I pondered for a moment and carefully recalled the behavior of the smoky ghost face. I vaguely understood something.
After I had taken out the Celestial Master seal, its behavior had become strange. After staring at my face for a while, it suddenly returned to the black spot on Wang Li's chest.
It seemed that there were only two reasons why it was afraid of me. One was the Celestial Master seal, and the other was me.
There were only two differences between my Celestial Master seal and other people's. One was the black and white color of my dual witchcraft cultivation, and the other was the four words' Born Saint 'on it.
When I had attacked the smoky ghost face, I had used the two Qi of witchcraft. It didn't react at that time. From this point, it was obvious that it wasn't because of the two Qi of witchcraft. The only possibility was the words on the seal.
The words on the seal were also evidence of my identity. When Officer Wang had seen the four words on my seal, he had insisted on bowing to me like a servant. He had even said that it was the Wang family's rule.
So, in essence, the change in the smoky ghost face's attitude was because of me.
Until now, I still had doubts about my identity and my origin. I couldn't be sure.
At first, I was confused and distressed. However, as more and more strange things happened around me, I gradually became numb. I deliberately didn't think about it.
However, this time, even the disease that was tormenting Little Wang Li had been found to be related to my identity. This made my originally calm heart feel bitter.
The fat man saw that I didn't speak for a long time and thought that I was still worried about Wang Li's condition. He comforted me. "You don't need to worry too much. Look, that strange thing has retreated this time. Wang Li doesn't seem to have any big problems. Let's go back and discuss how to deal with that thing."
After being interrupted by him, I woke up from my thoughts. I smiled bitterly and temporarily suppressed this matter at the bottom of my heart.
No matter what, it was a good result.
I didn't think too much about it and lowered my head to check the black spot on Wang Li's body.
According to my previous experience, if the evil creature wanted to break out, the only way was through this black spot. The bigger the black spot, the stronger the power it could release.
Just now, the vortex had already condensed in the black spot, which was probably a sign that the evil being was about to completely jump out.
At this moment, the black spots on Wang Li's body looked even dimmer than the last time I saw them. Their size had almost shrunk to the size when he was born. The oppressive aura within them had diminished to the point where it was almost impossible to feel.
In this way, it would take at least a year or two for the black smoke ghost face to expand the black spot to a size that could allow him to crawl out.
Of course, with this experience, it might be faster next time, but at least for the time being, this evil creature would not cause trouble again.
Little Wang Li's matter could only be taken one step at a time.
I picked up the thin quilt next to me and covered Little Wang Li, who looked tired. I sighed and looked at Zhang Kanwen, who was sitting on the chair next to me.
Since young Wang Li was born, he had experienced many tribulations, but while he was suffering, Zhang Kanwen had also paid a huge price for it.
Especially this time, when all the obsidian stones on Zhang Kanwen's body had been shattered, and his cultivation base had fallen back to the acupuncture point realm.
Back then, I had insisted on protecting Little Wang Li. Thinking of this, I felt that I owed Zhang Kanwen too much.
Their Wenshan branch had had a lot of misfortunes. Back then, it was the same for Minister Wen, Old Mister Zhang Kanwen, Old Mister Zhao Dingwu, and Zhang Wenfei. Now, only Zhang Kanwen and Little Wang Li were left in the Wenshan branch.
While I was feeling guilty, Zhang Kanwen seemed to have recovered some of his strength. He struggled to stand up from the chair and staggered to the bedside. As he looked at Little Wang Li, he asked me in a weak voice, "How is Wang Li?"
Without waiting for me to reply, he saw Little Wang Li sleeping peacefully. His tired face instantly showed a gratified expression. He turned to me and said, "It's all thanks to you this time."
Looking at his weak appearance, I felt bad. If I had come back earlier, he wouldn't be like this.
I didn't mention Little Wang Li again. Instead, I sighed at Zhang Kanwen and said, "Big Brother Zhang, your cultivation base … I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time."
Zhang Kanwen's expression was very calm, as though he didn't care at all. The corners of his mouth even curled up slightly. "Cultivation base is a small matter. This time, I thought that day had come and I was already in despair.
Now, it's not a loss to exchange my cultivation base for Wang Li to hold on for a while longer. "
Although he said it in a relaxed manner, I could still feel a trace of disappointment from him.
Zhang Kanwen shouldered the heavy responsibility of reviving the Wenshan branch. If it wasn't for the fact that he had worked so hard for Little Wang Li over the past few years and was dragged down here, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to advance to Heavenly Master with his talent and the inheritance of the Wenshan branch.
