After hearing what I said, Sun Xiaoli wiped the tears from her face, smiled and said, "Brother Yang, you are such a good person. We will be roommates from now on. I will make breakfast for you now, so you can taste my cooking skills."
As she spoke, Sun Xiaoli deliberately winked at me, which was quite seductive.
Three black lines appeared on my forehead, and I thought to myself, I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to keep such a little goblin in the apartment.
Shaking my head, I stood up, put on my clothes, and walked towards the bathroom.
The breakfast was quite rich. Sun Xiaoli made a few pancakes with stuffing, a laver and tofu soup, and a side dish.
I ate so much that I was almost full.
When I went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, Sun Xiaoli drank lemonade and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, I have something else to ask you for help. I hope you can help me."
I stopped at the kitchen door and thought to myself, it turns out that there is more to it than meets the eye for Sun Xiaoli living here.
"What is it?"
I asked casually, my brows furrowed slightly.
Sun Xiaoli said, "Brother Yang, my grandpa seems to be missing and I can't contact him. You also said yesterday that when you moved into this apartment, it had been vacant for a long time. So, I want you to help me find my grandpa Jiang Jiuzhen."
Looking for Jiang Jiuzhen? This is really difficult.
It's not that I didn't look for Jiang Jiuzhen at the beginning, but I didn't find him. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find him now.
Seeing me standing there without saying anything, Sun Xiaoli thought that I didn't agree.
She pouted and cried out in a delicate voice, "Brother Yang, you have to help me. My grandpa is missing, and I can't just ignore him as his granddaughter. Look at me, I just graduated, I'm still a young girl, and I don't know many people in Jiangbin City. It's not easy for me to find my grandpa by myself."
"You are a Taoist priest who catches ghosts. You are well-informed and you must have a way to help me find my grandfather. I beg you, please help me. As long as you help me, I will cook a hundred meals for you in the future. I am willing to do that."
Look, here it comes again!
What I fear most is this kind of soft knife.
I thought about it and agreed: "Okay, your grandfather is half my master, I promise you."
Seeing that I agreed, I don’t know what Sun Xiaoli was thinking, but she actually ran towards me.
Before I could react, her cherry-like mouth kissed my cheek, "Well, Brother Yang, you are so nice. Thank you!"
This thank you was soft and tingling, and it made my face turn red all of a sudden.
Awkward, very embarrassing!
I quickly covered up and turned my head away, as if I was a guilty thief, and quickly took the dishes in my hand into the kitchen.
Behind him was the smiling voice of Sun Xiaoli.
After cleaning up the dishes, I returned to the living room.
Sitting on the sofa, I lit a cigarette for myself.
I asked Sun Xiaoli: "I can help you find your grandfather, but now there is no clue, which makes it difficult. Do you have any clues worth referring to?"
Sun Xiaoli said without hesitation: "I don't have any clues either. My grandfather and I haven't been in touch for a long time. Later, I called him, but the call was always unreachable. The phone was always turned off."
At this point, Sun Xiaoli thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right, we can go find my dad, Sun Yaowen. He rented the apartment to you, which means he knows my grandpa is not at home. In other words, he may know where my grandpa went."
I heard this and shook my head and said, "I'm afraid not. I went to see your father, Sun Yaowen, once before, but he didn't want to talk to me at all and said he didn't even know your grandfather.
If I tried to ask him further, he would just kick me out of the apartment. So, asking your dad probably won’t work.”
Sun Xiaoli didn't believe it and said, "Let's go ask him. Maybe my dad knows the clues about my grandpa... I haven't seen my dad for a long time. Although there are conflicts between him and me because of my grandpa, he is my dad after all. I still want to go see him."
Seeing that Sun Xiaoli insisted, I nodded and said, "Okay, that's settled. I'll go see your dad this afternoon. That should be fine, right?"
Sun Xiaoli said with a smile: "Okay, that's settled!"
I spent the morning staying in my bedroom, sensing the presence of the “spirit”.
At the same time, I also tried to incorporate the "spirit" into the talisman, and tried to draw a few talismans. Not to mention, the talisman was very easy to draw, and I tried it, and the attack effect of the talisman was quite good.
Let’s just talk about the fire talisman.
Previously, the flame of the Fire Talisman was yellow, but after incorporating the "spirit", the flame of the Fire Talisman turned into dark yellow, and the temperature of the released flame was high enough, and the burning range was more than doubled.
Not only on the talismans, I found that since the "spirit" entered my body, my muscles have become developed and it seems like I have endless energy.
It is said that ten chopsticks put together are not easy to break, but I did it.
It can be seen how powerful the "spirit" is in improving the body.
I have basically completed the chapter on accepting the spirit in the "True Words of Enlightenment", which is to open up the meridians, sense the existence of the "spirit", and at the same time, accept the "spirit" into the body.
When I was in Miaojiang before, all the meridians that should be opened were opened because of the Seven-Aperture Heart and Drunken Dream Flower.
The current Naling chapter is very familiar to me.
