Wen Wan scratched her head and explained, "Actually, I haven't thought about it this way before. The main reason is... who would dig their own grave for no reason? Not to mention that the living don't have graves, the dead don't have the ability to dig graves either!"
"It was only after I came here that I suddenly thought of doing this. After all, the magical instruments back then were all meticulously crafted by the sect's elders, and their quality was far superior to today's instruments."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of the last time, when Jia Xibe got a mini peach wood sword. It was such a fucking headache!
There are so few stores selling ritual implements these days. When will Taoism be revived and ritual implements be allowed to be used freely?
She couldn't help but sigh as she thought about it, then continued with a resolute attitude, "As the saying goes, 'A craftsman must first sharpen his tools to do his job well.' Having the right magical weapon is truly crucial! So... even if digging my own grave sounds awkward, I'm going to do it today!"
"If that's the case, then I support you in digging the grave." Zhou Ziheng nodded in understanding and said in agreement.
But just as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and unconsciously frowned, asking worriedly, "Is there any danger?"
"A thousand years ago, you worked together to capture a monster, but you still perished here. Your current strength is far inferior to what it was then. What would you do if you encountered that monster again?"
"I guess there won't be a chance to meet him again." Wen Wan shook her head and answered bluntly, then explained carefully: "I had already thought about this problem when I made this decision."
"So I just stayed at the temple gate for a while and used my Taoist magic to explore the situation in the forest, but I didn't feel anything unusual."
"...What if that monster hid you?" Zhou Ziheng raised a possibility very cautiously.
"No." Wen Wan rejected it without a second thought and explained seriously, "Ghosts emit yin energy, while demons emit demonic energy."
"These two auras are difficult to conceal. For example, when you encounter a ghost, you will feel cold all over. These are abnormalities that ordinary people can feel, let alone someone like me who has been practicing since childhood."
"So I can conclude that the demon is no longer in the forest."
Zhou Ziheng nodded thoughtfully, and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, but speaking of which...what kind of monster is so powerful?"
Wen Wan's strength has always been obvious to all. Many evil spirits are nothing compared to her, and her current ability is less than half of what it was in her heyday.
In her prime, she was still a disciple of the Jingming Sect. How powerful must the sect's leader and elders be? How powerful could a demon be that so many powerful people couldn't deal with?
Zhou Ziheng really couldn't imagine it, but he was very curious about it.
Because of the unpleasant experiences he had in his childhood, he had always been resistant to these supernatural things, but after the Jingyi incident, his impression gradually changed.
Later, after gradually gaining a deeper understanding, I found that these strange and bizarre things are really quite interesting, and there is a lot of knowledge involved.
He seemed to have opened the door to a new world and became more and more interested in it, so he really wanted to know more and couldn't help but continue asking in detail.
Wen Wan is not a stingy person. Not only will she impart this knowledge to Zhou Ziheng, she will also tell other friends if they want to hear or know it.
Taoism is now in decline and materialism is rampant. It is good enough that there are people willing to believe and understand. What else do we need?
If we really stick to the previous policy of "not passing on the Taoism to outsiders other than the disciples of this sect", in a few decades, the Taoism will really be lost!
As long as you have the right character, don't use it to do bad things, don't go against the will of heaven, and are willing to learn, she is willing to teach. This is the meaning of inheritance!
Since her brother Zhou is so eager to learn, she can't discourage him! She must explain it in detail!
Wen Wan carefully recalled the scene of that year, and familiar scenes of memories emerged in her mind like a movie, but... they were all scattered, like a pile of glass fragments that could not be pieced together no matter how hard she tried. What kind of monster was this?
She subconsciously closed her eyes, frowned and tried to recall. Just as she was getting closer to the answer, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on the top of her head.
Before she could come to her senses, the pain had already spread completely, and the intense pain filled her entire head, as if it was about to split.
She subconsciously held her head with both hands, bit her lower lip hard, and tried her best to suppress the scream that was on the tip of her lips.
But the pain was too intense, as if it could penetrate deep into her bones, forcing her to cry out in pain, "Ah——"
"What's wrong? Do you have a headache?" Zhou Ziheng became flustered when he saw that she was not in good condition, and asked hurriedly with concern.
Wen Wan was in so much pain at the moment that she had no time to care about what he was saying, and naturally she couldn't reply.
Zhou Ziheng, who was always calm and composed, was now panicked and at a loss. Because Wen Wan's condition was unclear, he didn't dare to touch her casually for fear of causing secondary injury.
He forced himself to calm down and murmured nervously, "... find a doctor, find a doctor, yes, find a doctor! I'll find a doctor right now!"
"Honey, hold on, I'll go find a doctor right away!" After Zhou Ziheng made up his mind, he quickly spoke to comfort his girlfriend, then immediately stood up and stumbled towards the door.
But just as he took a step, a warm little hand grasped his wrist, and a gentle, weak voice came at the same time, "...Don't go, I'm much better now."
He originally thought that Wen Wan's previous words were just a lie made up to appease her because she was afraid of injections and medication, but when he turned around with a look of surprise, he found that Wen Wan was indeed much better.
Although his face still looked very pale, his condition had stabilized. At least he was no longer rolling around in pain with his head in his hands like before.
He raised his other hand and gently covered the small hand on his arm, then obediently sat down on the bed again and asked her about her current condition with a look of concern, "Is it really not hurting anymore?"
Wen Wan nodded gently and responded with a forced smile, "Yeah, it really doesn't hurt anymore."
She really wasn't pretending, and she really couldn't pretend. It really wasn't painful anymore.
But... although it doesn't hurt now, the severe headache just now still makes her feel a little scared. It hurts so much that she wants to bang her head against the wall!
Zhou Ziheng frowned tightly and asked worriedly, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly get a headache? Has this happened before?"
After this incident, Wen Wan felt her limbs were weak and her whole body was powerless, so she moved slightly and lay back on the bed.
She only started answering the other party one by one after she lay down.
