This Taoist Master is too Frivolous - Chapter 402

Chapter 402: Chapter 280: What a gutsy move!

“…”

Xu Yang was stunned.

Just by starting a random stream to attract some followers for Yue Ya and Ma Xiaotiao’s short video account, he unexpectedly gained this… unexpected success?

He immediately nodded, asking, “Where does that person live? Can you be more specific about the strange occurrences there?”

“Huh?”

Taozi was also surprised.

She didn’t expect Master Xu to actually agree.

She hurriedly found the chat message from before, and actively requested connecting their mics.

Soon.

The mic connection was established.

In the stream, a slightly flustered voice began—

“Master Xu, hello.”

Xu Yang said, “Can you tell me in detail about the strange happenings you encountered?”

“Yes, Master Xu.”

The person recounted calmly, their voice raspy, telling the story in the live stream: “This all started half a month ago…”

“My family lives in the countryside, and we have a self-built two-story house with an old courtyard next to it. My parents used to live there.”

“My mother passed away from illness three years ago, and now my father has moved in with us.”

“I have two children. The oldest is five years old, and the youngest is three years old. The children are usually well-behaved… but since half a month ago, my second child would often cry at night, pointing at the old courtyard, constantly saying there’s a monster.”

“Since his older brother likes watching Ultraman, I initially thought the child was frightened by the monsters in Ultraman.”

“But recently, I found that the child would only cry when he saw the old courtyard, and his expression… how to put it, he seemed to have seen something terrible!”

The number of viewers in the live stream was increasing.

However, the chat messages became fewer.

Obviously, everyone was listening to this story.

It was just a simple, short story, terrifying?

It didn’t seem so.

But when you think about it carefully, it still makes many people’s back chill a bit.

After listening, Xu Yang laughed and said, “This is quite common and not really strange… At most, it’s just your deceased mother coming back to see you all.”

“…”

The person on the mic was dumbfounded, and he wondered, “Master Xu, is this true? I’ve thought about this question too, but why can’t we see her?”

“You’re adults, so of course you can’t see her.”

Xu Yang said, “Many places have customs, such as women shielding from strangers during confinement… and not entering or leaving the room around 12 o’clock at night when there are young children at home, all for fear of attracting unclean things.”

“Because children’s eyes are different from our adult eyes.”

“They can see some things that we adults can’t.”

“Then… what should we do?”

The person on the mic was slightly panicked.

Although it was his “mother,” deep down, he was still a bit terrified.

Xu Yang smiled and said, “It’s just a small problem, not a big deal… If I’m not mistaken, your mother’s memorial day should have been half a month ago… or someone in your family visited your mother’s grave, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The person said, “Master Xu’s predictions are so accurate. Half a month ago, I indeed visited the grave.”

Xu Yang continued, “Tomorrow morning, buy some paper money and burn it at the entrance of your old courtyard, light some incense, and if your family can afford it, kill a chicken. Remember… the chicken must be a black hen.”

“Will my mother leave then?”

“Yes.”

Xu Yang said, “If your mother doesn’t go after all this, it means she has some unfulfilled wishes. Calculate the time and go to the old courtyard at 12 o’clock in the evening… Remember, don’t turn on the lights, and you may have the chance to see your mother and ask her if she has any unfulfilled wishes.”

The person expressed his gratitude and hung up the mic connection.

After hanging up, he sent several hundred dollars’ worth of gifts.

Xu Yang immediately asked Taozi to turn off the gift receiving function, laughing, “Everyone, don’t send gifts anymore. Money is hard to come by these days… My plan for today’s live stream was just to chat casually.”

Afterwards, Xu Yang selected a few more people to connect the microphone.

Among them, one claimed to be a “Daoist practitioner” who was practicing “family Daoist skills.” He had reached the third level of Qi Refining Realm but didn’t know how to enter the fourth level.

“This question really stumps me.”

Xu Yang smiled bitterly, “When I was practicing, I naturally broke through without feeling any bottleneck between the third and fourth levels of the Qi Refining Realm… Oh, how long have you been practicing Daoist skills?”

The person replied, “A long time… Around the beginning of the month, after the country announced the existence of martial arts and Daoist skills, I saw someone online claiming to have a secret family manual. I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, I saw an extraordinary book in my grandpa’s house that he used to prop up a table leg. So, I went home to the countryside, found the book, and practiced by imitating the contents. To my surprise, I actually managed to refine it!”

Xu Yang’s spirit was lifted, and he asked, “How old are you this year?”

“23 years old.”

The person asked hesitantly, “Master Xu, is it too late for me to practice Daoist skills at this age? Do I still have hope of achieving Dao?”

“Yes!”

Xu Yang said, “What’s your name, and where do you live? Are you interested in joining our Jingming Sect to cultivate?”

23 years old.

Self-taught cultivation.

Just under a month’s time, and nearly at the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm!

That’s a genius!

This aptitude is even better than Ma Xiaotiao’s!

The Jingming Sect was in need of revival, and it was precisely the right time for someone with such talent!

Xu Yang had Ma Xiaotiao record the address and contact information, streamed a little while longer, and said, “This is my first live stream, and I didn’t prepare much for everyone… I’ll give out 800 Daoist talismans that I drew myself through a lucky draw later.”

“Alright.”

“Next up, let’s welcome a descendant of Da Xia’s Trickster Sect to perform some ancient circus tricks for everyone. I hope you all can show your support.”

After the stream ended.

Xu Yang handed the 800 talismans to Wan Baolu and then drove back to the villa.

At the villa.

Liu Shishi was practicing.

