Zhang Lei paused and muttered, "Stress-relief talisman?"
As he spoke, he curiously glanced at the talisman in Liu Peng's hand.
"This season's flying guests are interesting, and one is from Taoism."
"Right, Teacher Zhang, her name is Zhao Yan."
At this moment, Zhao Yan walked into the house.
Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Hello."
Zhao Yan replied, "Hello, Teacher Zhang."
After shaking hands with Zhang Lei, Zhao Yan handed over the gift.
"Teacher Zhang, this is a stress-relief talisman."
"Thank you," Zhang Lei said, taking it and smiling, "A very special gift."
Zhao Yan smiled and put her suitcase down.
Liu Peng said, "Sister Zhao, shall I show you around?"
Zhao Yan hummed in agreement and followed Liu Peng.
Liu Peng enthusiastically introduced Zhao Yan to the situation in the house.
After this tour, Zhao Yan had a basic understanding.
However, as she looked further, her brow furrowed.
The feng shui of this house was not good.
The left side was dark, the right side lacked sunlight.
Except for the bright courtyard, the other rooms were generally too dim.
From left to right, the feng shui layout was incorrect, and upon entering the house, there was a sense of coldness.
"Pengpeng, do your feet feel cold when you sleep at night?" Zhao Yan asked.
Liu Peng, who was introducing the room to Zhao Yan, heard her words, turned back, and nodded, "Sister Zhao, how did you know?"
"I've been staying here for several days and my feet have felt cold. I bought a heat pack and put it under the bed, but it's still cold. I don't know why."
Zhao Yan said, "The feng shui is incorrect, the yin energy is transmitted from the earth. When you sleep tonight, you must sleep horizontally. In any case, don't sleep in the same position as before, otherwise, the yin energy will enter through your feet, and you will get sick."
Liu Peng was silent for a moment, "I understand, Sister Zhao."
"Mm."
After Zhao Yan had toured the entire house, she went downstairs.
She said to Zhang Lei, who was busy with the cooking, "Teacher Zhang, please arrange what I should do next."
Zhang Lei said, "Little Zhao is quite familiar with our procedures."
As he spoke, he looked outside.
After looking around, he pointed to the firewood outside, "It's still too early, and there's nothing else to do for now. Why don't you go chop some firewood with Pengpeng?"
Liu Peng said with a wry smile, "Teacher Zhang, Sister Zhao is a girl. Isn't it inappropriate for you to ask her to chop firewood? I'll chop the firewood. Just stack the firewood I chop."
Zhang Lei was about to agree when Zhao Yan said, "Okay, I'll chop firewood."
When she lived in a Taoist temple on the mountain as a child, she had chopped all sorts of firewood.
She picked up the axe and swung it down, splitting the log instantly into two, cutting it neatly.
Zhang Lei laughed, "Pengpeng, you don't have as much strength as Little Zhao."
Liu Peng glanced and said, "Teacher Zhang, Sister Zhao's chopped firewood is neat."
Chopping firewood quickly turned into a firewood-chopping game between Liu Peng and Zhao Yan, seeing who could chop more firewood.
He Jing returned with Mu Jun after buying groceries and was stunned by the pile of firewood in front of them.
"Teacher Zhang, is this our flying guest?" He Jing said after returning to the house.
Zhang Lei nodded, "Yes, didn't I say before? This episode's flying guest is not from the industry, but from outside."
"Look, she even gave me a gift."
He Jing took Zhang Lei's box and opened it, revealing a yellow talisman.
"What is this?"
"Little Zhao said it's a stress-relief talisman. It's probably a type of Taoist talisman."
"That's really special."
As he spoke, He Jing walked towards the outside.
"Thank you for your hard work, Little Zhao. You're so diligent."
"Wow, what a huge pile of firewood! When we went to buy groceries, there was only a little bit of firewood. Now there's so much."
Liu Peng, who had been competing with Zhao Yan in chopping firewood, was exhausted. Looking at the full pile of firewood, he was shocked.
When chopping firewood with Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan's speed was five times his.
He only chopped a small pile in front of him; the rest was chopped by Zhao Yan.
Most importantly, he felt like he was about to collapse, while Zhao Yan showed no signs of fatigue, which was terrifying.
Zhao Yan chopped the last log, put down the axe, and was about to say something when she suddenly looked at He Jing's forehead.
There was some black mist on He Jing's forehead. Ordinary people couldn't see this black mist, but Zhao Yan could see it clearly.
Seeing this black mist, it was caused by yin energy entering the body.
She didn't say anything, as it didn't seem appropriate to say, "Your forehead is surrounded by yin energy," upon first meeting someone.
"Hello, Teacher He," Zhao Yan said, shaking hands with He Jing.
As she spoke, she took out the prepared box and handed it to He Jing.
"This is a small gift from me."
He Jing said, "Thank you, this pattern is very special."
Then, she gave a gift to Mu Jun as well.
Mu Jun, who was skilled at playing the violin, stood beside He Jing and said to Zhao Yan, "What about me, what about me!"
Zhao Yan handed over a small box and said, "This is for you."
"Thank you!" Mu Jun took it and asked eagerly, "Can I open it now? Just this one!"
Fearing his Mandarin was not standard, he pointed to the box.
Zhao Yan replied, "Yes."
Mu Jun opened the box, revealing a talisman inside, and asked, "Is this a talisman?"
Zhao Yan nodded.
He immediately asked, "Can it be used to fight zombies, like in the movies, where if you tap a zombie with a talisman, it gets frozen?"
Zhao Yan explained, "This is a stress-relief talisman. For fighting zombies, it's a different kind of talisman. This talisman, when worn, can reduce a certain amount of pressure."
Mu Jun nodded and said, "Oh, that's amazing."
"Alright, don't bother Little Zhao too much. Little Zhao has chopped so much firewood, let's let her rest."
Zhao Yan waved her hand and said it was fine.
She had chopped much more firewood as a child.
Since there was nothing else to do, Zhao Yan went to help Zhang Lei.
"Almost done, no need to help," Zhang Lei said.
As he spoke, Zhang Lei took out a small bowl containing meat.
"Little Zhao, come and see how this meat is prepared. There's really no fat."
Zhao Yan looked over and gave a thumbs-up, "Amazing, Teacher Zhang."
"Next, I'll make you minced meat eggplant."
"If it's not made well, don't hit me like Lu Zhishen hitting Zhen Guanxi."
Zhao Yan had chopped so much firewood without even a moment to catch her breath. If she were hit with a punch, her body wouldn't be able to withstand it.
He Jing was amused, "Alright, Teacher Zhang, Little Zhao looks like a gentle girl. How could she hit someone?"
Zhao Yan took out a talisman and handed it to He Jing, "Teacher He, please wear this talisman when you sleep tonight. This is an amulet for warding off evil, and it's useful."
Zhang Lei paused his spatula, "Amulet for warding off evil? Little Zhao, you're not going to say this house has ghosts, are you?"
