The next morning, Zhang Ke breathed out his Qi and practiced movement and stillness skills in Zhuangzi.
The handyman came in with two people.
Zhang Ke recognized him at a glance as the man he saw in the rain yesterday.
At this time, he was wearing a police officer's uniform, with a girl following behind him.
The handyman reported the situation to Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke waved his hand and asked the servants to leave, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Capt. Cao?"
Cao Tiegang said: "Thank you so much for the Taoist priest's help yesterday, and I'm here to say thank you today!"
Zhang Ke smiled and said: "Please sit down!"
He poured tea for the two of them and said, "There's no need to mention the past again. You're welcome, Mr. Cao. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you can help, it's not a problem!"
Cao Tiegang has a good reputation in the local area. Zhang Ke saw what happened yesterday and had a good impression of him.
Cao Tiegang thanked her and said, "This is my little girl Dachun. She knows she comes from a famous family, so she came here to ask for advice!"
This name is not weaker than his own, Zhang Ke has some sympathy.
Cao Dachun's face turned red and he was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Miss Dachun, you don't have to be like this. The poor man's nickname is self-denial, but speaking of it, this nickname is not as good as the girl's!"
Cao Dachun pursed his lips and smiled, feeling much closer to him.
Cao Tiegang was a little embarrassed and said: "I have never studied and I don't know how to name her. I have wronged my girl!"
Zhang Ke smiled and shook his head.
Cao Tiegang said: "My daughter is a little weird. When she was a child, she always said she could see dead people and was always scared to tears. Later, a Taoist priest saw it and said that her Yin and Yang eyes were opened. After using a method, this
It took a few years for her to get better, but a while ago, she kept saying that someone was crying in a mass grave outside the town! She was so scared that she couldn't sleep, so I wanted to ask the Taoist priest to help see if there was anything I could do."
Zhang Ke said "Oh", becoming interested, and asked Cao Dachun to open his eyes.
After looking carefully, he sighed: "What a pity!"
Seeing that the father and daughter were a little confused, they didn't know why.
Explained: "Miss Dachun is born with yin and yang eyes, and she is a good candidate for spiritual practice. It is a pity that she has been delayed for so many years, otherwise her achievements would be limitless!"
Cao Tiegang was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Can you ask the Taoist priest for help? Dachun is willing to practice!"
Cao Dachun also looked forward to it.
Zhang Kedao: "Did that Taoist priest ever ask him if he was willing to practice and think about the answer?"
Cao Tiegang recalled carefully, shook his head and said: "No, I just said that if the eye problem is not solved, I may not be able to grow up smoothly, and may be haunted by ghosts!"
Zhang Ke said: "Although this Taoist helped you temporarily close your yin and yang eyes, he may not have good intentions!"
Cao Tiegang and Cao Dachun were startled and looked at Zhang Ke with some suspicion.
Because Cao Tiegang remembered very clearly that in order to help Cao Dachun close his Dharma Eyes, the Taoist himself provided a lot of precious things.
Zhang Ke explained: "Here."
He pointed to his feet and said: "This place belongs to Qingtian City, and is the territory of my sect, the Xiantian Yiqi Sect. Strictly speaking, any person who has the talent for cultivation must be selected by our sect first. Only our sect
Only after the selection is completed, other sects can come here to accept disciples. This is the rule, do you understand?"
Cao Tiegang was a little confused, Cao Dachun said: "I understand, that's how it is!"
Zhang Ke felt even more pity when he looked at the smart Cao Dachun.
Continue to explain to Cao Tiegang: "Miss Dachun is extremely intelligent, and the yin and yang eyes are an incredible magical power. If it had been discovered back then, the sect would have accepted it as the true inheritance. If so, the achievements now should be above mine!"
After a pause, he continued: "Those who have the ability to close the Yin and Yang Eyes cannot be done by casual cultivators. Only the disciples of the great sect have this knowledge, so I guess it is the disciples of other sects who are passing by and don't want Dachun to do this.
