Gu Zhisang had already played with communication equipment and felt that mobile phones and the Internet were simply the greatest inventions in eight hundred years. After calling a taxi, she set off from the hotel to the airport.
To prevent noise, the city’s airport was built in a remote suburb. The scenery passing by along the way was all sparse bungalows and wilderness, which looked desolate and silent in the foggy morning.
The driver yawned, turned from the intersection, and continued driving forward. However, when his peripheral vision caught sight of the sign on the roadside, he paused.
How could he feel that he seemed to have walked through this journey just now?
Could it be that he remembered it wrong?
The driver couldn’t help but shudder, and his heartfelt fuzzy. He mustered up his energy and told himself that he must not have woken up yet, so don’t scare yourself.
However, after turning another corner and driving from the intersection to another road, he saw the same sign again!
This time the driver couldn’t fool himself.
Cold sweat broke out on his back, and all kinds of urban rumors and ghosts came to mind uncontrollably.
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind:
“Mister.”
The driver was so frightened that he groaned. He turned his head and saw that it was the fair and extremely beautiful young woman at the back who was speaking. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, “Oh, passenger, what is it?”
Gu Zhisang glanced at the dark blue mist outside the window and said:
“Just park on the side of the road. I’m sorry to trouble you this time. I’ll pay you the original price on your phone.”
The driver was stunned for a moment, “It will still take a while before we get to the airport.”
“It’s okay, just leave me here.”
Seeing the quiet girl insisting, the driver lowered his voice and said:
“Girl, I’m not trying to cheat you on your gas bill. Let me tell you the truth, I’ve been driving to the airport for more than 10 years. Even with my eyes closed, I know when to turn and which way to go! At this intersection right now, we’ve been around three times… I’m afraid we might have encountered something and got trapped!”
“How can I leave you here, if anything happens to you…”
He said, picking up the phone and about to make a call: “Let me see, ah, there is still a signal!”
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye and saw Gu Zhisang’s extraordinarily calm face in the mirror. Her slightly raised eyes were as deep as an ancient well, showing no trace of fear.
Gu Zhisang: “It’s okay, they came to see me.”
The driver was so frightened that he almost lost his grip on his mobile phone.
He parked the car cautiously and bravely took the suitcase for Gu Zhisang. When he looked up, he saw that the black-haired young woman with snow-skinned skin had taken out a sword-shaped, slender wooden sword from somewhere in her empty hand.
The surface of the wooden sword was uneven, and the holes in the hilt were strung with red spikes.
Gu Zhisang used the tip of her sword as a staff and tapped the ground twice. The driver felt that the morning fog around him seemed to be lighter.
“Mister, just keep driving along this road.”
The driver nodded in panic. After getting in the car, he watched Gu Zhisang’s figure in the rearview mirror getting smaller and smaller and was finally blurred by the fog.
Not long after driving this time, there was traffic around him, and he successfully reached other sections of the road. The driver breathed a sigh of relief but was a little worried about the safety of the passenger just now.
After thinking for a while, he turned around the intersection again. This time, the morning fog had completely dissipated, and there was no one on the roadside.

After seeing the driver off, Gu Zhisang’s expression instantly darkened.
She raised the corners of her lips smiled with her eyes wide open, and said in a loud voice: “Friends from somewhere, this is not a good way to invite someone.”
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a laugh came from not far away,
“I have been hearing from my friends that a very interesting young lady has appeared recently. Her Feng Shui formation is very sophisticated. I didn’t believe it before, but now after meeting you, I know what a young talent is!”
Gu Zhisang looked coldly at the mystic masters who appeared.
There were eight people in the group. Judging from their clothing, they should not belong to the same family, Taoist temple, or sect, but they all had Taoist grade tags hanging on their waists.
As soon as she appeared, the mystic master trapped her in the maze of the ‘Qi Men Dun Jia’. It was obvious that these people had figured out her movements in advance.
Little did they know that while they were at her, she was also looking at them.
Master Xuan, who had set up the formation, looked fearful lowered his voice, and said, “Brother Ren, this person should not be underestimated!”
In addition to being vigilant, the profound master who was proficient in formations could not help but feel jealous after seeing Gu Zhisang’s age.
At such a young age, this woman was able to easily break through his illusory formation. Such a talent was not possessed by her. How unfair was God?!
Master Ren Zhenzi smiled lightly and said without hiding his voice: “It’s okay, we are not here to make enemies of Miss Gu, there is no need to be so nervous.”
Gu Zhisang: “???”
This man was so shameless. He speaks so grandly. If he has the ability, then don’t surround her.
She looked around and said, “Taoist Masters, Lu Ban Sect, Tianji Sect… I’m sorry that a little master like me has alarmed such senior sect masters. I don’t know why you are looking for me, so why don’t you just tell me?”
Ren Zhenzi smiled as his eyes turned gloomy.
After a while, he said: “I underestimated Miss Gu’s knowledge.”
There were many people in their group, especially the descendants of the Luban Sect. Among the five sects, he did not choose any weaklings. Everyone was as talented as the other mystic masters. How did Gu Zhisang figure it out?!
Ren Zhenzi said: “The reason for inviting little friend, Miss Gu, this time is to discuss with you. I hope you can return the Xuanmen thing to us. Don’t worry, little friend, our Xuanmen are not unreasonable people. If you need anything, my little friend, like a talisman in exchange, we can negotiate.”
Gu Zhisang was confused and at a loss: “Xuanmen thing is with me?”
These old guys weren’t throwing dirty water on themselves just to target themselves, were they?
Ren Zhenzi choked and said unhappily: “Of course, it’s the jade finger bone.”
“Ah?” Gu Zhisang was confused, “You think that bone pulled out from the grave belongs to your Xuanmen? This is too shameless. You might as well just grab them.”
“You child is too impudent!” The middle-aged profound master behind Ren Zhenzi widened his eyes and roared angrily.
Ren Zhenzi coughed lightly and said, “Little friend doesn’t know. The owner of this finger bone is a disciple of Taoist Jun Hong, the founder of our sect. The reason why he turned human bones into white jade is because he suffered a thunderstorm in our sect’s realm. This thing and our sect have a deep fate, so naturally it belongs to Xuanmen.”
“We also know that the incident happened suddenly and was a bit abrupt. We need this thing to suppress the evil spirit. Please understand, little friend.”
After a moment of silence, Gu Zhisang said bluntly: “Excuse me, I don’t understand. According to your explanation, does a dog have to leave a bone when it passes in front of your door, and a flying goose in the sky has to pluck two hairs for you to pass by?”
“I have the thing, but I won’t give them to you.” Gu Zhisang sighed: “I didn’t expect that after a few hundred years, the descendants of Xuanmen would be so shameless.”
Fortunately, Taoist Jun Hong ascended early, otherwise, if her Master found out, he would be so angry that he would jump down from the Immortal World and kick these scumbags out.
Some of the Xuan Masters in the group were a little embarrassed. They were sent here forcibly by their superiors. At this time, they also felt a little embarrassed when they heard the accusations and curses from a junior. They felt that the decision made by the sect was bad……
While some were furious, thinking that Gu Zhisang was insulting their noble sect.
“You arrogant little girl, I think you are seeking death! Today, I will teach you a lesson for your elders!”
