The boy named Wang Danian is about the same age as me. Although he was wrong first, I still feel a little uncomfortable when I see him kneeling on the ground.
After all, making a grown man kneel on the ground is a blow to his self-esteem.
So I started to plead for Wang Danian, saying, "Master Chu, since he already knows he's wrong, I think we should just leave it as it is. Don't make it hard for him, he's your disciple, and it's not easy for him either."
Seeing me speak, Wang Danian looked at me, but there was still a bit of disgust in his eyes.
What I didn’t expect was that Chu Tiande shook his head.
He said in a deep voice, "No, no matter who comes to plead for mercy today, it won't work. He made a mistake and should reflect on it, otherwise he will make it again. I just want him to know how to behave. Besides, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice!"
Speaking of this, I realized that Master Chu Tiande Chu also has a stubborn temper.
Seeing that I couldn't change Master Chu's mind, I didn't say anything.
Besides, Wang Danian is Master Chu’s apprentice after all, so he has nothing to do with me.
"Brother Yang, let's go upstairs and talk. I heard that you have benefited from Zhang Quezi's twenty years of good deeds, and those old guys are eager to meet you!"
Master Chu politely made a gesture of invitation.
I smiled slightly and went upstairs without being polite to Master Chu.
Soon we arrived at the living room on the second floor of the funeral home.
Needless to say, the living room has simple and elegant decorations. But when I entered, I was still surprised. As soon as I entered the hall, I found that more than a dozen pairs of eyes were looking at me.
There were five or six old men among them, who had done a lot of good deeds and were very accomplished. There were also a few middle-aged men, and three or four people who were about my age or slightly older.
Needless to say, these people are Taoists invited by Chu Tiande.
As soon as I entered the living room, Master Chu began to introduce them to the crowd, saying, "Everyone has always wanted to meet the disciple of the hermit master. This young man is called Yang Tianyi, and he is the disciple of the hermit master."
However, after listening to Master Chu's introduction, I felt a little unhappy.
I thought to myself, it seems that most of the things about me have already been told by Chu Tiande and the others. I'm afraid that these people in front of me also know about the acupoint tapping method and the Seven Star Step.
Although I was very unhappy in my heart, I still smiled and nodded to those people one by one.
Master Qi and Zhao Xilan, who were quite familiar with me, nodded in my direction. However, with my current level of cultivation, even if someone wanted to harm me, they would probably have to think twice.
I smiled and greeted them, "You are so polite, I am just a rookie. Although I have my master, my ability to catch ghosts and monsters is not strong. I will still need your care in the future!"
The first person to stand up was an old man with a mustache. He had single eyelids and many wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were huge and round, like a mouse's eyes.
"Brother Yang, you are really polite. You have great luck. Not only did you receive guidance from a master, but you also received the good fortune from Zhang the Lame. This is great luck, much better than what we old men have.
"
Master Chu introduced me and said, "This is Taoist Longxu!"
I nodded to Taoist Longxu.
And I found that Fatty Li was standing behind the Taoist Longxu. Needless to say, the Taoist Longxu was Fatty Li's master, the man called Long Yuanda. And the title "Taoist Longxu" should be Long Yuanda's Taoist name.
I smiled and clasped my fists towards the Taoist Longxu, saying, "Senior Long, you're welcome!"
Although clasping fists is no longer fashionable in modern times, we still respect this etiquette in the ghost hunting business.
Long Yuanda said with a smile: "You are truly a disciple of a master, very polite. Let me say hello to your master!"
"Yes, yes!" I said repeatedly.
But Fatty Li, who was standing behind Long Yuanda, curled his lips and looked at me strangely. It seemed that Fatty Li had developed a prejudice against me ever since I hugged Zhao Xilan in the woods of Fengmen Village.
I smiled at Fatty Li, but he turned his head away and ignored me.
After that, several seniors showed their friendliness to me and seemed to want to make friends with me.
I know that they don't think highly of me, but are interested in the master behind me.
But what impressed me most was an old man wearing a Zhongshan suit sitting in the last row.
Although the old man was very old, his hair was shiny black, as if it had been polished. His eyes were always narrowed into a slit, and people who didn't know him would probably think he had his eyes closed.
Master Chu introduced to me that the man was called Xiao Junmin, and that he was an expert in the ghost catching business in Jiangbin City.
