Gu Ming thought for a long time, but she still couldn't figure it out. She looked at her phone, contacts, call records, texts, and some wechat and QQ messages.
Finally, her fingers stopped on the phone at home. Her parents'numbers were on it. Ye Xiao had said that he didn't have her home number, but this phone had it. She had lost all her memories. Now that she had her family's contact information, she naturally wanted to contact them.
She tapped it nervously.
A beeping sound came from the other end of the phone. After a while, a steady male voice came over, "Ming Ming? "
Gu Ming called out tentatively, "Dad. "
Gu Qi was a little puzzled, "it's already so late, why are you still awake? " There was a time difference between overseas and domestic. Gu Qi still did not know what had happened to Gu Ming.
Gu Ming originally wanted to tell them about her memory loss, but for some reason, the matter of her mother taking care of her child abroad suddenly appeared in her mind. Her words rolled in her throat, but in the end, she still did not say it She said softly, "it's nothing. There was a small accident in my house. I was afraid that you would be worried if you saw it, so I told you in advance. "
Gu Ming casually said a few words to Gu Qi and asked a few more questions about her mother's situation. After learning that her mother was doing well, she hung up the phone.
The sound of frogs croaking could be heard from the roadside.
There were no street lights here. The road was extremely dark. Other than the car lights, there was no light at all.
Ye Xiao was focused on driving. He noticed the situation on Gu Ming's side and asked, "why didn't you tell them about your situation? "
Gu Ming sat up straight and said, "it's not a big deal. Let me think about it. "
Ye Xiao did not say anything else. After half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.
The car stopped in front of a large iron gate. Ye Xiao honked the horn. There was a small house by the door, and the lights were still on inside. When the car horn sounded, the lights in the small house flashed for a moment, and then the large iron gate slowly opened.
Ye Xiao drove in.
This place was built by the Ye family. After entering the Iron Gate, there was a long stretch of road. There were street lamps on both sides, and there were old-fashioned houses built inside. They were scattered in the northeast, southwest, and northwest. In the middle, there was a round altar, white in color There was a particularly large incense stick lit on it. It was about half a meter wide and three meters tall. No one knew how the incense was made.
Candles were lit in the north, south, east, and West Directions.
These things had been there since Ye Xiao could remember. The incense in the middle of the altar changed bit by bit, and the candles in the north, east, south, and West changed every month.
The Iron Gate behind them slowly closed. It was dark outside the Iron Gate, and it was almost midnight. It looked quite scary.
Gu Ming quickly turned her head back and inadvertently glanced at the small house by the Iron Gate. The lights were on inside the house, but she did not see anyone.
The small house was small and long. It was cut into three rooms and could accommodate people.
Gu Ming thought, "the people in the house might be inside. ".
Tang Heping and the others were assigned to the east side. Ye Xiao drove to the east side. The Altar was in the middle. No matter which direction they went, they would pass by the altar.
Ye Xiao looked at the time. It was still five minutes to twelve o'clock. Calculating the time, it should be less than twelve o'clock when they passed by the altar.
He let out a sigh of relief.
He always felt that the altar here was a little strange. He did not like this place very much. He was not worried about himself, but about Gu Ming. The Golden Stopwatch brought Gu Ming to his bathroom. The Stopwatch was not an ordinary item. Since Gu Ming could use it, it meant that Gu Ming was not an ordinary person.
Tonight, the secret realm was opened. Only fated people could enter.
Alright, he had sent Gu Ming here on purpose because he had some friendship with Gu Ming. He wanted Gu Ming to have a chance.
When they passed by the altar.
Gu Ming suddenly asked Ye Xiao, "did you hear anything? "
Ye Xiao listened carefully and then shook his head. "What did you hear? "
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge bell rang twelve times in a row. It was midnight, and the altar was less than a meter away from the carriage.
Ye Xiao cursed in a low voice. Damn it, wasn't it not yet twelve o'clock?
The carriage suddenly seemed to have gone mad as it rushed towards the altar.
A white light flashed under the altar. The shape of the white light was like a huge ye family emblem. It was fleeting, and when the light disappeared, the entire carriage disappeared along with the two people on it.
Ye Xiao did not know that his watch was five minutes late.
The trial officially began.
-
Ye Xiao and Gu Ming were shocked when the car crashed into the altar and fainted.
When they woke up, they found themselves in a rented house. Ye Xiao woke up first. His expression was a little grave. The car was gone, the altar was gone. What was worse was that he realized that the time was not right.
It was daytime now. This was a small seventh floor. There was no elevator, and outside was a tall building.
Ye Xiao woke up Gu Ming.
Gu Ming rubbed her eyes. Her expression was a little lost. "Are we going back? "
Ye Xiao said, "No. " He had a bad feeling.
Gu Ming looked at the sunlight outside the window. She was stunned. Then, she took out her phone to check the time. Ye Xiao casually glanced at it and his expression changed.
"Is your phone broken? The year on it is not right. Why is it showing five years later? "
Gu Ming lowered her head to look at her phone and then looked at Ye Xiao. "where's your phone? Take it out and have a look. "
Ye Xiao took out his phone. The time on his phone was very normal. It showed two o'clock in the morning. This meant that they had slept for two hours.
Ye Xiao stood in the same place for a moment, then got up and turned on the only computer in the rented house. After the computer was turned on, Ye Xiao finally saw the year and time displayed on the computer. The number on the computer was the same as the number on Gu Ming's phone, and the time.. It was 11:30 in the afternoon.
Ye Xiao pondered for a moment and then came to a realization. He said, "It seems that the mystic realm has opened. We accidentally came in from the altar. This should be the training ground. After the training ends, we can go back. "
Gu Ming did not know about the training. Although she had lost her memory, her iq was normal.
