Влюбиться в дьявола

Глава 2

Teacher's wife: "Novel genre? You're a novelist?"

Ya-hsuan: "I guess so, but I'm not very famous."

Teacher's wife: "I'm sorry, I don't read novels either."

Ya-hsuan: "Why don't you watch it?"

Master's wife: "I'm already captivated enough just looking at my husband, I don't have time to look at anything else."

Ya-hsuan: "Looking at your husband? Looks like you love your husband very much?"

Teacher's wife: "This has nothing to do with whether I love him or not. What I mean is, my husband's world has many things that I have never been exposed to before. It's very new and very interesting."

Ya-hsuan: "Your husband's world? What kind of world is that?"

Master's wife: "It's hard for me to explain to you clearly. There are many things you have to experience for yourself."

Ya-hsuan: "I find it hard to imagine what kind of world that is."

Teacher's wife: "Hmm! It's hard for me to explain to you either."

Ya-xuan thought for a moment and asked, "Can I go to cultivate with Wen-qing?"

Master's wife: "Going on a spiritual journey together? Do you think it's a hiking trip? Taking your little one for a walk and a snack with Yakult and then coming back? This is Miss's homework, not a playground."

Ya-hsuan: "I know, I just want to experience what the kind of world you're talking about is all about."

The teacher's wife looked troubled and said, "I can't answer that for you, because it's not something I can decide. You have to ask Wenqing what he thinks."

Ya-xuan: "Hmm! I'll ask him later."

The two chatted for a while, and the people in the office had already come out. Ya-xuan couldn't help but run to Wen-qing's side and say, "I have something to discuss with you."

When Master saw Ya-xuan looking anxious, he said to Wen-qing, "Boy, what did you do to her? Why is she in such a hurry to discuss this with you?"

Wenqing: "Master, there really wasn't anything between her and me."

Ya-hsuan: "Yeah, nothing happened between him and me."

Master: "Alright, alright, I guess I was just being nosy."

Wenqing: "What do you want to discuss with me?"

Ya-hsuan: "I want to travel with you."

Wenqing: "No way, I'm not going there for fun."

Ya-hsuan: "I know it's not for fun, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

Wenqing looked at Yaxuan with a troubled expression. Seeing Wenqing's expression, Yaxuan continued, "Okay, okay, I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself."

Wenqing: "I think it's better not to. After all, it's inconvenient for a man and a woman to be alone together."

Ya-hsuan: "Anyway, I've already told you. Whether you agree or not is your business. Anyway, I'm sticking with you."

The master, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "You still say it's okay? People are already sticking with you."

Wenqing: "Master..."

Master smiled and said to Ya-xuan, "We can't stop you from coming with us, but you have to go back and ask your parents for their consent. The important thing is that you have to support yourself."

Hearing her master's approval, Ya-xuan nodded happily: "I will, I will prepare everything."

Wenqing pulled her master aside: "Master, this is not appropriate."

Master: "I know it's not a good idea, but it might take a long time for her to argue with her parents after she goes back. You're leaving the day after tomorrow, and her parents might still not agree after you leave."

Wenqing: "What if her parents agree?"

Master: "If you agree, then prepare to enter the grave of love, hahahaha."

Wenqing: 『$@%&%@』.

Master: "Alright, things will work out in the end. If she can go with you, it'll be nice to have company on the way, right?"

Wenqing did not answer, but only looked unwilling.

As soon as Ya-hsuan returned home, she told her family that she was going on a trip. Ya-hsuan's father took the lead in opposing it, and the other family members followed suit. Ya-hsuan asked angrily, "Why can't I go on the trip with him?"

Ya-hsuan's father: "Aren't you afraid of what people will say if a girl like you runs around with a boy all the time?"

Ya-hsuan: "I'm not doing anything shameful with him, why would I be afraid of what people say?"

Ya-hsuan's mother: "Even if the women didn't do anything, it's hard to guarantee that nothing will go wrong when a man and a woman are alone together."

Ya-hsuan: "Is this all you think about all day?"

Ya-xuan's brother came over and slapped her: "You can't talk to Mom and Dad like that."

Ya-xuan covered her face and glared fiercely at her brother. Ya-xuan's mother came over first to check on Ya-xuan and asked with concern, "Does it hurt? Did you hurt your face?"

Ya-hsuan turned and ran to her room, then yelled at her family: "I'm definitely going."

Ya-hsuan's father angrily said, "I just won't let you go out."

For the next two days, Ya-xuan was indeed not allowed to leave her home freely.

Reply [11]: "Have you prepared everything?" Master looked at Wenqing who was about to leave.

Wenqing: "Hmm! I think I brought them all."

Master: "It seems that the only thing left to do is not bring your future wife."

Wenqing: "Master, please stop joking with me."

Master: Are you sure I'm joking?

The two of them suddenly fell silent. Wenqing thought for a moment and said, "Master, I really should set off."

Master: "Hmm! Go and tell the teacher."

Wenqing walked to the teacher's office and respectfully said to the teacher, "Teacher, I'm about to leave."

Teacher: "You've already told your master, haven't you?"

