Half a Brick
Chapter 131 Ashamed
I must have been possessed these last few days, just busy acting crazy, not doing anything serious, not even watching the news. I didn't even know there was going to be a blood moon on Mount Daqing.
No, I have to teach these evil spirits how to use cell phones in the future. It would be best to give them one each so they can pay attention to the news at any time.
I said thank you to Lingdang and told Ding Kan and Jasmine to entertain her at the shop for tea. I quickly ran upstairs to find Miss Ba.
I told Miss Ba about the blood moon, and she gasped as well. When she thought about how she almost exposed herself to the Fox God under the blood moon, she was so scared that her fur almost stood on end.
"Let's go to Mount Daqing in a few days. No matter how important the investigation of the talisman is, we can't take this risk. Although the Fox God has become a god, becoming a god as a beast is different from you humans. His temperament is not something you can imagine. You must not provoke him, or you will only die, a complete death where your soul is scattered and destroyed.
Although the Fox God may only appear on the night of the blood moon, not necessarily, we must not take this risk. Mortals cannot compete with gods.
Even if the Fox God leaves, everything about that talisman will be annihilated, and there will be no way to investigate anything further. You absolutely cannot go to Mount Daqing during the blood moon.
There are indeed many important things in this world, but nothing is more important than life.
If heaven really wants Hu Ba to stay here forever, if heaven really wants Hu Ba to never know the truth of the past, then I am willing to accept my fate.
Shopkeeper, you are my family. Promise me, whether for yourself or for me, you must wait until the blood moon has passed before going to Mount Daqing. You must not take risks."
I don't know how many times Miss Ba repeated the phrase "absolutely do not take risks," as if she was afraid I didn't know how serious the matter was.
Seeing Miss Ba like this, I suddenly felt ashamed.
To be honest, when I had that premonition this morning that I couldn't go, I already had the intention to back out, but since I had already agreed, it wasn't good to change it for no reason.
I really wanted to investigate the matter of the fox clan's talisman, but this matter was not so urgent for me. What was more important was that Miss Ba was very anxious. She especially cared about the origin of this half of the talisman. For her, that talisman seemed to be related to some major secret.
To be honest, when Lingdang told me about the blood moon, I was even a little happy, thinking that I finally didn't have to go to Mount Daqing. I quickly ran in to tell Miss Ba because I was afraid she wouldn't agree.
As a result, Miss Ba didn't force me to go at all. Instead, she repeatedly told me not to take risks.
I'm really ashamed.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't take risks. However, after the blood moon has passed, I will definitely investigate the matter of the talisman."
"Okay."
Miss Ba returned to the spirit tablet, and I went back downstairs.
Jasmine and Ding Kan were sitting with Lingdang. Seeing me come down, Ding Kan quickly asked me to go over.
"It still takes you, the shopkeeper, to handle things. I think I'm just as good as you, but no matter what I asked, she wouldn't say anything. It had to be you, the shopkeeper, who came. Alas, my face has been hurt badly by you. I'm going to find a place to relax for a while."
As he said that, Ding Kan was about to go upstairs, but halfway there, he remembered that he was free now and didn't have to stay in the shop all the time. He immediately jumped down the stairs and ran out the door in a few bounds, not knowing where he was going to play.
I sat down opposite Lingdang and asked her what she wanted from me.
"Shopkeeper Wan, I just told you about the blood moon, allowing you to successfully avoid a disaster. Shouldn't you thank me? Shouldn't you do something for me?" Lingdang didn't look at me. There was a mist in front of her eyes, and her hair was simply tied up with a white rope.
Moreover, the originally full parents palace of her face suddenly collapsed, Shi Tu must already be gone.
"My condolences."
"Wan Qian, didn't you hear what I just said? I saved your life. Shouldn't you do something to thank me, your savior?"
You saved my life? You really know how to talk. This isn't saving my life, this is letting me off the hook.
You told me about the temple on Mount Daqing, and you also knew about the Fox God drinking blood on the night of the blood moon. At that time, you felt that I no longer had any use, so you planned to use a knife to kill me. But as luck would have it, I was acting crazy for two days, and I hadn't gone to Mount Daqing until you came to find me.
I can only say that I'm lucky, and there's nothing I need to thank you for.
"Tell me what you need me to do for you first? I've already handed Yan Ji over to you. If you couldn't control her, it's not my fault." I still had the same tone as if the deal was already over.
"I know," Lingdang said. "The reason things turned out this way is half because I underestimated Yan Ji, and half because of fate. I don't mean to blame anyone.
But I clearly saved your life just now, but you look like you don't want to accept it at all. What does that mean?"
Oh, this girl has sharp eyes. She knows that I don't accept her saying that she saved my life.
I didn't want to say anything harsh because she had just lost her father, but since she insisted on me making it clear, I could only put everything on the table.
"You did rush over to tell me that I couldn't go to Mount Daqing, but why would I go to Mount Daqing?"
Lingdang snorted and said, "What does it have to do with me why you're going to Mount Daqing? You needed information about the talisman, and I told you the information about the talisman. Moreover, everything I said was true, and that's all.
As for whether you want to go to Mount Daqing or when you want to go to Mount Daqing, that has nothing to do with me."
I also sneered and said, "Say it again, is the information you told me true or false? Do I have to wait until I go there to know which mountain has a temple?"
Lingdang didn't speak.
Most of the information she told me was indeed true, but one word was wrong. She deliberately said Little Mount Qing was Mount Daqing. Although there was only a one-word difference, the locations were thousands of miles apart, and there was no blood moon on Little Mount Qing.
"You deliberately tricked me into going to Mount Daqing, which has a blood moon. What are you trying to do, if not trying to kill me? Did you plan for me to go and make friends with the Fox God?"
"I, I just misspoke, it was just one word, what's the big deal about saying it wrong? Besides, after I remembered, I immediately came over to tell you that you couldn't go to Mount Daqing. Why are you still holding a grudge like this? Is there any point?
The matter of the blood moon is not a secret. If you don't read the news before you travel, what does it have to do with me if you die?"
