When Gou Liang got off the plane, it was already evening.

Ming Ming's hometown was in Shuangye City. He originally thought it was just a coincidence, but when he learned that the Ming family's ancestral grave was near the ancient tomb where the bronze wine bottle was unearthed, Gou Liang's face showed surprise.

He and Bi Xia looked at each other, and then at He Huo, who had a worried expression, and said, "What happened? Tell me the details."

He Huo rubbed his face and pulled himself together. He explained the cause and effect.

About two months ago, there was an earthquake near Bugu Mountain, where the Ming family's ancestral grave was. The ancient tombs hidden in the mountain were all shaken out. The Ming family was afraid that another natural disaster would harm them, so they wanted to move the ancestral grave away. For this reason, after finding a few masters to calculate, they chose to start work yesterday.

Unexpectedly, just as the ceremony began and the old Ming master was apologizing to the ancestors and asking for permission to move, the ground suddenly shook. A few tombs collapsed for no reason.

He Huo remembered the scene at the time and still felt a bit scared.

"The geologists came to take a look. They said there was a small earthquake and determined it to be an accident. But after one night, Ming Ming's elders suddenly acted strangely. It was like … they were possessed by ghosts. "

He Zhuo deliberated for a while and finally came up with this abstract but most reasonable description.

"Their behavior became very strange. There were even people who said that if anyone dared to touch the ancestral grave, they would kill all the descendants of the Ming family. Not long after, Ming Ming's grandfather actually pulled out a knife and wanted to commit suicide. If we hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid he would have … Later, Ming Ming suddenly fainted. When he woke up, he seemed to have received a great shock. "

After a pause, he continued, "He kept kowtowing in the direction of Bugu Mountain and said he didn't dare. I had the doctor give him a sedative and then contacted you."

Gou Liang found a map of Bugu Mountain.

Bugu Mountain was located in a town under Shuangye City. It was an hour's drive from the city.

Because there were two mountains standing opposite each other, they looked like a couple raising a table and eyebrows. Therefore, the two mountains were considered one and named Bugu.

The ancient tomb was located on "Fu Mountain", which was a level higher than Bugu Mountain. The Ming family's ancestral tomb was on another mountain. There had never been an earthquake in this area. After the disaster, the geological experts looked for a long time, but they did not see any hidden dangers of another earthquake in the vicinity. Thus, it did not matter if the Ming family's ancestral grave did not move. But according to He Huo, the Ming family was very adamant about moving the graves. For this reason, they even opened a family temple a few times, prayed to their ancestors, and invited a dozen or so masters to calculate auspicious days together.

Now that such an accident had occurred, it was clear that the actions of the Ming family had angered his ancestors.

It looked like not only was the Ming family ancestral grave strange, even the attitudes of the younger generation of the Ming family were very strange.

"Stop!"

Gou Liang, who was deep in thought, suddenly shouted.

Bi Xia, who had been hugging Gou Liang's waist with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and hugged Gou Liang steadily during the sudden braking.

The driver stepped on the accelerator and turned around to ask, "Master Meng, what's going on?!"

Bang!

The driver looked over and saw that a taxi on the side of the road had gotten into an accident and had sent a passerby flying!

If he had not braked in time, he would have been the one who had hit the passerby!

The traffic police continuously blew their sharp whistles, indicating for the cars at the intersection to stop. They gestured for their companions to call an ambulance and watch the car that had caused the accident as they rushed towards the victim.

The young man in the school uniform had already died on the spot. His companions realized what had happened and screamed at the intersection.

The taxi driver knelt down weakly. "This, this … I didn't want to hit him! It was a green light. I didn't see how he rushed up. Officer, I'm not lying. I really didn't see him … "

His passenger pushed open the door and was about to run when she was stopped by the traffic police. She shouted in panic, "What does this have to do with me! I wasn't the one who hit him. I don't know anything! "

The traffic police comforted her and said that they would ask her to be a witness and record a statement. She lost control of her emotions and cried, still wanting to run.

The passing cars stopped. The car owners who did not know what was going on honked wildly. Some people got out of their cars to see what had happened. The scene was chaotic.

The Ming family's driver was covered in cold sweat. He said with fear, "I, I didn't see this child. If Master Meng hadn't stopped me …"

He Huo patted him on the shoulder, indicating for him to calm down. He also looked at Gou Liang uneasily.

Gou Liang frowned as he looked at the agitated crowd. He had underestimated the ability of the malicious spirit.

