Tomb raiding: Scientists dissect the Queen Mother of the West

At the city gate of Changsha.

Qi Mo raised his head and looked at the tall city wall, feeling that it had a somewhat retro feel to it.

"This city wall really has a sense of history!"

He couldn't help but sigh.

People around looked this way.

Ignoring the stares of those around him, he patted the mutated camel's rump.

The mutated camel strode into the city with an arrogant, indifferent gait.

No one stopped him, since the soldiers had already checked Qi Mo and confirmed that he was fine.

At this moment, he was heading towards Master Qi's location.

After a simple explanation from the system, Qi Mo realized that Eighth Master Qi was the easiest to control among the Nine Gates.

Therefore, he had to impersonate Qi Baye's relative to successfully obtain a legitimate identity in Changsha.

Of course, if Master Qi doesn't admit it, then he'll be ruthless and resort to threats and intimidation.

Presumably, this will make them obediently acknowledge themselves as relatives.

A dozen minutes later.

Qi Mo arrived at the entrance of a fortune-telling shop and frowned when he found that there were no customers inside.

This person doesn't know how to run a business; no customers come to them.

Could it be that Master Qi is doing poorly?

However, the shop looks quite big; someone who can open such a large shop must have plenty of money.

Qi Mo jumped off the mutated camel's back and walked into the shop.

[The one wearing glasses is Master Qi.]

A fortune teller, he's got some skills.

But his strength is only so-so; you could take him down with one punch.

Wait a minute, scare him with the neck of a mutated pheasant, and he'll accept you as his relative.

Qi Mo stepped forward, looked Qi Baye up and down, and said:

"You must be Master Qi."

Eighth Master Qi glanced at Qi Mo and nodded:

"Yes, I am. You're here to have your fortune told, right? You've used up your fortune-telling opportunities for today. Come back tomorrow."

There are only a few sessions for fortune telling, no wonder there are no customers.

Qi Mo found a chair and sat down as if he were home.

"Listen carefully, I am your distant relative, my name is Qi Mo, you could say I am your cousin."

"Call him 'cousin'!"

He didn't want to be called "brother," and even though he wasn't as old as Master Qi, he wanted to be the older brother.

Master Qi paused for a moment, then adjusted his rather vintage-looking glasses:

"Relative? Do I have such a relative?"

"Um, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

"Zhang Dafoye and I are good brothers. If you're here to cause trouble, you'd better think carefully about the consequences."

As he spoke, he scanned Qi Mo from head to toe, confirming that he was no match for him.

So, he brought up Zhang Dafoye.

Qi Mo pointed to Eighth Master Qi, then to himself, and said:

"Look, don't we look alike? Aren't our mouths the same? Aren't our noses the same?"

"Besides, you're just as handsome as me, isn't that the best proof that we're related!"

You're really good at making things up.

Upon hearing this, Master Qi looked at Qi Mo and then recalled his own appearance. He had to admit that they were indeed quite similar.

Could this really be his relative?

Pshaw, I've been fooled by this person. I can't believe what they say.

He took a deep breath and asked:

Do you have anything that can prove your identity?

Qi Mo thought for a moment and said:

"I'm just like you, I know the fortune-telling skills passed down from my ancestors."

"real?"

"Of course, you can ask me any question, and you'll know if my calculation is correct."

Eighth Master Qi rolled his eyes and asked:

What was I doing at noon three days ago?

Qi Mo quickly spent 100,000 points to ask the system for help:

"Back then, you went to Zhang Dafoye's house for a free meal and took one of his vases."

"They also said this vase was tainted by negative energy and wasn't suitable for the room..."

After finishing your meal, you went home. Because you ate too much, your stomach felt uncomfortable, so you went to the toilet.

"When you went to the restroom, you said you were going to have a chat with Second Master tomorrow..."

Master Qi was somewhat startled, not expecting Qi Mo to be so accurate, even knowing exactly what he had said at the time:

"Stop, stop, that's enough, you don't need to continue."

"While you may be able to tell fortunes, that doesn't prove you're my relative."

"How about this, ask your elders if they have anything that can prove their identity."

"If you have it, bring it here..."

Qi Mo narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with a strong killing intent.

Damn it, are you kidding me? I spent 100,000 points, and you still won't acknowledge me as your relative.

He touched the area on his sleeve.

The mutated pheasant's neck quickly crawled out and wrapped around Qi Baye's neck.

