Chapter 17: Between shamelessness and invincibility

When I shouted, many people were stunned, especially Yun Xiaobao, whose face was a “wonderful” expression. I guess it was because of Master Chen that he had a bad impression of me. Now that I’m trying to make friends with him, what’s going on?

I pulled the crispy meat out of the crowd and put the plate down casually. This is a ‘weapon of murder’ that cannot be kept in your hands. I am a good person.

Ignoring Yun Xiaobao’s wonderful expression, I said to the meat with a particularly gentle tone: “Meat, take a look. When you were a child, I told you to read well, but you didn’t, and you don’t even know ancient Chinese.”

Su Rou immediately replied, “Sanwa, when I was a child, I didn’t have the heart to study. I just messed around with you.”

When I and Su Rou were talking nonsense, others were watching with their eyes twitching. What kind of thing is this? In such a chaotic and tense situation, these two guys still had the heart to talk nonsense. It’s because they don’t understand us. These two people can talk nonsense in front of the King of Hungry Ghosts. This little thing is nothing.

Master Chen didn’t want to watch me and Su Rou perform, and said directly, “Let someone call the police. I still have a wound on my face. I will not tolerate such violent behavior.”

As for Yun Xiaobao, he asked me with some hesitation, “Which one are you?”

Su Rou pointed at Master Chen and said, “Calling the police is a given, but for now, you stand there and be silent!”

This is a wonderful thing to say. Master Chen immediately turned pale and then white. As for me, the rebellious character in my bones was stimulated, and my competitive and aggressive nature came out. I looked at Master Chen and said, “You just said that you were a bastard, and you dared to shout. That was really wonderful. As a Taoist, you should know the various incantations and techniques of Taoist people, right? Don’t think that only the Buddhist sect has the lion’s roar.”

Having said this, I looked at Master Chen and paused for a moment, then exhaled a breath that had already darkened my lower abdomen, and said softly, “Is this how you want to shout?” After saying this, a breath that had already darkened my lower abdomen exploded: “You little brat, how dare you!”

This kung fu requires a long breath, and the long breath must also contain power. This is a mutually reinforcing thing. My power is not abundant. From the time I was seven years old until now, it has only been 16 years, but the accumulation of 16 years is not a small matter.

How can it be compared to a fraud? This kung fu is not too difficult. My master taught me two of the shouting methods. One is to call the soul back, and the other is to shout to calm the soul. This move was once used by Old Li, who immediately calmed the person down, leaving them in a state of blankness.

If Lao Li or my master shouted with all their might, they could make people stupid for a minute or two. My skills are still shallow, but when I shouted, Master Chen was also dumbfounded and couldn’t say anything.

The people present were not the first to be affected, so they did not feel it as deeply. They just thought that my shout had a sound like a surging wave of air, and it even had a great echo in the factory building, as if I were holding a microphone and speaking.

This technique obviously impressed everyone. Anyone who wasn’t a fool knew that ordinary people couldn’t produce such an effect.

Chen’s apprentice kept calling out to his master, but Chen was acting like an idiot, so how could he possibly agree?

Then I jumped up on the altar and said, “What do you think a Taoist looks like? A holy man with a divine aura? A hermit who doesn’t eat? Or a saint who is unfathomable? I want to say that Taoists are also human, and they are not mysterious at all. They just have different studies. Do you know why I have a problem with this Master Chen? Because he has ruined the reputation of Taoism, pretending to be a sage, pretending to be unfathomable, and in the end he made a lot of money, and Taoism has fallen into disrepute. I didn’t want to say that I was a Taoist, but this liar is too much, relying on the strength of the crowd, trying to settle the dust and muddle through?

At this point, I looked at Yun Xiaobao, Ma Dudu, Cao Er and the rest and said, “Fifteen years ago, in Chengdu’s Luomashi, at the XX teahouse, my master and I went to sell jade. Do you remember?”

Yun Xiaobao’s face changed dramatically, and Ma Dudu and Cao Er were also shocked. I continued, “On that day, I remember that Master Yun was willing to use half of his family’s wealth to exchange for a piece of jade from my master, but my master only accepted two thousand. I, a Taoist, never hide the need for yellow and white things, but a gentleman loves money, and there is a way to get it. It is the right way to have a reward for your efforts. And you have to act when you don’t break the cause and effect, so that you can feel at ease. Money is secondary. Where is there a person like him, like a fire brigade, who appears wherever there is trouble? Every time he appears, he must reach out and take it? Not afraid of being killed by money? Not afraid of being entangled in karma and not making progress in cultivation? This liar really deserves a beating!

