Upon hearing that something had happened, Ningbao sat up abruptly.
She stretched out her little arms, gesturing for Zhou Chengxing to help her dress, and asked,
"Dad, what happened in the village?"
"Uncle Liu just came over and said that all the villagers are vomiting black blood, and the blood smells terrible."
Your Uncle Gu went ahead with Uncle Liu first; he told me to bring you there later.
Gu Zheyuan saw Ning Bao and her father approaching and quickly went to greet them.
"Ningbao, are you still asleep?"
Everyone was almost vomiting and exhausted. The doctor examined them but couldn't find the cause. We really had no choice but to bring you in for a checkup.
Ningbao waved her little hand.
"Uncle Gu, it's alright. Ningbao has already woken up. Let's go see the villagers."
Ning Bao threw several purification talismans into the air and into all the water sources, and the originally gloomy sky instantly cleared up.
“Uncle Gu, the evil spirits here have been dispelled. The villagers were just expelling the remaining evil spirits from their bodies. They will be fine after drinking some water.”
As soon as Ning Bao finished speaking, the villagers who had heard him nearby rushed back to get water. A short while later, joyful shouts echoed from the village.
"I'm all better! I'm really all better!"
I'm not afraid of the light anymore! Finally, I don't have to be neither human nor ghost anymore!
…………
An hour later, Ning Bao and his group left the village and walked up the mountain, leaving the horses they had ridden at Uncle Liu's house.
Zhou Chengxing couldn't bear to let Ningbao, with her short legs, climb the mountain, so he carried his daughter on his back as soon as they left the village.
Half an hour later, Ning Bao stared blankly at the steep cliff in front of her.
"Uncle Gu, should we climb up?"
Gu Zheyuan nodded.
"Yes, the Cold Guard is located on the cliff. It is safer to build the Cold Guard here because the mountain road is steep."
There is only one road, and you can only climb up it each time you go up the mountain.
However, we all know that there are vines on the steepest parts of the mountainside, and it's much easier to climb up by holding onto the vines.
Ning Bao frowned as she looked at the sheer cliff face.
"But this looks quite dangerous. Why don't we just use a flying talisman to fly up there?"
Zhou Chengxing shook his head.
"Ningbao, flying talismans are great, but not everyone can have one."
Ning Bao looked at Zhou Chengxing and Gu Zheyuan with a puzzled expression.
“I can draw many flying symbols and give them to Dad and Uncle Gu.”
Zhou Chengxing shook his head and continued,
“We know Ningbao can draw talismans, but we can’t.”
What if one day you run out of the talismans we've given you and you're no longer by our side?
She suddenly frowned; she seemed to understand what her father meant by those words, yet she also seemed not to quite understand...
Zhou Chengxing looked at Ning Bao and continued,
“Ningbao, you gave your father quite a few of these talismans the other day, and your father tried them all out.”
I discovered that, apart from storage talismans, all other talismans are single-use, meaning they can't be used again after one use.
Have you ever thought about what you would do if you ran out of talisman paper or talisman-drawing materials and couldn't get them for a while?
Therefore, we can use these external skills when necessary or when we encounter danger and need to escape.
Don't rely too much on those things in daily life; true strength comes from improving your own abilities and becoming strong yourself.
True strength comes from being strong yourself!
Ningbao stared blankly at her father, as if she could see golden light shining from his head again.
