"Cheap but very cheap. How can it be useful if it's not cheap?”Li Zihang seemed to be quite proud of it.
…What kind of face did this person have?
"Cut the crap and tell me when you took Tang Yu away. Where did it go?" I asked impatiently.
"After you fell asleep, I brought the unconscious Tang Yu back to the Yin-Yang Method through my Spirit-branded Retainer. I'll pretend to be him and persuade you to join us before dawn. I didn't expect you to see through it so quickly. But it doesn't matter. Tang Yu is in our hands anyway. If you want to save him, come with me.”
After saying that, Li Zihang took out a small paper figurine, shook it, made a hand seal, and chanted a spell, throwing the paper figurine into the air.
The paper figurine instantly became twice the size of a normal person. He pulled me and jumped onto the paper figurine. Then, with a wave of his hand, the window opened, and we flew out of the hostel on the paper figurine…or more accurately, on the shikigami.
Even though I was afraid of heights, I didn't want to show it in front of this despicable person. I could only close my eyes and sit cross-legged, pretending to be calm and meditating.
After flying for a long time, Li Zihang, who hadn't spoken to me, suddenly said,""We're here."
I opened my eyes and saw that we had flown into a forest. The Spirit-branded Retainer was slowly descending.
When he landed on the ground, the Spirit-branded Retainer had turned into a paper figurine that was not even the size of a palm.
Li Zihang walked in front of me and led the way. We walked straight to the foot of a mountain. He formed a seal and chanted a spell towards a mountain wall.
After the incantation, a stone door slowly moved to the left, revealing a hole.
"Tang Yu is inside. If you have the guts, go in and look for him yourself.”As soon as Li Zihang finished speaking, he quickly flashed into the cave.
I craned my neck to take a look. It was very dark inside, and there was a cold aura coming out…No, it was Yin Qi!
I hesitated, wondering if I should go in or not.
If I don't enter, I won't be able to save Tang Yu, and if I enter, I might encounter something sinister. I just stepped into the Dao and can only use some simple talismans. I don't even know how to draw talismans. Can I protect myself?
I don't know whether to enter or not. What should I do?
After thinking about it for a moment, I finally mustered up the courage to go in.
I had only taken a few steps into the cave when the cold air froze my entire body.
Only then did I remember to look inside through my Heavenly Eye, but I didn't see anything.
Is there really nothing, or is it because I'm too weak to see it?
I was a little scared, but I still continued to touch the stone wall and walk in.
After walking for a while, I suddenly felt someone pat my shoulder from behind. I was immediately shocked and asked with a trembling voice,"Who is it?"
…There was no response.
Could it be that I was too nervous and caused an illusion?
I didn't pay much attention to it and continued walking.
However, after a while, he felt someone patting his shoulder from behind.
Now I'm sure it's not an illusion!
"Who is it? Speak!" I asked nervously.
However, there was still no response.
At this moment, a sinister laughter suddenly sounded. I couldn't tell if it was male or female, but the echo of that laughter was layered, making me tremble.
"You, who are you? Where's Tang Yu?" I asked in a trembling voice.
The sinister laughter suddenly stopped!
I vigilantly sensed the sounds and airflow around me, but there was no more sound. It was just that the Yin Qi was heavier, and the airflow was fluctuating up and down more violently.
All of a sudden, a cold aura assaulted my face, and I couldn't dodge in time before I was knocked to the ground.
After that, the Yin Qi disappeared, and the surrounding airflow returned to normal.
Is he deliberately messing with me?
Anger instantly replaced nervousness and fear. I got up and shouted hysterically,"Tang Yu! Tang Yu, where are you? I'm Ye Fan. If you can hear me, just answer me!”
There was still no response.
I became even more hysterical. Quickly tell me, where is Tang Yu? What did you do to him? Quickly return Tang Yu to me! Tang Yu!"
When I shouted in a hoarse voice and vented all my anger, I realized that it was completely useless. I could only continue to touch the stone wall and walk in.
I didn't know how long I had walked for, but I felt a little exhausted. However, I didn't stop and couldn't stop. I continued walking.
I should have been inside for a long time, but why haven't I finished walking through this passage?
Could it be that they did it on purpose?
If I still can't find Tang Yu and don't agree to their request before midnight tonight, I'm afraid Tang Yu will...
Thinking of this, I sighed helplessly and shouted,"Good! I agreed to join the Yin-Yang Method. Tell me where Tang Yu is!”
"If you had agreed earlier, you wouldn't have wasted so much time.”It was not Li Zihang's voice. It was the voice of an unfamiliar man.
I don't care who he is. I just want to find Tang Yu.
"Where's Tang Yu? Quickly bring me to him."
The cave suddenly lit up.
It turned out that there were candles on both sides of the stone wall, but not far in front of me stood a cloaked person. His head was lowered, and the hood covered his face tightly.
"Follow me." He turned around and led the way while I followed closely behind.
