This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

142Chapter 123: Do your words still count?

Translator: 549690339

Hearing the “Grand Master” speak about Xu Yang like that, the violent aura that Liu Shishi had just retracted erupted again, and it seemed even stronger than before!

Yun Mengxi too snorted in disdain.

With a roguish air, she raised her watermelon knife and pointed at Xu Yang, cursing, “Bald-headed bastard, don’t you know that Junior Harrison is under my protection? If you have the guts, insult him again and see what happens!” Grand Master:

He fell silent.

On the ground.

Zhou Jie looked at Xu Yang with a strange expression.

Feeling Zhou Jie’s gaze, Xu Yang couldn’t help but blush… The director Zhou wouldn’t think of me as a kept man, would he?

Immediately, he angrily pointed at the sky and sent a bolt of lightning towards the “Grand Master,” coldly saying, “Mengxi, Shishi, stop wasting time talking with this evil spirit. Let’s kill him quickly and go out for a late-night snack! “Hearing this, the two women rushed towards the “Grand Master” once again.

The “Grand Master” knew that he was no match for the two women, but the fact that Xu Yang, an “Entering Dao Realm” cultivator, dared to attack him only infuriated him all the more!

“You’re courting death!”

With a cold snort, his body suddenly exploded with a “bang,” turning into a massive gray mist rolling towards Xu Yang.

Xu Yang’s face darkened. He waved his hand, and a surge of magic formed an instantaneous web of lightning in front of him!

The gray mist seemed extremely wary of the lightning web and changed direction…

And then, it enveloped the unconscious “Zhang San,” who had been left on the ground with severed hands and feet by Zhou Jie.

The unconscious Zhang San actually slowly stood up!

Crack! Crack!

The broken bones of his hands and feet seemed to have healed instantly.

“Not good!”

“He’s trying to possess Zhang San!”

Zhou Jie was the closest and immediately used his Rush Thunder Hand technique, but as soon as his powerful palm and fist force made contact with the gray mist that surrounded Zhang San, it disappeared without a trace. Zhou Jie’s face changed as he felt a terrifying power emanating from the gray mist, and he was thrown back.

Buzz!

The gray mist was then completely absorbed into Zhang San’s body.

His eyes shimmered with a haze, and his whole body now exuded the same aura as the “Grand Master” had. With a cold, chilling voice, he said, “Good… very good. I’ll remember all of you. Today’s enmity, I will definitely avenge in the future!”

Swish!

He abruptly turned and ran towards the edge of the mountain, leaping off it in a single bound.

Zhou Jie was the first to run to the edge of the mountain, his face pale as he said, “Not good… if an evil spirit enters the bustling city, it will cause a huge commotion… Master Xu, and you two… ladies! Can you help to stop him?”

As he spoke, he was about to jump off the mountain to give chase but was pulled back by Xu Yang mid-air.

“Director Zhou, don’t panic… he won’t get far.”

Xu Yang smiled faintly, exuding self-confidence.

Just then, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the foot of the mountain, followed by a scream—

“No!”

“A Land Immortal?”

“How could there be a Land Immortal born in the human world nowadays?”

The screaming abruptly ceased, and in the next moment, a figure appeared at the top of the mountain. Who else could it be but Wang Hou?

In his palm, a cloud of gray mist churned, transforming between the appearance of the “Grand Master” and various ferocious beasts and demons, but it was unable to escape Wang Hou’s grip.

“Minister Wang!”

Zhou Jie rejoiced, stepping forward to salute. “Minister Wang, how come you’re here?”

Wang Hou glanced at Xu Yang and laughed, “Xu Yang called me, saying he suspected that there was an evil spirit… I came over to capture it for research, maybe we can find a solution to dealing with the evil spirits of Silver City Institute of Technology.”

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “Xu Yang, congratulations… at 22 years old, entering Dao with thunder, you can now be considered outstanding among Da Xia’s young Daoist generations.”

Xu Yang was taken aback.

He had initially thought that no one among Da Xia’s young Daoist generations could rival him… Even Master Huang from Yuanxuan Daoist Temple had said the same thing, but it seemed that he might have become complacent.

These major Daoist schools had been passed down for so long that they might indeed have hidden “heritage.”

But it didn’t matter.

He had only been cultivating Dao for less than a month, so there was no need to compare himself with those freaks who had been cultivating since childhood, with guidance from famous teachers and support from a wealth of resources.

He laughed, “Comparing myself to Minister Wang, I am nothing. Congratulations Minister Wang on becoming a Land Immortal!”

Zhou Jie on the side also reacted, saying, “Congratulations, Minister Wang, on becoming a Land Immortal!”

“Congratulations, Minister Wang, on becoming a Land Immortal and being unrivaled among humans!”

The other three Supernatural Affairs Bureau staff members chimed in, showering him with rainbow farts.

Even Liu Shishi, Yun Mengxi, and Yue Yuluo glanced at each other with cautious eyes!

