Kapitel 25

Ah Ying left reluctantly, and I was very happy. With this trouble gone, I really wanted to set off firecrackers, even though I would still miss her.

The big trouble is gone, but the small troubles are still clinging to me and won't go away.

Reply [47]: Epilogue of Chapter Twenty-Two

The next day was Monday, and the day was no different from any other, except that some students looked at me differently, as if they were staring at me with admiration.

As soon as the first class ended, a group of male and female students surrounded me and asked out of the blue, "Teacher, Zhu'er and Xiaohui said that you can exorcise spirits and that you are a deity. Is that true?"

I stood there for a few seconds, cursing a hundred times in my mind, and then asked them gently, "What exorcism? There are no ghosts or spirits in the world. This world is made of matter. As promising young people of the 21st century, you should study materialism, believe in science, and resolutely resist any superstitious thoughts and behaviors."

Just then, Xiao Yu, the new female music teacher who had just been assigned to teach, came in. Her beautiful eyes flew over me, and she said with a smile, "Teacher Luo, I heard you can read palms, is that true? Could you take a look at my palm?"

I immediately perked up. This little girl was quite a beauty. She nodded repeatedly, her face glowing, and said loudly, "Of course! I'm the school's fortune teller, Luo the fortune teller. Palmistry, face reading, feng shui, and divination are all beyond my grasp..."

Ignoring the students' stunned expressions, I went up to them and walked side by side with Xiao Yu to the office.

Actually, I was just using ambiguous statements to brush off those boys and girls while I was secretly plotting how to shut up Zhu'er and the others.

During the afternoon self-study period, I called Zhu'er, Xiaoling, Xiaohui, and Jing'er to come to my office for a moment so we could settle things privately.

At this time, the other teachers in the office were all teaching classes, so it was a good time to have a private chat.

Seeing the aggrieved looks on Zhu'er and Xiaohui's faces, I forced a smile, a smile that didn't reach my eyes, and asked with boiling anger in my heart, "What are you trying to do? I've been so good to you, you...you've really let me down!"

"Yes. Hey, teacher, why is your voice trembling?" the female students asked with concern.

Nonsense, I'm shaking with anger.

"Do you think I can perform an exorcism in public? In this kind of environment, I have to keep a low profile and bide my time."

"Teacher, I'm telling the truth. You want people to know, fine, but you have to meet our conditions: I told you a long time ago that you had to be the teacher's manager, but you didn't listen and secretly did things on your own. Do you know how much we've lost?"

"Most importantly, it seems you're trying to exclude us from your circle, completely forgetting the bond we formed through thick and thin together," Xiaoling said indignantly.

"Teacher, this is just a small punishment to deter others," Xiao Hui said with a stern face.

"Teacher, don't be angry. We're doing this for your own good. You've always been careless. With us, your clever and quick-witted helpers, catching any ghost will be a piece of cake!" Jing'er said confidently.

"Life is precious, love is even more so, but for the sake of catching ghosts, both can be sacrificed. We will always stand on your battlefield, as loyal observers—oh no, as loyal comrades-in-arms, hee hee—"

Oh my god! #￥…*—… #~

Every weekend after that, Xiaoling and the others really became my managers. Through the scout ghost Miss Lin Caixia, they obtained information about many evil spirits in the county and then urged me to help them pass on to the afterlife one by one.

This is a good deed, so even though I'm lazy, I have to go. These students sometimes spout off a whole bunch of grand principles, which is incredibly annoying.

Actually, I really dislike these evil spirits. I sympathize with them, but facing them is like facing a mental patient. Sometimes, even my emotions are affected. Fortunately, these students are fearless. Their love and enthusiasm make me feel like I'm seeing sunshine in a dark world and feeling warmth.

They always liked to gather at my house, first doing all the homework according to my requirements, and then taking the secret manual that Xiaoyue gave me and made me throw under the bed to study.

Unexpectedly, these students' enthusiasm for witchcraft made them obedient to my academic requirements, and their grades improved in all aspects. Even Xiaohui's compositions sometimes became model essays. In one unit test, their scores improved significantly, which made other teachers consult me.

Pearl learned the fastest about psychic cultivation and the application of witchcraft. She had already mastered the basic techniques of talismans, namely how to infuse her innate true energy into the talisman's core and use incantations to activate its power. However, due to insufficient psychic energy, she could only use the most basic defensive talismans for exorcism and protection, which were enough to protect herself against ordinary evil spirits. With all these inexplicable things happening to me, I often couldn't even get enough sleep. But strangely, ever since I had been filled with fifty years of powerful psychic energy, I was always energetic and rarely felt sleepy. No matter how much I did, I was full of energy again the next day.

