The next day after solving Xiaohui's problem, Jing Cheng asked Assistant Wang, who was sent by his father to look after him, to buy the tools for drawing talismans - brushes, talisman paper and cinnabar. Assistant Wang did not ask him why he bought these things, but quietly prepared everything he needed.
Really a very professional person.
So every night from 9pm to 1am, Jing Cheng would stay in the ward and draw talismans.
As a Taoist priest, drawing talismans is a necessary task and one must not slack off for even a day.
Because drawing talismans is not a simple matter, if you are not careful, it will be ruined, not only wasting talisman paper and cinnabar, but more importantly, consuming essence. In order to increase the success rate of talismans, Jing Cheng usually chooses the best time - from the evening of Hai to the next day, which is the time when Yang disappears and Yin grows, and when Yin and Yang intersect. It is the time when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the heaviest, followed by noon, Mao and You.
In order to avoid triggering strange visions, Jingcheng only drew the simplest and most commonly used talismans: such as amulets for protection, talismans for warding off evil and talismans for warding off evil.
That day, Jing Cheng used the Po Filth Talisman to remove the three corpse worms from Xiao Hui. The Po Filth Talisman is also called the Removal Talisman, and its original name is the Nine Phoenix Po Filth Talisman. When this talisman is burned and dissolved in water, it can produce the Nine Phoenix Po Filth Water. This Nine Phoenix Po Filth Water is a basic Taoist internal cultivation magic that can remove all diseases and prevent all evil. Of course, this "hundreds of diseases" does not refer to any disease, but to diseases caused by "evil spirits".
In the early days, if someone in an ancient family got a strange disease due to an evil spirit, a passing Taoist priest would bring a bowl of Nine Phoenix Water to the host. If the host drank all the water, the disease would be cured. Perhaps it was too strange, and people who did not know the truth spread rumors, and gradually there was a saying among the people that "a bowl of water can cure all diseases", which means that no matter what disease it is, a bowl of water from a Taoist priest can cure it. Many charlatans and wild Taoist priests smelled business opportunities and used this as a cover to swindle and kill many innocent people. What's worse, some folk rebel organizations, such as the Yellow Turban Army and the White Lotus Sect, used this to win the hearts of the people... As a result, when people later saw someone using water to cure a disease, they said that the other party was a liar who harmed people.
Because of this, Jing Cheng was often misunderstood when he was traveling around the world. Fortunately, his skills were strong enough, so even though he was notorious and everyone wanted him to be killed, he was able to survive until now.
In theory, anyone who is called "Heavenly Master", such as Zhang Daoling, Zhong Kui, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, Yang Yunsong, etc., is a person of high moral character and respect. The ancestor of the Jing family also practiced the Taoism of Heavenly Master and was quite famous during his lifetime, so the descendants of the Jing family can also be respected as Heavenly Masters by the outside world.
...
...
As for why Jing Cheng has such a bad reputation, it all starts with his fate.
Jing Cheng was born with an incomplete soul and spirit, and was born in a yin time. His body was pure yin, and he was full of yin energy, like a living dead. If he was born in an ordinary family, he would be destined to die young, but Jing Cheng was born in a family of heavenly masters, so there was still a chance.
Jing Cheng's parents were eager to protect their son, so they asked the then patriarch of the Jing family to change his fate. The patriarch took pity on Jing Cheng's young age, and because Jing Cheng had a pure yin body, he could communicate with spirits and ghosts, and was a good candidate for Taoism, so he agreed... But Jing Cheng's parents paid the price of their lives for it, because changing fate was an act against heaven, not to mention changing a fate that was "destined to die young", which was equivalent to bringing the dead back to life. Afterwards, even the patriarch of the Jing family aged more than ten years and entered the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" prematurely.
To change one's fate against the will of heaven is equivalent to exchanging one life for another, but Jing Cheng could replace three lives with one life. This kind of people are either very lucky or very unlucky. Seeing that he had killed three people in a row and unable to figure out his fate, the Jing family unanimously believed that he was the reincarnation of a star of misfortune. So not long after the head of the family passed away, the elders jointly expelled Jing Cheng from the ancestral hall and expelled him from the family.
