The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 81 Not Completely Crazy

Gu Qingyin sat down and ate while browsing her phone. Then she saw the message Huo Xingye sent her. She was moved and looked up at the person opposite her, "You want to go out with me?"

"Yeah." Huo Xingchen responded reluctantly, "Big brother asked me to go."

Gu Qingyin sneered: "You are so old, but you don't have any opinion at all. You just go when someone asks you to go. He is only a few minutes older than you?"

Huo Xingchen paused, "What do you mean?"

Gu Qingyin said seriously: "If you don't want to go, you don't have to go."

Huo Xingchen stiffened his neck and said, "...I didn't say I didn't want to go."

"Oh." Gu Qingyin's tone was calm but full of sarcasm, "If you want to go, don't blame your brother."

Huo Xingchen: ...She absolutely cannot be my mother!

After eating and cleaning up, the three people and the monkey went out.

"Where are you going?" Huo Xingchen asked after getting in the car.

Gu Qingyin looked at Liu Ergou.

Liu Ergou took out his cell phone and said, "Let me check where the entrance to Yuncheng is."

Entrance? Huo Xingchen was a little confused. What entrance?
Gu Qingyin understood, as she had been to Xuanxie several times before and had some understanding of it.

"The place we are going to is called the Xuanshu Association, or Xuanxie for short. You can understand it as an official organization that manages the Heavenly Masters, responsible for the Heavenly Master grading exams and the assignment of tasks..." At this point, Gu Qingyin's eyes were confused for a second, and he added: "Wait."

Huo Xingchen was listening seriously and almost went crazy when he heard it. You can’t remember it!
Gu Qingyin ignored it and continued, "Xuanxie does not exist in this dimension. It exists in another small dimension outside this world, but all major cities have built entrances and exits to Xuanxie."

Huo Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he uttered a word from the bottom of his heart: "Cool!"

Gu Qingyin glanced at him. Compared with his two brothers, this child was indeed a little childish, and gave people a very immature feeling.

"Twenty years ago, the entrance to the Xuanxie in Yuncheng was in an old alley in the old city. I don't know if it has been changed now."

"It has changed." Liu Ergou looked strange, "It has changed to the City God Temple."

Gu Qingyin was startled, with a lot of questions in her head, "Which City God Temple?"

"It's what you think it is."

Gu Qingyin's eyes widened, "Isn't that a scenic spot? Are the people from Xuanxie crazy?!" Performing a magic trick in broad daylight, are they trying to add popularity to the scenic spot?
Imagine that a tourist is looking at the scenery, and suddenly finds that the person in front of him is gone! Then he rubs his eyes, and suddenly a few strangers appear, and they may even grin at you.

Oh my god, seeing a ghost in broad daylight, so exciting!

"I'm not completely crazy." Liu Ergou said: "The opening hours of Xuanxie are staggered with those of the scenic area."

Gu Qingyin's expression was blank. "What do you mean?"

"It means that they only open at night."

After Liu Ergou finished speaking, the three people in the car fell silent.

"It's not even noon yet." Huo Xingchen's expression was hard to describe. "Did we come out too early?"

Gu Qingyin sighed, "Since we're here, let's go visit the City God Temple. Twenty years have passed, and I don't know if there have been any changes."

There are changes, but not much.

The temple is still the same temple, but it has been obviously renovated and looks much brighter. There are also many new things added outside, such as the wishing pond, lotus pond, brush washing pond...

Gu Qingyin looked along the way and suddenly realized, "This is a pond, right? But it's divided into several sections... Wow, they really know how to make money."

Huo Xingchen nodded in agreement.

Liu Ergou was speechless. When it comes to making money, who can be better than your son? In addition to the scenic spots, the biggest changes are the stalls. Various food, drinks and souvenirs almost fill both sides of the aisle.

It was so exaggerated that even Huo Xingchen was shocked. "Is this still the City God Temple? It's almost become a pedestrian street!"

But Gu Qingyin accepted this very well. She wanted to buy everything she saw and asked "What is this?" from time to time.

Liu Ergou, an old man who has lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years, has no idea about these things and looks confused when asked.

Gu Qingyin pushed the person aside with disgust and only asked Huo Xingchen.

At first, Huo Xingchen was arrogant and responded very coldly. Later, when he saw something that interested him, he didn't even need to ask and talked for ten minutes without stopping.

Time flies by quickly as we shop and eat.

During the trip, Liu Ergou was mistaken for a Taoist priest from the City God Temple and was dragged to take many photos. He tried to explain at first, but was moved by a tourist's price of 50 yuan per photo, and then he took many private orders.

Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingchen were sitting in the coffee shop next to them, watching Liu Ergou taking orders and making a thousand yuan in an hour!

The scenic area closes at six in the evening. Before the time is up, the loudspeaker starts broadcasting reminders in a loop, and security guards start patrolling various places, reminding tourists to go to the exit as quickly as possible and not to linger.

Everyone was walking out, except Gu Qingyin and the other two, who were walking inside against the flow of people. When asked by the security guard, they said they were going back to look for something and would leave immediately.

Until we arrived at the main temple of the City God Temple - yes, the tourist attraction has been expanded. With the original City God Temple as the center, a large circle of commercial streets and recreational areas have been expanded around it. Commercial activities are not allowed in a proper temple.

"Where is the entrance?" Gu Qingyin was tired after a day of shopping and now just wanted to finish her work and go home to sleep.

Maomao lay on Gu Qingyin's shoulder and chirped weakly.

Huo Xingchen lowered his eyes and looked at it. "What's wrong with it? It was chirping for food just now, why is it so listless now?" He frowned and asked worriedly, "Did it eat too much?"

Gu Qingyin rolled her eyes in annoyance, "I just drank too much rice wine from the rice wine meatball stall."

Huo Xingchen: ...

This afternoon, Maomao took advantage of his small size to steal a lot of food.

At first, Gu Qingyin was afraid that it would damage its body by eating the food from the world of the living. Later, she found that this little thing's stomach was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much food was put in, there was no change. There was nothing abnormal with its body, so she just left it alone.

Now Maomao became even more rampant and would try anything he interested in.

Gu Qingyin felt embarrassed and could only follow it to pay the bill, but she could not catch up with Maomao's speed of stealing food.

If she had known that a sip of rice wine could calm it down, she should have gone to buy some rice wine meatballs!
"We're here." Liu Ergou compared the pictures on his phone and nodded repeatedly, "This is it."

Gu Qingyin looked up and saw a wall with an abstract painting of the God of Loyalty and Wealth on it.

Why is it called an abstract painting? Because it shouldn’t look like this normally.

Looking at the green-faced and fang-toothed deity, which god is so scary?

Liu Ergou took out something like a waist badge from his Taoist robe. It was black and had uneven surfaces, as if some patterns were engraved on it.

Huo Xingchen took a glance, but before he could see clearly, Liu Ergou pressed the badge against the wall.

The faint light on the wall flashed away so quickly that it seemed like an illusion.

"You can go in."

Liu Ergou put away his badge and looked at Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingchen with a smile, "You go first, I'll go in last and I have to close the door."

Just as Gu Qingyin was about to take a step, Huo Xingchen grabbed her and said, "Are you sure he didn't trick us into banging our heads against the wall?!"
