After he finished chanting, he suddenly raised the gourd and aimed the mouth of the gourd at the black fog in the corner of the wall. He shouted,"Imperial order!"
With his order, the black ghost mist immediately tumbled and let out terrified screams. It seemed to be sucked by the gourd as its entire body flew towards the mouth of the gourd and was finally sucked into it.
"Hmph, let's see if you still dare to harm others.”
Ye Wudao snorted and sealed the gourd with a wooden cork. He shook it hard.
Lu Liding's expression was complicated. He could hear the painful roar coming from the gourd. The evil spirit must not have felt good. This made him feel a little more at ease.
"Young Master Ye is extremely powerful and has boundless magical powers. You subdued the evil spirits and brought peace to the Lu Family Residence.”Lu Liding cupped his fists and thanked him sincerely.
He didn't believe in ghosts until he was haunted by evil spirits tonight and almost lost his life. Now that he saw the evil spirits with his own eyes and witnessed Ye Wudao's process of subduing the demons, he was completely convinced.
Madam Lu was equally grateful.
Especially Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying, who were at the age of first awakening love and rarely interacted with men. Seeing Ye Wudao's elegant demeanor and righteous actions, they could not help but fall in love with him.
"Mister Ye saved our family, this foolish woman really doesn't know how to thank you. I have five hundred silver here, I hope Mister Ye can accept it.”Madam Lu said as she held the banknote.
In ancient times, five hundred taels of silver was definitely not a small amount of wealth. It was almost equivalent to five hundred thousand yuan on Earth. After all, Ye Wudao's father had only saved up twenty taels of silver after living frugally for more than ten years.
Ye Wudao delayed." A gentleman loves money, so he has a way to get it. It's my duty to exorcise evil spirits. How can I accept other people's money?" Moreover, Villa Head Lu has treated me well, so it's only right for me to help out. I really can't take this money.”
Upon hearing these words, Madam Lu's eyes lit up and she was once again impressed.
Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang were also full of admiration, and their impression of Ye Wudao increased greatly. It was not difficult to find capable people in this world, but a true gentleman who was not greedy for money was precious.
Lu Liding praised," Young Master treats money like dirt. Your character is noble and pure. I really admire you."”
"Hehe, then you can call me Red Scarf.”Ye Wudao joked.
Lu Liding did not laugh. Instead, he said seriously,""Young Master is going to Mount Zhongnan to get married. The journey is far, and I can't go without money. Young Master saved my life. If I don't repay you, it will be unkind. So, you must accept this money.”
He took out the banknotes and handed them to Ye Wudao.
" This..." Ye Wudao pondered for a moment and finally nodded."Alright, since Villa Lord Lu is sincere in repaying your kindness, then I will respectfully accept your request.”
This five hundred silver was enough for him to spend all the way to Zhongnan Mountain. He no longer had to worry about food and drink.
Seeing Ye Wudao accept the silver notes, Lu Liding felt slightly relieved and the guilt in his heart lessened a little.
Madam Lu was meticulous. She thought about how Ye Wudao would have to cross mountains and rivers to go to Mount Zhongnan, and it would be a chaotic time. It would be impossible for him to go without martial arts. She did not want her little benefactor to die at the hands of the bandits, so she took the opportunity to suggest,"
"Old Master, although Young Master Ye knows how to subdue demons and devils, he doesn't know martial arts. Why don't you give me a secret manual? If Young Master Ye learns martial arts, he can strengthen his body and protect himself.”
"Furen is right." Lu Liding nodded happily.
Ye Wudao had saved the lives of his entire family. Even if he had to give up everything, he would not frown. Of course, he was willing to give up a mere martial arts manual. Moreover, it was not an absolute art that could not be taught to outsiders.
"Young Master Ye, my martial arts are average, but my best is the Quanzhen Sword Technique. You've done me a great favor, so I'll give you the secret manual of the Quanzhen Sword Technique now.”
With that, he walked into his study and took out the sword technique manual from the drawer.
Ye Wudao smiled and waited quietly. After Lu Liding gave him the silver notes, he also gave him the secret manual. This made him very happy. He thought to himself that he had gained a lot tonight. He really did not tire himself out in vain.
Soon, Lu Liding brought over the Quanzhen Sword Manual.
He gave the manual to Ye Wudao and explained,""The best martial arts in the world is Quanzhen Sect. The Quanzhen Sect is the orthodox sect and its martial arts are broad and profound. This Quanzhen Sword Manual has a total of nine moves. I have studied it for more than ten years and have benefited greatly.”
"Only nine moves? "So it's an incomplete copy…" Ye Wudao sighed in his heart and regretfully accepted the sword manual.
Ye Wudao knew that Lu Liding was just a minor character. In the original work, he was killed by Li Mochou as soon as he appeared. It was already good enough that he could obtain the Quan Zhen Sect's incomplete sword technique. It was unrealistic to expect a minor character to produce a peerless martial art like the Nine Yin Scripture.
Actually, this Quanzhen Sword Technique was very exquisite. If it was perfected, its power would be endless. During the sword competition on Mount Hua, Wang Chongyang had defeated the Four Uniques, and this sword technique had contributed greatly. Among the sword techniques of Condor Shooting and Condor God, only Yang Guo's Edgeless Heavy Sword, Huang Yaoshi's Jade Flute Sword Technique, and Shaolin Temple's Dharma Sword Technique could compete with Quanzhen Sword Technique.
" Wang Chongyang's martial arts are the best in the world, and the Quanzhen Sect is the orthodox sect of Xuanmen. Their martial arts are profound and unfathomable."Xiao Longnu is my fiancée. She cultivates the Ancient Tomb Sect's Ancient Tomb Heart Sutra. I've learned the Quanzhen Sword Technique, so we can work together.”
Now that the evil spirit had been put into the gourd, the haunting storm had also subsided.
However, Madam Lu was worried. She knew that Ye Wudao had an engagement and would leave the Lu Residence sooner or later. She was afraid that after he left, other evil spirits would come and harm people. What would she do then?
She pleaded," Young Master Ye, I have a presumptuous request. I want to ask for a few protective talismans to protect Shuang 'er and Cheng Ying, and to protect the peace of the Lu Family Residence."”
Ye Wudao nodded in agreement. He asked someone to bring him yellow paper and cinnabar. He wrote a talisman on the spot and gave it to Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying. He told them to carry it with them so that evil ghosts could not harm them.
Thank you, Young Master Ye." Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang said gratefully.
From beginning to end, they never left Ye Wudao's side.
Madam Lu admired Ye Wudao very much and could tell that they had a good impression of him. It was a pity that the latter was already engaged. Otherwise, she really wanted to take advantage of the situation and make it a good thing for them.
After a busy night, the sky was already bright. Everyone was a little tired. No one knew when Li Mochou would come. No one dared to sleep. They were all worried.
Madam Lu ordered for breakfast to be prepared. Ye Wudao ate until he was full. He recalled the plot in the original novel. Li Mochou would only come at dusk. It was still early. He went to the backyard and took out the Quanzhen Sword Manual. He began practicing martial arts for the first time in his life.
The incomplete version of the Quanzhen Sword Manual did not have any mental cultivation methods or chants. It only had sword moves. Moreover, this sword move was incomplete. There were only nine moves. This was just enough to reduce Ye Wudao's burden.
