Kapitel 1

Destroy evil

Reply [4]: 1) Encounters

Xiao Zhen ran frantically through the deserted wilderness, pursued by a horde of ghosts with terrifying laughter. Like a mouse being chased by a cat, Xiao Zhen could only be toyed with by the ghosts. The more Xiao Zhen ran, the more shrill the ghosts' laughter became.

Xiao Zhen finally ran until she was exhausted. One of the leaders of the ghosts approached Xiao Zhen and said to her, "You should run, otherwise it's not fun to just accept your life like this."

Looking at the horrific scene around her—with severed heads, severed hands, and ghosts whose faces were already being eaten away by maggots—Xiao Zhen finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

The leader of the demons, somewhat impatient, grabbed Xiao Zhen: "Fine, since you don't want to escape anymore, I'll take your life."

Just as the ghosts were about to take Xiao Zhen's life, two golden lights suddenly flew from the other side and chopped off the ghosts' hands with two whooshing sounds. In their panic, the white-haired boy quickly approached.

Just as he approached the demons, the white-haired youth emitted two golden lights from his hands, clearing a path for Xiao Zhen. The lead demon, with his two severed hands, fought back, and the others joined the battle. The white-haired youth drew his sword and charged forward, instantly killing four or five demons. However, his gaze never left the lead demon. The lead demon struggled, and his two severed hands returned to normal. He grabbed Xiao Zhen again and threatened the white-haired youth not to come any closer. But the white-haired youth seemed to have no intention of stopping. Instead, he approached the lead demon even faster. Just as the lead demon was about to kill Xiao Zhen, the white-haired youth's sword was already at the demon's throat.

The white-haired youth chuckled twice at the ghosts, and before the leader could react, he forcefully dragged him away, causing the leader's head to fall to the ground. The remaining ghosts, seeing this, scattered in panic.

The white-haired boy said to Xiao Zhen, "Little sister, don't be afraid. No one can take you away anymore."

Xiao Zhen, still shaken, asked the white-haired boy, "Brother, who are you?" The white-haired boy smiled but did not answer.

Xiao Zhen woke up, and everyone cheered. When Xiao Zhen opened her eyes, she was surrounded by the concerned eyes of her family. After looking around, Xiao Zhen saw Wen Qing packing his things. Xiao Zhen recognized him at a glance as the person who had just saved her, except that his hair had turned from white to black.

Xiao Zhen happily called Wen Qing "brother." Before anyone knew what was happening, Wen Qing packed up his things, walked up to Xiao Zhen, patted her head, and handed the talisman in his hand to Xiao Zhen's mother: "Remember to burn these three talismans in yin-yang water with a little salt and seven banyan leaves before sunset, and then use it to wipe her body."

Xiao Zhen's mother pressed, "What is 'yin-yang water'?" Wen Qing replied, "It's just raw water mixed with boiled water. Do you have any more questions?" Xiao Zhen's mother nodded, and Wen Qing then bid farewell to everyone and left.

Just as Wenqing reached the car, Xiaozhen's aunt came running out, calling, "Wait a minute." Hearing someone call him, Wenqing turned around: "Is something wrong?" Xiaozhen's aunt said, "It's like this, I saw you revive the unconscious Xiaozhen with my own eyes. I'm very curious about this. Can I talk to you about it?"

Wenqing shrugged at the curious woman in front of her: "Whatever, but I don't know what you want to know, or what the point of knowing would be."

"Ya-Xuan, what are you doing? Come in and help me!" Xiao-Zhen's aunt wanted to continue, but someone inside was calling her, so she had to tell Wen-Qing: "I'm sorry, it's hard for me to tell you what I'm trying to do right now. Anyway, I'll go to your temple to find you tomorrow. Okay, that's settled then. Bye-bye."

Before Wenqing could reply, she rushed into the house. Wenqing smiled helplessly, threw her things into the car, and drove back to the temple.

The next morning, when Wenqing came to open the temple gate, she saw the woman from the previous night already there, holding the temple key. Before she even reached the gate, the woman ran up to Wenqing and said, "Good morning! I've come as promised today."

Wenqing: "According to the agreement? What agreement? I don't think I promised you anything yesterday."

The woman thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, I'm here today."

Wenqing: "Whatever you want. Temples are places that anyone can come to." After saying that, Wenqing started her busy day of work, but the woman kept circling around Wenqing: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yaxuan."

Wenqing: "I know."

Reply [7]: Ya-xuan looked amazed: "Wow, you actually know my name is Ya-xuan."

Wenqing looked at her: "Wow, amazing! I only found out your name because I heard your family calling you last night."

Ya-xuan: "Oh! I see. By the way, I haven't told you what I do yet, have I?"

