Chapter 223: Discovering the Monster in the Lake
Dai Qing was stunned when she heard the Taoist's reminder.
"So, you're not interested in the Folk Museum either?"
"Not really. Nowadays, if you want to do something, you have to go through the proper channels. Otherwise, if you're not careful, you'll be accused of being a feudal superstitious person."
What they learn is skills, and they follow their heart in everything they do and do, and they never do anything to deceive others.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people may rely on their abilities to cause trouble and undermine the rules of this industry.
People have limited abilities and cannot control other people. Being able to keep one's own heart can be considered a kind of fulfillment.
So, when the government invited him to participate in the Folk Museum, he did not hesitate and just wanted to do his part.
But now, he is becoming increasingly disappointed with the Folk Museum.
The establishment of the Folk Culture Museum was still far from what was expected. There were still many difficulties ahead, and internal strife had already occurred.
In such an environment, how can we attract fresh blood?
Seeing the worry on Taoist Zhenyou's face, Dai Qing pursed her lips. Regarding this point, she had no right to advise him.
In the era of human relationships, what matters is relationships.
Anyone who has entered society will have suffered losses, and many of them will hate this era of relationships.
"Don't send me off. I'll go back by myself. Bye." Dai Qing glanced at the surroundings and spoke softly.
"Hey~, you just said that the little girl had a bloody disaster, it should be true, right?" The Taoist Zhenyou looked at her with burning eyes.
It is said that every different profession has its own unique challenges. He is good at reading Yin and Yang houses, but he is still a little lacking in face reading.
"Of course, I never lie. Seeing blood is a small matter. The bigger matter is being stolen. I hope she can bear it."
Dai Qing shrugged innocently. People who look at others with their chin held high are destined to ignore the scenery in front of them.
Commonly known as darkness under the lamp.
Only she knows how it feels to have your home stolen by someone you look down upon.
Taoist Priest Zhen You looked at Dai Qing's ambiguous eyes and felt very uneasy, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
Dai Qing walked on the abandoned path in the park and had to pass through a bush before she could reach the sidewalk.
When passing by a bamboo forest, Dai Qing stopped and looked for a moment, then couldn't help frowning.
Behind the bamboo forest is the Green Lake. At this moment, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, forming a vortex. She actually saw a layer of dark black air covering the vortex.
How come there is black gas coming out of the lake in this abandoned park that has been closed?
Dai Qing concentrated and looked carefully. The black mist on the lake was thicker than before.
There must be something in the lake with such dark air.
Dai Qing hesitated for a moment, turned around and went back, just in time to see Xiao Wang coming down from upstairs, "Xiao Wang, has the Taoist priest Zhenyou already gone upstairs?"
"Yes," Xiao Wang looked at Dai Qing, then turned his head to look upstairs, "If you have anything, just go upstairs directly."
"Could you please ask the Taoist priest to come down for me?" He had just had an unpleasant incident and now he had to go upstairs. How embarrassing.
"Do you have something to ask Taoist Master Zhenyou?"
As he was speaking, Taoist Master Lei Xu came over with his hands behind his back and looked at Dai Qing with an inquiring look in his eyes.
"There really is a Taoist priest talking to Director Meng. If you have anything urgent to do, I can help you call him."
The other party's meaning was very clear, telling her directly that he was really busy and it was nothing important, so it was best not to disturb him.
Dai Qing looked at Taoist Master Lei Xu's expression and chuckled, "Thank you for your reminder, Taoist Master. I heard that the Shenxiao Sect is good at controlling ghosts and gods, so catching ghosts should be no problem, right?"
Hearing Dai Qing's question, Taoist Master Lei Xu was stunned, "Did you encounter a ghost?"
"Well, there should be something in the Green Lake in front, near the bamboo forest. Taoist Master Lei Xu is a Taoist, so we can go and take a look to see if there is anything unusual."
As long as the things in the lake can be dealt with, it doesn't matter who goes.
Taoist Master Lei Xu hesitated for a moment, then nodded directly, "Lead the way."
The two walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, and Dai Qing described what she had seen to him. "For no reason, black mist rose from the water surface. There must be something underneath."
Taoist Master Lei Xu closed his eyes, placed his fingers between his eyebrows, muttered something, then suddenly looked towards the lake with a serious expression.
"There are indeed dirty things at the bottom of the lake that need to be purified."
Taoist Master Lei Xu suppressed his surprise and looked at Dai Qing.
"How did you find out?" They have been here for two or three days, but they didn't notice anything unusual in the lake?
"I saw it while passing by." Dai Qing glanced at him and explained casually.
Taoist Master Lei Xu was stunned, his heart was excited, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Dai Qing changed from inquiry to shock.
No wonder the Taoist Priest Zhen treats her with such courtesy. With such a talent, if she were accepted as a disciple, wouldn't there be hope for the revitalization of the sect?
"You are a man of extraordinary talent, which is amazing."
"Thank you for the compliment, Taoist priest. Since the lake is not clean and it is near the Folk Museum, you should be responsible for exorcising the evil spirits." Dai Qing said, nodded slightly, and prepared to leave.
"To remove the evil spirits from the lake, we need to perform a ritual. Would you like to watch?"
It would be a pity not to recruit such a talented person into one's own sect.
Dai Qing was stunned when she heard Taoist Master Lei Xu's suggestion. Let her watch catching ghosts on the spot?
Although she had collected several souls, she had never seen a serious ghost hunting.
“Will it be inconvenient?”
"We are all from the Xuanmen sect. There is no mystery to be avoided." Ordinary people avoided them for fear of scaring them, but their colleagues naturally did not have to worry about it.
"If you don't mind, you can go to the guest room to rest. After dark, we can start the ritual."
"Don't bother. I'm just strolling around here." She had never been to the area near Cuihu Lake. Everyone said the scenery was nice, so she just took the opportunity to take a look.
"Okay, I'll give you this lightning-attracting talisman. If you encounter danger, you can use it to save your life."
Dai Qing: “…”
It was clearly a piece of talisman paper, but she could see a flash of golden light on it. Although she was very moved, it was just a chance encounter and she could not accept it.
"It's too expensive. I can't accept it." The lightning-attracting talisman, just by hearing the name, you know it's not cheap.
"It's okay, it's just a thunder talisman."
Seeing Dai Qing's surprised expression, Taoist Master Lei Xu's serious face suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Our Shenxiao Sect has been passed down to this day, and we mainly practice the Five Thunders Method. Although many things have been lost, those who practice deeply can summon wind, rain, thunder and lightning at any time. A thunder talisman is not a very expensive thing."
He is now working hard to study the Taoism of his own sect, and his skills have improved greatly.
"Master, I will go and prepare for the opening ceremony."
As they were talking, a young man in sportswear came over, glanced at Dai Qing, turned to Taoist Master Lei Xu, bowed, and called him "Master".
Taoist Lei Xu nodded solemnly, and then introduced Dai Qing, "This is my disciple Ming Jing, who is very talented. If you meet him in the future, please take care of him."
Ming Jing was silent for a moment, then looked at his master in confusion, feeling unconvinced.
He is the most talented disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, and his master has always been proud of him. How come he seems average in talent in front of this girl?
