Ning Tiance opened his third eye for the first time, wanting to see what was so special about Teacher Shen that made it so he could spend a night in a morgue surrounded by fierce ghosts.
As soon as his third eye opened, he saw the soul of a teenaged boy shivering under the bedplate, pitifully hiding from the sunlight.
Then, like a demon, Shen Jianguo turned over the bedplate, and the young fierce ghost was directly exposed to the late morning sun.
This was the first time Ning Tiance had seen such a powerful ghost. He could even struggle on momentarily in the sun. Of course, it was also the first time he had seen such a miserable-looking ghost.
When the Maoshan Sect dealt with a ghost, even if they destroyed it, they first had to undergo a bitter battle. They set up an array, recited spells, exhausted their powers. The fierce ghosts were ferocious, howling, trying to do harm at every moment. A moment's carelessness and they would be injured by Yin energy.
But this fierce ghost somehow made Ning Tiance think of barbecue. After one side was roasted, you turned it over to roast the other side.
Teacher Shen happily invited Ning Tiance to sit on the bedplate, too. Ning Tiance silently looked at the young fierce ghost and inexplicably felt a trace of sympathy.
He thought that a fierce ghost, even if it died, should die with dignity. Being destroyed by a Celestial Master putting his dedicated efforts into an array was already better than being treated like barbecue.
Ning Tiance was even more surprised when Shen Jianguo took a human-skinned notebook out of his bag. The dark energy of this notebook was familiar; it was just the same as the dark energy in the second bedroom of 404.
Now, of course, it was also about to be barbecued.
And a notebook was harder to use to block the sun than a bedplate. In Ning Tiance's third eye, a man in a Zhongshan suit appeared crouched under the notebook, using its pathetic shadow to block his form from the sun. The arm exposed to the sun was gradually becoming transparent, and at the same time the notebook emitted a clear, fresh smell.
This fierce ghost with at least a hundred years of skills was exceedingly pitiful. Ning Tiance didn't know who to sympathize with right now. Sympathize with Teacher Shen for spending the night in a morgue in the company of a fierce ghost? Sympathize with himself for running over thirty kilometers between two and six in the morning because he was worried? Or sympathize with the fierce ghosts looking at him pathetically under the sun?
Curiously, he asked Teacher Shen about his teaching experience the night before. The more he listened, the more petrified he became. That ghost growing insects in his own body — the insects were recorded in Moashan's ancient books. They were called corpse blood insects. If an ordinary person was bitten by them, he would get corpse poisoning, and his body would die within an hour. His corpse and soul would be enslaved to the master of the corpse blood insects, never to be reborn again.
Oh, Teacher Shen said he had used the notebook to crush the corpse blood insects.
Looking at the blood-stained Republican era fierce ghost under the notebook, Ning Tiance felt inexplicably sorry for him. This was such a strong fierce ghost, with the power to kill corpse blood insects with his own body, but he had come to such a sorry end — sat on like a cushion, dried out in the sun.
There were also the students in the class who weren't afraid of the corpse blood insects, and whose strength must be on a level with this Tian Bowen. More than twenty fierce ghosts — just what was so holy about Shen Jianguo?
Harboring such questions, Ning Tiance did not refuse when Teacher Shen invited him back to 404 to rest. Although it was a murderous place, curiously, Ning Tiance wasn't afraid now.
And from some psychological impulse, Ning Tiance advised Teacher Shen not to put the notebook and the bedplate in the sun, casually saving the lives of the two fierce ghosts. The Republican era ghost even cupped his hand in gratitude towards Ning Tiance, looking comical.
As a disciple of the Maoshan Sect, he should be unable to coexist with fierce ghosts. He should eliminate these harmful things as soon as he saw them. But Ning Tiance felt that if the fierce ghosts who had troubled him for many years were rubbed out in such an undignified way, it would be wronging the hard-working Maoshan disciples.
Ning Tiance stayed a while at 404 and found that the dark energy in the apartment was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. There were also two ghosts missing. There remained only the human skin notebook, which Teacher Shen was flipping through. At that moment, Ning Tiance became fully aware that the master who had stolen his graduation assignment was Teacher Shen, with his buzzcut and his not unhandsome face full of righteousness.
He wasn't a cultivator, and he didn't believe in ghosts. His heart and mind were fully devoted to his ghost students. He even wanted to find a psychiatrist for the Bedplate Ghost.
His motives were purely good and upright. It made a person not know whether to laugh or cry, but at the same time feel some admiration.
After leaving 404, Ning Tiance wouldn't help contacting Manager Xia, whom he had dealt with before, wanting to learn something of Teacher Shen’s past experiences.
