His thoughts are indeed much simpler, he completely doesn't understand that we are making a show of repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chen Cang.
Xu Jinn patted Chán Xīn's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "We are all people who follow orders, we must be calm and not angry."
Feyuan showed everyone to get on the car first.
After getting on the car, he told Chán Xī that it was best for the Taoist masters to look down upon families like theirs from the side doors. After all, the Liang family would also have to join in the action, and at critical moments, they would definitely be of great use.
Liang Jieshi was not much better than Chán Xī. His eyes were filled with confusion, muttering, "I feel like I understand what you want to do, but at the same time, I don't understand it. It seems like something is going on."
Lao Gong hummed softly, telling Liang Jieshi not to think too much, as soon as this matter was settled, he would grant the Liang family a great opportunity. During this period, Liang Jieshi could listen to the command without any condition.
Then, Lao Gong jumped onto Liang Jieshi's shoulder and told me not to wait for him tonight; he would spend the night with Liang Jieshi.
If someone else said this, it would definitely have ambiguity. Lao Gong is always careless, I have no objection to it.
I directed the way, and they drove me to the hotel.
Afterwards, Fei Fang and Liang Jieshi's car left as well, heading to make preparations.
Lao Gong must have some secret arrangements to follow Liang Jieshi.
After I returned to my room, my body recovered slightly.
Sitting by the bed, though tired and weary, I did not fall asleep.
I just kept staring blankly at the front.
The fact that Qiu Yoyo followed me made me feel very complicated.
Her dominant soul controls everything, which is actually quite good. The two of us are not on the same path; she has her own way of thinking.
However, it is obvious that the part of her soul under the headless woman's influence affected her, causing her to follow me instead of moving on.
"People and ghosts are on different paths; I have my own way, and you have yours."
"Come on, follow me. There's no guarantee of a result, let alone safety."
I let out a sigh at these words.
I already have Ji Yue Yue, and it's impossible to have another shadow wife. Besides, I'm more aware that the dominant soul of Qiu Yoyo wouldn't think this way. She was just guided.
The part of the soul from the headless woman is too resolute in its will.
"I know you can hear me," I spoke again, my tone becoming serious: "I have already made my choice. You are just a residue of spirit that has sprouted up. Lao Qin has controlled you and exploited you, and now that you are whole, you should not use this perverse sentiment that was born from being exploited to control your own being. Accept your identity, accept that your name is Qiu Yoyo, this is the most important thing for you, and not me."
But my words still had no effect. In front of me, there was nothing but emptiness, and Qiu Yoyo's ghostly remains did not appear.
I waited for about ten minutes, but she still didn't appear.
I knew that my words had failed in persuasion.
Taking a deep breath, I said again, "Qiu Yoyo, can't you hold onto your true heart? What would your fiancé think if he knew about this? You need to control yourself, not be subdued by the residual soul!"
I spoke with determination.
I couldn't persuade the headless woman, so I could only motivate Qiu Yoyo.
It's not that I'm unfeeling, but this method is the correct one.
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound, "dǔ dǔ dǔ", I narrowed my eyes and asked who it was?
I got up and walked quietly to the door, looking through the peephole.
The light in the hallway was very dim, and there was indeed someone standing by the door.
It was an old Taoist in a straw hat, Sun Dao Long who protected Tao Mingyi!
What does he want with me?
With a slight hesitation, I still opened the door.
I met Sun Dao Long's gaze. His eyes were very clean, his shoulders similar to Tang Wu's, and he looked like an ancient pine tree.
His eyes were observing me, and I was also carefully observing him.
Although I have given Sun Dao Long many speculations, even speculating that he studied in the Four Regulations Mountain and later left, his caution still hasn't disappeared.
Especially when I think about disguising myself.
Even as I ponder, I consider the possibility of disguise. Can this Sun Dao Long be someone I know, or someone who has had contact with me? Does he have a grudge against me?
Even as I consider this, I associate it with Second Elder!
However, from the shape of Sun Dao Long's glasses, ears, and entire facial contour, there is no connection with Second Elder.
I don't understand fortune-telling or feng shui, but from the perspective of embalming and makeup, humans cannot be changed. The most difficult parts to paint are the eyes and ears.
The nose can be padded up, the lips can be made thinner or thicker, but the ears and eyes are difficult to change.
Another point is that Second Elder was eventually stabbed in the back by Wu Ling. In order to save himself, Wu Ling killed his own relatives, so Second Elder could not possibly stay in the Jade Egg Dharma Field.
"Did we know each other, Grandmaster Sun?" I asked, breaking the silence.
"I don't know you," Sun Dao Long shook his head and introduced himself, "My name is Sun Miao."
"Then, what brings you here?" I maintained a calm tone.
"Yes, some trivial matters," Sun Miao replied.
"Please speak," I made a gesture of inviting him to continue.
Sun Miao took out a porcelain bottle from his chest and handed it to me, only then did he say, "The fetal spirit pills of the Jade Egg Dharma Field can replenish qi and even life force. Since you are working on behalf of the Jade Egg Dharma Field, you cannot be in fatigue. Take it."
My pupils contracted slightly.
Does Sun Miao's coming here indicate goodwill?
Before I could take it, Sun Miao continued, "The Wengji Dharma Field is very harsh. In critical situations, if there are changes in the tomb, you should lean on the Jade Egg Dharma Field. The thing about the Ding family was a misunderstanding from the beginning. Wu Ling, your elder disciple from Si Guishan, is still in the Jade Egg Dharma Field. We were friends with Si Guishan from the start."
I finally understood Sun Miao's intentions.
Or, perhaps this is Tao Mingyi's intention?
"Have you ever studied on Si Guishan, Grandmaster Sun?" I did not accept the porcelain bottle.
After a moment of thought, Sun Miao replied, "I am not from a Taoist temple, and my teacher was a wandering Taoist. My knowledge is eclectic. If you feel that the sword I used resembles the Taoist arts of Si Guishan, perhaps it's because my teacher had teachings from Si Guishan."
His explanation was reasonable and in line with the situation.
In the next moment, Sun Miao's hand moved slightly, and the porcelain bottle fell onto my chest.
I quickly caught it, and Sun Miao turned and walked out.
After just a few steps, he disappeared from my sight.
Frowning, I did not follow him.
Closing the door, I went back to the bed and once again took out a porcelain bottle from my chest.
The fetal spirit pill, Tao Zhi gave me a piece of.
I dared not eat it.
By some twist of fate, Sun Miao gave me another one, which was also according to Tao Mingyi's request.
I took out two pills and looked at them. On the outside, there was no obvious difference. They were smooth as jade, and had a faint sweet-scented aroma.
Could it be that Tao Zhi really has no scheme, or maybe his and Wu Ling's scheme is just to first resolve my suspicions?
Otherwise, it should have been possible to identify the problem with the two pills.
Should I take the pill that Sun Miao gave me?
Restoring vitality was small, but replenishing life essence was big. For a moment, a lot of anxiety rose in my heart, making my breathing heavy.
In the end, I stopped the pulsating desire and did not eat the fetal spirit pill. I set it aside separately and decided to make a judgment after Lao Gong returned.
