One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Ma Long was terrified and became incredibly brave. This old man, who used the alias Yu Huadu, seemed to be helping him, but he always made Ma Long feel uneasy.

He preferred to believe the Old Celestial Master, the leader of the Zhengyi sect, rather than this sinister and terrifying fellow, since it was only natural for the Celestial Master to catch ghosts.

Having made up his mind, Ma Long disregarded the late hour and mustered his courage to make a phone call to the old master.

The old Celestial Master, who is currently confined to Longhu Mountain, is watching TV series late at night, just like usual.

"Hmm! Malone?"

Why did this kid suddenly decide to call me in the middle of the night?!

The old master sat up straight and answered the phone.

"crooked!

"Little Malone, what brings you to this old man in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

“Hey hey hey!

It's been a long time since I last saw you since we parted ways at the Salvation Palace headquarters. I've been missing you, so I wanted to send you my regards.

"Hahaha!

You're still as glib as ever!

If you really miss this old man, why don't you come to Longhu Mountain to see me?

Why would you call me in the middle of the night?

Just say what's on your mind!

After listening to his polite words, the old master stroked his beard and smiled.

"Hehe, nothing can escape your eyes, old man!"

To be honest, I can't sleep now!

Scared!

I want to ask you, do ghosts exist in this world?

Malone didn't mince words, because he didn't know when he would be monitored again, so he could only keep it brief.

Oh, hahaha!

A ghost?

Don't think I'm just trying to scare you; ghosts really do exist in this world!

The old master clapped his hands and laughed, clearly intrigued by Ma Long's question.

Compared to the Taoist priest's relaxed and cheerful demeanor, Ma Long on the other end of the phone was terrified.

Holy crap, it really exists?

This is too bizarre!

"Ah, Heavenly Master, save me!"

What should I do?

"Are there any methods for exorcising ghosts? Please teach me a few."

"Don't panic. What's this talk about exorcising ghosts? These so-called methods of restraint are nothing but trifles."

Don't be influenced by some worldly films and television shows. People's fear of unknown ghosts and monsters leads them to fantasize about using all sorts of folk remedies to subdue them.

In reality, the effects are negligible.

You should view them with a normal attitude; ghosts are just a form of consciousness!

Moreover, they are more fragile and vulnerable than humans!

After listening to the old master's explanation, Ma Long felt somewhat more at ease.

The first point is that the old master did not act abnormally, indicating that this matter would not affect the powerful restrictions on him.

Secondly, the old master's composure indicates that he has a solution.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are incredibly powerful and have unparalleled supernatural abilities."

No matter what demons or monsters they are, they are no match for a slap from you.

But what can I do?!

"Don't panic, let me guess."

During the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, an old friend was wandering around Longhu Mountain. He said he could do me a small favor, so I didn't make things difficult for him.

It seems he's got you hooked now.

He appears carefree, but he's actually in a terrible state!

He only puts on airs in front of someone as junior as you.

The old master was absolutely right, but Ma Long dared not speak recklessly.

"Old man, you can't slander him like that. That old guy has a very strange temper and methods."

He can really hear us talking about him behind his back.

"Oh, so what if he hears it?"

He wouldn't dare come to me; at most, he'd bully you a bit to vent his anger!

The old master dismissed it, speaking lightly.

"what!

"Are you selling me out?"

Ma Long opened his mouth in shock, realizing he had made the call for nothing.

"Don't worry, he's extremely busy himself!"

And he won't really hurt you; just avoid arguing with him.

After saying this, the old master hung up the phone without explaining anything to Ma Long.

Is that all?

The old master doesn't seem like the type to act so erratically. Is his phone dead?

That's unlikely to be that perfect!

Can you please say a few more words about this trivial matter?

I felt at ease once the background of Yu Huadu and his bizarre methods were explained clearly.

unless!

Unless this information has crossed into restricted areas.

Never mind, I'll just get some sleep first!

"Ugh!

I got so engrossed in watching the show that I lost track of time and my phone died.

But that's alright, because there's really no way to continue the conversation after that!

……

Ma Long, lying flat on the bed, gradually fell asleep, and Feng Baobao gradually crawled all over his body.

Now, even if I don't cover myself with a blanket while sleeping, I still wake up in the middle of the night because I'm too hot.

It was Feng Baobao who woke up early tonight, and she started shaking Ma Long's body.

"Longlong, wake up!"

Ma Xianhong just left the village, and when he returned, his breathing was unstable, clearly indicating he had been in a fight!

Malone regained consciousness and opened his blurry eyes.

"What happened?"

How did you know Old Ma left the village?

“He just passed by our door, so I could feel his Qi, and he also brought back a villager.”

I remember this villager's aura; it seems he's been gone for several days.

"Alright!"

"Let's go join the fun. You go next door and wake Wang Ye up. I'll recite some scriptures to clear my head."

"Oh, I understand!"

Ma Long instructed Feng Baobao to call Wang Ye, while he himself began to recite silently.

Wang Ye was lying down fully clothed. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in days, and tonight he could finally rest.

His locked door was useless; a clever figure easily pushed it open.

He walked to Wang Ye's bedside, grabbed him by the back of the neck, lifted him up, and walked out of the room. In just a few steps, he arrived at Ma Long's room.

Wang Ye, who was in his sleep, suddenly felt himself suspended in mid-air. A feeling like being hanged came over him, and the intense pressure on his neck made it hard for him to breathe.

"Cough cough cough!"

Am I flying?

"Oh, you're awake. Now you can walk by yourself!"

When Feng Baobao saw that Wang Ye had woken up, she let go of the clothes she was holding.

"Boom!"

Wang was thrown heavily to the ground, which instantly sobered him up. He shook his head vigorously and slowly got up by supporting himself with his hands.

"Big sister, what's gotten into you again!"

In the middle of the night, they grabbed me and left. Was there an earthquake?

"If you're going to run away, you should at least give me a heads-up!"

Marlon, who witnessed all of this, was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time before he slowly opened his mouth.

"Baby, I told you to call Wang Ye over, not to drag him over!"

"Uh, pretty much!"

Anyway, he's already here!

Feng Baobao remained calm, as if nothing had happened, leaving Wang to vent his anger on Ma Long.

"Junior Uncle, so this was your idea?"

What's going on!

Why the rush so late at night?

"Ugh!

Old Ma just got into a fight outside the village, and I suspect it's related to Qu Tong..."

After Ma Long gave a brief introduction, Wang Ye said no more, already aware of the seriousness of the matter.

"Alright, let's go."

Go to Old Ma's small workshop and see what's going on.

"Wait a minute, I'll go back inside and put on my shoes first."

Wang was also brought over; his shoes were still in another room. After he put on his shoes, the three of them gathered together again.
