This Taoist Master is too Frivolous - Chapter 212

“Occult?”
Feng Zhaoqing couldn’t help but laugh, “Aren’t you Daoist practitioners considered as occult by ordinary people?”
Xu Yang didn’t make any promises.
However, Feng Zhaoqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They had already discussed this case in their team today, but they were clueless and had no idea where to start!
The methods of the “Skin-changing Ghost” were not particularly clever, and it left many traces and surveillance videos at the scene… If the culprit was a human, it wouldn’t be difficult to crack the case just with these things!
But the culprit was not a human!
And they could change faces at any moment!
Trying to find that “Skin-changing Ghost” based on these traces and surveillance videos was like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Xu Yang’s words raised hope in Feng’s heart; otherwise, if they let the “Skinchanging Ghost” continue, who knows how many innocent people would die. “Master Xu, do you need us from the Spirits Management Bureau to do something?”
Feng Zhaoqing asked.
Xu Yang shook his head, saying, “We’ll act separately. I’ll follow my own method, and you shouldn’t place all your hopes on me. What I’m doing is a crude method, and it’s not guaranteed to work!”
After separating from Feng Zhaoqing, Xu Yang didn’t go home; instead, he walked to the “Crescent Food Plaza” in Wu City, not far from Yellow River Bridge.
This “Crescent Food Plaza” belonged to the “New District” of Wu City. It was located on the west side of Wu City, close to the Yellow River. Many high-end residential areas had been developed nearby, including Xu Yang’s villa. According to the government’s plan, the New District was intended for major development, but the high-speed railway station was built in the eastern part of the city a few years ago, causing the land prices there to skyrocket.
There were only a few stalls in the Crescent Food Plaza. However, KTVs and barbecue bars were quite popular.
At this late hour, Xu Yang could clearly hear the wailing sounds coming from the bars.
Sitting in front of a barbecue bar, Xu Yang silently called Ma Long.
After a few rings, Ma Long picked up the phone, sounding a bit flustered, “Xu Yang, why are you calling… why didn’t you call earlier or later? You called just now when I was practicing Soul Departure. Your call startled me, and I almost couldn’t return my soul to my body!”
Xu Yang: “…”
Without waiting for Xu Yang to speak, Ma Long said, “No way, you have to treat me to a midnight snack to console my injured soul!”
Xu Yang: “???”
Damn!
I was just thinking that it might be hard to get you out this late, but since you said it yourself, I won’t be polite then.
So he said, “No problem… Let’s go to Crescent Food Plaza, and we’ll call when we get there.”
Ma Long arrived quickly.
He came by taxi, and as soon as he got out, he made a call.
Xu Yang hung up the phone and went to greet him, asking in surprise, “Why didn’t you drive?”
Ma Long laughed, “How can I drink if I drive?”
Xu Yang asked, “Can’t the female ghost I gave you drive?”
Ma Long shuddered at the thought of his first BMW, saying, “Forget it… let’s not let a ghost drive; I’m scared… Come on, there’s a club over there. The rooms inside are big, and the princesses are high quality. If you talk right, you can even take them out.”
Xu Yang firmly rejected the idea, saying he was going to get married soon and needed to take care of himself.
He pulled Ma Long into one of the barbecue bars at random. The bar was small, with four booths and two private rooms, all full of people. In addition, there were a few tables and chairs set up outside.
During the sweltering summer night, sitting outside and eating barbecue while drinking ice-cold beer with the breeze from the Yellow River blowing by was quite a special experience.
The two sat down outside, and Ma Long ordered a heap of food. He told the server, “Tell the barbecue chef to cook quickly, starting with the kidney… Oh, and, bring me a whole box of Xi Xia X5 beer, ice-cold… Xu Yang, do you think one box is enough?”
“Bring one box first, and we’ll see after we finish.”
Xu Yang echoed.
Soon after, the beer was served.
The server also brought a plate of edamame and a stack of sunflower seeds.
The two clinked glasses, and Xu Yang asked while cracking the seeds, “You said on the phone that I disturbed your cultivation, is everything okay?”
“No problem,”
Ma Long laughed, “It’s just the Shedding the Shell Realm, there cannot be any problem. Don’t forget, I’m a genius in cultivation… I feel like I’m making progress every day, and within a week, I might be able to break through to the Night Wandering Realm!”
“Not bad!”
“Keep up the good practice!”
Xu Yang was genuinely happy that his close friend was achieving success. In this way, he could activate his Extremely Yin Body sooner, making it easier to attract Yin spirits and malevolent beings.
Although Xu Yang had his “eyes closed”, he could clearly feel that the unique aura of the Extremely Yin Body on Ma Long was even stronger than before.
Perhaps this was the main reason Wang Defa entrusted Ma Long to Xu Yang before leaving.
If Yin spirits and malevolent beings were compared to flies, then Ma Long was hke a walking rotten egg, a pile of excrement that might attract a Yin ghost or evil spirit at any time to kill him!
The reason Xu Yang invited him out was precisely that he had this in mind.
The “Skin-changing Ghost” had just harmed someone under the Yellow River Bridge, and it was highly likely that it was nearby. Ma Long’s presence might “lure the snake out of its hole”.
However…
Ma Long might have to suffer a bit for this.
Presumably…
He can understand me!
