Chapter 138 Guardian Spirit 6
Various thoughts quickly passed through Xie Yinian's mind, and Xie Yinian spoke softly, telling what he had encountered during this period.
However, in his narration, Yao Rong was not a female ghost, but a heavenly master.
The destroyed evil-repelling talisman in his pocket was given by her.
"Voluntary sacrifice formation?"
Xie Zuo was startled, as if he remembered something, raised his hand to hold Xie Yinian's wrist, and secretly explored Xie Yinian's bones.
Xie Yinian only felt a warm current from his wrist into his body, and then Xie Zuo let him go.
Xie Zuo's gaze on Xie Yinian became increasingly gentle: "Since you know the name of this formation, you should know what you will encounter in the next few days."
Xie Yinian's expression was solemn: "The female Heavenly Master who saved me told me."
Xie Zuo introduced: "In this world, the vast majority are ordinary people, and only a very small number of people can cultivate to become Heavenly Masters."
"However, due to the limitations of the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth and their own qualifications, many Heavenly Masters have mediocre strength and can only do the simplest work of exorcising evil spirits and fortune-telling."
"Therefore, some people with ulterior motives take risks and even have the idea of raising ghosts and seizing the fruits of others' cultivation. We call these scum hidden in the Heavenly Master world evil Heavenly Masters."
Xie Yinian listened with relish.
His understanding of the world of Heavenly Masters came from the fragments of Zhang Tianshi and Yao Rong's words, without any systematic learning.
Xie Zuo's words were common sense to Xie Chuan, but it was the first time Xie Yinian had heard of them.
"You mean, that Zhang Tianshi is an evil Heavenly Master?"
Xie Zuo said, "That's right. Once this formation is completed, as long as that evil Heavenly Master is still alive, he will definitely not let you go."
After saying this, Xie Zuo smiled slightly, waiting for Xie Yinian to panic and ask him for help. At that time, he could say that he would protect Xie Yinian, and then take Xie Yinian back to the Xie family.
An orphan, after seeing the wealth of the Xie family, he took the opportunity to propose to take Xie Yinian as his apprentice and teach Xie Yinian Taoism. When Xie Yinian is older, he will choose a girl from the Xie family's side branch to marry Xie Yinian, so that Xie Yinian will not be unfaithful to the Xie family.
In fact, Xie Yinian's roots are too good. With
such good roots, even Xie Chuan, a talented person in the Xie family, is inferior to him. Since he has met him, Xie Zuo cannot let the Xie family miss him.
It's a pity that Xie Yinian is sixteen this year.
It's a bit late to start practicing at the age of sixteen.
For example, Xie Chuan has been enlightened by reading Taoist scriptures since he was a child.
After waiting for a while, Xie Zuo did not wait for Xie Yinian's help.
Xie Yinian frowned slightly, and seemed to be distracted.
Xie Zuo coughed softly.
Xie Yinian came back to his senses and asked hurriedly: "Master Tianshi, what should we do?"
Xie Zuo felt that Xie Yinian's understanding was not high enough, but Xie Yinian asked, so Xie Zuo had to take the initiative and said: "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no thousand days to guard against thieves."
"If you don't mind, I can take you to my family for a while. After we catch the evil Tianshi, you can come out."
Xie Yinian was a little tempted.
Xie Zuo saw his intention and smiled more gently: "Do you know the Tianshi League? This is the official Tianshi organization organized by the state."
"I am a member of the Tianshi League. You are the victim of the case. Since we have met, it is not a big deal to vacate an empty room to accommodate you for a few days."
Xie Yinian was about to say something when the mobile phone on the pillow suddenly lit up.
He glanced at it with his peripheral vision and saw that it was a WeChat message from Yao Rong. He smiled apologetically at Xie Zuo and quickly picked up the phone.
[Yao: Don't go to Xie's house]
Xie Yinian looked around quietly, suspecting that Ms. Yao was hiding in this room, otherwise why would she suddenly send a message at this juncture.