I'm waiting for qualified people to join my sect, so I used my means to cut off Dachun's cultivation path!"
Cao Tiegang's face turned pale, and Cao Dachun said softly: "Taoist Master, can I still practice now?"
Zhang Ke pondered: "How old is Dachun this year?"
"16 years old!"
Zhang Ke thought for a while: "I want to touch Dachun's bones to check his physical condition. I don't know."
Cao Tiegang was hesitant. Although he also hated the Taoist priest for being vicious, he was about to refuse because of his daughter's reputation.
Cao Dachun had already said categorically: "Please investigate carefully, Chief Taoist!"
Cao Tiegang retracted his words. His daughter always had ideas. Once she made up her mind, she had no choice.
The three of them entered the room, and Zhang Ke first lit the calming incense.
After Cao Dachun stabilized his mind, the nodes on the palms of his hands loomed, and his magic power flowed, and he carefully felt Cao Dachun's bones.
I found that although I was a little older, my bones had not yet been finalized, and the meridians in my body were unobstructed and not completely blocked.
He had never learned any techniques, and he still had time to practice them, but why was it such a coincidence that he was a little hesitant.
Cao Tiegang and the other two looked at Zhang Ke nervously.
Zhang Ke closed his eyes and thought for a moment and said, "Do you know why sect disciples have to be trained from an early age?"
He asked about Cao Dachun.
Cao Dachun hesitated and said, "Reliable?"
Zhang Ke nodded and said: "Exactly, so for the sake of loyalty, sect disciples are usually trained from a young age. For example, my Zhang family has spent more than a hundred years serving the sect and gaining its trust.
, and then you have the opportunity to send your children to the sect when they are young. Do you understand the difficulties involved?"
Cao Dachun nodded silently. She was older now, her ideas were set, and she had also been manipulated by other unknown sects. She was not from a family affiliated with the sect, so you can imagine the difficulties involved.
He stood up and said, "I'm disturbing the Taoist priest!"
Zhang Ke waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"I am a true disciple of the sect. With my guarantee, you can enter the sect, but"
Zhang Ke's eyes became sharp and he continued: "I will activate the sect's true inheritance warrant to investigate your life experience.
I can tell you very clearly that when my warrant is activated, you can't imagine how much power can be mobilized.
Once you fail to pass the investigation, you two will definitely die, so if you regret it, it's still too late!"
Cao Tiegang hesitated and said, "Otherwise, forget it!"
Cao Dachun sighed: "Dad! There is no room for regret now!"
Zhang Ke raised his thumb and smiled at Cao Dachun.
Next, Zhang Ke recommended his true biography for use.
This authority actually caused Zhang Ke a lot of trouble.
Over the years, people have come up with this idea from time to time, but Zhang Ke persisted despite the pressure.
He was not prepared to talk to Cao Dachun about this.
Firstly, I don't want to increase his pressure, and secondly, I want to use it early so that no one will think about it.
A few days later, the sect launched an investigation into Cao Dachun. After repeated verification, it was confirmed that it was not a spy planted by other sects.
Recommended by Zhang Ke, Cao Dachun entered the Xiantian Yiqi Sect to practice.
There are a lot of things she needs to learn, and her basic shortcomings are extremely poor.
Zhang Ke gave Cao Dachun the notes he had studied at the Taoist Academy, encouraged her, and then sent her away.
Zhang Ke discussed with his parents and prepared to leave home and travel.
Although his parents were a little reluctant to leave, they still warned him and reluctantly sent him away.
Walking on the long street, Zhang Ke felt a little attached to home, his thoughts were ups and downs, and he was not in a good mood.
In front of him, Cao Tiegang was patrolling on the street, with a look of vicissitudes of life on his face, showing that he had suffered a lot.
The two found a tea stall and sat down.
Zhang Kedao: "I am going to visit the mass graves, and I may not come back for a short time. If you have anything to say to Dachun, remember to ask my family to forward it to me!"
