Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

In the days that followed, friends left every day.

They were playing together on the playground in the morning, but their parents picked them up in the afternoon.

On the first day, the children cried their eyes out.

The next day, she didn't cry as much.

On the third day, some people started waving goodbye.

The fourth day, the fifth day...

Gradually, everyone seemed to get used to parting.

No longer crying and wailing like that.

Moreover, as videos of the friends who left on the first day were played on the playground, everyone felt a sense of anticipation in addition to sadness at parting.

That day, the employees brought a television to the playground and plugged in a videotape.

On the screen, Tian Tian is sitting at the dining table, holding a bowl and eating with great relish.

Xiao Bao ran around in the yard, chasing a puppy, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

Sweetie's parents took her to the amusement park, where she rode the carousel, the little airplane, and the bumper cars.

Xiao Bao's mother took him to the supermarket, pushing a shopping cart and throwing all kinds of snacks into it. Xiao Bao held onto the potato chips and wouldn't let go.

The children stared at the screen without blinking.

DouDou suddenly said, "TianTian seems to have gained weight."

Little Swallow said, "Little Bao's smile is so beautiful."

"They seem to be doing quite well~"

From then on, showing the video became a regular program every day.

Sweetie has learned to put on her shoes by herself.

Xiao Bao can recite a poem now.

Sweetie and Xiaobao live in the same city. Their families arranged to meet, and the two children played together again.

The images on the screen are updated daily.

The children on the playground watched those scenes, their eyes shining brighter and brighter.

……

As time went on, the parents of several more children were found.

There are fewer and fewer children in the playground.

DouDou's parents have arrived.

Little Swallow's parents have arrived.

Stone's parents have arrived.

Lele, Dazhuang...

One by one, they were picked up by their parents.

The large playground is becoming increasingly empty.

Thirty-odd became twenty-odd.

Twenty-odd became a dozen or so.

A dozen or so became eight.

In the end, only these eight children remained, and their parents were never found.

No, it's not entirely because they can't find them; some of the children's parents are scum of the Medicine Fairy Society.

Eight children stood in the empty playground, looking at the empty swings, seesaws, and slides.

No one spoke.

After a long while, one of the children whispered, "Will someone come to pick us up?"

No one answered.

Liao Zhong is very annoyed lately.

He didn't want these kids to know that their father was scum of the Medicine Immortal Society.

I don't want them to know that I was abandoned.

So he did something.

He personally altered the sealed information of those children.

Change it to an orphan without parents.

Anyway, those scum from the Medicine Immortal Society are all dead, so there's no way to prove anything.

This kind of thing shouldn't be a big deal for him, the regional head.

But unfortunately—

I happened to be there when senior leaders were checking the data.

They caught him in no time.

"Liao Zhong, you explain to me what's going on with these files?"

On the other end of the phone, Bi Youlong's voice was so loud it could lift the roof off.

Liao Zhong held the microphone a little distance from his ear, and only moved it closer after the other person finished shouting.

"Chairman Bi, this... this one..."

"What rubbish! Do you even know what kind of crime it is to tamper with files? You're supposed to be the head of the Southwest region, has a donkey kicked your brain?"

Liao Zhong remained silent.

He knew that nothing he said would make a difference.

Bi Youlong berated him for a full five minutes, finally throwing out the words: "Suspended from duty for reflection, and locked up for two days!"

Liao Zhong put down the microphone and sighed.

Solitary confinement is fine.

Only two days.

He thought it was a good deal.

At least those children from the Medicine Immortal Society won't suddenly discover their true origins in the future, causing them to have a mental breakdown and turn to the dark side.

value.

That's totally worth it!

……

While Liao Zhongguan was in solitary confinement, Duoduo and the others kept up with their progress.

Old Meng comes every day to personally check the children's condition, and the Gu poison is visibly decreasing.

The abnormal density shadows that were originally in the liver area are becoming smaller and fainter.

"This speed..." Old Meng stood by the small playground, repeatedly looking at the report, "It's much faster than I expected."

He looked up at the group of people practicing their martial arts over there.

A light pink mist hung in the air, enveloping the group of people.

After watching for a while, Lao Meng took out his phone and sent a message to Cheng Mo.

After finishing his practice, Cheng Mo took out his phone and glanced at it.

Old Meng's message: "I have something to tell you when I get back tonight."

……

It was evening at the hospital.

Old Meng sat in Cheng Mo's room, with several test reports in front of him.

Cheng Mo and Xia He sat opposite each other.

Old Meng pushed up his glasses: "At the current rate of progress, I might be able to remove the Gu poison directly without surgery."

Xia He's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Old Meng nodded: "The Gu poison has been suppressed to a very shallow surface. With some more practice, it should be able to be completely extracted."

Cheng Mo was also quite happy.

This means that the four children will not have to suffer the pain of surgery.

Xia He suddenly remembered something: the little Taoist priest had asked her to research her special ability and develop it in the microscopic realm.

Knowing that Lao Meng had developed his skills from being a beastmaster, she wanted to learn from him.

She asked expectantly, "Brother Meng, can I learn from you, the biologist?"

Old Meng pushed up his glasses and chuckled, "Of course."

He never kept anything to himself.

Beastmasters are the most despised group in the world of supernatural beings. Their techniques are no longer kept secret, and some beastmasters even beg others to learn their techniques.

To go further, one must study biology, especially microbiology.

In the general population, not many people are willing or able to learn this thing.

Old Meng began to explain to Xia He.

The principles of the Beast Master, the advancement of the Biologist, the interaction between Qi and microorganisms, how to perceive, how to communicate, and how to control.

Xia He listened quite attentively at first.

As I listened, my gaze began to wander.

As I listened, little stars started appearing in my mind.

As she listened, she suddenly raised her hand to interrupt, "Brother Meng, wait a minute."

Old Meng looked at her: "What's wrong? Is there something you don't understand?"

Xia He's expression was complicated: "So, if I want to learn to your level, I need to understand biology first?"

Old Meng nodded: "Yes, especially microbiology, cell biology, molecular biology, and it would be best to learn some genetics as well."

Xia He: "...And then?"

Old Meng: "Then take the postgraduate entrance exam, specialize in microbiology, do experiments with your supervisor for a few years, publish a few papers, and you'll be able to get the hang of it."

Xia He fell silent.

She looked at Lao Meng's serious face, then at Cheng Mo, who was trying not to laugh.

She's just learning a superpower, and they're making her take the postgraduate entrance exam?

She couldn't even get into university, okay?!

Forget it, let's continue researching how to seduce insects.

What if it actually works?

Old Meng seemed to read her mind: "Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be a graduate student, but you need to have an undergraduate foundation."

Xia He leaned back and slumped into the chair.

"I just want to learn a superpower!"

Cheng Mo chuckled beside him: "We're asking you to develop in the microscopic field, not to jump straight to it. Learn slowly, a little each year, and you'll have learned a lot in ten years."

Xia He glared at him: "Ten years? I'll be old by then!"

Cheng Mo said, "If you don't learn, you'll be old in ten years."

Xia He: "..."

She glared at Cheng Mo, who looked at her innocently.

Old Meng pushed up his glasses and said in a low voice, "Actually, it won't take that long. If you just want to expand the application of your superpowers, I can give you some suggestions."