The malicious spirit that had bewitched the student, made him rush into the road, and grabbed his leg to prevent him from getting hit by the car. Now, it was arrogantly running towards the victim. Seeing that it was about to devour the soul that had just left the body, Gou Liang lowered the car window, lit a talisman, and silently chanted a spell. The malicious spirit that felt the pressure of the Taoist master immediately hid back into the ground in fear.

At this moment, the ghost messenger appeared and captured the wronged ghost that was filled with resentment. He bowed to Gou Liang from afar and left with the soul of the student ghost.

Gou Liang looked at the dead man and then at his crying classmates. He frowned slightly.

These students all had a vicious aura. It seemed that there was something wrong with the schools nearby.

"Bi Xia."

Gou Liang gave him a look.

Bi Xia had naturally noticed that the malicious spirit was going to cause trouble. However, he could not be bothered with it since it could not hurt Gou Liang. Seeing that he was asking him, he pushed the door open and got out of the car. Bi Xia bent down slightly and tapped on the hot asphalt road. He easily pulled the malicious spirit out from under the asphalt road and stuffed it into the porcelain bottle that Gou Liang had prepared. With a little refinement, the ghost aura on its body would be Yun Xian's supply rations.

When he returned to the car, the driver had also finished understanding the situation. He got into the car and said, "Master Meng, Mr. Bi, Young Master He, are we leaving now?"

The driver was still traumatized. He did not want to stay in this godforsaken place for a moment longer. Seeing Gou Liang nod, he quickly stepped on the accelerator.

He Huo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, lowered his voice and asked, "Was there something dirty just now?"

The dirty thing, Bi Xia, glanced at him. He Huo's heart tightened. The last time they met at the class reunion, the other party had not given him a good look either. He Huo felt that Bi Xia was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He was willing to lose to such a person and felt that he could take good care of Gou Liang. However, for some reason, he felt a little uneasy when he faced the cold-faced Bi Xia this time. He felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at him.

Gou Liang did not care about their eyebrows and said, "It's dusk and the hour of the devil. It's not surprising that a few things that are unwilling to be left out come out to cause trouble."

The driver had already driven the car to the next intersection. Seeing that it was a red light, he quickly stopped.

Hearing this, he could not help but turn around and say, "Yes, that intersection is the strangest in our city. There are schools nearby. It's especially chaotic when you go to and from school. Every year, there are some accidents. No matter how many traffic police are called, it's useless. "

"Hearing Master Meng say that, I remember now. It seems that the accident happened around this time. It's half an hour later than school time. Sigh, I didn't expect someone to die this year! But that student is really something. He looks like he's only 15 or 16 years old. What's wrong with him that he has to commit suicide? How are his parents going to live … "

They could clearly see that the responsibility for the student's death was not on the taxi driver.

On the contrary, when the student ran the red light and killed himself in the car, the traffic police and his companions did not notice. They did not see it either. It was really strange.

The driver sighed in his heart. All the way to the Ming family's old residence in the countryside, he was still lamenting.

The Ming family's old residence was at the foot of Bugu Mountain. Once he got out of the car, He Huo did not have any other thoughts. He hurriedly said to Gou Liang, "Ming Ming should still be asleep. Qi Ning, can you help me take a look at him first?"

Gou Liang did not care about it.

In order to save time, He Huo directly took Gou Liang and Bi Xia to the side door. However, he did not expect that Ming Ming was not in the room. The person who was supposed to be in charge of taking care of Ming Ming did not know his whereabouts.

He Huo was anxious and scared. He lost his composure and said, "Didn't I tell you to guard the door and not take a single step away?!"

The servant was also afraid that she would take responsibility if anything happened to Ming Ming. However, she did not think much of He Huo, who was not recognized by the Ming family as a "son-in-law". She quibbled, "But Master asked me to entertain guests. I can't not go."

He Huo looked anxiously at Gou Liang. "Qi Ning, where is Ming Ming? Can you help me find him? He's not in a clear state of mind right now. I'm really afraid that something will happen to him … "

"What could happen?"

A person turned out of the corridor and said with a face full of displeasure, "Don't you know that you're entertaining guests at home? Why are you making such a big fuss? "

"Second brother, Ming Ming disappeared. Did you see where he went?"

He Huo quickly asked.

Ming Ming's second cousin, Ming Luo, frowned and scolded, "This kid only knows how to cause trouble. He's still running around at this time! Don't worry. Although he's been chased out for a few years, he's still lived here for more than ten years. He still knows the way home. "

He Huo angrily said, "Don't you know what his situation is right now? How can you be so indifferent!"

