Half an hour later, Mother Wang had already cleared away the food on the table, leaving only some of Wang Ling's favorite dishes in lunch boxes in the kitchen. After the old man chatted with Father Wang and Classmate Lei Mouren for a while longer, the two of them went upstairs. Father Wang had to rush out his draft, while the old man was getting on in years and couldn't stand being sleepy. Especially after eating, he always felt mentally sluggish.
Since his retirement, Old Man Wang had rarely had the chance to meet cultivators. Old Man Wang had always been very curious about this group of people. He had often heard people say that a cultivator's epiphany was often just a sliver of luck away, and that advancing to a higher realm was often just a sliver of comprehension of intent … But Old Man Wang had never expected that a plate of broccoli and a bowl of tomato egg soup he had fried would actually have the same effect!
Before he left, Old Man Wang saw Classmate Lei Mouren's bewildered expression, so he patted him on the shoulder three times. The old man was an experienced man. When he had been a head chef, he had heard a lot of stories about cultivators' cultivation, and many of them had been about cultivators who, in the process of comprehending intent or comprehending the Heavenly Dao, had accidentally gone berserk, and in the end lost their cultivation …
Old Man Wang patted Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's shoulder three times, intending to remind Classmate Lei Mouren not to be too conflicted, lest he set himself on fire …
In the end, it was as if Lei Mouren had been electrocuted, and he sprang to his feet. "Thank you, great senior, for your guidance! This junior will definitely come at the third watch to show you the right path! "
Old Man Wang: "…"
Loopy Toad: "…" Show you the right path?! This person wasn't Patriarch Subhuti!
When Wang Ling got home, he saw a man in white with his arms crossed and his head lowered, staring solemnly at a piece of broccoli and a bowl of tomato egg soup that had already gone completely cold, lost in thought.
Loopy Toad told Wang Ling that the man had been in this position for a full hour …
Father Wang and the old man had already gone upstairs, leaving Mother Wang alone to keep Lei Mouren company. During this time, Lei Mouren's gaze had been fixed on the broccoli and tomato egg soup without saying anything, which made Mother Wang feel uncomfortable all over.
Seeing that Wang Ling had finally returned home, Mother Wang looked as if she had grasped at a life-saving straw. "Ling Ling, do you think Little Lei is depressed?"
Wang Ling stared at the man in silence. "…"
It was obvious … that he was having an epileptic seizure!
Then, without saying anything else, he grabbed Student Lei Mouren's collar and directly dragged him upstairs.
Seeing that Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had been dragged upstairs, Mother Wang was actually secretly relieved, and started to clear away the leftovers on the table.
When Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal was dragged up the stairs, he watched helplessly as Mother Wang poured the tomato egg soup into the sink, and he immediately screamed, "No! My tomato egg soup! You died so miserably! "
"Brother Ling! I think my tomato egg soup can still be saved … As long as you set off with me now, before the tomato egg soup flows into the Frozen Sea, we will be able to intercept it at the sewage transfer station! "
Wang Ling: "…"
"Fine, Brother Ling … I know it's a little exaggerated. But at the very least, please leave the broccoli that Great Senior gave me … I want to make it into a specimen and keep it! "
Wang Ling: "…"
…
…
Although it had been a long time since he had seen Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal, Wang Ling felt that this man's character really was the same as before, and hadn't changed at all. If he had to describe it in one sentence, it would be that he was a little neurotic.
In his bedroom, Wang Ling took out a square sandalwood box from under his bed. This was the box he had used to store the old Dao talisman seals, and together with the one he had replaced not long ago, there were exactly five of them in the box.
Although the power of the seal had been greatly reduced for Wang Ling, the talisman seals were still effective. When Wang Ling put the stone ghost mask together with the talisman seals, the power of the stone ghost mask's own curse could be restrained to a certain extent.
"Is this the stone ghost mask?" When Wang Ling took the stone ghost mask out of the box, the man in white next to him had a surprised expression on his face.
The rumored stone ghost mask was even older than he had imagined. The mysterious eyes on the mask, the cold and sinister inverted hooks, and the faded colors that indicated the stone ghost mask's age … If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to see so many details just by looking at the pictures of the real thing on the internet.
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal stared at the mask for a long time before he suddenly realized a frightening problem, and he abruptly turned to look at Wang Ling. "Brother Ling, have you tried wearing it …"
Wang Ling nodded his head truthfully, and then explained telepathically that he hadn't felt much after putting on the mask, so he had taken it off.
"… Brother Ling, are you saying that you took it off?!"
The man in white thought of something and suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. "… Based on this stone ghost mask, combined with the information I've gathered from my investigations over the years, I can basically confirm that this mask is genuine. But just now, I noticed a problem, and I felt that the hooks on both sides of the stone ghost mask were a little crooked … I thought it was a fake or a flaw in the workmanship, but according to Brother Ling's explanation … "
What did he mean?
Wang Ling looked at the man in bewilderment.
"Simply put, when Brother Ling tried wearing the stone ghost mask the last time, it actually showed signs of possession. The stone ghost mask had in fact already reacted to possession. Furthermore, according to the information, the process of possession was to pierce the hooks into the skin of the face … "
"…"
"But it's very obvious that this stone ghost mask failed …"
"…"
Speaking up to this point, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal couldn't help sighing. "Brother Ling's skin is so thick … I really can't catch up!"
"…" Motherf * cker!
"In any case, leaving this stone ghost mask with Brother Ling is also a big problem. How about you give it to me? Brother, I will definitely get rid of this mask, "Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal promised as he patted his chest.
Listening to the man's words, Wang Ling was lost in thought for a short while. Compared with a shady organization like Landscape Manor, Wang Ling would of course rather trust this brother of his whose immortal affinity was as high as seventy percent. But nowadays, everything was about making a deal … Wang Ling felt that he couldn't lose out.
After a moment of silence, the man in white received Wang Ling's telepathic message, and an astonished expression appeared on his face. "What? Meeting? Brother Ling, are you saying that as long as I attend a meeting on your behalf, you'll give me the mask? "
Wang Ling nodded solemnly.
"Brother Ling, you're too polite … Even if I don't use the stone ghost mask as a condition, I'll definitely attend the meeting! As long as Brother Ling says the word, I'll definitely attend! By the way … Brother Ling still hasn't said what the meeting is about? "
Wang Ling smiled slightly, and then stuffed a notice for the parent-teacher meeting at No. 60 High School into the man's hand.