If Ms. Yao was really in the room, it means that the two Heavenly Masters did not notice her presence from beginning to end...
There is no doubt that these two Heavenly Masters look powerful, but in fact they are no match for Ms. Yao.
Fortunately, he was cautious enough and was a grateful person. He did not betray Ms. Yao just now, otherwise he would be in danger now.
You have to hug the thick thighs, and the boss has already spoken, how can he object? Xie Yinian put down his phone and said to Xie Zuo, "Master Tianshi, thank you for your kindness, but the Tianshi who saved me before sent me a message and asked me to stay with her for the time being."
Xie Zuo's expression did not change, and he just smiled and said, "I wonder when that Taoist friend will come?"
Xie Yinian answered honestly, "I don't know either."
As an elder of the Xie family, Xie Zuo also has his pride. Since he was rejected now, he had to put aside his intention to recruit him for the time being.
Xie Chuan suddenly said, "That Taoist friend looks very young, but I know almost all the young people in the Tianshi world who are outstanding, but I have never heard of such a person."
Xie Yinian's back was covered with cold sweat, and he looked at Xie Chuan again.
He leaned on the bed, Xie Chuan stood beside the bed, one looked up, the other looked down, they looked almost the same age, but their auras were very different.
Especially Xie Chuan's expression and behavior were extremely calm, this kind of self-confidence like a proud son of heaven, which was soaked in the fine clothes and food for many years, made Xie Yinian feel uneasy.
Xie Yinian subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes and looked miserable.
Without waiting for Xie Yinian's organization to speak, Xie Zuo on the side waved his hand to smooth things over: "What's so strange about this?"
"In the world of Heavenly Masters, the most famous are the ten major families and sixteen Taoist temples, but in addition to these families and Taoist temples, there are many Heavenly Masters who have not come out of the world. It is normal for them to privately cultivate excellent successors."
"You haven't seen him now, but you may meet him in the Heavenly Master Competition in two years."
Xie Chuan nodded, but didn't say anything else.
As a criminal policeman, Jiang Guang turned his head and looked at Xie Zuo: "Master Xie Zuo, about this evil Heavenly Master..."
Two years ago, their First Brigade of the Criminal Police Detachment had handled a serial murder case, which was committed by an evil Heavenly Master. In order to capture the evil Heavenly Master, the First Brigade and the Heavenly Master Alliance suffered heavy casualties.
Right now, there is another evil master in their city. This is really...
Xie Zuo assured: "Don't worry, Officer Jiang, I will report this to the Tianshi League. With the Tianshi League and the Xie family, we will not let that evil Tianshi succeed."
After asking almost all the questions, Xie Zuo and the other two left without staying for long.
Jiang Guang ordered his subordinates guarding the door: "If that female Tianshi comes to the hospital to visit Xie Yinian, notify me immediately."
Xie Zuo and Xie Chuan said goodbye to Jiang Guang and sat in the back seat of the car.
Xie Chuan put his right hand on his knee and sat upright: "Uncle, you seem to be very optimistic about Xie Yinian."
Xie Zuo said: "You are young and may not understand the voluntary sacrifice formation."
Xie Zuo told Xie Chuan the content of the voluntary sacrifice formation. In order to avoid worrying Xie Chuan, Xie Zuo said vaguely: "I have checked his physique. He has good qualifications and he is an orphan, so he is worthy of being recruited by our Xie family."
Fourteen years ago, a large number of powerful people in the Xie family died because of the Yinsha Land.
And because of the chaos in the family, a large number of powerful people died.
Now, although the Xie family is still among the top ten families, its strength is no longer as strong as before.
His nephew Xie Chuan is very talented, but he cannot support the family alone. The prosperity of a family does not depend on only one person. Moreover, their branch is now in power, but there are still many people left in the branch of the former patriarch.
