The young Taoist priest, who called himself Liao Zhiyuan, felt a little embarrassed when Zhao Youliang called him "Master".
"You're too kind. I'm not some kind of master."
"I was sent here this time simply because..."
Before the young Taoist Liao Zhiyuan could finish speaking, Qi Zhigang came running over, covered in sweat.
"Sorry, Quantum, I'm late!"
"You don't know, the department is especially busy today, we've admitted a lot of patients with external injuries."
"It's said that they were sent down from above to do archaeology, and it seems that a large ancient tomb has been discovered here."
"A large ancient tomb?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang immediately thought of the large tomb that the corpse driver had entered.
When the topic of corpse drivers comes up, Zhao Youliang naturally thinks of Zhao Hongwei, who "left without saying goodbye".
Alas, he was just as pitiful as I was; the entire sect had been wiped out...
Just as Zhao Youliang was feeling empathy, Qi Zhigang spoke up again.
"Quantum, is this Taoist priest your friend? Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"
Zhao Youliang only realized what was happening after hearing this and began to introduce the two parties.
After exchanging a few polite words, the young Taoist seemed very interested in the ancient tomb that Qi Zhigang had mentioned, and spoke with a smile.
"Speaking of archaeology, my dad had the good fortune to meet two legendary figures because of ancient tombs."
"Those truly powerful and influential figures!!"
"Oh, by the way, that ancient tomb was also discovered in this area!"
Whether Zhao Youliang was overly sensitive or not, upon hearing the words "important person," he immediately thought of the gentleman and the young general, and subconsciously uttered them.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the young Taoist priest Liao Zhiyuan jumped up as if he had stepped on an electric wire.
"What?! You actually know about the Master and the Young General?!"
"The important figures I'm referring to are these two!"
"What?!" Zhao Youliang was also surprised when he heard this, while Qi Zhigang looked completely bewildered.
After all, of the three, he was the only one who didn't know what kind of people the Master and the Young General were.
After Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan "verified the intelligence," they immediately realized that the other party was "one of their own," a true ally!
As a result, their relationship instantly became much closer.
Liao Zhiyuan completely dropped his "pretense," put away his Taoist robe, and returned to the appearance of an ordinary young man.
“I didn’t expect to run into an ‘acquaintance’ while on a mission, so I’ll just say what I’m saying.”
At this point, Liao Zhiyuan looked at Qi Zhigang with a serious expression: "Brother Gang, your complexion is dark and your yang energy is flickering. Have you encountered something evil recently?"
Qi Zhigang knew that Liao Zhiyuan and Zhao Youliang were acquaintances, so he didn't hide anything from them.
The story begins with the "Suppressing the Holy Technique," then moves on to the "dead man" in the hospital, and finally to the suicide of carpenter Lao Wu. In short, no detail is overlooked.
To everyone's surprise, Liao Zhiyuan's expression became even more serious after hearing this.
"If I'm not mistaken, there are other things you haven't noticed."
“Otherwise, based on just these three things, you wouldn’t have been able to extinguish the ‘heavenly fire’ on your forehead.”
"Heavenly Fire" is one of the three yang fires in the human body that we mentioned earlier.
The one on the forehead is called "Heavenly Fire," and the ones on the left and right shoulders are called "Earthly Fire" and "Human Fire," respectively.
Together, they represent the three powers of "Heaven, Earth, and Man".
After finishing his appeal, Liao Zhiyuan ignored Qi Zhigang's astonishment and took out paper and pen, placing them in front of Qi Zhigang.
"I just claimed to be a disciple of the Zhengyi sect because of my father."
"Actually, my master is a practitioner of the New Eight Characters School in the human world, so my specialty is character divination."
"Brother Gang, just write down any character, and I'll calculate it for you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Zhigang dared not delay and quickly picked up his pen and wrote on the paper.
But just then, a gust of wind blew, and the paper floated up and landed in front of Li Mao, who was peeling lamb legs for a customer.
To be precise, it landed on the knife used to slice the lamb leg.
After Liao Zhiyuan took the paper back, he looked at the "marks" on it and his face became even more solemn.
Upon seeing this, Qi Zhigang became anxious: "Brother, what's wrong? Is the 'divination' bad?"
Divination by characters is certainly not the same as fortune telling. Qi Zhigang confused the two because he didn't understand them.
"Yes, it's not just bad, it's extremely unlucky!"
"To be precise, Brother Gang, you are facing a certain death!"
After Liao Zhiyuan finished speaking, he immediately began to explain before Zhao Youliang and the other man could ask for the reason.
“Look, no matter what the reason, Brother Qi only left the word ‘one’ on the paper just now.”
"And this piece of paper just happened to land on the knife... A knife is also called a dagger."
“Look up again, from where we are sitting, what does that lamp behind the house look like?”
Qi Zhigang looked in the direction Liao Zhiyuan pointed and answered without hesitation.
"The light bulb was half-blocked by the wall, like the setting sun."
Liao Zhiyuan nodded deeply: "That's right."
"The top half is '一' (one), the bottom half is '夕' (evening), and the other half is '匕' (dagger). Put them together, and it's the character for 'death'!"
"Huh?!" Qi Zhigang was completely startled upon hearing this and hurriedly asked.
"Bro, if what you're saying is true, am I beyond saving?!"
Liao Zhiping slowly shook his head upon hearing this: "It's not that bad."
"Everything has a chance of survival. The key issue now is to find out the cause of your 'death'."
"I'll say it again: Brother Qi, the three things you just mentioned won't kill you right away."
Upon hearing this, Qi Zhigang quickly lowered his head and thought, "There's something else... but I can't remember anything at all!"
"I haven't encountered anything else that I can't explain lately..."
