Chapter 14 (Revised)



Jing Cheng read the first few posts carefully and was extremely surprised. Could it be that all Taoists nowadays are controlled by this organization called "Taoist Association"?

To catch ghosts you need a Taoist certificate, what is that?

Jing Cheng recalled the various certificates that Assistant Wang had re-processed for him a few days ago, which filled up his wallet. Then he looked at the Taoist certificate and guessed that it was probably something similar to an ID card?

It seems that modern people have a lot of troubles! Jing Cheng sighed as he watched, thinking back to when their Heavenly Masters and Magicians were traveling around the world, they were always invincible and no one dared to stop them... Of course, he was an exception.

Jing Cheng slid his finger down and saw that the posts below were either requests for support for monsters or ghosts from all over the place, or experience posts on how to quickly pass the Taoist exam in a short period of time. There were also some posts marked "rational discussion" but in the end the discussion turned into a quarrel of words for no apparent reason... Jing Cheng was amazed.

As his fingertips slid to the end, a post marked with Shangjing City caught his attention.

[Strange News from Beijing] What happened to Nanming Middle School? Has anyone investigated it?

Main post: Let me make it clear first that the content of this post is copied from the "Shangjing City Strange News Forum". The author has not verified the truth yet, so I'll put it here first. If you fellow Taoists have any solutions, please let me know. Thank you very much!

Here's what happened. Last year, a store called "Jieyou Xiaopu" (the most popular online celebrity store recently) opened near Nanming Middle School. The store specializes in selling various talismans and small ornaments that young people like. There are many kinds of talismans, such as "a series of talismans for exams", "peach blossom talismans", "anti-villain talismans", "curse talismans", "appetite-increasing talismans"... In short, there is nothing you can't see, only what you can't think of!

At first everyone thought it was a joke and not many people paid attention to it. Later, students from the nearby Nanming Middle School bought some to test and found them to be very effective. Word spread from one person to another and the store became popular.

...

...

Nanming Middle School is a private aristocratic closed school. What many people don’t know is that since March this year, one horrific incident after another has occurred in the school, the most representative of which is the successive deaths of students and teachers.

This is not sensational fake news, but something that is really happening around us!

Without any warning, everyone seemed to have discussed it beforehand. Some jumped into the lake, some cut their wrists, some were hit to death by falling flower pots, some broke their necks in wrestling, and some died in fights between classmates... The deaths were extremely tragic!

In a closed school, outsiders are not allowed to enter at will, which largely rules out the possibility of homicide. After investigation, the school found that these people had been "cursed" before they died, and the person who "cursed" them used the talisman from the Worry-Relieving Shop...

At this point, you may not believe it. Although some of these people committed suicide, the vast majority of them died accidentally. So no one can guarantee that these accidents are definitely related to the talismans in the Worry-Solving Shop, right?

However, a few days ago, a buyer went to the store to make trouble, saying that her husband bought a piece of jade dug out from a dead person’s grave in the Jieyou shop. After her son wore the jade, he got three corpse worms in his stomach. If she hadn’t met a kind master in the hospital, her little son would have almost died!

As for what the three corpse worms are, you can look it up yourself if you have brains, so I don't need to waste my words here.

In short, this "Solving Problems Shop" is quite evil. As to whether the successive deaths of students in Nanming Middle School have anything to do with it, no one knows.

The author's opinion: I personally think that the talismans in this worry-solving shop should be related to the witch family's exorcism technique, but the author has not studied it in depth, so it is difficult to jump to conclusions.

1L: What is Jieyou Shop? Never heard of it.

2L: The Taoist friends above don’t go online, right? Jieyou Shop is a very popular online shop on Weibo. Many young people buy talismans here to pray for wealth and romance. The younger generation in my family who are studying once bought a "Talisman for Passing Every Exam" in the shop, which is quite spiritual.

3L: Nonsense, the Wu family's magic of exorcism has long been lost, there is no reason why it would suddenly appear in recent years, I think this is an accident! As for the so-called three corpse worms, they are simply parasites in the body of children who eat unhygienic seafood on the roadside, right? I am a doctor in my secular profession, I know this very well.

4L: If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand! Who said that the art of Yan Sheng has been lost? There are Taoist friends around me who practice the "Lu Ban Jing" and are very good at the art of Yan Sheng. Don't take it for granted!

20L: Okay, okay, stop arguing. There has been unrest in all regions of the country recently, especially around the dragon veins. An elder in our sect who is good at divination just made a divination and said that a master has appeared in Shangjing City, so there is no need to worry.

21L: The master appeared in the world? Is it related to the strange phenomenon that appeared in Taiyin Mountain a few days ago?

22L: I don’t know. I’m in Shangjing. Where is the expert? Could it be that some family has a talented youngster? I remember that the Zhang family currently resides in Shangjing, right?

23L: Don't talk nonsense! What's the difference between a master and a non-master! If you rely on masters for everything, what do we Taoists do? Is the purpose of your cultivation to seek help from masters when you encounter problems?

24L: I am really impressed! Even in this kind of forum, you can still find nitpickers... Forget it, let's stop arguing and go to bed.

After reading the long post, Jing Cheng's eyes began to ache.

He pinched his brows, turned off the bedside lamp, turned off his cell phone and threw it aside, then lay on his back in bed, thinking.

