An hour later, the carriage finally arrived at the entrance of Daxi Village. It was still early and cold, and only a few children were playing and laughing under a large tree at the entrance.

"Master, Miss Mu, we have arrived at Daxi Village. Where should we go first?"

The carriage stopped. Yun Qing sat upright on a stool in the carriage, still holding Mu Qingcheng firmly. The person in his arms was sleeping soundly.

Along the way, Yun Qing listened to her snoring and felt like he was holding a sleepy cat in his arms. Although he couldn't see this scene, just imagining it made him almost laugh out loud.

After hearing Moyu's report, Yunqing didn't respond. He only heard the person in his arms mumbling in his sleep: "Don't make noise, I haven't slept enough. The college entrance examination is over, and you won't let me sleep. How annoying!"

"Ha..." Yun Qing finally couldn't help it. He hugged Mu Qingcheng with one hand and quickly covered his mouth with the other hand.

Mu Qingcheng opened her eyes dazedly, and saw a handsome face standing before her. Her mind was still wandering in another world, and her first reaction was that this was another prank by her brother.

So she reached out and pinched Yun Qing's face and shouted, "Mu, Qing, Yan, you come to disturb my sleep again..."

Uh! This person doesn't seem to be his brother...

Yun Qing was stunned by the pinch. No one had ever dared to pinch his face.

Mu Qingcheng was also confused. What was going on? Where was she? What was she doing? Why was he holding her while sleeping...?

"Ah!" Mu Qingcheng jumped off Yun Qing and sat back on her quilt, regaining consciousness instantly.

"I, how come I fell asleep and you didn't wake me up?"

The cat in her arms had escaped, leaving Yun Qing feeling a little disappointed. She could only awkwardly tidy up her clothes. Mu Qingcheng was even more embarrassed; she didn't even dare to look at him.

"We've already arrived at Daxi Village. You should change your clothes first. I'll wait for you outside the car."

Yun Qing got out of the carriage as if he was escaping. It was the first time in his life that he felt so embarrassed. Fortunately, Mo Yu didn't see it.

Moyu had already run to the big tree at the entrance of Xiaxi Village to tease the children. Ever since he scared the children last time, he had bought candies and gave them to the children whenever he saw them.

Now, children are no longer afraid of him when they see him. They gather around him and call him uncle. Some children even have the courage to call him Uncle Scar.

Ha! He likes this name, how domineering. Those who call Scar Uncle will get two more candies.

Mu Qingcheng felt frustrated for a while in the carriage, thinking that since he couldn't see her anyway, she could just comfort herself. She quickly put on her clothes and combed her hair before getting out of the carriage.

When I saw Yun Qing, I was about to say something to ease the situation, but Yun Qing asked with a smile.

"Are you hungry? There's breakfast prepared for you in the carriage. I meant to eat it on the way, but you fell asleep. It's probably cold by now."

Mu Qingcheng turned her face away and thought to herself, why are you still talking about falling asleep?

She gave him an awkward smile: "I'm not hungry, so where are we going now?"

Yun Qing said without thinking: "Let's go directly to the haunted house."

"Ah!" Is it so exciting?

"But, but we haven't made any preparations, how are we going to get there? I heard it's really haunted there, don't we need to buy a cinnabar peach wood sword or something?"

Yun Qing smiled and said, "No need to prepare, we can just respond to each move as it comes!"

"Oh!" Is this really okay?

So the three of them got on the carriage again and headed straight for the haunted house. When they arrived outside the bamboo forest of the haunted house, they parked the carriage and the ox cart on the side of the road. There would definitely be no one here, and the villagers didn't dare to take this road.

Yun Qing felt something unusual as soon as he got off the carriage. It was almost noon and the sun was shining brightly, but all he could see was darkness. He couldn't see anything, and he could indeed feel that the place was filled with a heavy yin energy.

Yun Qing's master is a Taoist. His master taught him since he was a child that ghosts and gods, like humans, are products of yin and yang, but they exist in different forms.

Taoism emphasizes the balance of yin and yang, believing that gods, humans, and ghosts, while different in their paths, all share the same purpose, yet are mutually reinforcing and indispensable. My master has said that ghosts and gods exist to embody the balance of yin and yang, not to be terrifying. Therefore, ghosts are not to be feared.

"Moyu, where is the house?"

Mo Yu said, "Master, we can't see the house from this direction. When Miss Mu stood there, she only saw a section of the wall."

Mo Yu led Yun Qing to the place where Mu Qingcheng had stood before. There, they could see a section of wall through the thick weeds and bamboo forest.

Yun Qing said, "Then go in from here."

Yun Qing raised his foot and was about to walk in, and Mu Qingcheng became a little nervous again.

"Just, just go in like this?"

Yun Qing turned around and took Mu Qingcheng's hand and said, "Don't worry, hold on to me, everything will be fine."

Mu Qingcheng walked beside Yun Qing, with Mo Yu leading the way. The three of them pushed aside the weeds and headed towards the wall. The broken wall was right in front of them, but after walking for a long time, they couldn't reach it. They tried many times, but they always ended up back where they started.

"Ha! There is indeed something strange." Yun Qing said.

Mu Qingcheng also felt that this bamboo forest was very strange. Could it be that someone had used the Bagua formation or Qimen Dunjia? Could there really be such a master who set up such a formation?

Mu Qingcheng thought, if it was really that magical, then what was the point of having security doors? Wouldn’t it be safer if everyone just set up a formation?

Yun Qing looked embarrassed. Although he had been learning from his master for more than ten years, he did not like studying the Bagua or formation diagrams. He was only obsessed with martial arts. The Bagua formation in front of him really stumped him.

Mu Qingcheng didn't believe it. As a graduate who had taken the college entrance examination, she couldn't handle this. She rolled up her sleeves and drew geometric shapes on the ground with branches, and also solved a few equations.

Mo Yu was watching with excitement. This is a magic trick! The talismans drawn by this Taoist priest are different from those drawn by ordinary Taoist priests.

Yun Qing couldn't see and didn't know what Mu Qingcheng was doing, so he asked Mo Yu.

"Hush!" He whispered, "Miss Mu is probably trying to break this formation."

Yun Qing: “…”

Mu Qingcheng was calculating while muttering, "It's unscientific, it's unscientific."

"Master, what is science?"

Yun Qing: “…”

Suddenly, Mu Qingcheng stood up and said to the two of them excitedly: "I figured it out. Look, I figured it out..."

Yun Qing: "..." He couldn't see.

Mo Yu: “…” He couldn’t understand it!

Mu Qingcheng explained: "Let me tell you, this terrain is an isosceles triangle, and the house is in the middle. If you want to get in, you have to find the right angle..."

Mu Qingcheng talked for a long time, Yun Qing seemed to understand something, but Mo Yu was completely confused.

Mu Qingcheng circled the bamboo forest and found the center point of the line between the two points. She waved her hand and said ambitiously, "Come on, I'll take you in."

The three of them changed their location and continued walking into the bamboo forest. Yun Qing still held Mu Qingcheng's hand, and Mo Yu led the way in front.

Mu Qingcheng converted the distance into one step and counted it in her mind. When she had counted enough, she changed direction and continued moving forward.

In this way, the three people circled around in the woods, but this time they didn't come back, and a house really appeared in front of them.
