The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 68

Ch 68: I’m Just Confident

After thinking it over, Gu Qingyin still couldn’t come up with any good ideas. She clicked her tongue in annoyance and simply gave up.

“Go this way.”

Most people followed in silence, but the cameraman insisted on asking, “Why?”

Gu Qingyin tugged at her lips and casually made something up, “There are traces of trampling on the ground.”

The cameraman looked down, but all he saw were branches and leaves. He couldn’t see any difference at all. He pondered for a few seconds and exclaimed, “Master Gu is indeed experienced. I didn’t see anything.”

Gu Qingyin raised her chin, without any guilt, “That’s right, you don’t need to bring your brain when you’re with me.”

The cameraman nodded in deep agreement.

Huo Xinghai: …He doesn’t look that young, how can he be so easily fooled?

Shan Zhu, on the other hand, looked at Gu Qingyin thoughtfully, wondering if she really knew the way. If they followed her, would they be able to return?

After getting lost, Lin Xiaoyun kept wandering around, trying to find an exit.

Of course, Gu Qingyin wouldn’t follow her on a bunch of unnecessary detours. She chose almost a straight route, no matter how difficult the road was, at least the journey was the shortest.

After that, everyone didn’t talk much, just trudged along silently, occasionally responding to inquiries from the production crew.

But at some point, the walkie-talkie went silent. When they reacted, all communications were cut off.

Gu Qingyin wasn’t too surprised. First, the location was remote, and the signal wasn’t very strong to begin with. Second, the closer they got to the barrier, the greater the impact on the magnetic field. Things like walkie-talkies would inevitably malfunction.

“Did we mark the route we took?” Shan Zhu suddenly asked.

Gu Qingyin, who was leading the way, paused and turned to look at her, “No need, I know how to get back.”

A trace of disapproval flashed in Shan Zhu’s eyes, “You’re too arrogant.”

Gu Qingyin found it amusing, but still patiently corrected her, “It’s not arrogance, I’m just confident.” Without waiting for Shan Zhu to say anything else, she added, “Actually, I didn’t plan to bring you here. The director insisted on squeezing you in. If you don’t want to come, you can go back, but be careful not to get lost. I won’t waste time looking for you again.”

This “you” naturally included Tian Gang and Huo Zhaohua, in addition to Shan Zhu.

Shan Zhu pursed her lips, her face expressionless, but you could still feel her displeasure.

“I believe you.” Huo Zhaohua finally spoke, his tone cold but firm.

Tian Gang also said, “You were able to get out last time, you can definitely do it this time!” He looked at Shan Zhu and advised, “Doctor Shan, we have to believe in Teacher Gu.”

Shan Zhu was even more unhappy. What kind of teacher was Gu Qingyin?

Forget it, I’ve said all I need to say. Listen or don’t listen, there are so many people from the production crew outside anyway, there won’t be too much danger.

Gu Qingyin glanced at Shan Zhu with a faint gaze and continued forward. Actually, she quite understood Shan Zhu. The way she had been walking, she really didn’t seem like someone with wilderness survival experience. It was normal to be questioned.

Among these few people, besides Huo Xinghai who knew the inside story, Shan Zhu was the only smart one.

Rare indeed.

After walking for a few minutes, Gu Qingyin led everyone to the outside of the barrier and frowned, stopping.

Lin Xiaoyun’s location was actually inside the barrier.

This really exceeded her expectations. How did Lin Xiaoyun, an ordinary person, get inside the barrier?

As soon as this thought appeared, Gu Qingyin realized ━ the cracks in the barrier.

No way, Gu Qingyin was speechless. How unlucky was Lin Xiaoyun? The cracks in the barrier were so small, and she managed to squeeze in?!

With a sigh, Gu Qingyin began to worry.

The situation inside the barrier was unclear. The things on the surface were already scary enough, and she had all ordinary people behind her! Wouldn’t they be scared out of their wits if they went in?

But Lin Xiaoyun and her cameraman were already inside. If they didn’t find them as soon as possible, next year would be their death anniversary.

“Why aren’t you moving?” Tian Gang asked in confusion, “Can’t find the direction?”

Gu Qingyin turned her head and swept her gaze over the few people, asking, “Are you guys brave? The place we’re entering next will be a bit terrifying for normal people.”

Huo Xinghai’s heart tightened. He subconsciously looked behind Gu Qingyin. It was a scene he was already familiar with, but at this moment, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Huo Zhaohua’s reaction was also quick. He stepped forward and asked, “My mom, did she go to that place you mentioned?”

Gu Qingyin nodded.

Huo Zhaohua pursed his thin lips, “I want to go in.”

“What place?” Shan Zhu’s eyebrows were filled with impatience, “Besides trees, there are only trees here. Everything looks the same. Where is the place you’re talking about?”

Gu Qingyin answered irrelevantly, “Those who are timid better stay where they are. If you faint from fright, I won’t be responsible for bringing you out.”

Shan Zhu, who was ignored, took a deep breath and stopped talking.

After two seconds, seeing that no one said they wanted to stay, Gu Qingyin clicked her tongue and took out a few talismans from her satchel, handing them out one by one, “Take these, and be careful not to drop them.”

When Tian Gang and Huo Zhaohua took them, they didn’t say anything. Only the latter had a hint of surprise in his eyes. Were these talismans real? Could Gu Qingyin really be a Taoist Master?

Shan Zhu didn’t want to take it at first, coldly spitting out four words, “Feudal superstition.”

Gu Qingyin wasn’t annoyed, calmly saying, “If you don’t want to take it, stay here.”

Shan Zhu stared at her for a few seconds, but in the end, she still took the talisman, but her eyes and movements showed a bit of disdain.

Gu Qingyin chuckled to herself, thinking, do you know how much I can sell this talisman for? Just be happy that I’m giving it to you for free.

As for Huo Xinghai, Gu Qingyin didn’t give him one. He had a jade pendant on him, so he didn’t need other talismans.

“Let’s go in.”

Gu Qingyin was still in the lead. She walked forward about two meters, making finger gestures as she walked.

The barrier opened in an instant, and a rotten smell, accompanied by a cold aura, poured out.

Everyone felt it.

Out of human instinct, they couldn’t help but stop. Although they didn’t know what was inside, their intuition told them it was dangerous, and they should stay away!!

“Last chance, those who are afraid can stay.” Gu Qingyin said again.

Still no one spoke. Gu Qingyin didn’t waste any more words, taking the lead to enter the barrier. Huo Xinghai followed closely behind, then Huo Zhaohua, Shan Zhu, and Tian Gang.

As soon as Huo Xinghai went in, his face turned pale.

What met his eyes was a ground full of bones, comparable to a mass grave. How could there be such a place on the island?! He was surprised and uncertain, but he didn’t ask. Instead, he brought up another matter.

“Mom!” Huo Xinghai leaned close to Gu Qingyin and asked in a low voice, “Is it really okay to let ordinary people in?”

Gu Qingyin was observing and calculating, trying to determine Lin Xiaoyun’s location. Hearing this, she casually said, “It’s okay, we’ll just erase their memories when we get out.”

Huo Xinghai was shocked, “You can do that?”

“Otherwise, why do you think Taoist Masters have never been exposed?” Gu Qingyin chuckled, “Most ordinary people who have seen Taoist Masters have their memories erased or altered. Some clients aren’t even allowed to keep their memories.”
