This Taoist Master is too Frivolous - Chapter 384
Chapter 384: Chapter 265: Ma Long bravely enters the Haunted Building on South Street in Wang Village!
2023, August 26th.
It was the last day of the first enrollment examination at Wu City Martial Arts Academy, and there were noticeably fewer parents and students lining up on the school’s field.
At this moment.
In the director’s office.
Xu Yang sat with his legs crossed in a leather chair, and three file bags were placed on the desk in front of him.
The file bags were labeled Ganshire Province, Jin Province, and Meng Province, respectively.
“Director Xu, the information you requested is all here,” said Feng Zhaoqing, standing to the side. “These files were temporarily transferred from the neighboring intelligence department by the head office. They contain records of some unsolved bizarre cases that have occurred in neighboring provinces in recent years.”
“Oh?” Xu Yang’s face brightened. “Since they haven’t been solved for so many years, doesn’t that mean that the origin of these mysteries is very strong?”
“Yes, they are strong,” Feng Zhaoqing said. “Many of them involve Yin spirits of Ghost King level, and some are even close to forming a Ghost Realm.”
Xu Yang wondered, “Even if it is a real Yin spirit that has formed a Ghost Realm, there should be no difference between it and ordinary Minor Demons for Minister Wang. Why didn’t Minister Wang take action?”
“I don’t know,” Feng Zhaoqing shook his head. “These mysteries are still within controllable range, and the residents around Da Xia’s Ghost Realms have long migrated elsewhere. Perhaps Minister Wang is keeping them to give us more opportunity to grow.”
“Some of these mysteries have been personally addressed by Minister Wang… but as soon as Minister Wang arrived, the mysteries disappeared, leaving no trace.”
After a few conversations, Feng Zhaoqing excused himself: “Director Xu, I need to keep an eye on the enrollment examination. I’ll leave first.”
Xu Yang was the director of Wu City’s Martial Arts Academy.
Feng Zhaoqing, on the other hand, was also serving as the
After Feng Zhaoqing left, Xu Yang thought for a moment, and picked up the file bag marked “Jin Province”.
Inside the file bag were a number of case files.
Xu Yang counted them; there were ten in total.
These ten case files each documented a difficult “mystery case” that had not been solved in Jin Province for many years, collectively known as the “Top Ten Mysterious Events in Jin Province”.
“Ghost Building, South Street, Wang Village, Taiyuan?”
Xu Yang first studied the first “mystery case.”
This haunted building, originally the housing complex of Jin Province Finance and Tax College, was built in 1982. It was said that many bones were dug up from the foundation when the building was constructed, which caused quite a stir at the time.
Taiyuan City has a long history, and many wars have occurred here.
No one knows how many people have died in this city!
Xu Yang frowned, feeling puzzled, and couldn’t help but think: “If those bones were really the remains of fallen soldiers, then they are military spirits who died protecting this city and its people. Such spirits would never harm anyone!”
However, the case files recorded one bloody case after another.
Especially one incident, where 11 people in the “ghost building” died suddenly in one night. Since then, the Supernatural Affairs Bureau sealed the building, which has been abandoned for 23 years now.
“Forget it.”
“Instead of guessing here, it’s better to go and find out for myself.”
Xu Yang put down the file on the “ghost building” and continued to look at the next one.
The second-ranked of the “Top Ten Mysterious Events in Jin Province” was named “Yingze Lake Garden Heavenly Woman Case”.
The origin of this mysterious event took place in 1991.
At that time, a lantern festival was held at Yingze Lake Garden, which attracted visitors from nearby cities. The park was packed with people that day. At one point, a thick fog suddenly appeared, and the arch bridge in the park collapsed. Hundreds of people fell into the water, more than 80 of whom drowned…
According to statistics after the incident, all the drowning victims were women.
And during the event, the words “Heavenly Woman” appeared in blood in the sky.
“Mysterious gas station incident, haunted train station incident…”
“Huh?”
Xu Yang suddenly paused.
Among the ten case files, there was also an incident of a “monster causing havoc”. It was said that in a village near the mountains in Jin Province, there were fox spirits. There was a man in the village who claimed that every night, a beautiful woman would climb into his bed.
Naturally, the villagers did not believe him.
However, after some time, the man became thinner and weaker, eventually falling ill and dying in his bed.
Xu Yang put the file bag into his storage space and thought for a moment. He took out his phone and called Ma Long.
“Hey, Brother Long.”
“Where are you?”
On the other end of the phone, there was a noisy background with faint music and women’s laughter. Ma Long answered, “I’m out Purifying the Mind in the Moral Realm with Master… what’s up, Xu Yang?”
Ma Long sounded cautious, “You only call me Brother Long when there’s trouble!”
Xu Yang was annoyed, “Brother Long, I treat you like my own brother, and you see me like this? Where’s the basic trust between people?”
Ma Long: “…”
Xu Yang: “I need to take a trip to Jin Province, and I want Brother Long to accompany me, okay?”
“What about your wives?”
“They’re busy with the Ghost Market and can’t get away.”
“But…”
Ma Long glanced back at Elder Wang, who was surrounded by several women, and said, “I still have to accompany Master in Purifying the Mind in the Moral Realm.”
“Always under the protection of your master, how can you truly grow?”</p
