, I couldn't move the slightest bit. There was also the candlestick on the altar, and even though there was already a strong wind blowing, my hair was blown all over my face, and I couldn't move it. He didn't show any signs of moving.

      Uncle Shen's movements suddenly became more violent. Just a moment ago, he had been wielding a peach wood sword, but it had now become a hacking motion.

      He quickly placed the peach wood sword over the candle and used the weak flame to climb onto the entire blade of the sword! The wooden sword that had originally been there had now become a flaming sword that burned with dark blue flames.

      The tip of the sword suddenly pointed towards the center of the six-pointed star formed by the yellow paper in the sky. The blue flame that was originally coiling around the sword was like a long snake, roaring as it rushed to the center of the six-pointed star. Then, with a loud bang, the six-pointed star suddenly turned into a purgatory of blue light.

      The black clouds in the sky became a huge, dark cage, and the flat surface of the hexagram became the bottom of the cage.

      He hadn't seen anything on the hexagram just now, but at this moment, the blazing blue flame had discovered that there were already many invisible ghosts imprisoned within the hexagram.

      They struggled, rolled, and even bit each other in the flames.

      However, from the looks of it, their abilities weren't that great. This was because the flames had only burned for less than a minute before the monsters turned into glowing particles and disappeared into the thick clouds.

      Uncle Shen quickly retracted his peach wood sword and stood in front of his body. The dark clouds in the sky also began to condense. The hexagram slowly began to shrink and spin in the opposite direction. It grew smaller and smaller until it returned to its original three yellow papers. The black cloud had already condensed to the size of a thin snake. It circled in the air for a while before transforming into three streaks of black light and charged towards the three yellow papers. Then, with a pa sound, it smashed itself into a puddle and splashed itself onto the three yellow papers.

      Only then did Uncle Shen fly into an arc and sheathed his peach wood sword behind his back. He then extended his hand to receive the three pieces of yellow paper in midair.

      His breathing was a little ragged, and his forehead was covered in beads of sweat. The hand holding the yellow paper seemed to be holding something extremely heavy, and was still trembling.

      CHAPTER 105 - LINGERING GHOST

      He handed the yellow paper over to me, See that? That formation just now was a sealing technique, and it was the highest level one at that. This … dealing with the Skinner should be enough.

      Only then did I realize that I could move. I took the yellow paper and looked at it carefully, at the spot where the black cloud had just entered. The three pieces of yellow paper were all different. Some of them depicted evil spirits with miserable deaths, while some depicted flowers, plants, insects, and fish.

      Is this what was sealed in? I asked Uncle Shen.

      They are all monsters in the mountains, probably just like that. However, they have been living in the mountains the entire time, and I have caused them a calamity just because I wanted to learn a sealing array.

      Yes, this is the seal that just sealed them, but because their power is too great, this level of sealing is a little too big for them. I felt it a moment ago, about 10% of the seal's power is already gone! "That's right, that's right, this is the seal that just sealed them, but because their power is too unfavorable, so this level of sealing is a bit too big for them.

      Huh? Uncle Shen spoke in a relaxed manner, but when I heard him, I was surprised. You're already scared out of your mind? Didn't they say that it was a sealing formation? How did my soul get shattered?

      The sealing array is indeed strong, but it must be suppressed before it is sealed. If it cannot be suppressed, then it naturally cannot be sealed as well. This is normal, because under this suppression, if it is too weak, then it would not be surprising if it cannot withstand this kind of power.

      For example, some fish can live very well on the surface of the sea, but they will die when they reach the bottom. The water is the same water, but it won't be able to withstand too much pressure.

      Uncle Shen saw that I seemed to be anxious because the monsters were scared out of their wits, so he tried to find a way to comfort me.

      I'm not a sentimental person. I understand the logic, but sometimes I just feel caught off guard because of something.

      I understand, Uncle Shen, I said. The stronger you are, the stronger you will be. Alright, let's begin!

      After that was a long learning time. The entire magic circle didn't need to draw those seemingly complicated runes. It only needed to control the peach wood sword, the yellow paper, control the Dao, and maintain the candle flame.

      It seemed that this was much simpler than drawing talismans. However, only when one was truly adept at drawing talismans would one know that this was truly not simple.

      Just learning that stuttering incantation was enough to blow my head off. Furthermore, not only did I have to memorize this stuttering incantation, I also had to turn it into my instinct. Only by setting up the altar would I be able to remember this incantation.

      I basically didn't do anything else for the rest of the day. It was just that I was carrying those incantations on my back until the sun was setting in the west and if we didn't return, I would definitely be unable to see the road.

      As a student of the medical academy, I don't know much about pharmacology and pathology, but it took me an entire day to memorize these incantations. Honestly speaking, I feel that I have hurt my pride, but luckily, I have memorized them.

