Chapter 3 Alliances

"I'm just curious to come in and explore a risk, so let me go!"

"If you don't say it, I'll send you to the police station."

"I really don't know what to say!" I said with a bitter face.

"What department is that girl who ran away? What is it called? ”

"I don't really know any girls." Again, I said. "I'm just full, I can't sleep at night and have nothing to do, so I'm wandering around alone."

"Without our students leading the way, how do you know which building and which room?"

"It's all on the Internet."

This kind of conversation has been going back and forth for I don't know how many times, and I have been interrogated for nearly an hour before the security department released me.

"We have registered your name and ID number, and it won't be so easy to catch you next time!" The old man threatened me viciously. "And! Don't post any messy stuff online! ”

"No, absolutely not!" I said to him. "I really know it's wrong, don't worry!"

That being said, there's really nothing he can do with me.

I didn't steal anything, I didn't sabotage, and trespassing was probably a serious crime, but because I was just a young man who was curious about ghost stories and made some pranks, going to the police station was at most a criticism and education.

When I arrived, it was already past three o'clock, and as soon as I got it, it was dawn, and a few steps after I walked out of the school security office, Lu Xiaoling didn't know where to run out of nowhere, and slapped me from behind.

"Hey!"

"Miss......" I said to her in pain, as I was so sleepy that my eyes were about to close.

"You're Miss!" She said in annoyance, but immediately asked worriedly. "They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

I was yawning a lot, and I couldn't help but laugh at what she said. "How is that possible? It's not a TV series. It's just the school security office, and I used to go in several times a month. ”

"Bragging!" She obviously didn't believe me, so she dragged me out of school.

"Where?"

"Hospital!" She replied without looking back.

We took the bus to the hospital, because it was too early, and after breakfast I meditated in the garden for a while to refresh myself before entering the ward.

"Xiaoling, are you here?" A woman in her twenties said to her with a tired face.

"Teacher Song." Lu Xiaoling said hello to her. "Li Li, how are they?"

"Zhao Man and the three of them are nothing, they went back at dawn, and the doctor said that it should just be too frightened." Teacher Song said with a sad face. "But Li Li and Liu Xiao haven't woken up yet, and they don't know how to notify their parents, alas!"

"Can you let us in and see them?" Lu Xiaoling asked.

"You guys?" Teacher Song was surprised and said that she only saw me at this time. "Is this your boyfriend?"

"Not really!" Lu Xiaoling's face turned red all of a sudden. "He's my cousin......"

"Hello Teacher Song, I heard that something happened, so I'll take a look with her." I hurriedly played the round. "You've worked hard."

Teacher Song shook his head and opened the door to let us in.

The two girls slept separately in the hospital bed, and there was another female teacher in the room, but she was already asleep leaning against the chair.

Lu Xiaoling motioned for me to take a closer look at them to see if there was anything wrong with them, walked to the other side, touched their hands, and the circles under my eyes turned red all of a sudden.

I looked at them closely, and there was a black look on their brows, but it wasn't obvious.

The point is, I haven't done this before, and even if I see a problem like this, I don't know what it means.

Did he lose his soul as Lu Xiaoling guessed, or was he possessed by some evil thing?

We didn't have a long time to stay, and there was no possibility of doing it in the ward, so when I came out of the hospital, I told Lu Xiaoling about the situation, and then took out the phone and called Master Cao.

"Sun Yang? Why is it so early today? "I often ask him when I don't understand a book, so he doesn't find it abrupt.

"Master Cao, something happened." I briefly told Master Cao about the situation, but under Lu Xiaoling's strong request, I didn't say that this matter was related to her, let alone that she was involved in it.

"Black on your brow? Nothing on site? Master Cao pondered. Most of the time it is due to the improper backlash, this kind of thing is generally not too serious, sometimes the person concerned is in a coma for two days, and it is good to recuperate slowly. ”

"What if it's serious?" The phone was in hands-free state, and Lu Xiaoling was lip-syncing across from me for me to ask him.