Those people have never been very obedient to Xie Chuan's father.
If the Xie family had not suffered a great loss of strength and could not withstand continued internal friction, Xie Chuan's father and Xie Zuo would never have let them live until now.
If we can subdue Xie Yinian and train him well now, Xie Chuan will be able to add a helping hand in the future.
Xie Chuan naturally understood Xie Zuo's intention. He said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with what Xie Yinian said. He should be hiding something."
"It's just that I just thought about it for a long time, and I don't know what he hid and why he hid it."
Xie Zuo rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Forget it. The most important thing now is to catch the evil master."
"I have reported the matter of the evil master, and the Tianshi League will send someone to assist us in the investigation later."
***
Xie Yinian was lying on the hospital bed, not sleepy at all.
He first called the dean.
When the call was connected, the dean was indeed anxious: "It's just to pay a fee and buy a meal, why did you take so long?"
Xie Yinian certainly couldn't tell the truth to the dean.
After comforting the dean and finding an excuse, Xie Yinian finally got over the matter.
He put down his phone, feeling guilty.
If it weren't for him, how could the dean fall down the stairs and how could Zhuzi be possessed by a ghost.
The more Xie Yinian thought about it, the more depressed he became. Fortunately, Zhuzi and Xia Ziqian in the next bed woke up at this time.
Xie Yinian quickly pressed the phone to call the doctor and nurse.
The doctor examined Zhuzi and Xia Ziqian and said that there was nothing serious, but they were still a little weak.
As soon as the doctor and nurse left, Jiang Guang brought his subordinates in to take notes from Zhuzi and Xia Ziqian.
Zhuzi and Xia Ziqian didn't remember what had just happened. They even wondered how they ended up lying here.
Zhuzi said, "I was getting food from the cafeteria on the second floor, and when I woke up, I was in this ward."
Xia Ziqian also said, "I was peeling fruit for my mother in the ward. Police comrade, what happened?"
Jiang Guang couldn't get any useful clues from them, so he put down his pen and said, "It's nothing serious, don't worry."
"Then we won't bother you. You all have a good rest. In the next few days, remember to get enough sun for four hours every day, and always wear the talisman on your body."
The two then discovered that they had stacked triangular talismans in their arms.
They sent the police away in a daze.
Zhuzi looked at Xie Yinian who woke up first: "Nian Zi, you woke up before us, do you know what happened?"
Since the police had no intention of revealing anything, Xie Yinian certainly would not reveal it: "I just woke up a little earlier than you, how would I know."
Zhuzi muttered: "They also gave us a talisman, it can't be a curse."
Xie Yinian forced a smile, worried that they would not take the police's words to heart, and reminded them again: "Since the police asked you to bask in the sun, you'd better do as the police said."
Both Zhuzi and Xia Ziqian agreed with this.
Zhuzi asked, "Have you visited the dean?"
"Yes. I called her just after I woke up."
"That's good, otherwise we'd been out for too long and the dean would be worried."
The two chatted about their recent situation. Zhuzi took a breath and said, "It's so strange. I feel so weak and can't muster up any energy."
How could there be no sequelae after being possessed by a ghost? Xie Yinian urged him to go downstairs and bask in the sun.
Zhuzi nodded, "Okay, I'll go downstairs and take a walk. Nianzi, do you want to come with me?"
Xie Yinian didn't dare to go into the crowd casually: "The police asked you two to bask in the sun, not me. Go ahead, I'll lie down for a while, and then I'll go back."
Soon, Xie Yinian was the only one left in the ward.
He looked left and right, wanting to know if Ms. Yao was hiding in the ward. Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out.
He took out his mobile phone and said pitifully: [Ms. Yao, Senior Yao, will I be in danger if I step out of the ward now?]
Yao Rong replied almost immediately: [Just walk out with a swagger.]
Seeing Yao Rong's promise, Xie Yinian instantly became energetic.
