Chapter 38: The Ghost Lies on the Ground with Tears Running Down It's Nonexistent Eyes

On the way home, Su Zui took the jade pendant out from inside his clothes and looked at it carefully. It was a fine white jade in the shape of a phoenix. It was cut out delicately from a fat cut of white jade. The jade was flawless, and with just one look, one could tell it was a high quality jade.

Unfortunately, this piece of white jade now had a huge crack down the middle. These fractured wings of the phoenix were auspicious, and it gave people a strong ominous feeling. ​

With one glance, Su Zui knew that the jade was going to last only two months.

As soon as he got home, he asked Father Su to find the ancient books handed down from their ancestors.

"Even if we find them, there's no use," said the embarrassed Father Su, "those ancient books are written in words that can only be understood by the people of Taoism."

"I haven't seen it before, so I want to take a look. My physique is different from that of ordinary people. Didn't grandfather say that if the younger generation were destined, then they would be able to revive the inheritance?"

Father Su hesitated, "Your grandfather did say this before."

There was indeed such a thing, but Father Su always thought that the old man only said these words to reconcile him.

The old man was unlike him who had no interest in metaphysics at all. The old man was very enthusiastic about gods, ghosts, and ghosts. Since childhood, he had been bitter about the broken family inheritance. He dreamed of understanding those ancient books, and revitalizing the old industry.

But this wish could not come true even when he was dead.

Father Su thought for a while and said, "The ancient books were hidden by me in my hometown. Let's eat first. After eating, I will drive you there."

Although he could not understand the ancient books, but since they were handed down by his ancestors, he didn't dare to casually store them anywhere. So he hid it properly back at the old mansion.

Su Zui suggested, "I still have a period of time before school starts. Let's stay at your hometown for a while. I'm afraid that if we stay here, that Master Meng will come to find trouble with us."

Father Su agreed. If Tao Master Meng really felt resentful because of today's affairs, Su Zui and him were ordinary people who could not even touch the edge of the Tao gate, could not fight back at all.

He thought for half a minute, "That sounds good, then after we eat and pack up, we'll go back and live for half a month."

Su Zui answered affirmatively.

Su Zui wasn't going back to the old house just to hide away from Meng HeYang or to read the ancient books. He wanted to go back to also look at the defensive arrays around the old house.

(T/N: I will be using formation and array interchangeably.)

Although the formation had been left unmaintained for a long time, and the effects of the formation were weak, but this was unimportant. The important thing was that the formation was complete.

If he could just find the right repair method, even if he had to carry it around, it was still very useful.

The lunch was made by Father Su. He wasn't good, but it was enough. The two men simply cleaned up after the meal and returned to their hometown where the old house was before dark.

After they entered the village, people came one after another to greet them and ask why they came back.

Father Su laughed, "The city is as hot as a steamer. Since it is vacation, I brought the kid back to rest."
