Chapter 009: The Mysterious Predictions of the Ma Yi (Part Two)

Xiao Xiang exclaimed, "So urgent, I haven't even asked for leave yet"

I suddenly feel something is amiss. Why, at this critical moment, does Xiao Xiang have to leave school, and specifically tonight? Does Wu Long Qiu know that this matter will go awry, yet still insists on proceeding, perhaps to allow Xiao Xiang to avoid it in advance? The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel. I believe it is safer to trust that girl, after all, she would never harbor any ill intentions towards me.

I was so frustrated upon hearing this that I felt like banging my head against the wall. Why is it always me? Didn't you, you little brat, say that the own goal was impressive? Compared to him, I am nothing. He is confident that he can handle Feng Lan, so why do you insist that I go to my doom? Does the Earth not spin without me?

On the way back to school, my mood gradually calmed down, and I finally asked the girl about what she had debated with Wu Long, as I found it utterly confusing.

Xiao Xiang and Xiao Ying were also in high spirits, and immediately each was moved, not expecting that I could also come up with a set of theories shrouded in clouds and mist

"This is simple. I will say a sentence, and you just follow with a sentence. Do not worry about him losing interest," the confident girl said.

Have you figured it out? But I am not interested anymore, goodbye

The girl laughed at me and said, "How about that? We definitely scared him! He won't dare to go to the grove tonight. Let's go prepare our things and leave!"

Hmph, don't give me that. I don't believe you can protect your own henhouse.

Wu Long lowered his head, his temples glistening with beads of sweat, seemingly oblivious to the fact that someone was speaking on his behalf. This situation was entirely unexpected; I never anticipated that a few words from the dead girl would reduce the formidable Master Wu Long to a state of utter defeat, leaving only his pride behind. Moreover, his disheveled appearance made him look as if he had aged several decades. I couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for the dead girl.

I nodded slightly, and it was my turn to propose a toast. After finishing a drink with Master Wu Long, I smiled and said to him: "Master Wu Long, I have heard that the small grove is wide in the east and narrow in the west, making it a typical coffin ground. Moreover, it is inhabited by the spirits of the hanged, and has given rise to ghostly offspring. The ground is like a coffin lid, and it absolutely cannot be disturbed. May I ask how Master Wu Long intends to excavate this ghostly offspring?" I did not understand these words at all; it was something the dead girl said, and I merely echoed her, playing a duet with her.

The young girl chuckled and said, this is profound knowledge of Maoshan and books, I don't understand much if I say too much, so let me explain it simply. The practice of nurturing ghosts in coffins is a particularly fierce method of ghost cultivation. The way to break it is that one must never directly break the ground; it requires a pure Yang man to resolve it. However, the Wu Long is fated to carry Yin, and no matter how powerful his spells are, he cannot change his fate of encountering such bloodshed disasters. Therefore, he feels apprehensive; had we not reminded him, if he had recklessly gone tonight, it would have resulted in harm to both himself and others.

My mouth was full of ghostly tales and spirits, causing fear to flash across everyone's faces as they stared at the two of us with wide eyes, momentarily plunging the atmosphere in the room into a deep gloom

I stood up and, in a very gentlemanly manner, smiled at everyone and said, "Am I right? Master Wulong knows best. Isn't that so, Master?" Saying this, I turned to ask Master Wulong.

"Fine, if you don't want to do it, then forget it. I can't be bothered with such trivial matters. However, I warn you, you must take leave and stay away from school these days, otherwise even I won't be able to save your life!" the angry girl said.

Upon hearing these words, Wu Long's face immediately changed color, and he fixed me with a look of astonishment.

Well, dead... Yan Haoning, let us discuss this matter again

He lifted his face in a daze, then nodded absentmindedly, which proved that I was not speaking in vain. Instantly, everyone was in an uproar, each looking over with a strange gaze.

At this moment, Xiao Xiang couldn't help but say to me: "How can you be so rude to Master Wu Long, cursing him to death?"

I scoffed and said: "Don't forget, when the coffin breaks ground, the earth veins turn into ghostly tendons, and you should know that ghostly tendons can bind dragons, right? Using the Five Dragon Life Protection Talisman will only make your death more tragic"

Everyone, take your time chatting; I have something to attend to and will leave first. As I said this, I tried to maintain a smile with Xiao Xiang and said, "I wish you a pleasant journey tonight!" Then I turned and walked out. Saying this made me feel extremely bad, it was simply terrible. I actually wished her a pleasant journey with that pig, and I am also a pig!

"Indeed, indeed, what do you understand? How can you speak of the master in such a manner?" Zhu Wantao followed suit, flattering.

Hmph, I will spare you this time, but there will be no next time!" the irritable girl said

At this moment, the dishes were served, the girls opened the drinks, the boys poured the beer, and everyone raised their glasses for a toast

I couldn't help but smile bitterly; was that what my buddy wanted to curse him with? That was what that dead girl said. They all idolize Wu Long now, and of course, they don't want to hear me say such things. However, I noticed that everyone else had expressions of discontent, while only Xiao Ying looked at me calmly, her pair of pitch-black eyes filled with a complex gaze.

He won't dare to come tonight; we must resolve this matter ahead of time. Let's first go to the street to buy some supplies in preparation, and then meet at the grove at 10 PM!" the smug girl said.

At this moment, everyone took turns toasting to Wu Long. This fellow had a proud and spirited expression, thinking to himself that if he were to be asked to step back, he was not my grandson, so would he listen? Thus, he asked the girl, "What method can be used to make Wu Long withdraw?"

Wu Long stared at me for a full minute before exclaiming, "I really didn't see it; you are indeed a master in this field. However, I must tell you, I have many methods for digging out ghost fetuses, and there's no need to disturb the ground at all. Just inserting a willow branch can draw it out."

Wu Long set down his wine glass and turned to Xiao Xiang, saying: "When I came here, your boyfriend asked me to convey a message, saying that he wants to go out for a while these days and would like you to accompany him to relax. The flight is tonight."

I know this little girl is throwing a tantrum, so I quickly apologized to her: "Alright, is it not enough that I admit my mistake? For such dangerous matters, you must allow me to think it over, right?"

"Wang Lin, are you really drunk from just one cup of wine? Who did you hear this from?" Liu Bin asked, his eyes wide open.

Wu Long's imposing demeanor instantly diminished, and he lowered his head in a daze, the earlier air of triumph completely vanished. After a moment of contemplation, as if he had thought of a solution, he raised his head and said: "I will use the Five Dragon Life-Saving Talisman to dispel the calamity of bloodshed, and then employ the True Fire of Samadhi to incinerate the ghostly fetus until its soul is scattered!"

Come on, just keep talking. Why don't you suggest sticking a needle in and killing it directly?

At this moment, I said to the dead girl, "I knew you wanted to use the method of enticing the ghost fetus out of the grave with the Yin wood. However, you have overlooked one point: the ghost fetus is different from the ghost child; it has a physical body. When it emerges from the grave, it must break the soil, and breaking the soil will lead to a calamity of bloodshed. Although I do not understand physiognomy, you are well aware of your own fate. You will be the first to bear the brunt, becoming the first meal for the ghost fetus to emerge from the earth!"

I waved my hand at him, signaling this kid not to interrupt. Both Xiao Xiang and Xiao Ying parted their lips, but upon seeing my gesture, they also fell silent.

"It’s alright, he has already taken care of it for you," Wu Long said with a slight smile

Do not deceive me any longer; I was almost choked to death by Fenglan last time, and you still want me to handle it alone. I refuse! I made a decisive decision and resolutely declined.
