The Zheng family was naturally responsible for the subsequent finishing work, such as the noise they made in the middle of the night that sounded like firecrackers, and the car that Wei Mian smashed.
As for the role Wei Mian played in this incident, the Zheng family members were naturally very grateful. Uncle Zheng Er and Uncle Zheng San had no intention of shirking their responsibilities for the talismans they used.
If they cannot return the talismans of the same quality, they can convert them into cash to return them.
So the next day, several people in charge of the Zheng family came to the small building together. Wei Mian asked paper dolls to serve tea, and the group sat down in the living room.
Zheng Heng also came this time. Fortunately, the Soul-Calming Jade had been protecting his spirit altar all these days, and the return of his soul had no effect on him at all.
However, he still remembered what happened last night. This was the difference between people whose souls had innate spiritual power and others.
If an ordinary person is possessed by someone, he will forget everything that happened after becoming a spirit after waking up, but a person with a congenital spiritual body will remember it exactly.
Wei Mian had heard from her master that some powerful celestial masters could even remember things from their past lives after reaching the later stages of their cultivation, but she had never tried it yet.
But on second thought, isn't everything in the Zhengyang Sect now like her past life?
After some polite exchanges, Zheng Kaiyuan directly talked about the first purpose of his visit.
"Zheng Heng is the most outstanding disciple of my Zheng family's generation. I'm sure you've noticed. This child was born with a unique soul. He's a good seedling for us cultivators, but he's also very tempting to those evil creatures, attracting their covetousness. This is what happened."
Not everyone can see Zheng Heng's innate spiritual body. The other party must have a certain level of Taoism. Besides, there is the powerful Zheng family. No one is so blind as to want to be an enemy of such a big family.
So he had been safe and sound for so many years, and this was the first time something like this happened, and the old man happened to fall ill at this time, so Zheng Kaiyuan had blisters in his mouth during this period.
He even suspected that the other party had been keeping an eye on the Zheng family, waiting for the day when the old man fell ill so that they could take action against Zheng Heng.
"Fellow Daoist, by rescuing Zheng Heng this time, you have done a life-saving favor to my Zheng family. From now on, if you have any requests, I will be at your service. I have heard about what happened yesterday. Many of your precious talismans were consumed this time. This loss will naturally be borne by my Zheng family."
As he spoke, Zheng Kaiyuan took out a check from his bag and handed it over with both hands.
Wei Mian didn't answer. She only helped yesterday because they were the descendants of her fourth senior brother. Now it seems that the Zheng family is still grateful, and her hard work is not in vain.
"Speaking of which, the Zheng family and I are from the same school, so it's only natural that I should help you this time."
When Zheng Kaiyuan heard this, he immediately remembered the name of the ancestor Wei Mian had asked about before, "I wonder who your ancestor is?"
Wei Mian was a little at a loss for words. She couldn't say that her ancestor was also called Wei Mian. Before she could say anything, Zheng Kaiyuan suddenly said, "What a coincidence! I saw in the handwritten notes left by our ancestor that the only female disciple of our ancestor's sect had the same name as our Taoist friend!"
"Disciple?" Wei Mian was silent. "What else did you say? Did you say what happened to that disciple later?"
"The notes record that he was missing. It's said that the entire sect was mobilized to search for him but couldn't find him. This incident has become a source of worry for our ancestors."
The Zheng family has to learn family genealogy since childhood. Zheng Kaiyuan started learning these things when he was very young. He still looks at them occasionally, so he can recite them naturally.
Wei Mian lowered her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"I wonder who your ancestors were?"
"It's the missing female disciple."
Zheng Kaiyuan was stunned. Thinking of the name of the female disciple, he wanted to ask her how she could have the same name as the ancestor. However, the relationship between the two was not that close. Maybe every family has its own rules. The old man knew someone before, and the head of the family in each generation had the same name.
Zheng Kaiyuan then said with a smile, "Then we are indeed from the same school!"
He changed the subject, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly, even if they are from the same sect. If it weren't for those talismans yesterday, my second and third brothers together wouldn't have been able to protect Zheng Heng. Please accept this little token of gratitude."
Wei Mian didn't want to argue with him, so he put the check on the table without even looking at it.
However, Zheng Kaiyuan didn't come here today just to give money to Wei Mian, he had another more important purpose.
Seeing that Wei Mian was finally willing to accept the money, Zheng Kaiyuan continued, "You have also seen how powerful that evil spirit is. If he really devours Zheng Heng, there is no telling what he will become, and what consequences will follow—"
Zheng Kaiyuan didn't say the rest, but Wei Mian could guess it. In fact, she had thought of this too. That thing was almost beaten to death today, but the black energy that appeared later seemed to be even more powerful than the previous evil spirit.
But after Wei Mian came back and thought carefully about the feeling at that time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. It seemed that the last black energy was just a feint, and it seemed that it was evil energy stored by something, not a more powerful evil spirit.
Wei Mian had fought with the other party before, and no one knew the evil spirit better than her. Zheng Kaiyuan had the nerve to ask her for help. If the other party really didn't want to help, that was fine. He also had a second plan.
That is to buy talismans from Wei Mian, preferably high-level defensive talismans and ghost-exorcising talismans like the ones from yesterday. If the high-level ones are not for sale, the intermediate ones will also do.
Zheng Kaiyuan was just wondering whether he should talk about buying the talisman first, when he saw Wei Mian looking at him with a smile, as if he had guessed what he was going to say.
However, Wei Mian did not embarrass the other party, but said very straightforwardly, "I'll take this matter."
Zheng Kaiyuan was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Wei Mian to express his gratitude. He then had someone bring up a box containing all the magical instruments he could think of that could be used, as well as several talismans treasured by the Zheng family.
Zheng Kaiyuan was really helpless. After listening to several people talk about their experiences last night, he knew that he was definitely no match for that thing. But Wei Mian was different. Last night, she beat that thing so hard that it didn't dare to fight back. Later, it had to escape with its last breath only after reinforcements arrived.
It can be seen that as long as Wei Mian is willing to take action, Zheng Heng's life will definitely be saved. He knew that other people's talismans were better than his own collection, but he still brought his own at home, which also showed his attitude.
Whether Wei Mian wants it or not is one thing, whether he takes the initiative to send it to him is another.
Sure enough, Wei Mian just glanced into the box and told him to take the things back. "These are not very useful. You can take them all back. I will prepare the talismans myself."
"Okay, I'll trouble you then, fellow Daoist. After the matter is completed, my Zheng family will definitely pay for the expenses of these talismans according to the market price."
