“They really said that?” Le Feishan asked Wang Hao. Wang Hao had video called the General as soon as night fell. Le Feishan thought there would be some good news. He never imagined that Le Yao could see the undead and would actually eat with them!

“Absolutely.” Wang Hao asked, “Do you think we should stay here?”

“Of course.” Le Feishan frowned, “Go see what tricks they are going to pull. Once you find any abnormalities, tell Xu Yao that you want to bring Le Yao back to Xingdu for an examination because he is in a bad physical and mental state. If Xu Yao disagrees, let him contact me.”

“What if what they are saying is true?”

“What nonsense! What do they want to eat when most of the party members are dead?” He added, “Most likely, Xu Yao is trying to set us up. You, keep your mind clear!” Le Feishan was speechless after Wang Hao’s report. He had heard his superior say that Le Yao had special abilities, like some kind of power that could master the darkness. He had thought that Le Yao may have inadvertently known the secret of the heart of the sparrow since he was staying on Planet Huaxia. How could he have even thought it was something like this? You can’t see the undead, you only see nonsense!

“Alright, General.” Wang Hao cut off the communication and frowned.

When he came on this trip, Le Feishan hadn’t told him why he had wanted to take Le Yao away, but he knew that it was definitely not because he missed his son. He knew his boss too well. He was a man who emphasized benefits. It couldn’t be said that this person did not care about his child at all, but in the face of great profit, the child could sometimes be sacrificed.

What made him curious was whether Le Yao’s ’special ability’ had anything to do with Le Feishan sending him here.

But what special abilities did Le Yao have? He knew that before, Le Yao had the special ability to spend money and make trouble. Considering that he had been the one cleaning up Le Yao’s mess several times in the past few years, he still had a headache.

Le Yao also had a headache. He suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something important.

“What is it?” asked Xu Yao. He had already talked to the cafeteria staff. Tomorrow night, they would have an army dinner party for everyone, the living and the undead. According to the banquet arrangement, they would make another 14,000 small incense sticks.

“It’s clothes,” Le Yao patted the two sets of military uniforms that he didn’t even know when Xu Yao had custom ordered for him. “Although most people can’t see the undead brothers, I think they should still wear decent clothes. They have no physical body now, and there are many who have damaged spiritual bodies. Won’t they be very uncomfortable facing their former comrades-in-arms without any decent clothes?”

“It’s already been done,” said Xu Yao.

“Ah? Already been done?” Le Yao slightly whispered, “Did the upper levels agree?” Making uniforms for the undead army, there were at least tens of thousands of sets needed this time, which must’ve cost a lot of money. But after these clothes were made, they would be burned. Would the higher ups let Xu Yao spend their military expenses on such a thing?

“It was approved by Uncle Guan,” Xu Yao smiled dotingly. He liked Le Yao’s kindness and meticulousness very much.

“That’s great. I’ll try to print out all the dormitories tonight so that tomorrow night we can burn them along with their clothes,” Le Yao was sitting in Xu Yao’s study at the moment.

This morning, he had a meeting with Xu Yao in the Command Center, and he had come back home in the afternoon. Yan Jie and some of his staff had discussed with him the dormitories’ design and configuration of the undead army and so on, and they had just left not long ago.

With Leslie’s help, the dormitory was designed very fast, and Le Yao was preparing to print it out now.

They needed to print a total of 18 buildings. The buildings were blue and nine stories high, with six units in each building. Each floor held mostly four dormitories, and a few had two. The dormitory was divided into single rooms, double rooms and quadruple rooms. The single and double rooms were for the officers, and the quadruple rooms were for ordinary soldiers.

Since the dead didn’t need to wash or go to the toilet, there were no toilets in any of the dormitories. In all other aspects, it was exactly the same as the actual dormitories. There were beds, wardrobes, desks, bookshelves, pillows and quilts.

Listening to the printer work, Le Yao pondered that since he would finish the infrastructure construction later, he also had to find a way to apply for some books for the dead soldiers. He suddenly asked Xu Yao, “Husband, can I ask President Liu and Doctor Zhao if they want to learn xuanshu?”

“Of course, you are already relatively familiar with the people in the chat group now. You can directly ask them,” said Xu Yao.

Le Yao took quick actions, and since Xu Yao said yes, he asked in the group. He thought that he would get a slow response. He didn’t expect them to reply to his message in less than thirty seconds. President Liu and Dr. Zhao strongly demanded to learn! Yan Jie also asked if he could. And the Captain of the Logistics Team, who was obsessed with xuanshu itself, also said that he wanted to try.

In the end, Le Yao counted, and there were only five of them. But it was fine.

Han Mo was not in the group at the beginning, so he was added by Le Yao. When he heard that Le Yao would accept him as a student, he was really happy. People were innately greedy. He had always wanted to see Shen Weilin again after seeing him just once. But since he knew that it was not easy to make the Tianyan talisman, he couldn’t ask Le Yao for more. Now, as long as Le Yao was willing to teach him, he would devote all his fighting spirit into learning!

Quite a few people had made up their minds to learn xuanshu. When Le Yao put aside his communication device, the first small paper dormitory had been successfully printed out. Because the design had many fine and intricate details, the printer worked slowly, but tossing that matter aside, the end result was really too cute!

Xu Yao discovered that his little wife was really stingy. In order to save some resources for him, the paper dormitory had been printed very small, and could be held up with one hand. He couldn’t see how this small building was cute, in reality, his little wife was the one who was really cute, causing people like him, who had gone through the killing field, to become particularly soft-hearted.