Ming Luo was about to retort when Gou Liang waved his hand and said, "Don't argue. He's on Bugu Mountain. Let's go over first. If we're late, he might lose his life. "

He Huo was about to take Gou Liang out when Ming Luo stopped them and said sternly, "Bugu Mountain currently prohibits outsiders from entering. He Huo, you're not a member of the Ming family. Do you want to randomly bring anyone into my family's ancestral grave?"

"Get out of the way!" He Huo was furious. "This is the master I invited. Since you don't care about Ming Ming, I'll take responsibility myself. I don't need you to care!"

This time, he had accompanied Ming Ming back. He Huo had personally seen Ming Ming being made difficult by the Ming family because of him. He had long since reached his limit. Now that he saw that Ming Luo didn't care about Ming Ming's safety at all, he exploded on the spot.

Ming Luo looked at Gou Liang disdainfully. "This is the master you invited? I really overestimated you. In any case, you invited someone who only looks good. Just like this … "

"What are you arguing about?"

A dignified voice interrupted Ming Luo's ridicule.

Ming Luo quickly turned around. There was only respect left on his face. "Grandfather, I don't know where Ming Ming ran off to. He Huo blamed us for not looking after him, so I argued with him a bit."

He Huo: "You –"

Gou Liang shook his head at him, indicating that he shouldn't waste any more time arguing.

When Ming Ming's grandfather heard this news, he immediately furrowed his brows. He said to the old man in Taoist robes beside him, "Tao Priest Lin, Ming Ming is the youngest grandson I mentioned to you just now. He's also been hit … running out like this, is there any danger? "

Tao Priest Lin didn't answer his question. Instead, he took a few steps forward and respectfully bowed to Gou Liang. "Heaven Master Meng, I didn't expect to meet you here. It looks like the Ming family matter this time will definitely turn misfortune into fortune."

"Tao Priest Lin."

Gou Liang nodded at him. He also didn't expect that the master the Ming family had invited was Tao Priest Lin, the half-step Heaven Master the organization had invited to help them capture "Bi Xia."

He smiled gently and said, "The Ming family matter is not under my control. It's just that something happened to my friend here, so I came to see if I could help."

Tao Priest Lin: "So that's how it is."

Immediately, Tao Priest Lin introduced him to the grandfather and grandson of the Ming family whose expressions had changed greatly. "This is Heaven Master Meng. Although he's not very old, his cultivation is not something the two old Taoists combined can compare to. As for the people outside, they naturally can't compare."

The old Ming master glared fiercely at Ming Luo and quickly stepped forward to apologize. "Heaven Master Meng, the Ming family's eyes were blind. Please be magnanimous and forgive him this time."

Ming Luo also quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. "Heaven Master Meng, I offended you just now. Please forgive me –"

Gou Liang impatiently interrupted him. "Mr. Ming, He Huo is my friend, and Ming Ming is his lover. Naturally, I am also my friend. As for other people, they have nothing to do with me. Now, can you let me go to Bugu Mountain and bring him back? "

The old Ming master didn't dare to stop him. He even said, "I'll have my son accompany you …"

"There's no need to trouble yourself."

Gou Liang nodded to Tao Priest Lin and left with Bi Xia and He Huo.

"Grandfather, I …"

"Shut up!"

The old Ming master hatefully interrupted Ming Luo. He said to Tao Priest Lin in fear and trepidation, "Tao Priest Lin, my grandson is as stupid as a pig. I am truly ashamed. However, he didn't mean to be disrespectful to Heaven Master. Could you please mediate and let us apologize to Heaven Master Meng? "

Tao Priest Lin shook his head. "I've only met this person once. I'm afraid we don't have that much of a relationship."

"However, there's one thing you can listen to."

The old Ming master listened attentively.

Tao Priest Lin said, "That day, not only did he single-handedly subdue a thousand-year-old malicious spirit to save the country, he also saved Heaven Master Liu, Heaven Master Yuan, Heaven Master Fang, Master Chen, and me from the malicious spirit's hands. He's truly a young hero, worthy of my admiration. I heard that he doesn't easily make a move. Now that he's willing to make this trip for his friend's sake, it's already rare. The way you treat your guests is truly … "

Tao Priest Lin shook his head. He was clearly dissatisfied with Ming Luo.

