“Please, Benefactor Cheng…” Ming Chen nodded and gestured for Lin Jingyi to sit down.

He wanted to know how this mysterious benefactor Cheng would draw talismans.

At Mingchen's prompting, Lin Jingyi sat down at the table.

She had only seen a little bit of Taoist arts in the world of educated youth, and was not proficient in them.

This was her first time drawing a talisman, and she didn't know if she could succeed.

Since she has just arrived in this world and has not yet cultivated spiritual power, the only thing she can currently draw upon is the surrounding spiritual energy.

Although the spiritual energy in this world is scarce, the temple is fortunately quite good, enough for her to draw talismans.

I recalled the steps for drawing symbols from a book I had read in my memory.

Lin Jingyi was just about to pick up his pen when he sensed Ming Chen was still beside him, so he stopped writing and stared at Ming Chen.

She was a little embarrassed because it was the first time she had drawn a talisman and someone was watching.

"This humble monk takes his leave..." Seeing Lin Jingyi's expression, Mingchen knew that drawing talismans was a personal skill that he could not fathom, so he could only say goodbye.

Lin Jingyi nodded with a smile.

After Mingchen left, Lin Jing also activated his cultivation technique, mobilizing the spiritual energy in the air and gathering it at the tip of his brush.

Before long, a talisman was drawn, but Lin Jingyi was unaware of its power and could only put it aside.

Thinking of the book's description of drawing talismans out of thin air, Lin Jingyi felt a little tempted.

If she could draw talismans out of thin air, she would be subject to fewer restrictions, but there was no rush; she could make plans for the future.

You can't start running right after you've learned to walk.

She could only obediently draw talismans on the yellow paper, repeatedly channeling her spiritual power.

Before she knew it, it was completely dark. Lin Jingyi followed Kong Shi to the guest room, where she still had to continue drawing talismans.

Meanwhile, at the school dormitory.

Yang Wei and Lu Zi slept in the same bed.

It was only eight o'clock, and the two were already preparing to close their eyes and go to sleep.

Only by falling asleep early can you avoid waking up after turning off the lights and avoid encountering strange things.

Although their eyes were closed, neither of them felt sleepy.

"Lu Zi, I can't sleep." Yang Wei tossed and turned beside Lu Zi, finally opening her eyes and saying to Lu Zi.

Lu Zi sighed, "I can't sleep either."

I should have gone to the temple with Sun Fangfang and the others this morning.

"I'm a little scared." Yang Wei had heard Li Lian and the others talking last night, but she was too sleepy to pay much attention.

Thinking about the strange events that have happened in the past few days, I can't sleep at all.

"Don't be afraid, it's all an illusion." Lu Zi was both comforting Yang Wei and reassuring herself.

What era are we living in? Ghosts don't exist; what they saw was just an illusion...

"Okay." Yang Wei nodded and closed her eyes again.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Wei felt the even breathing sounds beside her, but she couldn't fall asleep and was too embarrassed to disturb Lu Zi.

I could only close my eyes and force myself to fall asleep.

Suddenly, the lights that were on went out, and she knew it was time to turn them off.

Yang Wei felt somewhat safe when the lights were on, but she became afraid as soon as the lights went out.

He could only lean closer to Lu Zi, feeling a little bit of warmth.

Before, when all six of them were in their dorm room, people would still be talking after lights out, but now, it's eerily quiet outside.

The warm breath beside her made her feel a little more at ease.

Just as Yang Wei was drifting off to sleep, a cool breeze blew by and lifted their bed curtains.

Yang Wei was less timid than Lu Zi, so she slept on the inside.

She can't sleep with her head covered; she has to leave her nose exposed to breathe.

A cool breeze blew by, dispelling some of Yang Wei's drowsiness.

She and Lu Zi had clearly closed the doors and windows tightly before going to bed... so how did the wind get in and even lift the bed curtains?

Thinking of this, Yang Wei was instantly wide awake.

He buried his head under the covers and pressed himself closer to Lu Zi. His heart was pounding, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Waaah... Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony...

Yang Wei silently recited the twenty-four-character core socialist values ​​in her mind.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The once quiet night was suddenly filled with the sound of wind blowing against the windows and walls.

Yang Wei, who was covered by the blanket, was particularly sensitive and found the sounds outside to be very jarring.

Maybe the wind was too strong and blew the window open? Or maybe they forgot to close the window?

Yang Wei attempted to explain the reason why the window was open using scientific methods.

With that sound, she couldn't sleep at all.

As soon as Xiao Yan entered the dormitory, she found that there were only two people in the room, so she had to go back and report to Nie Juntao.

Nie Juntao was somewhat annoyed when he found out. When he came into the dormitory to check, he did not try to suppress his anger and made a big fuss.

The cold wind that blew up by his presence made the windows rattle loudly.

"Go and ask how to get back," Nie Juntao ordered Xiao Yan beside him.

"Yes."

After Xiaoyan finished speaking, she floated in through the window and crawled into the only bed in the dormitory that was occupied.

Should we sleep together?

Xiaoyan looked at the one inside who was tossing and turning with his head covered, while the one outside was obviously asleep.

It had a sudden inspiration and crawled in from the foot end of the two people.

Yang Wei's leg trembled, and she suddenly felt a bit cold. What was that?

She pulled her feet back.

Suddenly, a cool touch encircled her ankle and slowly moved upwards.

"Ahhhhh..." Yang Wei suddenly screamed and sat up.

She could no longer feel anything on her ankle.

Yang Wei shook Lu Zi, who was sleeping beside her.

"Lu Zi, wake up, Lu Zi..."

No matter how much she shook her, Lu Zi did not react.

Yang Wei felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her hands and feet turning cold. She frantically groped for her phone beside her pillow, turned on the built-in flashlight, and shone it on Lu Zi.

"Lu Zi, wake up..." Yang Wei shook the bed violently.

Yang Wei reached out with trembling hands to check Lu Zi's breathing. Under normal circumstances, Lu Zi should wake up after this level of shaking.

And she was so loud just now...

Just as she was about to reach her hand in front of Lu Zi's nose, Lu Zi suddenly opened her eyes.

"what!"

Yang Wei screamed and jumped up, crashing her back against the wall behind her. She also threw her phone away.

Lu Zi's eyes were entirely white!

In the dim light, she could see that Lu Zi had already sat up.

Yang Wei's fear reached its peak; her limbs trembled uncontrollably. She wanted to run away, but her body was beyond her control.

She slumped against the wall and collapsed onto the bed.

Lu Zi turned to look at Yang Wei.

"Where did Li Lian go?" A voice unfamiliar to Yang Wei came from Lu Zi's mouth, cold and devoid of any emotion.

"She...they...went...went to...Chongyuan...Yuan Temple..."

Yang Wei leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and spoke with trembling lips.

Waaaaah... Lu Zi is possessed by a ghost...

"What are you going to Chongyuan Temple for?" Xiao Yan's icy voice came from Lu Zi's throat.

She was initially startled by Yang Wei's scream, and then she tried to get on Lu Zi's body to scare Yang Wei.

This way, he could both complete the task assigned by the king and avenge being frightened.

"Go away...go away..." Yang Wei was so frightened that she couldn't finish her sentence.

"Answer me quickly!" Xiao Yan suddenly leaned closer, grabbed Yang Wei's hand, and asked anxiously.

Yang Wei's face suddenly turned pale, her heart pounded, and she fainted from the overwhelming fear.
