This Taoist Master is too Frivolous-Chapter 417 - 289: Can there be only one type of heaven-given divine power?
Chapter 417: Chapter 289: Can there be only one type of heaven-given divine power?
“Not good, this kid is ruthless, we must not provoke him!”
“Being a living person and controlling a ghost market, it seems he really has a few tricks up his sleeve!”
In the darkness.
Voices were communicating with each other.
The Ghost Gate opens on Lunar July 15th!
Especially this Ghost Gate, which has been closed for 600 years, and too many evil ghosts have escaped this time!
According to the rules, the Ghost Gate will be closed within three days.
The ghosts that escaped from the Ghost Gate “to go home and visit their family” need to return to the underworld on time. If they don’t return on time, they will become “fugitives,” and the Underworld Palace will keep track of them. When the ghost officials catch them, they will be thrown into the eighteen layers of hell, never to be reincarnated!
What if they don’t want to go back?
Naturally, they would hide in the various ghost markets!
The ghost market is a world of its own, neither belonging to the human world nor the underworld, but a place of triple no man’s land!
That’s why Xu Zhiyuan initially had his eyes set on the Xi Xia Ghost Market, and the fierce ghost carrying the ghost-head blade naturally had the same idea.
After this commotion.
As soon as the power of the Xi Xia Ghost Market was slightly revealed, it made many fierce ghosts from the Underworld Palace dispel their evil intentions.
Xu Yang had anticipated all of this early on.
That’s why he invited Yue Niang and Elder Wang to guard the ghost market as his main reason.
At the moment.
The sky had not yet brightened.
The ghost market hadn’t dispersed yet, Yue Niang, Yun Mengxi, Liu Shishi, and other women were guarding the market, and Xu Zhiyuan left behind two protectors and a group of Ghost Kings and red-clothed figures. With them and the nearly armed-to-the-teeth underworld soldiers in the Xi Xia Ghost Market, it could be said that their defense was impregnable!
Xu Yang, on the other hand, left the ghost market with Xu Zhiyuan, Wang Defa, and Ma Long.
Buzz…
In the spacious street, two people, one ghost, and one ghost official appeared out of thin air. They talked and laughed with each other, walking forward along the street.
On the street, however, the Yin wind was blowing, and paper money was flying around chaotically.
Ghost shadows were vaguely floating by.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, Xu Yang’s gaze moved, and he exclaimed in surprise, “The spiritual aura of the human world seems to have become slightly denser than before.”
“Really, really?”
Ma Long looked around and called out, “How come I don’t feel it?”
Wang Defa selectively ignored his disciple, saying, “The revival of the human world’s spiritual aura has gone through two stages. Sixty years ago, some deep mountains and old forests, and inaccessible places, produced spiritual aura, which marked the first stage.”
“The second stage was 40 years ago.”
“That time’s spiritual aura revival reopened the path of human cultivation.”
“There will be a third spiritual aura revival in the human world, and when the tidal surge of spiritual aura sweeps across, even those old immortals hiding in blessed lands and secret realms will come out.”
As he said this, Wang Defa paused slightly and continued, “I originally thought that there would be some time before the third spiritual aura revival, but looking at it now…it might not be far away. This time, the opening of the Ghost Gate has subtly affected the course of the human world.”
“What?”
Ma Long exclaimed, “Master, if that’s the case, wouldn’t Xu Yang be in trouble?”
Xu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, “How so?”
Ma Long said, “I’ve seen a few analysis posts on the martial world forum, saying that although Xu Yang and Wang Hou are doing well now, as soon as those powerful beings come out from the hidden blessed lands and secret realms, their days will be difficult, and they might even be jointly hunted down.”
Xu Zhiyuan’s face turned gloomy.
Even Wang Defa furrowed his brows.
After being in the human world for 600 years, he had a fair understanding of the martial world.
In recent years, Wang Hou has indeed touched the cakes of many clans and Daoist sects.