He'd thought that Teacher Shen had only developed such powers after accidentally coming upon Principal Zhang's job posting. Only on hearing Xia Jin's descriptions did Ning Tiance discover that during his school days, Shen Jianguo had already forced an unknown number of fierce ghosts to transcend of their own volition, yet he knew nothing about it.
Ning Tiance, silently pitying the ghosts, inquired in detail about Teacher Shen’s past. Over the phone, Manage Xia chuckled and said, "Seems that this time that silly boy Shen Jianguo isn't in unrequited love. When I found out he had fallen for Ning-tianshi, I was a little worried he was in for another disaster. But if this crush is mutual, then I can relax and count it as someone coming along to clear away a threat. You don't know how many of the girls at our school had crushes on Shen Jianguo. My girlfriend still scolds me every day, saying it would be better if I was half as considerate as Shen Jianguo."
Manager Xia said many things, but Ning Tiance didn't hear any of them clearly. As soon as he thought the words "he had fallen for Ning-tianshi,” the inside of his head started to roar, and he couldn't hear the other’s voice.
Teacher Shen was attracted to men, and moreover was interested in him!
This news seemed more shocking than Teacher Shen's bare-handedly abusing ghosts.
Lying in bed, Ning Tiance couldn't get to sleep for a long time. After last night's running along the highway he should clearly be exhausted, but he just couldn't sleep. He picked up his phone and scrolled through Teacher Shen's friends circle, tossing and turning, his mind in confusion.
Then Teacher Shen sent a message, saying that the Bedplate Ghost was self-injuring and had burned himself and the Human Skin Notebook Ghost. The Notebook Ghost was just counseling the Bedplate Ghost. Teacher Shen was very worried and didn't know what to do; he was a little frustrated.
It was a good thing that the Bedplate Ghost had been able to concoct lies to trick Teacher Shen, fearing that if Teacher Shen discovered that he was a ghost, his treatment would be even more cruel. Ning Tiance thought back to the young ghost he had seen during the day. His obsession seemed to have been physically yanked out of him. He wasn't far from transcending now. So he advised Teacher Shen to let things take their own course, let the two ghosts console each other.
As expected, Teacher Shen's mood improved. He had a simple character, that was clear at a glance. He quickly put this matter aside and said he wanted to buy insecticide to teach his student not to play with insects.
While admiring Teacher Shen's mental circuitry, Ning Tiance couldn't avoid raising the corners of his lips. He eagerly arranged to meet Teacher Shen the next day to go buy basic necessities. He wanted to see how Teacher Shen would deal with the corpse blood insects that had given the Maoshan Sect such a headache.
After arranging the time, Ning Tiance was in extremely high spirits. He found that after all he was only a young man just past twenty, and he was very much looking forward to some things that were outside of his experience.
At that moment his head was full of insecticide and dispelling ghosts. He had actually forgotten the fact that Teacher Shen liked him, that the two of them going out like this could count as a date. He also forgot his earlier insomnia. Hugging his phone, he fell deeply asleep and dreamed all night about punching ghosts along with Teacher Shen.
When he woke up, he was smiling. He couldn't remember the details of his dream, only dimly knew that it had been a wonderful dream.
His smile persisted until he met Teacher Shen, who called him handsome to his face. Then Ning Tiance remembered that Teacher Shen liked him and blushed slightly. He didn't know whether he should avoid Teacher Shen, or continue getting along with him in order to increase his skills.
Forget it, let nature take its course. Anyway, Teacher Shen's appearance was very fine. Ning Tiance didn't find spending time with Teacher Shen troublesome at all.
It was very easy to get along with Teacher Shen. Although he was stubborn, he wouldn't slander another's beliefs. He said that he didn't believe in ghosts, but he never tried to brainwash Ning Tiance by saying that the Maoshan Sect were con artists.
When Ning Tiance saw the insecticide, he suddenly recalled how afraid the Leg-sawing Ghost had been of blood, then put Teacher Shen's blood into the insecticide. That way it would be able to dispel ghosts and kill insects.
Going to class with Teacher Shen that night, Ning Tiance was nervous. This was the boldest thing he had done in his life, rushing unaided into a crowd of vicious ghosts, not knowing whether he would escape with his life.
Teacher Shen didn't get off the ghost bus alone. There was also the Notebook Ghost, and a living corpse.
The Notebook Ghost was calling himself Teacher Liu. Seeing Ning Tiance, he first warmly thanked him for his help a few days ago, then signaled with his eyes for Ning Tiance not to worry; with him there, the fierce ghosts couldn't make any trouble.
Ning Tiance had never expected that there would come a day when he had to rely on the protection of a fierce ghost to make it out with his life. He felt a little frustrated. When he saw the living corpse Duan Youlian dripping corpse water, Ning Tiance's heart tightened.