He went downstairs to pay the three-day hospitalization fee to the dean, and sent a message to Zhuzi, asking Zhuzi to take good care of the dean. He scanned a shared bicycle and pedaled it very fast.
As soon as he opened the door to the basement, Xie Yinian saw a familiar figure: "Ms. Yao!"
Yao Rong folded his arms, leaned against the wall, and smiled at him.
For some reason, Xie Yinian's eyes were hot.
He whispered, "Thank you for saving me."
Yao Rong walked up to him and stuffed a newly drawn and folded talisman into his pocket, then took out the amulet given by Xie Zuo and held it between her fingers: "The amulet is useful for those two people, but not much use to you. Xie Zuo is still the same as before."
Xie Yinian asked sharply: "Do you know that great master?"
Yao Rong glanced at him, her tone unable to tell whether she was happy or angry: "You are so young, and you dare to ask questions from me."
Xie Yinian chuckled, knowing that she was not angry: "I just asked casually."
"Xie Zuo and I are of the same generation." Yao Rong didn't want to mention those old things, so she asked with narrowed eyes, "Why didn't you tell the Xie family about my existence?"
Xie Yinian was embarrassed for a moment.
He pursed his lips and said seriously: "You have saved me twice. I don't understand any great principles, but I do understand that you can't repay kindness with enmity."
Yao Rong asked again: "Then do you know that if you had followed Xie Zuo just now, you could have become a disciple of the Xie family? The Xie family is one of the top ten families in the Tianshi world, and it is a family that holds an elder seat in the Tianshi League."
Xie Yinian said: "But you asked me not to go to the Xie family."
His matter-of-fact look made Yao Rong even happier: "I asked you not to go, and you didn't go?"
"Yes." Xie Yinian said earnestly, "I know that when I talked to them, you must have been hiding in the dark and watching, but they didn't notice your presence from beginning to end."
Yao Rong narrowed his eyes slightly: "It turns out that they just think I am better than them and dare not offend me."
Xie Yinian dared not admit it, and said: "Those two heavenly masters at most took me back to the family, but they could not take care of me all the time, and there would always be times of negligence. But you are different. You are willing to protect my safety, and I have promised to run errands and serve you. If I go to the Xie family, I will not be able to fulfill my promise."
Although he said this to please Yao Rong, Xie Yinian also felt that this was the truth.
Yao Rong was not easy to fool: "Don't you want to practice Taoism and become a disciple of the Xie family? That is a big family that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the family has a very deep foundation."
Xie Yinian said clearly: "You said two days ago that you are willing to teach me and guide me to become a heavenly master. As for the Xie family, I have no intention of clinging to them."
"I grew up in an orphanage since I was a child, and later I was adopted by a wealthy family. There are too many small thoughts in big families. As a person who grew up in an orphanage, I don't know how to weigh the pros and cons, and I always feel too tired."
"Besides, the more the Xie family invests in me, the more they want to get in return from me. If you can avoid owing favors to others, it's better not to owe them."
Yao Rong raised her hand, and under Xie Yinian's surprised gaze, she placed her cold palm on Xie Yinian's head and patted it gently.
This was the first time Xie Yinian and Yao Rong had come into contact.
The inescapable cold air emanated from Yao Rong's palm, but he felt a little warm out of thin air.
"You're not stupid." Yao Rong asked with a smile, "Are you tired?"
Xie Yinian shook his head.
Yao Rong put down her hand: "Then come with me later."
"Okay, where are you going?"
"To solve the hidden danger for you."
Among the many words Xie Zuo said, there was one sentence that she still recognized.
It takes a thousand days to be a thief, but it takes a thousand days to guard against thieves.
Even if she is in a spirit body now, it is impossible for her to stay by Xie Yinian's side all the time. If she wants to ensure Xie Yinian's safety, the best way is to get rid of Zhang Tianshi.
