Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

Cheng Mo nodded to Cheng Shou: "I think I just opened the Inner Realm, but isn't it said that only sorcerers can open the Inner Realm? I haven't studied magic, so I'm not a sorcerer and I'm not sure if that thing is really the Inner Realm. So I want to learn it and then verify it."

Cheng Shou has been shocked many times today. It's just a non-warlock opening an inner vision, nothing special.

He calmly waved his hand: "What was the interior like that you saw? Tell me about it."

Duoduo also looked curious. She had been very interested in hearing about people with supernatural abilities from conversations with others these days.

Now that her senior brother has created another interior scene, she is particularly curious, staring at Cheng Mo with wide eyes.

Cheng Mo briefly recounted his experiences in the inner world—chaos, light spots, the separation of heaven and earth, and playing around like a creator.

Duoduo listened with great delight, her little mouth slightly open: "How amazing!"

Cheng Shou patted the little girl's head: "Does Duoduo like it?"

Duo Duo nodded vigorously: "Mmm!"

Cheng Shou chuckled and said, "As long as you lay a solid foundation, you can learn whatever you want. Our Liangyi Temple has plenty of martial arts techniques to pass down."

Duoduo looked on with anticipation and admiration: "Master is so amazing."

Cheng Shouzhi was delighted and readily accepted his young apprentice's praise. Half of the techniques passed down in Liangyi Temple were filled in by him over the past few decades, so he had to let his young apprentice praise him even more.

He turned to Cheng Mo: "The third cabinet in the east room's library is full of magic-related items, all of them exquisite. Take a look."

Cheng Mo nodded and noted it down.

Cheng Shou added, "In addition, there is a simple way to know if what you are seeing is the inner vision the sorcerer is talking about."

Cheng Mo asked, "What method?"

Cheng Shou said, "In the inner vision, ask a question that you don't know but is easy to verify. If you can get the correct answer, it naturally means that what you see and hear is the inner vision."

Cheng Mo slapped his forehead: "How could I not have thought of something so simple?"

Cheng Shou glanced at him sideways: "The worst thing for cultivators is to have extreme emotional swings. You brat, have you spent all those years cultivating on Big Yellow?"

Big Yellow was lying in the sun not far away when it heard its name called. It immediately pricked up its ears, wagged its tail, and ran over.

"Woof woof!"

Cheng Mo: "..."

Cheng Shou rubbed Da Huang's head and led Duo Duo back: "Let's go watch TV."

Duoduo turned around and waved to Cheng Mo: "Senior brother, you can take your time figuring it out. Let's go watch TV!"

Cheng Shou took Duo Duo back inside, but instead of watching TV, they played on the computer.

Cheng Shou quietly took out a game disc and chuckled, "Let's see what this is."

Duo Duo's eyes lit up: "Master, when did you buy this?"

Cheng Shou lowered his voice: "Just yesterday, when you and your senior went to buy a computer, I had Xiao Li bring it back. There are dozens of games in it, let's try them all."

Duo Duo nodded vigorously: "Mmm!"

The master and apprentice furtively turned on the computer, inserted CDs, and began studying the games.

……

On the edge of a cliff.

Cheng Mo checked the time; it was still early.

Let's try again then.

He sat down cross-legged again.

Close your eyes, concentrate, and empty your mind.

Having learned from the first experience, I got into it quickly this time.

The chaos reappeared before my eyes, and with a thought, heaven and earth took shape.

Cheng Mo stood in the world he had created and began to think about what questions to ask.

It was a question he didn't know, but one he could verify today.

He quickly had an answer in his mind: What would be the content of today's midday news?

As the thought arose, a ball of light appeared before him.

The ball of light was smaller than Duoduo's fist and floated there quietly.

Cheng Mo reached out to grab it, preparing to break it as described in the book.

As a result, his hand went straight through.

The next moment, news footage flashed through my mind.

