When Gu Zhisang bluntly stated that she could not calculate Zheng Xiaoyan’s specific location, the thing that “Loyal Fans” were most worried about happened.
Many people who have been lurking for a long time and netizens who have mythologized Gu Zhisang think that she has overturned this time.
[Is this the strongest mystic master? She can’t even find people. Those idiot fans boasted so much before, but now they are slapped in the face.]
[The PR company didn’t buy the script this time. After all, Zheng Xiaona is a national-level athlete, she definitely won’t cooperate with a certain actress’s hype.]
[I’m a little disappointed, I feel that Gu Zhisang is not as good as she is on the Internet…]
But there were also sensible passers-by:
[Before, you guys said she was too young to be so powerful, so it must be part of the script of the show.]
[Now that she has some problems, you guys are saying her level of skill is not high enough. You only know how to say bad things.]
[The show requires to have a specialized mystic skill. If the passing grade is 60 points, then Sangsang’s grade must be 200 points. You guys are hilarious!]
[He Mitu’s abstention itself means that this matter is difficult.]
[Some people take it for granted. This matter itself is not a purely metaphysical event. It is normal to fail to find people. If fortune-telling can bring back lost children, why are there so many parents struggling to find their kids?]
[……]
Gu Zhisang didn’t know that there was a quarrel because of her in the live broadcast room.
Even if she knew, she didn’t think she was capable of finding Zheng Xiaoyan, who disappeared more than 20 years ago.
The essential reason why she couldn’t do it was because of the special magnetic field and strange aura of this vast mountainous area.
Gu Zhisang wanted to read the faces of the Zheng Family but found that as soon as she got into the relevant information about the person ‘Zheng Xiaoyan’, the faces of the three people in the Zheng family were covered with a layer of darkness.
She wanted to use divination but found that the power of heaven and Tao disappeared out of thin air and could not be sensed at all.
This was truly a ‘lawless place’.
At a certain moment, the feeling given to her here was the same as when she was plotted against her in her previous life, and when her body was suppressed not long ago.
The power that suppressed and framed her invisibly came again.
And it was just for her, no other players felt the same way.
Xun Yiqing and Xi Haihong were both from the Taoist Sects, but they didn’t find anything unusual.
The only one who felt something was He Mitu.
Gu Zhisang didn’t know what the connection was between this force and the disappearance of ‘Zheng Xiaoyan’, but her original curiosity and enthusiasm for the case were aroused.
She felt that if she could break through the mystery and find Zheng Xiaoyan, she should be able to know what the black mist that even the underworld was searching for was about.
She remained silent for the moment and retreated to the back.
The last contestant, Daisy, looked at the crowd and smiled to liven up the atmosphere: “Oh my God, being the last contestant is too stressful, everyone in front is so strong!”
Host Liu said: “May I ask the last contestant to show us your answer board.”
Daisy responded and showed the question board, which read:
[Woman: Fencer, her sister (?) was lost when she was young, and she has always blamed herself and suffered for this incident;
Lost location: a large stone monument in front of a village.]
Daisy said: “I’m good at backtracking. When I looked at this lady’s past, I saw her wearing sportswear and fencing on the field. She looked so heroic, so I guessed her occupation.”
“Besides, there is one scene that is the clearest and one that she thinks of repeatedly. I feel that it was when this lady was young. I don’t know her exact age, but she is about ten years old, holding hands with a little girl wearing a bluish-gray dress……”
When she said this, Zheng Xiaona knew what she was talking about. She nodded hard twice and grasped her husband’s hand tightly.
“Yes, it’s Yanyan! She was wearing a bluish-gray dress that day! This master saw and answered right.”
Daisy pursed her lips and smiled: “The reason I put the question mark is that I only saw such a scene through retrospection, but I am not sure who is she. If she is your sister, I can understand you, madam, why you are in so much pain.”
“It’s because you think it was your fault that that little girl was lost. You have been living in self-blame all these years.”
Zheng Xiaona remained silent for a long time, which was regarded as acquiescence.
The old lady sitting in a wheelchair nearby blinked her cloudy eyes and touched her eldest daughter’s hand: “I don’t blame you, Xiaona.”
“It’s our fault, two old people, for not taking good care of your sisters at that time!” Old Man Zheng muttered, “I didn’t want to admit it before and turned my anger on you. I apologize to you. I never blame you in this matter.”
After the explanation, the audience learned that the Zheng Family started the business more than 20 years ago.
At that time, the economy was recovering, and they found that the prices of dried and fresh mushrooms in restaurants and food stores in their hometown were very high. They had relatives and friends from the southern province, so they knew that the prices of mushrooms there were very low.
There was no express delivery and logistics at that time, so traders collected the mushrooms from Nan Province and sold them in the capital at high prices.
If they have a way and don’t feel tired, they can resell things on both sides, and the price difference earned can make the Zheng Family rich.
Seeing the business opportunity, Old Man Zheng and his wife began to sell goods between two places.
As for their two daughters, they specially hired a fellow villager who also grew up in the city to take care of them.
It was like this for the first two or three years. Old Man Zheng and his wife were not at home during the peak season. Their two daughters had been dependent on each other, but since they were still young, they were prone to friction and often quarreled.
Zheng Xiaona didn’t like this sister when she was young.
Those years when Old Man Zheng and his wife were going to the southern province, one of the two sisters was in the sixth grade and the other was in the first grade. The nanny who had been helping them take care of their children was more than eight months pregnant and had to go to the hospital soon. She has no time and energy to help the couple take care of their children.
Seeing that summer was the mature season for mushrooms, the couple couldn’t bear to part with this hugely profitable market, so they decided to take their two children on vacation to collect mushrooms in Southern Province.
After arriving at the place, the couple rented a small hotel in the village.
Because they had to go up a mountain to collect mushrooms, the journey was tiring and time was tight, so the couple did not have enough energy to take care of the two sisters.
They had heard that there were traffickers in Nan Province, so they repeatedly asked Zheng Xiaona, who was 12 years old at the time, to keep an eye on her sister while they were away.
The two sisters were still at an age where they would quarrel over a doll or an episode of TV.
When they went to receive goods from a nearby villager’s house, the two little girls quarreled over a trivial matter. Zheng Xiaona was annoyed to death by the bad-tempered and stubborn younger sister:
“If you make trouble with me again, I won’t hold your hand!”
