This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 213: Chapter 176: Disguise Art, Another Painted Ghost?

Translator: 549690339

The skin-painting ghost instinctively wanted to run away.

However…

He found that there was an invisible force bound around him, stopping him from turning into Yin energy and escaping. It was even difficult for him to move his body. Fear involuntarily grew in his heart, and he asked tremblingly, “Who are you?”

“Ding!”

“The skin-painting ghost is frightened, merit value +20, Disguise Art +1.”

Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Xu Yang sneered, “As a Yin spirit in Wu City, you don’t even know my name… It seems like you’re not a very notable ghost.”

He provided 20 points of merit in one go, which is the level of a normal fierce ghost.

In the entire Wu City, who among the well-informed Yin spirits does not know the title of the “Iron Hammer Taoist”? This guy hasn’t heard of Xu Yang, probably because, as Miss Yue deduced, he is a “stray ghost” that has only recently been born and hasn’t yet integrated into the ghost circle of Xi Xia.

This “Disguise Art” is quite interesting.

Xu Yang’s mind was filled with knowledge of “Disguise Art.”

On the ground.

Ma Long finally took a deep breath.

Lying there, he took out some tissue paper from his pocket and wiped his buttocks before slowly getting up and pulling up his trousers.

His face showed no embarrassment at all.

With Xu Yang by his side, he had lost the panic that had frightened him half to death just before.

Instead, he stepped forward and slapped the “skin-painting ghost” with a “pa” coldly, laughing, “Damn it, a minor demon, you dare to scare me, do you know who I am?”

“If I say it, I’m afraid I’ll scare you to death!”

” I am a named disciple of King Biancheng, one of the Ten Halls of Yama in the Netherworld, my master is Wang Defa, the Walker of the Underworld, and my friend is the successor of the Miraculous Salvation True Lord Miaoji, the future Heavenly Master!”

“hetui!”

Pa pa pa!

He opened the bow last night, and then gave the “skin-painting ghost” a few big slaps, looking extremely smug, a perfect embodiment of the idiom “a dog wielding power.”

“Ding!”

“The skin-painting ghost is frightened, merit value +20, Disguise Art +1.”

“Ding!”

“The skin-painting ghost is frightened, merit value +20, Disguise Art +1.”

“Ding…”

In his mind, the system prompt sounded.

The “skin-painting ghost” was suppressed and bound by Xu Yang’s “Dao rhyme,” unable to escape. Fear already grew and spread in his heart. Hearing Ma Long’s words, he panicked and cried, “Spare my life, two adults, spare my life…”

“I was born with the ability to change into a thousand forms, male or female. If the adults can spare my life, I am willing to stay by your side and entertain you!”

At these words, Ma Long’s eyes lit up.

A thousand changes?

Doesn’t that mean anything can be played with?

But Xu Yang felt disgusted and immediately stepped forward with a hammer and cursed coldly, “You dog-like thing, when you were killing and hurting innocent people, did you ever think of this day?”

“Want to live?”

“Dream on!”

Several hammers hit in succession, Xu Yang’s control of his strength was excellent, and he hammered the “skin-painting ghost’s” head flat without causing it to burst.

“Ding!”

“The skin-painting ghost is frightened, merit value +20, Disguise Art +1.”

“Ding!”

“The skin-painting ghost is frightened, merit value +20, Disguise Art +1.”

“Ding…”

More than a dozen system prompts sounded one after another, and the “skin-painting ghost” was beaten with constant screams, “Ah… don’t hit me anymore, Master, spare my life, one more hit and my head will explode!”

Xu Yang really stopped.

He “looked” at the system attribute panel.

Behind the [Martial Arts] column, the words “Disguise Art” appeared.

This surprised Xu Yang…Generally, the skills obtained from “Yin spirits and malevolent beings” like piano playing and Golden Spear Won’t Fall only affected the body and did not show up in the system.

If it was displayed, it would belong to “Daoist skills.”

This was the first time he had brushed “Martial Arts” from a ghost, and it was a special type of “Disguise Art.”

But on second thought, it was normal.

In ancient times, who among martial artists wandering the martial world didn’t know some “Disguise Art”?

It’s just a matter of mastery and rudimentary knowledge!

Basic disguise skills rely on makeup and external objects to change their appearance.