The picture was very clear; the announcer's face, the order of the news, and even the subtitles were all clearly visible.

Cheng Mo withdrew his hand, but the ball of light was still there; it hadn't disappeared. (He was asleep and didn't want to say anything: Read this book!)

This once again shattered his understanding.

Isn't the answer only found by breaking the sphere of light? What's this thing all about?

If it doesn't break, the more questions I ask, the more the light spheres will accumulate, until they fill the interior...

The ball of light vanished in the next instant.

Ok.

Cheng Mo realized that his worries were unnecessary.

Now we just have to wait for the answer to be verified.

Consciousness rises to the surface, exiting the inner vision.

I opened my eyes, and there was still that familiar cliff in front of me, and those familiar mountains in the distance.

Cheng Mo took out his phone and dialed Xia He's number, wanting to share his good mood with someone.

beep-

connected.

Cheng Mo chuckled: "Guess what I did?"

Xia He: "???"

She had just had a fight with her parents, and Cheng Mo pulled this stunt.

My parents practically idolize Dou Mei; I'm not allowed to have any doubts about her.

The key point is that Xia He tried to follow him to find a flaw, but she lost track of him—doesn't that prove there's a problem?

But what her parents were concerned about was: You actually followed Aunt Dou? How could you be so insensible?

Xia He slammed the bedroom door shut and yelled into her phone, "Little Taoist priest, are you crazy? How am I supposed to know what you did?!"

Then there was a moment of silence.

Cheng Mo was about to speak—

"ah!!!"

Xia He's voice burst from the phone, making Cheng Mo's ears ring.

He quickly moved his phone away.

The screams were still coming from over there, mixed with all sorts of noises.

At this moment, Xia He's mother, Liu Yuping, banged on the bedroom door from outside: "Open the door! Come out!"

Xia He flung open the door and gave her mother a big hug with a beaming smile: "Oh! I'm so sorry, Mom! I shouldn't have argued with you!"

She rushed out and hugged her father in the living room, saying, "And Dad, I promise I'll never talk about Aunt Dou like that again!"

Xia He's parents were bewildered by their daughter's sudden enthusiasm, exchanging bewildered glances, wondering what had gotten into her.

Cheng Mo: "???"

What's going on?

Is this girl even listening to me?

I could sense the Qi! Such a big thing, and you were arguing with your parents over there?

Wait, why did she argue with her parents?

And who is Aunt Dou?

Just then, the sound of a door closing came from the other end of the phone, followed by cheers. You could feel Xia He jumping up and down even through the phone.

Xia He cheered, "Little Taoist! That's amazing! You finally did it! How do you feel right now? Tell me!"

Cheng Mo: "..."

He originally had a lot to say and a lot of good feelings to share, but Xia He's actions just now completely interrupted his conversation.

He only wanted to know one thing: "Did you just have a fight with your parents?"

Xia He: "It's nothing, just minor issues. Your situation is the important thing. Tell me how you managed to do it?"

Cheng Mo said, "I just sat in my usual practice spot and meditated. In this familiar environment, I looked inward and suddenly saw the presence of Qi."

His tone was very flat, without any emotional fluctuation. After finishing, he quickly followed up with, "Why did you argue with your parents? I heard you mention Aunt Dou, who is that? Is she a relative of yours?"

Xia He's excitement was dampened considerably by his calm tone, and when Cheng Mo asked about Dou Mei, her irritation returned.

She sighed: "My parents were scammed in a business deal."

Cheng Mo frowned: "What's going on?"

Xia He recounted the whole story from beginning to end—the purchasing agent's accident, Dou Mei's appearance, the distributor taking over, her parents' gratitude towards Dou Mei, and finally, she mentioned that she had been following Dou Mei.

"I went to follow that guy, and I lost track of him! Don't you think there's something wrong with him? My parents even scolded me, saying I shouldn't have followed him, that it showed a lack of trust! Trust me for good! I just want to arrest that guy and interrogate him properly!"
