This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 394: Chapter 272: Three Disasters and Nine Misfortunes Descend upon Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum Once Again!

The Evil God transformed from a “Yin deity”, the most important aspect of which was the “Golden Body.”

Once the golden body was destroyed, his Daoist skills would be instantly compromised.

Xu Yang killed the Evil God, picked up the “River God’s Decree”, and asked, “Xiao Xue, do you want this River God’s decree?”

“Don’t want it!”

Long Xiaoxue wrinkled her face in disgust, saying, “I am a flood dragon, of the dragon species. I am born to command all rivers under heaven, why would I want to be a small river god… Alright, I’m going back to your Zifu acupoint to sleep.”

She yawned and once again crawled back into Xu Yang’s Zifu acupoint.

Xu Yang shook his head with a bitter smile and flew up from the bottom of the lake.

The lakeside.

Seeing Xu Yang fly out, Ma Long ran over with a curious look on his face, asking, “Xu Yang, how did it go? Where did that girl go?”

“She’s dead.”

“Huh?”

Looking heartbroken, Ma Long said, “What a pity, such a beautiful girl, how could she be killed… weren’t you planning on making her your ghost bride? Why didn’t you keep her?”

Xu Yang was speechless.

What on the earth was going on inside Ma Long’s brain all the time?

Checking the time, it was already 1 a.m.

Xu Yang pulled out his phone and gave Yang Fan a call.

“Hello?”

“Director Yang, I’ve solved the issue at Yingze Lake Garden for you.”

“Thank you for what?”

“It was just a helping hand after all, it was merely an evil god transformed from a river god, roughly on par with an ordinary martial artist in Celestial Phenomenon Realm… Alright Director Yang, carry on with your work, I’m going to bed now.”

He hung up the phone and the two left Yingze Lake Garden, on foot, heading in the direction of the hotel.

Just as they reached the entrance of the hotel, Ma Long stiffened up and hid behind Xu Yang, saying, “Xu Yang, help me cover up… Damn, how did she find us?”

“Who… Oh!”

Xu Yang looked up to notice the girl with glasses they bumped into at the night market last night. She seemed to be called Yang Xue and was currently sitting in the hotel lobby.

When Yang Xue saw Xu Yang, naturally she also noticed Ma Long hiding behind him.

“Master Xu, you’re back?”

After greeting Xu Yang, she caught hold of Ma Long and scolded him, “You scoundrel, dare to deceive me? You promised to be with me… why won’t you answer my calls?”

Ma Long defended himself, “I was just following Xu Yang to catch ghosts…”

As far as matters between young men and women were concerned, Xu Yang didn’t feel like getting involved.

He went back to his room, took a shower, had a video chat with his wives, and then took out his talisman brush to practice drawing talismans.

He practiced until 4 a.m., then Xu Yang opened his system attribute panel.

“My virtue points have accumulated to 158,000… I must hurry up and cultivate the Summoning Clouds divine power to the entry level, then I can use one-click to increase my points, condensing the divine power talisman, and roam the world!”

He tried to cultivate “Summoning Clouds”, but it was difficult to reach the entry level.

By noon the next day, Xu Yang had only managed to condense a “auspicious cloud” the size of a fingernail in front of him. Yet Xu Yang was very excited… this indicated that the direction of his cultivation was correct.

Once “Summoning Clouds” enters the entry level, he can use the system to improve.

Some people might say that relying solely on external assistance, what’s the point?

However, Xu Yang did not think so.

Every single point of virtue in his system attribute panel was hard-earned. What was the difference between using these virtue points to improve oneself and tirelessly cultivating on his own?

He left his room.

Xu Yang knocked on Ma Long’s door next door.

Ma Long was a bit dizzy, and asked Xu Yang with dark circles under his eyes, “Xu Yang, what’s up?”

Xu Yang glanced into the room and heard the faint sound of running water. Without needing to guess, he could already conclude that it was the girl with glasses taking a shower.

“Ma Long.”

“I have some things to do, so I need to go to Xi’an. You go back to Wu City first. When you return, bring those sixteen ghosts with you and give them to Liu Shishi. She knows how to handle them.”

Since he had already come out.

Xu Yang was ready to pay a visit to Zongsheng Palace to see Grandmaster Chengming.

After exiting and having lunch, Xu Yang arrived at the airport, took a plane and arrived in Xi’an.

After leaving the airport, he took out the Mercedes-Benz from his storage space and rushed straight to Louguan Temple Scenic Area.

He initially planned to drive straight to the front of Zongsheng Palace Daoist Temple, but when he arrived at Louguan Temple Scenic Area he found…

The tourist in the scenic area was a bit too many!

Although Louguan Temple has always been known as “The First Blessed Land Under Heaven”, there are usually pilgrims and tourists, but not too many.

At least compared to the Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum and the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an, there are far fewer tourists here… But now, the entire Louguan Temple Scenic Area was packed full, it was teeming with people!

You must know, today is neither a holiday nor a weekend!

Xu Yang had a hard time finding a parking place, so he directly took advantage of when nobody was looking to deposit his car into his storage space. He casually stopped a person and asked in confusion, “Brother, are you here to travel? Why are there so many people coming to Louguan Temple today?”

“Is it too much?”

The bald-headed man laughed, “Young man, you must be the first time to Louguan Temple, am I right? Let me tell you… This Louguan Temple is the birthplace of Daoism, and there are many Daoist Temples, and more have high Daoist practitioners living here… Most people come here mainly to burn incense and pray.”

Xu Yang understood.

Indeed.

Louguan Temple was extraordinary.

At the time he came to attend the “Dao Fa Conference”, even Liu Shishi and Yun Mengxi dared not get close to it.

