Chapter 351: Evil spirits
Charlotte saw that Fett's tone was firm and left no room for anything, and she knew that she had made up her mind, so she could only acquiesce.
"In the past few days, the teacher may go out frequently, and he can't teach you those formation methods according to the original plan, but the teacher copied the three mental methods from the 'Elemental Secret Codex' last night, with your wisdom enough to comprehend alone, and you don't need to be personally instructed by the teacher, you can cultivate these mental methods well during this period of time, and strive to quickly improve your cultivation, so that you can also make your resistance to evil spirits stronger and avoid invasion. β
"The disciple must devote himself to cultivation and live up to the master's expectations. Charlotte said seriously.
"Alright, you can start cultivating the mental method. Master will go out and take a look now, this evil aura must not be underestimated. β
With that, Fett turned away, but she had only taken a few steps before she turned around, as if she had suddenly remembered something of great importance.
I saw that she immediately opened her mouth and instructed Charlotte: "Xiao Xia, Master must give you a word." Don't tell anyone, not even your parents, about the invasion of your village. β
"Why? Wouldn't it be better to tell them earlier?" asked Charlotte, puzzled.
"As a teacher, you know that you must have such thoughts. The evil spirit is invisible and invisible, mortals can't see or touch it at all, even if they are vigilant, if they are unlucky, they will also be invaded by the evil energy.
So there's no point in reminding them. Moreover, they have no knowledge of such strange powers, and rashly telling them that it will only cause a riot, and then the people will panic, and the village will lose its former peace.
This is not serious, and the worst case scenario is that they are likely to be suspicious of our master and apprentice, and they are likely to think that we are thieves and cry out to catch thieves, and eliminate their own suspicions, and then the two of us will have no good life to live, and endless troubles will come to us. β
"Master is right, they don't suspect me, who is also a resident of the village, but what about Master? Once they think that this evil spirit is released by Master, then it's a big deal.
It is likely that the Master will be threatened with all kinds of threats and even get into physical confrontations with the villagers. I'm still too naΓ―ve, if Master hadn't reminded me, I might have made an irreparable mistake, and I must be cautious when I speak in the future. β
Charlotte was so clever that she instantly understood what Fett was saying. Thinking about it quietly, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, secretly thinking that I almost killed my master.
At this moment, she realized a truth, that is, as a monk, you should be more cautious in your words and deeds. After all, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and the understanding of this vast world by people in the world is too one-sided, and if you talk about those mysterious phenomena or truths with them at will, it will inevitably give rise to some ridiculous misunderstandings.
Some things are too complicated to explain, let alone refute.
"Master, disciple understands, please rest assured, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and will not leak even a word. Charlotte said.
"Master believes you, I went out first, don't be too diligent, everything has a degree, if you consume too much mental power, it will definitely hurt your body. As a teacher, you know your character, but the best way to practice is to combine work and rest, and it is never a waste of time to relax your mind in moderation, you must remember this sentence. β
"Disciple remember, as long as I feel tired, I will definitely rest, and I will not force myself. β
"That's good, your cultivation speed is already very amazing, much faster than when you were a teacher, and you can already be proud of this speed. Cultivation is about gradual progress, you can try to slow down the progress of cultivation a little, compare it with the current cultivation method, and see which one is more suitable for you. β
Fit's bitter nagging is all in order for her disciples to find a cultivation method that suits her, and will not cause an unstable foundation because of quick success. How could Charlotte not understand this kind of care, Fett's kindness to her, she always kept it in the deepest part of her heart, and she will never forget it for the rest of her life.
"Considerate and caring, how many masters in this world will treat their disciples like this? Master's kindness, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in my life, but I still have to try my best to repay her. Tell her that I have never forgotten this great kindness, and make her feel that her efforts have never been wasted..."
Charlotte's heart was full of gratitude to Fett at the moment, lingering and indescribable.
When this affection came to his lips, there was only one sentence left.
"Thank you, Master. β
Fett was slightly stunned at this time and asked, "Why do you want to thank me?"
Charlotte didn't answer, just a shallow smile.
Fett seemed to read the hidden meaning of Charlotte's heart from Charlotte's smile, so she didn't continue to ask, just nodded slightly, and then turned away to investigate clues about the evil spirit.
Charlotte began to study the methods that Fett had left her.
Five hours passed like this, and in a blink of an eye it was already time for dinner, and Charlotte usually went home at this time.