Reply [48]: I finally understood that the witchcraft of Linshui actually integrates the witchcraft of Taoism with the yoga and Pu'an of Buddhism, with martial arts as an auxiliary and spiritual energy as the main purpose, in order to communicate with ghosts and gods, so that the physical body can transcend the real space and time and reach the eternal fairyland.

One evening, Xiaoyue suddenly called me to tell me that she was going on a long trip.

"Kenshin, in Tibet, someone discovered my father's whereabouts. The clan's senior shaman, my only grandmaster uncle, also suddenly emerged from seclusion and told me: December 10th is an auspicious day for travel, especially in the northwest, when family members will reunite."

I remembered that Xiaoyue's father, Xiaojianguang, was depressed because his wife died in childbirth when she gave birth to Xiaofeng. He left them when Xiaoyue was just old enough to understand things and wandered the world alone. He disappeared without a trace. Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he finally reappeared. In all these years, has he never thought about his two children?

No matter what, I'm happy for Xiaofeng. I said, "I really want to go with you to look for it, but it's midterm exam time and I can't get away."

"Over the years, I've gotten used to being alone and know how to take care of myself. Actually, I didn't have high hopes this time. I've been searching every year and have traveled all over the country, but since my grandmaster uncle said so, there must be a reason."

"Perhaps Heaven has taken pity on you and your daughter and allowed you to be reunited this time. I really hope to meet my father soon so that he can rest assured."

"What are you worried about?" Xiaoyue asked curiously.

"With such a wealthy and eligible bachelor, his daughter's lifelong happiness is secured. How could he not feel at ease?" I said with a smile.

Xiaoyue spat and softly scolded, "Shameless, you're just trying to make yourself look good."

I could feel her shy yet sweet expression, and my heart fluttered. I really wanted to travel the world with her, and then, during the journey, do some things that men find interesting... hehehe...

"Kenshin, what are you eating? You're swallowing your saliva so loudly."

"No. Is there anything you need me to do after you leave?"

"Well, Ah Feng wants to transfer to your school and live with you, but I didn't agree. But now that I think about it, after I leave, there will be no one to take care of him, and he's so playful, I'm really worried something might happen. Oh well, we get along well, so you can take care of him for a while!"

"No problem!" I said readily, remembering Ah Feng's cleverness and cuteness. "I'll arrange for him to transfer schools, so you can rest assured!"

"How can I be at ease? There's an older child and a younger one, I don't know who will take care of whom!" she said coquettishly. "If Fang Long weren't always clinging to him, and I wasn't worried about him corrupting A Feng, I wouldn't let him go to your place!"

I could only manage a wry smile.

I talked to Xiaoyue about my troubles. It seemed that fate was forcing me step by step toward the position and responsibilities of a wizard, but I had absolutely no interest in it.

"Xiaoyue, was my past life really Yuan Yingzi? Who exactly was Yuan Yingzi? Where is there a record of his life? I want to see it and understand the cause and effect."

“I’m not entirely sure if you are Senior Yuan Yingzi. Only after reading the Three Lives Book of the Sanlu Sect can I know for sure. But even the Three Lives Book isn’t always accurate. My father disappeared for ten years, and the Three Lives Book doesn’t record his whereabouts. Yuan Yingzi was originally a scholar from Wuyi Mountain. His family had been officials for generations and was very wealthy. Because his mother was a believer in both Buddhism and Taoism, he studied Buddhism and Taoism from a young age. Later, after failing the imperial examinations, he followed a strange person to learn martial arts at Jade Maiden Peak in Wuyi Mountain.”

"It was during the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty. For some unknown reason, the gates of evil opened wide, and the court and the countryside were in an era of rampant demonic activity. Officials were corrupt, and bandits roamed freely. Yuan Yingzi's hometown was once destroyed by mountain bandits. Yuan Yingzi was a step too late to escape. Although he raped all the bandits, his personality changed drastically from then on. He became fiercely opposed to evil. He roamed the world, eliminating demons and protecting the righteous, sealing countless demons. He was known as the Demon-Sealing Heavenly Lord by his contemporaries. However, the Ming Dynasty's fate was sealed, so he was reincarnated as a mortal. He originally intended to assist Li Zicheng in changing the dynasty, but Li Zicheng was too barbaric and narrow-minded, intolerant of others, and Yuan Yingzi was almost killed by him."

After the Ming Dynasty, he disappeared without a trace. The predecessors of the Linshui, Sanlu, and Yin-Yang schools in our province all had significant connections with him.