Jing Cheng was fearless, as the master of the family warned him before his death to help the poor and cultivate merit, and not to use magic to make money unless absolutely necessary. This was the path that a heavenly master should uphold, and it was also the karma that he should redeem.
Therefore, the Jing family's attitude of "not leaving the mountains in troubled times" is not suitable for him at all.
When Jingcheng "came out of the mountains", he was young and ignorant, hated evil and could not tolerate injustice, and offended many wealthy families.
But he was extremely talented and had superb means. As the saying goes, "The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit", but he was unwilling to go along with his "peers". Many of his "peers" disliked him and, since they could not find ways to trip him up, they would ruin his reputation everywhere.
When Jing Cheng was young, he had his own set of rules for distinguishing "good from evil". Not only did he "deal different things to different people", he also liked to meddle in other people's affairs: if he saw a local tycoon who was rich but unkind, he would make him lose money; if he met a troublemaker who was making trouble for money, he would also make him suffer bad luck.
——This resulted in everyone, whether rich or poor, being annoyed by him.
As a result, Jing Cheng had enemies everywhere when he traveled around the world. Sometimes, he would be chased for ten blocks with rotten eggs. He had to sleep in the open all day long, living a life worse than a dog...
As a heavenly master whose mission is to "save the world", it is a rare wonder in history that he is ostracized to such an extent by the world.
Later he learned his lesson and acted much more low-key, thus avoiding the miserable life of having to be on guard all the time and being put in a sack on the street corner.
At this time, Jing Cheng, sitting in a luxury car called "Maybach", was looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window. The rows of majestic and magnificent buildings reached into the sky, and the streets were bustling with people and traffic.
Jing Cheng sighed deeply, looking melancholy.
The driver accidentally glanced at the rearview mirror: "..."
The driver Xiao Wang is the Jing family's personal driver. Because of some company matters, Jing Rong completed the discharge procedures for his brother, sent him to the car, and left early.
God knows how shocked he was when he saw Jing Cheng coming out of the hospital today! In his impression, the second young master Jing always had colorful hair covering half of his face, a gloomy expression, and ignored everyone - but he didn't expect that after changing his hair color and lifting his hair, he was like a different person.
No one could believe that the melancholy prince in front of them was the troublemaker Second Young Master Jing of the Jing family.
The driver was amazed in his heart. He saw Jing Cheng frowning through the rearview mirror and couldn't help asking, "Second Master, are you worried about something?"
Jing Cheng came back to his senses and said blankly: "You say... can everyone accept me now?" After all, he is not the original Jing Cheng, and he always feels like he has taken advantage of him.
...In fact, he really got the upper hand.
What's the problem? Whether you accept it or not, aren't you still a legitimate young master of the Jing family?
It can't be that I'm homesick, right?
The driver looked at him in confusion and said, "Don't worry, Second Master. Your family will definitely welcome you back."
Jing Cheng was puzzled: "Really?" Is Yuan Jing Cheng very valued in the family? This is not an easy thing to do in such a complicated reconstituted family.
The driver said, "Ms. Jing Yue has been waiting for you at home today. Mr. Jing has booked a flight for the evening and will be home tomorrow. And the wife and the eldest son... everyone knows that you have memory problems and they are all very concerned about you."
Jing Cheng remained silent, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
He couldn't help but recall the slightly immature face he saw when he looked in the mirror for the first time a few days ago, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his chin.
I guess God couldn't stand this "weirdo" so much that he sent him to the future a hundred years later. Not only did he give him a home that could shelter him from the wind and rain, but he also looked several years younger... It seems that he must be the legendary man with great luck. The old Jing family a hundred years ago were so short-sighted!
I don't know where those old guys are living now. When he finds them, he can go and pay homage to them. I'm sure they would be very happy if they knew about it.
After thinking for a while, Jing Cheng stretched out his finger, slowly poked the phone, and posted his first circle of friends since he came to this world——
【It’s great to be alive［smile］】
Jing Cheng has a new cell phone, and he has also applied for a new cell phone number and WeChat ID. Currently, he has three friends in his circle of friends, one is Jing's father, and the other is Jing's elder brother. The first two were added to him by Assistant Wang, and the other is Qin Yan, whom he just added as a friend today.
Jing's father and Jing Rong don't check WeChat often, so naturally they don't pay attention to what he expresses.
