Chapter 1214 He's on a Pirate Ship

Yeah, if my senior brother can read people's birth charts, then why don't we just show them to Tu Dan'er and he'll know?

"Senior brother, don't get so hung up on this. Why don't you just check their birth charts?"

Zhang Chengxuan chewed on a fried egg, his beard almost twisted with anger.

"I don't know about Tudan'er, and I didn't ask about Wuji either."

“I’ll go ask,” Song Chunxue said with a smile, trying to comfort him. “Just think about it, they won’t have to worry about being a couple anymore, and they won’t hold back other girls. That’s good.”

Zhang Chengxuan didn't reply and got up to leave.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I went down the mountain to summon the soul of someone."

Song Chunxue was surprised, "Someone asked you to perform a ritual so quickly?"

"It's been more than half a year. I entrusted it to this place, but the person insisted on waiting for me to handle it, so it's not good to delay any longer."

"I'll go with you."

"No need, I can go by myself." Zhang Chengxuan's mind was a bit confused. "Don't cause me any more trouble."

“I’m determined to go. Teach me, and maybe when I’m old and broke, I can make a living as a geomancer.”

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "You're not on your period, are you?"

"Um... I can't be ignorant of this basic common sense, of course I wasn't there." Song Chunxue muttered, "But you did remind me, things have been getting more and more unstable lately, coming every two or three months. Do you think I'm turning into an old woman?"

"..." This person is really too informal. Zhang Chengxuan scratched his head, thinking that he wanted to say something. He used to be so carefree, how come he can be driven crazy by the smallest things now?

Time waits for no one.

He wants to go out and gain experience on his own; these people are really annoying.

Just as Song Chunxue and Zhang Daozhang finished packing and were about to go down the mountain to lead their horses, Qi Yun and Han Mo returned.

"Where are you going?" Qi Yun asked curiously, looking at the cloth bag on Zhang Chengxuan's shoulder. "Are you going to run an errand for someone?"

Otherwise, they wouldn't need to carry such heavy things on their bodies; it would be much more convenient to store them in their storage rings.

“Yes, you all need to behave yourselves on the mountain these next few days, focus on your cultivation, and don’t take on any job that comes your way.” Zhang Chengxuan walked ahead expressionlessly. “If you encounter any silly girls seeking marriage, don’t try to seduce them, especially you, Qi Yun.”

Qi Yun was unconvinced, "If you're worried, I'll go with you."

“No.” Song Chunxue didn’t want to take him.

“I think it’s a good idea,” Zhang Chengxuan said calmly. “Perhaps you are a good prospect. You should broaden your horizons.”

My senior actually agreed?

Looking at his expression, Song Chunxue felt as if her senior brother was deliberately going against her.

Has this person grown old and developed a rebellious streak?

Finally, Qi Yun followed the two of them down the mountain to a village called Hongtugou.

In Song Chunxue's memory, Hongtugou was very eerie, and it was not advisable to pass through there at noon or midnight.

They seem to have dealt with similar situations before, I didn't expect it to happen again this time.

The victim's son was carrying three guokui (a type of flatbread) when he passed by Hongtugou at noon. He was possessed by a spirit, and the mystery was covered up by the red mud. By the time people found him, he was already dead.

Fortunately, an old man who happened to be passing by rescued the donkey. However, after waking up, the donkey was in a daze, with lifeless eyes, and only knew how to giggle.

This situation has been going on for more than half a year, and I have tried all sorts of methods, but nothing has worked.

Old Man Liu had heard that the Taoist priests on Wuquan Mountain had handled similar cases, so for the past six months he had been frequently asking when they would come down the mountain to call back his son's soul.

Zhang Chengxuan was familiar with this matter, so he didn't have anyone set up an incense table to invite the gods. He went directly to Old Man Liu's house, applied acupressure to his son's pressure points and affixed talismans, recited a spell and then slapped his forehead.

Qi Yun watched intently, muttering to Song Chunxue, "Although I've seen people call back their souls in other places, I've never seen it done so quickly. Shouldn't we wait for the appointed time?"

"Your senior master's cultivation is high."

Qi Yun crossed his arms. "That incantation of his... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?"

"You've also tried calling back a soul?"

Qi Yun shook his head. "No, but Lingyun Mountain probably wouldn't teach this, would it?"

"Not necessarily. There are definitely methods for summoning spirits, but Senior Brother already knows this trick, so there's no need for him to learn it separately. What, do you want to learn it?"

Qi Yun shook his head, "I have no ambition to heal the sick and save the world, I'm just here to broaden my horizons."

Song Chunxue smiled meaningfully, "I'm afraid it's not up to you."

Qi Yun was puzzled by his laughter, and felt a chill run down her spine.

"Master, what do you mean by this?"

"Tu Dan'er is a heartless person. His birth chart is too strong, so he has no affinity for these things. Since you have become my apprentice, I think if you have talent in this area, it would be a waste not to learn it."

Qi Yun refused, "I don't want to save them. They're too stupid. They run into all sorts of messy things. I don't want to hear about that awful stuff."

Before long, Master Zhang was escorted out of the courtyard by Old Man Liu and his family, who warmly fed him all sorts of food and even gave him a live chicken.

"No need, no need. Old lady, you should go back and see your son. He'll be better tomorrow."

"No need, I won't take these if I accept the copper coins. I can support myself now."

After some maneuvering with the old man, Zhang Chengxuan finally managed to escape.

"Qi Yun, I think you should learn from me from now on. You'll gain experience in the secular world only by following me." Before he could refuse, Zhang Chengxuan sighed, "My good disciple has been kidnapped. Why don't you learn from me?"

"..." Qi Yun, who was not good at refusing people, looked at Song Chunxue, "Master, this... I am your disciple."

"Can't your senior master teach you?"

"..." Qi Yun was extremely unwilling, but did not know how to refuse, feeling like he had been tricked.