It was a little difficult for him to read simplified Chinese characters, but he was not unable to understand them. The "buyers" mentioned in the post should be Xiaohui's family whom he met in the hospital. As for the strange vision that appeared in Taiyin Mountain, it should be the strange vision caused when he came to this world, which is what modern people often call "time travel".

Then isn't he the "expert" they are talking about?

Jing Cheng quite agreed in his heart, he had always believed that he was the best in the world of Heavenly Masters, but unfortunately people in his time did not have the insight to discover his shining points, which made him even more depressed (……).

He clicked on the post after seeing "Nanming Middle School" because Brother Jing had said before that he would be transferred to a new school, Nanming Middle School, and they were processing the relevant procedures for him recently. After being discharged from the hospital, he would not stay at home for a few days before going to school, because Yuan Jingcheng was in his third year of high school this year and would finish his middle school life in one year.

Nanming Middle School is an aristocratic private school, and its students are either rich or noble. They receive an education method that is very different from that of ordinary middle schools. Most of them do not need to take the college entrance examination. As a "transfer student", Jing Cheng only needs to pay enough money to get in. It is more like a training base for the descendants of wealthy families than a school.

Jing Cheng was initially quite curious about this because he had been holding a pen and drawing symbols since he could speak, and his family had taught him to read and write. He himself had never been to a private school, so to him, both "studying" and "classmates" were new.

But now it seems that school may not be a good place...

As he was thinking about this, Jing Cheng felt sleepy and slowly fell asleep.

.

Late at night, in a small room.

The dim moonlight shone through the rusty screen window into the furnishings inside. In the dark and quiet little house, there was only a shabby iron bed and a large wooden cabinet with peeling paint. The table and the floor were covered with messy garbage, and a faint sour smell filled every corner of the house.

After a while, a hunched figure slowly entered the room. He ignored the dirt in the room and slowly squatted down. He took out a box from under the bed, opened it, and took out the things inside.

As if he had thought of something, the figure was very excited. He breathed heavily, anxiously took out a transparent bag from his arms and opened it carefully.

The moonlight shone on the bag in the visitor's hand, and there were a few strands of hair that were neither long nor short.

After a while, strange laughter was heard in the cabin.

Jing Cheng got up early the next morning.

When he came back yesterday, he found that the feng shui of this community was excellent.

First of all, this community is located on the dragon vein, surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful scenery, birds singing and flowers blooming everywhere, and a vibrant scene. Jing Cheng even felt refreshed and warm in his heart as soon as he entered the community yesterday, which shows that this is a "sentient yang house".

What is a "sentient house"? A sentimental house is a place that can touch people's hearts and make people feel beautiful and excited when they come here.

Later, when Jing Cheng was "observing the qi", he found that there was a faint purple qi rising slowly above the community, which meant that the people living here must be people with a successful official career or a wealthy and powerful family.

Later, Jing Cheng found out that this community was a well-known wealthy area in Shangjing City, where even an inch of land and a diamond were hard to buy.

For Jing Cheng at the moment, this was a rare and good place to cultivate his body and mind, so he decided to get up early for morning exercises.

At dawn, Jing Cheng, wearing a white sportswear, was jogging along the track in the community while practicing breathing.

There are quite a few people who get up early in the community, but most of them are elderly people with half-white hair. They are all in good spirits. Some of them are practicing boxing, some are dancing, and some are singing songs, and they are having a great time.

Jing Cheng watched for a while and saw that an old man was practicing Tai Chi with incorrect posture, so he couldn't help but walk over and correct him.

"If you don't practice relaxation when practicing boxing, it will all be in vain! The most important thing in practicing Tai Chi is to 'use your mind without using force', to be relaxed but not slack, and to combine hardness and softness! Your punches are so powerful, how can there be any charm of Tai Chi?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present stopped what they were doing and looked at Jing Cheng with sharp eyes.

Jing Cheng was unaware of anything and still stubbornly looked at the old man in the center of the crowd with an expression that said, "What I say is absolutely right, you have to listen to me."

He had not received modern education, and did not have the concept of "respecting the old and loving the young" in his mind. However, if we talk about "respecting the old", the people present are at most 70 or 80 years old, and he is an old monster from a hundred years ago, and no one is "older" than him. If we talk about "loving the young", everyone present looks older than him, and he looks the youngest.

The old man stopped and looked back at him. There was no sign of being offended on his face. Instead, he said with interest, "It's just talk without practice. Why don't you show us some tricks to open our eyes?"

"..." Jing Cheng thought, I didn't expect you guys to teach me by example? What a good plan, will I be fooled so easily?

Half an hour later, Jing Cheng stopped.

He let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The few audience members in the venue cheered and applauded warmly.

Jing Cheng: “…” I’m not a street performer.

The old man looked at him with admiration and said, "Good boy, which family are you from?"

Jing Chengshen felt that he had made a fool of himself and was about to turn around to deal with the matter perfunctorily, but he accidentally discovered that a blue-black aura suddenly rose from the old man's forehead, and his originally rosy complexion instantly dimmed.

He was startled and couldn't help blurting out: "Curse!"

The author has something to say:

Assistant Wang: I have no name, a man living in the background.

Qin Yan: You are so beautiful, I haven’t appeared in several chapters!

Thank you very much for the mines and nutrient solution from the two little cuties! O(∩_∩)O