With that thought, Xu Yang sighed and said earnestly, “Ma Long, from now on, no matter what I do… you should know that my starting point will always be good, and I will never harm you!”
111 drink this bottle of beer; you drink at your leisure!”
Ma Long’s eyes welled up with emotion. He immediately raised a bottle of beer and twisted it open as well!
Bang!
He slammed the empty beer bottle on the table and said, “Good brother, why say such outsider words with our relationship? Rest assured, even if you hold me down and beat me today, I won’t frown.”
As the two drank and ate barbecue…
Before long, they had finished two cases of beer. Ma Long got up and wearily said, “Waiter, more alcohol… Oh, by the way, do you have a bathroom?”
“My apologies, big brother, our restroom’s plumbing is broken… How about you head across the street?”
The waiter pointed to the opposite side of the street.
Right across the street was the “Wu City Science and Technology Museum.” Beside the museum was a park, and between the park and the museum was a strip of greenery.
There were few people around at night, and it was already 2 am. Ma Long needed to urinate desperately and didn’t care where. He hurried across the street.
Xu Yang saw him staggering and was afraid he’d get into an accident. He grabbed Ma Long and took him across the street to the green strip, where he too relieved himself.
Ma Long clutched his stomach and said, “Oh, I can’t… Xu Yang, wait a moment, my stomach hurts a bit. I need to take a dump!”
He ran a few steps into the green strip and squatted under a weeping willow tree.
After easing the pressure, Ma Long felt much more comfortable. He took out his Chinese cigarettes, lit one, and looked up… Under the moonlight, he saw someone squatting under another willow tree, looking at him.
Despite his drunken stupor, Ma Long wasn’t embarrassed. He laughed, “Bro, you here to take a dump too?”
The man didn’t speak.
Ma Long continued, “Huh? You’re taking a dump without pulling down your pants?… Brother, it seems like we’re fated to meet. What’s your name? Want a cigarette?”
Still silent, the man kept staring at Ma Long.
“Alright then, we’ll each get on our own!”
Feeling a bit uncomfortable by the stare, Ma Long tiptoed to the side, turning his back to the man, and exposed his buttocks.
Under the moonlight and the streetlights, Ma Long’s shadow stretched out, his big round buttocks gleaming.
The person behind him, however, cast no shadow.
He slowly stood up, a strange light flashed in his eyes as he extended his hands, each fingernail over a few inches long, emitting a cold light, terrifying to behold!
He took a step forward.
But…
He stopped and stepped back.
After all, there was excrement in front of him.
Disgusting.
This one step, however, startled Ma Long. He glanced back casually and asked, “What’s up?”
Huh?
Ma Long abruptly turned around and saw the “man” with his long, cold, gleaming fingernails and bloodthirsty eyes.
His face was peeling off, revealing a featureless, bloody face beneath the shedding skin, like a snake shedding its skin!
A face-peeling ghost!
While tearing at his own face, the ghost sneered, “Your face… is quite nice, how about lending it to me?”
As he spoke, a burst of bloodthirst filled the ghost’s eyes!
This was a unique skill of the “Face-peeling Ghost.” Anyone who looked into its blood-red eyes would soon be trapped in a bizarre illusion, where they’d see a myriad of wonderful things in their life…
Until their face is peeled off, their soul would scatter amidst the beauty!
Ma Long felt his scalp tingle, a chill running from his feet to his head, and screamed-
“Ghost!!!”
“There’s a ghost!”
“Xu Yang, save me!!!”
Not even caring about his pants anymore, Ma Long ran off.
Behind him.
The shedding face of the “Face-peeling Ghost” showed blood-red eyes that gradually faded. He opened his mouth and seemed momentarily confused. Why was his skill ineffective on this person?
With his temperament, encountering this situation, he would certainly turn around and leave… Only by doing so could he preserve his life before he finished growing!
However, Ma Long was too tempting!
Yes!
Tempting!
Or, you could say, ghostly enticing.
Although the Face-peeling Ghost didn’t know what an “Extremely Yin Body” was, he had a vague intuition… As long as he could cut off the man’s face and wear it on his own, he would gain enormous benefits!
So he chased after him.
Because he didn’t pull up his pants, Ma Long tripped and fell within ten meters.
He crawled forward, his desire to survive growing stronger.
As he crawled, he yelled, “Xu Yang, save me!”
The Face-peeling Ghost swooped down behind Ma Long and cackled coldly, “We were fated to meet, why the hurry to leave… Just lend me your face, and I’ll let you experience the most wonderful feeling in the world… Huh?”
Mid-sentence, he suddenly raised his head and saw something black and indescribable rushing toward him at incredible speed. He felt a pain in his chest…
Suddenly!
Bang!
His entire body was smashed into pieces
Ahead.
A cigarette in his mouth, a man walked out from behind the greenery. He reached out, grabbed the big iron hammer that had landed nearby, and crushed it in his hand.
In his left hand: the Thousand-year-old Thunderstruck Peachwood Sword. In his right hand: the 1280 kg top-grade Daoist artifact “Big Iron Hammer,” made from black flame stone. Closing his eyes and “looking” into the darkness, he saw the scattered Yin energy quickly condense and return to the shape of the “Face-peeling Ghost.”
Xu Yang smiled faintly, “Not bad, not bad, it seems my supernatural ghostcatching methods really do work!”