Wenqing: "Say what you want to say."

Ya-hsuan: "Please don't be so cold, okay?"

Wenqing stopped what she was doing and looked at her.

Ya-xuan: "Well, okay, do whatever makes you happy. Here's the thing, I'm a novelist."

When Ya-hsuan talked about her profession, she had a confident smile on her face.

Wenqing: "Sorry, I don't read novels." Upon hearing the reply, Yaxuan deflated like a punctured balloon: "Oh, whatever, it's like this, I used to write romance novels."

Wenqing: "Romance novels? It's people like you who tell a lot of meaningless stories. So many of my clients fantasize all day that love is very romantic, and then they go and get married, only to find that love is not like that at all."

Seeing Wenqing's lazy reply, Yaxuan still didn't give up: "Yes, that's why I want to write something different from before."

Wenqing: "What should I write?"

Ya-xuan smiled and said, "After seeing your performance yesterday, I want to write something related to the supernatural."

Wenqing: "Are you going to write about ghost stories from the military, or about paranormal events in Taiwan?"

Ya-hsuan: "Any of these are fine, they're very popular right now."

Wenqing: "Then you can just watch TV and don't need to ask me, because I don't have any ghost stories or supernatural things for you to refer to."

Ya-xuan: "But you saved my Xiao-zhen yesterday, isn't that incredible enough?" Wen-qing didn't reply. He took a broom and went to the temple. Ya-xuan looked around the temple, hoping to find some supernatural signs, but after searching for a long time, she found nothing. So she ran to the temple and followed Wen-qing: "Okay, handsome, give me some material."

Wenqing still didn't answer. At this moment, a man and a woman came from behind the temple. One was Wenqing's master, and the other was Wenqing's master's wife. When they saw that there was a woman with Wenqing, they looked at each other and then walked back to the back of the temple. Wenqing chased after them and said, "Good morning, Master and Master's wife."

The two looked at each other again, and the master said, "I think I haven't had enough sleep." The master's wife said, "I think so too."

Ya-xuan watched as the two of them politely greeted Wen-qing, saying, "Good morning, Master and Mistress."

Seeing this, the master pulled Wenqing aside and said, "Boy, Dian Dian eats three and a half bowls of rice, and you never even mention when you'll have a girlfriend."

Just then, Master's wife ran over: "I knew it! So mysterious!" Wenqing quickly clarified: "Master, she's not my girlfriend." Master looked at his wife: "Hehe, this kid's getting shy."

The teacher's wife patted Wenqing on the shoulder: "It's okay, you're not a child anymore, don't be embarrassed."

Wenqing said anxiously, "Master, it really isn't true."

The master looked at Ya-xuan, who had a smile on her face: "Not your girlfriend? Then why is she in front of the temple so early? Okay, okay, I know, I'll be in the back all day."

---hqszs

Reply [8]: The master's wife echoed, "You two should get along well." When the two were about to walk to the back, Wenqing called out to her master again, but her master just shook his head and said, "Alright! We understand each other as people of the martial world." The two ignored Wenqing's explanation and walked to the back.

At this moment, Ya-xuan walked over: "What were you two talking about just now?" Wen-qing looked at her: "It's all your fault that I was misunderstood." Ya-xuan: "Misunderstood what?"

Just then, the nun ran over and gave Ya-xuan a can of drink: "My Wen-qing is very outstanding, you have excellent taste." Then she quickly walked to the back of the temple. Ya-xuan, holding the drink in her hand, looked at Wen-qing with a blank expression: "I know what they misunderstood."

Wenqing glanced at her and said, "Whatever, I don't have the information you need, and I can't help you with anything, so please stop bothering me."

Feeling like she was being chased away, Ya-xuan said irritably, "As you said, this is a temple. I can come and go as I please. Who's bothering you?"

Wenqing: "Whatever." After replying, Wenqing continued sweeping his floor. Yaxuan felt a bit annoyed: "If you won't tell me, then I'll observe for myself."

Just then, the master ran out again: "By the way, what's your name?" Ya-xuan: "My name is Ya-xuan, is there something you need?" The master smiled sheepishly: "I just feel that as a master, not knowing my disciple's girlfriend's name makes me unsure how to get along with her."

Ya-xuan: "I..." Master still didn't give Ya-xuan a chance to explain, waving his hand and saying, "Alright, alright, I won't bother you anymore." Seeing that Wen-qing wasn't really paying attention to her and had caused Wen-qing unnecessary trouble, Ya-xuan walked over to Wen-qing and said, "I really didn't know things would turn out this way, but I really hope you can tell me what you know."