Cao Tiegang thanked him, took out a few books and said: "My Cao family has been a policeman for generations, this is passed down from my ancestors.
It contains various anecdotes and cases that I have experienced and heard about.
I can't read either. Taoist priest, you have been so helpful, so I don't have any other words to thank you for.
This book is given to you as a souvenir!"
Zhang Ke took it curiously. It was a handwritten and bound book.
After a rough look, the age span spans more than 200 years.
Judging from the handwriting, it seems that it has been through the hands of dozens of people, so it is extremely precious.
There are countless cases described in it, as well as some superficial martial arts and some methods of detecting traces and artifacts, and surveying the scene.
Zhang Ke was a little interested. Then he looked at the cover and it said: Cao An's Essay!
Mass grave.
The sun is shining brightly in the sky.
There is a cold wind here, the kind of coldness that can freeze the soul.
Zhang Ke frowned and checked the terrain. After learning formations, he also knew a lot about Feng Shui and the like.
I found that some experts have arranged this place so that it does not have any auras of yin, evil, evil, evil, etc. It is the most ordinary peaceful place.
It is more suitable for burying corpses and will not easily cause evil spirits.
A "circle light talisman" flew out and I looked around, but I didn't find any special inspiration staying here.
Somewhat curious, after thinking for a moment, I shot out 36 talismans and arranged the "Mist Array" without activating the array.
Just in case, they set up a "Tianmen execution platform", found an open space, and waited for dark.
At night, the shrill chirping of birds echoed in the mass graves, adding a bit of terror to the gloomy environment.
Zhang Ke sat boredly on a stone slab. On a tree not far from him, a paper cicada lurked on the tree.
This is something he modified based on the "Cicada Talisman". He hasn't used it yet, so he made it specially to see the effect.
Behind him is Sophie, the recruitment mage covered in black gauze. At this moment, she is looking left and right with a "golden light shield".
Suddenly, the paper cicada suddenly emitted white light and turned its head to face a mound of soil.
Zhang Ke nodded with satisfaction, being able to detect the anomaly before him proved its value.
A "Manifestation Talisman" flew out and exploded in mid-air.
A figure of a woman in white with disheveled hair appeared from behind the mound, crying "Ying Ying Ying".
When Zhang Ke came closer, he realized that it was not a real figure, but a phantom. Maybe it was an obsession in his heart that made it appear.
Don't bother, just watch quietly, the shadows are vague and uncertain.
Even if Zhang Ke doesn't come, it will probably dissipate in a few days.
Sighing, he took out a "recall talisman", which was the result of his retreat.
This talisman is extremely difficult to refine. Without a certain understanding of time, it is difficult to successfully refine it.
Even so, Zhang Ke refined hundreds of "retrospective talismans" and only succeeded in 2 of them.
I'm afraid it's too long and I can't trace it back to that time.
The magical power "Mantra" was activated and he shouted: "Look back!"
With a flick of his fingertips, Zhang Ke activated the "Backtracking Talisman".
The talisman paper exploded into yellow-red smoke and spread, and images gradually appeared.
The fingertips were always pulling the timeline of the "Recall Talisman", and the image kept receding, as if time was going backwards.
After a few seconds, his eyes fixed, a little light gold exploded on his fingertips, the time froze, and he began to look back at the scene at that time.
Zhang Ke watched speechlessly. There was no conspiracy or plot, nor was there anything tragic and tragic.
It was just a simple matter of serious illness, death, and burial, but I don’t know why I became obsessed with it.
Zhang Ke regretted his "retrospection talisman", put away the formation talisman, and was about to leave.
Suddenly I heard someone praising: "Little Taoist priest! What a great trick!"
Startled, I turned around and saw a middle-aged bearded man in a black cloak not far away looking at me.
He carries a sheathed sword on his back and holds a paper cicada in his left hand.
And the paper cicada is constantly flashing white light.
