Chapter 92: Seeking Divination
Jiu Ye drank tea calmly, and there was no emotion in his expression.
Lu Tianhao knocked on the table with his knuckles and said, "Don't forget, eighteen years old will be there soon." Maybe it won't take you eighteen to know what the fate is. β
The Ninth Master was still unmoved, as if he hadn't heard anything, and reached out to the teapot, ready to refill another cup. Seeing this, Lu Tianhao snorted coldly and rushed out of the door.
Until you hear "Bang!" With a muffled sound, the Ninth Master sighed slowly.
He put down the cup in his hand and looked out the window, but did not move for a long time.
This is really self-inflicted!
Even if Lu Tianhao didn't say it, he knew that three years later, it would definitely be bloody, and their catastrophe would be inevitable! Regardless of whether they will do anything out of the ordinary, the priority now is to find the lonely mountain. Once Gushan reappears in the rivers and lakes, let alone an ordinary demon hunter, even the entire Immortal Cultivation Academy may not be able to subdue this demon.
He regretted that he should have attacked Gushan earlier, if he had done so at that time, maybe there would have been fewer casualties. Can ...... now One wrong step, one wrong step! The longer it drags on, the more there is no room for reversal. Who knows if the Lonely Mountain has awakened?
The Ninth Master wiped his already moist eyes, and pretended to be casual and walked towards the door of the tea house, where his own driver was waiting for him.
No matter how well disguised he was, that pale face betrayed him.
Seeing this, the cheongsam beauty who had just made tea for them walked over a few steps, held the arm of the ninth master, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" β
The Ninth Master shook his head and sighed, "It's okay, it's just that I'm old." β
It's not like what an underworld boss would say.
The cheongsam beauty is named Xiao Zhen, and others call her Xiaozhen.
Jiu Ye once bought her from human traffickers, not only gave her money to attend night school, but also asked her to help take care of the tea house. Although she knew that the Ninth Master was an underworld boss and had done a lot of bad things outside, she had an extremely special affection for the Ninth Master. This kind of emotion is like to a father, to a benefactor, and also to a lover.
Seeing that the ninth master was so abnormal, Xiaozhen was slightly stunned, and said sadly: "You are joking, how is it possible?" β
The ninth master patted the hand of the cheongsam beauty heartily, and politely refused the other party's support. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "By the way, Xiaozhen, last time you said that your grandmother was very good at divination?" β
Xiaozhen didn't understand why the ninth master suddenly asked this, and nodded suspiciously.
"Can she help find someone?"
I had heard of Xiaozhen's grandmother divination and fortune-telling before, and the Ninth Master had never touched this idea, he had never believed in this. But now it's burning eyebrows, and I can't believe it or not, so I have to try all kinds of methods.
Xiaozhen nodded uncertainly. She just heard her mother talk about her grandmother, and as for whether it works or not, she really can't say for sure.
"That's great, we'll go find her now."
"Now?"
"Yes, now!"
Seeing that the Ninth Master was so resolute, Xiaozhen guessed that something must have happened, but she hurriedly changed her clothes and got into the Ninth Master's car.
Xiaozhen's grandmother is now alone in the mountains, and it takes five hours to drive to the bottom of the mountain one way. Li Heng knew that this matter was important, and drove the car fast along the way, while the ninth master was silent. Xiaozhen could only look at the man next to her from time to time worriedly, silently praying in her heart that her grandmother could really be as effective as her mother said.
Along the way, the three of them were almost speechless.
More than three hours later, the car stopped at the foot of the mountain.
The rest of the road is very steep, and the car will definitely not be able to pass, so it can only rely on a pair of human legs.
Li Heng bought some food in the small shop, replenished their strength, and began to climb the mountain road.
Although the ninth master is older, his physical strength is very good, and his speed is basically the same as that of Xiaozhen. Li Heng was a little difficult. He usually spends most of his time driving, rarely exercising, and sweating profusely when he walks, let alone the potholed mountain roads.
Halfway through, Li Heng couldn't walk anymore. He looked at the smaller figure in front of him and said breathlessly: "Ninth Master, you go first, I, I'll follow later." β
The Ninth Master looked back at Li Heng, and had no intention of stopping, but urged Xiaozhen: "Let's go quickly." Xiao Zhen looked at the vigorous figure of the ninth master in front of her, showed a knowing smile, and thought, "Who said he was old?" β
After walking for more than an hour, they saw a few houses with white walls and black tiles hidden in the forest.
It's afternoon, but you don't feel the sun here, on the contrary, the water vapor envelops the emerald green halfway up the mountainside, and even the few simple houses are as beautiful as ink paintings.
The Ninth Master exclaimed: "Good place! β
Lin Dan wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "We have arrived!" β
Walking to a bungalow with a single courtyard, Lin Dan pushed open the hidden door and shouted, "Grandma." Then he pulled the ninth master in. When I entered, I saw that a few hens were clucking in the hut that were about to lay eggs, five or six big fat ducks were walking in the yard, and an old lady in her eighties, dressed in white and black coat, was sitting on the threshold and looking out into the yard.
Seeing her granddaughter who she hadn't seen for a long time, the grandmother didn't seem surprised at all, but feigned anger and said, "Why is everyone bringing me here?" Do you think I'm old and not dead yet? β
Although the old man is old, his temper is not small at all. Xiaozhen knew that her grandmother had a strange personality, but she didn't expect her grandmother to say such things to make Jiu Ye ugly. She screamed in disgust: "Grandma! Then he went over and pulled the corner of Grandma's clothes.
"What are you pulling me for, am I wrong?"
As soon as Grandma's words came out, Xiaozhen regretted not covering the old man's mouth. The ninth master smiled and asked grandma good-naturedly, "Is the old man okay?" β
"Okay, but I'm dying."
"Grandmaβ"
Seeing Xiaozhen looking at herself with an unhappy face, grandma waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't say it." If you talk too much, you'll be annoyed by me, an old woman. The meal is ready, go and eat, don't you still have one person? β
Hearing grandma's words, Jiu Ye and Xiao Zhen were secretly surprised. I didn't mention it to my grandmother this time, how did she know they were coming? And even the number of people is clear.
It seems that Xiaozhen's grandmother is really not an ordinary person! Perhaps, this trip can really find out the whereabouts of the lonely mountain.
The ninth master was happy in his heart and replied, "That person will come up soon." Why don't we wait for a while before eating. Actually, we're here this time......"
Grandma interrupted him in time: "I can't help you with your business, I will lose my life if I help you with this." β
"Why?" Xiaozhen dragged out a long tail and asked unhappily.
"No why? I said that I would lose my life, do you think I am an old woman who lives too long?! β
