“Strange.” Tuan Tuanyi asked Lu Wenqing curiously, “Why does Master Kuang look a little unhappy?”
Lu Wenqing had killed a ghost for the first time today, so he was in a good mood. Seeing his friend’s depressed look, he didn’t think much about it: “Maybe he was tired from fighting with those ghosts just now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tuan Tuanyi saw Kuang Zhiming turn his head again and glance at his master dimly.
This glance had a mixture of love and hate. Tuan Tuanyi couldn’t help but shudder. He secretly glanced at Xu Xiaofeng who was standing next to Kuang Zhiming, and couldn’t help but go to his junior brother and chatter: “Lu Que, don’t you think Master Kuang is a little bit wrong? He already has a wife, he wouldn’t be so shameless as to have any evil thoughts about our master, right?”
Shuo Zong: “?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kuang Zhiming said, “Our local Taoist temple will hold a blessing ceremony at the end of next month. Master Wei, are you interested in participating?”
Tuan Tuanyi: “Wow.”
Shuo Zong: “…”
Kuang Zhiming then found that the two disciples of Taicang Sect were staring at him intently, one with a cold look and the other with a strange look, which made him confused. What’s wrong? Didn’t he just want to communicate and learn more from Wei Xi, who was very advanced in Taoism and had an unclear faction?
Wei Xi agreed without hesitation. Kuang Zhiming felt uncomfortable being looked at, and he was really upset, so he didn’t want to stay any longer. Thus he held Tan Fu’s petition and said goodbye, “I’ll leave first. I don’t know who wrote this petition. I’ll take it back to Liandu Temple and investigate with other Taoist friends. I’ll tell you the results then.”
Wei Xi nodded, and when he was about to leave when he suddenly called out to stop him: “Daoist Kuang…”
Kuang Zhiming paused: “What?”
Wei Xi’s eyes swept across his face, and then turned to his wife Xu Xiaofeng beside him: “…How do you usually practice dual cultivation?”
Kuang Zhiming: “…”
Xu Xiaofeng: “…”
Shuo Zong: “…”
Kuang Zhiming felt that the cold eyes of the handsome disciple of Taicang Sect had suddenly become particularly sharp, but he had no time to pay attention to it. He just stared at Wei Xi in amazement. However, Wei Xi still looked at him with serious and curious eyes as if he was doing academic research, waiting for an answer.
Kuang Zhiming’s face flushed red from being stared at by his clear gaze. So, he simply couldn’t stay there for a moment, so he grabbed his wife’s hand and turned around and ran away in embarrassment.
Wei Xi: “???”
He turned to look at his two disciples in confusion. Tuan Tuanyi had a look on his face that said “F**k, Master, you are so awesome”, while Shuo Zong’s expression was even more indescribable. After a long while, he stepped forward with a gloomy face and pressed his shoulders: “…I told you, those are…”
“Bad things?” Wei Xi interrupted him and analyzed with great disapproval, “How is this possible? Tuanyi said that their rapid progress in cultivation might be due to dual cultivation. From this point of view, dual cultivation is obviously a good thing, Tuanyi, am I right?”
Tuan Tuanyi looked at his junior brother, who seemed to be freezing him, and said awkwardly: “Ha! Ha! Ha!”
Wei Xi snorted and looked unwillingly in the direction where Kuang Zhiming and his wife left: “Since it is good for cultivation, I will definitely try it after I find out their skills.”
Shuo Zong: “…………”
Tuan Tuanyi felt that he was about to be tortured by his junior fellow student’s gaze.
….
Kuang Zhiming and his wife fled a long way in panic, then he looked back with lingering fear, blushing and saying, “What kind of question is he asking… This Taicang Sect is so weird from top to bottom, it doesn’t look like a legitimate sect at all.”
His wife Xu Xiaofeng was also very upset. The couple huddled together and muttered for a long time, from Wei Xi’s open recruitment at the ghost-catching site to his simple and rude method of driving away the substitute. The two of them didn’t know where to start talking about what they had to say. They couldn’t help but take out their phones to search for who this Taicang Sect was. Who knew that the top search result was actually a Weibo post. They clicked on it and saw –
Repost this Taicang Zongshi tablet, and you will be given a Pure Heart Talisman within 24 hours…
The couple looked at each other and were almost overwhelmed by the overwhelming complaints in their hearts.
What kind of psychopathic sect was this!
….
As soon as Tuan Tuanyi returned to the sect, he was bombarded with a hundred Heart Purification Mantras assigned by his junior fellow apprentice, requiring him to get them inspected before dark.
