Such remarks in the netherworld are often said after one has crossed the boundary into the realm of the dead.
If it weren't for Han Qucai and his telling me the truth, I would probably continue to be deceived by Han Da Zi.
He's hidden so well.
Suddenly, I recalled that on the day the supervision site at the Daoist hall incident occurred, Han Da Zi had told me that Han Qucai would be reborn…
In fact, at that time, he had already started hiding his true emotions...
"When will you return to Qiy Academy Village again?" Han Da Zi asked in a low voice, his gaze sweeping over Yu Xiu.
I answered honestly, saying that the leading figure was making preparations, and once they were ready, we would go.
Han Zaizi nodded and said, "The Taoist has little time left. Besides seeking revenge, I will also take the opportunity to deal with that mountain of corpses and forest of flesh, to lessen some potential dangers for Jin Yang and to accumulate more meritorious virtues for my son."
"Han Zaizi is merciful," I said again, bowing my hands together.
"Han Qucai, two rooms to accommodate Xiao You, the divine manifestation, and this young lady."
Han Da Zi turned his head and glanced at the young Taoist behind him.
"Yes, Master," the young Taoist's voice was still youthful.
He made a respectful gesture, indicating for me and Yu Xiu to follow him.
Walking back and forth, I was indeed tired. Whether to rest at the Guangsi or stay at the Supervised Daoist Hall, there was no difference.
Staying here for a while and lingering in Han Da Zi's sight might make it easier to clear some of the suspicion.
Otherwise, if I leave now, by the time Han Da Zi leaves the Supervised Daoist Hall and returns to find that Han Qu's main soul is missing, he might suspect me.
As the young Taoist walked out of the rear hall, he led me in the direction of Sun Zhuo's residence.
As we passed by Sun Zhuo's courtyard, I discovered that the small yard had already been sealed with a notice.
It seems that no matter how Mingjing True Master tries to defend Sun Zhuo, in Han Da Zi's eyes, he has already given Sun Zhuo a definitive judgment.
After walking for a few more minutes, we arrived at another small courtyard where the young Taoist finally invited me and Yu Xiu to enter.
I glanced at the young Taoist again, and he appeared youthful, with features and brows that had a slight resemblance to Han Qucai.
He definitely couldn't have a blood relation with Han Da Zi; one, the age difference is too great, and two, Han Da Zi wouldn't risk another son to save Han Qucai.
"Young Taoist, why did you enter Changfeng Taoist Temple? At your age, not studying, did your family agree?" I asked the young Taoist a little more.
The young Taoist looked up at me, his voice clear and crisp.
"My father is ill, and my mother left with another uncle. I have no one to take care of me at school, and my father has no money."
"Master found me and said I have a unique physique and excellent potential. I became his disciple, and he used a lot of temple offerings money to treat my father's illness."
"Master is very powerful, even more so than on TV. He can even create sparks."
In his words, the young Taoist was extremely devout and trusted Han Da Zi greatly, even with a hint of worship.
"What if he wants your life?"
All of a sudden, Yu Xiu said something, her tone hollow.
My face suddenly changed.
The young Taoist was startled and stared blankly at Yu Xiu.
"What... what?" The young Taoist's face turned slightly pale.
"Miss Yu's words weren't clear. What she meant was, if your master is injured and needs you to sacrifice your life, what would you do?" I forced a change of topic.
The young Taoist pursed his lips, "oh," and then said, "my father taught me that I should repay the favor of a drop of water with a spring of gratitude. I will learn well and later be able to help my master." His small face was firm, and his eyes were determined.
"Indeed, you're a good child. Go now," I urged, fearing that Yu Xiu might say something shocking.
The young Taoist slightly bent his body in a bow, then turned and left the courtyard.
I turned to look at Yu Xiu, and she looked at me with an empty gaze.
It seemed like there was a faint glint in her eyes, and then suddenly vanished.
"He is pitiful," Yu Xiu murmured again.
"He won't be in trouble. Don't say such things; they might bring trouble." I warned Yu Xiu solemnly.
Yu Xiu, indeed, sometimes helps others.
Just like Hua Ying, she called her Hua Ying sister and was willing to communicate with her.
That young Taoist clearly touched on something in Yu Xiu.
"Oh," Yu Xiu nodded.
I slightly composed myself, hoping that the young Taoist wouldn't say anything inappropriate.
I forcefully explained Yu Xiu's words. Han Da Zi was usually very meticulous, so the young Taoist shouldn't dare to say or ask anything.
I pointed to a room, indicating for Yu Xiu to go rest there. She wasn't allowed to leave the courtyard without being called.
After Yu Xiu entered that room, I entered another room.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the room, my body suddenly felt heavier, as if there was a heavy burden on my shoulders!
The thing was astonishingly heavy, pressing me to the ground. I fell heavily to my knees.
The next second, the heavy object vanished.
I turned my head abruptly, with an expression of incredible suspicion, and couldn't help but become short of breath.
But when I looked, there was nothing…
The door was still open, and the courtyard was empty.
Mysteriously, the thing appeared on my body…
Plague Demons?
That can't be right. Four Rule Clear Mirror is still on me, so the Plague Demons shouldn't be able to come out!
Rapidly closing the door, I took out the Four Rule Clear Mirror and held it up to my face.
What I saw was that my face was normal.
The next second, I realized something was wrong…
Behind me, a shadow vaguely appeared…
The shadow was fading slowly... but it was still recognizable as having broad arms, as if the shoulders were connected side by side, and it had two heads!
Changshan?
No, it wasn't some other Changshan suddenly arriving; it was the daytime patrol that had been swallowed by the earth's qi and transformed into a Changshan appearance!
Plague Demon, you want to release it?
However, it was suppressed by the Four Rule Clear Mirror for only a moment?
Just as the shadow was fading completely.
Suddenly, it solidified once more, forming two fierce and pale faces!
Changshan suddenly opened its mouth and sucked towards me fiercely!
The Four Rule Clear Mirror suddenly erupted into a copper glow, and Changshan instantly dissipated into thin air...
The copper glow dimmed, and the Four Rule Clear Mirror returned to normal…
But in that instant, I was already sweating profusely.
This Plague Demon, what bizarre methods it has…
It seems that during this period, he wasn't just watching me every day, but also thinking of a way.
Fortunately, the Four Rule Clear Mirror's suppressive effect was strong enough. Otherwise, with just a few more seconds, I might have been killed…
He must have known the outcome, so he would rather destroy me than escape as quickly as possible?
However, when Mao San said those words earlier, it should have been fine.
That means that somehow, the suppressive effect of the Four Rule Clear Mirror had weakened?
Thinking of this, I shuddered.
Why?
But this artifact is fine, without any damage at all?
I lowered my head and examined the Four Rule Clear Mirror carefully. I found no problems at all.
Could it be that my deduction was wrong? Could it be that the Plague Demon was able to attack me despite the Four Rule Clear Mirror due to some other reason?
At this moment, the sound of knocking on the door suddenly came.
My reaction speed was extremely fast. I quickly put away the Four Rule Clear Mirror.
"Who is it?" I asked in a deep voice.
