It is not Qingming Festival now, and there are almost no people visiting the graves after that time. In addition, my mother's grave is not in the cemetery, but built on an old mountain, where she is buried with my father. Tang Ning and Yingzi didn't meet anyone when they climbed the mountain together.
One time, in addition to holding some flowers, Tang Ning also held a bottle of good wine, because his mother said that his father liked to drink.
Tang Ning didn't know much about his father. His father died of illness when Tang Ning was very young, so Tang Ning didn't have many memories of his father. However, he had seen old photos of his father, who was a handsome man. He also saw the diary written by his father, which was pointed out to him by his mother. It recorded his father's thoughts when Tang Ning was just born. The handwriting was neat and it clearly said "I want to be a father."
Tang Ning has always had the habit of writing. He stopped writing a diary two years ago because there was a period of time when he was too painful, so painful that he couldn't write anything down.
He thought it would be a good idea to pick it up again from today. If someone else reads his diary in the future, they might think he is writing a novel.
"arrive."
Tang Ning brought Yingzi to a tomb where his parents were buried together.
Tang Ning placed fragrant and colorful real flowers in front of the tomb, and also placed silk flowers that would never wither. Then Tang Ning opened the bottle of wine and sprinkled it beside the grave.
"Clear the weeds around our parents."
The shadow spread from the shadow's feet, and then spread out in all directions with the shadow's feet as the center. The green weeds withered and fell in an instant, and a cold breath swept across the entire cemetery.
Tang Ning looked at Shadow's weeding results. There was no grass growing at all, only a few confused ants flying around. It was much more efficient than Tang Ning's own weeding with a sickle.
Yes, mom and dad should also like a hardworking and capable daughter-in-law.
"Make the water cleaner." Tangning continued.
Shadow obeyed and quickly wiped the tombstone.
Tangning whispered to the cold stone tablet, "Dad, Mom, I'm bringing the person I love with me."
Shadow held Tang Ning's hand. The large gold bracelet on its wrist sparkled in the sun, complementing the diamond ring on Tang Ning's hand.
"He is a very good person, very capable, very kind to me, and I am very happy to be with him, so I decided to give him the gold bracelet."
"I have bought a big house now, I have enough food and clothing, and I have made many good friends. They are all very nice people."
"Mom and Dad, do you want to move to a new place? Do you want to go to a cemetery with a better environment?"
"I wanted to burn some paper money for you, but I heard that it is not allowed to be burned now for fire prevention. When my movie is released in a while, I will burn two movie tickets for you."
""
Tang Ning stood in front of the tomb and chattered for a long time. He was not a talkative person and seldom said so much. After he said all those things, Tang Ning seemed to relax from the inside out.
"Dad, Mom, I'm doing well now, you don't have to worry about me." Tangning bowed deeply to the tombstone. The shadow stood beside Tangning and bowed with him.
The sun shone on Tang Ning. He turned around and saw the shadow. At that moment, he suddenly thought of paying his respects to his parents again.
He thought that when the shadow really turned into a prince, they could have a wedding in the real world.
After sweeping the graves, Tangning and Yingzi walked down the mountain hand in hand. On the way, he picked up his phone for the rare opportunity to take a look, and saw a group message:
"Tangning, are you still sleeping? The people up there have taken the monster's head and are standing at your door."
Tangning: “”I forgot!!!
"Where's the head?" Tangning looked at the shadow nervously.
The shadow stretched its hand into the air, ripples appeared in the air, its fingertips, palms, and arms disappeared mysteriously, and then the shadow raised a trembling head from the void.
Maybe it had just been taken out of the water, its whole head was dripping, and it was hard to tell whether it was crying or the water was flowing.
Tang Ning looked at the head and felt that it was no wonder that he forgot. The head was really too insignificant and did not have any of the dignity of a monster.
"Let's go back quickly." Tang Ning urged.
After hearing this, the shadow stuffed the head back into the void. Then it picked up Tang Ning and rushed to the ground.