Especially by establishing a Martial Arts Academy, this move has dealt a huge blow to those clans and Daoist sects… However, it is likely that some of them secretly support him, so the situation should not be so serious.
Xu Yang was puzzled, “What analysis post? How come I didn’t see it?”
Ma Long: “It was posted yesterday by the martial world’s Baixiao Sheng’s successor Fang Wei… He posted three analysis posts in a row, and many people praised him for his very insightful analysis.”
“…”
Xu Yang looked bewildered, hesitated to speak, and could only change the subject, “Let’s not talk about this now, today is a great day of celebration… We’re at the funeral store now, and later we’ll have Yue Ya cook a few dishes, and we’ll definitely have a good drink today.”
Speaking of the funeral store, Xu Zhiyuan was puzzled again. He asked, “Xu Yang, what’s the situation with the funeral store now? I came here before, but I couldn’t get in.” Xu
Xu Yang honestly said, “Grandpa, I took on an apprentice who lives in the store… You know, funeral stores like this are easy to attract dirty things, so I gave my apprentice a few Daoist talismans I drew myself to paste up.”
“You drew the talismans yourself?”
Xu Zhiyuan was surprised, “In just four years, not only have you reached such a level of cultivation, but you also found time to learn Daoist talismans?”
Xu Yang was modest, “Just learned a little, just learned a little.”
At the entrance of the funeral store.
Xu Yang took out his key and opened the shutter door.
As Xu Zhiyuan walked in, he couldn’t help but shiver.
In the funeral store, the walls, windows, ceilings, and floors were covered with Daoist talismans. There were mainly three types: Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman, Wulei Talisman, and Fire Talisman, mixed with some Invisibility Talisman, Wall-penetrating talisman, and Divine Strength Talisman.
After all, a whole bag of Daoist talismans would be troublesome for Xu Yang to sort through, so he simply gave them all to Ma Xiaotiao.
Similarly.
A whole bag of Daoist talismans would be troublesome for Ma Xiaotiao to sort through, so he simply pasted them all up.
“This… Wulei Talisman?”
“Fire Talisman?”
Xu Zhiyuan looked at the talismans one by one, feeling goosebumps, and looked at Xu Yang suspiciously, “Did you draw these?”
Xu Yang nodded.
Xu Zhiyuan said with a dark face, “Didn’t you say you just learned a little?”
Damn it!
These talismans are even better than I am!
Xu Yang spread his hands and said with a helpless expression, “Grandpa, I was really just casually learning. Who knew that making Daoist talismans could be so easy? Before I knew it, I became the number one Daoist talisman maker in Da Xia.”
He waved his hand to put away all the talismans and took out a spare hemp sack from his storage space.
Those who have used hemp sacks to carry things probably know…
That hemp sacks are soft.
It’s not easy to put things in without someone holding the bag open.
Especially since Daoist talismans are made of paper, stuffing paper into a hemp sack requires a lot of tamping down or else it won’t hold much.
So he beckoned, “Ma Long, come help me hold the sack open.”
Ma Long stepped forward and held the sack open.
Xu Yang stuffed half of the talismans in, feeling that the sack was almost full, and then stuck one foot in to stomp it down a few times. The once brimming sack immediately shrunk by a large chunk.
Xu Zhiyuan: “…”
He opened his mouth but couldn’t speak.
As a former leader of the Jingming Sect, Xu Zhiyuan had practiced Daoism in his middle age, reaching the Divine Transcendence Realm in just over a decade. In addition to having some opportunities, his natural talent in creating high-level Daoist talismans speaks for itself.
However, at this moment, he was silent.
Not just him, but even Wang Defa was silent!
Wang Defa often paid attention to the happenings in the martial world. He knew that Xu Yang was good at drawing talismans since he participated in the “Daoist Skill Conference,” but using a hemp sack like this to store talismans was genuinely rare!