Compared to Xu Yang, they knew even better how terrifying the “realm of the Land Immortal” was… especially in today’s age, a “living” Land Immortal could indeed be considered invincible in the human world!

Wang Hou waved his hand and laughed, “I have not yet entered the realm of the Land Immortal, but that evil deity just has bad judgment and called out in confusion.”

He then looked at Zhou Jie and said, “This evil deity can transform and must have deceived many people. I also felt the power of faith in incense from him. You should send someone to investigate the surrounding towns and counties to see if any abnormalities can be found. Only by doing so can we uproot him!”

“No!”

In Wang Hou’s hand, the struggling “Grand Master” suddenly stopped. Taking the form of a monk, his face was full of ferocity and hatred. He roared, “Why?” “Why do you want to exterminate me?”

“I gather the thoughts of the people and become a spirit from their incense offerings. I used to protect them and never hurt anyone… Even after the spiritual aura was exhausted and I couldn’t practice, as long as the people needed me, I would try my best to manifest a miracle!”

“But in the end… what did I get?”

“My temple was abandoned, my statue was smashed, even the incense burner was taken away to be made into iron… Since then, no one has worshipped or believed in me… ”

He was somewhat hysterical, shouting, “What did I do wrong? Why should I suffer such treatment? You can’t know the feeling of slowly dissipating bit by bit after my statue was broken and faith in incense was cut off, with only death waiting for me!”

“Hahahaha!”

Suddenly his tone changed, and he laughed maliciously, “But my life is not over yet…starting from 40 years ago, my nearly dissipated spirit began to slowly reassemble bit by bit… until three years ago, I could already appear in front of people as a saint!”

” If being a Yin deity and protecting the people doesn’t work, then I’ll be an evil deity!”

“I used the greed and desires in people’s hearts, controlled them, and granted them power…They provided me with flesh, blood, and souls, offering sacrifices to me…”

At the scene.

A moment of silence.

What the “Grand Master” said could be summed up quite simply:

I just want to survive. What’s my crime?

Even standing in his shoes and thinking about it, you’d feel like he’s making a lot of sense… People often say you should learn to think from a different perspective, like perhaps a murderer had some childhood experience that led him to become that way…

All these words are nonsense, fallacies!

What about those innocent victims who were killed, aren’t they innocent?

Has anyone ever thought about them?

Wang Hou’s aura overflowed slightly, directly turning the “Grand Master” back into a wisp of gray fog. He said coldly, “I don’t care what your reasons are, or what kind of creature you are. If you don’t harm the people or make trouble, I won’t bother you… But causing chaos and then trying to justify it?”

He suppressed the gray fog and flew away into the night sky.

As for Xu Yang, his gaze flickered for a moment.

Wang Hou’s words just now obviously had a hidden meaning, a hint.

But Xu Yang didn’t take it to heart.

His Shishi, Yun Mengxi, Yue Yuluo, and Yang Yin are innocent, kind-hearted, and would never harm innocent people.

Liu Shishi was already rescued.

Her remains and accompanying burial artifacts were also seized back, and Xu Yang immediately said goodbye to Zhou Jie with the crate full of “treasures” and went down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, he didn’t return to Zhouzhi.

Instead, he followed Liu Shishi to “her” grave.

Liu Shishi’s grave was not far from Xuan Mountain, located at the foot of an unnamed hill.

Under the moonlight, Xu Yang looked around and couldn’t help saying, “It seems that your parents were quite particular people in their day… The geomancy layout of this tomb looks really good.”

“Wow!”

Yue Yuluo exclaimed, “Husband, you’re so amazing! You even know geomancy?”

Xu Yang’s face turned red, and he said, “I just know a little, learned just some basics from searching Ma Wei’s soul… You see, right in front.”

He pointed to the flat ground around Liu Shishi’s tomb and said, “Look at this flat ground, from far it looks like a line, from near it looks like an arm bent… This is obviously a place for gathering wealth, and that hill next to it also has some rules to it.”

As for what rules there are, Xu Yang couldn’t say.

After all, that “Ma Wei” was just a small underling under Zhang San’s command.

Zhang San was a descendant of the “Tomb Raider Corporal”, but he wasn’t, and following Ma Wei, he had only learned some basics.

Meanwhile, Liu Shishi was standing in front of the grave that had been dug open, lost in thought for a moment.

Xu Yang came forward to comfort her; Yun Mengxi stuck her head out, took a look inside the grave and sighed, “Sometimes I envy you ghosts who can visit their own graves when you’re bored… I can’t do it. I hollowed out a mountain to build my own tomb, but I ended up being schemed against by that shameless old Taoist priest… ”

Having said this,

She glared at Xu Yang fiercely.

Xu Yang was speechless!

What does this have to do with me?

Wasn’t that what the old man did himself?

At that moment, Liu Shishi suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Yang with a serious face, “Xu Yang, you said on the mountain earlier that I am your woman… Does that still count?”

Xu Yang:
