Chapter 0003: Opening the Yin-Yang Eye

The dormitory where Ma Tao resides is located at 431. Zhang Zekai approached the window of dormitory 431 and looked inside, finding Ma Tao sound asleep. Clearly, that ghost had not yet arrived.

Zhang Zekai stared intently at the young man and said: "Tell me honestly, have you been experiencing sleep paralysis recently?"

This is in Dormitory 432, next to you..." Tu Shuai said with a smile

Xue Kaige, Yang Baicheng, Lu Tianqi, and others also looked at Zhang Zekai, remaining silent

However, what Zhang Zekai is most worried about now is Ma Tao. Although he has expelled the negative energy from Ma Tao, the ghost that has chosen him will not easily let him go. It is very likely that it will return at night to absorb the positive energy from him

"I cannot speak for others, but I also come from a rural background. I am somewhat aware of many superstitious beliefs," Tu Shuai said to Zhang Zekai with a serious expression.

He walked to the window and looked outside. At that moment, the entire medical university was shrouded in darkness. To his surprise, contrary to his expectations, after opening his Yin-Yang eyes, he could not see the scene of a hundred ghosts roaming the night. However, he felt an overwhelming sense of heart palpitations, as if countless blood-red eyes were staring at him from the darkness. A chill ran down his spine.

After the chilling wind, an old woman appeared before Zhang Zekai. The old woman had an expressionless face, with some wrinkles on her skin. At that moment, her dead fish-like eyes were fixed on Zhang Zekai. Her feet were an inch off the ground, floating in the air. Upon seeing Zhang Zekai, she let out a harsh laugh and lunged at him, as if she had spotted a delicious dish.

Zhang Zekai did not provide an explanation. In fact, he also knew that no one would believe his explanation.

Truly awake

As a descendant of the Xuanmen sect from Longshanshan, it was also his first time dealing with ghosts. It was impossible not to feel nervous. However, amidst the tension, there was also a hint of excitement. For capturing ghosts was not only his responsibility, but it could also enhance his spiritual practice. The more ghosts he captured, the stronger his spiritual practice would become; this was a direct quote from his grandfather.

Zhang Zekai also understands. The education that people receive today is materialistic. Hearing is considered illusory, while seeing is deemed real. It is quite difficult to make them believe otherwise in a short period of time

Drawing talismans is not as easy as most people imagine. It is not simply a matter of taking a red brush and drawing it.

"How is that possible? How could there be ghosts in this world!" Yang Baicheng scoffed.

The Yin-Yang Eye is referred to as the Soul-Seizing Eye in Taoism. In Buddhism, the Yin-Yang Eye is known as the Heavenly Eye among the Six Supernatural Powers. Those who have opened the Yin-Yang Eye can see ghosts and deities

With his current first-grade Daoist strength, he can only draw some relatively low-level talismans, such as the Heavenly Fire Talisman and the Body-Freezing Technique

"I heard this isn't your first time?" Tu Shuai asked the young man.

In fact, you should have heard of sleep paralysis. The scientific explanation for this phenomenon is called a sleep disorder. However, in reality, it is not a sleep disorder, but a genuine case of sleep paralysis. Zhang Zekai sighed

However, this time period should be the best moment for the ghost to arrive

The pen in his hand naturally began to move. He could feel an invisible energy between heaven and earth flowing through his pen onto the yellow paper in his hand

However, Zhang Zekai had never encountered a ghost; although it was a spirit, he did not have complete confidence. Since he had decided to take action, he began to prepare in advance, as there was still some time before midnight. This time was sufficient for him to make his preparations. After finishing dinner, Zhang Zekai started to prepare the talismans.

Looking at the clock on the wall, it was almost twelve o'clock. He felt a sense of anticipation. According to his grandfather, when he turned eighteen, he would awaken his yin-yang eyes.

Zhang Zekai also let out a sigh. This was the first time in his life that he had cast a spell, and he was very happy to have succeeded

Zhang Zekai quickly calmed himself, and the intense feeling of palpitations finally subsided. He took a deep breath, drenched in sweat. In his heart, he secretly thought: Such strong resentment, there is something strange about it

The young man lying on the bed blinked his eyes slightly. He slowly opened his eyes.

Zhang Zekai opened his eyes and looked at the Heavenly Fire Talisman in his hand. He exclaimed with joy, "Finally succeeded." With the Binding Talisman and the Heavenly Fire Talisman, he felt more confident in dealing with the ghost.

The strange state just now left Zhang Zekai feeling somewhat perplexed. He pondered to himself: Could it be that I have truly awakened the Yin-Yang Eye

After Ma Tao left, Tu Shuai looked at Zhang Zekai with a serious expression and asked, "Zekai, you must know what is going on, right?"

As a gust of cold wind swept through, Zhang Zekai raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: It has arrived

Zhang Zekai held a red brush, the tip of the brush paused on the yellow paper. With his eyes closed, not a single thought arose in his mind. Out of the ten talismans he drew, only one could be successful. It can be said that drawing a talisman is extremely difficult

After an hour, he finally completed a binding talisman. Now he is about to draw a more difficult heavenly fire talisman

Zhang Zekai shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I have explained, but you may not necessarily believe it."

Xue Kaige, Lu Tianqi, Yang Wei, and others expressed their disbelief. Only Tu Shuai displayed a contemplative expression on his face

In recent days, Ma Tao has frequently experienced the phenomenon of "sleep paralysis." He even wondered if he had developed a sleep disorder, which could be the cause of this phenomenon

He focused his gaze, and the entire Medical University was shrouded in a dark mist

According to Daoist beliefs, a ghost is not considered a spirit. It is an existence that lies between the soul and a ghost. After a person dies, the main soul within the body will enter the next reincarnation, commonly referred to as being reborn. However, there are some souls filled with great resentment that are unwilling to be reborn. These souls gradually transform into spirits due to the energy generated by their resentment. Of course, if a spirit does not reincarnate, it will also gradually dissipate. The only way to prevent its dissipation is to become a true ghost. To become a ghost, one must absorb the vital yang energy of a living person. This is the principle that without yin, yang cannot be born; without yang, there can be no yin.

Several people in the dormitory were somewhat surprised, looking at Zhang Zekai with incredulous expressions

Ah... have I fainted again? The young man scratched his head, feeling somewhat perplexed

Thinking of that ghost, Zhang Zekai quietly walked out of Dormitory 432

"What? Zekai, are you saying... are you really saying that there are ghosts?" Tu Shuai looked at Zhang Zekai and swallowed hard.

Ah, how do you know?" Ma Tao looked at Zhang Zekai with some surprise

In the chat, everyone knows that this student, number 431, is named Ma Tao and is a student in the preventive medicine program. Today marks the third time he has experienced this situation since coming to the medical university. He went to the medical room for an examination, and everything indicated that he was in good health. When he arrived at the medical university, he was in excellent physical condition. Not to mention fainting, he rarely even caught a cold. This has left Ma Tao quite perplexed

Where am I? I saw Zhang Zekai and others, and the young man was still somewhat puzzled

I do not believe it either

This ghost must be dealt with; otherwise, it will certainly harm many more people.

The sound of the clock striking twelve echoed with a resounding "dong!" "dong!" "dong!" Zhang Zekai felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. He quickly closed his eyes and waited for the sensation of dizziness to subside before opening them again.

Zhang Zekai nodded silently