But now, I had advanced to the Heavenly Master realm, and he was still lingering in the Glorious Consciousness realm. This time, all the obsidian stones had collapsed, and his cultivation base had fallen back to the acupoint sealing realm …
Although he could cultivate again if his cultivation base fell, there was a limit to a person's lifespan. No matter how experienced a genius was, he wouldn't be able to withstand such torment. Even if Zhang Kanwen could cultivate again at the fastest speed, his future achievements would be greatly affected. He might be able to advance to the Heavenly Master realm in this life, but he would have no hope of reaching the Yang God realm.
I was still sighing, but Zhang Kanwen had already skipped this topic. He asked me, "What method did you use to drive the evil spirit back?"
At that time, his body was exhausted and he slumped on the chair. I guessed he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, so he didn't see the specific situation of the battle between me and the black smoke ghost face.
I didn't hide anything and told Zhang Kanwen the details of how the black smoke ghost face had seen my seal and then stared at me for a while before turning around and running away.
Hearing that the evil spirit had been scared away by me, Zhang Kanwen couldn't help but open his eyes wide and ask me in disbelief, "How … How is that possible?
What's the reason? Does that evil spirit have anything to do with you? "
I shook my head with a wry smile. I didn't know how to answer his question.
In fact, I didn't have an answer, either.
I didn't know how to explain to him that I might be the reincarnation of the ancient Gao Xin family.
After a moment of silence, I could only vaguely say, "Maybe it's because of the words' Natural Born Saint 'on my Heavenly Master seal."
It was obvious that Zhang Kanwen didn't understand, but he accepted my answer and didn't ask more about it.
Then, Zhang Kanwen and I carefully checked Wang Li's body. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, we carried him downstairs.
At this moment, Wang Yongjun's family had been waiting anxiously. After I explained the situation to them, they finally heaved a sigh of relief and thanked us profusely.
Wang Kun and his wife were so scared that they shed tears. They bowed their heads and were about to kneel to thank us. I quickly helped them up and persuaded them to stop.
At this time, it was already late. Everyone had been nervous for the whole day.
I was still fine as I had eaten breakfast. Wang Yongkun's family and Zhang Kanwen's family hadn't eaten breakfast. They hadn't eaten a single grain of rice the whole day.
Now that the matter had been resolved, everyone relaxed a little. Wang Yongjun took Wang Kun and his wife to check on Wang Li's condition. After they came down, he called a high-class restaurant to order a meal and invited all of us there.
During the meal, I recalled the last time the people from Mount Longhu had come here to cause trouble. I hurried to ask them about the situation here and if the people from Mount Longhu had come again.
The last time I came back, I happened to meet the people from Mount Longhu. At that time, they had come for Wang Li. I didn't expect that they would meet Lu Zhenyang and lose their lives here.
Although Lu Zhenyang had killed Wang Li and sent his body back to Mount Longhu, it had happened in our shop. It was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be any trouble.
When I asked, Xie Chenghua told me that after the previous incident, some people from Mount Longhu had come to investigate the matter. However, they didn't ask much and just left in a hurry. Let alone looking for trouble, they didn't show up again after that.
Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande were still worried. They used their previous connections to inquire about it. They heard that something had happened on Mount Longhu recently. The mountain gate was closed, and many Taoist priests in the Celestial Master Realm had left the mansion. They were not sure where they had gone.
Later, they heard from the Metaphysics Society that two Taoist priests from Mount Longhu had been killed in Hebei. One of them was the Grand Supreme Elder of the Celestial Master Mansion, who hadn't appeared for many years. He was at the peak of the Yang God Realm.
As for the murderer, according to the Metaphysics Society, it was Lu Zhenyang.
After receiving this news, Liu Chuande and Xie Chenghua were relieved. They didn't bother to ask about it anymore.
After listening to them, I felt strange. It was rare for the Taoist priests of Mount Longhu to be reasonable this time. They didn't bother with the Fengshui Metaphysics Shop anymore. Instead, they went after Lu Zhenyang.
Of course, I was happy to see this. According to Mount Longhu's way of doing things, I was afraid that Lu Zhenyang wouldn't stop until he was dead.
With Lu Zhenyang's help, it would be difficult for Mount Longhu to focus all their attention on hunting me down in a short time.
On the other hand, Lu Zhenyang surprised me. He was really going to fight with Mount Longhu.
One had to know that Mount Longhu was a colossus. Although it was not part of the Blessed Enclave, it was not weaker than them. In fact, it could even be said that it was slightly stronger than most of the Blessed Enclaves. Anyone who wanted to make an enemy out of them would have to weigh their own strength first.
From this point of view, I admired Lu Zhenyang.
