This Taoist Master is too Frivolous - Chapter 338

Chapter 338: Chapter 234: Dao’s Soul Summoning Technique!_2

“After the revival of the spiritual aura, the Trickster Sect didn’t disappear, but continued to be passed down… Unlike other clans, they can survive even without cultivation thanks to their tricks. However, some ancient circus tricks that require esoteric arts are lost, such as the Divine Immortal Rope, creating illusions and so on.”

Bai Wei was very familiar with the history of the Trickster Sect.

All this information could be found in the data collected by the Supernatural Affairs Bureau’s intelligence department.

She continued, “Until the late Ming Dynasty, the Trickster Sect was broken up due to war, with the Wu and Guan branches going into hiding among the common people, while the Pang Clan went overseas…”

“It wasn’t until the revival of the spiritual aura that descendants from the Wu and Guan branches reemerged, but their heritage had already declined.”

“On the other hand, the overseas Pang Clan flourished, discarding the now-unpopular tricks and focusing on martial arts, gaining significant influence in Southeast Asia.”

She pointed to the file on her tablet and said, “This man is the current head of the Pang Clan, named Pang Sihua. He’s a martial arts Grandmaster in the late Innate Realm and has highly refined Eagle Claw Skill with the nickname Iron Claw Eagle King among the Southeast Asian Chinese community… Additionally, he is one of the few experts in the Pang Clan who still practices esoteric arts, adept at ancient circus tricks to create illusions. He was even invited to perform for some leaders in the country.”

“Pang Sihua… Pang Sihua…”

Xu Yang repeated the name with a smile, saying, “It seems that the Pang Clan still has ambitions to develop in our country.”

Bai Wei added, “To my knowledge, the younger generation of the Pang Clan mostly have businesses in New Mateland and rarely return to the country… Who would have given them the courage to come to Wu City and bother Master Xu?”

“Exactly!”

Wang Lin chimed in, “Is Pang Sihua crazy? Even if the Pang Clan has some power in New Mateland, they’re nothing compared to the Asura Sect and the Lu Shan Sect. How dare they come to Wu City to cause trouble?”

Not to mention the two of them.

Even Xu Yang himself was somewhat puzzled.

He laughed bitterly and said, “Maybe they’re just out of the loop, not quite clear about my reputation…”

In his heart, he sighed longingly.

Indeed…

Making a name for oneself in the martial world is no easy task!

Since the Daoist skills competition, how many great deeds has he done?

Let’s not go too far back, just the two attacks on Lu Shan Sect alone ruffled the entire martial world, right?

Yet there are still people who don’t know who he is and dare to cause trouble for him?

He told them about taking in a young girl for Ma Xiaotiao, saying, “If I’m not mistaken, that little girl should be from the Wu branch of the Trickster Sect… She and her grandpa have a connection with me, and Pang Sihua coming to the country probably had something to do with getting something from her.”

“Now that Pang Sihua is dead, the girl’s soul is nowhere to be found… We’ll have to wait until I perform the Summoning the Soul technique for her to know more.”

After chatting for a while,

Bai Wei and Wang Lin took their leave.

It was already 6 pm.

Xu Yang took Ma Xiaotiao home for dinner and returned to the funeral shop around 8 pm.

The door of the funeral shop was wide open, with Ma Xiaotiao sitting on the floor behind the counter cultivating the Divine Ascension Scripture while Xu Yang was pondering over Daoist talismans.

He had already mastered the Wulei Talisman, Fire talisman, and other offensive talismans… What he was pondering now was the “Substitute Talisman” he had obtained from the three elders of the Lu Shan Sect.

Xu Yang tried for a long time, but without exception, they all failed.

Unlike the Wulei, Fire, and other offensive talismans, the “Substitute Talisman” belonged to the “karmic nature” type. It could help a person bear some damage and evil sorcery… However, Xu Yang had no idea what “karma” was!

“Karma, karma…”

“The bald… Masters of Buddhism love to talk about karma. I’ll ask some experts from the Buddhist sect when I encounter them in the future.”

Xu Yang had no choice but to put away his talisman brushes and paper.

Glancing at the time on his phone, Xu Yang called Ma Xiaotiao over and said, “Go to the supermarket and buy a bag of rice. Remember, it must be premium long-grain rice.”

Ma Xiaotiao ran out of the funeral shop and soon returned with a bag of rice.

Xu Yang opened the rice bag and picked out a grain, saying, “For the Daoist soul summoning, we need Guide Rice. This Guide Rice can be made from ordinary rice, but it has to be long-grain rice with both ends sharp and no damage.”

“Go, fetch two bowls and pick out the rice carefully. Remember… you must be meticulous, otherwise, if something goes wrong and we can’t summon the girl’s soul, it’ll be terrible.”

Ma Xiaotiao knew that his master was teaching him.

He immediately fetched the bowls and carefully began selecting the rice.

Xu Yang got up and began searching for incense, netherworld currency, incense burners, and other items on the shelves, saying, “Four ounces of Guide Rice are enough, no need to pick too much… Also, for the soul-summoning process, we need to prepare life-after-death money and road money in advance.”

“Master, what is life-after-death money?”

Ma Xiaotiao asked in confusion.

Xu Yang smiled and said, “Life-after-death money is just a piece of yellow paper with the Life-after-death Incantation drawn on it… As for the road money, ordinary underworld notes will suffice, because during the soul-summoning process, some dirty things might be attracted. That’s when we need to burn the road money to get rid of those dirty things.”

“Otherwise, what we summon would not be the girl’s soul but some weird and bizarre entities.”
