Chapter 333 The Heavenly Eye

During this period, Jiang Ran also took the opportunity to gradually introduce the two of them to metaphysics, including feng shui, magic, and Bagua formations.

After all, there are many dangers outside, and the two of them should be able to protect themselves in case of any danger.

Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen's gaze narrowed slightly, and his expression became somewhat complicated. Jiang Ran's decision seemed simple, but what it contained was far too shocking.

Even though they already knew something about it, they still found it hard to accept, let alone Si Youlin, who was extremely afraid of ghosts and gods.

However, considering that the people behind the scenes often used this method to scheme against them, they hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Jiang Ran taught them from the very basics. The two were naturally gifted, and with their extraordinary destinies—being born with the fate of a dragon and a tiger—their luck was faster than that of ordinary people, and their learning speed was more than a hundred times that of ordinary people.

Even Jiang Ran couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement as she watched the two make progress.

Si Zuochen was extremely talented in the Bagua Formation, while Si Youlin preferred reading strange tales. Seeing the two of them cultivating, Jiang Ran's eyes darkened, and she made a decision.

He then called the two to the back of the mountain.

Looking at the empty space before him, Si Youlin asked in confusion, "Why did you bring us here? Is it so we can learn magic?"

"It's a bit too early to get involved in magic now," Jiang Ran replied in a deep voice. "You need to learn how to observe first before you can take the next step."

"Look?" Si Zuochen asked in surprise, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Hmm." Jiang Ran responded softly, then explained, "Seeing ghosts and monsters is the most basic thing when practicing metaphysics. Only in this way can you detect the problem when looking at feng shui and then deal with it accordingly."

"Evil spirits and yin spirits are the same; they are no different from ghosts and monsters."

Upon hearing this, Si Youlin felt a sense of resistance and quickly retorted, "But we don't need to make a living by telling feng shui for others?"

"What if someone uses this method to scheme against you? You can't even see what's on the other side or where it is, so how can you sense the danger around you?" Jiang Ran's eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Si Youlin pursed his lips slightly, lowered his eyes slightly, and replied in a low voice, "I understand."

Jiang Ran then turned to look at Si Zuochen. Compared to Si Youlin's resistance, Si Zuochen seemed eager to try. His eyes lit up, and he replied in a low voice, "I have no objection!"

Jiang Ran nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice, "Opening the Heavenly Eye is also called Yin-Yang Clarity, which can see through the illusion of all things and distinguish between Yin-Yang Qi and turbid Qi."

"And this is the first step in cultivation, but it can only be used to observe things and detect auras, but it cannot see into a person's heart."

"Yes, we understand." Si Zuochen listened carefully and nodded slightly in response.

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression suddenly became serious. She quickly took out talismans and affixed them to the foreheads of the two people. Her hands formed hand seals that changed rapidly, and she murmured to herself, "Heavenly laws are clear, earthly laws are boundless, connecting heaven and earth, all laws are followed, I obey the command of the Three Pure Ones..."

"The laws of Heaven are pure and clear, the laws of Earth are divine and powerful... I obey the command of the Three Pure Ones..."

Repeatedly, over and over again, then his eyes snapped open, and he shouted sharply: "Open!"

With a single command, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin felt as if their minds had been enlightened, instantly becoming clear and lucid.

The surrounding air also changed. Si Youlin slowly opened his eyes and suddenly found that the situation in front of him had changed drastically. The air was filled with black mist and a cold atmosphere.

Demons and monsters appeared before my eyes, along with some ghostly figures.

One of the female ghosts even turned her head 180 degrees, making eye contact with him.

"ah--"

A scream pierced the sky!

Si Youlin had never encountered this situation before, and his fear intensified. He reached out and gripped Si Zuochen's hand tightly, then abruptly closed his eyes again.

Hearing the noise beside him, Si Zuochen opened his eyes and was startled by the scene before him, but he was much calmer than Si Youlin.

My heart skipped a beat. I suppressed the fear deep inside me and stared blankly at my surroundings. Scenes I had never seen before were now before my eyes.

