Chapter 51
Sunlight streamed through the thin mist into the courtyard of Linxi Temple, and the small, emerald-green fans rustled in the breeze.
Under the lush ginkgo trees.
A Taoist priest, dressed in a Taoist robe and with a serene expression, sat on a bamboo chair with a young woman in white. The woman was on the phone, while the priest listened silently and tidied up the talismans he had just practiced drawing.
On the table was homemade yellow paper mixed with some leaves of the water lily. Drinking it with spiritual water was the method they found to have the highest success rate.
Ordinary yellow paper cannot retain spiritual power at all, let alone be successfully made.
Based on the information provided by his predecessors, and with reference to the books passed down and preserved by his ancestors.
I found some talismans in books that are still usable today.
The version provided by Senior Su Yuan was far too advanced. Apart from their master, the two of them probably exhausted all their spiritual energy and could only manage to draw a single dot.
Let's just forget about it.
Now that Master has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he has a natural grasp of spiritual power and can draw a picture effortlessly.
The master even tried to draw talismans out of thin air, using his fingers as a pen and the heavens and earth as talisman paper, without relying on external forces.
It worked on the first try again.
After Lingxi tried it a few more times, she lost interest and turned to teaching her apprentices instead.
The yellow paper on the table is now used by him and his senior sister for practice. Drawing talismans is not difficult for him; the difficulty lies in how to accurately control spiritual energy and precisely and stably input it into the tip of the brush.
Yun Qingzi recovered for a moment.
He took out a new sheet of yellow paper and tried to draw on it. He waited until his forehead was covered with fine sweat and he had only a little spiritual energy left in his body before he finally finished it in one go. The talisman flashed with white light and was finally completed.
Whew~
Yun Qingzi picked up the talisman paper drawn by Lingxi and his senior sister. Under his spiritual eyes, the talisman paper drawn by his master was as bright as the sun and stars, making his weak white light seem like nothing. When he put down the talisman paper drawn by his master, the fluorescent light of his senior sister was even stronger than his.
Yun Qingzi sighed.
Indeed, spiritual practice is not as easy as one might imagine.
Waiting for the woman to hang up the phone.
Yun Qingzi stopped what she was doing and whispered, "Master, it's confirmed."
The woman nodded gently.
"The Yang family has a good family tradition, so it's not a bad choice."
"I hope they won't let us down." Yun Qingzi didn't know whether taking this step was a good thing or a bad thing.
The answer in his heart was always unclear, and at that moment, he didn't know if it was right or wrong.
"Um."
Lingxi was also a little uneasy, but everyone would have to deal with what was to come.
Their initiative in helping others has also helped the country avoid many detours.
The spiritual energy revival has begun, and within a decade or two, or even several decades, the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape) will inevitably change.
The saying goes, "When you achieve success, you should help others."
While it's reasonable to mind one's own business, Lingxi isn't the kind of person who sits idly by.
"It's alright, I have a backup plan."
Lingxi sighed softly and instructed Yun Qingzi, "Some staff members will be coming to Linxi Cave to collect samples in a few days. Please let the village committee know when that happens."
"good."
Yun Qingzi poured a cup of mint tea and placed it next to Ling Xi, replying softly that it was fine.
Jin Moli followed Old Liu into the courtyard.
"Master."
Lingxi nodded.
"Here you are, Jasmine is continuing her talisman practice today."
Jin Moli nodded and obediently sat down at the wooden table, ready to practice.
Old Liu had already grabbed a cucumber and sat down in a corner to eat it.
...
S City
People's Hospital
After reviewing all the test results, the doctor frowned and said seriously to the boy's mother, "Ms. Parent, your child may have organ failure."
"However, I recommend that the child be hospitalized as soon as possible to delay further deterioration."
The doctor's words were hard for the child's mother to accept.
His health has clearly returned to normal.
How could this be...?
She was incredulous and stammered, "Doctor, he... he was perfectly healthy just a few days ago, how could this be..."
"Li Zixuan's mother, let's stay calm."
"Doctor, is there something wrong with the instrument? Should we check again..." The woman preferred to believe that the instrument was malfunctioning and had played a big joke on her.
"Mom~"
The doctor's conversation with her mother made Li Zixuan feel uneasy, and she gripped her mother's clothes tightly with her little hands.
The woman regained her composure through her childish yet panicked voice.
She hugged the little boy, looked at the doctor, and pleaded, "My son..."
The doctor couldn't give a guarantee at the moment; he could only try his best to calm the woman down.
"Let's get him admitted to the hospital first. My teacher is a renowned pediatrician, we trust him, okay?"
Knowing she had no choice but to entrust everything to the doctor, the woman gritted her teeth and agreed.
"good."
In just a few hours, she hurriedly took her son to the hospital again.
After a series of events, Li Zixuan was so exhausted that he fell asleep.
The woman looked at her sleeping son on the hospital bed with teary eyes, holding his little hand, her heart filled with self-reproach.
It's all because she failed to give her son good health.
I've always had a weak constitution, and one wrong move could land me in the hospital. Just when I was finally getting better, another piece of bad news would come.
The woman's gaze swept over the Buddha amulet around her neck.
A feeling of disgust suddenly arose in my heart.