In my mind, there are still some Taoist methods left to me by the mysterious person in the huge black coffin in the red lacquer coffin. Those Taoist methods seem profound and unfathomable. I tried them and failed to practice them.
However, there are two simple Taoist methods, one is called the Wood Spirit Technique, and the other is called the Fire Spirit Technique. I can make use of the "spirit" to make them work.
The art of wood spirits, to put it simply, is to communicate with the "spirits" within plants and trees, so that they can function and help oneself.
The help mentioned here includes using the Wood Spirit Technique to check for clues, as well as using the Wood Spirit Technique to attack.
There is a pot of green ivy in my bedroom, with bright green branches and leaves, long and hanging on the windowsill.
I used the Na Ling Chapter to communicate with the "spirit" on the green ivy and stimulate the "spirit". I found that the green ivy grew wildly and rapidly.
And after I recited the Taoist magic mantra, the green ivy was able to wrap around my fingers, and it was so tough that I couldn't pull it apart.
It can be seen that the effect of "spirit" is very powerful.
There is also the Fire Spirit Technique, which requires communicating with the "spirits" in the air and making the "spirits" collide to form flames.
When I first started to activate the Fire Spirit Technique, I couldn't release the flame all at once. After trying hundreds of times, a tiny flame the size of a fingernail appeared.
But don't underestimate that little flame. I tried it. I put a piece of paper on the windowsill and used the Fire Spirit Technique. Flames immediately appeared on the paper.
And the flames spread quickly, and soon a piece of paper was burned into black ash.
I am quite satisfied with mastering the "Wood Spirit Technique" and the "Fire Spirit Technique".
At the same time, I highly appreciated the power of Taoism.
However, one thing worth noting is that whether it looks simple to activate the "Wood Spirit Technique" or the "Fire Spirit Technique", the "spirit" consumed is huge. I only released a small flame, and the "spirit" in my body was consumed.
one third.
This consumption is very scary. I thought to myself, it seems that I can't just use the "spirit" to catch ghosts in the future, I also need to cooperate with the Yin De Qi in my body.
After that, I tried to integrate the "spirit" into the energy of Yin De, and it went smoothly.
Moreover, with the existence of the "spirit", the speed of stimulating the energy of Yin De is even faster.
I also discovered that because of the existence of the "spirit", my eyes themselves actually possessed the ability of the third eye and were able to see through the appearance of things.
I released the troublemaker Duoduo from the soul collecting barrel. Duoduo's soul merged into the wall, and my eyes could see through the wall and detect Duoduo's existence.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that I can see ghosts anytime and anywhere. I can only do this if I focus the “spirit” on my eyes.
This ability saves me some unnecessary tedious processes and will be of great help to me in dealing with ghosts in the future.
Furthermore, my body movements, my magic weapons, and other things can all increase their power because of the addition of "spirit".
It's incredible!
This is the "spirit". If I can gather the "spirit" into aura in the future, it will be even more amazing.
I learned from Tubagen and Haimingdong before that in ancient times, there was spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and they could use the spiritual energy to practice directly and release their power.
Now that I am able to control the "spirit", it will not be difficult to gather the "spirit" into spiritual energy in the future.
But what surprised me was that after I passed the Naling chapter to Tubagen and Haimingdong, they still could not sense the "spirit".
This is a bit disappointing to me. If they can sense the "spirit", the power they exert will be extremely powerful.
Even so, I am already very satisfied.
I did a lot of things in this morning and my body was all wet with sweat.
After taking a shower and eating lunch made by Sun Xiaoli, the two of us left the apartment.
I have been to Sun Yaowen's home before, but I don't have much impression of it anymore. However, Sun Xiaoli knows where Sun Yaowen lives.
Sun Yaowen's home is in the Old South City Apartment.
The Nancheng Apartment is old and has a high floor. It was bought when Sun Yaowen and his wife got married. After so many years, the apartment building looks very old, and many of the colors on it have been stained by rain and are a bit blurred and gray.
We took a taxi there, and when we arrived at the apartment building, Sun Xiaoli was obviously a little nervous.
I asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Sun Xiaoli bit her lip and said, "There is a conflict between my father and me. I don't know if he will lose his temper when he sees me this time. I am also worried about him. He likes to drink and play cards. After so many years, I don't know how his health is."
It's understandable that a daughter is worried about her father. After all, blood is thicker than water.
I comforted Sun Xiaoli and said, "Don't think too much. Maybe your father also wants to see you. Who knows, he may have changed."
Sun Xiaoli nodded and said softly, "Maybe. But I don't think it's likely. My mother's death was a huge blow to him. And my grandfather has become a knot in his heart. If he doesn't get rid of this knot, he probably won't change."
There was not enough sunlight in the sky, so it looked foggy, and the light in the corridor was also a little dim.
The elevator was broken so we had to take the stairs.
Sun Yaowen lives in Room 1102 on the 11th floor.
We knocked on the door for a long time before we heard some noise from inside the house.
The man shouted angrily, "Who is it? Why are you knocking? Don't you know I'm sleeping?"
With a creak, the apartment door opened.
