Chapter 179 - 151: Masters Also Need to Cultivate! _2
Ma Long trembled, feeling a vast amount of information pouring into his mind and transforming into his own memories.
Just as he was about to speak, Wang Defa interrupted: “Don’t speak, sit down, I will guide you in your cultivation practice!”
Hum!
A strange aura rose from his body and entered Ma Long’s body.
This aura was extraordinarily peculiar, somewhat similar to the “Yin energy” emanating from the Yin spirits and malevolent beings, but without the sinister, cold sensation they carried.
Ma Long immediately sat down cross-legged, feeling the peculiar power shooting from Wang Defa’s fingers directly into his body, and then circulating within him in a unique pattern.
After three circulations, Wang Defa’s voice sounded in his ears, “This is the method I imparted to you. I guided you through three circulations, widening your meridians. With your Extremely Yin Body, following this method in the future, your cultivation will progress rapidly.”
He withdrew his hand and deliberately appeared weak on the surface.
Ma Long opened his eyes and anxiously asked, “Master, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Elder Wang waved his hand, saying he was fine while beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Massaging his waist, he leaned forward, a pained expression crossed his face as he sighed, “Ah… I’m getting old and useless.”
“Master, is your back hurting?”
Ma Long immediately came forward to help Elder Wang massage his back, “I know a massage parlor with excellent therapists. Master, should we go there to relax?”
A glint of brightness flashed in Elder Wang’s eyes, but his expression remained serious, “The place you mentioned… is it reputable?”
“Alt…”
Ma Long slapped his forehead, realizing this was his master, his beloved mentor!
In ancient times, a mentor was considered a father figure!
The saying, “A teacher for a day, a father for a lifetime” was no empty words!
How could he think of bringing his master to such a place?
He immediately changed his tone, “Master, I am not too familiar with the reputable massage parlors in Wu City. Why don’t I find out which ones are good at massage?”
“No need.”
Elder Wang waved his hand dismissively, “I can’t betray your sincerity. If it’s not reputable, then so be it. It’s just massage, as long as one keeps their mind pure… As Buddha said, if I don’t enter hell, who will? Being in the mundane world is a form of cultivation.”
“Master is indeed a wise man. Your words are profound and full of life’s wisdom.”
Ma Long flattered, “I’ve suddenly had an epiphany. It seems I’ll need to visit more massage parlors in the future.”
He helped Elder Wang walk out of the shop.
Elder Wang snorted, displeased, “How can you go by yourself? If you go, you must take me with you… I also need cultivation!”
“Eh, Master, is this Mercedes yours?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s take your car.”
“Alright, my disciple, you drive.”
The master and his disciple disappeared from Xu Yang’s “spiritual power” perception.
Xu Yang: ”???? ”
Ah, what’s going on here?
But upon further thought, it made sense… After all, Elder Wang, or rather Qin, used to flirt with the female students at Silver City Institute of Technology when he worked as a security guard there.
Xu Yang wasn’t surprised that he would join Ma Long at the massage parlor.
However, he hadn’t had the chance to ask many questions yet, and they had already left for the parlor. At least, wait for him to finish asking!
But from Elder Wang’s words, Xu Yang gleaned some clues.
The influx of yin spirits and malevolent beings in the human world seemed to be not only due to the “resurgence of spiritual aura” but also related to the “turmoil” in the Underworld Palace.
With the Yin-Yang Path severed, even he had lost contact with the Underworld Palace.
Not to mention the yin spirits and malevolent beings, he couldn’t even find a way to the Underworld Palace!
However, things seemed to have improved in recent years.
This was Xu Yang’s own judgment.
After all, during his normal soul-crossing rituals, a vague vision of the gates of hell had appeared, and those souls seemed to have entered the Underworld Palace.
Also, his grandpa had entered the Underworld Palace as well.
Xu Yang, however, was worried…
This situation might not necessarily be good!
It indicated that the Yin-Yang Path might soon be restored!
By that time, the gates connecting the human world and the Underworld Palace would be wide open. Who knows what chaos might arise, and if powerful spirits escape from the Underworld Palace, there would be pandemonium!
At this moment.
A customer entered the shop.
It was a middle-aged man who asked, “Shopkeeper, how much for the wreath and the paper doll? Can it be made according to my requirements?”
Xu Yang’s eyes couldn’t see, so he used his spiritual power for a quick scan and immediately replied, “What do you need a wreath and paper doll for?”
There was a strong smell of decay on the man, and he was entwined with a faint Yin energy, indicating that he was being haunted by something.
Upon hearing Xu Yang’s question, the man looked up and saw that Xu Yang’s eyes were tightly closed as if he were blind. He instantly said, “Forget it, I’m not buying.”
Clang!
Yun Mengxi drew her watermelon knife and blocked the man who wanted to leave, sneering, “You scoundrel, you think you can just come and go as you please in my shop?”
She naturally saw the anomaly on the man’s body.
The man was startled, his expression a combination of bravado and cowardice, “What are you doing? It’s broad daylight, are you trying to force me to buy? Is there no law anymore?”
“Mengxi.”
Xu Yang waved his hand, “Forget it, let him go.”
Only then did Yun Mengxi put away the knife.
“Hmph!”
The man snorted and left the shop.
Until 6 pm, the shop had no business. Just as Xu Yang was about to close the door and go back home, a police car stopped outside. Officer Wang, with a weary face, got out of the car.
“Officer Wang.”
“Master Xu.”
After exchanging greetings, Officer Wang noticed Xu Yang’s eyes and couldn’t help but inquire. Xu Yang explained briefly, then jokingly asked, “Why did you decide to come here, Officer Wang? Did you encounter a difficult case?”
He didn’t expect Officer Wang to immediately become spirited, saying, “Master Xu truly has the wisdom of a sage; I admire your insight. Our department indeed encountered a case recently. In a week, a total of three sets of remains have been stolen.”
“Your grandfather’s remains were stolen before, right? I came here to ask you, Master Xu, how did you find the remains?”
