Wang Yuji’s passion was extinguished by Xie Lingya’s “chi”. He stared at him for two seconds and then stretched out his hand to pull his ear, “What are you talking about!”

It hurts so much even if pulled by a soul! He is worthy of being the city god!

“Uncle, I just fought with someone! How can you treat a war hero like this?” Xie Lingya was about to burst into tears, “I just said the truth… Hey, hey, hey, actually I analyzed the current situation. I think if there are not enough people, we can ask the monks for help! Everyone has the responsibility to subdue demons and monsters!”

Only Wang Yuji could still do something to Xie Lingya. Father Xie didn’t even dare to hit the child. Because the more he hit, the more rebellious he became. Wang Yuji didn’t have so many concerns.

Shi Changxuan stretched out his hand to protect Xie Lingya, “Teacher, he is also worried.”

Wang Yuji let him go, put his hands behind his back and looked at him, only to feel that this disciple was also lying with his eyes open. But it was not the first day that he knew about Xie Lingya’s character. He turned the page and said, “The last sentence might be a solution. If he has really escaped, it is reasonable for Buddhism and Taoism to join hands.”

When dealing with Hongyang Dao before, the two religions also joined forces, which was also a good example.

Wang Yuji asked a few more questions about Xiao Dian. When Xiao Dian’s injury healed, he would accept Xiao Dian as his disciple. Xie Lingya wanted to know whether Xiao Dian’s life span could be restored, but unfortunately Wang Yuji didn’t know. It was hard to predict the will of heaven. It depended on Xiao Dian’s own chance.

“Then I will do my best and leave it to fate.” Xie Lingya went through the methods of praying for longevity in his mind again.

At this time, Wang Yuji took out the seal, and after sensing it for a moment, he said, “Not good…”

Xie Lingya asked, “Did he really escape?”

Wang Yuji organized his words and said, “At the beginning, the underworld suppressed him and used Taoist scriptures to sort out his mind every day. Not long ago, the underworld found that Pei Xiaoshan and other evil spirits had escaped, and hurriedly checked other places, and found that he was still listening to the scriptures in the original place. Just now I took a closer look and found that it was just a fake body that could recite the scriptures.”

This was really the worst result. If Xie Lingya said, this son of the underworld should not be kept, but they instead let him understand the way to escape.

“He really escaped… Is there any way to find him?” Xie Lingya asked.

“It’s difficult. The vitality in his body can be said to be real, and he does use Taoist magic.” Wang Yuji frowned and said, “As long as he doesn’t show up actively, anyone can only see that he is a normal human being.

“But no one knows when he will take action. It probably took a lot of effort to escape from the underworld, and he may not take action for a while.”

Wang Yuji said, and suddenly sighed: “Since he deliberately let Pei Xiaoshan go, the first thing he would do in the future may be to smash my tablets and Taoist temple.”

“Uncle, don’t be such a pessimist!” Xie Lingya said anxiously, “I also think that when he came to the human world, he might be confused by the colorful world.”

Wang Yuji looked at him with amusement, “You are dreaming. I just think that in such a vast sea of people, if he really has such a goal, it will narrow the scope of search.”

That’s right, the world is so big, let alone 500,000 Taoists, it may not be possible to find him if everyone they knew was involved, as they would not be able to distinguish him from ordinary people.

“Alas. I’m not afraid of thieves stealing, I’m afraid of thieves thinking about it. Is there really no way to find him?” Xie Lingya said.

But that was not an ordinary person after all, but a rare creature in Youdu, who could be said to be both alive and dead, and dead and alive, and even the ghost messenger could not tell the difference.

Shi Changxuan suddenly said: “He was born in the mountain of Youdu. Will other Yin creatures on the mountain feel anything when they see him?”

Wang Yuji thought about it and his eyes lit up and said: “It is a bit possible. The Yin creatures in Youdu that I saw at the beginning were naturally very respectful and kind to him. Maybe we can really start from this.”

“Write this down first and study it later.” Xie Lingya asked again, “What does he look like?”

Wang Yuji shook his head and said, “It’s useless to know, he can change his shape. However, the original form I saw of him was a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old, who looked like an ordinary student, even a little cute and likable.”

At this time, Shi Changxuan coughed a few more times, and Wang Yuji came back to his senses and said: “Go to rest early, this is not something that can be solved in a short time, and the underworld will definitely allocate people to follow up.”

The two nodded.

Wang Yuji finally ordered: “Lingya, you…”

Seeing his conflicted look, Xie Lingya said: “I will definitely protect the Taoist temple. I will also expand it, so I can’t let people destroy it.”

