Shi Shiwu was indeed a Taoist with some real skills.
He had been a disciple of the Qingxu Temple, known as the "Number One Taoist Temple," since he was young. His master was Taoist Wu Wei Zhenren, and because he was as sensible as his name suggested, he was like a fish in water in the circle of the rich after he finished his apprenticeship.
Ever since he exorcised an evil spirit from a horror film crew,
He became famous in the entertainment industry. In addition, he also helped many artists change their names.
Divination.
No divination worked.
The artists in the circle respected him very much.
Therefore, when he appeared in the cast, quite a number of celebrities recognized him.
They immediately came up to greet him warmly.
"Master Shi, why are you here today?"
Shi Shiwu naturally could not tell them the purpose of his visit.
He put on the airs of an expert.
He said in a mysterious tone, "I passed by here today.
Suddenly, I felt a surge of spiritual energy rising from the ground.
So I came to take a look. "
"Spiritual energy? It's in this crew? "These people immediately became excited.
"We've been here all day, day and night.
Can the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth prolong our lives and beautify our skin? "
Shi Shiwu shook his head and denied.
"No. This spiritual energy is only beneficial to us Taoists. For ordinary people, it only makes the air here fresher and more pleasant. As for prolonging life, beautifying skin, and so on, it has no effect."
"I see." The people were a little disappointed.
They lost their interest in watching.
They all said,
"Then we won't disturb you, Master."
The artists said goodbye and left one by one. Although Yang Cai'ning did not have any intention of leaving, they only thought that Yang Cai'ning wanted to ask Master Shi to read her fortune again, so they did not pay much attention to her.
Shi Shiwu watched these people leave, then opened his small box, thoughtfully observed for a while, and picked out a few things from it.
"Master Shi, you just took a look at the Ai Ci. Did you see anything unusual?" Yang Cai'ning asked.
Shi Shiwu said, "The other party's temperament is very clean. If she's not in the same line of work as me, then she's a very powerful demon. I can't see her real body with my naked eyes. Wait for me to try. "
Shi Shiwu dipped a willow twig in cinnabar and drew a messy pattern on his palm. Then, he picked up a yellow talisman paper that was soaked in some unknown water and slapped it on his palm.
Following a flash of golden light, the yellow talisman paper completely disappeared from his palm. Even the cinnabar painting had disappeared without a trace. Shi Shiwu's palm looked no different from an ordinary person's.
Yang Caining, who was standing at the side, was extremely shocked by this scene that defied science. Her respect for Shi Shiwu grew even more, and there was even a trace of excitement in her heart. As expected of a powerful master. Ai Ci definitely won't be able to escape this calamity this time.
Yang Cai'ning asked curiously, "Master, is this talisman used to subdue demons?"
Shi Shiwu replied, "No, this talisman is used to test the other party's identity. For now, I can't be sure if she's a demon or not. "
Shi Shiwu explained to Yang Cai'ning, "If she's in the same line of work as me, the talisman paper will heat up according to her level of cultivation. If she's not in the same line of work as me, the talisman paper won't react."
He continued, "But if I want to test her identity, I need to touch her body with my palm. Miss Yang, please think of a way to trip her or bump into her. I'll take the opportunity to support her from the side. "
"Okay." Although Yang Cai'ning agreed, she wasn't very confident.
The Ai Ci felt like she had a pair of 360-degree eyes. She was able to avoid everything. It would be very difficult to trip her.
Sure enough, Yang Cai'ning walked back and forth between the Ai Ci and the Ai Ci several times. She even sprained her foot midway, but she didn't even touch the corner of the Ai Ci's clothes. Every time, the Ai Ci would miraculously avoid her.
The effect of the talisman was almost over, but Shi Shiwu still couldn't get close to the Ai Ci.
He was now one hundred percent sure that the Ai Ci wasn't an ordinary person.
"Master, how about … you trip next to her and take the opportunity to support her?" Yang Cai'ning suggested cautiously.
Shi Shiwu frowned. Was she asking him to … scam her?
He was a respectable cultivator with a high level of cultivation. How could he do such a thing?
But he didn't have any other choice.
… …
On this day, Gu Ting, Tian Qi, and Wingl had a full schedule of scenes. The Ai Ci sat in a corner and browsed through all the popular Weibo posts. She also took a peek at the comments under her own Weibo. Suddenly, she felt a little bored.
She supported her chin with one hand and seemed to be in a daze as she stared into the distance.
In fact, she had already seen Yang Cai'ning and Shi Shiwu whispering to each other. She just didn't want to talk to them just now.
Shi Shiwu's body carried an authentic Daoist aura of righteousness. She wasn't afraid of dealing with such a righteous Daoist.
The Ai Ci thought for a moment. It seemed that these two people wouldn't stop until they figured out her identity. The sooner she let the Daoist know her identity, the better it would be for her to have some peace and quiet.
Therefore, when she held back, Shi Shiwu's palm finally touched the Ai Ci's shoulder.
The Ai Ci let him hold her for a while longer. Then, she smiled very amiably and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Thank you, little girl." Shi Shiwu stood up straight and thanked the Ai Ci with a smile. Then, he turned and left.
When he turned around, his expression suddenly froze. Just now, he didn't feel anything from his palm. So … the Ai Ci really wasn't in the same profession.
This made things difficult. It would take a lot of effort to subdue a demon to be able to restrain her demonic aura to such an extent. Moreover, this demon didn't hurt anyone.
"How is it, Master?" Yang Cai'ning asked him anxiously.
"It should be a demon." Shi Shiwu said with certainty.
Yang Cai'ning urged him, "Then quickly subdue her."
Shi Shiwu shook his head, "This demon didn't hurt anyone. Subduing her is against the laws of heaven."