He said, "Just now, I heard Heaven Master Meng say that if it weren't for his friend's request, he wouldn't interfere in other matters. The one who tied the bell should untie it. That's all I have to say. Forgive me for not being able to do anything else. "

The old Ming master's expression became more solemn with each person he named. When he heard the end, he already made a decision in his heart.

Although Ming Ming's illicit relationship with the same man had ruined the family's reputation, it wasn't impossible to accept them at this moment of life and death. And if they were lucky enough to win over a Heaven Master through them, the Ming family would rise to another level!

Seeing this, Ming Luo's expression became even uglier.

On the way up Bugu Mountain, He Huo sincerely apologized to Gou Liang.

Gou Liang didn't take Ming Luo's words to heart. Besides, when he spoke rudely, Bi Xia had already instilled a vicious aura into him. In the future, he would suffer. There was no need to argue with such an unlucky person.

On the other hand, he was very surprised that He Huo, who had always been good at dealing with people, had become like this in the Ming family.

Seeing him ask, He Huo smiled bitterly. "In the past, Ming Ming lied to me and said that his family had all passed away. In these two years, I hadn't seen him return home, so I didn't suspect anything. It wasn't until this time, when the Ming family moved the ancestral grave and asked for everyone in the Ming family to be present that I answered the phone for him. Only then did I know that the Ming family still had so many people. "

In the first year of university, Ming Ming fell in love with He Huo at first sight. At the time, He Huo chased after the original owner of the body, and He Huo chased after him.

He didn't know how, but his sexual orientation was discovered by his family. After a big fuss, he was kicked out of the house by his old-fashioned and prideful parents.

This time, Ming Ming wanted to introduce He Huo to his parents. He Huo was also afraid that He Huo would be embarrassed when he returned home, so he came back with him. As expected, the Ming family, who still couldn't accept them, didn't treat them well from beginning to end.

Before, he had been worried about this, but now He Huo didn't have the heart to think about this.

His heart was anxious. Seeing Gou Liang and Bi Xia's unhurried footsteps, he couldn't help but feel impatient. However, he didn't dare rush them. He could only ask again and again, "Will something happen to Ming Ming? Where is he now? "

Gou Liang was impatient with his questions. He said to He Huo, "He has a magic weapon on him. He won't die so easily. What are you panicking about?"

Ever since the last time the He family was in trouble and Gou Liang helped them solve the problem, the He family still felt uneasy after paying the reward. He Huo went to Qizang Pavilion and spent a lot of money to buy many magic weapons to protect them.

Qizang Pavilion's business had been slow for so long, and the He family wasn't short of money. The treasures that Gou Liang recommended to them were naturally not cheap and could save their lives in a critical moment.

As they walked up, He Huo realized that their destination wasn't "Wife" Mountain, where the Ming family's ancestral tomb was located. Instead, they were going to "Husband" Mountain.

He wanted to ask what had happened, but seeing that Gou Liang and Bi Xia weren't in a good mood, he was afraid that he would say something wrong and anger them, delaying the opportunity to save Ming Ming. He could only swallow his words.

They walked all the way to the area where the ancient tomb was being excavated.

At this time, the sky was completely dark. The archaeologists here had already finished their work, but the searchlights were still on, and the cameras were still working as usual.

"Ming Ming!"

Someone knelt at the entrance of the ancient tomb in front of them and mumbled. He Huo recognized that it was Ming Ming at a glance and quickly rushed forward.

Gou Liang let Yun Xian out and asked her to take care of the surveillance equipment.

Gou Liang saw that the ghosts that were pestering Ming Ming were rushing toward He Huo with bared fangs and brandished claws. He patted Bi Xia's arm. Bi Xia snorted and released the pressure of a thousand-year-old malicious ghost. Not only did the ghosts piss their pants and hide back into the ancient tomb, but Yun Xian was so scared that she almost fell out of the surveillance camera. Even the old ghost of the Ming family who was leaning over Ming Ming immediately ran for his life.

"Ming Ming!!"

He Huo rushed forward and picked up Ming Ming, who had fainted on the ground. He looked at Gou Liang with red eyes. "What's wrong with him? Will he be okay? "

Gou Liang held Bi Xia's hand and walked forward. He whispered, "If you don't like it here, why don't we change … out?"

Bi Xia didn't appreciate this suggestion at all.

Looking around, Bi Xia's eyes were cold.

This place had trapped him for more than two thousand years. The smell of the soil, wood, flowers, and grass made him feel disgusted.