Apart from Qin Yan who was still accompanying him in the hospital, he was boredly browsing WeChat, picking and replying to messages from classmates and friends, but accidentally saw Jing Cheng's circle of friends.
Qin Yan: “???”
He just added Jing Cheng's WeChat today. He originally wanted to get to know the other party by looking at the Moments, but he found that Jing Cheng's Moments were empty. There was no privacy setting that could be seen for three days or six months. It was cleaner than the bones that his Xue Meiniang had chewed. Oh, Xue Meiniang was a dog he raised at home.
The entire interface is filled with a big orange avatar with its teeth bared, and I don't know who it is mocking.
The feeling it gives people is... screwed.
What’s the big deal? It’s just adding WeChat, is there any need to use a small account?
This was the first time since Qin Yan was born that he tried to uphold justice but got such a result. He was depressed for once, but he didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events. The other party actually posted it on WeChat Moments!
So Qin Yan stared at the four words and the yellow-faced smiling expression on the screen with his eyes sharp, as if he could stare a flower out of it.
Ah! It turns out that he doesn’t use a smurf account, but he rarely posts on WeChat Moments…
Qin Yan put these four words in his mouth and chewed them carefully, savoring them again and again. In a short period of time, his thoughts were flying around - maybe he had posted on WeChat Moments before, but deleted it for some reason, which meant that he must be a person who pays great attention to privacy.
This is completely different from those people who post "head-changing" photos on WeChat Moments every day, post those seemingly plausible "love burial" quotes, and wish they could cut open their hearts for the whole world to see.
He was just discharged from the hospital today. Maybe he had some serious illness before, so he made such a sigh?
We are the same age...how can he be so cute?
Qin Yan curled his lips slightly, tapped the screen of his mobile phone, and gave Jing Cheng a thumbs up.
When the Qin family members arrived at the hospital, they saw their young master Qin, who always had a sullen face and acted like a big shot, actually smiling brightly at the phone, and they staggered immediately.
Is there something wrong with this kid's brain?
Seeing them, Qin Yan's face changed, and the spring spirit just now disappeared in an instant. He said with a sullen face: "Grandpa has been out of the emergency room for a long time, and you are just here!"
The gentlemen couldn't help feeling guilty. Before they came, they had heard the news that the old man was not seriously injured, so they dawdled for a while. Moreover, traffic jams were common in Beijing, and they didn't come late on purpose.
A younger member of the Qin family was secretly complaining: "How dare you say that to us? Grandpa is lying in there, and you are still smiling happily?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Yan suddenly stood up, crossed his arms, walked up to him, and stared at him.
The younger generation realized that he had just spoken out his true feelings. Sweat broke out on his forehead and he stammered, "...cousin."
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt as if the temperature around him had risen a lot, and the air was filled with a heat that could not be concealed.
Qin Yan snorted coldly, glanced at him coldly, said nothing, turned around and left.
Junior: “…”
No wonder his parents didn't let him and his brother play with Qin Yan, his cousin was so scary!
…
Jing Cheng stood at the gate of the villa and heard a sharp female voice yelling inside: "Pray! There will be no good days ahead!"
"I tell you—"
"That little bastard is coming back!"
"Is it surprising? Is it exciting?"
Jing Cheng: "..." Who is this talking about? It can't be him, right?
At this time, a servant walked up to him, looked at his expression, and said cautiously: "Second Young Master, don't worry about it. Miss Jingyue is still young and doesn't think before she speaks."
"Who are you saying is talking without thinking?" A little girl of about fourteen or fifteen came over aggressively, but when she saw Jing Cheng standing at the door, she stopped in her tracks and said in horror, "Second... Second brother? You're back!"
Jing Cheng narrowed his eyes, it turned out that he was really scolding him.
All the servants who were still working in the hall looked over. One of the women who was cleaning a vase suddenly had a tremor in her hand, and the vase fell to the ground and shattered with a bang.
Jing Cheng looked around at the crowd, his gaze sweeping across every pair of eyes in the hall, taking in their expressions of fear, uneasiness, disgust, or indifference.
Jing Cheng lowered his eyes and said "hmm" softly.
There was a lot of cursing going on inside the door, and a vase broke when I entered.
It's full of gossip and disputes.
It was a truly unique welcome ceremony.
