C14 Heart Calming and Mind Quieting

Hsing did not keep me in suspense and immediately gave me the answer.

Vigil Keeper had been guarding the spirit for the entire night. It was extremely tiring. Perhaps there were still ghosts lingering around, and he would have to exhaust his energy.

Therefore, the basic skills that the Vigil Keeper had to learn were to keep his spirit full and replenish his physical strength.

Hsing seemed to be sitting next to the coffin with her eyes closed, but in fact, she was using the secret technique in the door to recuperate her mind.

Hsing made a comparison for me. She sat there quietly for an hour, which was more than enough for me to sleep for two or three hours.

In fact, the effect might be even better.

"What the hell! There is such a magical method? Then Hsing, you... quickly teach me!"

Hearing Hsing's words, I immediately became extremely eager and asked Hsing.

I thought to myself, this is really like 'When I'm tired, I sleep on the pillow. When I'm hungry, I eat the steamed bun.'

I was just worrying about not having enough sleep, but Hsing told me such good news.

If she didn't lie to me, then I would be very lucky. I could find a quiet place to sit for three hours, and I would be able to make up for the lack of sleep.

I pestered Hsing for a long time, but she didn't respond to me.

When I turned my head to look, Hsing's face was actually red. At first glance, she looked like a ripe apple.

I couldn't help but feel tempted. I wanted to go up and bite her.

Suppressing this unreasonable thought, I asked, "Hsing, what kind of expression is this? If you don't want to teach me, then don't teach me. Why are you so embarrassed?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hsing suddenly punched my shoulder and said angrily, "Don't talk about this anymore! You are the one who hates it the most. Say, say..."

I quickly surrendered to avoid making her unhappy.

I rubbed my shoulder that she had punched. It was not painful or itchy, but there was an indescribable strange feeling.

Hsing changed the topic and asked me how the three processes went last night.

She was a distance away from me, and there was my back blocking her view, so she could not see clearly.

I said honestly, "In short, it was okay. It was quite smooth, but a big mouse suddenly appeared out of nowhere and gave me a scare."

"There was a big mouse near the coffin? Then... How is that possible?"

Hsing's face was full of surprise. It seemed that she really did not notice this detail.

I told Hsing about the experience of the big mouse appearing twice, and Hsing repeated it carefully.

When I finished speaking, Hsing kept repeating, "Impossible, impossible!"

From the time Hsing took over from me, she had to do the "cleaning and exorcism" every two hours.

One of the four exorcism processes was to drive away the spiritual creature, including the five categories of Hu, Liu, Bai, Huang, and Hui.

Hu was a fox.

Liu was a snake, also known as a long worm.

Bai was a hedgehog.

Huang was a weasel, commonly known as a yellow weasel.

Gray was a mouse, a rat.

The Vigil Keeper's senses towards spiritual creatures were much sharper than the senses of ordinary people.

How could the big rat be able to jump around under Hsing's eyelids and not be discovered?

This was really a little strange!

I only mentioned the big rat to Hsing. As for the small matter of piercing my finger, I didn't tell her about it.

I felt embarrassed.

After two consecutive nights of vigil, my performance was really too bad. At the critical moment, I would be bald.

Thinking back carefully, what did the little wife do to me in the past two days?

Did she scratch me or give me a big ear-splitting?

Neither!

It was just me scaring myself!

At that time, I didn't realize it. In front of Hsing, I always subconsciously wanted to show off. I wanted to be a man and let her look at me in a higher light.

Unfortunately, until I stepped into the stage of 'balance', I was always impatient and did nothing but pull my pants. Not to mention letting Hsing look at me in a higher light, she couldn't look at me anymore.

Of course, these were all in the future.

I also mentioned the matter of knocking on the coffin.

It was about what I expected. It was Hsing who was afraid that I would waste too much time.

To deal with the corpse, the timing was extremely strict. If one missed the hour, it might cause serious consequences.

Hsing saw that I was in the coffin and refused to come out. She then knocked on the coffin to remind me, which made me squint.

The mountain road was quite far away, but along the way, she chatted and laughed with Hsing. They chatted about some interesting things. Unknowingly, time flew by very quickly.

When we returned to West Mountain, Hsing and I had not chatted enough.

Master had instructed me to bring the Soul Capturing Needle to him as soon as I returned to the mountain.