The more I said, the angrier I got. At this point, Yun Xiaobao rushed forward excitedly and said, “Little master, can you jump down and let me take a look?”

I barely suppressed my anger and jumped off the altar. Yun Xiaobao excitedly put his hands on my shoulders and looked at me carefully. Not only him, but also Ma Dudu and Cao Er and others surrounded me.

I let them look at me, but my eyes fell on the so-called Master Chen. I saw that among his group of disciples, the one with a fierce expression finally stood up and slapped Master Chen twice in the face…

This is a solution, I thought to myself, but at this time, Cao Er already shouted in surprise, “Yes, it’s him, the little master from back then. I said it looked familiar, and it turned out to be the little master.”

As soon as Cao Er finished speaking, Ma Dudu and Yun Xiaobao also suddenly realized what was going on. Ma Dudu asked me eagerly, “Little Master, do you still have Lingyu? Please sell me one no matter what.”

Yun Xiaobao, on the other hand, was in tears and bowed to me, refusing to get up for a long time. I didn’t understand what was going on, so I pulled Yun Xiaobao straight. Yun Xiaobao wiped his tears elegantly and said, “Your master is the savior of our family’s treasure root!”

I was confused. What rescuer? When did my master save my Yun Baogen? I don’t know.

“My Baogen is an only child, and he was pampered from a young age, but he was not educated enough. When he was a teenager, he got into a fight and made a big deal of it. At that time, he was stabbed many times, and Lingyu also shattered at that time. But the three people who were looking for revenge that day, two of them died, but my Baogen was rescued. The doctor said that although there were so many knives, none of them hit the vital points, and in that remote and dark place, someone passed by and found him in time, and he did not lose too much blood. It was a coincidence that the jade really saved his life!” Just as I was wondering, Yun Xiaobao explained it to me and solved my doubts.

I can’t really say what I felt, but to be honest, I know that jade is good for health and has many other benefits, but I’m not sure if it can ward off disasters. After all, in Taoism, we believe in karma. If it’s a fated death, nothing can stop it.

However, if it is a disaster in your life, you can continue to live after you skip it, and you can block it. This is the saying that life has ups and downs.

As for myself, I was born a child, so a jade amulet alone cannot protect me from disaster. I need great merit to ward off disaster.

At this point, Master Chen had already been forgotten by these people, and the onlookers were even more amazed. This twist in the plot was even more exciting than watching a TV drama. A real Taoist priest, eh, wonderful!

I suddenly remembered this and felt like asking Yun Xiaobao for a favor. I said, “Uncle Yun, my master has always disliked me being too high-profile. There are 50 to 60 people here today. I hope that you can use your mouth to tell everyone not to talk about this matter, after all, it’s not a good influence.”

Yun Xiaobao nodded and said, “Don’t worry about it. After all, there is nothing strange about it. People will only talk about it a little bit, and nothing will go wrong!”

I was about to tell Yun Xiaobao about Master Chen, but by then Master Chen had already come to his senses, had been slapped twice, and his face was swollen like a peach. He pretended to be graceful and walked over.

Then he said to me shamelessly, “It turns out that you are also a Taoist. This is a big surprise. Since we are both Taoists, you know the suffering of the family. I don’t think you set me up on purpose, so I won’t pursue it. I’ll give you a face.”

Yun Xiaobao looked quite interested, and I could see that he didn’t believe in Master Chen because of me. Instead, he said, “Yes, there must be some misunderstanding. I think we should talk it out and finish the ceremony together. After all, didn’t Master Chen say that it wasn’t very clean here? After that, I personally set up a table of wine, and then everyone sat down and talked it out.

Sure enough, Yun Xiaobao thought it was just a misunderstanding, and I was the one who had a problem with Master Chen. In my heart, I cursed, “Damn you, how can you be so shameless, and still act like you don’t care about me?”

I was furious and said directly, “There is no misunderstanding here. He must be a liar. Wherever you go today, it will be the same! Uncle Yun, if you trust me, you should tell me in detail what happened to you. I will explain to you whether someone is deliberately harming you.”

I said my thoughts very directly, and didn’t notice that the vicious person had been standing behind the crispy meat.