It did not deliberately conceal its shape, because the shadow was incredibly fast. Even if it flew over the heads of passers-by, when the passers-by raised their heads with a chill on their heads, the shadow had already reached another street, leaving the confused passers-by looking around and suspicious.
Go back or jump off the balcony. Tang Ning pretended to be just waking up. He opened the door with a guilty conscience and saw a large group of people in the corridor.
"Hello, Mr. Tang, I am the captain of the team responsible for the handover." The leader was very respectful.
Tangning said with regret: "I'm sorry, I got up late and kept you waiting."
"Mr. Tang must have consumed a lot of energy in subduing the monster last night, and he needs some time to rest. It is us who disturbed Mr. Tang, and we should be the ones to apologize to Mr. Tang." The team leader spoke sternly, with a look of deep apology on his face.
Tangning, who hadn't actually done anything, felt even more guilty: "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
The team leader did not refuse, after all, there were many people outside. He walked in carrying a box that looked very special. The moment he stepped into the room, Shadow, who had cleaned the room with great difficulty, frowned and stared at the team leader's boots.
The captain felt his knees weaken for a moment. Although the strange man behind Tang Ning was not mentioned in the information, his danger radar was warning him frantically!
The mysterious man is definitely the most terrifying being he has ever come into contact with!
"My shoes are too dirty..." The team leader tried to remain calm, but under the huge crisis, his ability to organize language declined significantly. He should have given some other reasons, but now he subconsciously expressed the disgust in the mysterious man's eyes.
He managed his facial expressions much better than Tangning, and his tone was almost calm, so Tangning didn't notice that the man in front of her was nervous.
"I remember there was a time when I put on a sex shoe. You can look for it." Tang Ning said to Yingzi. He might not be able to find it as quickly as Yingzi because Yingzi had already cleaned it up.
The shadow stretched out its hand into the void, and performed a disappearing arm trick in front of the team captain. Ripples spread out from its disappearing arm, and a powerful and mysterious aura spread invisibly, causing cold sweat to appear on the team captain's forehead.
The next moment, Shadow took out a pair of blue disposable shoe covers from mid-air.
The team leader placed the box in his hands at his already weak feet, and took the disposable shoe covers handed to him by Shadow with both hands. He was almost in tears, as this kind of stimulation was hundreds of times stronger than his leader taking the initiative to light a cigarette for him.
"Come in and sit down. You must be tired after standing for so long." Tang Ning greeted them unkindly. He had previously checked the time when Jiang Mianmian asked him in the chat group. The team had been waiting outside for at least four to five hours. They must be exhausted.
As a result, Tang Ning noticed that the captain's legs seemed to be a little weak when he walked.
"Come in and sit down too," Tang Ning called out to the people outside. He saw that everyone outside took a step back in unison.
Wow, what great discipline!
Tangning could only continue to warmly greet the tired-looking team leader, "Excuse me, what would you like to drink?"
After asking the question, Tangning suddenly realized that he had just returned and had not purchased anything: "Well, there is cold water and hot water."
"No..." The captain's lips were trembling slightly, and his voice was not as strong as it was at the beginning. Tang Ning felt even more guilty. Could it be that they had been standing outside without drinking any water
"Go pour the guest a glass of water." Tangning said to Shadow.
Another powerful and terrifying aura emerged from the kitchen. The observant captain watched helplessly as a terrifying black shadow held up a small teacup and came in front of him.
Shadow snapped his fingers, and a stream of clear water appeared out of nowhere and flowed into the cup.
The captain had foreseen that a shadow alone could kill the people he brought with him repeatedly. Thinking of this, the captain picked up the cup with trembling hands and said, "Thank you very much."
Tang Ning was not good at entertaining guests. After watching the team leader finish drinking the water, Tang Ning chatted with the team leader for a few words and then got straight to the point. The team leader opened the special box, and Tang Ning asked Shadow to take out the monster's head.
