"Are you alright?" Zhang Hao asked worriedly when he saw him like this.

Tong Xin opened his eyes, saw the person in front of him, and revealed a malicious smile.

"Of course I'm fine, are you alright?"

Zhang Hao knew that the other party was doubting him—as a member of the new school, and also a fellow person who relied on inner demons to become stronger, he felt no discomfort at all after hearing the Ksitigarbha Sutra.

"The thing I cultivate is a bit special; it can shield me from the influence of those things," Zhang Hao casually replied.

Although the excuse sounded flimsy, it successfully dispelled the other party's doubts.

Because everyone understands that the so-called partnership is nothing more than each party getting what they need, and they may betray each other at any time if necessary.

This reluctance to reveal one's true level of cultivation is perfectly reasonable.

"Did you discover anything?"

Zhang Hao briefly explained the discovery that the village used corpses as nourishment for the feng shui formation, and then once again advised him not to think about causing any more trouble.

"Anyway, this place is filled with yin energy for this reason, so it's impossible for your injuries to heal. Just give up."

Zhang Hao reminded him that doing so would not do any good and might even attract attention, drawing the attention of his enemies who were after him.

Under normal circumstances, Tongxin would definitely agree not to do something that is harmful and has no benefit.

But today, for some reason, Tong Xin twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a very strange expression: "How can that be? That old guy's chanting is really annoying me. I won't be satisfied until I kill him!"

Zhang Hao's heart skipped a beat.

"That old guy is highly skilled; he's a match for us. You'd better not offend him. If we're exposed, we won't fare well either," Zhang Hao tried to dissuade him.

Unfortunately, this move was destined to be ineffective.

"Then you are really wrong. I am very good at dealing with the Celestial Masters who specialize in the Ksitigarbha Sutra."

Tong Xin looked up at him and gave him a malicious smile.

Zhang Hao didn't want to persuade him any further, so he asked him what he planned to do next.

"Just you wait and see, I guarantee I can kill that old guy without anyone noticing. After we kill him, we'll head to Changsheng Village."

The next morning, Zhang Hao saw Tong Xin say she wanted to go out to take pictures after finishing breakfast, so he went out with her.

Tong Xin walked into the bushes, and after confirming that there was no one else around, he began to recite the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva mantra.

As the incantation was finished, the aura emanating from him changed.

Zhang Hao's pupils contracted as he looked at it.

What did he see? He saw a sinful soul that was originally filled with evil and resentment, but instantly became incredibly holy and pure!

Moreover, this person even possessed a trace of divinity!
What exactly is going on?

Upon opening his eyes and seeing the other person's astonished expression, Tong Xin said smugly, "My aura disguise was pretty good, wasn't it? Even you didn't notice the flaw?" Zhang Hao quickly calmed down.

"I really couldn't see any flaws. How did you do that?"

Zhang Hao observed carefully. No matter how he looked at it, this Tong Xin seemed to be a very traditional, old-fashioned lineage of Celestial Masters.

Tong Xin put a finger to her lips and said mysteriously, "This is my personal secret, and I can't just tell you about it."

After saying that, he let out a cheerful laugh and, like a nimble rabbit, hopped and skipped towards the main road outside.

He had already found out the old Celestial Master's address and soon arrived at the old Celestial Master's house.

He waved from outside the gate to the old Taoist master who was sitting under a big tree in the courtyard smoking: "Hello, senior!"

The old celestial master glanced at him, and was immediately surprised. He said to him, "Come in!"

Zhang Hao, as a follower, also went inside.

“Yesterday I went to the funeral site and noticed you chanting sutras, senior. It just so happens that we also study the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva mantra. I never expected to meet someone of the same lineage here. I am so lucky.”

Tong Xin currently appears to be a young and energetic person, and his aura is very clean, indicating that his cultivation level is quite good.

The old Celestial Master was equally delighted. He reached out and patted the man's head, laughing heartily as he said, "I never expected to meet a fellow practitioner of the Ksitigarbha Mantra. Who was your ancestor?"

Zhang Hao watched from the side, and Tong Xin, without the slightest hesitation, gave a name. Upon hearing this, the old master slapped his thigh: "Oh my, what a coincidence! My ancestors were close friends with your ancestors, but we gradually lost touch and lost contact with each other. I never expected we'd meet again! This is a friendship passed down through generations!"

Tong Xin, equally delighted, gripped the other's hand tightly, perfectly conveying the emotion of meeting an old friend in a foreign land: "Yes, this is truly a wonderful surprise. I never expected to meet someone of the same lineage while taking photos in the countryside. Senior, let's have a good chat! I can also learn from you!"

The old man was overjoyed and invited them inside to talk in detail.

The big black dog at the door saw them and tried to bark, but Tong Xin gave it a gloomy look, and the dog immediately wilted and couldn't make a sound.

Zhang Hao noticed this action and secretly asked him telepathically, "What did you do?"

"It's just a minor spell to temporarily silence this dog. Just watch!"

The two entered the house, and the old master asked his wife to prepare a table of delicious snacks and drinks.

A few people ate sunflower seeds, drank beer, and chatted.

Tong Xin was a little embarrassed when she talked about cultivation: "My family members all passed away early, and there are some cultivation-related questions that I just can't understand. But there are very few Celestial Masters who practice the Ksitigarbha Sutra lineage, and I can't find anyone to ask for guidance. Senior, may I come here these days to ask you some questions about cultivation?"

The old master was very hospitable and readily agreed with a wave of his hand: "Absolutely no problem."

Zhang Hao tried to salvage the situation of this self-destructive old master: "You seem to be quite busy these days. If you don't have time, then forget it."

Tong Xin raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, then whispered to him, "Stop with your useless sympathy. I will kill this old bastard."

Zhang Hao was also puzzled and asked him using the same telepathic communication technique, "This old man didn't offend you, did he? Even if he's somewhat restraining you, you can just stay away. There's no need to make such a scene."

"I'm willing, so what? Do you expect me to become a virtuous and benevolent Taoist priest? Once you enter this sect, sign the contract, and are no longer destined to be a good person, don't you understand?" (End of Chapter)
