Ye Shaoyang peered at the rearview mirror and saw that Xiao Ma was using his phone . Xiao Ma’s face was filled with joy . As such, Ye Shaoyang guessed that he was chatting with Wang Ping . He turned around and asked, “Weren’t you with her just now? How do you have so much to talk about?”
“Ah?” Xiao Ma paused for a while . He quickly refuted, “What’re you talking about? I slept alone in my room last night . ”
Ye Shaoyang smiled evilly and stopped making fun of him . He pulled out a map and gave it a look, “Xiaohui told me last night that she has checked the temple . She said that Madam Chee was not there . That’s why we think she can only be at the last formation . ”
Xiao Ma quickly chipped in, “How come? Madam Chee definitely showed herself there . And, you said it yourself, the Formation of Five Elements traps her there . ”
Ye Shaoyang looked at him and said, “Five Spirit Moving Mountain Formation, why is it called a moving mountain formation?”
Xiao Ma paused, as he did not know the answer .
“Moving mountain describes the ability of the formation to move about . The formation of the five spirits can move between one another . If I’m not wrong, the seal and Madam Chee have been completely moved to the last formation . What we saw last time was only a remnant of her consciousness . She was trying to trick us . ”
Xiao Ma’s eyes widened open, and he asked, “Then how do explain the killing we witnessed?”
“Her spirit servant did that . Again, she did it to trick us . Last night, Xiaohui and I discussed her findings, and this was our conclusion . ”
Old Guo added, “How did she get this information?”
“I don’t know, but her words seem believable; this also seems to explain the puzzle . For example, after Manager Zhang and that overseer died, nothing happened to us when we were there . If Madam Chee was present, she could have gravely injured us . However, we left there unscathed, which puzzled me . If she wasn’t there in the first place, that would explain what happened . ”
“Her spirit servant is really smart, eh? It made such a great switch . ” Xiao Ma shook his head and sighed, “But why did they do this?”
Ye Shaoyang shrugged and said, “I don’t know . ”
“What?” Xiao Ma and Old Guo exclaimed in unison .
“I really don’t know . However, I think we can find all the answers when we reach and investigate this last formation . ”
Ye Shaoyang looked out the window and saw that the scenery had changed . He did not know where they were, but he was certain that Old Guo knew the way since he had come here before .
They drove on a paved road halfway up the mountain . Then, Old Guo stopped beside the road and said, “The cemetery is not far from here, so I think it’s a good idea to drive there . Let’s sneak up . ”
As such, the three of them slowly walked up the nicely paved road .
Xiao Ma looked around, as he walked and asked, “That’s strange; this place is in the middle of nowhere, but there is such a nice road… . ”
“This road leads to the cemetery of the Ma Family, so this road must be because of them . It is probably used to bring building materials up,” Old Guo explained .
“Wealthy people . They built a road because they wanted to build a cemetery!”
Old Guo let out a humph and said, “That’s not ridiculous though . If I was that wealthy, I would use a helicopter to carry the materials up the hill . ”
Xiao Ma replied, “That’s ridiculous; how long would that take?”
“I wouldn’t care if I had the wealth . ”
Xiao Ma rolled his eyes and said, “That’s just being stupid . ”
They followed Old Guo and walked about three hundred meters . After that, they reached a flat area that was the size of three football fields . The whole area was furnished with square bricks . A little hill sat at a corner of the mountaintop, with a courtyard nearby . The courtyard had white walls and a green roof .
The courtyard had an arched doorway . The area above the arched doorway was plain, without any markings or words on it . The walls extended from the doorway to each side like a fan . It extended out until it connected with the small hill, forming a castle of sorts .
In front of the arched doorway was a metal fence that blocked off the doorway . Besides the metal fence was a small booth; a few people were inside .
Ye Shaoyang scratched his head and told Old Guo, “Senior brother, take out the masks . ”
Xiao Ma paused and asked cowardly, “We’re going to put on the masks here?”
Old Guo answered, “Well, there are cameras ahead, so we have to cover up . ” Then, Old Guo pulled out three masks from his bag . They were Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, and Zhu Bajie . Old Guo put on the Sha Wuking mask, while Ye Shaoyang quickly snatched away the Sun Wukong mask . Then, he pointed at the Zhu Bajie mask and told Xiao Ma, “Wear that, that’s for you . ”
The three of them got ready, and Old Guo waved his hand, “You two go . I’ll keep watch . ”
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, “This place is so empty, there’s nothing to watch out for . Come on, just come with us . When we’re done with this matter, we’ll split the money . ”
Behind the mask, Old Guo rolled his eyes . Then he said, “This sounds more and more like a heist . ”
Xiao Ma pulled him and said, “Come on, if we get caught, the three of us can chat in jail . ”
“What kind of thinking is that?” Old Guo replied angrily . However, Xiao Ma was still able to pull him over .
They approached the security booth and saw two men . These men sat on chairs and seemed to be having hotpot . A screen hung on the wall . Ye Shaoyang saw a car behind the security booth, so he guessed that was how they went out to buy stuff .
“How could these two guys guard this kind of place?” Xiao Ma said in a low voice .
“With a salary of twenty thousand a month, you’d probably stay here too,” Old Guo said .
They looked through the arched doorway into the courtyard and saw a small road with cypress planted on both sides . At the end of the path was an opening in the small hill .
Ye Shaoyang looked left and right . Then he gave the other two a look . Next, they swiftly moved close to the wall and Old Guo said, “Behind that opening is a tunnel that leads to an empty field, that’s where the sakuras are . ”
Ye Shaoyang asked, “How do you know this when you haven’t gone in?”
“I climbed onto a higher place and was able to see the layout of the area . I wasn’t able to get in through there though . Do you want me to bring you there instead?” Old Guo asked .
“Forget about it; we’ll just climb over the wall . ” Then, Ye Shaoyang muttered, “I saw a monitor in the booth just now, that’s probably the security footage?”
