Chapter 144 Acquaintances
"Also, his wife is an unvirtuous and unfilial thing. When the villagers went to see her, she didn't give them a good look and even tried to drive them out. How could the Yun family have ended up with such a thing?"
The conversation was getting a bit awkward, and I was wondering how to continue when Yun Ya said, "Grandpa, do you know someone named Yun Lan? He's a friend of mine!"
The old man was surprised. "Yun Lan is your friend? Have you met him?"
I gave Yun Ya a look, and she quickly said, "I haven't met him, we're online friends."
"Bah!" The old man spat on the ground in anger. "It must be that little bastard Li Xiao. Why doesn't he use his own good name and has to use a dead man's name online, chatting?"
"This has happened so many times. If he keeps messing around like this, one day he'll be taken away by the dead. Go that way, number 14 on the east side of the village is his home."
After the old man finished speaking, he added, "That little bastard, he's out courting death these days, if you want to find him, come back in a few days!"
"You guys find a place to stay first, and then contact that person online. I'll go take a look at Li Xiao's place." I looked around in the direction the old man pointed and asked others about it. It turned out that the person named Li Xiao had indeed gone out.
When I returned to the hotel, Yun Ya had been trying to contact the other party for a while, but he hadn't replied.
I glanced at Yun Lan's laptop. "You guys rest first, and then contact him again tonight."
After I dismissed the two girls, Ye Yang said, "This Yun Jiaji is interesting. There seems to be a hidden tomb behind the town."
"How did you figure that out?" I had walked around the town earlier, and when I reached the back of the town, I also felt that something was strange, but I couldn't figure out where that feeling came from.
Ye Yang said, "The person who built the hidden tomb is an expert. He not only hid the tomb itself, but also suppressed the earth's energy. You won't be able to find the location of the hidden tomb without using feng shui techniques."
A hidden tomb, as the name suggests, is a tomb that has been hidden. The principle is the same as the suspicious tombs of ancient heroes. It's to prevent someone from digging up the grave and whipping the corpse.
However, sorcerers can't afford to build such suspicious tombs, nor can they kill all the craftsmen who built the tomb, like emperors and heroes. Therefore, sorcerers are more accustomed to using illusion-like secret arts to hide the tomb, which is the hidden tomb in the world of术道 (Shu Dao – the world of esoteric arts).
Ye Yang said, "The person who built the hidden tomb seems to have deliberately wanted people to find his tomb, and deliberately revealed a trace of aura. I estimate that you can see the tomb from somewhere in Yun Jiaji."
Yun Jiaji isn't too big, nor too small. It's too difficult to find a place where you can see the hidden tomb. The secret of Yun Jiaji may lie with that Li Xiao, or Yun Lan.
I stayed with Yun Ya and the others until eleven o'clock at night. "Contact that Yun Lan again now!"
Yun Ya took a deep breath before typing a message on the computer: "Are you there? I'm back in Yun Jiaji."
The person named Yun Lan replied quickly: "I'm home."
Yun Ya typed: "I went to your house to find you during the day, how come you weren't home?"
"I'm home!" Yun Lan said, "I'm at home, I didn't see you!"
Yun Ya replied, "Isn't your house number 14 on East Street? It's the third house from the right on East Street. I specifically looked at the door number."
"You saw that my house number was 14?" Yun Lan sent several panicked emojis in a row: "Don't scare me, there's no number 14 in the village."
"If someone's house number becomes 14, it will become a haunted house. There must be a dead person inside."
Yun Ya shivered and didn't know how to reply. I whispered, "Ask him if there's anyone else in his house."
Before Yun Ya could reply, a line of information came from the other side: "I'm a little scared! It seems like there's someone in my house."
Yun Lan's words were all jumbled, was he really scared, or was he deliberately trying to deceive Yun Ya?
While Yun Ya was shrinking her hands and didn't know how to answer, Xiang Yunshang took the computer over: "Did your family come back?"
Yun Lan responded: "No! My family isn't coming back tonight. There's really someone in my house. There's movement coming from my kitchen."
"Could it be mice?" Xiang Yunshang was also a little scared, and subconsciously clasped her hands together in front of the computer.
Yun Lan seemed to be flustered: "It's definitely not, there's really movement in my kitchen..."
Xiang Yunshang didn't know what to do either: "Li Po, what should I do?"
I said in a deep voice: "Keep talking to him, say whatever you want."
Xiang Yunshang had no idea what to do: "Why don't you lock the door first?"
Yun Lan said, "I don't dare to go, why don't you talk to me? I'll turn on the microphone."
Xiang Yunshang was just about to touch the microphone when I stopped her: "Don't turn on the microphone! Say you can't get through."
