Ding-ling-ling, the bell for the end of get out of class rang.

Wang Hao stuffed the book into the hole in the table, a relieved smile on his face, nudged Su Chen with his elbow, and smiled slyly: "Let's go to the alley to eat fish hotpot."

"...No, I have things to do."

"what's up?"

Su Chen pulled the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "I accepted an order to go to a haunted village to take a look. If there are any problems, solve them. Someone wants to develop that area."

Wang Hao became interested when he heard this. He was bored so he went over to take a look.

She grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go: "I want to go too. Take me with you so I can broaden my horizons. I'm going to make paper figurines in the future, and I need to exercise my brain more."

"...There's a connection between making paper figurines and seeing ghosts. Are you sure you want to go? Don't blame me if you piss your pants. And can you promise to be absolutely obedient?"

"Listen, I must listen, brother, take me there~~~"

Su Chen was so disgusted by him that he pulled away his sleeve and said unhappily, "Pack your things. We'll eat there and find out some news while we're there."

Wang Hao chuckled and followed behind with an empty bag on his back.

The two drove to Sanhe Town and walked straight into a noodle restaurant. They were stunned when they entered. There were two or three Taoist priests sitting in the house.

"Huh? Brother, why is there a Taoist priest here?"

"I don't know. Let's go eat noodles."

The proprietress came over with a smile and said enthusiastically, "What would you like to eat? We have beef noodles and shredded chicken noodles..."

Wang Hao's eyes rolled, and he said cheerfully, "Madam, I want two bowls of beef noodles. By the way, I want to ask you about Shangxi Village. Do you know anything about it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other Taoists looked over with strange looks in their eyes.

The proprietress's smiling face suddenly fell. She looked at him warily with a hint of fear in her eyes. "Why are you asking this? I'm in town. How can I know what's going on in an entire village?"

"Okay, stop asking. I don't know anything. I'll bring the noodles up to you later."

Wang Hao blinked and muttered softly, "I was just asking casually, it's not against the rules, but the boss lady's eyes looked like she wanted to eat me."

"Su Chen, can you figure out something? This lady boss must know something. Is she hiding something?"

Su Chen shrugged helplessly: "I'm good at things related to metaphysics, but if you ask me to read people's hearts, how can I know what she is thinking and why she is angry."

"But seeing how she's so reluctant to mention Shangxi Village, it seems like there's something wrong with that village. If you can't find out anything, just go and take a look. Then everything will become clear."

"That won't do. We're going there without any preparation. What if something happens? After dinner, I'll go out for a walk and I'll definitely find out the news for you."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Wang Hao puffed out his chest, looking very proud: "Don't worry, I'm very easygoing. I'll just go to the old man and the old lady and I'm sure I'll know everything."

Su Chen laughed silently and said nothing.

Not long after, the proprietress came over with noodles and said with a stern face, "I advise you not to go there. That village is very strange and people who go there often disappear."

"You guys are so young, why are you so pessimistic? You went on a lot of adventures before, and even went to the mountains to collect folk songs, but few of them came out alive anyway."

"Okay, don't ask any more questions. Just consider it a friendly reminder."

Wang Hao opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back.

"Oh, I'm dying of suffocation. Why is the lady boss talking halfway through? Hurry up and eat while it's hot. I'll go and ask around after you're done."

Su Chen hummed: "If you give cash, someone will always tell you. It's hard to get information without paying."

"I understand. Don't worry."

The two of them were busy eating noodles when a little Taoist priest came over, his eyes rolling around and looking mischievous.

"Hey fellow Taoist, you are also from Xuanmen, I wonder which sect you are from, if we want to go together."

"My name is Xu Mi, a young disciple of the Xuanqing Sect. I came down the mountain this time to gain experience. Our sect conducts training once a year, and I happened to be assigned to Shangxi Village..."

Xu Mi is a chatterbox who talks non-stop. He doesn't look like a Taoist but more like a salesman.