When I walked up to Xiao Junmin, before I could even open my mouth, he asked me directly, "Yang Tianyi, I want to meet your master, can I?"
Isn't that direct? In fact, everyone else thought so, but only the old man Xiao Junmin spoke up.
He speaks very directly and very quickly, and you can tell at first glance that he is a very forthright person.
"Well..."
I looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "Senior Xiao, it's not that I don't want to introduce you to someone, it's just that my master is still practicing and gaining enlightenment in the mountains. And my master's temperament is also quite strange, he doesn't like to be disturbed by others. You may not know his temper, even if he gets angry, he will deal with me, and he never shows mercy!"
When he heard what I said, Xiao Junmin's face darkened.
But he doesn't look like an unreasonable person.
After a while, he said, "Well, since I can't see your master, forget it. But if there is a chance, you have to introduce me to someone. Otherwise, I won't let you go!"
Damn it, this guy is really outspoken. He still won't let me off. I really want to go up and spit on his face, point my finger at his nose and say to him, "I'm not someone you can bully. I can drown you in a minute with my spit!"
But I can only think about it. Xiao Junmin's Taoism is much higher than mine, and the aura of Yin De on his body is extremely heavy. When I get close to him, I can feel a warm feeling.
The more such a person is, the more kind-hearted he is.
I thought to myself, forget it, I can just ignore you.
Soon I got to know everyone in the circle.
In addition to Master Chu and Master Qi,
There were four people with high level of skills in the living room, namely Long Yuanda, Xiao Junmin, Qiao An, and Lou Xiaoman. Lou Xiaoman was an old woman with short hair, and she was also Zhao Xilan's master.
After getting to know these people, seeing that I was still standing there, Sister Xilan said, "Brother Tianyi, come over here and sit down. There's an empty seat here!"
I didn't say anything and just walked over.
I sat down next to Xilan's master Lou Xiaoman. When Lou Xiaoman saw Zhao Xilan talking to me, she glared at me unhappily, but didn't say anything.
After a while, Master Chu saw that everyone was seated, so he turned to me and said, "Brother Yang, he has already told me about what you and Master Jiang experienced on the winding mountain road. But there are many things about the gray-robed man that we don't know."
"I heard from Master Jiang that you know a lot about that Taoist named Yang Chen. We hope you can tell us about him in detail. That way, we can find a way to deal with him! After all, he has survived until now and transformed his body into a zombie and his soul into a ghost. He should not be underestimated!"
"Um!"
I nodded.
After that, I told them everything I learned about Taoist Yang Chen from the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes, and I didn't exaggerate anything. But it seemed that the faces of the people in the living room were becoming more and more serious.
Of course, when I say these things, I say them in the name of my master. After all, the matter of the Yin-Yang Soul-Transferring Notes cannot be easily leaked.
"So, that Taoist Yang Chen actually lived for more than two hundred years, and he killed so many people during his lifetime. He was also besieged by many Taoists. Tsk tsk, he is really a ruthless character!"
This was said by the senior named Qiao An. His eyes were filled with concerns, and he seemed to be very afraid of the Taoist Yang Chen.
Xiao Junmin frowned and continued, "Yes, that Taoist Yang Chen was indeed very powerful more than two hundred years ago! But that was more than two hundred years ago after all. Even if he appears again now, I'm afraid he won't be as powerful as before. When he was a human, he was proficient in the techniques of both evil and righteous Taoists, but he was defeated all of them. Now he has become a walking corpse. Even if he has mastered many methods, he won't be very powerful."
What Xiao Junmin said is also true.
Although the people present had similar ideas to Xiao Junmin, they were all upright Taoist priests after all, and they still felt that dealing with the soul and body of a dead person was not a problem.
At once, everyone expressed their opinions.
In general, everyone is optimistic about dealing with the Taoist Yang Chen. But I am a little worried. Although the Taoists present are very capable, can we really deal with the Taoist Yang Chen
That Taoist Yang Chen gave me a terrifying feeling, and I always felt that he was very unusual.
And from the perspective that he can refine his soul into a ghost and his body into a zombie, he is a ruthless character.
Everyone discussed it over and over again but couldn't come to any conclusion.
The final decision was that everyone worked together to destroy the Taoist Yang Chen. These people were so eager to destroy the Taoist Yang Chen that after listening for a long time, I also heard that these people wanted to get the "Rejuvenation Pill".