He took me around the cave and came to a stone room. I saw him making a seal and chanting a spell.
"Open!" he whispered.
The stone door slowly opened from the bottom to the top.
This was a very large stone room. There were about ten Taoist priests sitting in two rows on the left and right. Behind each Taoist priest stood two people in cloaks whose faces were covered.
There were two people sitting in the front seat. One of them was an old Taoist priest with sparse white hair and a beard that was at least three inches long.
The person sitting opposite the old Taoist priest was Tang Yu!
Tang Yu's face was still as pale as before, and he still looked weak and tired.
When he saw me come in, he smiled at me without saying a word.
I had the urge to rush over, but I didn't do so in the end. After all, this was someone else's territory. There were so many of them, and Tang Yu temporarily didn't have any spells to compete with, let alone me. If we were to fight with our fists and legs, my three-legged hooligan moves wouldn't be enough for them to move their muscles.
"Sect Master, Ye Fan is here." The cloaked man who brought me in said to the old Taoist priest sitting on the seat of honor.
"Yes." The old Taoist nodded and asked,"Where's Zihang?"”
"After Zihang lured Ye Fan here, I don't know where he went.”the cloaked man replied.
"Got it. You may leave."
The cloaked man followed the old Taoist priest's instructions and left the stone room.
"Venerable One, look, your good friend Ye Fan is here. Moreover, since he can come, it means that he has agreed to join our sect. What about you? Do you still disagree?”The old Taoist priest asked Tang Yu with a fake smile.
Tang Yu's smile disappeared." Daoist Priest Chen, I'm a Heavenly Deity from the Upper Realm after all. I'm also a Beast Rearing Supremacy. How can I join your mortal realm's Dharmic formulations?" As for Ye Fan... If you didn't use me to threaten him, why would he come?”
"Threaten? Haha." The old Taoist priest whom Tang Yu called Taoist Priest Chen looked at me and asked,""Ye Fan, please tell the Venerable One that you came here voluntarily or were you forced to come by threats?”
…Damn it, this old Taoist priest is a thief crying out to catch a thief!
I really wanted to say that they used Tang Yu's life to threaten me, but if I really said it, what would Tang Yu say and do?
If I say that I'm willing and persuade Tang Yu to join, will he blame me?
I thought about it for a while and finally decided that if he wanted to blame someone, he should just blame them. I'll think of a way to delay until midnight first.
"I volunteered." "Li Zihang told me that you were here to discuss joining the Dharmakaya. Didn't you say that you wanted to protect me?" I said to Tang Yu. Since you've joined another sect, if I don't join, how can I…protect you!”
I deliberately emphasized the last two words, hoping that he could understand my code.
Tang Yu remained silent for a while with an expressionless face before he said,""Ye Fan is only sixteen years old. He's still an underage child in your mortal world, but you actually dragged him into this.”
" Alright," Tang Yu sighed." I agree."”
"Good! "Hahaha…" Priest Chen laughed."To be able to invite the Beast Rearing Supremacy of the upper world to join our sect is the honor of the Yin-Yang Dharma World, the honor of our sect, and even more so, the honor of This Penniless Priest. Come, this poor priest will use tea to replace wine to toast the Venerable One, wishing our sect a happy cooperation!”
After they finished drinking tea, Priest Chen suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked someone to pour tea for me, so he called a cloaked man to pour me a cup of tea. He said that I joined with Tang Yu and couldn't favor one over the other, so he had to toast me as well.
After I finished the cup of tea, Tang Yu got up and said goodbye to them. He said that he would take me back to the hostel to pack my luggage first, and then we would come back to hold the entrance ceremony.
He pulled me along and was about to leave when a cloaked man blocked his way.
"Priest Chen, what do you mean?" Tang Yu smiled.”
Priest Chen still had that fake smile on his face."This Penniless Priest will get someone to retrieve your luggage for you. I guarantee that nothing will be missing. Please stay here for the time being and inform all the fellow daoists in the Yin-Yang Dharma World. After the entrance ceremony is over, we will arrange the rest of your itinerary for you. What do you think?”
"Not much!" I was a little angry and wanted to say something more, but Tang Yu pulled me back and shook his head slightly at me.
I didn't say anything else as I heard Tang Yu say,""Although we've already joined the cultivation technique, my duty is to keep us here. If you need any help, you can ask someone to inform us at any time. We promise to come back immediately. Therefore, there is no need to trouble Priest Chen to arrange those trivial matters for us.”
"It's our honor to be able to help the Venerable One and his friends arrange trifles!" Therefore, we have to keep this honor no matter what.”
Tang Yu smiled." It's an honor to be able to stay, and so can the person. Unfortunately, I can't keep my heart."”
Tang Yu pulled me and quickly walked towards the stone door.
At this moment, the stone door suddenly closed.
"It doesn't matter if you can keep your heart. What's important is that you can keep her.”Priest Chen said leisurely.
Tang Yu brought me back to look at him." So, we can't leave this place anymore?”
