I don’t want to learn anymore!

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Don’t bully young people into poverty! Wait until I learn everything! I will definitely get back everything I lost!

A man came to the house today. Grandma was very happy and said she had something important to discuss with the man. Don’t think I don’t know what they are doing!

July 2, 1971.
Cloudy to light rain.
Damn it, I don’t want to learn anymore!!
Wang Han burst into laughter.
Who would have thought that Ma Jiugu, one of the top ten strange people in the world and one of the four scourges in the world, would still look like this when she was a child.
I turned over a few more pages of the diary.
There are more than ten pages of diary records like this.
Wang Han quickly turned over again.
Until October 17, 1979.
Negative.
Grandma is gone.
Before leaving, he told me a secret.
I cut off my braids and started learning the art of voodoo from today.
It was also from this page that the diary began to record things about Gu magic.
But the time span in between is very long, and we basically only talk about something every one month.
It’s December 12, 1987 again.

I left the village.
I told my grandma that I must be successful and make the whole world look up to us!

It's really cold in the north. I met a strange man today. He said he could help me accomplish everything I wanted, as long as I gave him three hundred yuan. I didn't agree because I didn't have three hundred yuan.
I must become a rich man.
February 17, 1988.
Heavy snow.
It’s Chinese New Year.
I miss my grandma. I met that person again today. He said he knew my secret. I treated him to a meal of dumplings and he said he would keep it secret for me.

Today I met a strange monk who wanted me to hang out with him. I refused and he said we would meet again.

I met that strange monk again. He said his name was Shi E, and their organization was called the League of Heroes, which recruited heroes from all over the world. They hoped that I could join them, so I joined.

I met a person today and Shie said that person was Di Lao. He seemed to be very afraid of that Di Lao.

Before entering the tower, I met a madman. The madman was so powerful that he could defeat seven or eight transformation realms by one person without being able to fight back. More than thirty great masters were killed and seven or eight of them were killed. It was so terrifying.
October 7, 1991.
Under the tower, I don’t know the weather.
But that lunatic appeared again, saying that the rolling Dao Qi would bring good fortune to the world, and he went crazy and killed the four realms of transformation. It was so terrifying.
October 9, 1991.
Still under the tower.
The madman appeared again, and Shie said that the man was from Zhenlong Pavilion, codenamed Martial God.
Two more transformation realms died today.
Everyone is afraid of the madman.
October 11, 1991.
Still under the tower.
The madman appeared again, but this time the emperor appeared before, and the two of them fought to a draw.
October 12, 1991.
Di Lao is so awesome.
October 13, 1991.
The emperor is so handsome.
October 14, 1991.
Di Lao said that he likes young women but doesn't like me like this, so I poisoned him.
October 15, 1991.
Di Lao actually resolved the poison I cast on him. I was very angry, but thinking about how handsome he was, I wasn't so angry.
October 17, 1991.
We finally found the thing, but the thing fell into a small hole, and there seemed to be someone inside. Shie went down with two transformations, and only Shie came back. Shie was so panicked for the first time, and we left there.

Shie said that he had to think of a way to go there again. In order to cover up others' deception, someone proposed to build a mental hospital in that place, so that few people would go there and the place could still be occupied.
July 13, 1992.
Negative.
Shi E said that he wanted to go to that place again. This time when he came, he also brought a crazy monk. The crazy monk was named Wu Fa.
July 19, 1992.
We came to the foot of the tower again.
Because he had been there once, he was very skilled at finding the hole where he had dropped things before. Shie asked Wu Fa to go down first. Wu Fa went down and came back again, but this time he did not come back alone. He also brought someone with him.
