Chapter 143 “Master, save me!”

The girl’s voice on the other side of the radio wave trembled slightly unconsciously, and he heard nervousness and anticipation in her voice, as well as a hint of fear that was not well hidden.

“I’m free today.”

Cen Dongsheng glanced at the time on his watch and replied.

Song Yutang, the most famous “cover girl” of the Curse Masters Association and one of the most popular female Curse Masters in the future society. He saved her life on Shilou Mountain, and later found out that they were both studying at Tianhai University. She said that she would repay him after school started.

He had already forgotten about it, and didn’t care whether Song Yutang would remember to thank him or not. He just wanted to make a good relationship with her. If she did, that would be great, but if she didn’t, that would be fine.

Moreover, although it was not long before the incident, several major events had happened in the meantime, and he really didn’t have the energy to pay attention to such details…

But since the other party still remembers it, it means that his character is not bad.

“That’s great”

There was surprise in Song Yutang’s voice; the other party’s happiness was beyond her expectations.

Cen Dongsheng quickly guessed that the reason she wanted to see him was more than just to say thank you.

“Well, you can pick a place and time. One near the school.”

“Okay, okay…Offrey Cake Shop is near the school gate. They have coffee and milk tea there. We can sit down and chat while we drink.”

……

After putting his things away, Cen Dongsheng drove back to the vicinity of the school.

When he walked into the cake shop, he saw the female college student sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window waving at him with a smile on her face.

She wore a ponytail draped behind her and a baseball cap. Her upper body was a loose, dark-colored casual T-shirt with fashionable patterns, with the cuffs casually rolled up. She wore high-waisted jeans with the trouser legs just enough to reveal her ankles, and a pair of white canvas shoes on her feet. This outfit suited the girl’s temperament very well, and she exuded youthful vitality.

Cen Dongsheng walked up to the other person and sat down. The table was already filled with a wide variety of desserts, ranging from macarons to mille-feuille cakes, all of which were the types young people liked.

“I come to this place often, the desserts are delicious.”

She introduced it enthusiastically, and if you looked closely, you could see cake crumbs on her mouth.

“Sorry, I’m hungry, so I’ll eat first. Order whatever you want, the American coffee here tastes pretty good… Please feel free to ask, it’s my treat.”

“Um……”

It seems that this girl really likes desserts.

Cen Dongsheng couldn’t help but glance at her belly.

He remembered the beautiful abdominal vest line of the cover girl.

For ordinary people, it is difficult to maintain a good figure and continue to enjoy the hobby of eating desserts.

However, the words of the spell-binding master are slightly different. Whether it is cultivation or mobilization, while the true Qi brings about enhanced athletic performance, the energy consumption of the whole body is enormous.

Plus, she is also the holder of “Tianlei Wuwang” and possesses the ability to control electric current, which sounds very suitable for losing weight.

As she said, Cen Dongsheng ordered a cup of coffee and then started to taste the dessert.

“how do you feel?”

“Yeah, it’s quite delicious.”

Song Yutang seemed to be relieved, and then she took out a red paper bag from her shoulder bag.

“that……”

While carefully observing the young man’s expression, she placed it on the table and pushed it in front of him.

Cen Dongsheng took a look and saw the heavy banknotes inside, and couldn’t help but smile.

Not to mention the depreciation of wealth in the future, he had already lost the concept of money; even in this era, a top-level spell master could not be hired with money. But the other party was still an ordinary person after all, and he didn’t know how to thank him, so using money was at least practical.

“I told my parents, and they invited you to be their guest, hoping to thank you.”

Song Yutang was halfway through her words when she quickly added.

“I didn’t mention those ghost things. I just said that I accidentally got into an accident on the mountain and you saved me.”

“I appreciate your kindness, but you don’t need to pay. We are just guests… We can talk about it later when there is a chance.”

Cen Dongsheng took a big bite of bread and shook his head slightly.

……

People were coming and going outside the window, but they were the only two customers in the bakery and the atmosphere was quiet.

Song Yutang looked restless.

She didn’t seem to be very good at dealing with people, and after being rejected by Cen Dongsheng, she had no idea what to say.

After tasting the dessert, Cen Dongsheng put down the coffee cup, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and prepared to get up.

“You’re done? Then I’m leaving.”

