Chapter 184: Back to Reality 3

Looking at the man in front of her with a hint of doubt on his face, Yu Xiao thought of something and asked, "What's your name?"

After asking, she realized that it would be useless even if she asked the name, because she didn't even know the name of that senior.

"Zheng Dongli." The middle-aged man said, "I have been living in D Province. This time I came to A City for work. Oh, by the way, my profession is Yin Yang Master, which is also considered as Taoism. Are you also from Xuanmen?"

Zhou Xiaozhen was confused for a moment and asked, "What is Yin Yang Master?"

"Well..." Yu Xiao didn't know much either. She said, "It's similar to Taoist priests, catching ghosts."

"Really?" Zhao Lan was puzzled. "Why do I remember that Yin Yang Master is a feng shui master? Helping people move their ancestral tombs or something."

Zheng Dongli looked at the three people and wondered in his heart. They seemed to know nothing about Xuanmen. Of course, it shouldn't be like this. The girl standing in the middle clearly drew a profound talisman casually.

He explained calmly, "Mr. Yin Yang is not some expert. Feng Shui, Yin Yang Bagua, Five Elements Numerology, and catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits are all within my business scope."

"Oh~" Zhou Xiaozhen understood, "He does everything."

Zheng Dongli: "...Yes."

"Then why did you come to us? Just because of this talisman?" Zhao Lan was still doubtful, "And how did you find us?" Zheng

Dongli had been standing at the door for a while, and he explained calmly: "One reason I came to you was because of this talisman, and also because I saw your video on Douyin. I went to the hospital to find you, but you were not there, so I left your phone number. However, when I went there again at dinner time, I learned that you had been discharged from the hospital. It shows that you didn't want to contact me. So, I could only use some of my own connections to find you."

"You said the talisman is only part of the reason." Yu Xiao asked, "Then what is the other reason?"

Zheng Dongli said frankly: "Because of your abilities."

Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen immediately looked at each other and saw panic in each other's eyes. Zheng Dongli then said, "Are you confused or even panicked by your sudden emergence of abilities?"

"..."

They stopped looking at each other because they were not confused or panicked at all.

Then it was Zheng Dongli's turn to be surprised. He looked at the three people in surprise, "You are not surprised at all. Do you know what's going on?"

"Huh?" Yu Xiao immediately said, "No, we don't know. We just... haven't had dinner yet and can't muster up the energy."

Zhou Xiaozhen glanced at Yu Xiao and thought that she was worthy of being called Sister Xiao, and her reaction speed was fast.

"Yeah." Zhou Xiaozhen said, "When you knocked on the door just now, we thought it was a delivery man."

At this time, the elevator door opened, and the resident next door came over and looked at the four people standing at the door in surprise. Zheng Dongli was a little shy and couldn't stand this kind of look. He whispered, "Can I go in and talk?"

Zhao Lan asked Yu Xiao, "Can he come in?"

"Yes." Yu Xiao said.

"Then come in." Zhao Lan made way from the door.

Zheng Dongli said sincerely, "Thank you for your trust in me."

"It's not trust in you, it's trust in ourselves." Zhou Xiaozhen stood beside Yu Xiao, with a proud look as if we are super powerful and not afraid of anyone, "Anyway, you can't make any waves in our hands."

"..." Zheng Dongli's mood was extremely complicated. He felt that he was getting more and more confused about young people.

On the table in the living room was a painting that Yu Xiao had drawn before. Zheng Dongli came over, took a look at it and asked, "That..."

Zhao Lan took the painting away and asked, "Do you want some water?"

"Oh, no thanks." Zheng Dongli took out a thermos from behind his back and said, "I brought some water."

The dining table in Zhao Lan's house was rectangular, with Zheng Dongli sitting on one side and Yu Xiao, Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen sitting on the other. The light shone on their heads. Facing the three people with serious expressions, Zheng Dongli smiled awkwardly, "Well, don't you have anything to ask?"

"Do we need to ask?" Zhou Xiaozhen picked up a cup and exerted a little force. "Crack" the cup immediately broke into pieces, "Tell me the truth."