This new soft-hearted husband fortunately didn’t toss around with Le Yao for the night, so Le Yao could calmly think of what he wanted to teach in his first lesson. He thought about the study materials until his eyelids felt heavy, so he closed his eyes and slept until morning.

When he woke up, the first thing he did was to run to see the printed dormitory buildings, and then write the size on them. After he finished writing the size on all of them, he took a quick bath and changed into a clean military uniform. A sense of going on a mission had sprung up!

Yan Jie was quick at handling affairs. At night, after they had agreed, he had found a suitable place to turn into a classroom and had tidied it up. The classroom was about 30 meters away from Xu Yao’s office on the same floor. It was about sixty square meters. Originally, it had been used as a storeroom. Yan Jie let people clean up this storeroom and put tables and chairs, as well as a smart whiteboard in it.

After breakfast, Le Yao stood in the front of the classroom, having arrived on time. He saw five upright students, all older than himself, and felt a little nervous. However, he had always studied xuanshu well and was quite confident in his knowledge. Of course, confidence alone was not enough.

“Everyone is an acquaintance. So, I’ll tell you the truth.” Standing in front of the smart whiteboard, Le Yao said, “Xuanshu itself is knowledge that is very mysterious. Some people can quickly understand its profound meaning, and some people may learn it for a lifetime without having any revelations. So, I hope that before you understand xuanshu, you can ask yourself the question: ’Why do I want to learn xuanshu?’ Don’t rush to answer me. Let’s not be too stiff, just think about it as if you’re chatting with friends. Let’s try to lighten up the atmosphere, don’t be nervous.”

“I want to learn xuanshu in order to provide more comprehensive medical treatment and assistance to patients,” said President Liu.

“I’m just like the President.” Dr. Zhao said, “I was one of the closest people to see Lieutenant General Tang get better, with rapid improvement, from an abnormal illness, so I’m really curious about this xuanshu, and I hope to learn it well and use it in the right place.”

“I’m the Logistics Team’s Captain. If I learned xuanshu, I’ll be able to maintain good contact with the undead brothers in the future.” He added, “I don’t really understand it. I just feel this way for the time being.”

“One is never too old to learn something new,” replied Yan Jie.

“I...” Han Mo began hesitantly, “I want to meet someone.”

“Okay, I understand everyone’s thoughts.” Le Yao added, “In fact, what I want to say is that you must not have evil thoughts, a negative attitude and delusions when learning xuanshu. We should learn to conform to nature and revere life. Of course, it doesn’t mean that we can’t fight back when we are beaten, but you must have kindness in your heart. We have entered a period of peace which is without war. I think it should not be difficult to do that.”

“Can we eat meat?” Yan Jie asked, “I have read a few ancient books which stated that some people in former Huaxia believed in various religions at that time, that is to say, some which required its believers to be in awe of life, and then not to kill or eat meat. Also to quit drinking, smoking or something.”

“It can be eaten,” Le Yao continued, “But it is better not to eat. It’s... one’s own choice, not being too particular about eating and drinking. You have to only pay attention on special occasions to not kill and... well... during one special occasion, you can’t have sexual intercourse.” It’s so embarrassing to talk about this!

“What is this special occasion?” asked President Liu.

“It is when we want to carry out spirit transcendence, or some other rituals, such as summoning souls and offering sacrifices to the Heavens.”

“How long will it take us to learn how to draw the Tianyan talisman?” asked Yan Jie.

“Well, maybe you can learn it in ten days or half a month, or maybe you won’t be able to learn it in a lifetime. Tonight, we will be having a dinner with the whole army, and I will let you see our undead brothers. I still have two Tianyan talismans in my hand, and I will draw three more in the afternoon so you can observe the process. Besides, what I’m going to teach in the next lesson will also be related to this symbol. As it’s important, I hope everyone pays attention to it.”

“There are three key points to pay attention to in today’s lesson. First of all, I will tell you what are the materials needed, what the principle behind the talisman is, and how it is used so as to exert its power. Then I will talk about the eight characters of birth and the method for arranging them, because this is a basic skill in xuanshu.”

At first, Yan Jie listened attentively. When he heard the words ’eight character arrangement’, he immediately straightened his head and gave his full attention. The others had not come into touch with these things as deeply as he had, but they were quite curious.

As a result, when Le Yao ’drew’ the eight-character layout using Leslie’s virtual map projection ability, the students present were blinded.

This... is... What is this, ah!

Most of them hadn’t learnt ancient Chinese characters and felt dizzy just by looking at it.

Only Han Mo, after watching Le Yao ’paint’, took a picture of it, and began to ponder over it.

“Yan Jie has designed a program for intelligently measuring the eight characters of birth for us, but I have drawn this, and I hope everyone can remember it, because any situation can occur. What if we need to use the eight characters but there is no such program available at that time?” asked Le Yao. “So, take a picture first, and learn the pattern when you have time. Let us use the program for the time being, but I will still take a test on this later. Alright, let’s continue to talk about the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches... “

All of the study materials were photographed and studied very carefully by the five diligent students.

Le Yao found that his students were much more reliable than he used to be, and he had been more reliable than his Master. When he was learning, his Master had given him a bunch of scriptures and runes, and told him to recite them all from memory alone. He had also said that if he could successfully recite them, he would learn how to invite the Gods. Anyway, everything would be useless if he couldn’t recite them at all.

It had been a difficult task...
