What did you see?
Zhang Yongnian noticed my expression and quickly came to my side to ask me in a low voice.
I whispered what I had seen into Zhang Yongnian's ear, and Zhang Yongnian frowned slightly.
"How is that possible? He doesn't have that kind of aura!"
Zhang Yongnian stared at Lao Cao's body several times, and even touched him.
But the final conclusion was that Lao Cao had no problems whatsoever.
"Master, what did you just discover?"
Old Cao, like Maitreya Buddha, wore a smiling expression, looking quite kind.
But the more amiable he appears, the more vigilant I become; perhaps his amiability is just a facade.
"Let me examine your body again!"
I took a deep breath and thought to myself, maybe I was just too nervous and my third eye saw things wrong.
After all, he had only recently opened his Heavenly Eye and was not yet proficient in using the Amano technique, so it was normal for him to make mistakes.
Old Cao was very cooperative, extending his arm and rolling up his sleeves so I could take his pulse.
As I felt Lao Cao's pulse, I felt more and more incredulous; Lao Cao's pulse was very healthy.
Despite being in his forties, his pulse is as strong as an ox's.
If I hadn't seen Lao Cao in person, I would have thought the man in front of me was a young man in his early twenties.
"Incredible, absolutely incredible!"
He said "unbelievable" twice in a row.
At that moment, I finally understood why Zhang Yongnian had brought me and Lao Dao along.
He might not be able to handle this strange situation properly on his own.
"Master, please don't worry about my affairs. I haven't been sick for the past two years, but my house is frequently haunted! Every night at midnight, I hear a man's voice calling out, even though I'm the only man in the house!"
Old Cao's expression turned serious, and he began to tell me the whole story.
Old Cao clapped his hands as he finished speaking, and Wang Ma came over and brought a chair for me, Lao Dao, and Zhang Yongnian. The three of us sat down on the chairs.
Old Cao even personally poured tea for us.
I listened attentively to what Lao Cao was saying, and felt increasingly that something strange was amiss.
"Old Cao, are you saying you heard a male ghost's cry?"
I checked it again.
I just checked with my third eye, and yes, the thing on Lao Cao is a female ghost, and she must be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"To be precise, it was a man's voice, or someone in their thirties or forties, around my age!"
After Lao Cao finished speaking, he pointed to himself and smiled.
"Do you have any daughters or anything like that?"
As I asked, I observed Lao Cao's expression. Lao Cao's expression did not change at all when he heard the word "daughter".
“I only have one son, but he went abroad to study two years ago and I haven’t seen him for a long time. He only comes back during holidays!”
Old Cao didn't mention his daughter, only saying that he had a son.
After he finished speaking, he pulled back the red cloth on the wall, which showed his family photos, a picture of the three of them looking happy together.
"See this? This is my son. And Master, you don't need to worry about my son, because I just spoke to him today!"
Old Cao probably anticipated my guess and quickly denied it.
After reaching these conclusions, I fell into deep thought, my head throbbing with pain.
There is only one man in Lao Cao's family now, and that is himself.
As for Lao Cao's son, he went abroad two years ago and is now safe.
Who is the male ghost in the house?
"Could you prepare a private room for us?"
I politely asked Lao Cao.
There are some important things I need to discuss with Lao Dao and Zhang Yongnian, and I definitely need to have some people on standby.
Old Cao agreed to my request without hesitation.
"Master, please save me! Help me send these evil spirits to the afterlife. They're yelling every day, keeping me awake all night!"
After arranging the room, Lao Cao grabbed my hand and pleaded.
"Old Cao, you mean this evil spirit just keeps bothering you every day? Around what time?"
We grasped the useful information Lao Cao mentioned.
I'm a little annoyed. This evil spirit keeps howling every day just to wake up Lao Cao, not to cause him any trouble.
Perhaps this so-called evil spirit is not evil at all.
"It starts around 8 a.m. every day and continues until 10 a.m., pretty punctually!"
Old Cao rubbed his head and then gave me an exact number.
"They start arguing during the day, but then they barely care at night?"
I was very confused after hearing that.
Ghosts are usually active at night and do nothing during the day, but the ghosts in Lao Cao's area are the opposite.
Every morning from eight to ten, just like clocking in for work, rain or shine.
"Alright, Lao Cao, I understand. Let's discuss it first!"
I nodded, then gestured for Lao Cao to go back first.
Then I closed the door.
"Senior, have you discovered anything?"
I glanced directly at Zhang Yongnian.
While I was talking to Lao Cao just now, I noticed that Zhang Yongnian was observing, and I guess he had discovered something.
"This has nothing to do with me; it's up to you and Lao Dao to handle!"
Zhang Yongnian simply washed his hands of the matter and became a hands-off manager.
"Senior, that's really unfair of you! You take on all the work and then just sit back and do nothing, while Brother Chen and I work here!"
Old Dao started complaining.
He sat on the stool, indignant and seething with anger.
This kid is really something. He's obviously blind, but he's wearing sunglasses. If you don't look closely, you'd really think he's a normal person.
Wearing this Taoist robe, carrying a peach wood sword, and sporting sunglasses, he really does look like a fortune teller.
"Senior is saving us! Senior has interfered with the cause and effect for us, so we should reciprocate in kind!"
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me.
I feel that Zhang Yongnian did this not because he took on the order for no reason.
Instead, it was paving the way for me and Lao Dao.
The philosophy of Taoism is not to easily interfere with other people's karma.
Those who have had their cause and effect disrupted and have received blessings should also extend those blessings to the general public.
This is what Lao Dao and I did.
Zhang Yongnian showed an appreciative expression after listening.
"That's right. You've already been tainted by karma. If you want to be safe and sound, you need to resolve enough of your attachments!"
This place holds a deep-seated obsession, and I've deduced it's related to the eagle owl—meaning it's destined to be a hurdle for you!
I was startled after hearing this.
I never expected that something related to eagle owls would happen in this desolate place.
At this very moment, my lightning sword began to tremble again.
In a daze, I heard my lightning sword thirsting for blood!
