Chapter 77: Chapter 76: Luring with the “Dragon”, Fun with the Ghosts! 2

The two left the cattle farms mentioned by Ma Long behind them.

Gradually, the paved road disappeared, replaced by a rugged sandy stone path.

This old, neglected road had some pits blown out by floods, but it was still passable for their vehicle.

A small hill appeared before them.

Ma Long sat in the car, staring at the hill, and exclaimed, “That’s right, over there… it’s that ruined temple!”

The two got out of the car and followed the bluestone path through the weeds to the entrance of the ruined temple. A few large trees around the temple were already dead, with crows perched on the withered trunk, cawing.

An aura of desolation washed over them.

“Are you sure this is the place?”

Xu Yang looked around.

He sensed a faint Yin energy, but it was not dense. This indicated that no Yin spirits or ghosts were present in the ruined temple at the moment. The Yin energy was just a remnant left behind by the ghosts after staying here previously.

Which was normal.

After all, it was now daytime, with the sun hanging in the sky like a furnace.

Ghosts who dared to roam around during this time would be at least at the level of the Red Robe ghosts. If Xu Yang encountered such a ghost at his current cultivation level, he would have no chance of winning…

Unless…

He used his equipment!

With the Thousand-Year Peachwood Sword, the Daoist Robe, and the Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman left by his Grandpa, he probably had a chance to defeat a Red Robe ghost.

“Yes! Here!”

“It’s here!” Ma Long entered the ruined temple, picked up a broken tile off the ground, sniffed it, and gritted his teeth, “I’m certain it’s here… Damn, I didn’t dream it, I really was here.”

He looked at Xu Yang and asked, “Xu Yang, there are four female ghosts. Can you handle them?”

“Four?”

Xu Yang’s face lit up with joy, saying, “Four ghosts are nothing, I can deal with them.”

It wasn’t bragging.

After all, these four ghosts had not yet reached the level of the Red Robe.

Upon hearing that Xu Yang could deal with them, Ma Long immediately became arrogant, shouting, “Get out here, bitches… I’m here for revenge!”

However, no matter how loudly he shouted, there was no sign of any ghosts.

Xu Yang laughed, “Ma Long, don’t rush for revenge… It’s broad daylight, under the scorching sun. They can’t come out yet… I already have a plan. Let’s go out, and I’ll set things up.”

The two left the ruined temple, and Xu Yang placed more than twenty

Evil-warding and Ghost-repelling Talismans around the perimeter, including two Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talismans left by his Grandpa!

Then, Xu Yang took out an inkwell, filled it with cinnabar ink, handed it to Ma Long, and pulled the thread around the ruined temple to draw the ink lines.

The sun quickly dried the red cinnabar ink on the ground, making it disappear.

But this was not a true disappearance; it was simply hidden. When the ghosts manifested and their Yin energy surged, it would be revealed.

Ma Long, puzzled, asked, “Xu Yang, what are you doing with this? Are you going to build a house here?”

Ma Long’s father was, after all, a bricklayer.

Years ago, when building houses, there were not as many tools as there are now. Levelling and drawing lines relied on inkwells like this.

After setting everything up, Xu Yang said with a smile, “After all, there are four female ghosts. How can we ensure that we catch them all at once without making some preparations? Alright… let’s go back to Wu City first and come back in the evening.”

Ma Long became even more confused, “With all these preparations, aren’t you afraid of spooking them?”

Xu Yang looked at Ma Long without saying anything.

In his heart…

He mulled over his thoughts.

If these four female ghosts were indeed the masterminds behind the “Heavy Gold for a Son” case, then their not taking Ma Long’s waist might be because they had discovered Ma Long’s uniqueness and wanted to draw out the pure Yin energy from him.

If so, they would definitely take action tonight.

By then, using Ma Long as “bait,” there’s no way those four female ghosts wouldn’t show up!

Returning to Wu City, the two had a meal first.

Afterward, they returned to the funeral shop.

Xu Yang asked Yang Yin to watch the store on the first floor while he went up to the second floor to practice drawing Daoist talismans again.

