Chapter Thirteen: The Flow of Qi

  Most people in this world, until they have ghosts, their first reaction is that if it's not my kind, its heart must be different, and it's best to kill them one by one. To be honest, I felt the same way at first. When I saw that eerie and gloomy scene on that big mountain for the first time, I wanted to send them all back to hell, but unfortunately, I didn't have the ability. Helpless, I had no choice but to compromise. But now that I have the ability, I really want those unscrupulous things to behave themselves a bit.

  But this little girl seemed to be very simple and didn't have that kind of murderous intent, even Xia Xue nodded in agreement, I had nothing to say but Old Zhao gave a thumbs up and said: "Zeng sister is really wise, knowing the cause and effect of equality among all living things, she will definitely become a great person in the future."

  That Miss Zeng smiled sweetly and said: "Alright, don't say so much, aren't you going to take a look? Hurry up and go."

  After hearing her words, Old Zhao and I followed along. Halfway through, I suddenly remembered that I had just asked the nanny to fetch glutinous rice, hadn't I? It's better to say something now, so I patted Miss Zeng's shoulder and said: "Sister Zeng, just call your family's nanny to put the glutinous rice I want here, I'll come down and use it later."

  "Oh, okay, Wu Ma, just put the glutinous rice here later, I'll take the two masters to our house for a stroll." After finishing speaking, Zeng Da Xiaojie pulled me up to run, I felt the slightly wet palm, my heart skipped a beat and my face turned red, wanting to pull out but feeling embarrassed to lose face, afraid others would say I'm a shy bird, I quickly looked away and followed her to her room.

  Miss Zeng's room was decorated completely differently from the one below, which had furniture arranged to emphasize luxury and opulence, giving off a rich family vibe. This young lady's room wasn't small, with a large bed, computer, TV, and other amenities all complete. The entire room was filled with sky blue and pink decorations, looking every bit like a little girl's setup.

  It looks very messy in there, all cluttered and disorganized, not a bit of the elegance of a lady. When Zeng Da Xiaojie saw it, she seemed embarrassed to explain: "Don't mind, I was just playing with Xia Xue on this, didn't expect you guys to come suddenly, didn't clean up properly. By the way, is there anything strange or eerie in here?"

  I couldn't see it either, that book "Cheng Tian" indeed has methods to temporarily open the yin eye and dark path, but those methods either harm people or require too much power. I tried a few times with the symbol for opening eyes, but they all failed without any effect, and even made me drink a belly full of ash water.

  Lao Zhao looked around and returned to us with a puzzled expression, saying: "No, it's all normal here. It doesn't even seem to have any resentment, and it looks almost the same as an ordinary person's room, or even better. I don't understand why this is either. Probably we'll just have to wait until tonight to find out."

  After hearing that, the two sisters looked at me with great disappointment. My heart, which had been eager to perform well, suddenly became active. I said to the two sisters: "You don't believe me? I have another way to show you, do you want to see?"

  Those two young ladies nodded curiously, and even Old Zhao was a bit puzzled. I thought it would be hard to make clear what kind of medicine I had in my gourd. Of course, I didn't have any other way out, but I was quite good at using the Nan Gong Li Huo symbol, and suddenly spouting fire was also very intimidating. Moreover, this fire was yang fire, so even if there really was some evil energy inside, it would be broken through.

  My talismans are all on my back, and the main things in my bag are the magical tools I prepared later, as well as the materials for setting up the array. These talismans can be used at any time, so I don't dare to put them randomly. I took out a fire-avoidance talisman that I drew myself, held it between my fingers and quickly stepped on the nine palaces, coordinating with hand gestures to recite incantations: "The momentum of Zhurong, open the spiritual mang, the fire avoidance is above the way, the sun is clear and sweeping away, the evil spirits are frightened and fleeing, the soul is flying and the gallbladder is lost. The orthodox yang palace, the south is bright and prosperous, I follow the order of the Supreme, urgently like a law."

  In an instant, along with my incantation, I felt a surge of energy emerging from my hand. The first time, I could only see the symbol burning, but now I can feel the subtle changes in the energy. The paper talisman in my hand suddenly burst into flames, and as the fire rose, it slowly burned away. This move really gave those two young ladies a fright, first they let out a cry of surprise, then they started applauding. In my heart, I felt a sense of pride and satisfaction, finally my practice of these spells wasn't just a lonely struggle anymore.

  Lao Zhao had seen my performance before, and each time it was quite normal, but this time he seemed to be puzzled and let out a surprised "huh". I asked him: "Lao Zhao, what's wrong? You've seen me before, haven't you? What's so strange?"