Wang Yuji said helplessly: “Protect yourself as well.”

….

After sending Wang Yuji away, Xie Lingya stayed for a while and then said: “Let’s go to my room.”

He helped Shi Changxuan walk to his room.

Today everyone slept in the temple. There were two beds in Xie Lingya’s room, and naturally two Taoists came to squeeze in for a night. When they went back, the two were already sleeping soundly on the other bed.

Shi Changxuan sat on the bed, and Xie Lingya poured him a cup of warm water. This injury was not fatal because he was rescued soon, but he still needed to recuperate. Now he looked very pale.

Xie Lingya saw that Shi Changxuan looked a little weak and thought of him blocking the blow for him in the rented house, with lightning flashing all over his body, and still forbearingly signaling him to avoid it… Xie Lingya recalled that look and was absent-minded for a while. After Shi Changxuan finished drinking the water, he took the cup and called out hesitantly: “Senior Brother…”

Shi Changxuan: “What’s wrong?”

“Well, I don’t need to thank you for your kindness.” Xie Lingya said embarrassedly.

Shi Changxuan said: “You should thank me.”

“…” Xie Lingya was shocked, “Ah?”

Shi Changxuan looked at Xie Lingya indifferently, not knowing what emotion he was feeling.

Xie Lingya could only say weakly: “Thank you.”

Shi Changxuan suddenly smiled at him and said softly: “You’re welcome.”

He seemed to have just said three words casually and a very routine answer, but Xie Lingya felt his face flush, and he couldn’t tell what was wrong.

Xie Lingya raised one hand to cover his face, “Just squeeze in the Taoist temple these days. If you want to go to class, tell me and I’ll help you.”

Shi Changxuan saw him covering his face, and he just thought it was funny, so he stretched out his hand to pat it.

Xie Lingya trembled for a while, then his other hand loosened, and the cup fell to the ground. Fortunately, Shi Changxuan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and caught the cup in a flash, otherwise it would have hit the ground.

“…Oh my god.” Xie Lingya put down his hand in annoyance.

This time, Shi Changxuan saw clearly that his cheeks were flushed, and his fingers suddenly loosened, and the cup fell to the ground with a “bang” and broke. It still couldn’t escape this fate.

This sound broke the silence.

“What, what!” On the other bed, the two Taoist priests who were sleeping soundly were suddenly awakened. Everyone was frightened tonight, and they were still a little scared. They thus almost hugged each other at such a loud sound.

“It’s nothing.” Xie Lingya covered his face and said, “My hands are shaking from the injury.”

The two Taoist priests felt admiration and love, “Teacher Xie, go to sleep quickly, we will pick up the trash.”

Xie Lingya immediately took off his shoes and went to bed, “Thank you.” He crawled to the inside of the bed, covered his head and fell asleep, “Good night.”

Shi Changxuan half sat, breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

….

When he woke up the next day, the whole Baoyang Temple smelled of Chinese medicine, and almost everyone had to drink medicine.

It went without saying that people like Xiao Dian, Shi Changxuan, and Fang Zhe, as well as others who were frightened or contaminated by Yin Qi, also drank some medicine to calm their minds. Seeing that everyone was drinking medicine, Xie Lingya rubbed his chest and asked for a bowl of tranquilizer.

Hai Guanchao looked at him, “What tranquilizer are you drinking?”

Xie Lingya: “I was also frightened.”

Hai Guanchao: “…nonsense.”

He had known Xie Lingya for so long, but he had never seen Xie Lingya really frightened. When others were frightened by bumping into Yin objects, he would at most shout “F**k” and go to seek revenge with resentment, just like being frightened by stepping on dog shit, which did not affect one’s mind at all.

“I was really frightened, give it to me quickly!” Xie Lingya shouted.

He saw Shi Changxuan coming out of the room and quickly retracted his gaze. He only urged Hai Guanchao, but he felt that Shi Changxuan was still looking at him. Could it be that he heard what he just said?

Hai Guanchao had no choice but to pour a bowl of Chinese medicine for Xie Lingya.

Xie Lingya pinched his nose and drank it all. When he opened his eyes, he saw Shi Changxuan standing in front of him.

Shi Changxuan: “I don’t have many classes these two days, but I have an exam the day after tomorrow, so I still have to go.”

“Okay, I can help you.” Xie Lingya turned to Hai Guanchao and said, “Another bowl.”

Hai Guanchao: “…”

Hai Guanchao put the medicine away, “Go to hell, go to hell, you think this is coffee, it’s not enough for you…”

Xie Lingya sighed, saying this, didn’t he see that Shi Changxuan felt weird.