He had drawn talismans all night yesterday, making significant progress on simpler ones like the Evil-warding, Ghost-repelling, and Safety Talismans. He had almost a 50% success rate, succeeding in one out of every two attempts!

However, the Diamond, Movement, and Divine Strength Talismans had been drawn dozens of times, and he could not succeed in drawing even one.

So today, he mainly practiced these three types of talismans.

Meanwhile, Ma Long was lying in Xu Yang’s bedroom, snoring loudly.

Xu Yang had been practicing making talismans from 2 pm until 9 pm, during which he successfully made one Diamond Talisman, one Movement Talisman, but as for the Divine Strength Talisman… no matter how much he tried, it just didn’t feel right!

After taking out the Supreme Purification Seal and carefully stamping it on the Diamond Talisman and Movement Talisman, Xu Yang joyfully said, “An ordinary Movement Talisman, when applied to the leg, can make a person double their speed… My Movement Talisman with the Supreme Purification Seal has double the effect, enough to increase a person’s speed by two times or even higher!”

The Diamond Talisman, on the other hand, was a “defensive” Daoist talisman.

It wasn’t just effective against Yin spirits and malevolent beings; when applied to the body, it could also resist “physical attacks.”

With the help of the Supreme Purification Seal, Xu Yang estimated that his Diamond Talisman should be strong enough to block a bullet.

He put away the two talismans with satisfaction, went into the bedroom, and woke up Ma Long.

Groggy, Ma Long opened his eyes and asked, “What time is it?”

Xu Yang glanced at his phone: “Just past 9.”

“Is it already past 9?”

Ma Long happily said, “I haven’t dreamt yet… Does that mean the female ghosts aren’t bothering me today?”

How could they not bother you?

Wouldn’t that render my preparations today useless?

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Yang smiled and said, “This is a good thing. Maybe the female ghost didn’t dare harass you because you were with me… Let’s go out for a drink, just the two of us.”

The two left and entered a nearby spicy hot pot restaurant, ordering two bowls of spicy hot pot.

Before the hot pot even arrived, Xu Yang took out two bottles of Maotai.

Ma Long was dumbfounded: “What are you doing, drinking Mao tai while eating spicy hot pot?”

“It’s all alcohol, just drink a little less.”

Xu Yang said he’d drink a little less, but when it came time to drink, he just kept pouring for Ma Long.

It didn’t take long before Ma Long was drunkenly babbling nonsense.

“As Ma Long had said, for the past few days, he’d been in a drunken state, taken a taxi home, and ended up being led by the female ghosts to the broken temple on Naitou Mountain!”

After paying the bill, Xu Yang carried Ma Long to the back seat of his car.

He then started the car and began driving aimlessly around.

Soon enough.

Midnight arrived.

As the clock hit “0:00”, Xu Yang felt a wave of Yin energy flow into the car’s interior the next moment.

Pretending to be controlled by the Yin energy, he continued to drive, appearing “dazed and confused” as he followed instructions, driving the car out of Wu City and all the way to the broken temple.

Clang.

The car door opened.

Ma Long was dragged out of the car by an unseen force.

Xu Yang, however, hesitated…

What should he do next?

“Ma Long only said that after getting into the taxi, he woke up in the middle of nowhere… but he didn’t tell me what the taxi driver did after bringing him here…”

Should he park the car here?

Wait for Ma Long to be “replenished” and then take him back?

Or…

Get out and help?

Looking outside the car.

The “Yin energy” pulling Ma Long’s body seemed very difficult… Obviously, the ghost controlling this strand of Yin energy was not very strong; otherwise, it would have simply teleported Ma Long directly into the broken temple by manipulating objects from a distance, making things much easier, right?

With this in mind.

Xu Yang opened the car door and jumped out.

He grabbed Ma Long, threw him over his shoulder, and jogged towards the broken temple.

On his shoulder.

Ma Long woke up from the bumpy ride.

Still groggy, he looked around and then saw…

He was carried into the broken temple by Xu Yang and then laid on the ground.