One should know that the Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman, Fire talisman, and Wulei Talisman in this hemp sack could even suppress and kill a Ghost King. Each talisman is valued between millions to tens of millions, and even those divine strength talismans, Invisibility Talismans would not be auctioned for less than a million!
Xu Yang didn’t think too much of it.
It was just a Daoist talisman, after all.
They were all reinforced with Dao artistic conception and weren’t so easily damaged. fгeewebnovёl.com
It didn’t matter what was used to store them.
Summoning Ma Xiaotiao and Yue Ya, Xu Yang introduced them and asked, “Yue Ya, can you help cook a few dishes? I want to have a good drink with the old man.”
Yue Ya chuckled bitterly and said, “Master Xu, I was too busy yesterday, and I didn’t buy any groceries. There are only a few cucumbers left at home.”
“No problem,” said Xu Yang with a smile. “You prepare, and the food will be here soon.”
He took a seat on a chair he pulled over.
Xu Yang quickly took out scissors and talisman paper, and in no time, he cut out two paper people.
With a puff of breath, the two paper people flew out of his palm, slowly floating to the ground. As they fell, the paper people seemed to inflate like balloons, growing and expanding. When they finally landed, two wisps of green smoke flashed, and they had transformed into two children wearing red bellybands.
“What a skillful Paper Cutting Skill!” Wang Defa exclaimed, clapping his hands. “I’m afraid there are very few people among the masters of strange doors and orifices who could achieve this.”
Xu Zhiyuan also marveled at it.
Xu Yang then went outside.
He originally wanted to pick up a couple of stones.
But since recently Wu City was engaged in a “creative city” project, where could he find stones on the road?
Helpless, he moved two bricks from around the tree pit inside.
He used his divine power, Turning Stone into Gold, and handed the two gold bricks to the paper people, instructing them, “Go find a vegetable and meat store and bring back some meat and vegetables.”
The two paper people quickly walked out the door, disappearing into the darkness.
“Turning Stone into Gold!” Xu Zhiyuan asked, “Xu Yang, is this your heaven-given divine power?”
Xu Yang nodded.
Wang Defa on the side hesitated and asked in surprise, “Wait… Xu Yang, didn’t you say that your heaven-given divine power was Communicating with the Netherworld?”
“Yes,” Xu Yang replied. “Is it only possible to have one kind of heaven-given divine power?”
Wang Defa: “…”
The paper people quickly returned carrying vegetables and meat.
Yue Ya had excellent cooking skills, and in no time delicious scents wafted down from the second floor. Xu Yang took out several bottles of Maotai, poured some for Wang Defa and the old man, and raised his glass, saying, “Grandpa, welcome home.”
As a ghost, the old man had no tears.
But his eyes were slightly red.
“Grandpa, are you going back down there after this visit?”
Xu Zhiyuan drank a glass and smiled, “I came back this time first to find you, and second to take revenge on the Lu Shan Sect. However, since the Lu Shan Sect has sealed their mountain gate and turned into a shrinking tortoise because of my grandson, I don’t need to step in anymore.”
“I have a huge foundation underground as a mountain king, so naturally, I have to go back.”
…
In Xi Xia Province, things were relatively peaceful.
However, on this night, in other places of Da Xia, strange events were happening frequently.
Some people saw a hundred-mile wide swath of blood-red clouds covering the sky.
Others saw ghosts traveling at night, moving through bustling cities.
That night, in the Capital City, a blade light cut through the night sky, and Wang Hou killed dozens of fierce ghosts besieging the city with a single stroke powered by the national fortune of Da Xia!
Among the nine Ghost Markets of Da Xia-
Except for Xi Xia Ghost Market and Fengdu City Ghost Market, major battles broke out in the other seven Ghost Markets.
At the same time-
In Xi Xia Province.
Silver City Institute of Technology.
Suddenly, a gray mist emerged from the ground, enveloping the entire academy. In the midst of the mist, a towering statue loomed indistinctly right in the center!