Zhao Lan beside her was caught off guard, her pupils shrank, and her heart broke into pieces. That was a cup she liked very much...

Zheng Dongli smiled awkwardly, opened the thermos, and lowered his head to drink a sip of water. Yu Xiao clearly saw that there were wolfberries floating in his thermos.

"Where should I start?" Zheng Dongli thought for a moment and said, "Let me ask you first. Were you originally very ill, but then you recovered and were able to be discharged from the hospital, and suddenly you found that you had become very strong?"

Zhou Xiaozhen couldn't help but look at Yu Xiao, who was motionless and steady like a mountain. Zhao Lan asked, "How do you know?"

Zheng Dongli smiled lightly, then pointed at himself, "Because I am the same."

"Ah?!"

Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen were shocked, and then looked at Yu Xiao again, who was still motionless.

"Don't you believe it?" Zheng Dongli looked at the table, then picked up the porcelain cup in front of Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan: "!"

"Let go!" Zhao Lan snatched the cup from Zheng Dongli's hand, "Don't pinch my cup!"

"..." Zheng Dongli touched his nose awkwardly, feeling amused and speechless. He spread his hands, "Then how can I prove it to you?"

"No need to prove it." Yu Xiao said, "We are willing to believe you."

Zhao Lan held the cup and glanced at Yu Xiao secretly, thinking, do you believe it now?

Zheng Dongli was very happy. He felt that this girl who could draw talismans and didn't talk much was pretty good and very steady. She was worthy of being one of their Xuanmen.

He said, "Twenty-three years ago, I also had a serious illness. At that time, medical conditions were not as good as they are now, and the possibility of my illness being cured was very small. But I was lucky, and I actually recovered after treatment. However, since then I found that something was wrong with me. At first I found that my strength became very strong."

"That is not something that can be described simply as great strength." Zheng Dongli looked down at his palm, "That kind of power has already surpassed the limits of human beings."

At this point he raised his head and said to the three people, "But you don't have to worry, as long as you control it well, it will not affect your life."

Hearing this, Yu Xiao could almost conclude that the Zheng Dongli in front of him was the one who left the Laojun Talisman in the hospital. He also forgot everything. Except for her, who was not discharged from the hospital, everyone would lose all their memories of the hospital after being discharged, even those who had changed the entire hospital by themselves.

"How have you been these years?" Yu Xiao asked.

Zheng Dongli was slightly stunned, thinking that this sentence was a bit subtle, but he did not think much about it, and said: "It's okay, I said, as long as we control it well, the changes in our bodies will not affect our lives. You listen to me next, what I just said is just the beginning."

"I said before that I am a Yin Yang Master. Because my ancestors did this, I have been learning Yin Yang Feng Shui since I was a child. When I found that my body had changed, the first thing I did was to find one of my elders." Zheng Dongli's eyes were a little confused, "I guess it might be because I wandered in the realm of life and death, so my body would have such changes. I found my elder, but he didn't know what was going on. But he told me that I was not the only one who had such a change."

"Are there other people?" Zhao Lan asked in surprise.

"Yes." Zheng Dongli nodded and said, "That was a friend of my elder. He was very old and participated in the Anti-Japanese War. I met him and talked a lot with him. Then I learned that he also had a serious illness when he was young. Later, when he recovered, he showed this change."

"Then I was thinking about a question." Zheng Dongli closed the lid of the thermos cup and said, "Maybe I and the old man are not the only ones who have undergone this change. In this world, in many places I don't know, there may be other people like me. So I decided to look for them. I want to know what is going on." After

he finished speaking, the living room fell silent.

The faint sound of a baby crying came from upstairs, and then the sound of a mother singing softly. Yu Xiao looked at Zheng Dongli, who was calm and determined, and she suddenly thought that maybe it was because of his personality that he could draw enough talismans for the people in a hospital before leaving.

"Then what?" Yu Xiao asked, "Did you find them?"

"Yes." Zheng Dongli smiled and said, "I can only say that I found some of the people. It was very difficult to find them at the beginning, but later, as communication became more and more developed, it became much easier for me to find people."