She was on the verge of a breakthrough, and during her practice, the Yin energy was rolling, enveloping the entire villa in a gloomy atmosphere.

Yang Yin was watching a show when she saw Xu Yang return. She immediately stood up and said, “Husband, have you had dinner? I’ll make you some late-night snacks.”

She was wearing a Republic of Da Xia period cheongsam.

Her figure was perfectly showcased.

Xu Yang, feeling a sudden urge, went to the kitchen, reached in from behind, and slipped his hand up the skirt of the cheongsam.

“Husband…”

Yang Yin pouted, “No… I’ll cook for you first.”

“What are you cooking?”

Xu Yang chuckled, “Tonight, I want to eat you… Come, let me check how your cultivation in the art of spiritual intercourse has progressed!”

One person and one ghost went from the kitchen to the living room and finally to the balcony.

It was already late at night.

On a night close to the 15th of July, the moon was sparse, and Xu Yang looked up to see Yue Niang sitting cross-legged on the balcony of the villa across the street, holding an orange cat in her arms and smiling at them.

Especially the little orange cat.

It stretched out its claws to Xu Yang, scratching its own cat face, making a “shy” gesture, and making a “meow meow” sound.

Yang Yin was shy.

She ran into the room.

Xu Yang, without blushing or skipping a beat, even greeted Yue Niang—

“Yue Niang, what a coincidence?”

“You’re also watching the moon?”

Yue Niang: “…”

Xiao Miao: “Meow!!”

Xu Yang laughed, turned around, and went back to the room.

He took out his talisman brush and paper and began to draw Daoist talismans again.

All the way until dawn.

After breakfast, Xu Yang said, “Yang Yin, I have something to do today and will be out for a while. You don’t have to keep lunch for me.”

He arrived at the funeral shop.

Xu Yang got the address of the genius who practiced the “family Daoist skills” from Ma Xiaotiao and who had connected with him on the live broadcast the previous night.

“Yue Province?”

“So far away?”

Xu Yang glanced at the address and was surprised, “Last night when we were on the call, his accent didn’t sound like he was from Yue Province.”

Without much thought.

Xu Yang waved and summoned a piece of auspicious cloud, stepped on it, and headed straight to Yue Province.

Yue Province is located south of Nanling and on the shore of the South Sea, bordering Xiangjiang, Ao Province, and Guizhou Province, belonging to coastal cities. Wu City is in the northwest of Da Xia. The distance between them is a full 2200 kilometers!

Xu Yang, stepping on the auspicious cloud, did not rush on the road, only maintaining the speed of sound. He left Wu City at around 9 o’clock and arrived in Yue Province around 11:30 at noon.

Unlike the 18th-tier small town like Wu City.

High-rise buildings in Yue Province were everywhere, countless luxury cars on the road, and its prosperity was vividly displayed.

Xu Yang dialed the phone number recorded by Ma Xiaotiao…

However, after dialing three times in a row, no one answered.

“What’s the situation?”

“Nowadays, young people are usually inseparable from their mobile phones… Why wouldn’t they answer the phone?”

Xu Yang was puzzled.

A vague sense of unease rose in his heart.

“Could it be that a Daoist sect went to snatch someone away?”

“No…”

“Last night when I was live streaming, there were less than 150,000 peak viewers. Could it be… that a disciple of some Daoist sect happened to see my live stream?”

Since the call could not get through.

Xu Yang could only search for the address.

The address given was Sunnyside University Canton Campus in Yue Province.

“Wang Wei?”

“School of Economics and Management… an MBA student?”

With the address, name, and school, it was easy to find Wang Wei.

Today was August 31st, the 13th day of the 7th lunar month.

The new school season had already arrived.

Many students had arrived at the school early.

Sunnyside University was full of youthful energy, teeming with young men and women, and bustling with life.

Xu Yang couldn’t help but sigh, “If I hadn’t given up on the college entrance examination, I would probably have been studying for my master’s by now…”

Not being able to go to college.

It was a pity in his life.

However, he never regretted his choice at that time.

“Well, time cannot be turned back. Now that I am the dean of Wu City Martial Arts Academy Daoist school, although the status is different, I can still experience college life…”

Xu Yang stopped a student and asked, “Excuse me, where is the School of Economics and Management?”

“It’s in the East Campus!”

The beautiful female student was very enthusiastic and said, “Junior, are you a freshman? Come… let your elder sister take you there!”

“Elder sister, I’m not a freshman, I’m here to look for someone.”

“Not a freshman?”

The female student looked Xu Yang up and down, “No problem, you’re so handsome, even if you’re not a freshman, your sister will still take you… By the way, who are you looking for?”

“Wang Wei from the School of Economics and Management.”

“Ah?”

Surprised, the female student said, “Are you here to find Wang Wei too?”

Xu Yang’s eyes moved and asked, “Too? Elder sister, have many people been looking for Wang Wei today?”

The female student replied, “About half an hour ago… a group of Daoists came, and I heard they were looking for Wang Wei…”

Daoists?

Xu Yang’s brows furrowed, and he said coldly, “Which Daoist sect? How dare they? The person I reserved, they dare to fight for?”

Following the female student.

They arrived at the School of Economics and Management.

Just as the girl was about to find someone to help Xu Yang ask where “Wang Wei” was, Xu Yang said, “Thank you, elder sister, I’ve found him!”

With a sweep of his divine sense.

He immediately found “Wang Wei” in a student dormitory apartment building in the School of Economics and Management.

He didn’t know Wang Wei’s aura or appearance.

The reason he could find him so quickly was that at this moment, there were three Daoists in Wang Wei’s dormitory!