      Uncle Shen saw the anxiety on my back, and made mistakes over and over again. He even chatted with me for a while to ease my emotions, and talked about Shen Tuo. He said that when Shen Tuo used to recite those incantations, he would only be able to recite them over a week, and even Uncle Shen himself had to recite them for over half a month!

      But I was really restless, I didn't have much time, I couldn't waste it on spells!

      In order to consolidate his feelings, he didn't linger on the way down the mountain. He carried his way all the way home, not even knowing that he had to keep walking when he reached home.

      Fortunately, I went with Uncle Shen, or I would have walked all the way to the bus stop under the dark sky.

      Auntie Shen had already prepared dinner at home. Uncle Shen was very polite to me and insisted that I eat as well. However, I rejected his offer.

      It's not that I'm unhappy, I really can't eat these ordinary meals right now. If I were to go and everyone had a good meal, I would vomit once. That would only ruin everyone's mood!

      I might as well go back and starve for a while, or go to the farmhouse restaurant in the front yard and find some raw blood that hadn't been cooked yet.

      The Shen family's farmyard was built in the front and back of the house. The big front yard had the farmhouse, and the small back yard was where the family lived. It was not too far away, so it was convenient to manage.

      Yan Nuo, it doesn't matter if you're scared to the point of not getting used to it. You can eat it, and we can eat it too. Let's go.

      Seeing how I kept rejecting his offer, Uncle Shen's expression didn't look too good either. Thus, he said those words in the end.

      I was at a loss for words. After staring blankly for a long time, I felt embarrassed to insist. It was really bad for me to keep refusing such a generous invitation. In the end, I followed Uncle Shen to the backyard. However, when I saw what was on the table, I was moved to tears.

      The two elders actually made a pot of blood soup to take care of my appetite, and what was placed in front of me was a bowl of overheated pig's blood.

      In the past, whenever I thought of being hungry and wanting to drink blood, I would feel very sad, because I have to hide in a place without anyone to do anything about it. I have to solve it by myself and occasionally drink in front of Shen Tuo.

      I've never dared to think that I could eat with someone else one day, or that I could eat with someone else … ….

      As he ate and ate, he thought about too much. Gradually, the warmth in his heart became unimaginable. He lowered his head even more, as if he wanted to stuff himself into a bowl.

      Suddenly, just as I was eating warmly, someone pushed me from behind. I couldn't sit still, so I threw my face straight into the bowl. My hands loosened up instinctively, and with a smack, the bowl fell to the ground!

      Who is it! I was shocked and angry at the same time. The previous scene was too embarrassing. Even though my face was covered with a layer of pig's blood, I could feel that my face was even redder than pig's blood! It even seemed to be on fire!

      Sure enough, when I turned around, the first thing that entered my eyes was An An's mischievous look, Yan Nuo, what are you eating? You were giggling at the same time. I was behind you and told you to ignore me, so I had no choice but to do this! Hehe."

      Then don't push too! A good bowl of blood, I haven't even drunk it yet and I've already wasted it. What a pity. I don't know if auntie still has more. I was too busy being happy just now and only drank a few mouthfuls. I'm not full at all.

      Animal blood like pig's blood and goat's blood is completely different from human blood. If I drink some human blood, I might be able to hold on for a day, but animal blood, I need a lot of. Sometimes it needs to be eaten three times a day, just like eating three meals a day.

      I glared at An An as I wiped the blood off my face. The blood soup that Auntie made for me has been completely destroyed!

      Blood? Yan Nuo, weren't you the one who didn't like eating these things the most in the past? Anthea seemed to realize that she went too far just now. Her smile faded as she whispered to me.

      I have to change my taste all the time, and my body hasn't been doing very well recently. That's why auntie made this blood soup for me! I cried again.

      Seeing that An An really did something that made me unhappy, Sister Jing naturally didn't try to protect him. She patted An An's shoulder. You're still being mischievous! Such a big person! Hurry up and apologize! "

      An An An stuck out her tongue before she walked in front of me and carefully tugged on my arm, swinging it back and forth. She pouted and said, Yan Nuo, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please don't be angry.

      It's here, An An's apology for acting like a spoiled child! I knew she would be like this! She was the youngest in the dorm. From the time we first learned of each other's age, we had always taken care of her. Later on, we had pampered her and treated her like a treasure in the dorm. If she made a mistake, as long as it wasn't too excessive, as long as she acted like a spoiled brat and apologized, everyone would forgive her.

      I patted her hand and said helplessly, It's okay, I'm not angry! It was this that wasted Auntie.

      I turned my head to look at Auntie Shen who had been quietly eating by the side without saying a word. I'm really sorry.

      What do you mean sorry? There's more in the pot. There's no need to be so formal with this child.

      When I heard that there were still more in the pot, my eyes immediately lit up. Eating is the biggest thing in the world.