Jiang Ran looked down at the two people's different reactions and had already made up her mind.

Si Youlin could clearly feel Si Zuochen's palms sweating profusely, so he quickly pulled him close his eyes and slowly moved towards Jiang Ran.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice, "Ah Lin, are you sure you don't want to open your eyes and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Si Youlin shook his head repeatedly, his whole body showing resistance, and refused again and again.

Looking at the scene before him, Si Zuochen's face showed a hint of unease.

Jiang Ran then spoke up, "If you're already afraid to face it now, what will you do in the future? Are you really going to keep your eyes closed and pretend to be blind forever?"

"Once the Heavenly Eye is opened, it can never be closed again!"

"Really?!" Upon hearing this, Si Youlin suddenly opened his eyes. A ghost flashed before his eyes, and Si Youlin stared at Jiang Ran with wide eyes, pretending that he had not seen the scene around him.

"Mm." Jiang Ran pursed her lips slightly and replied in a deep voice.

The tone was certain, but there was still an element of lying. Although it is indeed difficult to close the third eye after it has been opened, it is not without a way.

She made the situation sound serious so that Si Youlin could accept it calmly and avoid any further trouble.

Seeing Jiang Ran's serious expression, Si Youlin suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. He turned to look at Si Zuochen, slightly pursed his lips, and revealed a rare look of helplessness.

Seeing his aggrieved expression, Jiang Ran sighed helplessly and comforted him, "Actually, you'll get used to it. Most ghosts and monsters don't bother us and won't bother us."

"Even if you encounter evil spirits or yin energy, it's alright. I will naturally teach you how to protect yourselves."

Seeing that Si Youlin was moved, Jiang Ranfu continued, "Someone has to learn this kind of metaphysical art. Just like me, didn't I gradually transition from fear to habit, and now I can handle it with ease?"

It's unclear which of Si Youlin's words struck a chord, but his gaze darkened slightly as he asked in a low voice, "Have you been able to see scenes like this since you were a child?"

"More or less," Jiang Ran shrugged, replying casually.

She had been cultivating on the mountain since childhood, and ever since she opened her third eye, she had been dealing with these ghosts and demons, so she was already used to it.

Si Youlin listened to Jiang Ran's answer, but a thoughtful look flashed across his face.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke, "Then...aren't you afraid?"

Upon hearing this, a strange expression flashed across Jiang Ran's face, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes. The past events came vividly to mind, and then she suddenly chuckled: "At first, I was afraid, but after seeing it more often, I got used to it."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful expression appeared on Si Youlin's face. He pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then replied in a low voice, "Then I'm not afraid!"

Since she, a girl, persevered and made it through, what reason do I have to stay here timidly?

Seeing Si Youlin's sudden determination and change, Jiang Ran's eyes flashed, and a hint of approval appeared on her face.

Then, with a slight smile, he replied in a deep voice, "Alright, then you should familiarize yourselves with the scene before you for the time being. Once you can look at it directly without fear, I will teach you how to deal with it."

"Okay." Si Zuochen lowered his eyes slightly and replied in a low voice.

Jiang Ran smiled slightly when she saw Si Youlin nod as well, and then turned and left.

"I can definitely overcome this!" Si Youlin shouted loudly behind her, trying to show his firm will.

"Okay!" Jiang Ran replied casually, waving her hand without even turning her head.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Si Youlin suddenly let out a scream, followed by an accusation: "What was that?! How could it touch me!"

Hearing the wails coming from behind, Jiang Ran's lips curled into a sly smile.

Si Youlin stood rooted to the spot, watching helplessly as those ghostly hands touched his shoulders. He felt goosebumps rise on his back and cold sweat pour down his forehead.

He was already afraid of this kind of thing, and he forced himself to agree while suppressing his fear. He never expected that these were not ordinary scenes, but rather things that were as real as physical objects!

Seeing the fear on Si Youlin's face, Si Zuochen, though also encountering something like this for the first time, forced himself to remain calm and reached out to strike the ghostly palm.
