After his discussion with Father Wang, Wang Ling had a profound understanding of the threat posed by Landscape Manor. Such a giant group had actually set its sights on the Wang family. Whether or not Landscape Manor would ultimately get what it wanted, it probably wouldn't end well.
At the moment, Wang Ling actually had a very limited grasp of the situation. Although he had learned from Father Wang that Landscape Manor had an antique business as a sideline, he had only scratched the surface.
Secondly, there was the rumor that the stone ghost mask was cursed from the seller. If the rumor was true, then this stone ghost mask should be an existence that people avoided like snakes and scorpions. No one would be stupid enough to spend such a huge sum of money on a cursed mask and invite disaster upon themselves.
From this, it could be seen that there was most likely a problem with this mask. But the strangest thing was that Wang Ling actually hadn't noticed it at all!
At dinner, Wang Ling ate his rice absentmindedly as he kept recalling what Father Wang had said to him earlier … Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the mask? Don't tell me you can't make a mistake yourself? Or have you ever thought that ordinary methods can't detect anything special about this mask?
Father Wang's three questions reminded Wang Ling once again. In some sense, Wang Ling felt that his existence was like a cheat in the world, and it could even be said that he was almost omnipotent. But in the end, humans weren't saints, and there would always be some deviations.
Wang Ling might be invincible in terms of realm, but when it came to temperament and cultivation experience, he felt that he couldn't compare with those old cultivators who had relied on their own hard work to reach their realms.
One had to learn to be humble.
This was what Father and Mother Wang had taught him since he was a child.
While eating, Wang Ling kept thinking about the stone ghost mask and Landscape Manor, so much so that he looked a little absent-minded. Wang Ling wasn't paying attention, and a ball of rice in his bowl fell onto the table.
Mother Wang looked at it, frowned, and said, "Why does Ling Ling look so absent-minded while eating today?"
The old man stared at his grandson and said with some heartache, "Is the food not to your taste? Do you want to … open a bag of crispy noodle snacks? "
The corners of Father Wang's mouth turned up slightly as he smiled. "You two eat, don't mind him. I talked to him earlier, and he's probably thinking about something. At Ling Ling's realm, it's fine even if he doesn't eat every day. "
Speaking up to this point, he suddenly thought of something. With a smack, he directly put down his bowl and chopsticks and hurried upstairs.
Seeing Wang Ling go upstairs, Loopy Toad hurriedly got up from the ground and rushed up after him.
The old man looked at Loopy Toad. "This dog isn't bad. Apart from its slightly chubby face, it doesn't have much flab. It looked quite powerful. I just don't know if it's useful or not. Can it scare the bad guys away when you're guarding the door? " The old man remembered that there was a popular breed among young people these days called the God Annoying Dog. The old man always felt that it was cheap and festive, and could not scare people at all.
"This dog was under Ling Ling's control not long ago; it was a demon king in its previous life. Now he's out of trouble. "
"Oh … Demon King! That's great! What a deterrent! And this dog … I feel like it's a little familiar. It reminds me of many things. "
"Dad, you've seen Loopy Toad before?" Father and Mother Wang were startled.
"That's not it." The old man took a sip of the white wine, shook his head, and said, "When I was young, I just became a chef. I fell in love with a girl. That girl was still teaching, a teacher training major. In the end, she found a boyfriend before I could confess my feelings. Later, I heard that the boyfriend she found was dating twenty-three other women at the same time. "
Father and Mother Wang took deep breaths. "…"
How … could they handle it?
The old man sighed. "That man was too much of a scumbag. If that girl hadn't been so impatient back then, maybe she would have met me. I wanted to marry her back then, but fortunately, I met your mother. But fortunately, I met your mother. Your mother is very virtuous. Otherwise, I would have wanted to chase after her. If that had been the case, you wouldn't be here. "
Hearing this, Father Wang wanted to cry but had no tears. "… Dad, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
Usually, when the old man came over, Father and Mother Wang were very careful not to mention Grandma Wang Ling; they didn't even dare say her name. They were afraid that the old man would be sad and suffer from dementia. In the end, the old man had unexpectedly brought it up himself at dinner today, which made Father Wang feel a little strange.
Hearing Father Wang's question, the old man paused slightly before saying, "Mm, it's nothing. I just saw that the dog's fur was pretty green. I suddenly felt that the girl I used to like was also pretty green … "
Father and Mother Wang: "…"
…
…
Returning to his room, Wang Ling picked up the stone ghost mask on the table again and carefully examined it. Unlike the previous simple test, Wang Ling opened his Heavenly Eye this time. If there was something wrong with this stone ghost mask, Wang Ling believed that the Heavenly Eye's ability to separate the false from the true would expose its true nature.
Unfortunately, after staring at it for a long time, the mask still didn't budge.
But this time, the Heavenly Eye's verification told Wang Ling two things.
The first was that, judging from the material alone, this was indeed just a very hard mask made of primordial black crystal. The Heavenly Eye's ability to separate the false from the true was to see through the nature of the real world. If the mask had been tampered with, there was no way he wouldn't be able to tell. But the problem was that this stone ghost mask indeed wasn't as simple as it seemed.
After Wang Ling repeatedly confirmed it with the Heavenly Eye …
Then, there was only one truth that Wang Ling could think of …
This stone ghost mask was a twin, and there were two of them in total. One had been circulated outside as a disguise, while the other, which had truly been cursed and had been tampered with, had been secretly hidden somewhere else.
Simply put, one was in the light, while the other was in the dark.
If it was a twin stone ghost mask, once one had been tampered with, the other would also be cursed. If this was the case, the Heavenly Eye wouldn't be able to detect any problems.
This was a speculation that Wang Ling had come up with while eating just now, and a detail that he hadn't thought of before.
So the question now was: where on earth was the other cursed stone ghost mask now?
Under normal circumstances, Wang Ling could definitely use the Heavenly Eye to track down the stone ghost mask's whereabouts. Twin magic treasures weren't uncommon these days. Feather Lin's mother and child swords, for example, could in fact be considered a type of twin magic treasure. Once one sword was lost, Wang Ling could theoretically use the Heavenly Eye to track down the whereabouts of the other sword.
But now, his Heavenly Eye actually didn't react at all?!
This was very strange …
But this just happened to tell Wang Ling the second thing.