He was decisive and efficient, but Song Yutang was obviously not so relaxed and quickly grabbed his sleeve.

“etc……!”

“I can wait, please speak directly.”

Cen Dongsheng’s attitude was calm. He looked down at her, making the girl feel a little oppressed.

The last time she met Cen Dongsheng, the young man left her with the impression of a mysterious master or expert. Song Yutang naturally did not dare to treat him as a peer, so she behaved very honestly.

“Um, about the ‘curse master’ that Mr. Cen mentioned earlier…”

Perhaps because she was nervous, the girl didn’t look at him, but only stared at her fingers.
“…Is it possible that I am?”

“Oh?”

Finally I heard an interesting topic.

Cen Dongsheng’s mouth corners slightly raised and he sat back down.

“Tell me about it.”

“Okay. Mainly because of the recent period…”

……

Song Yutang told him about how she had been getting “electrically shocked” recently, with the frequency becoming more and more excessive, and then she told him everything that happened last night.

“I think our dormitory… is haunted right now.”

As the girl spoke, she subconsciously hugged her arms, as if her body was still cold. When she talked about this, her expression revealed fatigue and fear.

“I escaped last night and haven’t dared to go back yet…”

Cen Dongsheng asked as he listened.

“So, you used this electric current to break free from the ghost?”

“I think so. I wonder if this is because of… the latent ability in me?”

of course.

Cen Dongsheng could almost confirm with 100% certainty that this was a sign that a person born with a life ban was about to awaken.

As far as he knew, Song Yutang’s life ban was “Tianlei Wuwang”, which corresponded to Wuwang, one of the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes.

There are 8864 similar destinies. Like the “No Obstacles” which claims to be “a natural born saint”, the sixty-four phases are not a fate taboo unique to this era, but a famous destinies with a long history.

Strictly speaking, he is not far from this level now, so the person in front of him is fully qualified to be his helper… at least for a period of time.

The main reason is that the life ban is easy to cultivate. There is no need to consider finding ghosts and monsters to refine it or making special arrangements. It only requires a certain period of adaptive training. He estimates that within two months, Song Yutang will be able to become an elite Class A curse master.

Not to mention the fixed teammates, it would be a pity to leave such a talent alone. It would be nice to introduce him to Sister Zhizhen and Sister Qingyan. He knew that the latter were trying to build their own power, which was a gratifying attempt.

Of course, the initiative depends on personal desire. Now it is obviously the other party who is anxious, so Cen Dongsheng did not act “eager to recruit talents”. He calmly gave the choice –

“So, you want to become a curse master?”

Cen Dongsheng’s attitude was very direct. “Huh?”

Song Yutang was surprised, and after she realized what was going on, she immediately nodded.

“Yes, if there is a chance…”

The very least you have to do is learn to control your own power, she said.

“I can give you two options.”

He held up two fingers.

“First, I will write you a letter of introduction. You will contact the people of the Super Working Committee directly… By the way, the Super Working Committee is the national department that is responsible for relevant affairs.”

“Is that so? So…”

Song Yutang held her breath. She realized that her intuition had come true and the door to a new world was slowly opening.

“The other is that I will train you personally.”

“What’s the difference?”

“The difference lies in how much I personally care about you. If you choose the first path, I will no longer be involved in your affairs, and someone else will be responsible for you in this regard and in the future.”

“As for the second option, I will be your master, but you have to listen to me. I need to train someone who can help me as soon as possible.”

……

Song Yutang didn’t answer, but blinked and looked a little confused.

It was obviously not an easy thing for her to make a choice without knowing anything.

Cen Dongsheng drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp.

“As for the haunted dormitory you mentioned, do you know the cause?”

Song Yutang frowned and began to recall what happened last night.

She first smelled a strange smell, but her roommates didn’t notice it. As for the cause –

“It looks like a box of facial masks?”

She replied uncertainly.

Facial mask? A modern artifact?
Cen Dongsheng thought that it was some residual Yin Qi brought by ignorant ordinary people that attracted the floating spirits. This situation is the most common.

Since it is not, it means that this matter is not that simple.

interesting……

“It’s okay. You’ll soon be exposed to a whole new world. If you’re worried, go and confirm it with your own eyes.”

