Next, I waited for seven days.
These seven days have been the calmest but also the most painful days I have experienced in the past few months.
He Yuchen called me almost every day because he was afraid that I would not be able to think clearly and overcome this obstacle.
I did not acknowledge this master in vain.
After three consecutive days of fighting, she stopped, probably because she didn't want to mention it again and let me adjust to it alone and forget about it.
Uncle Ma is right, this is the life I have always pursued, but for some reason, I find it difficult to feel at ease. I always stare blankly at the names on the list, imagining that they are still there.
Seeing me in despair, Uncle Ma sighed and said, "You are a stubborn kid with a soft heart. You cannot get rid of this innate fate. That's why you are like this after the Xian family left."
I smiled bitterly and said that I just wanted to find out who had sealed my confession. Even if it meant killing me, I had to die to understand, right?
Uncle Ma shook his head and said, how can things in this world be so clear? Now we only know that it was sealed by people from heaven. If you want to know more about it, go to heaven and ask.
What the hell...
After thinking about it, I said to Uncle Ma: "Aren't you a regular Taoist priest? Aren't you able to communicate with God? Why don't you ask God for me?"
This time it was Uncle Ma's turn to smile bitterly, and he said: "Don't make trouble, no matter what God, my Taoist qualifications will be gone."
I opened my eyes wide: "Huh? What does it mean that the Taoist book is gone?"
He scratched his head: "Uh... I just got fired."
Fired...fired?
"Why is that? Did you peek at Zhang Tianshi's wife taking a shower?"
"Go, go, stop talking nonsense. Do you say this casually? Be careful of lightning striking you. Besides, there is no real Zhang Tianshi in Longhu Mountain now."
"Why is there no real Zhang Tianshi?"
"Alas, the Tianshi family has only reached the 63rd generation since its ancestor Zhang Daoling. After that, there is no longer any orthodoxy, and the whereabouts of the Tianshi Seal and Tianshi Sword are unknown."
"Why is there no orthodoxy anymore?"
"Because of the two sons of the 63rd generation Heavenly Master, one died young and the other gave up."
"Why would he give up? Isn't the Heavenly Master bad?"
"Then who knows? If they don't want to be a heavenly master, where can I go?"
"Then why were you fired?"
"Where do you come from with so many questions? Even though I have been expelled from Taoism, I still have some friends. Just wait. I will take the time to go to Longhu Mountain later and find someone to ask you."
Uncle Ma's words ignited my hope. He, who has always been lazy, actually wanted to go to Longhu Mountain for help for me.
But I know that in fact, it is in vain for him to ask. Since the Xian family has made such an arrangement, there will be no turning around or changes.
This is my life and it has nothing to do with anyone else.
Zhuang Yuwei's calculation was really accurate. On the seventh day, things really changed.
A stranger called me and said that their company was expanding its business and needed a foreign salesperson who could drive.
I was confused and didn't know who this person was. After asking a few questions, I suddenly remembered.
One night, I drove over a drunk man and complimented me on how good my car was. I even left him my phone number and said he would introduce me to the person in his workplace!
I never expected that a number I accidentally left would be a turning point in my destiny.
This person went directly to the topic and said that his surname was Zhou and that he was the vice president of a trading company. His main business was jewelry. Now that his company was expanding into Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he wanted to call me over to help him.
My job is to run business, but the scope of my responsibilities is quite large. He will give me a city, all the business will be under my control, and the salary will be quite high.
Even a business manager or a regional director.
I took a few deep breaths and asked him where that city was?
He told me two words: Nanjing.
I was inexplicably a little excited and a little sad.
The Xianjia really arranged everything for me and let me go out and practice.
So should I go or not?
I told him to give me a few days to think about it.
He readily agreed and said that as long as I came over, my salary would be no problem and I could raise any conditions.
That night, I was tossing and turning in bed unable to sleep. I felt restless. When I suddenly looked up, I saw a pale ghost face outside the window, staring at me with a pair of eyes like dead fish!
I was startled and suddenly remembered something.
On the night when I came out to establish the temple, a demon broke into the camp, but because there were so many guardians around me and Zhuang Yuwei was confronting him, I didn't dare to act rashly.
He Yuchen also said that I am destined to be in the Five Ghost Pass, so it is easy to attract ghosts.
Hu Ma also said that ghosts arise from thoughts and demons arise from the heart. The reason why I act is not willing at all. There are still obstacles in my heart, so I attract demons.
When I truly understand myself, this demon will go away.
Now that my hall is sealed and the Dharma Protector is no longer here, the devil actually comes to see me again?
Or maybe I had an emotional outburst that day and almost went crazy, so I attracted this guy?
But this demon did not enter the house, but just stared at me from outside, with a greedy light in its eyes.
Looking at that posture, he could climb in through the window at any time and take me away.
I didn't have time to pay attention to this guy, so I turned on the light, walked over and pulled the curtains to block the dead face, then lay down and continued to sleep.
Although the immortals are not here and Zhuang Yuwei is still there to protect the law, it is estimated that this demon will not dare to do anything.
Besides, this is Uncle Ma's house. Regardless of Uncle Ma's carelessness, ordinary monsters and ghosts can't get in.
I just don’t know, if I go to Nanjing, will this demon still follow me?
Early the next morning, I told Uncle Ma about the situation. Seeing that I had made up my mind, he was a little reluctant to let go.
"Boy, do you really have the heart to leave Uncle Ma here alone? Besides, what's so good about Nanjing? It's so hot."
I definitely can't bear it, but there's nothing I can do about it. Can I not go on the path that the old immortal has arranged for me?
He scratched his head: "How about you stay and see what happens."
I smiled bitterly: "It's okay if I stay, but now I feel upset just looking at the door. I feel restless all day long. Maybe going out for a walk will make me feel better."
Uncle Ma sighed: "Okay, if you have thought about it, then go ahead and treat it as your path of cultivation."
I thought for a while and said, "In this case, I won't be able to pay your tuition for the next year, but as you know, I don't have much money now, and I probably won't be able to pay the tuition."
Uncle Ma was a little disappointed. He looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Yes, the tuition fee is due in one month. I still have to refund your money."
At this moment, I was a little broken. In the past year, Uncle Ma and I have been both teachers and friends, brothers and fathers, but more like a bad friend. He never forgets to call me when he watches a pornographic film!
Resisting the twitching of the corners of my mouth, I made a decision.
Before going to Nanjing, I first went back to my hometown to visit my aunt.
After all, her days are numbered.
