No need to mention anything else, the Taoist method that can call thunder made him very jealous and greedy.

Thinking of this, Zheng Cheng’s attitude became even more eager: “We have also considered this issue, so we deliberately set the time for Qingming Festival. The location is Maojiugou in Bai Province. Master Lin may not know that there has been a rumor going on for a long time. This rumor is about ancient ruins in Maojiugou. Although I don’t know if this rumor is true, the magnetic field there is disordered. Even modern equipment cannot survey the whole picture there. To tell you the truth Master Lin, there are several ways of formation there, so there must be some relics inside. Master Lin might as well bring his apprentice to see and get together with colleagues to see something new and refreshing. The association will reimburse all travel and accommodation expenses.”

Lin Qingyin’s heart moved: “Maojiugou? Okay, send me the time and place, and we will go there on time.”

As a master of numerology who can deduce the secrets of heaven and calculate the rise and fall of a country, Lin Qingyin’s intuition was quite accurate. After Zheng Cheng mentioned the word Maojiugou, she had an idea in her heart, wishing to go to this place to see it immediately.

With less than a week left before the Qingming Festival, Jiang Wei hurriedly bought a plane ticket and prepared things, and the two flew to Bai Province overnight during the holiday.

Although it was under the guise of an exchange meeting, Zheng Cheng still managed to do well. In addition to the few people Zhu Weizhen had found before, Zheng Cheng also called a dozen or so Taoist Masters who had an excellent personal relationship with him. Zheng Cheng always felt that Lin Qingyin was a bit evil, he was afraid that the few of them would not be able to handle her. Bringing a few more people would secure success more.

What Zheng Cheng said about the rumor was true. Although it was called ruins, it belongs to the Changbai Mountains. The rolling mountains and dangerous terrain make this place far away from the sight of the world.

Maojiugou was full of obstacles. During difficult times, many villagers ventured to the mountains to look for food, but none of them came back. Until now, the area near Maojiugou has had no human habitation.

There was no one here so the land was cheap. Zheng Cheng only used a small amount of money to buy a large piece of land. He used the money from the association to build a house here in the name of the association. The inside was antique, but there were many formations, especially in the backyard that leads directly to Maojiugou. As soon as people enter the mountain, there will be a steps mechanism.

The people Zheng Cheng sent to the airport took Lin Qingyin and Jiang Wei directly to the house. Zheng Cheng pulled up the banner in a dignified manner and introduced the masters who came with him to Lin Qingyin.

Lin Qingyin smiled while looking at everyone’s faces. No one among them has a righteous mind. Some people with a bit of talent cheat people out of money, while the vicious ones have people’s lives in their hands.

Seeing Lin Qingyin’s smile, Zheng Cheng felt guilty, and took his hand back embarrassingly: “I don’t know what Master Lin is smiling about?”

The corners of Lin Qingyin’s mouth curled up: “I don’t know if President Zheng has inquired about me. If you do, you should know that I am good at face reading. For example, things like poisoning, framing and taking away wives and daughters can’t be hidden in my eyes. Just like what Chairman Zheng did seven years ago, you think only god knows about it, but you don’t know that I can tell it from your face.”

When Lin Qingyin said those words, Zheng Cheng was startled, and the smile on his face couldn’t hold back when he heard the last word. Lin Qingyin was playing with an ancient coin in her hand and glanced at Zheng Cheng: “I know the purpose of you calling me here, so I don’t need to act in the play. I don’t want to waste time, so let’s go straight up the mountain.”

Zheng Cheng had cheated on so many people in his life, but it was the first time he didn’t know how to deal with people for a while. Lin Qingyin stopped talking nonsense with him and walked directly to the backyard.

At this time, Zheng Cheng didn’t care about any of his plans, he quickly winked at the others, and followed Lin Qingyin to the backyard. Zheng Cheng didn’t know much time about the formation array in the backyard. He connected his formation array with the formation on the mountain. As long as she entered the big formation array, she would fall into the palm of his hand.

When Lin Qingyin entered the formation array, Zheng Cheng immediately hugged a pillar in the garden and turned it three times to activate it. Lin Qingyin didn’t even turn her head when she heard the movement, she simply walked out of the range of the formation in a few steps and went straight up the mountain.

A group of people watched Lin Qingyin walk away with her little apprentice in such a swaggering way, and they all looked at Zheng Cheng in a daze: “President, has your formation been activated yet?”

It was the first time Zheng Cheng had been slapped in the face in so many years. His face flushed with embarrassment. He gritted his teeth and said: “This is just a small test, the big battle is still in front.”

“Then what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and chase after her!” Zhu Weizhen yelled and ran towards the back door. When the others saw it, they followed in fear the other party would escape.

Zheng Cheng became anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly restored the pillar to its original position, but he felt dizzy and fell to the ground. When he got up from the ground, he found that he was no longer in the same place. He also saw the others. Those who fell to the ground were all his allies. Lin Qingyin looked at them with a smile: “I was afraid that you would not be able to enter Maojiugou, so when I passed through, I fiddled a little with the formation and brought you all together.”

Jiang Wei who was on the side echoed with a smile: “It’s nothing to worry about, but after entering the mountain, everything depends on your skill!”

Zheng Cheng looked around him and almost fainted from fright. What kind of formation did he enter?!