Charlotte couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw that Fett hadn't come back by this time. She wants to go out to find Fit's traces, but she is afraid that Fitt will come back during that time and the two sides will miss each other.
Charlotte didn't know if she should stay here at this point, and both options seemed to have drawbacks. If she had stayed and waited for Master to return, perhaps she would have been greeted by a long wait, and her parents would have been worried when they saw that she had not returned for a long time.
But if she chooses to leave directly, she will not be able to let go of her mind because of her concern for Master, and besides, she is eager to get some clues related to evil qi from Fett, and hear if Fett has made any crucial discoveries on this day.
Just as Charlotte's mind wavered, she heard the door open, and then saw her expectant figure appear in front of her.
When Charlotte is in a dilemma, Fett finally returns home and solves her troubles.
"As a teacher, I know that you must still be waiting for me. β
"Master, tell me what you found today, does that evil spirit affect the villagers?"
Looking at Charlotte's impatient look, Fett smiled: "Are you already hungry and want to go home for dinner sooner, otherwise how can you be so breathless?"
"Master is making fun of the disciples again, I am just concerned about the situation of the villagers. β
In a calm tone, Fett said, "Master didn't find any useful clues today, and there is no evidence to prove that any villager has been affected by that evil spirit. β
"So no villager has been hurt by the evil spirit, right?" Charlotte confirmed.
Fett bowed his head and said, "That's true,
However, if you want to get accurate results, you will need to continue the investigation for a few more days. β
"I see. Maybe this evil spirit is just passing through here, and it may not stop in the village, Master, do you think my guess is reasonable?"
Fett nodded and said in a low voice, "I hope everything is as you say, you should go home now, and your parents will worry about you later." β
The disciple took his leave. β
With that, Charlotte set out on her way home.
After Charlotte completely disappeared from Fit's vision, Fit's gaze suddenly became confused, as if full of doubts about the future.
Fett knew that the village was doomed, and that disaster could happen at any time, but only sooner or later. The power contained in that yin qi may lie dormant for a few days, or it may burst out in the next moment. It all depends on how powerful the Yin Qi really is, and even if Fett has "fought" with the Yin Qi head-on, it is also difficult to predict.
What can be seen after the prophecy is cast is vague and general, and it is impossible to see any details, otherwise it is against the rules of heaven. Although Fett is already highly skilled in prophecy, he cannot accurately predict the moment when the catastrophe will begin.
Fett let out a long sigh at this time and said to himself, "I still can't tell Xiao Xia the truth after all, this kind of bad news will undoubtedly be devastating to her." The village was no longer immune to this fate, and although the yin qi could not have any effect on the monks, it was like a deadly poison to mortals.
Although my body is extremely weak now, it is still difficult for the yin qi to invade my meridians, but a mortal with a very strong body cannot resist the erosion of the yin qi at all. When the yin qi penetrates into the five internal organs, there will be serious symptoms similar to the plague, and if there is no advanced cultivator to use the purification technique to dissolve the yin qi in the body, I am afraid that within seven days, the 'patient' will lose his life due to the failure of the five internal organs.
It's impossible to stop this tragedy now, and the only way to do that is to try to find a remedy, at least not to let the village be destroyed like this..."
Fett knew that she had to come up with a way to save the situation as soon as possible, or she would not be able to explain it to Charlotte.
When Charlotte returned home, she found the hall empty, and her mother, who was always here to greet her, did not show up.
So Charlotte went straight to the back kitchen, only to find that her mother, who had never been good at cooking, was busy cooking, and her father was nowhere to go.
Seeing this, Charlotte suddenly had doubts in her heart and asked, "Mother, why are you cooking today?"
Rachel continued to be busy with the work in her hands, and she didn't have time to turn back, after all, cooking was indeed not her forte, for fear that something would go wrong when she turned around. However, this did not prevent her from answering Charlotte's questions.
"Xiao Xia, you're back. Isn't it very unaccustomed to seeing this scene, but there is no way, your father is unwell today and is resting on the collapse, so I have to take charge of it. You just have to wait for another cup of tea, I'm almost ready to do it. If you don't feel comfortable with your father, you can go and see him. β
The moment she heard her father's body was sick, Charlotte was shocked, and she seemed to hear a loud "boom" in her ears, and then there was only a blank in her mind, and she was in a state of stupor.
