Chapter 385 - 231: Success (Part 2)
...
After Chen Lusi discovered that the experiment was indeed effective,
he initially wanted to inform Ji Xin or Xia Yue.
But in the end, he couldn’t find the two, and coupled with Zhang Xiufeng saying he would be back tomorrow,
Chen Lusi thought about it and decided to temporarily abandon the idea of telling them, instead taking the two sisters to visit a few other famous spots in Jinling.
That night.
After dinner,
Chen Lusi brought the two sisters back to the hotel together.
As was the same as yesterday, he went alone to the room opened by the two sisters downstairs to sleep, while the two sisters stayed in his room.
Around eleven o’clock.
Without much feeling of sleepiness, Chen Lusi continued to experiment with the trigger method of the talisman.
After chatting a bit with Chen Lusi using a chat software, the two sisters took a bath together, changed into pajamas, and were ready to sleep.
However.
Just as the two planned to turn off the lights,
a gentle knock on the door sounded.
"..."
Lin Wan, hearing the knock, thought it was Chen Lusi, and immediately jumped off the bed.
Lin Ying glanced at her phone and found no message from Chen Lusi, furrowed her brows, and then got off the bed as well.
Lin Wan quickly ran to the door and forcefully opened it.
"Good evening, you today..."
But as soon as she opened the door, she was stunned.
Because standing outside the door was not Chen Lusi, but a girl wearing shorts and a T-shirt, revealing a pair of elegant and well-toned legs, about the same height as her.
And Xia Panqiu, standing outside the door, was also stunned upon seeing Lin Wan, pausing her words.
Until.
Lin Ying appeared in front of her, and she suddenly came back to her senses.
Lin Wan looked back at Lin Ying, then cautiously retreated a few steps, hiding behind her sister, peeked out to examine Xia Panqiu, and showed a suspicious expression.
Lin Ying looked at the girl in front of her: "Xia Panqiu?"
"Good evening..."
Xia Panqiu looked at the two sisters, her voice suddenly becoming somewhat weak.
Meanwhile.
Chen Lusi, still unaware of what happened, was leaning on a chair, studying the talisman he had copied.
At the same time.
On Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Under Zhang Xiufeng’s repeated requests, Wudang Mountain Yu Zhen Palace’s Zhang Yunzhong and Mount Qiyun Taixu Palace’s Li Feng began to draw talismans.
Their attitude, however, was rather perfunctory, far from the studiousness of Zhang Xiufeng, who seemed to be treating it as a major exam.
As for Chen Qing, he came by to take a look and then went straight to rest.
This time, he didn’t even bother to say anything.
"Celestial Master Zhang."
At two in the morning,
Zhang Yunzhong put down his brush, looking at Zhang Xiufeng, who was taking out new talisman paper and seemingly ready to draw more, couldn’t help but say, "Even if what you’re saying is true, drawing so many in a short time, Chen Lusi may not necessarily use them tomorrow. Why continue to overexert yourself?"
"They will be used,"
Zhang Xiufeng shook his head. "Even if they’re not, being prepared is never a bad thing. Drawing talismans of different sects on the spot is too troublesome."
"..."
Hearing this, Zhang Yunzhong exchanged a glance with Li Feng beside him, then silently looked at Zhang Xiufeng, suddenly sighing with a somewhat pitying look.
It must be said.
Although Dragon Tiger Mountain carries the name of orthodoxy, this is not necessarily a good thing... After all, this title also represents responsibility.
See how this has pushed Celestial Master Zhang, desperately grasping at straws to reclaim the Daoist lineage.
I hope he won’t be hit too hard tomorrow.
Thinking of this.
Zhang Yunzhong couldn’t help but sigh again.
After all, if this Celestial Master was driven mad, what would come of it?
...
The next day.
Chen Lusi got up from bed with some difficulty, rubbing his temples, feeling a headache.
Yesterday, he had slept for only three hours, totally absorbed in his research.
However... there were gains.
He finally figured out the triggering method of the talisman and how to determine the destination.
Simply put,
the former relies on Spirit, and the latter on thought.
When he doesn’t want to trigger the talisman, he just needs to infuse his Spirit into it.
And when he wants to use it, he just needs to infuse it again with Spirit... letting it reach a certain threshold.
Although somewhat counterintuitive,
this was the only solution Chen Lusi came up with last night.
He still doesn’t understand the details.
He plans to ask Zhang Xiufeng... because this method doesn’t seem accessible to ordinary people.
As for confirming the destination,
it’s very idealistic.
It’s based on thought.
And it must be a place he’s been to.
Chen Lusi tried to find pictures online and then complete the teleportation.
But the result was a failure...
This is something he needs to verify with Zhang Xiufeng.
In conclusion, although some things were clarified, the problems haven’t decreased; instead, they’ve increased.
Chen Lusi looked at the messy table, thought for a moment, got out of bed, washed up, then took out two talismans he copied, left the room, and gently knocked on the door to the sisters’ room.
Soon.
The door was opened.
The two sisters appeared before him.
"Morning, I’m going to the Jinling Celestial Strategy Mansion Branch, want to join me?"
Chen Lusi looked at the sisters, seemingly coordinated, both with their hair down, and asked.
Lin Wan spoke first, "Brother-in-law, a very pretty girl was looking for you last night."
"A very pretty girl... Xia Panqiu?"
Chen Lusi was slightly taken aback by this and then reacted, "Got it, I’ll ask her later about what she wants."
"Huh? That’s it?"
Lin Wan was a bit surprised.
"What else?"
Chen Lusi looked at Lin Wan curiously.
Lin Wan: "..."
Lin Ying gathered her flowing hair and glanced at the puzzled Chen Lusi, then looked back in the direction Xia Panqiu left last night, smiled gently, and said, "Let’s go, I’ll go with you."