  Lao Zhao shook his head and said, "I'm not kidding you, just now when your symbol was unleashed, a burst of energy was triggered from Xia Mei's body. The two energies seem to have a mutual attraction, Xia Mei, do you have some kind of special artifact on you that would cause this light to appear?"

  Xia Xue thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "At first I didn't have anything, but once when I went to play at Wuhou Temple, I met a Taoist priest on the street who was telling fortunes. He insisted that I donate money, and I couldn't get out of it, so I donated 10 yuan. He said we had a predestined relationship and had to stuff a peace symbol into my body, so I've been carrying it with me ever since. Take a look, is this the one?" After finishing speaking, she took out a folded, crumpled yellow talisman from her own body and handed it over to us.

  The strokes of ink on this yellow talisman are bold and vigorous, yet appear to be casual, like a sleeping tiger. Although I couldn't see the flow of energy like Old Zhao did, after using some talismanic techniques for a while, I could roughly feel it. This yellow talisman in front of me emitted a unique energy that was continuous and unbroken, unlike the stiff feeling I got from drawing it myself.

  Old Zhao looked at it and also exclaimed: "Old Jiang, to be honest, the power released by the symbols you drew with handprints and footwork is not as good as the aura emitted by this symbol in a calm state. This symbol has formed a perfect small cycle, and this is just a special symbol for warding off evil spirits. If it were a fire symbol like yours, I would say that the power released would be enough to knock out zombies. I really don't know who the master is who drew this."

  "Is the Taoist who gave me this talisman really a high-ranking person? This can't be, right?" Xia Xue's face was full of surprise, and Zeng Da Jie, who was standing beside her, shook her arm and said: "Xia Xue, take me to see that place too, and find that high-ranking person for me. And while you're at it, get me a talisman so I won't be thrown out of bed again tonight."

  "Hey, what are you still afraid of? Old Jiang and Old Zhao will definitely settle this matter tonight. What's there to be afraid of?" Xia Xue pointed at me with a smile on her face, clearly not believing that I and Old Zhao...

  But this time, Old Zhao and I didn't resist. The situation here was too strange. What's even stranger is that what Lao Zeng said was all true. That is to say, there are indeed ghosts in this house, but they were not discovered by the two of us. The most terrifying thing in this world is not something you already know, but something that makes you feel unknown things.

  After finishing this room, we followed the two young ladies to turn around all the rooms, but unfortunately, I and Lao Zhao could only see the normal flow of air in these rooms, without feeling any evil presence at all. The more we walked, the more our hearts were tangled.

  Until the end, neither I nor Old Zhao could figure out why this was happening, and we could only shake our heads. Then I said to the two girls: "Forget it, let's not look for now, come back tonight, there are no clues at all and I don't know why it's so abnormal."

  "Don't worry, I think it's daytime now, so that's why they're not out. Who knows, maybe they'll come out at night." The older sister was always comforting us.

  Lao Zhao said, "It's not that simple. If it were just a passing spirit, the sun would come out and the yin energy would disperse. But your situation is different, every night there's a problem, so something must be lingering and refusing to leave. When something lingers, the local energy will gradually change, slowly revealing yin energy. And both your mother and father have been affected by this yin energy, which means we've definitely missed something. Where exactly?"

  "Does my dad and mom have yin energy? What about me, do I have it?" This young lady didn't know the situation before, Old Zhao accidentally spilled the beans, and now it's too late for me to take it back.

  "Oh, you're perfectly fine, no yin energy on you. I reckon it's because your birth chart is quite strong, so the yin energy didn't affect you. Those things only dared to mess with your bed, but not disturb you, probably for the same reason. Don't worry, let Old Jiang calculate it for you later and you'll know. By the way, don't tell your parents, don't scare them." Old Zhao also realized he had misspoken, so he confessed everything truthfully, then shook his head in frustration and lightly slapped himself twice.

  Zeng Dajie responded with a "hmm" and turned back to think, I only remembered after hearing Old Zhao's words that when I first came in, I had promised Zeng Huan's wife to tell her daughter's fortune, actually, as for telling fortunes, I'm still just an amateur, but calculating some simple eight characters, calculating the weight of bones is no problem.

  Just as we were at a loss for what to do, the sound of a car came from outside. Zeng Dasao's eyes lit up and she said: "Quickly go down, my dad is back."

  Xia Xue couldn't help but laugh: "Just now when your dad came back, he didn't see you so excited. I think you're not missing your dad, but rather your big brother Qin."

  "Stop thinking nonsense, I'm really welcoming my dad. Alright, alright, let's just drop it and go quickly."

  I roughly understood the meaning of their conversation, and asked Xia Xue with some confusion, "Who is that Qin brother? Why did he blush when mentioning Zeng sister?"

  "Hehe, you'll understand once you see it." Xia Xue covered her mouth and smiled.
