CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 33: SANG QUE’S DIARY

[August 8, Thursday, Sunny, On the plane to Dayue Mountain]

I decided to start keeping a diary, just in case I encounter something strange like Liu Family’s third son did.

For now, I’ll use an ordinary pen to write; I’ve already ordered vermillion ink online.

After returning from Xujiawan Village yesterday, I told my mother about the things I encountered and everything Grandma Shufen said.

My mom suddenly asked if I had considered reporting the Yansheng coin incident to the authorities. Actually, I have, but not right now.

I need to figure out some things first, to give myself the power and negotiation leverage in both the Mysterious World and the modern world before laying it all out.

I don’t want to be meat on someone else’s chopping block, nor become a test subject, and I certainly don’t want my mother to become a pawn to coerce me.

My mom said she respects my decision and will support whatever I choose to do. I know she didn’t really mean it; she’s still very worried about my safety.

So, for her sake, I bought a ticket to Huaxia Taoist Holy Land’s Dayue Mountain, to pay my respects to Emperor Zhenwu and other righteous deities.

Zaozi has already posted the video. After a few days of fermentation, I’ll check the Nine Netherworld to see if the Heart Lamp has strengthened. If this method works, it will solve my immediate crisis.

But if I have to make videos and become an online persona, it will really waste my time for practice, ugh~

[August 9, Friday, Sunny, On the plane home]

Paid my respects to Emperor Zhenwu and even ’requested’ a top fortune stick.

Amusingly, when I sincerely knelt in worship, a little Daoist sweeping next to me mumbled, "What’s the use of praying? When something happens, you’re still on your own. So young and still believes in this."

Even more amusing, when I was drawing lots, at first I got a not-so-great one, and my heart sank at that moment.

The Daoist interpreting the lot looked at me, took the lot from my hand, broke it, and then handed me another top lot, saying he would change my destiny.

I didn’t even ask any questions, and the Daoist told me the placement of the desk in my bedroom was wrong, and the color of the curtains was also off, affecting my Wenquxing luck.

He advised me to change the orientation of my desk when I got back, switch to pale, translucent curtains, and go to the park every morning and evening to absorb the morning sunlight’s purple energy and the evening glow’s golden light to open my intelligence.

Perhaps there are too many high school students nowadays suffering from depression from studying, and the Daoist wanted to comfort me. The underlying message of his words was that it’s not my fault if I don’t study well, to put my mind at ease, get more sun, and relax my mind by going out in the morning and evening to exercise.

After chatting with the Daoist, I felt that their mental state was excellent. On the way here, I occasionally saw some dirty things, but the mountain was very clean, with no ghosts or gods.

Although it didn’t solve my problem, this place is really nice. It wouldn’t be bad to get into a Taoist college in the future.

There is one thing I need to note down.

Last night I stayed in a hotel, and because I was so tired from climbing the mountain, I fell asleep groggy. This morning when I woke up, I found my phone still playing a dismemberment video!

But I can’t remember when I opened my phone and searched for such a video.

The ’Kun Trigram’ in the Yansheng coin mark is fading. Could it be that the Yin Child gained strength from the severed hand, and the Yansheng coin can no longer suppress it?

Kill them!

Kill them!

Kill them!

Kill them!

(Chaotic blood characters)

[August 10, Saturday, Early morning at home]

I’ve been possessed; my arm has cuts, and there is blood everywhere in the room, with my diary filled with complex blood characters.

Thankfully, I was cautious and locked my bedroom door before sleeping last night.

The strength of Yin Tong Gui Chou is indeed increasing, and I’ve clearly felt my desire to dismember bodies grow stronger.

...

Only got less than three hours of sleep last night. I went for a full medical check-up this morning; the results aren’t out yet.

Mom is still worried that the possession by evil spirits and crossing over might harm my body. I promised her I wouldn’t act rashly for now, and will decide on the next step once the video accumulates fans.

In the afternoon, Zaozi came to my house to deliver dogs. Upon seeing my darker skin and newly cut bangs, she was startled and said she still preferred my fair skin and clear forehead, insisting on dragging me to scrub my skin to save my intentionally tanned skin.

Though Zaozi is always loud and talkative, she’s very reliable when it comes to business. Not finding the Five Black Dogs in Yu City, she specially went somewhere else to look for them.

The backs of the two Five Black Dog pups she brought back are rusty red under the sun, top-grade Five Black Dogs that only the Royal Family can keep in the Mysterious World.
