Chapter 149 - 127: Strike the Mountain to Shock the Tiger, Xu Yang Buys a Ghost! 3
“Don’t worry. The Daoist Master will keep his word… Once the number of ghosts caught is counted, I’ll stop torturing you and send you on your way!”
As he spoke, he dragged one fat male ghost out of the “ghost crowd” and pinned him to the ground, hammering and scolding, “That includes you… Why do you look so miserable?”
“Smile for Master Dao!”
Smack!
Lightning spread from the fingertip, shocking the fat male ghost who screamed and wept but squeezed out a smile.
When Xu Yang left the school gate with the group of Yin spirits and ghosts, the other competitors had already come out. Among them, a Daoist from the Maoshan Sect caught the most ghosts: a total of eight.
Circle Yuanxuan Daoist Temple’s three disciples had caught the least, sporting bruised noses and swollen faces, empty-handed…
In fact, they had caught a few ghosts.
But sadly, Xu Yang cornered them in the school’s women’s bathroom, not only “sending off” their few ghosts but also beating them up on the spot.
When all their “scores” were counted, Xu Yang said, “Fellow Daoists, can we negotiate… How about you hand over the ghosts in exchange for my talismans?”
“Rest assured.”
“For every ghost traded, I’ll give you three Daoist talismans. These two bags of talismans are up for grabs, what do you think?”
After saying that, Xu Yang was amazed by his idea…
He could open a “Malevolent Spirit Containment Center.” Martial artists from all corners could send the Yin spirits and ghosts they catch to trade for money or talismans.
Then…
He would use those Yin spirits to gain merit once more by exploiting them.
Once they were dealt with, he could send off the Yin spirits and ghosts, earning another income. How could he not profit from this?
“That’s…”
One of the disciples from Zongsheng Palace sighed sadly, “Master Xu, I’m sorry… it took a lot of effort for us to catch these Yin spirits… We must reclaim them after the exam.”
” What do you need them for?”
Xu Yang raised an eyebrow.
The disciple truthfully replied: “Of course, some are suppressed, and some are sent off.”
Daoists tend to be refined.
They like to call killing ghosts ‘sending off’.”
Xu Yang laughed, “In that case, sell the ghosts to me… It doesn’t make any difference whether you send them off or I do.”
He opened the bag full of Daoist talismans and stuffed two handfuls of talismans into the Zongsheng Palace disciple’s hand.
The disciple’s eyelid twitched at the sight of the talismans, troubled, “Master Xu… that’s not allowed…”
Xu Yang grabbed two more handfuls of talismans, asking, “Is it allowed now?”
The disciple glanced at the other Zongsheng Palace’s people and clenched his teeth, “I need to call the Dao Palace to ask for instructions…”
Xu Yang grabbed two more handfuls of talismans, filling the young Daoist’s embrace, “Okay, go ask!”
After that, he turned to the other competitors and smiled, “Don’t worry… I’ll stick to the deal I just mentioned, and if any of you catch ghosts in the future, you can send them to Wu City, and I’ll buy them as well!”