"That's hard to say." Master Cao said. "If the three souls and seven souls are damaged, it will be a serious illness at the least, and the consciousness will be damaged at the worst, and if the soul cannot be recovered, it is not impossible to become a vegetative person. Of course, I'm talking about the worst-case scenario, which is unlikely unless they're unlucky enough to get a ghost. ”

Lu Xiaoling exclaimed and immediately covered her mouth.

"Who was that just now?" Master Cao asked.

"There's a girl passing by, and I'm standing downstairs in the girls' dormitory." I said hurriedly. "Master Cao, what should I do then?"

"I'm in Northeast China now......" Master Cao said. I'll give you a few phone calls, they are all warlocks near the distant mountains, you go to them, just say that they are Lao Lu's apprentices, ask them to come forward to use the soul search spell or the soul conjuring spell to get the soul back, and then use the requiem spell to return them to the body, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

Hanging up the phone, Master Cao quickly sent three numbers by text message.

But when I was about to call back, Lu Xiaoling held my hand.

"In what name are you going to find them?" She asked, glaring at me.

"Didn't Master Cao say it?"

"I know all of them." Lu Xiaoling said. "There's one that's not as good as me! You said that your apprentice Lu Lou can't do such a thing and ask them for help? ”

"Never!" She said with a vigorous shake of her head. "Lu Lou's apprentices and nieces can't do such a thing and have to ask others for help, it's too embarrassing."

"But...... "I also know that this is a bit inappropriate, according to the tradition of warlocks, it means to announce to people that Lu Lou's line is no longer complete.

"If they could, so could I!" She said loudly, and the people around her looked at us in amazement.

"Master Lu doesn't want you to step into this business." I said to her seriously.

"Then why did he teach me Taoism, and why did he make me proud of it?" Lu Xiaoling asked rhetorically. "If he really thinks there's anything wrong with learning the Tao, then why should he let you learn it?"

"He gave me a choice." I told her. "I volunteered."

"Then why didn't he give me a choice?" Lu Xiaoling asked. "Why would he take away my right to choose?"

I can't answer.

In the past three months, I have read a lot of codex left by Master Lu, and in those commentaries on the Taoist scriptures, I can also see his thoughts on Taoism and dealing with people.

Those who cultivate the Tao must have three disadvantages and five shortcomings, which is the price that must be paid for changing one's life against the heavens, going against the will of heaven, and revealing the heavens.

But among those who cultivate, there are also those who live a long life, have merit for generations, and have children and grandchildren.

Why to do it, how to do it, what is the process and what is the result, in Master Lu's opinion, this is the difference.

Conform to the way of heaven, promote good and punish evil, destroy demons, and benefit the people.

This is the Tao of Master Lu.

I don't believe that a person with this kind of thinking would think that monasticism is a bad thing and prevent his only loved one from touching it.

He must have had other reasons.

"No matter what you think, I'll choose my own path." Lu Xiaoling said. "Even my uncle can't interfere with me with his thoughts."

Could Master Lu not know Lu Xiaoling's temper? Could it be that he didn't know her reaction?

I thought to myself.

Did he really want to stop Lu Xiaoling from cultivating?

Or does he not want his own way to interfere with her, and wants her to go out of her own way?

I thought back to the contents of the will, but I didn't find such a clear content as "I don't want Lu Xiaoling to cultivate".

"I don't want you to help me, you just have to pretend that you don't know about it. Don't let Uncle Cao know, okay? Lu Xiaoling once again ignored the surprised eyes of the people around her and asked loudly.

Looking at her stubborn appearance, I couldn't say anything against it.

"Okay, but I have one condition." I said to her.

Lu Xiaoling looked at me in surprise, then nodded. "You say!"

"You can't leave me alone, I'm going to join too!"

What is my word?

I don't know yet.

Perhaps a large part of it will be the same as Master Lu, because those thoughts of his will inevitably affect me.

But as he once said to me, everyone's path is different, and that determines how far a monk can go.