Suddenly, she picked up a fruit knife from the side and was about to cut the rope.
"What are you doing?"
A cold snort rang out. The man had just entered the ward when he saw the woman holding a knife to his son's neck. He instantly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking the woman was about to do something foolish to his son. He lunged forward and snatched the knife from the woman's hand.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The woman suddenly chuckled softly. Her husband took the knife away, but she had already cut the red string that held the Buddhist amulet.
With a flick of her wrist, she disdainfully tossed the palm-sized wooden sign to the ground.
"Get out of here, get far away from my son."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The man noticed his wife's strange expression and pulled her aside. As for the fallen Buddha amulet, that was not his concern.
But as soon as the two of them stood up, they seemed to be drawn to something and froze on the spot.
The son, who had been fast asleep in the hospital bed, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were dark and empty, as if he had lost his soul.
The little boy got up, picked up the Buddha amulet that had been dropped on the ground, lay down, and continued to place the Buddha amulet in front of him.
The woman stared blankly for a moment, blinked, and looked around in a daze. Suddenly, she noticed that the red string around the boy's neck was broken, and a look of heartache flashed across her face: "Oh dear, how did this amulet fall down?"
"Honey, go buy a red string! Why did it break?"
The man narrowed his eyes, and upon hearing his wife speak, he quickly replied, "I'll go right now."
As he spoke, he took a few steps and then noticed the fruit knife in his hand.
I'm a bit confused.
What was he going to do with the fruit knife?
peeling fruit
But he had already peeled a bowl of watermelon and put it in the bowl.
Unable to figure it out, the man put the fruit knife away and walked out.
Meanwhile, in some unnamed place in the city
A middle-aged man approached the man in black.
"It's been a while, where have you been?"
The man in black's voice was somewhat hoarse, and seemed to carry a hint of dissatisfaction with the person in front of him.
The newcomer didn't care at all. "Do you have any more talismans? Give me another one. I want that adulterous couple to pay the price."
Mentioning that couple.
The man gritted his teeth.
If it weren't for that couple, he wouldn't have ended up in jail.
The man in black refused decisively: "No more."
"How could there not be? You brat, even your uncle won't give you any."
"I've already squandered all the points I received last time, how could there be any left over?" The man in black was also very dissatisfied with this, after all, a single talisman required quite a few points.
If he hadn't done something big at the hospital and received a lot of points, he wouldn't have been so generous.
"So you've used up all the talismans?"
"Is this talisman a fake? It won't work in a minute, and it even got me arrested."
Man in black: "No way."
"Definitely."
Yuan Chen didn't believe that the couple had the ability to break free from that supreme magic; the problem must lie with the talisman itself.
Thanks to the concealment technique that Su Yuan set up for Ling Xi, Yuan Chen's impression of the master and his disciples had completely disappeared.
As for Yang Zhengyong and the others, they had no ill intentions towards Lingxi.
If one harbors negative thoughts towards Lingxi, they will naturally gradually lose interest.
The young man in black couldn't tell what was going on, and only said, "The sect is going to make some big moves soon. Stay by my side during this time and don't cause any trouble."
The young man frowned at his uncle.
She's lecherous and incompetent, always causing trouble.
Yuan Chen objected: "I'm not going to live in this dark rental room with you. I'm going to stay in a hotel."
"We have to stay, whether we like it or not."
The young man revealed a wooden plaque carved with the character "苍" and muttered a few words.
A flash of inspiration struck the wooden sign.
Just as Yuan Chen was about to turn around, his entire body was immobilized in place, like a lamb to the slaughter, except that his eyeballs could still move normally.
He was frozen again.
Yuan Chen was taken aback, somewhat confused as to why it was "again".
The young man chuckled softly, "Uncle~"
"Um……"
Yuan Chen glared angrily at the young man in black, signaling him to let go.
The man's eyes nearly popped out, but the young man remained unhurried: "Be good, don't do anything to upset me. You'll stand here obediently today and learn your lesson."
After saying that, the young man in black went back to his bedroom and turned off the light.
The windowless living room was plunged into complete darkness when the only light source went out.
"Um?"
It was pitch black.
Yuan Chen couldn't see anything, and made a whimpering sound to remind the young man that he was still there.
But his dear nephew went back into the house without even stopping.
Yuan Chen was dumbfounded.
"Waaah... um..."
He shouted even louder.
They wanted to call out to the youth.
But the sounds made in this small living room were drowned out by the noise from outside.
The room was terrifyingly dark, and Yuan Chen felt an instinctive sense of fear.
He tried to resist in secret, but to no avail. Apart from the fine sweat on his forehead, it was of no use.
Time ticked by, second by second.
"Swish~"
"Rustling sound~"
It looks like something has come out.
The slightest movement in the room reached his ears in the darkness, especially the increasingly unrestrained sounds of those disgusting crawling insects. Yuan Chen's palms were sweating, and he felt extremely disgusted.
He wanted to run away...
But he could only stand there, enduring the foreign sensation of cockroaches crawling all over his body.
His nephew knows how to punish him.
Damn it.
Yuan Chen's bloodshot eyes were filled with resentment.
They dare to treat him like that? Just you wait and see!
don't want……
When he sensed the unusual movement coming from his face, the resentment in his eyes turned into fear.
"Um--"
