Sichuan Medical University.
In the study room.
Ji Miaomiao was flipping through a thick encyclopedia of Chinese herbal medicine and taking notes attentively.
At this time, it had been almost half a month since she left the Liu family. Lu Xiaobai said that he would contact her if there was any follow-up information, but he never called.
After a long time, Ji Miaomiao could only put this matter behind her and concentrate on studying every day.
There are still many students in the school study room every day, but it is very quiet and very suitable for reading and reviewing.
Ji Miaomiao's efficiency in memorizing things here would be much faster. By ten o'clock in the evening, she had already finished reading a small part of the Chinese herbal medicine encyclopedia in her hand. Of course, her eyes were a little sore.
She looked at the time and saw that it was getting late, so she closed the book in her hand, put it in her backpack, and got up to leave the study room.
Back to the dormitory.
The three roommates were chatting about the upcoming National Day holiday.
"Everywhere is crowded during the holidays. I will stay at home for a few days when I go back. I won't go out again even if you kill me." Jiang Zhuzhu was chewing a bag of chicken feet, complaining about the large number of people during the holidays.
Bao Guoer sat on a chair hugging a pillow, smiling brightly, "It's so boring to stay at home after finally getting a vacation. Our adventure club is having an event, does anyone want to join us?"
Jia Shuwan rolled her eyes and asked doubtfully, "Where is your club planning to go on an adventure?"
"Our club president said he's going on an adventure to an abandoned house in the suburbs. He's even chartered a bus for two days and one night. It sounds like a lot of fun. Do you want to join us?"
"I don't want to. I want to go home for a few days to rest and relax." Jiang Zhuzhu shook her head and refused.
"Shu Wan?"
"Neither can I. I'm timid and can't handle this." Jia Shuwan pushed her glasses and waved her hand to reject Bao Guoer's invitation.
Bao Guoer sighed, then looked up and saw Ji Miaomiao who had just returned from outside. She quickly said, "Miaomiao, do you want to go on an adventure with our club during your vacation? It's so much fun."
Ji Miaomiao put down her backpack and looked up to see Bao Guoer looking at her with burning eyes. She smiled embarrassedly and explained, "Guoer, I have to go home during the holidays and can't go with you."
During the holiday, she planned to stay in the Taoist temple for a few days and ask her master Daoming Zhenren about what happened with the Liu family. So she definitely couldn't go out exploring with Bao Guoer.
"Okay, I'll go by myself. It would be a waste of opportunity if you don't go." Bao Guoer sighed, supporting his chin.
Ji Miaomiao didn't say anything after hearing this. She took the basin and towel to the bathroom to wash up. The lights in the school were turned off at 10:30, and she didn't come back early today, so she needed to hurry.
Sure enough, when she came back after washing up, she saw that the lights in the dormitory suddenly went out.
Seeing this, the people in the dormitory went back to their beds in the dark to rest and stopped chatting.
A few days later.
The school officially announced the holiday notice, and the student dormitory building became empty for a while, with most of the people gone.
Ji Miaomiao is leaving too.
She packed her things, put on her backpack, and said goodbye to Bao Guoer, the only one who still stayed in the dormitory: "Guoer, I'm leaving. Goodbye."
Bao Guoer was in her pajamas and about to go wash up. Upon hearing this, she covered her mouth and yawned, saying in a daze, "Okay, Miaomiao, goodbye."
Seeing this, Ji Miaomiao smiled, turned around and left the dormitory briskly.
The mountain is still as quiet as ever, and the leaves are shaking with a rustling sound.
CRACK——
Ji Miaomiao pushed open the door of the Taoist temple and shouted inside with a smile: "Master, I'm back."
The sound echoed in the Taoist temple for a moment, and there was no other sound.
"No one's here?"
She walked into the Taoist temple, took a look around, and then returned to the front hall, muttering to herself in confusion.
In front of the Three Pure Ones statue, three sandalwood sticks burned in the incense burner, and the green smoke curled up into the air and dissipated. Ji Miaomiao saw that there was still a small piece of sandalwood left, and guessed that it must have been lit that morning.
"It should be going down the mountain."
Thinking of her master's habit of burning incense before going down the mountain, she came to this conclusion.
At this time, the sun was hanging right overhead, and the open space in the front hall was terribly hot without any shelter.
Ji Miaomiao was also feeling a little hot, so she didn't stay in the front hall for long and went to the backyard.
She put her backpack in her room and went into the kitchen to make something to eat.
There is a tall cypress tree in the backyard that is as thick as a man's embrace. Cicadas are chirping constantly in the tree. The stone table and stone benches under the tree are very cool to sit on.
Ji Miaomiao brought out a bowl of stewed rice and placed it on the stone table. She sat on a stone stool and ate slowly. After eating, she cleaned up the dishes.
When he came out again and sat on the stone bench, he was holding a booklet in his hand.
The booklet had a blue cover and a white background. It was the basic cultivation manual that Taoist Master Daoquan had given her when she met him before.
Ji Miaomiao opened the book under the shade of a tree and read it page by page.
Once she started reading, she couldn't stop. She found that the things recorded in this booklet were very practical. They were all Taoist methods that were not difficult to use, including those for investigation, cleaning, fighting against enemies, and so on.
Ji Miaomiao's cultivation has now entered her body, and with the help of the Qi Gathering Pill and the external force of the Spiritual Warm Jade, the clear energy running in her body is no longer thin.
However, she knew very little about Taoism, and even though she had cultivation skills, she didn't know how to use them. The little Taoist techniques recorded in this booklet were undoubtedly a timely help, just enough to fill the gaps in her current practice.
Ji Miaomiao held the booklet in her hands, reading and gesturing at the same time. The clear energy condensed at her fingertips and made various changes. Time passed by unknowingly.
When the sun sets and the sky darkens, the moon slowly rises again, and the cold white moonlight pours into the backyard.
Ji Miaomiao, who was sitting on the stone bench, stood up, her hand gestures changing like the wind, and she shouted softly: "Heavenly thunder, help me, drive away the evil, hurry up and obey the command."