After his brush with corpse water, Teacher Shen had actually been invaded by Yin energy, turning him white-lipped and cold-looking.
Ning Tiance wanted to beat his chest and attack with his protective golden jade, but the living corpse seemed to be even more pitiful. Her nails were all gone. Teacher Shen took out his rusty nail clippers and said he had cut the living corpse's nails for her.
Ning Tiance touched the nail clippers carrying Teacher Shen's warmth. He didn't know whether he should say Teacher Shen was careless or admire his bravery.
They went into the classroom building. Tian Bowen was in the hall. For the first time, Ning Tiance saw the legendary corpse blood insects. He felt incomparably nervous, knowing there would be a fierce battle today. But Teacher Shen took the lead, pulling the insecticide out of his bag and spraying it at the bugs. The corpse blood insects fell to the ground and died, while Tian Bowen's core was severely injured.
At that moment, Ning Tiance unexpectedly thought that it would be a good thing if Teacher Shen never knew there were ghosts. Then he could always bravely go straight ahead, protecting his students with no doubts.
Seeing that Teacher Shen looked anxious to get to class, Ning Tiance took over the insecticide, telling them to go to class. He would stay behind to deal with Tian Bowen.
This was probably the easiest time Ning Tiance had ever had dispelling a ghost. The insecticide was invincible. When the whole bottle had been used up, Tian Bowen knelt and begged for mercy. Ning Tiance easily arranged an array to transcend him.
Holding the insecticide, he suddenly felt that he was simply the fox borrowing the tiger's fierceness, relying on Teacher Shen's invincible righteousness to run roughshod through the world of evil spirits.
Was this Marxist principles at work? Should he start a political education class at the Maoshan Sect in the future?
After dispelling the ghost, Ning-tianshi was in a good mood. When he entered the classroom and saw a room full of fierce ghosts with towering resentment, he didn't feel a trace of fear.
The atmosphere in the classroom was a little strange. The red-clothed fierce ghost Mu Huaitong was looking unpleasantly at the living corpse Duan Youlian. These two ghosts were equal to each other in power and seemed ready to fight for first place. But why was Mu Huaitong's hair in a braid?
Ning Tiance, who had been dealing with female ghosts for many years, knew that the two hardest aspects of a female ghost to deal with were their nails and hair. There was poison in their nails, no weaker than in corpse blood insects. Their hair could be long or short, and either way the attack range when it was let loose was terrifying. A powerful fierce ghost could often defeat ten or more Maoshan disciples using only her hair.
But now Mu Huaitong's hair was braided, and Duan Youlian's nails had been cut off. This must all be Teacher Shen's masterpiece.
At some point Teacher Shen had gotten coke all over him. His stiff buzzcut had fallen flat. Ning Tiance couldn't stand to look at Shen Jianguo in such a state. To him, Teacher Shen should look like an ardent teacher, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his gaze scorching. He shouldn't stand at the lectern covered in sticky coke.
He took out a napkin to wipe it off for Teacher Shen. Ning Tiance wanted to take him away to clean up; what lessons could you teach a group of fierce ghosts? However well Teacher Shen spoke, it was still playing the lute to a cow.
But Teacher Shen attached great importance to his class. After just a little wiping, he rushed off to deliver his lecture. Ning Tiance could only sit in the corner of the classroom and listen.
Unexpectedly, Teacher Shen's lecture was fascinating: how to establish a correct world view. Ning Tiance found that he had never systematically considered this subject. He took keeping the right and eliminating evil as his duty. A human must be saved, a ghost must be eliminated. Now, spurred on by Teacher Shen's lecture, he gained a vague acquaintance with the world.
Carefully writing down the books Teacher Shen recommended, he looked at the fierce ghosts whose expressions showed they wanted to stop being dead and be reborn. Ning Tiance smiled furtively and invited Teacher Shen back to his hotel.
He was still worried about the Yin energy on Teacher Shen, wanting to cleanse it for him.
Teacher Shen really must have liked him. He happily nodded and agreed, then kept stealthily glancing at him. Ning Tiance felt happy. He didn't find Teacher Shen's liking troublesome at all.
If what came next hadn't happened, he and Teacher Shen might have gone a layer deeper in their conversation and improved their understanding of each other, letting their feelings develop naturally.
But Teacher Shen changed all his cleansing talismans into exorcism talismans.
This made Ning Tiance uneasy. He immediately put away the exorcism talismans and wrote a letter to his sect leader. He couldn't handle such important matters on his own.
Teacher Shen recited Marxist principles and fell asleep beside Ning Tiance. Ning Tiance picked him up and carried him to the guest room to sleep. Before leaving, he looked deeply into Teacher Shen's entirely unguarded sleeping face.
Could Teacher Shen really like him when he’d shared a room with him so calmly?