Shadow had just taken out the garbage bag and presented the trembling monster head in front of the team leader. The team leader was still pretending to be calm, but the monster head was so scared that it was about to cry. The moods of the man and the ghost reached an unprecedented harmony at that moment.
The team leader quickly put the head into the black box. Normally, monsters would resist strongly when they were imprisoned, but the monster head lay in the box cooperatively as if it had returned to its former self, and took the initiative to put all its wet long hair into the box. If it had hands, the team leader even suspected that the monster would close the box manually!
It's really horrible! What on earth happened to this monster
The team leader looked towards the shadow beside Tangning with trembling eyes. Tangning noticed the team leader's gaze and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you. He's my boyfriend."
The captain remembered that Tang Ning's boyfriend in the file was a shadow-like monster. Did she get a new boyfriend
The team leader was firm: "You two are a good match."
The dangerous aura that had been weighing on him suddenly faded a lot, and he saw the masked man standing next to the handsome young man, staring at his lover intently.
"Really? I think so too," his lover said with a smile.
Then the extremely oppressive aura that lingered on the team leader completely dissipated.
Tang Ning had a few more polite words with the team leader. After knowing that the superiors would discuss the reward with him later, Tang Ning sent the team out and watched them leave.
After they had left, Aunt Gao from across the street suddenly opened the door and looked at Tangning with the eyes of a giant panda. She suspected that some important person had taken a fancy to Tangning, or that some important person had taken a fancy to Tangning's mother in the past, or that Tangning's father was not buried in the tomb, but was a powerful person, etc. Aunt Gao had a lot of speculations in her mind, and a flattering look appeared on her face that she didn't even notice. "Tangning..."
Before Aunt Gao could finish her words, Tangning closed the door. Through the door, Tangning could vaguely hear Aunt Gao muttering, "Why are you so proud? Isn't it like his mother who has a good face?"
Tangning calmly removed his hand from the doorknob. He was about to go back to his room to pack up his things before leaving. However, at that moment, he suddenly heard another voice, "Hello! Are you the lady who has the honor of living across from you?!"
Tang Ning blinked blankly. He felt that the exaggerated voice was a little familiar.
"Me? I'm a die-hard fan of Tangning! No way, no way, no way would anyone not want Tangning to be the male lead in a movie directed by a famous director!"
Tangning: “?”
"It's not just the entertainment industry. Some things are known to those who understand. If you don't understand, I can't tell you. I can only say that things are complicated and involve huge interests. For example, Tangning helped a businessman worth tens of billions and he burst into tears. He gave him a villa worth tens of millions as a thank you gift."
Tangning: “???”
"What? How could I lie to you about something like that? If you don't believe me, you can check it out—"
Tangning opened the door and saw Li Haoyuan, whom he had rescued yesterday, talking to Aunt Gao, who was already stunned. Hearing the door open, Li Haoyuan bowed to Tangning and said, "I can never repay you for saving my life. I am willing to work like a slave for you and follow you till death!"
Tangning: “???”
Tangning looked at the exaggerated and energetic Li Haoyuan and found it hard to connect the two with their initial state. "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
"Okay."
Li Haoyuan walked to the door and bowed to the shadow again, "Hello."
Tang Ning closed the door and found that Li Haoyuan had taken out disposable shoe covers from his pocket and was standing by the door with full preparation.
"How did you get my news?" Tangning couldn't help but ask. The movie news was just some small news, but the villa gift was something that no one in the entertainment industry reported.
"I went to the game forum last night to check some news about you."
"Forum?" Tangning nodded. He hadn't visited a forum in a long time.
"What's the matter with you visiting me this time?" Tangning asked.