Calling this place a Daoist holy land was not an exaggeration at all. Coming here to burn incense and pray did have a great effect.

“Young man, are you here to burn incense too?”

The bald-headed man was very talkative.

He said, “Go to Zongsheng Palace. There is said to be a living immortals in Zongsheng Palace. If you can pray for a talisman, that would be even better.”

“Thank you for your tip, brother.”

Mixing in with the crowd of worshippers.

Xu Yang made his way to Zongsheng Palace, finding even more people lined up at its entrance. He pushed through the crowds to the front, much to the reluctance of those lining up. However, when a young Zongsheng Palace Daoist ran out to personally greet him and hailed “Supreme Sage Xu,” the crowd finally grew aware.

“Supreme Sage Xu… Supreme Sage Xu, could he be the one from the Northwest Wu City?”

“Northwest Wu City? Could it possibly be the Hukou Swordsman?”

“What Hukou Swordsman? He should be called the Northwest Hammer King…”

The bald-headed brother slapped his forehead in realization, exclaiming, “Ah! … I have even seen his videos online before. How could I not recognize him… This guy is a living deity; I should have requested for a Daoist talisman from him!”

Meanwhile, Xu Yang.

Had already entered Zongsheng Palace.

The young Daoist, who was about fifteen or sixteen, treated Xu Yang with utmost respect, saying, “Supreme Sage Xu, our ancestor knew you were coming and has been waiting specially for you in the ginkgo garden.”

“Ginkgo garden?”

Xu Yang expressed his surprise, “Since when did Zongsheng Palace have a ginkgo garden?”

The young Daoist replied, “It’s been built for some time now…”

Following the young Daoist to the backyard of the Dao Palace, sure enough…

A garden had been established around the original ginkgo tree, with walls over two meters high enclosing the entire tree.

There was a small door in the garden.

Xu Yang came forward for a closer examination, only to find out that the gate was an electronic lock. The young Daoist rang the doorbell and said, “The gate is bound to our ancestor’s fingerprints and only our ancestor knows the password… Supreme Sage Xu, please wait a moment.”

Xu Yang was at a loss for words!

This old Daoist…

What the hell was he up to?

Was he worried that his “Xing Er” would be disturbed?

30 seconds later.

The small door opened.

Grandmaster Chengming looked at Xu Yang, slightly annoyed, and said dismissively, “You’re here?”

“It’s an honor to see you, senior.”

Xu Yang stepped inside the garden.

The very next moment…

With a rustling sound!

The enormous crown of the ginkgo tree began to shake. A few branches stretched out and rubbed against Xu Yang affectionately. Startled, Xu Yang quickly backed out of the garden and gave a fist-and-palm salute to the tree, saying, “Senior, it’s improper for men and women to touch each other. I hope you could please be mindful.”

As he spoke, he stole a glance at Grandmaster Chengming from the corner of his eye.

Grandmaster Chengming’s face was turning dark.

He grabbed Xu Yang and said, “Let’s go and talk in my Dao Palace.”

Xu Yang didn’t resist and expressed his understanding…

This ginkgo tree had a great significance to Grandmaster Chengming, almost like a wife.

If your wife rubbing against someone else in front of you, could you bear it?

Upon arriving at the Dao Palace, Grandmaster Chengming riffled through a bookcase and threw an aged tome at Xu Yang, saying, “What you want is in there… You may leave now.”

Xu Yang: “…”

He flipped through the book.

Xu Yang discovered that it detailed three divine powers.

One divine power was the “Transportation,” part of the 72 Earth-Devil Skills.

This “Transportation” divine power was actually an enhanced version of “Five-Ghosts Transportation” from Lu Shan Sect… or to say the Daoist skill “Five-Ghosts Transportation” from Lu Shan Sect was derived from “Transportation.”

This was quite usual.

A lot of Daoist skills were derived from the 36 Malevolent-Deity Skills and 72 Earth-Devil Skills!

The second divine power was named “Earth Travel,” which was still one of the 72 Earth-Devil Skills. The Earth Escape Skill was derived from “Earth Travel”. Once mastered, one could move freely underground. The so-called “Earth Traveler” was renowned in this respect.

The third divine power was called “Three Disasters and Nine Misfortunes.”

This was a divine power that “Grandmaster Chengming” had cultivated himself. Xu Yang had some doubts about it, but before he could ask, Grandmaster Chengming said, “If you have any questions, call me later… and by the way, try not to visit Zhongsheng Palace too often.”

With the conversation coming to this point, Xu Yang could only take his leave.

Leaving the Louguan Temple, Xu Yang took out his car in a secluded spot, intending to return home. However, just as he was about to enter the highway, he changed his mind and set out straight for Lintong County.

Before long.

Xu Yang appeared outside Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum.

This time he did not activate his Heavenly Eye to observe the mausoleum, but stopped at a snack stall outside the scenic area to eat a bowl of cold noodles. He waited until nightfall, when most of the tourists had left and the scenic area had closed, before entering the scenic area.

He only stopped when he reached the stone inscription of “Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum”.

Then…

He switched his thoughts.

A yellowish aura rose around his body…

Swish!

He instantly burrowed into the ground.

He planned to use the “Earth Escape Skill” to investigate the internal conditions of Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum.

However, just as Xu Yang had just burrowed underground–

“Halt!”

“Who dares to trespass in the imperial mausoleum?”

A strict voice boomed in Xu Yang’s ears.

Following this, Xu Yang saw a general clad in golden armor, wielding a long spear, and riding on a black steed. From a distance, he speared through the air towards Xu Yang…

Buzz!

Xu Yang felt as though his entire field of vision was completely filled with a dazzling white light.

The next moment, a sharp pain wracked his body.

His body shot out from the ground!
