"Since you have made a solemn vow, this scroll of the Yellow Heaven's Scripture of Non-Action will be passed on to you..."
"……………………"
"Remember this, remember this, do not tell anyone."
"This disciple will certainly remember this." Li Jingxin respectfully accepted a jade talisman, then knelt before Zhang Taihe and performed the three bows and nine kowtows. In traditional Eastern etiquette, this is a formal ceremony for formally becoming a disciple. With Li Jingxin doing this, the two were "without the name of master and disciple, but in reality, they were master and disciple," bringing them even closer than before.
Zhang Taihe did not refuse and accepted the bow. After glancing at Li Jingxin, who looked weary, he stood up and said:
"That's enough for today. Take care of your master's affairs for the next few days. I'll come back again in a while."
"Respectfully seeing off Grand Uncle!" Li Jingxin hurriedly mustered his spirits to get up and bid farewell. After all, he was already over sixty years old and had been busy all day, so he was indeed very tired.
"Hmm, by the way... although it has been a long time of peace, the defenses in your temple have become somewhat lax..."
"This disciple is ashamed..." Although he did not understand what his grandmaster uncle meant, Li Jingxin still nodded.
"Well, I'll be off now. You don't need to see me off." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Taiping took a step forward, and his figure gradually disappeared into the air.
Li Jingxin stared blankly at the figure that had vanished into thin air. After a moment of confusion, he bowed and greeted the empty room.
Such a person, even a god, is probably no better than this... Li Jingxin thought to himself, feeling a little envious.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he quickly walked to the window. After all, he was getting old and was not as young as he used to be. To keep out the cold, he would only open the window slightly and not open it completely.
At this moment, he first looked out the window for a while and saw that the moonlight outside was bright and there was nothing unusual. After carefully checking for a while, he then began to observe the area around the window.
Soon, he found what appeared to be a dead fly in the crack of the open window.
The fly seemed to be trying to squeeze in through the gap in the screen window, but it had already died. Li Jingxin examined it carefully for a few more moments, then frowned, reached out and picked it up, placing it in his palm.
He has discovered that this is actually an artificial creation...
Recalling his grandmaster's previous actions and the pointed reminder before leaving, he suddenly realized.
No one knew what method his grandmaster uncle had used to destroy it, but the exquisite man-made object lay motionless in his palm.
As for who released the flies, Li Jingxin had a vague guess in his mind. Such a thing was not something an ordinary person could produce.
"This guest is no good..."
Thinking of the "distinguished guests" still staying at the temple, Li Jingxin couldn't help but sigh silently.
However, now that he knows that there is such a significant secret within the Yunxiao Temple he is in charge of, as his grandmaster uncle said, he must adjust his precautions accordingly...

Outside the guesthouse where You Huizhong is located, there is a well-maintained bamboo grove, which is said to have been specially transplanted by a certain abbot of Yunxiao Mountain. It is very elegant.
At this moment, in the bamboo grove, two figures stood silently, looking at the inn not far away. They were Zhang Taihe and Zhang Jing.