Zheng Dongli's expression was a little strange. He said, "I found a pattern. The more time goes by, the more people like us appear. Although I have been looking for many years, most of the people like us are young people."

Zheng Dongli pointed at himself and said, "There are not many people as old as me. The most are young people in their twenties and thirties like you."

Yu Xiao nodded slightly. This is normal. Because the Laojun Talisman had been sealed in the hospital for many years, when Yu Xiao found it again, it had been more than 20 years since Zheng Dongli left the Laojun Talisman. During that period, too many patients from the First and Second Hospitals had died in the hospital.

Most of the remaining ones were patients from the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Hospitals, so there were mostly young people.

However, Yu Xiao felt that this situation should change, because the reason why the discharged patients had this situation was because they carried a lot of Yin Qi in their bodies. After being discharged from the hospital, these Yin Qi became a kind of existence that she did not understand yet. It was harmless, but it could cause some changes in the patients that were similar to being strengthened.

But with the appearance of the Laojun Talisman, patients can get rid of the Yin Qi in their bodies in the hospital. When you are discharged from the hospital, there is not much Yin in your body, so relatively speaking, the changes in your body after discharge will be small, or even no changes at all.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiao relaxed a little, because the appearance of the Laojun Talisman seemed that the hospital would not have much impact on reality.

"In these years, I have traveled around and found many people like us." Zheng Dongli said, "Although I still can't figure out why this change has occurred, I can help them so that they don't have to panic and can still live a normal life. My efforts are not in vain."

Looking at Zheng Dongli's emotional look, Zhou Xiaozhen suddenly felt that this person was pretty good.

She asked, "Has everyone's life not been affected?"

"I can't say all." Zheng Dongli said, "Most people have not been affected."

"It's like this, I'm currently facing a very difficult decision, and I want to ask you for advice." Zhou Xiaozhen said.

"Go ahead." Zheng Dongli said patiently, "You can tell me any difficult problems you have. No matter how much I am older than you, I still have more life experience."

"Then I'll tell you." Zhou Xiaozhen said, "I'm eighteen this year, and I was supposed to take the college entrance examination, but because of my illness, my grades are definitely not as good as before. But I don't want to repeat the exam. Look, I've become stronger, haven't I? I'll participate in the Olympics, lift weights, win a championship, and then be recommended to go to college. Do you think I can do this?"

"..."

Zheng Dongli stared at Zhou Xiaozhen blankly, unable to recover for a while.

"Uncle Zheng." Zhou Xiaozhen looked at him expectantly, "Do you think it's possible?"

"This... ahem." Zheng Dongli was really stumped by her question. He said with a complicated expression: "I have found dozens of people over the years. After they discovered their abilities, they did all kinds of things. This is the first time I've met someone...who wants to participate in the Olympics."

Zhou Xiaozhen was so anxious, "Just tell me if it's possible?"

"Well...it's a good thing to win glory for the country." Zheng Dongli thought that he couldn't hinder the child's future, "but you have to learn to hide yourself and don't be too exaggerated."

"Got it!" Zhou Xiaozhen nodded excitedly, "Sister Xiao said so too!"

"Xiao..." Zheng Dongli finally remembered, "It seems that the three of you haven't introduced yourself yet."

"Me!" Zhou Xiaozhen said first, "My name is Zhou Xiaozhen!"

Zhao Lan said, "My name is Zhao Lan."

"Yu Xiao." Yu Xiao originally wanted to meet those old friends in the hospital. Although Yu Qinglang and Tang Xingyin no longer remembered her, Yu Xiao had promised that they would see each other after being discharged from the hospital, so she still wanted to try to find them. But she was only discharged for about a week each time, and it might be too late to find them.

Now the opportunity is right in front of her, since Zheng Dongli knows many people who have been discharged from the hospital, maybe some of her friends are among them.

"Well, thank you for finding us and telling us these things." Yu Xiao said.

Zheng Dongli opened the lid of the thermos again and smiled, "You're welcome."