Two snake heads stuck out their tongues at Master Qi, and a fishy smell wafted over, making Master Qi tremble with fear.

"Brother, brother, don't be impulsive, please don't be impulsive, let's talk this out."

Qi Mo smiled slightly and asked:

"Are we related?"

The mutated pheasant opened its mouth wide, its sharp fangs exposed in the air, less than two centimeters from Master Qi.

It was as if he would bite if he answered incorrectly.

Without thinking, Master Qi blurted out:

"Yes, yes, we are relatives."

"Cousin, it's been so many years! I've missed you terribly."

If he says no, he'll probably be bitten to death in the next second.

Where did this evil spirit come from? How did it manage to raise such a bizarre and ferocious snake?

Where did this evil spirit come from? How did it manage to raise such a bizarre and ferocious snake?

He had never even seen it before.

Qi Baye closed his eyes in fear, not daring to look at the mutated pheasant's neck so close to his face.

He was terrified that he would be bitten at any moment.

Qi Mo stood up, walked to Eighth Master Qi, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Cousin, if you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have had to scare you."

"My cousin is visiting Changsha for the first time and doesn't have anywhere to stay. He'll be staying at your place for a while. You don't mind, do you?"

Master Qi, not daring to anger Qi Mo, quickly said:

"No problem, no problem, you can stay as long as you want."

[Master Qi's shock level +800]

Qi Mo's eyes lit up. Goodness, it's scary and has a shock value.

He touched the head of the mutated pheasant's neck.

The mutated pheasant stuck out its tongue as usual, and it happened to lick Qi Baye's face.

[Master Qi's shock level +2000]

Qi Mo looked Qi Baye up and down, never expecting that this man would like "forced love"!

Cousin, since you like the mutant pheasant neck so much, I'll let it develop a good relationship with you.

The mutated pheasant licked Qi Baye's neck again.

[Master Qi's shock level +2000]

[Master Qi's shock level +2000]

[Master Qi's shock level +2000]

…………

Qi Mo only stopped the mutated pheasant from moving its neck after earning 100000 points.

Well, I've earned back the 100000 points I just spent.

Now we won't lose money.

At this moment, Master Qi looked utterly hopeless and exhausted from being kissed.

He desperately wanted to scream and ask someone for help.

But fearing that doing so would anger the obviously venomous snake on his face, he could only endure it for several minutes.

Ugh, he never wants to see a snake again!

Qi Mo reached out his hand, and the mutated pheasant's neck quickly climbed up his shoulder:

"Cousin, my pet snake likes you."

"So, it wants to get closer to you, you don't mind, do you?"

Master Qi shook his head, his face pale, and said:

"I don't mind, I don't mind, but cousin, I don't like snakes."

"Could you please keep it away from me?"

His face was sticky, and the thought that it was snake saliva made him want to vomit.

Qi Mo said with a smile:

"Of course...no."

Qi Baye's expression changed from happy to desperate.

"Cousin, it will be unhappy if you say that."

"At night, it might sneak into your room, and while you're asleep, it might bite you."

Master Qi swallowed hard, flashed a bright smile at the mutated pheasant's neck, and said ingratiatingly:

"Brother Snake, I was wrong, please don't be angry."

"You are my ancestor. From now on, I will treat you like an ancestor. Please don't come looking for me tonight, okay?"

Good heavens, how unlucky he is to be targeted by a jinx and a vicious snake.

Sure enough, he was right; his luck had been a bit bad these past two days.

If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to the Buddha's place this morning.

…………

In a courtyard.

Qi Mo, like a retired old man, leaned back in a recliner, extremely comfortable.

In stark contrast to him was Master Qi, who was currently tidying up the room, looking disheveled.

"Damn it, I should have hired two more people."

"He sent the housekeeper to feed the camels, so I'm the one who has to clean the rooms."

Because he preferred peace and quiet and didn't want too much noise, he only hired one servant, a butler.

In hindsight, this was entirely self-inflicted.

Just as he was becoming increasingly saddened by his thoughts, a hurried voice came from the courtyard:

"Cousin, are you done getting ready yet?"

"I'm sleepy, so hurry up and speed up, don't dawdle."

"Otherwise, I'll have my snake sleep with you tonight."

Master Qi shuddered in fright, quickening his pace while shouting outside:

"Cousin, it'll be ready soon, don't worry."

Tomorrow, he's going to see Master Fo and ask him to help get rid of this person.

This was the first time he had been treated like a servant.

This is so frustrating!
