The news that Yang Pingzhi’s capital seal was stolen was not a secret. It had been on the news. Huang Jinyang had known about it for a long time. Later, Shi Changxuan asked for leave several times because of Pei Xiaoshan’s matter. As Shi Changxuan’s classmate, he also knew about it.
Last year, when Huang Jinyang went to Baoyang Temple, Shi Changxuan also said that in order to close his eye, he had to use Du Gong seal to seal it.
At that time, everyone thought that the Du Gong Seal was hidden in the museum, far away from them, so they only used the transport talisman to prevent Huang Jinyang from encountering ghost objects as much as possible.
Now it was fine. Xie Lingya had the heart seal and could close Huang Jinyang’s yin and yang eyes.
Xie Lingya had been recovering from his injuries before, so it took a long time before Huang Jinyang received the news and ran to Baoyang Temple.
Huang Jinyang felt excited when he thought that the yin and yang eye that had troubled him for more than 20 years was about to close. His left eye still drooped downwards habitually, and he suddenly stumbled while walking briskly.
Huang Jinyang looked down and saw nothing under his feet.
But he soon understood and opened his left eye slightly, only to see a short and fat thing sitting on the lower left side. He was so frightened that he took two steps back. This guy looks so weird.
Since wearing the luck charm, Huang Jinyang’s luck had improved, and he didn’t bump into ghosts so much. So, he was really not used to stepping on one suddenly.
Huang Jinyang’s eyes met with this strange-looking ghost, cold sweat dripping down his face, and he immediately activated his more than 20 years of experience and pretended not to see it.
At this time, the ghost stood up and bowed, “Sorry, I didn’t pay attention.”
Huang Jinyang: “…”
What happened just now? Why was this ghost so polite?
Huang Jinyang had never seen such a ghost before, and for a moment he forgot to hide that he could see ghosts.
“Can you hear me, sir? I’m telling you, the manhole cover in front was stolen. The community has recovered it, but it hasn’t had time to cover it again. You should be careful when walking.” The ghost reminded him very naturally.
“Thank you, thank you…?” Huang Jinyang was confused. What was going on? Was there an activity to imitate Lei Feng[1] in the underworld?
Huang Jinyang continued to walk forward but then looked back, only to see the ghost still sitting on the roadside, walking around as if on patrol. Speaking of which, if this ghost didn’t harm people, then it was no wonder that the transport talisman was useless against it. Even if he met it, it was still fine.
Huang Jinyang was very surprised and thought so as he walked into the shopping mall on the roadside. He was going to buy some gifts for Xie Lingya. Because he was Shi Changxuan’s classmate, Xie Lingya had refused his remuneration, but he couldn’t just show up empty-handed.
Huang Jinyang usually didn’t come here very often. This was the first time he had entered this new shopping mall that had only been opened for a few months. He stood in front of the map and muttered to himself: “Which floor is the wine shop on?”
“Don’t buy wine.” came a voice.
Huang Jinyang turned around and saw that there was no one around him.
The voice rang again, “You are looking for Teacher Xie, right? Don’t bring wine. Teacher Xie is too fierce when he drinks. It would be more economical to give him some seafood and dry goods.”
Huang Jinyang: “…”
Huang Jinyang quickly opened his left eye, and as expected, there was a ghost standing next to him, talking with his hands behind his back, “Do you know Xie Lingya? The one at the door just now… that one, won’t be with you, right?”
The two of them gave him a very similar feeling, and he subconsciously thought they were a group.
“Yes. We all live nearby under the care of Teacher Xie, and we usually help maintain public order.” Ding Aima introduced himself.
Huang Jinyang had no idea that such a thing was happening and was speechless at the time.
Ding Aima: “Go to the basement level to buy dried seafood. By the way, the toilet ghost told you that the manhole cover in front fell off, right?”
Huang Jinyang subconsciously replied: “He told me.”
Ding Aima then drifted away with confidence.
Huang Jinyang thought for a while, and actually went to buy dried seafood and walked towards Baoyang Temple with it. He felt that if all the ghosts he encountered were like this, then it would be fine even if his Yin and Yang eyes were not closed. Not only were they not scary, but they were also so eager to help others…
Huang Jinyang’s left eye was open because the two ghosts just now made him feel very at ease. Ah, as expected of being near a Taoist temple, even ghosts around it were safe.
