This time, the Fire Control and Soul-Capturing Talisman did not enter my brow, but rather my palm.
I could feel many forces colliding in my palm; it was more like a fusion than a collision.
This power felt a little unreal. I felt like there was something strange in my hand, but the next moment, the pure white world disappeared, and the talisman on the table also vanished.
What exactly is this state of affairs? Have I succeeded?
I looked at my hands and could still feel different forces merging together. What was going on?
I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror, only to find that I had a strange mark on my forehead, which looked a bit like lightning and a bit like a flame.
When I closed my left eye, I found that the mark on my forehead had disappeared. Clearly, the mark on my forehead could only be seen with the help of the ability to see ghosts.
I have absolutely no idea what's going on or what's happening right now.
It all felt so unbelievable, like a dream, yet it felt incredibly real.
I stepped out of the house and came to an open area. Since we live in the suburbs, there are quite a few open areas.
I began to hold my breath and concentrate, trying to connect with the power in my palm, but nothing happened.
Even my connection with Xiaoyan has become weak. I don't know what happened to my body.
The talisman disappeared without a trace, and the events that occurred in the pure white world were clearly not coincidences. So what exactly happened?
It seems I need to go back and ask Wu Shi to see if he is aware of the situation.
When I entered the room, Wu Shi had already finished washing up and sat down at my desk, intently studying the complete book of talismans.
When I came in, she greeted me and said, "Xiao Xi, how much of this complete book of talismans have you mastered?"
I glanced at the contents of the encyclopedia of talismans and then said, "About seventy percent."
"I haven't tried some of the low- to mid-level talismans that I don't need. I was just trying out the Earthly Fiend Thunder Talisman, and I happen to have something I want to ask you."
I told Wu Shi about what happened in the pure white world and how I felt. Wu Shi frowned as he listened, clearly he had never experienced anything like it.
"I haven't experienced any of what you're talking about. My talent for drawing talismans is mediocre; I can only draw low to mid-level talismans."
"As for advanced talismans, they have never been successful. The reason they failed is simply that the talismans lack spiritual energy and do not contain the pure white world you described."
"My uncles might not even know about this situation, since I've never heard them mention it before."
"By the way, you can ask the advisor. He has profound Taoist knowledge, and you can probably find the answer from him."
I nodded. That's true. Now that the advisor is back, he's seen a lot and knows a great deal.
In the evening, Wu Shi and I lay in bed, both feeling a little awkward. After all, this was the first time we had slept in the same bed, and there was bound to be a lot of awkwardness.
I didn't know what to do at that moment, so I just lay quietly in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
My mind is in complete turmoil right now; everything feels unpredictable and beyond my control.
Everything that happens is unpredictable and uncertain.
"Honey, I feel so tired..."
Wu Shi turned around and hugged me. I could feel the warmth emanating from his body. His arms were very stiff, probably because he was a little nervous.
"It's okay, I'm your wife, you can hug me if you want."
Wu Shi tightened his grip on my arm a little more:
“Xiao Xi, let alone you, even I feel powerless. You have only been cultivating for less than a year, but I feel that you are already stronger than me.”
"I am only mediocre in combat; all I can do is reduce the pain and suffering of the people in the team."
“You knew this when we first met. I was covered in wounds after dealing with just a few wolf demons. I’ve thought about this for a long time: am I really suited for cultivation? If it weren’t for my master, I might just be an ordinary person.”
"Even though I have been cultivating Taoism for more than ten years, the only thing I have continuously improved is my medical skills. I only have a superficial understanding of divination."
"Unlike my master and uncle, my master's martial arts are conventional, but his divination skills are exceptional, and his medical skills are also unparalleled in the Taoist sect."
"My martial uncle is exceptionally skilled in martial arts. Few among his peers can defeat him. Moreover, his talent is the Ghost Eye, which allows him to see into the hearts of the living and the dead—a truly terrifying ability!"
"In addition to his physiognomy skills, he can observe people's good and evil. If he wants, no evil person can hide under his eyes."
"Sometimes, I feel very inferior, but I've come to terms with it. Although I'm not perfect in every way, we can still shoulder the same responsibilities, just at different costs."
After Wu Shi said that, I also felt that my efforts had meaning. Although I might disappear from this world, who doesn't disappear?
Sima Qian once wrote: "Death is inevitable for everyone; it may be as weighty as Mount Tai or as light as a feather!"
Since I have the opportunity to become Mount Tai, why choose a death lighter than a feather?
The night passed quietly…
I stayed at home for the next few days.
However, I still maintained my habit of persisting in my practice and finished what I was supposed to do.
In the following days, my success rate in drawing the Earthly Fiend Thunder Talisman was incredibly high; I drew 22 out of 25 and succeeded.
This success rate is quite terrifying even in Taoism.