"I would like to recommend myself and have the guts to team up with you in this dungeon. My advantage is that I am a newbie and have only completed a dungeon once, which can greatly reduce the difficulty for you to take on this dungeon. The card I drew is the S-level Werewolf Ace. With this card, I have exceptional physical qualities in terms of dungeon capacity, speed, sense of smell, etc." Li Haoyuan did not hide anything and told Tang Ning everything. He even opened his phone to open the card game interface and showed Tang Ning the S-card he had.
A dark gold frame, a pitch-black background, and under a bloody moon, there is a majestic wolf howling towards the sky.
Werewolf Ace Setting 1: Your physical fitness is very strong, and it will be greatly improved on the night of the full moon.
Werewolf Lord Setting Card 2: You can command the wolf pack.
It is indeed a good S card. If it is in a copy with a werewolf background, it will be invincible.
Tangning glanced at Li Haoyuan again and found that Li Haoyuan was sitting upright and nervously introducing himself: "In the card game, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. I will report to you before doing anything and will never act smart."
Li Haoyuan's attitude was very humble, and he almost said "I am willing to be your dog", because this time Li Haoyuan was determined to curry favor with someone.
The card world is very dangerous, and he may lose his life in every copy he takes. Perhaps rich people can spend a lot of money in the real world to find an old man to take them through the levels, but Li Haoyuan is not a rich man. He has always been an ordinary person, living an ordinary life.
Perhaps it was the law of conservation of luck. After experiencing extreme misfortune in the past few days, Li Haoyuan saw an unprecedented light yesterday. He didn't know how long he could be illuminated by the light.
The forum told him that Tang Ning had just passed a level A dungeon. For the next dungeon, Tang Ning would most likely team up with newcomers to pass a low-level dungeon. Players at Tang Ning's level were no longer short of money, and ordinary tools were difficult to impress them. So Li Haoyuan was not worried about not having enough money. His bargaining chip was that he was really willing to give everything he had.
After listening to Li Haoyuan's introduction, Tangning felt like an HR from a large company. "You want to team up with me? But I'm not a big shot. I may not be able to guarantee the safety of your people."
"You don't need to protect me. You've already saved me when I met you yesterday." If Tang Ning hadn't reminded him, he, who was afraid of the light, would not have opened the card game until his death.
Li Haoyuan looked at the beautiful and somewhat fragile young man in front of him, and he said word by word: "I believe in my intuition. My intuition tells me that teaming up with you is the greatest opportunity in my life."
In fact, since he met Tang Ning yesterday, he had already made a profit by escaping the inevitable death.
Looking at Li Haoyuan with a burning gaze, Tang Ning thought for a moment. His disadvantage was that his physical fitness was too poor, and Li Haoyuan's card happened to be a physical enhancement, and it was also a rare S-level card, which could just make up for his shortcomings. It seemed that it would be a good idea to cooperate with Li Haoyuan.
"Okay." As Li Haoyuan looked at her in disbelief, Tangning smiled and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation next time."
After dealing with the old matters briefly, Tang Ning and Yingzi boarded a plane together and chose a few places to have fun for a few days. During this time, he asked the people above for a reward, which was a rare space tool. It looked like an ordinary black ring with a ten-cubic-meter storage space inside. Only inanimate objects could be placed inside. Inanimate objects did not refer to supernatural creatures, such as the kind that Yingzi could not be stuffed into.
Tang Ning then used his own points to purchase a large number of healing equipment. Lu Yuhua's abundant healing in the previous dungeon had impressed Tang Ning deeply. With his delicate body, it was difficult for Tang Ning to use cards lower than S-level to strengthen his body. Therefore, he might as well save up some healing equipment and use a storage ring to restore his health when injured.
Since the amount of Gu on the ring would disappear over time, Tang Ning didn't know how much Gu was left in the next copy, so he made a deal with Yi Wan, and exchanged "An Jing's clothes", the Sucker Card, and some points for two defensive tools.

In addition to the two, Tangning had a lot of points because of the great harvest from the last S-level dungeon. He exchanged them for many things. He took a look at his dazzling array of new items:
『Shangqing Pond Water』
