Chapter 230 - A Magic Array Is Here

Chapter 230 A Magic Array Is Here

The hurried shout is from Chen Long.

He is stupefied to stare at the wad of hell money with his eyes full of shock. He is even slightly shivering.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Yuming frowns.

Gao Ge looks around and feels confused.

“Didn’t an old man come in here just now?” He asks.

Chen Long takes a deep breath and sits down slowly to reach out his hand to point at the wad of hell money on the table.

“After he came in, he said he wanted a new suit. I was a bit dumbfounded, and then he selected a suit of shroud and threw down a wad of hell money before he disappeared.”

Obviously, to buy a suit of shroud is the old man’s obsession.

“Is he a ghost?” Qin Yuming asks.

Chen Long nods his head bitterly.

He is so nervous.

Of course it is not because he is frightened but because he is surprised to find that none of them has noticed the old man was a ghost even after he came into the store.

This is a severe problem.

It is so serious that they start to doubt themselves. Does any critical change happening to the world make the condensed souls become so strong that even the cultivators cannot recognize them?

“What’s going on?” Chen Long says with dull eyes.

He is not capable, who has only reached the realm of Qi-practicing.

What makes him able to hold a position in the Dragon Court is mainly that he has a keen insight for souls.

However, now he suddenly finds that his advantage has been lost.

It is like that an ordinary person loses his limbs all of a sudden.

Of course he will fall into an uneasy status.

“Now it is not only you but all of us didn’t notice that.” Gao Ge says.

He didn’t look at the old man carefully but when the old man walked across them, he only regarded the man as an ordinary human and didn’t think of anything wrong about it.

Now, they realize that they were all fooled.

Chen Long stands still, just like a helpless child.

It is beyond Gao Ge’s understanding.

After all, Chen Long is a middle-aged man. He is too mentally weak.

It is only a small problem.

Moreover, Gao Ge has pointed out that it was not Chen Long’s fault and all of them didn’t notice the old man’s identity.

Gao Ge turns around and walks outside.

Qin Yuming also doesn’t intend to comfort Chen Long at the moment.

Just now Gao Ge made it rather clear. Chen Long, who is not a fool anyway, has been stimulated and can’t puzzle out for now. He will think it through with more time given to him.

Seeing Gao Ge walk out of the store and wander around, Qin Yuming doesn’t interrupt but follows him quietly.

Gao Ge doesn’t stop until about 20 minutes later.

On the roadside there are plenty of sycamore trees. Although the trees are not easy to clean up, it is an enjoyable experience to look at the sunlight through the leaves in summer.

Now Gao Ge stands under a sycamore tree.

“Do you have any findings?” Qin Yuming finally walks over to look over the big tree before her but she can’t find anything special about the tree. She cannot even tell its age, unless she cuts off the tree by half and counts the annual ring.

Gao Ge turns aside and looks at Qin Yuming, thinking for a while and saying, “I have an idea but I am not sure of it.”

“Tell me about it first.”

“I need someone to do some digging.” Gao Ge says.

Qin Yuming is a bit dumbfounded and then nods her head.

They return to the store. Gao Ge asks Chen Long to get several shovels.

Although Chen Long doesn’t know why Gao Ge asks him to do that, he looks at Qin Yuming tentatively and sees her approving face. Hence, he nods his head and goes to get the shovels.

A farm tool store is next to the adjoining house, it is not a problem to find two shovels. It can tell that Chen Long gets on well with the folks in this place. They don’t need to pay for the shovels but return them after the work is done.

With the shovels, they arrive at the sycamore tree. Gao Ge looks at the people behind him, saying, “This is it. Start working now.”

The man and the woman who follow them here are called Liu Jun and Li Yun’an. Each of them carries a shovel and goes forward to start digging a hole as directed by Gao Ge.

“What’s strange in here?” Qin Yuming asks.

“If a minor magic array exists in this place as I think, this spot should be the array eye. However, I learnt the magic array from Master Guanshan and I am kind of a dabbler, so I am not sure about that. I can only have a try.”

Hearing Gao Ge say that, Qin Yuming comes to her senses.

“If there is a magic array here, under the ground are supposed to two cats.” Gao Ge continues to say.

Suddenly, Liu Jun shouts, “We’ve got something!”

Qin Yuming and Chen Long hasten to go near and take a look while Gao Ge takes away the little chubby girl standing behind.

“Don’t you have homework to do? Why are you still here?” Gao Ge says disgruntledly.

The little girl looks rather unhappy with staring eyes.

Qin Yuming looks behind and gives a smile.

In fact, Gao Ge has a good character and he is quite considerate.

For example, he can think of bringing the kid aside at the moment.

They dig out a wooden box but the box’s shape is a bit strange. One side is higher and the other side is lower. It looks long and narrow.

“It looks quite familiar!” Li Yun’an says in a low voice.

“Sure!” Liu Jun says, “I saw the similar thing in the store!”

“Coffin?” Li Yun’an is shocked, who reacts fast and quickly comes to her senses.

Liu Jun nods his head and looks serious.

He turns around to look at Gao Ge.

This boy is rather capable!

“Open it and have a look.” Qin Yuming says.

Li Yun’an doesn’t dare to move at all subconsciously while Liu Jun acts aloof and walks forward to reach out his hand. Yet, he is stopped by Gao Ge.

“Wait!”

Liu Jun stands up straight to look at Gao Ge.

“Run your strength before you open it.” Gao Ge says.

“Why?”

“Just in case.” Gao Ge says.

Liu Jun feels depressed and says in a low voice, “How about you doing it?”

Gao Ge grins and really comes over.

He reaches out his hand to put on the small coffin. Instantly, a chill climbs onto his hand.

Luckily, Gao Ge is well prepared in advance. He urges his power of stars to melt the chill instantly.

Undoubtedly, Liu Jun made a right decision.

Otherwise, he can hardly resist the chill with his strength.

Looking at the two dead cats, Gao Ge doesn’t feel horrified. Instead, he has a tremendous feeling of achievement.

“What is the point of setting up such a magic array?” Qin Yuming asks.

“To hide the existence of ghosts.” Gao Ge takes a deep breath and says, “But this kind of magic array can only last five days at longest. It must be altered every five days.”

“Well…” Qin Yuming hears what Gao Ge said and something suddenly flashes across her mind.

Gao Ge snorts.

Looking at the expression on Qin Yuming’s face, he guesses what she is thinking about.

Actually, he thinks in that way too.
