Old Zhong grabbed Xiao Yu’s hand in eager anticipation.Xiao Yu nodded slowly.Xiao Yu then had everyone get into the car and placed Old Zhong flat on the seat. The little insect, no bigger than a sesam...Chapter 127: The Five Animal Frolics
"Hm" Just as Xiao Yu finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that Xiao Jian was making a phone call in a corner. Although Xiao Yu couldn't hear the conversation, during the time when he integrated Zhong Kui's memories, he learned to read lips and understood what Xiao Jian was saying. He quickly approached Xiao Jian, grabbed his phone, and heard a sharp voice on the other end of the line. It wasn’t clear if it was a man or woman speaking, but the accent was clearly that of a foreigner.
“What are you doing Give me my phone back!” The originally calling Xiao Jian suddenly had his phone snatched away by Xiao Yu and immediately showed both shock and anger on his face. He shouted at Xiao Yu who had taken his phone.
The foreigner on the other side of the line hung up as soon as he heard Xiao Jian’s scream.
Xiao Yu heard a dial tone in the phone and thought to himself, "Oh no." Then turned around and told the two masters: "Masters, I think that practitioner from the Lower World is going to run away. This kid already warned them. We have to act quickly!"
Grandmaster Zhang and Master Li exchanged glances, both inwardly exclaiming “trouble,” as they hoped that the practitioner from the Lower World wasn’t in the haunted villa; it was known how difficult those ghosts there were to deal with. Back then, even they couldn’t exterminate them, only sealing them up inside using an array formation. If someone destroyed the array formation, disaster would ensue!
Shao Jingru heard Xiao Yu say that Shao Jian had passed on a warning and was taken aback, her disbelief clear in her expression. Knowing that Shao Jian is her nephew and this girl his cousin's daughter, she couldn't believe it could be him. Could Xiao Yu have made a mistake
"Doctor Xiao, you surely haven’t mistaken something, right Shao Jian is my own nephew; how can he harm his cousin’s daughter" With an expression of disbelief on her face, Shao Jingru said to Xiao Yu.
"Believe it or not as you please. But if you check this phone, you might find some clues!" Without wasting words with Shao Jingru, Xiao Yu directly stated.
Jin Xianglin had a bit of faith in what Xiao Yu said; half a year ago, Shao Jian had gone to travel in Southeast Asia and returned just as his daughter fell ill. Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, he connected it with the two masters’ statement that it was someone from Southeast Asia who caused trouble, Jin Xianglin believed about seventy percent.
Jin Xianglin gave a signal to one of the black-clothed men, and the man nodded before rushing forward to grab Shao Jian. Shao Jian wriggled around in an attempt to break free but how was that possible With his body depleted by alcohol and women, it would be incredibly difficult for him to escape from someone as skilled as a black-clothed elite.
"Old Jin, what are you doing! Shao Jian is our nephew! Let him go right away!" Upon seeing Jin Xianglin instructing the black-clad man to seize Xiao Jian, Shao Jingru anxiously pleaded with Jin Xianglin.
"Jingru, after I finish investigating, if it's not him, I will naturally let him go!" Jin Xianglin said expressionlessly. Even when looking at Xiao Jian, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"A...Aunt... make Uncle let me go! It really isn't me! You'd rather believe a stranger you just met than me" Xiao Jian cried out desperately as he was restrained by the black-clothed man. His face showed great pain.
"Old Jin, why don't we let him go first I'll watch him and make sure he doesn't run away!" Hearing her nephew's heart-rending cries, Xiao Jingru softened her heart. She couldn’t believe that Xiao Jian would hurt her daughter, no matter what.
Jin Xianglin thought for a moment and nodded at the black-clothed man who then released Xiao Jian. The instant he was free from restraint, he stopped crying and started moving his aching arms around, but his eyes began to dart about.
By now, Xiao Yu and the two masters had reached the doorway of the house. They didn't let anyone follow them because no one knew what other tricks this shaman might have up his sleeve. After seeing Xiao Yu's medical skills, the two masters felt entirely at ease. A doctor like Xiao Yu who could counteract black magic would be a formidable weapon against a shaman.
The trio quickly approached the villa in darkness. Looking at its high walls from outside, Xiao Yu glanced at the elderly men and said, "Sirs, wait for me here; I'll go find the key!"
Both elderly gentlemen, who were in their sixties or seventies, exchanged a glance upon hearing this. They stepped back with light chuckles before Zhang Taoist ran up to the wall with a few steps and jumped onto it with his feet. He somersaulted into the courtyard. The other master, Li, was even faster; he just stomped on the ground and leaped over the wall like a bird.
Seeing their swift actions, Xiao Yu remembered that these two elderly men were no ordinary people; they were filled with dense primordial energy. No wonder they could be so agile.
Xiao Yu was about to climb the wall when he suddenly thought of Li master's movements and hesitated. Wushin gong And it’s the most authentic version! Has this true Wushin gong been passed down According to Zhong Kui's memory, apart from the Zhong family line, no one else had learned genuine Wushin gong.
