Meanwhile.
While Xiao Pei and Wan Ling were talking.
At Lusha University, in Zhang Wei's classroom.
At this moment.
Zhang Wei was listening to class, secretly using his phone to browse the Weidao Division forum.
Clicking into the forum.
Zhang Wei habitually browsed the main forum page of the Weidao Division, wanting to see if anything had happened recently.
The first post he saw on the forum made Zhang Wei freeze.
[Special Column: Zhang Wei, One of the Top Ten Rising Stars, I'm Crying My Eyes Out!]
Looking at this post.
Zhang Wei: "????"
I can understand hyping me up, but what the heck is "crying my eyes out"?
As he pondered.
Zhang Wei glanced at the poster of the thread, and was immediately stunned. The poster was none other than Xiao Xuan, the publisher of the Rising Stars list.
Out of curiosity.
Zhang Wei clicked on the post to read it.
The post was an introduction to Zhang Wei by Xiao Xuan. Xiao Xuan had specifically created this post to introduce Zhang Wei in detail. The reason was written in the post: he knew that Zhang Wei had recently saved Old Master Qiu.
[So touching, Zhang Wei, to save Old Master Qiu, didn't hesitate to snatch life from heaven. Fellow brothers and sisters, you don't know, when Xiao Xuan learned about this, he cried his eyes out! Moved! This is our Great Xia ghost exorcists, for the heroes of Great Xia, going through fire and water!
Knowing this, I feel that Zhang Wei's actions should not be buried, but should be celebrated and learned from. That's why I specifically opened this post. It shouldn't just be me crying my eyes out, I want everyone to cry their eyes out together, so that everyone knows how good Zhang Wei is. This is the kind of ghost exorcist our Great Xia should have!]
Zhang Wei scrolled down the post to read the comments.
The next second, he was torn between laughter and tears.
It could be seen.
Many comments in the post were wildly praising Zhang Wei for saving Old Master Qiu. Some older ghost exorcists even topped the thread, stating that he was a role model for the younger generation of ghost exorcists and that they should learn from him.
Some older ghost exorcists also expressed that Zhang Wei's fearless spirit made them ashamed, and that his act of snatching people from heaven was admirable, and that they should respectfully call Zhang Wei "Sir," and so on.
Although there were also many envious and jealous comments about Zhang Wei in the comments.
Zhang Wei saw that.
These comments were quickly buried under hundreds of replies.
Looking at the comments on the post, even Zhang Wei, with his thick skin, blushed:
"Damn, this Xiao Xuan is hyping me up too much."
Li Junfei, who was beside him, also read the comments and said with a smile:
"Haha, Brother Wei, this Xiao Xuan is something. I feel like you're highly valued by Xiao Xuan. He's almost deifying you."
Zhang Wei gave Li Junfei the middle finger.
After glancing at the post a few more times, he didn't pay much attention to it. He clicked to close the post and was about to check the trading area.
However, just as he closed the post and returned to the forum's homepage.
Huh?
Zhang Wei's eyebrows twitched.
A pinned post title caught his attention.
It was a post that had been published not long ago, around the time he was looking at Xiao Xuan's post.
[Major News! Master Kong Jing, the Buddhist Head of Mount Wutai, could not withstand his limit and passed away at Mount Wutai this morning.]
Mount Wutai.
That was Wu Nian's sect, wasn't it?
Although he didn't know Master Kong Jing, Zhang Wei knew what 'Buddhist Head' represented.
Buddhist Head, as the name suggests, was the head of Buddhism, the highest title in the Buddhist lineage, representing the strongest existence in the Buddhist lineage.
And.
This Buddhist lineage did not just refer to one Buddhist sect, but... all Buddhist lineages.
And clearly.
Master Kong Jing being called the Buddhist Head, his identity was already clear: he was the contemporary head of the Buddhist lineage.
Buddhism, as one of the top lineages in Great Xia, held a pivotal position in Great Xia. The passing of its Buddhist Head was enough to be a major event, a huge shock to the entire ghost exorcism world! It was definitely comparable to the fall of a True Dragon Guard!