He almost fell to his knees after hearing this. He felt very sick. When the scheduled lottery alarm rang, he was almost bald from drawing talismans.
The new stone tablet of Taicang Sect had sparked a lot of discussion among fans. In addition to those who prayed for blessings and fulfilled their wishes, many of the comments under the lottery Weibo praised the new stone tablet for looking majestic and solemn. However, Tuan Tuanyi was not happy at all at the moment and was in a depressed mood during the lottery.
The Pure Heart Talismans on the table were almost piled up into a mountain. He randomly picked ten fans and gave one to each of them.
Many of the fans who won the prize had recently forwarded the blessing spell, and after learning that they had won the prize, they happily came back to fulfill their wish.
The previous repost of the Blessing Spell had caused a small-scale heated discussion, and the Purifying Heart Spell given away in this lottery also aroused the curiosity of many people. The Blessing Spell, as the name suggested, was to attract good fortune, but the name of the Purifying Heart Spell sounded much more abstract. Under the microblog of the lottery, many people asked what the spell was used for while absorbing the luck.
Some people who couldn’t stand it laughed at him, “You really take this kind of feudal superstition seriously? It’s obviously a joke! Isn’t that a fortune-bringing spell just a matter of probability? Among so many people who forwarded it, there must be a few who have good things happen to them, right? Do you really think that’s the purpose of the spell?”
Tuan Tuanyi couldn’t help sobbing when he saw this.
This person was absolutely right, the blessing spell was totally useless. Look at himself, he was almost in such bad luck!
But having said that, as it concerned the reputation of his sect, he still came out to explain righteously, telling his Weibo fans that the talisman originated from a Taoist book, and that carrying it with you can cleanse the wearer’s distracting thoughts and enhance the wearer’s intentions. It was a very ancient and powerful talisman.
After all, not to mention the Blessing Spell, he was forced by his junior fellow student to copy the Heart Purifying Spell nearly a thousand times. Every spell contained his hard work and sweat, and he didn’t want such a serious thing to be called a “joke”.
However, below the Weibo post of explanation, there were still a lot of jokes and laughter. Tuan Tuanyi was quite helpless and had to give up the science popularization and continue to copy homework as punishment.
….
Yu Cui was at work when she suddenly received a call from the courier saying that a package had been delivered.
She couldn’t remember what she had bought online for a moment, and when she went to the front desk, she found that her package was actually an envelope, which felt empty when she held it.
The colleague at the front desk asked her: “Yu Cui, what did you buy?”
“I don’t know either.” She opened it with confusion and looked inside, only to find that inside the envelope was a thin piece of yellow paper. She immediately remembered something and took it out with a laugh. “Oh, a few days ago I got a talisman from the Taicang Sect on Weibo, and I thought they were joking, but I didn’t expect they would actually send it to me!”
A colleague looked at the talisman in her hand with a strange expression: “No way, what era is it? You still believe in this? A talisman to attract wealth?”
“No, the blogger said it was a mantra to purify one’s mind and reduce desires.” Yu Cui herself found it ridiculous. After thinking for a while, she folded the talisman and put it in her pocket. “Don’t worry, I didn’t take it seriously. Now that I have received it, I can just play with it. It doesn’t cost any money anyway.”
She and her colleague laughed and joked at the front desk, then sighed, “Oh, I thought the diet pills I bought overseas had arrived. They were so happy when they came out.”
Her colleague looked at her disapprovingly: “Diet pills are unhealthy. If you really want to lose weight, you might as well exercise and eat less. I saw you drink three large cups of milk tea and eat a whole bag of potato chips this morning, and you didn’t miss any of your three meals. No diet pills will work for you if you eat this way.”
Yu Cui understood her colleague’s reasoning: “But I just want to eat, I’m greedy, I have a good appetite, I’m just too lazy to move, and I can’t control it.”
She was a serious laziness patient. She had had three or four gym memberships, but she didn’t go to the gym ten times even after each membership expired. She also had a serious procrastination problem. She often put off work until tomorrow and finished it just to meet the deadline. If she didn’t have such poor self-control, she wouldn’t be so nervous and confused every day.
Yu Cui sighed. To be honest, she hadn’t started working on the report that the manager asked her to do this morning. It had been delayed for the entire morning. Sigh…
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, a strong impulse suddenly burst out in her chest, which made her spirit suddenly shake.
I really want to make reports!!!! I really want to make reports!!!! I don’t even have the interest to eat if I don’t make reports!!!
The colleague who was chatting with her had not yet thought of the next topic when he saw Yu Cui opposite him suddenly running towards her work station with excitement on her face, as if she had taken drugs.
“……???”
