This Taoist Master is too Frivolous - Chapter 277
Chapter 277: Chapter 200: Master, it’s bad! The young lady has been detained!
“Meow!!!”
The fur on the little orange cat’s tail stood on end as it arched its tail, retreated, and looked at Xu Yang with a crying voice, “Master Xu, don’t do this…” “Ding!”
“The feline spirit was frightened, merit points +100, agility +1.”
“Ding!”
“The feline spirit was frightened, merit points +100, agility +1.”
“Ding…”
Five consecutive system prompts sounded, and as Xu Yang watched the not- so-many merit points gradually increase, he became even more excited. He took out a lollipop from his pocket, stepped forward, and leaned down, “Don’t be afraid, little kitty. Brother will give you a lollipop.”
Little orange cat: “…”
I’m a little kitty that eats fish snacks, what the hell is a lollipop?
“Meow!”
With a piercing scream, the little orange cat was so scared that its legs trembled, and it darted under the sofa.
“Ding!”
“The feline spirit was frightened, merit points +100, agility +1.”
“Such a fast speed!”
Looking at the afterimage of the little orange cat darting under the sofa in an instant, Xu Yang couldn’t help but marvel… No wonder he could gain “agility” attribute from it. With its speed, it was much faster than him!
The only weakness of Xu Yang now is his speed!
At least his speed is far inferior to his physical defense, Daoist skills, and Daoist talismans. So it’s not bad to gain more “agility” from this little orange cat.
So he went forward, grabbed a corner of the sofa, and lifted it with one hand. “Ding!”
“The feline spirit was frightened, merit points +100, agility +1.”
The little orange cat was scared to death and ran crazily around the room, contributing more merit points to Xu Yang, making him even more excited. “Little kitty, don’t be afraid!”
“I get it now; you want to play hide and seek with big brother, right?”
“Then big brother is coming to look for you… if I find you, I’ll let you eat big brother’s lollipop!”
Yue Niang’s house was renovated in a corner of the basement, divided into several rooms. The little orange cat hid everywhere while Xu Yang searched all around.
Xu Yang had already mastered the “Heavenly Eye Skill,” so the little orange cat had nowhere to hide in his sight.
However, Xu Yang was good at playing hide and seek.
Sometimes even if you know the opponent’s position, you don’t catch them immediately but walk around the area instead, deliberately creating the impression of “next second” when you can find her, putting constant psychological pressure on her!
In this way, you can gain more merit points!
The situation was just like that now.
The little orange cat was hiding under a cabinet, shivering.
Through the gap, she could even see Xu Yang’s feet… She saw Xu Yang lingering outside the cabinet saying things like “Little kitty, come out, I can see you,” “Here!” “You can’t escape”.’
The little orange cat even covered her mouth with her paw!
If she didn’t, she was afraid she would yell out!
Finally…
Xu Yang left.
Seeing Xu Yang’s retreating footsteps through the gap, the little orange cat couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking to herself, “Master Xu finally left. He’s just like the rumored iron hammer Daoist, a psychological pervert. Fortunately, I’m smart and quick-witted…”
“Hahahaha!”
As she thought, Xu Yang suddenly appeared.
He lay on the ground, peering through the gap under the cabinet at the little orange cat, laughing, “Little darling, I finally found you!”
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the little orange cat, pulling her from under the cabinet and placing her on the sofa.
The little orange cat was utterly heartbroken…
She lay spread-eagled on the sofa, and two rows of tears slowly rolled down her bright cat eyes.
“Oh, this…”
Seeing this, Xu Yang quickly said, “I’m sorry, I just wanted to play hide and seek with you… If you’re not happy about it, I’ll leave now!”
But in his heart, he was overjoyed!
3,000 merit points!
In just a little while, he had gained 3,000 merit points!
Moreover, he had gained “agility+1” 30 times, giving Xu Yang a feeling of “light as a swallow.”
Leaving the room, Xu Yang hummed a tune as he left the Ghost House.
On the way, he sent a message to Yue Niang, saying, “Get ready and follow me to another place tomorrow.”
Instead of going back to the villa, he went to the funeral shop.
With Ma Xiaotiao looking after the business in the shop, Xu Yang had nothing to do, so he took out the token Lord Cui had given him and started playing with it, thinking to himself –
“What’s the deal with this Lord Cui?”
“Isn’t the efficiency of the underworld too low?”
Suddenly, Xu Yang threw the token back into the storage space.
Expecting him to actively contact Lord Cui?
Impossible!
Anyway, since he had control of the resources, what was there to be afraid of?
Feng Zhaoqing had already sent the information about Xishan Wanshou Palace, so Xu Yang took out his phone and confidently began to read it.
“Leader of Xishan Wanshou Palace, Wei Daochang.”
“67 years old, known as Supreme Sage Xuancheng.”
“In the late stage of the Divine Transcendence Realm, successfully condensed the Divine Transcendence Golden Elixir.”
The intelligence collected by the Supernatural Affairs Bureau was very detailed, including not only the personal strength, hobbies, and character of Wei Daochang but also the detailed records of the four disciples of Wei Daochang who were usually stationed in Xishan Wanshou Palace.
The rest could be ignored.
Most of them were ordinary disciples of the Lu Shan Sect, and many Jingming Sect disciples who were now affiliated with the Lu Shan Sect, did all the miscellaneous and rough work in the Daoist palaces.
In addition to this, Feng Zhaoqing’s data also recorded two rumors.
One of these rumors was about the “Sword Cypress” in the Xishan Wanshou Palace.
In Xishan Wanshou Palace, there were two ancient cypresses that were said to have been planted by the Miraculous Salvation True Lord Miaoji, Celestial Master Xu, after capturing the flood dragon that caused the flood disaster.
