Chapter 327 The Birth of the Guardian Spirit

Tang Ziji nodded slightly, his expression solemn. "I'm afraid this is unavoidable. I'll send a message to the department leaders shortly. I expect the direction of subsequent work will have to undergo significant changes."

At this point, Tang Ziji looked up at Liu Yuanyuan and continued, "This is very likely to affect your subsequent employment and job positioning. It may even affect your studies and exams. So you have to think about this matter carefully."

Liu Yuanyuan smiled and shook her head. As long as the department where Tang Ziji worked, whose name she still didn't know, didn't stop her from continuing on the path of art design, she really didn't care.

She felt that Tang Ziji's job was a bit dangerous, but the degree of freedom seemed high, and she liked it.

At this time, the old man of the Lu family slowly spoke, his voice as loud as a bell: "Boy, you are very perceptive. If you need any help with this matter, feel free to come to me. I played a role in the resurgence of this country. I will not stand by and watch it be ravaged by some villainous evildoer again."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ziji's eyes flashed with surprise. He looked at the old man from the Lu family and said in confusion, "Grandpa, now that you have become a guardian spirit, is there any way to deal with it?" He was actually thinking, you only have a breath of Qi left now, neither your soul nor your true body, and you have never practiced Taoism, so how can you reverse the situation? Of course, this was too blunt a statement, and he really couldn't say it out loud.

The old man of the Lu family put his hands in his sleeves, looked at Tang Ziji with a smile, and said: "Boy, I can see that you are a genius. You are young and don't understand some things. I don't blame you.

You should know that not everyone can become a guardian spirit, nor can everyone possess one. Today, you see many people with guardian spirits because of national policies that have led to a declining population. In the past, only the most capable members of a family were eligible for guardian spirits.

But we guardian spirits don't just exist to protect people. Today, I, the old man, will teach you a lot about guardian spirits."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ziji's eyes lit up instantly. If a guardian spirit was willing to personally explain the knowledge of guardian spirits to them, that would be a blessing in disguise. This knowledge is more direct and intuitive than learning from books.

He immediately behaved like an obedient baby, crossed his legs, and sat there steadily, looking forward to what Grandpa Lu would say next.

The old man of the Lu family put his left hand behind his back, and gently pinched the small tuft of goatee on his chin with his right hand. He looked serious and spoke slowly and solemnly, "A long time ago, not everyone had a guardian spirit. Just as Tang Ziji said, some people were born with extremely rich Qi, while others were born with almost zero Qi in their bodies.

Those born with a strong Qi are indeed more likely to become outstanding individuals in the future. Among these outstanding individuals, there are many who cultivate the Tao. They have discovered that in addition to absorbing the Qi from heaven and earth, if they can cooperate with others who are also born with strong Qi, help them avoid misfortune and accumulate virtue, they can also receive strong Qi in return.

In modern terms, this could be called the power of faith. The gods and immortals of ancient legends were born this way. They drew upon the power of faith, enhancing their abilities and ultimately escaping mortal life—what's commonly known as attaining immortality.

However, before leaving, they would leave behind a breath of their own Qi to continue to assist future generations. This was because they feared that even after achieving enlightenment and ascending to immortality, they would still need to rely on the power of faith or the Qi between heaven and earth. Gradually, the concept of guardian spirits arose from this.

Therefore, those who can become guardian spirits must be born with a strong Qi. This is one of the most important conditions."

At this point, the Lu family grandfather paused and continued, "Another condition is that they have once gained the power of faith. For example, this person may have done great good deeds and be gratefully remembered by others.

Finally, after death, their soul voluntarily leaves behind a breath of Qi, which becomes a guardian spirit. These three points are indispensable. Therefore, those who can become guardian spirits, and those who possess guardian spirits, are by no means ordinary people.

At this moment, Liu Yuanyuan finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Grandpa, I have a question. I met two people at my second brother's company before. Their guardian spirits weren't humanoid. One person's guardian spirit was a puppy, and the other's was a sheathed sword that looked like a Tang Dynasty sword. It's impossible that a dog and a sword can cultivate immortality, right?"

The old man of the Lu family shook his head, then remembered that Liu Yuanyuan couldn't see his movements, so he explained, "This situation is extremely rare. This kind of guardian spirit is brought from the mother's womb, triggered by obsessions from a previous life.

It could be the obsession of the animal or object that became their guardian spirit, or it could be the result of an obsession from a past life. Therefore, this situation is quite unique. This brings us to another ability of guardian spirits that I was about to tell you about.

Liu Yuanyuan became curious and couldn't wait to ask, "What ability? What kind of ability is it?"

The old man of the Lu family raised his lips, continued to twirl his small tuft of beard, and chuckled, saying, "How should I put it? To use the words of you young people, it seems to be called soul resonance. In my opinion, it means that this living person can work hand in hand with us guardian spirits and fight together."

Liu Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows and was secretly amazed. She didn't expect that her grandfather, who usually stayed in the ancestral hall, knew a lot about the new things of modern young people.

Grandpa Lu seemed to sense Liu Yuanyuan's thoughts and explained with a smile, "We guardian spirits constantly have to protect you, our descendants, so our information naturally needs to keep pace with the times. Otherwise, our Qi will affect yours. If we don't keep pace with the times, over time, those we protect will easily become pedantic, conservative, and old-fashioned."

Liu Yuanyuan shuddered at this and subconsciously let out a disgusted "Huh?" She didn't want to become a conservative.

As if sensing Liu Yuanyuan's thoughts, the gentle young girl's voice came, and she said with a smile: "Yuanyuan, don't worry. With my influence, I won't let you become like your father and become old-fashioned."

Liu Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that the young woman's voice was her Sixth Aunt's. Her voice had completely changed. She wondered if her appearance had changed as well.