Of course, I did not dare to be negligent. I put the big wooden chest in the courtyard and did not even take a few more breaths before I went straight into Master's house.

"Deshui, this trip was considered smooth?"

Master's hoarse and heavy voice rang out, immediately suppressing my happy mood.

I nodded and replied respectfully, "Master, according to your plan, the three processes were all very smooth. I have already used this steel needle to prick her forehead. As for whether or not her soul is attached to it, I am not too sure."

As I spoke, I took out the small black cloth bag that was wrapped with the Soul Capturing Needle and handed it to Master.

Master nodded. His thin and big hand suddenly pressed down on my head and then slightly exerted force.

Hiss ~ ~

I let him pull out two strands of hair!

While I was in a daze, Master had already opened the small black cloth bag and took the sharp Soul Capturing Needle in his hand. Then, he leaned towards the candlelight in the house.

What is he doing? Even if you want to pull my hair, you should at least tell me in advance!

[I thought Master would have the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.]

While thinking about it, I took two steps towards Master.

When my gaze fell on the Soul Capturing Needle again, I couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

At some point in time, two black spots the size of a fly had appeared on the tip and the tail of the needle. There was a faint blurry halo around them, and it rippled faintly.

The two small black spots were not fixed and motionless. Instead, they were moving up and down along a fixed route on the needle's body.

When they moved, the halo around the black spots was stretched out, as if there was a small tail behind them.

Master bent down and used the candlelight to carefully look at the Soul Capturing Needle.

I noticed that when he stared at the tip and the tail of the needle at a close distance, the wrinkles on his eyes became even deeper.

Master straightened his body. This time, he lightly rubbed one of my hair. His left hand loosened, as if he was about to let the Soul Capturing Needle fall to the ground.

However, the strange thing was that the moment he loosened his hand, there was an inexplicable attraction between the hair and the needle.

At a distance of about one square inch, the Soul Capturing Needle was dangling from under the hair, swaying left and right.

When Master moved the needle's tail up and changed it to another hair, the situation was the same.

[Heh! How miraculous!]

[When did my hair become a magnet?]

After the verification, Master nodded and put the small black cloth bag into the secret compartment next to him.

Master explained, "That ghost tricked you to open her mouth. In fact, it wanted to tie fate with you. Then, when the first seven nights came and her hostility was at its strongest, she ordered you to go against your own heart and do something that goes against the Heavenly Dao."

"Now that you have obtained her soul and soul, you can basically resolve this fate. In the future, you must remember this and not make any more mistakes or break the rules."

"Do not think that Vigil Keeper can just borrow three times to use for his own purposes, and two hands to accumulate Yin energy, and to neutralize the hatred and evil, just because he is extremely powerful. If he breaks the rules, he will definitely be punished!"

"Think about what happened to your big brother. Sigh … rules!"

At this point, Master let out a long sigh and did not respond to me for a long time.

I have slowly figured out Master's temperament. If he doesn't take the initiative to talk to me, I better shut up and wait.

If I randomly interrupt, I might make him unhappy.

I might even be invited to eat a piece of meat.

I clearly remember the taste of the iron ruler smashing into the palm of my hand. It was especially rhythmic, especially elastic, and especially hot …

I don't want to try it again.

Master turned his hand away as if he was thinking about something.

After about five or six minutes, he finally opened his mouth and asked, "Deshui, is there anything else you need? If not, you can go back first and rest more!"

I never thought that I would get such a good treatment today.

I thought that I would have to stay in this room and listen to him talk for the whole afternoon.

After thinking for a while, I wasn't in a hurry to go back to sleep. With Master's reminder, I really had a question that I wanted to ask.

I said, "Master, this morning, Hsing mentioned to me that there is a method in our sect that can restore one's spirit and essence in a short period of time. What is that method? Why don't you teach me now?"

"Oh, you mean the Heart Calming and Mind Quieting Technique! It's simple, just ten lines of chants! When your second senior brother comes back in the afternoon, let him teach you!" Master said.

I thought, even you said it, but it was just ten lines of chants.

With my memory, I could remember it in two or three minutes.

Since that's the case, why didn't Master teach me?

I thought about it and asked.

Unexpectedly, Master stared at me for two or three seconds, and then an impatient expression appeared on his face.

"Deshui, why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and go back to your room!"

As he spoke, his master suddenly kicked me in the butt.

I staggered a few steps and was kicked to the door.
