Chapter 14

Opening the Third Eye is extremely difficult. On the day Lu Li became a Taoist priest, he secretly tried it once without his master's knowledge.

He did succeed, but after the effect wore off, he fell into a coma for three days and three nights. When he woke up, he almost got his legs broken by his master.

Afterward, Master Xuanyun, with a mix of frustration and disappointment, warned him that not everyone can use the Third Eye. One must have a sufficiently strong soul; otherwise, a surge of yin energy could easily lead to a violent death.

Moreover, if you can see them, they can see you too. If you encounter powerful evil spirits, you won't be able to run away.

For the Third Eye, it's best to have all four elements: the Third Eye talisman, the incantation, the celestial chart, and the hand seals. This ensures safety.

The incantation and hand seals are easy; Lu Li was very familiar with them. As for the other two, they were hard to find. Fortunately, with his experience, even if he lacked two elements, it wouldn't affect the outcome.

After reciting the incantation, the blood on his brow turned a deeper red, glowing like a strange red light in the dark night.

"Third Eye, open."

Instantly, large tears streamed from Lu Li's eyes. He quickly closed them and, when he opened them again, the world around him had turned black and white.

This world, which would scare ordinary people to death, made him feel complex, filled with nostalgia.

He scanned his surroundings and suddenly froze, his expression becoming strange.

Next to the pile of dolls, a little girl was squatting on the ground, holding a black cat and gently saying, "Xiaohei, you were so fierce just now! You can't do that anymore, or I won't play with you."

The black cat seemed to understand the girl's words and nodded obediently.

"Xiaohei, Mom and Dad, and even Grandpa, don't play with Jiajia anymore," the girl said, gradually sobbing. "If you don't play with me either, I won't have any friends left."

"Jiajia," Lu Li finally spoke.

"Who called me?" Liu Jiajia was taken aback, looking up at Lu Li with surprise. "Brother Lu Li."

"Hehe," Lu Li opened his arms and smiled. "Jiajia, I haven't seen you in a long time. Come here and let your big brother hug you."

Liu Jiajia, moved, held the black cat and stepped forward. Just as she touched the circle formed by the grains, the black cat, as if it had touched a hot iron, let out a piercing scream and instantly darted out of Liu Jiajia's arms.

After landing, the black cat crouched on all fours, its back legs slightly bent, and its green eyes glared at Lu Li with hatred and ferocity.

Liu Jiajia was clearly frightened, standing still and trembling, neither daring to move forward nor backward.

Lu Li glanced at the black cat and understood.

Grains are yang, and extremely yang. The black cat is extremely yin, so it naturally has no advantage against the grains. Liu Jiajia, being a living soul with her life not yet over, is not restricted by the yang energy of the grains.

"Brother Lu Li, do you want to bully Xiaohei too?" Liu Jiajia looked at Lu Li sadly, her eyes red and teary.

"No, no. Jiajia, how could your big brother bully him? Your parents miss you, and they asked me to find you."

"I miss them too, but they don't play with me."

Lu Li glanced at the black cat, secretly bit his tongue, and then said, "Jiajia, be good and come here. I'll take you to them."

"Okay."

Liu Jiajia nodded happily and was about to step into the circle when the black cat let out a fierce cry and pounced at Lu Li.

"Beast."

Inside the protective circle formed by the grains, Lu Li was not afraid. He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of blood from his tongue.

True qi flowed, and the blood from his tongue shot out like an arrow, quickly hitting the black cat. The black cat's shiny black fur, as if washed by strong acid, became mottled and damaged.

Seeing this, Liu Jiajia was terrified, covering her eyes and crying, "You lied to me, you're a bad person, you want to bully Xiaohei too."

Seeing Liu Jiajia turn and run back, Lu Li was shocked and, without hesitation, stepped out of the circle and grabbed her arm.

Inside the protective circle, it was calm, but outside, a cold wind blew.

In a short time, Lu Li's legs and arms that had extended out of the circle became cold. The wind felt like he was deep in an ice cave, and he couldn't stop shivering.

Fortunately, Lu Li was experienced and knew that this feeling was 40% due to yin energy and 60% due to psychological effects.

Taking advantage of the black cat's distraction, he quickly dragged Liu Jiajia back into the protective circle.

"Meow, let her go."

After dealing with Liu Jiajia, Lu Li was about to retreat when he suddenly heard the black cat speak in a human voice. He stopped, his face stern, and said, "Since you understand human language and can speak, you should know that Liu Jiajia is still alive. Staying with her will only harm her."

"Do you think I want to? I was wronged and buried with a cat's corpse, so I can't reincarnate. She is my only friend."

"Wronged?" Lu Li frowned and extended his right hand. "Tell me your birth date."

As the black cat recited its birth date, Lu Li calculated with his fingers. After a moment, his expression became increasingly serious.

"You did indeed die unjustly. If you trust me, I will help you seek revenge and find a way to send you away. But from now on, you must not continue to haunt Liu Jiajia."

The black cat was clearly reluctant, pacing back and forth around the protective circle. Finally, it said, "Okay, I trust you. I want to say goodbye to Jiajia."

"Alright."

Lu Li walked into the protective circle and held Liu Jiajia, preventing her from coming out again.

Given the current situation, the chances of success in a confrontation were low. If the other party lied, he would have nowhere to turn.

Moreover, Liu Jiajia is a living soul, and frequent contact with spirits would be harmful to her in the long run.

Hearing Lu Li's agreement, the black cat began to arch its body, growing taller and taller, eventually transforming into a young woman in her twenties. However, her form became somewhat blurry, clearly a heavy burden for her.

"Xiaohei, you've grown up?" Liu Jiajia was taken aback.

The young woman's spirit smiled sadly, "Little girl, I was always an adult. You might not understand now, but remember, some men are just wolves in sheep's clothing. Don't trust them, especially those who speak sweetly."

Hearing the young woman's words, Lu Li suddenly thought of Xia Qingxuan, thinking: Not only are sweet-talking men untrustworthy, but beautiful women are too!

He realized that although this spirit was fierce, it wasn't evil. With Master's character, he would have tried to eliminate her immediately, only to be taught a lesson, a classic case of self-destruction.

"Sister, will you come back to see Jiajia?" Liu Jiajia asked.

The young woman didn't answer, just looked at Lu Li. Lu Li bent down and held Liu Jiajia in his arms, smiling, "As long as Jiajia is good, your sister will definitely come back to see you."

"Okay, I'll be good. Sister, can we pinky promise?"

Liu Jiajia extended her finger, and the young woman, suppressing her fear, reached out.

Lu Li didn't stop her, stepping forward to let Liu Jiajia's arm extend out of the protective circle, watching quietly as their fingers interlocked.

"Remember, my name is Wang Xuexi."

The young woman's form gradually shrank, transforming back into a black cat. She looked at Lu Li and Liu Jiajia with reluctance and then disappeared.

After a while, Lu Li patted Liu Jiajia's head, "Little girl, it's time to send you back."