She asked her own puzzlement, "shouldn't the training ground be a place where there are fewer people? Moreover, I remember that we crashed into the altar. Is there such a big place behind the altar? "
Ye Xiao was expressionless. "generally speaking, the Ye family's training is conducted in four directions, from the east, south, west, and north. They enter through four doors. The things behind the four places are not the same. Some are seawater, some are deserts, some are forests, and some are mountains. I have indeed never heard of such a big city's training. "
This was the first time.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door, followed by a loud voice. "Open the door for me. How long do you want to delay the rent? I'm telling you, if you don't pay the rent this time, move out! "
Ye Xiao and Gu Ming looked at each other.
A piece of news appeared in Gu Ming's mind. The landlady had come to collect the rent.
Gu Ming said, "it's the landlady. She's here to collect the rent. Do you have any money with you? "
Ye Xiao lowered his head and took out his wallet. There was money and a card inside, but the problem was, "I don't know if this money can be used here. "
"OPEN THE DOOR! OPEN THE DOOR! " The knocking sound turned into the knocking sound of the door, and the landlady's voice became louder and louder.
Ye Xiao took the wallet, walked to the door, and opened the door.
The landlady was originally angry, but when she saw Ye Xiao, her eyes lit up, and her voice was not so loud anymore. She sized up Ye Xiao and asked, "who are you? "
Ye Xiao took out the money from his wallet. "How much is the rent? "
The landlady's eyes lit up when she saw the money. "Not much, not much, a thousand yuan. "
Ye Xiao took out a ten-dollar bill from inside and handed it to the landlady. "Is it enough? "
"It's enough, it's enough. " The landlady took the money and grinned from ear to ear. Then, she looked at Gu Ming and said meaningfully, "Gu Ming, you have to take good advantage of such a handsome man. Look, he's handsome and generous. He's willing to spend money for you. Where can you find such a person! "
The landlady knew Gu Ming's name?
Gu Ming made an 'oh' sound.
The landlady saw that Gu Ming was not enlightened Her face was full of disappointment. "It's not that I don't understand you. You don't go to school at such a young age. You always like to read some supernatural books. Tell me, what's so good about setting up a stall on the street and being a fraud You can't earn two yuan, and you're even looked down upon by others. "And you always go out in the middle of the night. If I didn't know your temperament, I might have thought you went to do something shameful. "
Gu Ming rolled her eyes, covered her head and said, "aunt, I bumped my head yesterday. He sent me back. I don't remember what happened in the past. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known that I was a fortune-teller. Aunt, do you know why I didn't go to school? "
The landlady suddenly said, "so that's what happened. Aiya, this young man is really kind. I don't see such a person anymore. " Then, she began to answer Gu Ming's question "Didn't you say that you were raised by a Taoist priest? The Old Taoist priest died two years ago and seems to have left a Taoist temple for you. However, that place is in ruins. Didn't you come out to cultivate a Taoist temple to earn money "I don't know about the rest. Who knows why you didn't go to school? "
The landlady muttered a few words and then left.
She still had to go to other homes to collect rent. It was meal time now and everyone was at home, so it was just in time to collect the rent.
After the landlady left, Ye Xiao closed the door.
Ye Xiao began to analyze slowly. "from what the landlady said just now, it seems that she knows you. In other words, you have an identity here. Ghost hunting, Taoist temple. It seems that this is the direction of the trial. So, we can think that this is your trial. "
This was indeed a trial.
But it was not a trial in the mystical realm, but a trial for the night watchman. The trial in the mystical realm was not mandatory, and the free trial was higher. And the trial of the night watchman usually had two situations. The first was to test whether the person had the qualifications to become a night watchman, and the second was to make the night watchman stronger.
Regardless of whether it was the first or the second, the death rate was very high. In other words, the mission was very difficult.
Ye Xiao knew about the night watchman's trial, but he did not know that his own altar was also the 'door' to the night watchman's trial, so he did not think in this direction.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, the night watchman should have completed the night watchman's trial by himself. Logically speaking, Ye Xiao should not have followed.
Therefore, Ye Xiao would not think that this matter was related to the night watchman.
Gu Ming found the equipment to set up a stall in the rented house. There was a small stool, and then there was a gossip map that she bought for ten yuan. Finally, there was something that looked like a signboard.
That signboard should have been printed out. It looked quite cheap.
Gu Ming looked at these things and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Ye Xiao had already sat by the computer. He was looking at the information in this world.
Di Di.
This was a message from Gu Ming's phone. She took out her phone and looked down. She was surprised to find that she had opened a Taobao shop. Moreover, it sold incense candles and hell coins.
A message from a Taobao buyer: Dear, I'll buy a hundred incense candles and pack some hell coins for me for a thousand yuan. I'll need some big money and some loose money. Oh right, dear, do you pack the mail? "..."
Before Gu Ming could digest the Taobao Shop, she typed a line of words with her fingers as if she was conscious: "Dear, I want to buy the mail. ".
The buyer sent a smiley face and then the address. After that, he placed the order.
Gu Ming searched around the rented house and finally found the joss sticks and ghost coins in another room. There were also red coins, copper coins, and even wreaths for sale.
She was completely dumbfounded.
Was she going to do the Taobao shop business?
Gu Ming turned around and walked out of the House. She found Ye Xiao and told him about this. "Is this opening a trial? " She asked.
Ye Xiao looked at the information on Gu Ming's Taobao. He was silent for a while, then pointed to the address on it. "I remember this place seems to be a cemetery. "
Gu Ming was stunned. "It can't be. It says 112 Wansong road, second to last. "
Ye Xiao turned around and sat in front of the computer. He began to search for the address just now. Soon, he found the answer. The address on it was indeed a cemetery. What was more frightening was that the name of the buyer was the name of a dead person.
He had been dead for a few years.
