Chapter 667: Chapter 667 Hear!!!!
Facing Zhong Pengzhan’s provocation, Huang Xiaolong merely smiled and remained silent.
Assuming Huang Xiaolong was intimidated, Zhong Pengzhan burst out laughing. “Hahaha~~ What’s this? Struck dumb? Exposed the true colors and the hideous face, so now you’re too scared to say anything?”
“Your words are incredibly unpleasant! And you’re way too arrogant!” Losing her patience, Xia Ying started defending her man. “I, along with Mimi and Er Fang, have seen Little Long’s abilities to catch ghosts and exorcise demons more than once. We know very well that he is not a fraud, but an exceptional man. He doesn’t need to compete with you, nor does he condescend to. Quite simply, you are not qualified to challenge him!”
“Hmph!” Scolded mercilessly by Xia Ying, Zhong Pengzhan was filled with indignation, his face horrifyingly grim. “Fine, fine, I’m not qualified? Just you watch!”
With that, Zhong Pengzhan turned his gaze toward a nearby patch of weeds. His nearly dark brown eyes suddenly erupted a vortex of power, rather eerie, reminiscent of the eyes of a ferocious ghost!
“Yin-Yang eyes!” With a harsh roar, Zhong Pengzhan pointed towards the patch of weeds. “I’ve activated my Yin-Yang eyes and I can see! There’s a little ghost there!”
Huang Xiaolong glanced over. Indeed, a little ghost was lurking there, with a miserable expression on its face, grinning vacantly.
It wasn’t a ferocious ghost, just a regular spirit.
“Tsk~~ what ghost? I don’t see anything.” Zhou Mi had completely lost any semblance of a good impression of Zhong Pengzhan. She hadn’t activated any Yin-Yang eyes and thus, couldn’t see the ghost at all.
Similarly, neither Miao Erfang nor Xia Ying could see it.
“Bullshit~~” Miao Erfang also took the chance to mock Zhong Pengzhan. He had offended her idol, Huang Xiaolong, who had saved Miao Erfang’s life on several occasions. In Miao Erfang’s heart, she had long considered herself Huang Xiaolong’s woman, she would marry none but him!
“He isn’t bluffing; yes, he can see spirits,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. Without delay, he took out a talisman paper, burned it and with a flash of gold light, the ghost materialized in everyone’s view.
Xia Ying, Miao Erfang, and Zhou Mi had all encountered spirits before, so they weren’t startled when they saw this one.
As for Zhong Pengzhan’s followers, it was as if they were seeing a ghost for the first time. Fear was painted across their faces, their complexions becoming unsightly.
“What’s there to fear? A bunch of worthless trash! With me here, ghosts are mere rubbish!” Zhong Pengzhan laughed maniacally and addressed Huang Xiaolong. “Oh, you actually do have some capabilities to materialize a spirit. But that’s useless! Watch, and see how I catch ghosts!”
Saying that, Zhong Pengzhan pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from his chest.
Just an ordinary pen and paper.
With lightning speed, he wrote a character on the paper in a seal script.
The character was indeed quite rare: “䜴” @@novelbin@@
Zhou Mi, Xia Ying, Miao Erfang, as well as Zhong Pengzhan’s followers, could not recognize it.
After writing it, Zhong Pengzhan lifted the piece of paper towards the ghost and shouted, “Get out!”
Something strange happened!
Upon seeing the “䜴” character written by Zhong Pengzhan, the ghost was so terrified that its face contorted in fear, it screamed and fled as though a mouse had seen a cat, disappearing completely within seconds.
“Hahaha~~~~ See? I did not fool you, did I?” Zhong Pengzhan bragged. “Did you see? I casually wrote a single character and scared the spirit away! For your Taoists, to draw a talisman, you would need a special brush, paper, and materials, and the use of Taoist energy. My method is simply to write a character, making all spirits try to escape!”
“Uh~~~” Zhou Mi and Miao Erfang were both flabbergasted.
It seems that Zhong Pengzhan wasn’t just boasting. He really could see ghosts and even use characters to scare them away.
Even so, such a minor technique, when compared to Huang Xiaolong, was simply children’s play, not even worthy of being called a small trick.
Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong said with a half-smile, “How interesting. But your brother must be better than you, right?”
“You know of my brother?” Zhong Pengzhan froze.
“The owner of Pengfei Driving School, right?” Huang Xiaolong answered with a smile.
“Hmph! It’s good that you know! Not only did my brother inherit the Zhong Family’s blood talent for catching demons and ghosts but he has also learned the Taoist arts… My brother is very powerful!” Zhong Pengzhan said with great pride.
At this point, having shown off his skill, Zhong Pengzhan looked elated. “This temple has been passed down in the Zhong Family. Although it has been deserted, it is still very effective. It is often said, ‘When you encounter a temple, pray; when you encounter a god, worship.’ Since you’re already here, why not go in and offer a prayer? Light some incense, make a wish, and it will surely come true.”
Pausing for a moment, Zhong Pengzhan continued with smug satisfaction, “In the temple, we are worshipping our ancestor Zhong Kui who has been protecting the Zhong family. It’s thanks to him that our business has been growing larger and larger.”
Huang Xiaolong shook his head and murmured, “This is not a Taoist temple; it’s a city god temple. Also, the city god worshipped inside has long disappeared and can’t protect anyone.”
Zhong Pengzhan seemed uninterested in what Huang Xiaolong had to say. He turned to Zhou Mi and Miao Erfang, “Mimi, Er Fang, I’ll accompany you to worship in the temple. Why not make a wish to meet your destined… s/he who laughs the last… If you make a wish, it will come true.”
Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi had the same thought at the same time—Destined one? We’ve already met him!
With a similar thought in mind, they both sneak peek at Huang Xiaolong with shy glances.
After getting to know Huang Xiaolong, Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi completely believed in the existence of ghosts and gods. Since they were here today, they might as well make reverences to whatever god was present.
If they made a wish to be with Huang Xiaolong in the future and become his woman, it would be great if the wish came true!
At this moment, Zhong Pengzhan led the group towards the temple of the city god.
Huang Xiaolong and Xia Ying were walking at the back.
“Little Long, what was the character that guy wrote earlier?” Xia Ying asked with a puzzled expression, “It’s really strange that it scared away the ghost.”
With a playful smile, Huang Xiaolong replied, “It was the character ‘䜴(jian)’, which signifies fear. When people die, they become ghosts, and living people are often afraid of them. When ghosts ‘die’, they become 䜴 and other ghosts fear them. If you write this character and stick it on a door, all narcolepts will stay thousands of miles away.”
“Uh~~~~” Xia Ying was utterly baffled. She still couldn’t comprehend the meaning of Huang Xiaolong’s words.
Huang Xiaolong continued, “At this point, I can confirm a few things.”
“First… What that driving school instructor said is true: there are ghosts in the Pengfei Driving School. The head of that school can communicate with ghosts and engage with them in some way. The instructors and students at the school have been affected to some extent by the spectral energy, which causes them to have bad luck and unfortunate accidents. The death of the driving school instructor was indeed caused by the school, and it can even be said to be entirely the doing of Zhong Pengzhan’s brother.”
“Second… Zhong Pengzhan’s brother is even more wicked and…strange than Zhong Pengzhan himself.”
“Third… They are indeed the descendants of Zhong Kui!”
“What? They…they are really descendants of Zhong Kui?” Upon hearing this, Xia Ying was horrified!
What do you think?
