Chapter 55: The Ghost 1
In the quiet grove, the branches and leaves are lush all around, and the sunlight shines through the layers of leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.
The breeze blew gently, and the leaves rustled. It should have been a peaceful and harmonious scene, but at this moment, there was a tense atmosphere in the air.
Yang Mian was wearing a school uniform and standing there straight, like a pine tree, isolated from the world.
Her face was cold and her expression was indifferent. Her eyes were like bottomless pools, staring quietly ahead.
On the opposite side, Director Wang bowed slightly with a look of deep awe.
His hands were folded awkwardly in front of him, and his fingers were unconsciously rubbing each other lightly, revealing his inner nervousness and anxiety.
Yang Mian was the first to break the silence. Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a spring in the mountains, with a bit of innate casualness: "Tell me! What do you want from me?"
When Director Wang heard this, she seemed to be injected with strength. She straightened her back and smiled even brighter. Her tone was full of respect, even a little flattering: "Auntie, I'll be frank. I want to ask you for a teleportation talisman."
Yang Mian raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes, her lively eyes were like the twinkling stars in the night sky: "Aren't you from Xuanmen? You should be able to draw a teleportation talisman, right? "
Director Wang's face instantly flushed with embarrassment. He scratched his head, smiled innocently and said with a bit of helplessness and self-mockery in his voice: "To be honest, I'm not smart enough. Over the years, I have practiced day and night, but drawing the teleportation talisman is like an insurmountable chasm that I can't master. Every time I try with hope, I always end up in failure. It's like this talisman is deliberately making things difficult for me."
"Do you have any talisman on you? Let me see the talisman you drew." Yang Mian's eyes were fixed on Director Wang. Her expression was as calm as water, yet with an unquestionable majesty.
"Yes, ma'am." When Director Wang heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness.
He hurriedly took out the talisman paper from his arms, held it carefully in both hands as if it was a rare treasure, and handed it to Yang Mian respectfully.
He knew very well in his heart that the aunt was trying to give him some advice!
The Grand Master often said that my great-aunt was the most intelligent person in the entire Xuanmen. It was easy for her to draw inferences from one instance. No one in the Xuanmen could match her. Even the Grand Master had to feel inferior to her in some aspects.
Yang Mian stretched out her slender white hand and took the talisman paper.
She only glanced at it and accurately found the key to the problem: "Your drawing here and there are wrong. I will correct it for you, and you can take it back and practice more. Once you are proficient in it, it will not be a problem to transmit the talisman you drew a thousand miles away."
When Director Wang heard this, his face was full of shock. He had originally thought that he would be satisfied if he could teleport four or five miles, but he did not expect that the aunt said that after the modification, it could be teleported a thousand miles.
Although this thousand miles might still be a big gap compared to my aunt's teleportation talisman, for him, it was already an unimaginable huge surprise.
Yang Mian just raised her hand slightly and grabbed out of thin air, and a brush appeared steadily in her hand.
The brush holder had a warm sheen, and the wolf hair at the tip was neat and elastic.
Yang Mian turned his wrist slightly, and the tip of the pen moved flexibly on the talisman paper like flowing water.
However, with just two strokes, the talisman paper seemed to be injected with fresh life, instantly emitting a dazzling light and slowly floating into the air.
The light illuminated a small area around it, making the entire grove seem shrouded in a mysterious halo.
"The teleportation talisman is done." Director Wang carefully took the talisman paper in his hand, his eyes wide open, observing it carefully, and kept muttering: "Great, great, so great, I didn't even think of drawing a few strokes here, but you are really amazing, you saw my problem right away."
At this moment, his admiration for Yang Mian increased a little more. The words of the grandmaster were indeed correct. The young lady did have extraordinary abilities.
I have mediocre talent and my master tried his best to teach me how to draw talismans but failed. However, my aunt was able to modify it so easily.
Yang Mian looked at Director Wang and said calmly, "If you practice a few more times according to this diagram, you will have no problem drawing the teleportation talisman in due time. As long as you study hard and practice diligently, you will definitely gain something."
"Thank you for your guidance." Director Wang held the teleportation talisman tightly, and was reluctant to let it go, as if he was holding the future and hope of Xuanmen, and as if he was holding a bright light on his own path of cultivation.
"Didn't you tell me a few days ago that Xuanmen was in trouble? What exactly happened?" Yang Mian's expression was slightly stern, and a trace of solemnity emerged on his originally calm face, and his tone became low and serious.
After all, Xuanmen is the place where she practiced and grew, and it is the home in her heart. Although her master is not her biological father, he is better than a father to her.
In her previous life, Yang Mian was an orphan without a father or a mother. Throughout her long life, Xuanmen gave her warmth and care and was the most important harbor in her life.
Xuanmen is in trouble now, she really can't just stand by and watch and remain indifferent.
A few days ago, it was only because I had recovered my memory and my heart was filled with my lover in the previous life, and my heart was filled with an urgent desire to see him that I ignored what Director Wang said.
Now, the matter between her and Huo Yanshen has been settled, and her fellow disciples in Xuanmen have received the punishment they deserved. She has let it go and is no longer obsessed with past grudges.
"Auntie, are you willing to help?" Director Wang's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Tell me first, what is the current situation of our Xuanmen?"
Director Wang's expression darkened, as if shrouded in a haze. He sighed deeply, his voice filled with helplessness and grief: "Auntie! Since you left Xuanmen, Xuanmen has been getting worse day by day. Not only did you leave, but even the eldest brother and many other brothers and sisters disappeared without a trace.
After the people from the Demon Cult learned the news, they began to constantly try to attack our Xuanmen. Fortunately, the great master had great magical powers and was able to fight off the attacks time and time again with his peerless skills.
But who could have thought that there was a traitor in Xuanmen recently. Someone defected to the Demon Sect for his own selfish interests, and attacked the founder from behind when he was not prepared, injuring him.
The founder can only retreat and recuperate now, the Xuanmen sect is in danger! It is possible that they will be breached by the evil cult at any time and fall into an irretrievable situation. ”
After hearing this, Yang Mian's expression suddenly became stern, and the aura around him suddenly became cold, as if the temperature around him had dropped several degrees.
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in her eyes, and that look was like a sharp blade, as if it could cut off all the evil in the world.
She raised her hand and waved it gently. The branches beside her seemed to feel her anger and shook violently, making a rustling sound, as if responding to her anger and determination.
"Auntie, what should we do now?" Director Wang rubbed his hands anxiously, rubbing them against each other, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Yang Mian pondered for a moment, thinking quickly about the countermeasures in his mind, and said slowly: "Let's go to Xuanmen first. I want to see how serious the injury of the ancestor is. We must also find the traitor as soon as possible and never let him go unpunished."
