I Became An Acre Of Haunted Land - Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Those Rumors Made People Run

Xiang Ye held his phone and looked at it for a long time, but he still gained something.

Although those cultivation techniques and secret manuals sounded very impressive, Xiang Ye did not care much. This was something he had fantasized about in the first place. If there was really such a thing, he would just treat it as a joke and not take it seriously.

However, according to the incantation chanted by Xi Hongshi, some secret manuals still appeared.

Except…

These secret manuals did not seem to be what he thought.

For example, a secret manual called the Nine Yin Scripture sounded awesome.

As the old saying went, nine was the extreme and was even the supreme.

The word nine meant it was the real deal.

But as Xiang Ye continued to scan the manual, he could not understand it.

Although he knew every word, when he combined them, he was at a loss.

“At five in the afternoon, push forward with your palm.”

For example, he could understand the first level of the incantation. It meant that every morning and night, at 5 and 11 o’clock, energy would return to the elixir field and the palms would push forward.

This was simpler.

But then…

Second, sitting alone on an ice bed at extremely cold noon.

Third, like the second level, Yin and Yang will counter each other.

Fourth, like the third level, Yin and Yang will work together to survive.

Fifth, one’s breathing no longer has energy. When one finishes speaking, one’s eyes will open.

Besides the incantation, there were still cultivation techniques to follow.

Spiral Nine Shadows, Nine Yin Divine Claw, Ghost Prison Yin Wind, Teleportation…

The cultivation technique was more abstract than the incantation and there was not even a diagram. How could he learn it?

Xiang Ye looked at the strange descriptions and was too numb for words. He even suspected if anyone could really understand the meaning of this description and successfully cultivate it.

However, these difficulties did not defeat him.

After searching online, someone naturally gave detailed annotations. Xiang Ye could cultivate completely according to others’ annotations.

But then, he was stunned again!

“Eh? Do I have an elixir field?”

“Ah, no. Does Jiang Xiaocheng have one?”

“Do I have meridians?”

“What does it mean by ‘sense of energy’? Is it gas in the stomach?”

“Does my belly full of resentment count?”

“What does it mean by ‘big and small week cycle’?

“Where are my acupuncture points?”

“Damn it!”

In the end, Xiang Ye threw his phone aside. There were no cultivation techniques to learn online.

No, it was not that there was no cultivation technique suitable for him to learn.

There were a bunch of unfamiliar terms, such as sea of air, meridians, spiritual energy, elixir field, and so on. He searched them word by word and realized that he did not have these things at all.

Although Jiang Xiaocheng was in human form, her body was already empty.

“Forget it, forget it. Can I learn some ordinary moves?”

After being frustrated for half a day, Xiang Ye still picked up his phone. There was definitely nothing he could do about his cultivation technique and superpower.

There were still some rough secret manuals on the Internet, but every cultivation technique and superpower was based on a human body.

He could forget about learning those.

“Taekwondo? Muay Thai? Judo?”

“Why am I learning all this?”

“Even if it’s an ordinary move, I want to learn ancient martial arts!”

After ignoring some ordinary martial arts that shone in reality, Xiang Ye directly turned to ancient martial arts.

“Black Tiger Steals Heart?”

“After learning it, one strike is as powerful as a tiger?”

“Hey, hey, this is fine. It looks relatively simple.”

“Roc Spreads Its Wings?”

“When you wave your hands, you’ll be like a great roc, shaking the ground and mountains?”

“That’s an exaggeration, right?”

“Golden Rooster Independence?”

“It’s an old move for old people, isn’t it?”

“Monkey Stealing Peaches?”

“Eh, forget about that.”

“A tornado destroying the parking lot? What does that mean?”

“Crow flying the plane? What’s this?”

“Wonderful, wonderful!”

“To simplify powerful moves and express them in the simplest and most common way, not only is it refreshing, but it’s also catchy. This ancient martial arts generation is stronger than the previous one and there are even successors.”

Xiang Ye watched the person in the video with relish as he explained every move. In a short while, he was engrossed.

“Captain Xiao, we’ve found Xi Hongshi.”

As Wind Chaser reported the good news to him, Xiao Luming’s frown relaxed slightly. “Found him? How’s he doing?”

“He’s unconscious and injured.”

“Tie him up tight. Don’t let him get away.”

Xiao Luming was very happy to see Xi Hongshi tied up tightly. After such a long period of pursuit, they had finally arrested the main culprit. Their efforts during this period had not been in vain.

“Where are the Tang brothers?”

Xiao Luming asked as he stared at the unconscious Xi Hongshi.

“We don’t know about that. If Xi Hongshi wakes up, he should be able to summon the Tang brothers back.”

Wind Chaser scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

Xi Hongshi was a living person, so there were still traces to follow. However, Tang Long and Tang Hu had already turned into zombies, so it was more difficult to find them.

Without the call of Xi Hongshi, the two of them were like dead things and it was impossible to find out where the huge waves had washed them to.

“We have to find the Tang brothers too. Xi Hongshi is no longer useful. It’s time to give them to someone else.”

“I understand. I’ll continue to track them down now.”

Hearing this, Wind Chaser paused and planned to leave again.

“Wait, let’s not rush this matter.”

Xiao Luming stopped him from leaving.

“The people from the Superpower Administration in Jiangnan City have entrusted us with something. Recently, a crocodile ran out of the forest park and it should be nearby. Let’s see if we can find it.”

A crocodile? We have to…”

“Yes. Consider it a mission given to us by our superiors.”

“I understand!”

Hearing that it was a mission, Wind Chaser didn’t hesitate. He led the way and left.

When he escorted Wu Daxiong and the others back to the city, Xiao Luming had already heard news that there was something wrong with the crocodile in Jiangnan City’s forest park.

It was rumored that those crocodiles were deliberately released by the Buddhist Sect to feed on the unique spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the forest park. However, they did not expect that a moment of carelessness would backfire and cause a huge disaster.

It was said that those crocodiles were closely related to the Yellow Mountain Temple. Recently, there had been rumors that in order to build a Buddhist country in the mortal world, Abbot Chiba had even brought out the Eight Heavenly Dragons and the Four Heavenly Guardians.

Those crocodiles were meant to be guardian spirit beasts for these disciples.

Initially, Xiao Luming had always scoffed at such rumors. However, he quickly recalled the help he had invited to hunt down Xi Hongshi.

Back then, there was a person called Liu Haotian who left a deep impression on him.

“It’s only been half a year since the zenith tilt, and these people are already impatient?” Xiao Luming thought to himself.