Wenqing: "I just finished talking to him."

At this moment, the teacher took out a piece of red jade from his pocket: "This is the amulet I always carry with me. I'll give it to you as a gift, hoping you will have a safe and peaceful journey."

After accepting the gift, Wenqing said to her teacher, "Thank you, teacher. I'm off now." The teacher nodded. After speaking with her teacher, Wenqing went to her master's side. Her master took out a book and handed it to Wenqing, saying, "These are my notes from my previous travels. Take them with you as a reference for your travels. There are some people, events, and things in them that I haven't yet investigated or verified. If you have time, take a look."

Wenqing nodded. Her master said, "It's time for you to set off. Once you're out the door, don't look back."

Wenqing nodded and set off.

At this moment, the master's wife asked the master, "Aren't you sad about it?" The master turned around, and the master's wife was startled: "Why are you crying?"

"Ya-Xuan is missing!" Ya-Xuan's mother exclaimed.

Ya-hsuan's father: "How could that be? Aren't all the doors downstairs closed?"

Ya-xuan's brother searched the house for her, but found nothing. He only saw a bed sheet swaying in the wind on Ya-xuan's windowsill.

"Hmm! What a huge temple!" Wenqing walked for a long time and finally arrived at a large temple. It was getting late, so Wenqing decided to stay at the temple for the night. After entering the temple and telling the temple keeper why he was there, the keeper led Wenqing to a side room at the back of the temple. After unloading his luggage, Wenqing went to the food stalls in front of the temple to find something to eat.

Just after ordering a bowl of noodles, I overheard the owner talking to a customer: "Sigh! Today is the fourth day, but there's been no progress at all in the spirit medium practice at the temple."

Guest: "Yes, although the spirit medium seems to have some spiritual abilities, he just can't seem to perform the spirit writing."

Boss: "I think it's going to be a long wait before the spirit medium can perform her duties."

Guest: "I really don't know if the monks in their temple are any good."

Wenqing asked the boss curiously, "Have they been practicing spirit writing for a long time?"

Boss: "It's been four days now, but I still can't bring myself to speak."

Wenqing: "What do you mean by saying he has supernatural abilities?"

Boss: "Every time he starts, his whole body shakes, but he just can't get into bed."

After hearing this, Wenqing quickly finished her noodles, paid the bill, and hurriedly returned to the temple.

After returning to the temple, Wenqing began to look around. He took out his compass and checked it. The Northern Camp was correct, the Eastern Camp was correct, the Western Camp was correct, and the Southern Camp was correct. So where did the problem lie?

Wenqing was pondering to himself when the temple's spirit medium training ceremony began again. Wenqing looked at the spirit medium himself; he looked quite tired from long-term training. Then the priest began the ritual. As the ceremony began, the spirit medium started to move. First, the soldiers trained the spirit medium, and he began to tremble. After a certain time, the head of the soldiers began to warm up the spirit medium, and he began to shake his head and sway his body more and more intensely. When it was time for the gods to descend, the spirit medium only remained at the head of the soldiers' warm-up stage. Wenqing seemed to suddenly realize something and ran to the temple to check.

"Oh no!" Wenqing shouted, "The inner five camps inside the temple have been retreated!"

Wenqing ran to the temple and told the temple keeper, "We can't continue like this, or someone will die."

The temple keeper looked at Wenqing and said, "Young man, don't interfere with the spirit mediumship. It's not easy to get such a response today."

Wenqing: "This reaction is wrong. If we don't stop, someone could really die."

Temple keeper: "Alright, stop arguing. If you keep arguing, we won't let you stay here today."

Just then, the spirit medium stood up, made a hand gesture, and began chanting incantations. The monk next to him seemed quite satisfied and smiled. The onlookers also believed that the spirit medium had finally been successfully trained.

Wenqing knew something was wrong as soon as she saw the spirit medium's finger movements and steps. She told the spirit medium, "Please stop, someone could really die."

The monk glared at Wenqing: "Young man, if you don't understand, don't speak. The spirit medium has already risen and started chanting the incantation. It's already done, why stop?"

The temple keeper angrily said to Wenqing, "Young man, I hope you will not meddle in temple affairs."

Just as Wenqing was about to speak again, someone tapped him on the shoulder. Wenqing turned around and said, "Yaxuan! What are you doing here?"

Reply [12]: Ya-xuan: "I finally found you. We agreed to set off together, but you ran away first. If I weren't smart, I really wouldn't have been able to find you."

Wenqing: "Now is not the time to argue about this."

Ya-xuan: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Wenqing: "Someone will definitely die after this ritual is completed."

Ya-xuan: "How so?"

Wenqing: "This ritual was initiated by the outer five camps capturing the spirit medium, and then the inner five camps took over. However, the inner five camps were withdrawn, and no one took over the spirit medium. In the end, the spirit medium's soul was taken away by the outer five camps."

Ya-hsuan: "Wait, wait, I still don't understand. What does 'inner five camps' mean? And what about 'outer five camps'?"

Wenqing: "The so-called Inner Five Camps are the five camps of soldiers inside the temple. The Inner Five Camps are the true soldiers of the gods."