The authentic Wushin gong and its widespread imitation were different. The former included unique breathing techniques that made it a true cultivation method for physical and spiritual health. In contrast, the imitated version merely mimicked the appearance of the original but was used by individuals with great perseverance to cultivate inner strength; this practice had little resemblance to authentic Wushin gong’s benefits for health and longevity—this is why Xiao Yu knew at first glance that Li master practiced genuine Wushin gong.
On the other side of the wall, Zhang Taoist and Master Li waited but didn’t see Xiao Yu come over. They were taken aback before realizing that he was just a doctor with no experience in their mystical practices; this explained why he hadn't arrived yet.
Zhang Taoist looked at Li master and said, "Old Li, wait here while I go pull him up!"
Master Li looked at Zhang Taoist with a mischievous smile and couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "Old Zhang, stop fooling around. Hurry up and bring him over to deal with the matter seriously! A mere Nang Pi Sa dare to cause trouble in our Huaxia; today he will leave with nothing!" After Master Li said this sentence, a previously amiable face suddenly showed a ruthless expression.
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Taoist put away his playful thoughts and agreed, "Yes! A mere Nang Pi Sa dare to cause trouble in our Huaxia. We must make sure he leaves with nothing!"
Zhang Taoist and Master Li swiftly returned to the wall's edge and saw Xiao Yu on the other side of the wall, immediately freezing.
It turned out that Xiao Yu, upon thinking about Master Li’s figure, concluded that Master Li practiced genuine Wuqin Shu. However, he couldn’t fathom where Master Li had learned it from.
But as Xiao Yu pondered this in vain, he suddenly remembered the Nang Pi Sa inside the villa and slapped his forehead, realizing now wasn't the time to think about that; first things first, finding the Nang Pi Sa was urgent.
Xiao Yu also used genuine Wuqin Shu when scaling the wall. Although Xiao Yu didn’t practice Wuqin Shu much, thanks to Zhong Kui's memories, he picked it up relatively quickly.
In just a few days, Xiao Yu mastered the basic movements and breathing patterns of Wuqin Shu, and due to having Zhengqi Mantra as a foundation, he found practicing Wuqin Shu even more efficient.
Xiao Yu flicked his shoulders and used the wall for leverage, flying up like a large bird. Suddenly realizing that both elders were staring at him blankly while clinging onto the wall when Xiao Yu reached it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly; after all this hiding, he was still found out in the end.
Compared to Zhang Taoist's shock, Master Li’s expression was more of disbelief.
Master Li naturally recognized that Xiao Yu used the bird form from Wuqin Shu, but even more fluidly and naturally than himself.
What is going on Only the Li family and Wang family knew genuine Wuqin Shu, and Wang's lineage was long extinct; only his own Li family still practiced it. Could this young man have inherited from the Wang family
"Let’s hurry up and go! Otherwise he might slip away, making him hard to find again!" Seeing Zhang Taoist’s shock and Master Li’s confusion, as well as anticipating Master Li's questions, Xiao Yu preemptively spoke.
Dài Shī Li could only suppress his doubts in his heart, while Zhāng Dàshī didn't expect to have misjudged. Originally, he thought that Xiāo Yù's medical skills were formidable and capable of dispelling jàng (Thai black magic), so bringing Xiāo Yù along was because they had inadvertently fallen victim to jàng themselves; with Xiāo Yù around, they could feel more at ease. Unbeknownst to him, it turned out that Xiāo Yù also possessed a formidable combat ability.
What puzzled them, however, was that they couldn't sense any fluctuations of internal energy or the pulse of Heaven and Earth's primordial energy from Xiāo Yù’s body. But if they still insisted that Xiāo Yù was an ordinary person at this point, then there wouldn’t be much difference between themselves and ordinary people.
Zhāng Dàshī and Dài Shī Li knew it wasn't the right time to press further, so they could only temporarily suppress their doubts as they advanced toward the villa.
Without any lighting here, the villa stood completely in darkness with no trace of light. Xiāo Yù and company entered the living room through the broken windows on the ground floor; although they couldn’t see in the dark like ordinary people could, their senses were much more acute than average.
After circling around the first floor without finding anyone, they exchanged a glance before heading towards the staircase to the second floor in the darkness.
In this pitch-black environment, the three of them ascended the stairs to the second floor. Although the villa had been uninhabited for a long time and was filled with oppressive Yin energy at night, who were these three people Even if there were ghosts inside, they wouldn't be able to escape from their grasp.
As soon as they reached the second floor, they became vigilant. At that moment when they entered the second floor, they had sensed a presence and a black shadow darted into a corner.
Xiāo Yù and company immediately turned to look at the corner; the black shadow hiding in it seemed to sense their gaze even in the darkness and realized that continuing to hide wouldn’t be much use.
"Dap... Dada... Dada..."
Suddenly, a strange sound of footsteps echoed from where the black shadow was. Soon after, there were shuffling sounds on the floor inside the room as if insects were crawling and scraping the ground, which sounded particularly eerie in this dark environment.
"Supreme Elder Laojun, urgent command by divine law, set fire..."all sitting on chairs and queued up, waiting for Xiao Hongyang to see them.Seeing these elders, Xiao Yu instantly recalled what Xiao Hongyang had told him when he returned two days ago. Back then, bec...