When he walked closer to Baoyang Temple, he saw a shadowless body illuminated by the street lamp, which was fully two meters tall. He was holding on to the courtyard wall of Baoyang Temple and looking inside –
Huang Jinyang’s eyes hurt, and he felt a chill to his bones. The breath hit his face, and it hurt his eyes just to look at it.
At this time, a wooden scepter was smashed out of the yard and hit the behemoth on the forehead. Then Xie Lingya poked his head out of the gate and said angrily: “Damn it, even dare to poke your head into Lingguan Temple. Do you want to die?”
Xie Lingya looked up. When he saw Huang Jinyang standing behind covering his eyes, his tone immediately changed, “Classmate Huang is here, come in.”
Huang Jinyang burst into tears and stood there not daring to move. Xie Lingya went out and gave him a hand.
When Huang Jinyang entered the door, the huge creature next to him just lowered his head, and his blood-red eyes met his. Huang Jinyang immediately felt as if he was in a sea of blood hell, so his whole body stiffened, and he was almost pushed in by Xie Lingya.
Fortunately, as soon as he entered the door, that feeling immediately dissipated. It was like two worlds inside and outside the door.
Huang Jinyang felt like he had saved his life. He sat down on a chair in the yard, greeted Shi Changxuan beside him, and murmured: “…It really needs to be closed.”
There seemed to be no one beside the Taoist temple. He thought it was safe. Although he didn’t do anything, he almost went blind after taking a look…
After Xie Lingya pushed Huang Jinyang in, he continued to chase away the ghost king at the door but he had to be careful about whether there were passers-by around him.
“If you want a Reporting God, why don’t you go dig in the mountains yourself? Why do you always come to see us?” Xie Lingya completely lost the chills he felt when he saw the ghost king at first, wondering why this ghost was so thick-skinned.
The most hateful thing was that ordinary magic couldn’t drive him away, and any method that could drive him away required Xie Lingya to spend a lot of effort.
The Ghost King was not happy anymore, “It’s unreasonable. I am passing by and want to get acquainted with you. I came to ask for a drink, but you are so rude! Forget it, why should I put my hot face on your cold butt[2]?”
Xie Lingya: “… “
Xie Lingya: “… Hot face?”
Ghost King: “…”
The Ghost King waved his sleeves and walked away, “I won’t care about you!”
Xie Lingya stood there and watched the Ghost King disappear and closed the door again. The door was closed. He said in his heart that he was still a ghost king after all, so why was he talking nonsense?
He had already canceled the conscription with the ghost kings from all directions and sent them away. It had only been less than a week. What are you doing? Are you passing by Qiyang again? Are you not embarrassed to lose your temper??
….
Xie Lingya first gave Huang Jinyang a hot compress for his eyes, and then accepted the dry goods he bought, “Thank you, how did you know that we were still discussing just now and wanted to eat seafood.”
Huang Jinyang said weakly: “When I got to the mall, a ghost reminded me…”
Xie Lingya: “…”
Xie Lingya was suddenly embarrassed, “I really didn’t let him hint to you!”
This sounded so much like he was asking for a gift.
“I didn’t think so. I thought it was pretty good. I originally wanted to give you wine, but he was right. Giving wine is not as good as giving food.” Huang Jinyang also hurriedly explained.
Xie Lingya took out the talisman paper and cinnabar, drew a set of talismans according to Shi Changxuan’s instructions, and then stamped it with his heart seal.
Normally Xie Lingya wouldn’t feel tired when drawing talismans but if he was using the Du Gong Seal, he would feel very tired. It took too much effort. Last time, he was comatose for a month after inviting the Patriarch and drawing all the talismans with Du Gong seal.
Xie Lingya was a little tired after drawing this time, but he recovered soon.
However, the next steps could be carried out by Shi Changxuan. He then used the talisman method to close Huang Jinyang’s naturally opened yin and yang eyes.
He asked Huang Jinyang to stay till night just to test whether the talisman paper worked on the spot. After performing the spell on him, he called Qin Limin to take a look. Sure enough, Huang Jinyang could no longer see the negative things.
The stone that had been weighing on his mind for more than twenty years finally fell to the ground. Huang Jinyang tried his best to open his left eye and experienced a completely “clean” world. Although he knew that those things still existed, at least he could not see them, and… he would never have to. Someone had even misunderstood that he was blind in his left eye before!
It was already late at this time. After thanking them, Huang Jinyang said goodbye to the two of them and left Baoyang Temple.
