Yinyang master is not easy to deal with, I know.
Although Lao Gong and Xu Jian both said that the master has a single skill, I'm more aware that even without the strength to tie a chicken, there must be other ways to defend oneself and harm others.
For example, the late Qu Qianqu Master, the Van Jie who cultivated undead, Song Fang who raised ghosts, and Ding Ruipo who manipulated and controlled ghostly creatures!
I've met this old man before. After the Wangu Ji Daodao, he came to the Ding family, and shortly after, I left the front yard and went to the back yard!
In an instant, I suddenly raised my head, and a sword shot out from the cuff.
A strange scene unfolded; I had clearly aimed at the old man.
But the peachwood sword shot empty, the old man standing at a slightly offset position, and then shook the bell with more force!
The feeling of being pricked by a needle again penetrated deep into the ear canal, and I even heard myself experiencing tinnitus!
This time, I did not use the sword again, but instead used the female first jade tablet, directly pointing it at the old man's face!
The old man was stunned for a moment, and I was about to escape from the other side!
He took a step to the right and swung the bell again!
This scene shocked me greatly. The female first jade tablet, it turns out, was ineffective against him!
His reaction speed was not any slower than the original Tian Shou Dao Ren!
The pain in the ear canal felt like it would tear apart the brain!
I finally understood why Lao Gong had me act first.
Even if I approached Ding's house in this cautious manner, I was still discovered.
They can all react so quickly to me.
If it were Lao Gong who was planning, he might be even quicker to be countered by the opponent. In that case, we would have no reserves!
It's too late to keep hiding my identity!
If I don't really take action, I'm sure I'll be left behind!
I murmured quickly and softly in my mouth: "The supreme star of Tai Tai, adapt without pause! Drive out evil, bind the ghostly, preserve life and protect the body! Wisdom bright and clean, heart and mind at peace, three souls forever, the soul not lost or tilted, quickly as the command of law!"
A clean flow of pain was passed over, and it was suppressed.
I changed direction, exchanged escape for attack, and as I rushed towards the old man, my feet changed position as well. I shouted: "The Spirit of Tianfu, the Army of Diyu! Holding the Golden Mallet, investigating ghosts through their names! Giant Tian Li, Meng E General, quickly investigate and do not leave a moment. Quickly as the Commandments of Emperor Fengdu!"
With one hand, I pulled out the Gaotian staff and swung it down towards the old man!
Finally, a trace of fear appeared on his face, and he dared not confront it directly, retreating backwards!
I suddenly appeared in front of him, raising the Gaotian staff again!
He changed positions again!
Although old and feeble, he still gave me a sense that I couldn't hit him.
I had no intention of attacking him to the death. My feet suddenly exerted force, propelling me forward in a shooting motion, and I dashed towards the road further ahead, running wildly!
It was a critical moment, with several yin-yang masters dressed in Tang-style robes quickly emerging from all directions. However, their strength was not as great as that of the old man, and because they were slow to react, they couldn't stop me at all.
After sprinting onto the road, I happened to see a taxi stop by the side of the road, and I directly entered the rear seat in a low voice: "Go to a place with more people, the more the better!"
The taxi driver blinked in surprise and turned his head towards me.
"Go!" My tone was strict and without a doubt, and I threw several red banknotes onto the seat.
Money can make even ghosts push mules, and the taxi driver accelerated out with a powerful kick.
About twenty minutes later, the car stopped in the bustling commercial district, close to nightfall and just before it got dark. There were many vendors setting up stalls on the side of the road, and the crowd was particularly dense.
My breathing was slightly labored, and the veins on my forehead were jumping wildly.
I weaved through the crowd, trying to hide myself as much as possible.
My intuition told me that they would catch up soon. My goal wasn't to shake them off either. In such a crowded place, who would dare to rashly hurt someone?
I have a superficial understanding of the rules: when yin-yang masters fight, they are even more restricted than Taoists.
At this moment, the daylight was finally swallowed by the night, and Lao Gong quietly appeared from nowhere. He kept licking his lips and muttering: "So that's how it is!"
"What?" I was taken aback and turned to look at Lao Gong.
"Because he has a night pot, most things he can sense, so there's no need for me to explain to him," I said with a smile.
"The old lady is not dead!" Lao Gong spoke out!
My heart tensed up again as Lao Gong quickly explained.
"She had known all along that one day you would come looking for her, and that this matter needed to be solved in order for her to rest peacefully. However, she had to do it herself, so her plan was to let the knife kill the person!" Lao Gong explained.
"She had a lot of close friends indeed, in my opinion, those people all had their own purposes. The Old Madam was coveting Qin Weizi, but Qin Weizi refused to yield, and there were others who constantly flattered her. She would occasionally give them a sweet taste." Lao Gong continued.
"A little sweet taste is enough to maintain good relationships, but not enough for them to help her against Si Gui Mountain and the Taoism. Therefore, after we came looking for her, the Old Madam 'died,' which is real, but not her. We don't recognize her. The people from all the daofang are sure to recognize her."
"What could be the reason for Ding Ruipo to feign death? When those people arrive, they will wonder if it's because of an enemy?"
"In such a situation, normal friends, especially those with other intentions, would naturally offer their help. Once there's a fight, it would be chaos."
"Grandpa, let them all come!"
"Here is where we create chaos. You go back to the Ding family undetected!"
Lao Gong's analysis still left many things unclear to me, but I understood the key points.
Without hesitation, I sent a message to Xu Jin, telling him my location and concisely summarizing the situation.
During the conversation with Lao Gong and while sending the message, I did not stop; I kept moving among the crowd.
The yin-yang masters have all come, and their clothing is too obvious; it's impossible to hide.
With Lao Gong's reminder, I wiped the makeup off my face.
The people from the Ding family know who I am, but the other arrivals do not. This can buy some time.
The large area of the bustling city district made me circle for over 20 minutes, and they still couldn't lock onto me.
Suddenly, a terrible scream echoed in my ears!
There was also a terrified shout: "Snake!"
The crowd immediately stirred up, scattering in all directions in a commotion!
Glancing in that direction, I saw several yin-yang masters dressed in Tang-style robes jumping frantically among the crowd, flailing their arms, looking absurdly comical!
I can recognize her at a glance, it's Chang Xin who has come.
He had been itching to do something all the way here, and now that there was no opportunity to use his powers, he directly unleashed Liu Xian!
I took advantage of the chaos in the crowd to surge out of the bustling city area and quickly hailed another taxi. As I was sitting in the car, another scream echoed.
The taxi driver looked curiously at the window and asked me what was going on here.
I blurted out a vague excuse, saying that someone had released a poisonous snake to bite people, and everyone was running.
The driver jumped and cursed a few times, then quickly accelerated the car.
Lao Gong hummed a vulgar tune on my shoulder, yet he seemed to be content.
"The old lady and I are playing, but she's still too young. Let's go back and see what happened!" Lao Gong teased me.