He collected his thoughts and raised his finger.

“First, let me show you the vision of a curse master.”

Before Song Yutang could react, the young man tapped her forehead lightly, accurately hitting the intersection of the line between her eyebrows and the front midline.

“…?!”

She could clearly feel an invisible airflow flowing in through her eyebrows and penetrating her forehead.

The violent electric current in the body that had been unconsciously suppressed suddenly surged uncontrollably. Before Song Yutang had time to panic, he found that this energy did not run around everywhere like before. It was like a ferocious river that had been temporarily “tamed” by the river channel and dams, and was rushing along the predetermined track.

For the first time, Song Yutang clearly felt the existence of “bioelectricity” and found that it was matching the “airflow” injected by Cen Dongsheng and moving upward along the center of his eyebrows.

One inside and one outside, one singing and one responding, when the two streams of air met, she felt that her entire top of the head had opened up…

But the girl did not feel any pain. Instead, her tired spirit was lifted and her mind became clear and sharp. It was more effective than applying several bottles of medicated oil.

“This, this is…”

Song Yutang rubbed her eyes and looked around subconsciously. Although her vision had not changed, she felt that “the world had become clearer”.

“I just used my true Qi to stimulate your Yin Tang acupoint.”

Cen Dongsheng explained slowly.

“Yintang, also known as the ‘third eye’, has been a symbol of the ‘third eye’ in the mouth since ancient times. This is not just nonsense. Anatomy has found that the human body has a degenerated retina at this location.”

“The third eye…?”

“Yes, or you may be more familiar with the name: ‘Yin Yang Eyes’. Opening it is the first step to becoming a curse master.”

To step into the door of the path of the spell master, one needs to unlock two secrets in the human body: one is the Dantian, and the other is the Yingtang.

The former is the beginning of transforming the Yang Qi in the human body into true Qi, and the latter is the beginning of cultivating spiritual perception; and “true Qi” and “spiritual perception” are the basis of practice for all incantation masters.

However, refining the true qi requires meditation and the circulation of Qi, which is not so easy to master in public.
Spiritual perception is different. Since ancient times, there have been rumors of people with yin and yang eyes, which is half a step into the category of spell-binding masters. Before learning the operation of true qi, they first have vague spiritual perception, which is the normal state of this kind of gifted people’s barbaric growth.

“Yin-yang eyes? Can I see ghosts now?”

The female college student covered her forehead in surprise.

“In fact, you can still see it in certain situations, but now it is more stable. Not only ghosts, but all abnormalities caused by the imbalance of yin and yang can be ‘observed’.”

Cen Dongsheng tapped the corner of his eye.

“So, if you really encounter a ghost somewhere else, or see something bad, you can see it with these eyes, and then quickly stay away from it.”

……

“Thank you, thank you!”

Song Yutang thanked him profusely.

“Thank you so much, Mr. Cen!”

Cen Dongsheng was quite satisfied with her attitude and nodded slightly.

It is a piece of cake for him to open other people’s eyes.

But that’s what doing favors is all about, helping someone when they need it is better than adding icing on the cake.

Cen Dongsheng put down the cup and stood up again, this time he really intended to leave.

“As for which path to choose, you can think about it slowly after you go back.”

*
He could guess which path Song Yutang would choose in the end.

Considering this person’s personality and her current situation, Cen Dongsheng felt that he was 100% sure. 100%.

After going through the trial in the Sister Shura Field, Cen Dongsheng found that he had indeed become more indifferent and more confident in dealing with people.

He is now like Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who are willing will take the bait.

However, even he did not expect that this day would come so soon——

The next night, he received another call from Song Yutang:

“Cen, classmate Cen, are you in school now? Could you please come to our dormitory, which is in Building 17 of the East Campus…”

The girl’s voice was trembling slightly, mixed with nervousness. She seemed to be walking quickly in the corridor. A noisy background sound could be heard on the other side of the phone, as if more than one girl was screaming in fear.

“what’s up?”

“that is……”

Song Yutang lowered her voice and stopped. But at that moment, she seemed to have discovered something and shouted nervously, her voice distorted.

“——Master, save me!”

It felt like she had repeated the word “Master” in her mind countless times, so she shouted out these words completely out of subconscious reaction.

…sounds kind of funny.