Yang Cai'ning's tone had a hint of indignation, "Who said she didn't hurt anyone? Gu Ting looked like he was cursed by her. And Han Yulin before … "
Shi Shiwu suggested, "How about this, Miss Yang? Let me see what her real body is first. Then, we can talk about subduing the demon."
Shi Shiwu said as he took out a simple bronze mirror from the box.
Yang Cai'ning asked, "What's this?"
Shi Shiwu answered, "A Demon-revealing Mirror."
He hid in a corner and set up a small array with talisman paper. Then, he lit three incense sticks in front of the array. Then, he placed the bronze mirror at the eye of the array. He carefully adjusted the angle so that the Ai Ci's figure could fall into the mirror. Then, he sat cross-legged and stared at the mirror, silently reciting a spell.
Green smoke rose straight in front of the mirror. Shi Shiwu finished reciting the spell. Then, he bit his finger and touched the bottom of the mirror.
The Ai Ci, who originally had her back to them, turned her head right at this moment. In the mirror, she looked straight at Shi Shiwu with a faint smile.
She seemed to have found out that he was casting a spell, but she was not afraid.
This demon was really arrogant.
Shi Shiwu's heart skipped a beat. He forced himself to calm down and looked at the mirror again.
The spell was cast.
But in the mirror …
There was nothing.
Shi Shiwu's face immediately changed.
Yang Cai'ning saw his sudden change of expression and asked nervously, "Master, what's wrong? Is it really a very powerful demon?"
Shi Shiwu stared at the Demon-revealing Mirror. After confirming that there was nothing there, his face became paler and paler. There was only one possibility.
Her true body could not be seen in the first place.
And this kind of demon … there was only one possibility.
Shi Shiwu immediately packed up his small box and said seriously, "Miss Yang, I can't accept this business."
He just thought that the Ai Ci was arrogant, but he did not expect that he was the arrogant one. He actually dared to test a Venerable several times!
Thinking of this, Shi Shiwu's heart suddenly became uneasy and uneasy. For a moment, he did not know how to remedy the situation.
Yang Cai'ning looked at Shi Shiwu in confusion. His expression changed from one of confidence to one of fear and trepidation. She immediately asked, "What do you mean? You can't get rid of this demon? "
Shi Shiwu said in a low voice, "It's not that I can't get rid of it, it's that I can't get rid of it." Of course, if he really wanted to get rid of it, he really could not.
After all, the Ai Ci had cultivated for billions of years, but he … only had a few decades.
Yang Cai'ning was puzzled. "Why? Isn't it your duty to subdue demons and eliminate demons? "
"Miss Yang, first of all, we can only subdue those demons that harm the human world. Secondly, there's a kind of demon. Actually, it's not quite accurate to call them demons. If we really want to talk about them, they're neither demons, humans, nor gods. They're extremely special existences. They're absolutely irreplaceable, and they're the source of human existence. "
Shi Shiwu's expression was very serious. "It doesn't matter if there's one less fox spirit, one less peach blossom spirit, one less animal spirit, one less plant spirit, or one less microbe spirit in this world. But if there's one less of them, it'll be a great disaster for human beings. You have to know that the entire life system of the Earth depends on them. "
At the end of his speech, his tone had become very sharp. "So even if they do something outrageous, unless they solve it internally, we humans can't do anything to them!"
Yang Cai'ning did not understand. What did this mean? So the Ai Ci was a demon, but as humans, they still had to flatter her? What life system structure was on her? Then what exactly was she?
Shi Shiwu looked at Yang Cai'ning's bewildered face and said, "Also, I can't catch her. You should find someone else who's more qualified. Oh, no, no matter how qualified they are, don't find anyone else. Whether it's strength or reason, we can't do anything to her."
Yang Cai'ning asked closely, "Then what kind of demon is she?"
"Don't ask. Unless she's willing, I can't reveal it."
Shi Shiwu thought for a while, and still gave Yang Cai'ning a piece of advice. "Miss Yang, remember, you must always be in awe of her. Don't ever do something like today again. She's already seen through our little tricks. "
Yang Cai'ning was shocked. What did he mean by 'saw through'?
She wanted to ask more, but Shi Shiwu refused to say anything more.
"Miss Yang, please take care of yourself. I still need to apologize to her."
Shi Shiwu nodded to Yang Cai'ning in farewell, and walked towards the Ai Ci with his suitcase on his back.
Sigh, it was reasonable to say that their clan had so few people and such a vast territory. The chances of him bumping into them and offending them were too low. No wonder his master told him a few days ago to be careful with his words and actions this month and to concentrate on cultivation. He must have predicted that he would encounter such a calamity. If he did not listen to his master, he would definitely suffer a loss.
… …
"Hello, I am Shi Shiwu, a disciple of the 298th generation of the Qingxu Temple. I'm really sorry for offending you today. It's because my cultivation is too shallow that I didn't recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive my offense." Shi Shiwu said as he made a 90-degree bow to the Ai Ci. His expression was one of reverence.
"Shi Shiwu?" The Ai Ci looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.
Shi Shiwu felt a burst of apprehension, but he replied respectfully, "Yes."
The Ai Ci nodded. "That's a good name. You didn't disappoint this name."
Hearing her tone, it seemed that she would not make a fuss about it. Only then did Shi Shiwu feel a bit relieved. He nodded and said, "Yes.
Go. I won't make a fuss about today's matter. "
Shi Shiwu apologized again and again. He nodded and bowed several times before respectfully leaving.
Because they were in a corner, Shi Shiwu, a master of metaphysics, bowed deeply to the Ai Ci, no one else saw it.
Except for Gu Ting.
Although Gu Ting used to be an atheist, he had heard of Master Shi, who was highly sought after by people in the circle.
He had occasionally seen this person at some social events that he could not avoid.
