It was late at night, but Gao's house was still brightly lit. Old Man Gao sat on the top with a solemn expression. Father Gao and Mother Gao sat by the side, and took out their mobile phones from time to time to check, so as not to miss the news of their son. Bai Xian and the head of the Zhou family were sitting next to each other, as if they were waiting for something. Zhou Nan, Ai Yu, and a young man in his twenties were standing behind them with their heads bowed, not daring to say a word.
In the middle of the living room was a compass and a map of Haicheng. A Celestial Master used Gao Shukai's blood as a guide to try to find out where he was. The blood beads rolled back and forth along the edge of the compass, then slid onto the map, set off from Haicheng Yigao, and finally stopped at the Qingyuan Mountain Cemetery.
The Tianshi accepted the technique and said in a deep voice: "The blood beads can still move, which means that he is not in danger for the time being, and he is still in the Qingyuan Mountain cemetery."
"But the police have searched the cemetery and found no trace of them. They say people are still there, people are still there, why can't they be found?" Gao's mother's eyes were red with anxiety, she looked at Ai Yu and Zhou Nan, and asked. : "I give you a salary of 50,000 yuan a month. Is that how you protect my son? It's just that I accompany him to and from school every day. Is it so difficult?"
The owner of the Zhou family immediately explained: "Madam, my Xiaonan is a premature baby and has been sick from the womb. She has to go home for a checkup on the fifteenth of every month. We have told you this in advance, and it is still listed in the contract. If you understand the terms, you should know it too."
Mother Gao held back her tears and said, "Then what about her, why isn't she here? You recommended her to me at the beginning, saying that she was the future bearer of the Xuanmen, but now something happens, you push two, two Push three, I don’t recognize all of them, is this the way your Xuanmen behaves?”
In the face of Gao's mother's accusation, Bai Xian and the Zhou family patriarch couldn't help but lose face. Don't look at the people in Xuanmen who have Taoism, their strength is not bad, they seem to be superior to others, but in fact, the dojos they are using now are all funded by the Gao family and sub-leased to them at a low price. They are usually used for cultivation. Crystal, mercury, cinnabar and other materials are also sponsored by the Gao family.
The relationship between Xuanmen and the chaebol both complements and restricts each other, and neither one is possible without them. Moreover, with the reduction of spiritual energy and the decline of Xuanmen, the cultivation of mysterious arts is no longer dependent on talent, but resources, and the role of chaebols has become more obvious.
Once Haicheng Xuanmen loses the support of Gao's chaebol, it will immediately face the danger of falling apart. Whether Gao Shukai can be found is not only a matter of the Gao family, but also a matter of Xuanmen. Thinking of this, the Zhou family patriarch glared at Ai Yu in disgust, and said sternly, "Xiao Nan will only leave if he has something to do. What about you, why are you?"
Ai Yu murmured, "I left because Gao Shukai wanted to fire me. I originally planned to return the money from the Gao family today." Others would not be able to cultivate without the support of the Gao family, but she was not afraid. Her space spiritual tool is full of rare treasures, enough for her to cultivate for a lifetime.
Zhou Nan glanced at her quickly, frowning tightly, but said nothing. He knew that it wasn't like that. Gao Shukai didn't say anything about firing Ai Yu. He just didn't admit that he liked Ai Yu. It was because of her high self-esteem that she was acting on her own. If Ai Yu was really fired, no matter how uncomfortable Zhou Nan was, he would definitely not leave the post without authorization. I don't know since when, Ai Yu has become more and more sharp, and even he almost doesn't recognize him.
Gao's mother was even more angry when she heard this: "But you didn't return the money, didn't you? If you didn't return the money, you were still his bodyguard and should be responsible for sending him home. Do you have no professional ethics at all? Is it so difficult for him to go home? If I had known this, I should not have asked two children to protect him, it is too irresponsible!"
Mr. Gao said slowly: "Zhou Xinghe, I remember that there is an unwritten rule in your Xuanmen called 'take people's money and people to eliminate disasters', whether it is a decent or an evil faction, when you receive money, you must do good things for others. But look, where did my Shukai go to you? Now I don't bother to discuss with you whose responsibility it is. If you can bring my Shukai back safely, everything is easy to say. I don't care about the door, the Gao family, you can do it as you please."
"Don't be angry, old man, we will immediately send someone to get Shukai back." The Zhou family's patriarch apologized again and again, and finally asked Bai Xian to lead the three juniors to Qingyuan Mountain.
At the same time, Lin Dan also went out with a hundred yuan in his pocket.
"Are you going out so late?" Yu Yeying asked worriedly.
"Gao Shukai is missing, I'll go find him. Lock the door and pay attention to safety."
"Do you like Gao Shukai very much?" Yu Yeying's eyes darkened.
"He is very important to me. Come on, you can go back to sleep. You have to go to school tomorrow morning." Lin Dan waved his hands without looking back and disappeared into the night.
Yu Yeying stared blankly at her back and did not move for a long time.
…
Qingyuan Mountain was shrouded in a thick fog, and even if there were no Yin and Yang eyes, ordinary people could still feel the cold, biting Yin Qi.
