"Xiao Chen!"
Qingfeng, Langyue, and Zhiyuan called out at the same time.
If they hadn't noticed Xiao Chen's unusual behavior by now, they would truly be blind.
Their faces showed worry, confusion, and guilt.
They all knew that Xiao Chen found the hairpin in a cave in the mountains.
They also found a secret manual.
Xiao Chen is a simple and honest child who doesn't keep things to himself. If he finds something, he immediately thinks of giving it to his master, Qing Fengzi.
Qingfengzi naturally wouldn't covet his disciple's things. He glanced at them quickly, found nothing wrong, and returned them to Xiaochen.
Xiao Chen couldn't understand the contents of the manual, so he gave it to Zhi Yuan.
Zhiyuan learned how to draw slimming talismans from this book.
The hairpin looked quite practical, so Xiao Chen kept it for herself.
No one noticed that the hairpin had become a spirit.
As Xiaochen's elders, they failed to provide adequate guardianship.
"Xiao Chen" coldly swept his gaze across the crowd, finally settling on Kui Xiaodi.
"You lowly creatures dare to challenge me!"
Kui Xiaodi subconsciously shrank his neck.
Kui Kui could tell from the tone of his voice that it was an old object.
She always held history in awe, but she was ruthless towards mischievous old objects, immediately casting a spell to freeze them in place.
If it weren't for Xiao Chen's true form, she would have used even more ruthless methods.
"Did you make all these harmful slimming charms?" Kui Kui moved to protect Kui Xiaodi and questioned him coldly.
"So what if they are? Those greedy, lowly hooves deserve to become sacrifices for my master's resurrection!"
Upon hearing this, Zhiyuan suddenly recalled the contents of the title page of the manual.
That was the author's own account.
Zhiyuan asked, "Is your master Ling Xiaozhi?"
The owner of the secret manual was named Lingxiaozi. He traveled all over the country, witnessing both the prosperity and the suffering of the people.
He created many magical talismans, one of which was the slimming talisman.
He had seen wealthy gentry who suffered from various diseases due to obesity; he had also seen starving refugees who could not get three meals a day and could only fill their stomachs by drinking water.
He had a sudden inspiration: to absorb the excess nutrients from the rich and transfer them to the refugees, thus saving two people at once.
He didn't just think about it; he took action. Although the process was extremely difficult and he failed countless times, he finally succeeded!
Ling Xiaozi was such an extraordinary person. He spent his entire life creating various talismans to benefit the people, and he never took on any disciples.
Therefore, as he foresaw his impending ascension to immortality, he wrote down this secret manual and his personal white jade hairpin, intending to leave it to a destined person in the future.
And Xiao Chen is the one destined for this.
However, Ling Xiaozi never expected that when one attains enlightenment, even one's chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and the jade hairpin he had worn for many years would actually develop a spirit.
"Xiao Chen" frowned slightly, then returned to its original blank state.
"How dare you call my master by his name!"
"Fine, fine, I won't call you that. But your master has already ascended to immortality, so how can there be any talk of resurrection?"
"You're talking nonsense! If my master had ascended to immortality, why would he have left me in the mortal realm?"
Zhiyuan had already thoroughly studied the secret manual left by Lingxiaozi and immediately began to recite the contents of the title page.
"Little Dust" broke free from the immobilization spell, shaking his head repeatedly and covering his ears, saying, "I won't listen! I won't listen!"
Zhiyuan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself: I'm not chanting scriptures!
Kui Kui understood; his obsession was at play.
Spirits harboring evil thoughts are no different from evil ghosts and should be punished!
She shouted, "Stubborn fool!"
Immediately, a talisman for exorcising ghosts was slapped out.
