Chapter 38 Something is wrong
I remained silent at this time and did not answer immediately .
After a moment of silence, the Taoist priest suddenly said, "Chen Yang, you have to think clearly. This is your chance to make great achievements. You must not miss it. If you miss this opportunity, the underworld will track you down. You have violated the rules and served as a ghost messenger of the underworld. You will be immediately sentenced to death by the underworld."
The Taoist priest's words seemed to strengthen my heart.
But I clearly captured four words: "soul-scared", this is no joke.
I paused for a moment, looking at the Taoist priest in surprise, and then I said, "Master, what did you just say? You said that I violated the rules and served as a local official?"
Seeing this, the Taoist priest sighed and said, "Originally, I didn't want to tell you, but you are indecisive and I am very disappointed in you. I can only tell you the truth."
I:"……"
I was speechless for a moment. I looked at the Taoist priest and wanted to say something.
But the words just couldn't come out of his mouth. He is really unreliable in doing things.
If I get caught then, the God of Land will definitely be to blame.
"Don't even think about it. You don't have any other choice right now. This is your only choice, do you understand?"
The Taoist priest reminded me.
I nodded. Although I felt a little uncomfortable holding my breath, there was obviously no better way at this point and I could only accept this fact.
"Master, if I accomplish this feat, will the underworld recognize me more?"
"That's right." The Taoist priest answered me firmly.
I was silent for a while, but without saying anything, I nodded and said, "Okay."
At this moment, I had a thought in my mind, that is, nothing can happen, and I cannot die.
I have to live in this world, find the murderer who killed my grandfather, and protect my parents so that they can live a good life.
After I finished talking to the Taoist priest, my cousin came towards us.
When the Taoist priest saw his uncle coming, he immediately stopped talking.
The Taoist priest gave me a look, and I immediately understood what he meant.
My cousin came closer, with a warm smile on his face, and asked us, "Master, what did you say, Xiaoyang?"
"Nothing." The Taoist priest said lightly.
My cousin looked at me with his eyes rolling around. Looking at his expression, I roughly knew what he wanted to ask me.
But I also told my uncle that I didn’t say anything.
The cousin was immediately disappointed, "Xiaoyang, where are you going later?"
"Yes, I plan to take him out for a walk and learn something." The Taoist priest gave me the answer before I could reply.
"Then I'll go too, Master. I've also been in need of studying lately."
"You don't need to. You are ready to start your apprenticeship now."
The Taoist priest rejected my cousin without any hesitation. My cousin wanted to say something to save the relationship, but the Taoist priest didn't even give him a chance.
"You wait for us at home, we'll be back soon."
The Taoist priest led me out. Although my cousin was reluctant, he did not dare to disobey the Taoist priest's order. We started moving forward. When we reached the side of the road, we stopped a car and moved forward.
As soon as we got in the car, the driver asked us where we were going?
The Taoist priest said directly: "Go to Liuyi Bath Center."
When I heard the name, I was stunned for a few seconds. I thought to myself, Taoist priest, how could he still be in the mood to wash feet at this time?
The driver was a little embarrassed when he heard it: "Are you kidding?"
When I heard the driver say this, I wondered if this Taoist priest was sick. Was this a joke? We were going to a bath center?
But it is indeed a bit strange that the Taoist priest said going to a bath center.
But now the Taoist priest was not wearing Taoist clothes, just ordinary men's clothes, which looked normal.
I felt a little suspicious and thought there was something wrong with the driver.
"Yes, let's go there."
The Taoist priest answered without any hesitation.
But the driver still didn't leave, and I suddenly felt something was wrong. Did something happen at this Liuyi Bath Center?
I noticed that the driver had no intention of saying anything directly, so he was hesitating and not saying anything, which wasted both of our time.
So I didn't waste any time and asked directly, "Master, is there something wrong over there?"
"You don't know? Could it be that he is from another place?"
"No, we are from the country, I said immediately," I answered.
"It's not your fault. Something weird happened at the Liuyi Bath Center. Several people who were bathing died there."
"How did he die?"
I continued to ask.
The driver obviously didn't want to continue talking about this matter, and then said: "I don't know about this, but if you want to go to Liuyi Bath Center, you should take another car."
"One thousand yuan, do you want to go?" The Taoist priest was decisive and ruthless.
When the driver heard the price of one thousand yuan, his eyes suddenly lit up, but perhaps he realized that this matter was still dangerous, so he did not give a clear answer immediately.
"Okay, if you don't leave, we'll change cars."
The Taoist priest also spoke directly.
But as the Taoist priest said this, the driver, who had been insisting, finally said that he was willing to go for one thousand yuan.
The car drove forward and soon entered a street. After driving for a while on the street, the driver suddenly said, "You don't know how prosperous this street was before. It was a bathing and sauna street. You don't know how cool it was. But now you can't even see a ghost here . This is such a terrifying thing."
The driver's voice gradually became more terrifying.
I looked outside and found that the street was indeed dark. Some objects on the side of the street were tilted here and there. It looked messy and even a little desolate.
The driver's speed was getting slower and slower, and in the next second, the driver suddenly stepped on the brakes and the car stopped. I looked at the driver and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
The driver's voice became trembling and he said, "I can't do it anymore. I'm scared. I can't drive forward. There is dirt here."
The driver quickly turned the car around and urged us to get off. We didn't feel anything, but we just felt that the energy here was a bit too gloomy.
I found that my body is special and I have become more sensitive to many things about ghosts.
The driver dropped us off and we had no choice but to get off.
As soon as I got off the car, I felt myself being enveloped by a chill.
The Taoist priest was not afraid at all. He walked forward and said, "This damn place was indeed prosperous in the past, but I didn't expect it to be so dilapidated now."
"Master, where is the Liuyi Bath Center?"
"It's not far, just turn a corner and you'll be there." The Taoist priest answered me.
But now I can clearly feel that something is wrong here.