Bai Xian's tall and straight back was a little hazy against the haze, and even his voice seemed unreal: "Qingyuan Mountain used to be a mass burial mound, and during the late Ming, late Qing, and Anti-Japanese War, this was where people discarded dead bodies. , the soil layer is full of white bones, so the yin is very heavy, be careful."
"We got it, Uncle Shi." The eldest young man nodded in agreement. His name is Bai Sheng, and he is Bai Xian's nephew. His talent is second only to Ai Yu and Zhou Nan, and he is considered the best among the Xuanmen juniors.
"The fog is getting bigger, you all follow me closely." Bai Xian disappeared as soon as he finished speaking. Zhou Nan and the others were taken aback.
Lin Dan had already placed Tracking Gu on Gao Shukai, so he could easily control his whereabouts. She spent more than 20 yuan to buy a shovel, took a taxi, and rushed to Qingyuan Mountain overnight. The driver kept looking at her from the rearview mirror with a frightened expression. Just because her skin is too white, her lips are too red, and she is too beautiful, she looks like a soul-eating female ghost in a movie. After getting the banknotes she gave, the driver deliberately turned on the overhead lights and checked it repeatedly for a long time.
Lin Dan, relying on the feeling between the mother Gu and the daughter Gu, slowly shuttled through the thick fog, came to a tomb, dug out the soil on the surface, pryed open the coffin board, and went to lie down and sleep to death. Shen Gao Shukai.
However, as soon as she touched Gao Shukai's arm, she fainted. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in a cramped small rental house where three men were beating up a teenager. The young man was very handsome, but his body was covered with scars, including fists, stools, cigarette butts, and knife cuts.
The most physically fit man beat and scolded: "Damn you bastard, how dare you peep at Lao Tzu taking a bath!"
"I didn't!" The boy groaned while covering his head, his voice full of pain.
"It doesn't matter if you have it or not, I just don't like you! The brothers put him in the bathroom and let him taste the taste of hot pigskin." The man smiled very hideously. The other two immediately dragged the boy into the bathroom, pressed him into the bathtub, and scalded him with boiling water. Hearing his screaming and begging for mercy, they clapped their hands and laughed, their expressions extremely happy.
Lin Dan tried to stop them, but found that his hand passed through the bodies of the three of them and only caught a mass of air. She seems to have turned into a soul state.
She squatted down and carefully checked the boy's condition, but found a hint of helplessness in his dark eyes, like a small animal on the verge of death, and saw another face overlapping his face in a trance. This look, this outline, are all too familiar to her.
"Gao Shukai?" She whispered in surprise.
The boy who was so hot and twitched seemed to hear her call, and forced his eyes to look over.
Without hesitation, Lin Dan suddenly swelled his fingernails and quickly inserted them into the young man's body, pulling out the soul that did not belong to this skin. Gao Shukai slammed onto her and was hugged by her, his body still shaking uncontrollably.
The scene of the three men abusing the teenager freezes, as if a movie had been paused by the audience.
"Lin Dan, why are you here?" Gao Shukai said anxiously before he could calm down: "Run, don't get caught by the ghost! He will stuff you into this person's body and make you suffer endlessly. I have already Being tortured for more than ten rounds is really scary! Where's the door, why is the door missing?" He dragged Lin Dan around the room, looking for the door that had suddenly disappeared.
"Don't panic, just watch first." Lin Dan patted his back, his voice soothing.
When she spoke, the frozen picture began to play out again. The boy was locked in the rental house by three men. During the day when they went to work, he was bound by a chain in the bathroom. Without food, he could only starve. No water to drink, only dirty water from the toilet. At night, when the three men came back, they would take turns torturing him. They scolded him for being gay, scalded him with cigarette butts, whipped him with whips, and tortured his body with all kinds of tools they could never imagine.
And all of this is just because the teenagers were accidentally discovered by them. He is also the tenant of this house, sharing part of the rent, and has no social life with the three men, let alone grudges. They didn't have a smooth life and were losers, while the teenager was admitted to a nearby key university and had a bright future. They watched him happily go to study every day, planning his future, so they had the idea of destroying him.
The dead gay is just an excuse, as if with this name, the teenager deserves to be tortured by them.
They locked him in the house and beat him for more than ten days, forcing him to eat feces, drink urine, and do all kinds of evil things. In the end, they strangled him to death, cut his body into small pieces, and took him to a newly dug in Qingyuan Mountain. In the tomb, a layer of soil was buried. The next day, the funeral procession came and put a coffin directly on the shredded corpse, pressing him there silently.
Just looking at what happened to the teenager, Lin Dan felt cold all over his body, not to mention that Gao Shukai had experienced it himself? He has experienced it not only once, but more than a dozen times. He can still stand by his side soberly now, without falling into madness. How strong should he be? Thinking of this, Lin Dan put one arm around Gao Shukai's waist, patted Gao Shukai with the other on his back, and said softly, "It's alright, I'll take you out. I said, no matter what danger you encounter, I will will come to your rescue."
Gao Shukai was immediately healed by her comfort, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and quietly burned the tips of his ears.