"There's something I want to ask of you." Yu Xiao said.

Zheng Dongli: "What's the matter?"

"I want to meet people like us." Yu smiled and said, "Of course, it's okay if it's inconvenient for you. Can you give me their address? Or give me their phone number, I want to contact them."

Zheng Dongli could understand her curiosity about people of the same kind and her desire to meet people of the same kind.

He thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll ask them if they want to get together. If anyone wants to, we'll make an appointment to get together."

"It would be best if it were this week," Yu smiled.

Zheng Dongli looked at her with a slightly strange look, then nodded, "Okay."

It was already very late, and everything that needed to be said had already been said. This meeting was quite satisfactory. Before leaving, Zheng Dongli asked Yu Xiao again, "Can you tell me who first invented that talisman?"

Yu Xiao did not answer, but asked, "Why do you want to know?"

"I don't know either." Zheng Dongli frowned slightly, his fingers moved slightly, and the Laojun talisman was pinched between his fingertips. "It's a very strange feeling. I felt very familiar with this talisman when I saw it, and I felt... a little sad in my heart. I see that the function of this talisman seems to be used to eliminate separation... So what is it used to eliminate?" "

Yin Qi." Yu Xiao said.

"So that's how it is." Zheng Dongli suddenly became enlightened. He praised: "The person who can create such a talisman must be a genius."

"Yes." Yu Xiao: "He is indeed a genius."

Seeing that she had no intention of revealing who created this talisman, Zheng Dongli stood up and took the thermos cup in his hand. He said: "It's already early morning. I should go. Leave me your contact information."

After saving the phone number and adding WeChat, Zheng Dongli walked to the door and opened it. Suddenly he turned around and asked: "What is the name of the talisman?"

"Laojun Talisman." Yu Xiao said.

Zheng Dongli nodded, then turned and walked out of the door and disappeared behind the door.

After he left, Yu Xiao sighed with mixed feelings. Zhao Lan asked, "Did you know him in the hospital?"

"Yes, but I've never seen him." Yu smiled and said, "You know what? He is the senior in the hospital who created the Laojun Talisman." "

Fuck, it's him?!" Zhou Xiaozhen said, "No wonder I felt friendly when I saw him just now."

Zhao Lan glanced at her speechlessly, "Friendly? Who pinched the cup to make him tell the truth?"

"Oh, Sister Lan~" Zhou Xiaozhen embarrassedly hugged Zhao Lan's waist, "I'm so annoying~~"

"Disgusting!" Zhao Lan smiled and avoided Zhou Xiaozhen.

Yu Xiao asked, "If there really is a party, will you go?"

"Yes." Zhou Xiaozhen said, "Why not? Maybe you can meet someone you know."

Zhao Lan yawned and said, "What acquaintance? You don't even remember."

"Even if I don't remember, it's still an acquaintance!" Zhou Xiaozhen rubbed her hands excitedly, "This is my first time to attend a party of this mysterious organization. I feel like I'm the heroine of a movie. I'm so excited."

"Take a shower and go to bed." Zhao Lan picked up the painting again. She said, "You guys go take a shower. I'll post this painting online. Maybe when I wake up tomorrow morning, someone who knows this painting will reply to me."

Zheng Dongli came to City A to help people with Feng Shui, and he only wanted to find Yu Xiao and the other two on a whim.

After leaving Zhao Lan's house, he returned to the hotel.

Ever since that serious illness, he began to pay attention to health preservation. Before today, he hadn't slept so late for a long time.

After taking a shower, he lay on the bed, still holding the talisman in his hand.

He stared at the red runes on the talisman in a daze, and fell asleep unknowingly.

In his dream, he saw a person, lying on an antique and gorgeous table, drawing talismans one by one. A big black dog was lying in front of him, looking up at him from time to time, but he didn't care.

He painted and painted, obviously very tired, his fingers couldn't stop shaking, and he could hardly hold the pen, but he still didn't stop. Tie the hand and the pen together with a cloth strip, and then continue.

Don't stop!

Draw as many as possible...