Before his ascension, Celestial Master Xu buried his magic weapon, the “Mosquito Slaying Sword,” under the ancient cypresses, leaving a message for future generations that if another flood dragon caused havoc and harmed the people, the Supreme Purification Seal and Grand Supreme Elderly Lord’s Seal could be combined to invoke the Mosquito Slaying Sword to subdue the flood dragon.
The second rumor was about the “Octagonal Well” outside the Xishan Wanshou Palace.
The well was octagonal, and there were iron chains locking it in all eight directions.
It was said that a sinful dragon caused the water disaster, and Xu Xun wielded a sword, capturing the evil dragon with magic, locking it with an iron chain, hooking it to the earth’s veins, and suppressing it in the well.
Xu Yang had heard of these rumors as well.
As for whether they were true or false, that was impossible to determine.
Xu Yang was surprised to learn that the Lu Shan Sect had scheduled the “Ceremony of Returning the Lu Shan Sect and Jingming Sect to the Clan and Praying for Blessings in the Taiwan Strait” to be held at the Xishan Wanshou Palace on August 4th.
The slogan for the fight over the Dao 20 years ago was also the “Ceremony of Returning the Jingming Sect to the Clan and Praying for Blessings.”
In the end, the Jingming Sect was defeated, the experts of the Jingming Sect were killed, and the old man’s bloodline was slaughtered to extinction.
Taking a deep breath, a murderous intent brewed in Xu Yang!
“Since 20 years ago, you could launch a fight over the Dao under the guise of the ceremony of returning the clan and praying for blessings… then 20 years later, I, Xu Yang, can too!”
At this moment.
Zongsheng Palace.
Under the ginkgo tree.
Wang Hou and Grandmaster Chengming were sitting crossed-legged, talking about the Dao.
Grandmaster Chengming couldn’t help but sigh, “Throughout all generations, no emperor has ever had a vision and ambition like yours, Wang Hou… You are willing to bear the infamy yourself and really plan to make public the cultivation methods you’ve taken from various clans and sects?”
“Grandmaster, you’re mistaken… I, Wang Hou, am not an emperor, so how can I be compared with the emperors of past generations?”
Wang Hou took a sip of clear tea, put down the teacup, and smiled, “Also, let me reiterate… those cultivation methods were borrowed by me. After I copied them, I returned the originals, so how can it be called robbery since I borrowed and returned?”
“Hehe!”
Grandmaster Chengming laughed.
The branches of the ginkgo tree above his head also shook.
Wang Hou continued, “Nowadays, the promotion of martial arts and Daoist skills is imperative. This is a trend that various clans, sects, and families must also clearly recognize. That’s why they agreed to lend me their treasured cultivation methods and allow me to pass on their skills.”
“Moreover, I don’t want their secret transmissions, so I won’t harm their foundations. After further development, we can even make a profit-sharing agreement. The basic skills will be released for free, and the advanced skills will be sold separately. In this way, those martial arts families and sects can also make some extra money.”
Grandmaster Chengming said, “For so many years, my Zongsheng Palace has collected many Daoist arts and martial arts. You can send someone to copy them later.”
“Why is the old senior so open-minded today?”
Wang Hou was somewhat surprised.
This old man didn’t say this before.
Grandmaster Chengming said, “The world is changing… As you said, cultivating more strong people is a good thing… We can’t always expect this old bone of mine to charge and fight in the future, right?”
As the two were talking, Wang Hou received a phone call.
As he listened to the phone, his expression gradually became strange.
“What?”
“Xu Yang is going to Xishan Wanshou Palace?”
“Doesn’t he know that Xishan Wanshou Palace is holding a prayer ceremony? At that time, the masters of Lu Shan Sect will gather together. In addition to those hidden foundations, most of them will be in Xishan Wanshou Palace!”
On the side, Grandmaster Chengming’s gaze flickered.
After Wang Hou hung up the phone and asked Chengming about the situation, he pondered for a few seconds and said, “Could it be… that Xu Yang deliberately chose this time to go?”
Wang Hou: “???”
Grandmaster Chengming laughed and said, “But you don’t have to worry. Lu Shan Sect is making a big deal about this prayer ceremony, inviting various major sects and even my Zongsheng Palace. I, the old Daoist, didn’t plan to go… Since that’s the case, I’ll go to join the excitement and at least ensure Xu Yang’s safety.”
Wang Hou was silent for a while, then said, “I’ll leave it up to you to take care of Xishan Wanshou Palace… Afterwards, I’ll call the military stationed near Lu Shan to have a few exercises, so that Lu Shan Sect won’t dare to go too far.”
Soon.
It was deep at night.
Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, and Yue Yuluo went to the Ghost Market after the night fell.
Xu Yang and Ma Long left only after 12 o’clock, heading to the Ghost Market.
As soon as they entered the Ghost Market, Xu Yang went straight to his “grocery store” where Liu Shishi and the others had already started doing business. The store was bustling with ghosts coming and going.
At this moment, a panicked ghost rushed into the grocery store.
Xu Yang recognized this ghost as a red-clothed apparition from Yue Mansion named Sun Chuanxiao.
As Sun Chuanxiao rushed into the grocery store, he cried, “Second Miss, Master… it’s bad, the eldest Miss has been detained by General Zhang. He wants to meet with Master Xu, he’ll release her after you go.”
Xu Yang paused for a moment, then burst into anger and waved his hand, “Let’s go, take me to see General Zhang!”
PS: The second update is here, just the 7500 words for today. I’ve had too many things going on these days, and I argued and had a conflict with my wife yesterday, so my mood is a bit off. I’ll quickly return to a daily update of 1,000 words, and I’ll make up for the 2,500 words I owe today.