Looking at Ya-xuan's sincere face, Wen-qing smiled, a rare smile on his face: "There are many things that you won't understand just because I tell you. If you are really interested, I hope you can discover many things for yourself, okay?"

Ya-hsuan: "You mean I come here very often?"

Wenqing: "I don't think I ever objected to your coming."

Ya-xuan: "That's really great." Ya-xuan kept asking Wen-qing all day long. And the master, seeing the two of them like this, said to his wife: "So Wen-qing isn't indifferent to feelings after all."

The master's wife comforted him, saying, "Yes! Wenqing's spring has come. You don't have to worry about him not pursuing girls anymore." The two of them showed expressions of relief.

"Wenqing, be careful!" his master shouted. At that moment, dozens of flames approached Wenqing. Wenqing formed a hand seal and chanted an incantation, creating a light blue barrier around him. He quickly approached his master, the flames vanishing upon contact with the barrier. Wenqing drew his sword, but his master calmly met the attack. The two exchanged dozens of blows, their swords flashing. The master retreated, biting his finger and smearing his blood on the sword, making its light even more intense. The master threw the sword and chanted an incantation, the blade multiplying into a hundred. Wenqing showed no fear, raising his sword to deflect the multiplied sword energy. His master showed no sign of stopping, unleashing several more sword talismans. Wenqing leaped into the air to avoid the talismans, simultaneously unleashing several sword beams at his master.

Master: "Good lad, your skills are quite good, but this sword energy can't harm me." As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hands in front of him, creating a wall of light that blocked Wen Qing's chilling sword energy. Wen Qing landed without moving, and his master simply stared at him without launching any further attack. The two were locked in a silent battle, the atmosphere unusually quiet. Under the moonlight, every move could reveal a weakness and determine the outcome.

At this moment, a bead of sweat rolled down Wenqing's forehead. In the blink of an eye, her master's sword energy was already in front of her. Wenqing raised her sword to deflect the attack and quickly approached her master. Seeing Wenqing's rapid movement, her master dared not be careless and stood in a good stance, as if waiting for Wenqing, who was as fierce as a lion, to arrive. The two were not even inches apart when they heard a crisp sound of metal striking each other, and then everything returned to silence.

After a while, the master said, holding Wenqing's broken necklace, "Boy, attacking quickly is a big risk to you."

Wenqing coldly replied, "I know it's dangerous, but you said that if we're confident of winning, danger doesn't matter anymore." Wenqing turned around, holding in her hand her master's glasses, which had been broken in two.

Master: "Ha! I didn't lose this match, because if I hadn't stopped, it wouldn't have been your necklace that broke, but your neck. Of course, I didn't win either, because if you hadn't stopped, it would have been my head that was broken in two, not my glasses."

Wenqing: "I have offended you, my disciple."

Master: "Hmm! It seems that what you need to do now is no longer to learn things from me, but to do the most important training in the Junmen."

Wenqing: "The most important training?"

Master: "That's right! You must leave your spiritual journey behind. What will allow you to enter another level now is no longer the study of the Dharma, but real life."

Wenqing: "What should I do?"

Master: "Just bring a few clothes and simple luggage, then walk around Taiwan. Go and see the world. I think you will gain a lot of insights."

Wenqing: "Then how am I supposed to live?"

Master: "Of course, it's about telling fortunes, exorcising evil spirits, and earning a reasonable fee."

Wenqing: "Okay! I understand. When do I leave?"

Master: "I think it will be three days from now. You can prepare yourself."

After their master finished speaking, the two sheathed their swords and returned to the temple.

While the teacher was giving Wenqing her pre-departure instructions, Ya Xuan quietly came into the temple. Everyone stopped talking and glanced at her. Ya Xuan nodded apologetically and said, "Sorry to disturb you, please continue."

At this point, the teacher's wife led Ya-xuan outside the office, and the group continued their conversation.

Ya-hsuan asked her teacher's wife curiously, "What are they talking about? They seem so serious."

Master's wife: "They are talking about Wenqing's spiritual journey."

Ya-Xuan: "A journey of spiritual cultivation?"

---hqszs

Reply [10]: Master's wife: "Yes! Wenqing is going on a spiritual journey now, which is one of their courses."

Ya-hsuan: "How long will he be gone?"

Master's wife: "I don't know either. It took my husband almost a year to come back."

Ya-xuan: "Then I won't know when Wen-qing will be back."

Teacher's wife: "Are you afraid he'll find a new girlfriend outside?"

Ya-xuan: "Uh~~~~ I think you've misunderstood. I'm not Wen-qing's girlfriend."

Teacher's wife: "Not his girlfriend? Then what business is it of yours when he comes back?"

Ya-hsuan: "Because I wanted to use Wen-ching's story as material for a novel."
