C8 Back to school
The old man smiled mysteriously. He wanted to say something but hesitated. I knew that he did it on purpose, and it was all because of the matter where he threatened me but was rejected by me.
"Old liar, don't forget that you've just promised my grandmother. You're not even going to tell me what happened now, and you're still talking about saving me. You promised just now, but now you're hesitating to say it …" I pretended to shake my head in order to make him realize how terrible my actions were.
"You stinking brat, did you plan this properly? Forget it, I'll just tell you. After all, sooner or later, you will find out …" the old liar said after a moment of silence.
"You didn't ask me before, but who was the one who wanted to harm you. I ask you, your Class … Zhang Mengting, Yan Shuai, Xu Feng … they all died one after another. Do you know who the fourth one will be?" The old man's expression was solemn, causing me to be stunned on the spot. Who would be the fourth?
"How would I know …" I don't know if the old liar is crazy.
The old man didn't say anything. He just stared at me with his deep gaze, as if he wanted to figure out what was going on. Being stared at like that made me a little scared, so I suddenly recalled the chat logs from the group earlier. In it, He Wenjing said that the next to die was An Xu.
Could it be?
How is that possible? It's impossible. However, the moment I raised my head, I saw the old man's unrelenting gaze. Forget it, I'll give you a name.
"Alright, since you know who the fourth one is, how could the mastermind let you go? Of course he wants to deal with you. He was just worrying about how to deal with you, and didn't expect your grandmother to die, so he gave me the chance …"
"You're saying that someone manipulated my grandmother's corpse to defraud her in order to deal with me?"
"Looks like my disciple isn't stupid …" The old man joked with a mischievous smile on his face.
"But I didn't know that the next one to die would be An Xu. I only heard from my classmates that the next one to die would be An Xu. I originally didn't believe that anyone could predict whose death it would be." I told him what I wanted to say.
"Your classmate?" "It seems like …" A bright light flashed across the old man's face.
"What are you muttering about?"
"Ah, it's nothing. I just wanted to say that since you don't believe it, or perhaps you just came by word of mouth, the other side won't think that you just came by word of mouth. It can't allow any threat, in other words, it would rather believe it than not …"
"I don't think they would rather believe it to be true than not. Besides, they would rather kill a thousand wrongly than to let off a single one!" Something suddenly popped up in my mind. That's not right. Since he knew about me, then isn't He Wenjing's safety …
"Alright, your classmate won't be in any danger for now. How can a person who can see through the Three Tailed Sun Seizing Formation be an ordinary person?" The old man saw through my worries.
"Three Tri-tailed Sun Seizing Formation? What is it? " It was the first time I had ever heard that word.
"Sigh, an extremely evil formation. Haven't you discovered the connection between your three dead classmates?" The old man was deliberately mystifying. He couldn't speak bluntly if he had something to say.
How could he guess this? "Old man, give me a reminder."
"Name." The old man only said these two words.
Name? What about the name? Zhang Mengting, Yan Shuai, Xu Feng … Could it be, a light bulb lit up in his mind, Zhang, Yan, Xu, Z, Y, X, could it be because of this?
"It can't be because of the initials, right?" I'm really not sure when I say this.
That's right, Zhang Meng Ting, Yan Shuai, and Xu Feng are the three tails of the three-tailed Three Tailed Yang Seizing Formation, and An Xu's A is the first of the three. The final goal of this formation is to kill the six of them, and in the end, with the help of the formation and the little devil, one can obtain three hundred years of lifespan.
"Old man, I've suddenly discovered that I'm the only one with the C surname!" When I suddenly realized this fact, I was so shocked that goosebumps rose all over my body.
"Isn't this still your master? Relax, you are my first disciple. How can I just stand by and watch you die?" The old man had an expression that seemed like he deserved a beating.
I directly ignored the old man's natural familiarity and asked curiously, "Why must the one who died be from our class?"
"Because the person who set up the formation wasn't strong enough, when the Sun Seizing Ghost killed the first person, the center of the formation was fixed on the first person. Because of that, every time a person died, they would receive instructions from the first person to set up the formation." Because the person who set up the formation wasn't strong enough, when the Sun Seizing Ghost killed the first person, the center of the formation was fixed on the first person.
"Could it be that no one cares about setting up this evil array?" I specifically added a tone when I said 'human'. This person was not human, and I believe that the old man would understand.
"Because all of you received the dead person's red packets, and the dead person's money is inside. You have to know, the moment you took the dead person's money, it was equivalent to you making some kind of deal with the dead person. You take money, it takes your life, this is a very normal kind of deal, no one can interfere with it."
"F * ck!" After listening to all of this, I can only say, 'What the f * ck.
"I have one last question, what does the person behind this want these lifespans for? Continuing his life? "That won't last for another three hundred years. After three hundred years, you will become some old demoness."
"I'm not too sure about that right now. It might not be as simple as extending my life …" Worry flashed across the old man's face. It seemed that there was some sort of secret behind this.
"Old man, I promise you, as long as you solve this problem, I will acknowledge you as my master!" I thought for a moment and then said firmly.
The old man was not bad, he saved me today, saved Uncle Wang, and my grandmother. If he can solve this problem, the old man will save me once more, someone who can save you twice, no matter what you say, it won't be that bad. Also, this old man's character is very much to my liking, so I won't suffer too much if he agrees.
"Then, disciple, you better watch carefully how Master broke through this formation and pulled out the mastermind, killing them all and leaving no one alive!" The old man was filled with confidence as he said this with determination.
The old man quickly left and gave me a call. He told me that he wanted me to call him. Actually, I was quite shocked when the old man said he wanted to call him, but I didn't expect him to use his phone.
I asked the old man, and he replied, "The times are improving, and we cultivators have to keep up with the times. What's more, I don't need my phone to contact you to contact me?"
Alright, it's not like I don't know any Tao techniques. Don't say that I really don't have any other way to contact him other than by phone.
After the old man left, I knelt alone in the mourning hall and waited until daybreak.
After the second day of mourning, friends and relatives would come to mourn, walk around the temple in the village with coffins in their hands, and spread the yellow yuan along the way. After that, we would have to treat everyone to lunch, send them to the crematorium in the afternoon, and cremate them in the crematorium on the same day. We had to bury them before sunset, otherwise, it would be unlucky during the night, and even some mysterious things would happen.
Fortunately, everything went well with my grandmother's burial, and it was all over by four in the afternoon.
Early the next morning, I returned to school. As soon as I arrived, I found out that An Xu had died, and the day after I left.
I have been busy with my grandmother's funeral these past few days, so I have no idea how long my phone has been out of battery. Yesterday, I just turned on the electricity, and sure enough, I saw the red packet sent to me on the second day after I left.
Back at the dormitory, he heard his classmates say that An Xu had died on the roof of the school building, as if their activities had taken place there. As for how An Xu had died, it was impossible to find out, only knowing that there were no wounds on An Xu's body, only his eyes wide open as if he had been frightened to death.
However, before he could warm his seat, his phone vibrated again. A fifth red packet appeared.
The students in the dorm looked at each other in dismay. They seemed calm and collected, but in reality, a storm was brewing in each of their hearts.
After a few attempts, everyone knew that it usually took more than ten minutes for all of the red packets to be sent out.
The time to wait was always torturous, because everyone was afraid that when the time came, they would see their own names on it.
After a few seconds, a line of small words finally appeared behind him.
Zhang Meng Ting's red packet had already been received. Fu Zinjie was the King of Fortune!
