Chapter 764 The Year of Gengshen - The Old House in the Woods
The haunted bus from the year of Gengshen was nowhere near as old as it is now, decades later.

Especially since there was a driver present, there was no loss of control at all, and it continued to operate normally, not only sending the vengeful ghosts back to the haunted places, but also taking the ghost-tamer home along the way.

Lin Yuan was going on a long trip, so naturally he would need to take a car.

Ghost taxis remain in reality, but in this era, it's unknown where they are, or even if they've taken shape, since taxis are still a rare commodity.

At least in Da Dong City, Lin Yuan had never seen it.

"Xiao Yang, it's you? Why didn't you go to help your son?"

As Lin Yuan got into the car, he chatted with the driver, Yang Xiaotian. However, after glancing at the situation inside the car, he couldn't help but reveal a strange smile. "Little Yang, are you supplementing your household income?"

Yang Xiaotian glanced at Zhang Youhong and Guo Fan, and after everyone got into the car, he closed the door and stepped on the gas. "There are too many resources to sustain in the future. Others rely on their parents, but I can't rely on my children, can I? Perfect, these wild beasts can also be sent to where they need to be, which can reduce a lot of consumption."

Lin Yuan agreed with this.

For him, the Year of Gengshen was a blue ocean, with fewer vengeful spirits compared to reality, since this era was decades after the supernatural had been suppressed.

Most paranormal events are caused by the resurrection of vengeful spirits after older generations of ghost-controllers dismembered them before their deaths, rather than by a continuous stream of new paranormal events.

Nevertheless, this is still a large amount of resources, and its level of terror is not low.

A ghost can sustain Yang Xiaotian for an hour in the future. This cost-effectiveness is really difficult to achieve. If he doesn't work hard, Yang Xiaotian probably won't be able to support his future activities.

After chatting for a few minutes, Yang Xiaotian shut his mouth and focused on driving.

Lin Yuan didn't pay any attention to it, and after a few stops, he got off the bus with Guo Fan and Zhang Youhong.

Yang Xiaotian kept an eye on the group, and when the five minutes were up, he let the supernatural bus start and drive away on its own, without interfering too much with its direction.

The paranormal bus has always had its own fixed route. The driver's purpose is to use his abilities to guide the paranormal bus back on track when problems arise.

Adjusting the driving route on short notice is a small act of capriciousness on the part of the driver.

The next stop was a detached house in the real world. The supernatural bus drove straight in, ignoring the high wall, and stopped in front of an old man sitting in a rocking chair.

In the year of Gengshen, Qin Lao opened his eyes, looking at Yang Xiaotian who was getting out of the car with a puzzled expression, and then suddenly realized, "He's here?"

Yang Xiaotian asked in surprise, "You foresaw it?"

"No, that's not true. It's just that there's only one person in this era who can influence my ability to foresee the future, and another being from another timeline. The person from this era won't have much interaction with you, so only the person from the other timeline remains. Sometimes, the interference with your power can also prove that something has happened."

Old Qin spoke calmly, saying that just because many things are unseen does not mean they are unknowable.

He was just a little confused. That being should know about his situation, so why was it doing such a futile effort?

Is it because they consider themselves fools, unable to understand such a thing, or is there some other reason, such as this force being passive and unable to shut itself off?
Thinking of this, Old Qin's heart suddenly stirred. He got up and walked towards the supernatural bus. "I'll drive it. Perfect timing. I also need to go and see what's going on there."

"Okay." Yang Xiaotian didn't stop him, but he got into the car as well.

He also wanted to see what was happening in the old house in the woods. If it would affect his son in the future, then he would have to take action.

In just one hour, the eerie bus arrived at the old house in the woods once again.

Yang Xiaotian got off the bus with Old Qin and let the supernatural bus drive away on its own. They then walked onto the forest path on the side of the road and headed towards the old house deep in the woods.

The surroundings were dark, and the forest path made it seem like the dead of night. Only two large red lanterns hanging on the gate of the old house, which was gradually approaching, provided them with light.

This wasn't Yang Xiaotian's first time passing through this place, but it was his first time entering it.

He had asked Old Qin about this place before, but unfortunately, he had not received any answers. Old Qin was very secretive about this place and would not say much about it.

Today, he's going to see what kind of terrifying beings exist here.

We need to see what kind of person Zhang Dong is, who is valued so highly by the "store manager".

The old house's gate was open. Old Qin didn't go in directly, but instead raised his hand and patted the wide-open door heavily until he heard an invitation before leading Yang Xiaotian inside.

Upon entering the lobby, one sees the elderly man sitting in the main seat, Lin Yuan sitting to one side, and Zhang Youhong.

As for Guo Fan?

The driver who came with us has disappeared and we don't know where he went.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Youhong asked, her voice filled with displeasure.

They came here on important business, and when they faced Zhang Dong face to face, it was clear that they had already "entered" the scene and were communicating with Zhang Dong face to face.

She also wanted to see if "He" and Zhang Dong could talk about things that interested her, but the unexpected intrusion of Old Qin and Yang Xiaotian made the gathering a bit strange.

"I had some free time today, and I heard that Boss Lin was here, so I came to pay him a visit. There are some things I'd like to discuss with Boss Lin," Old Qin said calmly, without showing the slightest reverence for Zhang Youhong.

Zhang Youhong frowned, feeling quite displeased.

Just then, a low chuckle rang out. Lin Yuan was smiling calmly, but his smile was very different from usual. This made Yang Xiaotian sense something, and his long-dormant heart suddenly jumped, and he became excited.

Could it be...

"So you're here to see Boss Lin. Well then, you can have a chat."

Lin Yuan spoke calmly, and as his words fell, a phantom figure emerged from his body.

The figure was dreamlike and illusory, composed entirely of white mist. After it entered reality, it quickly solidified and soon became... a second Lin Yuan!

No, this isn't Lin Yuan, it's the "store manager"!