No.
Perhaps even...
Master Kong Jing, the Buddhist Head, was a True Dragon Guard.
How could someone who became the Buddhist Head in Buddhism be weak? It was precisely for this reason that since the establishment of the Weidao Division, almost every Buddhist Head had occupied a seat among the True Dragon Guards.
"No matter how strong a person is, they can't overcome time in the end."
Zhang Wei clicked on the post and read it.
As expected.
The post stated that Master Kong Jing was indeed the contemporary Buddhist Head, and also one of the current twenty-three True Dragon Guards. Today, his limit arrived, and he could not overcome it, passing away at the summit of Mount Wutai.
"I wonder how Wu Nian is doing. Master Kong Jing was a high monk of Mount Wutai. His passing must be a significant blow to Mount Wutai."
Zhang Wei muttered.
Afterwards.
As the class bell rang, Zhang Wei picked up his phone to call Wu Nian.
However, just as he was about to make the call.
Zhang Wei received a WeChat call, it was from Xiao Pei, the female companion.
Answering the call.
Soon.
Zhang Wei learned from Xiao Pei about Wan Ling's ghost haunting incident.
Xiao Pei said:
"Di... Brother Wei, I saw Wan Ling's video. The ghost appeared when she was covering Yu Yu with a blanket. Could the ghost be related to Yu Yu? Will Yu Yu be alright? Wan Ling has a protective amulet, but Yu Yu doesn't."
Zhang Wei nodded:
"It's possible it's related. Yu Yu will be fine, he has my transformation device."
After the incident with Si Si, Zhang Wei had thought that the ghost on Yu Yu was caused by Si Si's husband. After all, Si Si's husband had also attacked his own child. However, just in case, he had not withdrawn the system points for the Ultraman transformation device, to prevent any accidents with Yu Yu.
Thinking that Yu Yu was being haunted by a ghost, and Zhang Wei was unsure if the ghost Wan Ling encountered was the same one, Zhang Wei decided to go and check the situation later.
After hanging up the phone.
Zhang Wei didn't rest. He went to the counselor again to ask for leave for the afternoon class.
He called Wu Nian.
Unfortunately, there was no answer.
He figured Wu Nian must be busy with Master Kong Jing's affairs, after all, he was a young high monk of Mount Wutai.
Thinking this.
Zhang Wei called Zhang Chao. The call was connected after a while.
Zhang Wei spoke directly:
"Zhang Chao, is Wu Nian with you? I called him earlier but couldn't get through."
"Wu Nian is not with me, he's gone back to Mount Wutai."
Zhang Chao paused and continued:
"Actually, I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect you to call first, Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei, Master Kong Jing of Mount Wutai, where Wu Nian is from, has passed away. Do you know Master Kong Jing? He..."
Zhang Wei interrupted him:
"I know, I called to find Wu Nian because I heard about the passing of Master Kong Jing, the Buddhist Head. I couldn't get through."
"It's normal that you couldn't get through. Wu Nian returned to Mount Wutai yesterday because of Master Kong Jing's matter. Now he's probably busy with Master Kong Jing's affairs with other high monks of Mount Wutai."
Zhang Chao added:
"He was a True Dragon Guard, you know. Now that he's passed away, the Weidao Division will be busy. They need to replenish the vacant position of True Dragon Guard as soon as possible, because my sister said that there must be twenty-three True Dragon Guards in charge."
"By the way, Zhang Wei, Wu Nian has gone to Mount Wutai to handle Master Kong Jing's affairs and probably won't be back anytime soon."
"And then, personnel from my Weidao Division have been dispatched to support the Northeast. I'll probably have to handle supernatural events alone for a while. It's so dangerous, can you bear to see your brother with the same surname suffer?"
"So, hehe, Zhang Wei, how about you come and be my temporary partner? I'll treat you to Sichuan cuisine."