Advanced disguise skills are powerful, not relying on external objects at all; instead, they directly control the body’s muscles to change appearance, and even move bones to change height and weight. However, this requires extremely high control over the body, at least a martial arts grandmaster and advanced disguise skills to achieve.

As for the level of skin-painting ghosts, it is the pinnacle of disguise art.

Peeling off the skin for one’s own use, men can change into women.

Xu Yang had already brushed nearly 20 times “Disguise Art +1,” and he felt that if he were to be a makeup artist now, he could definitely achieve effects comparable to those of Photoshop.

Seeing Xu Yang stop, Ma Long immediately said, “Old Xu, are you tired? If you’re tired, let me do it!”

He gritted his teeth!

In his mind, he couldn’t help but picture his disgraceful appearance just now, and immediately reached for the hammer in Xu Yang’s hand. Xu Yang subconsciously handed the hammer to Ma Long, and when Ma Long took it, Xu Yang reacted, saying, “Don’t, my hammer is too heavy…”

Bang!

But it was already too late!

The moment the hammer was in his hand, Ma Long felt as if a mountain was pressing on his hand, his entire body slanting and falling directly to the ground with the hammer.

Crack.

A faint sound of a bone fracture came, and when Xu Yang removed the hammer,

Ma Long was already screaming like a slaughtered pig-

“Ah!”

“My hand…”

Xu Yang: “…”

Looking at Ma Long’s deformed wrist, Xu Yang’s mouth twitched and he couldn’t help but complain, “You’ve entered cultivation, don’t you know to exercise your body? Your body is too weak!”

“What does this have to do with my weak body?”

Ma Long’s tears streamed down in pain: “Why is your hammer so heavy… Ah, don’t touch it, I have a fracture. Hurry, take me to the hospital!”

Sigh!

Xu Yang felt guilty in his heart.

If it weren’t for him to askMa Long out to “fish,” this wouldn’t have happened.

He quickly took out the demon-sealing bottle and stuffed the painting ghost inside.

“Ma Long?”

“I’m sorry… it’s my fault…”

Xu Yang tried to apologize, but before he could finish, Ma Long interrupted him, saying, “Xu Yang, do we brothers need to say this much? I should be thanking you. If it weren’t for you, I might have fallen into that ghost’s hands.”

He gritted his teeth in pain, and they were in a remote location. After waiting for more than ten minutes, they finally got a taxi.

In Wu City, there is an orthopedic hospital named “Xi Xia Returnee Zhang’s Osteopathic Hospital,” whose orthopedic level is top-notch in the entire Xi Xia Province. For ordinary fractures, surgery might be required in other hospitals, but not here.

When they arrived at the hospital, they first had an X-ray.

Ma Long sat outside the CT room waiting for the results, while Xu Yang busied himself with the hospitalization procedures.

Fortunately, the son of the hospital dean was on duty today. He had learned the family’s traditional orthopedic techniques from his father and grandfather since he was a child. He quickly treated Ma Long’s fracture and applied a plaster cast to prevent him from moving his hand and affecting his recovery.

Once Ma Long was hooked up to an IV, Xu Yang said, “Ma Long, give a call to that little ghost girl at your house to come and take care of you. Otherwise, with your right hand plastered and your left hand carrying an IV, how are you going to manage going to the toilet?”

Soon after.

The little ghost girl arrived.

“Ding!”

“The female ghost was frightened, merit points +20.”

“Ding…”

As soon as the ghost girl saw Xu Yang, she trembled in fear. Xu Yang instructed her briefly, saying, “Alright, Ma Long, you rest well. I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”

When Xu Yang left, a lecherous smile appeared at the corner of Ma Long’s mouth, laughingly saying, “Xiao Hong, close the door.”

The female ghost obediently closed the door of the ward.

Ma Long then said, “My hand feels itchy; can you help me scratch it?”

“Is it here?”

This female ghost had been a brothel worker in her previous life and had been doing this for more than a decade before and after her death. She was very experienced in these matters. She immediately put her hand into Ma Long’s clothes. With a seductive and shy expression on her face, she coquettishly said, “Is it here, sir?”

At 4 a.m.

Xu Yang returned to the villa.

Inside the villa, the lights were bright, and Yun Mengxi, Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, and the two Miss Yues were all awake. They had ordered a lot of takeout and were sitting on the sofa watching a drama series.

As soon as he entered the villa, Xu Yang heard the familiar music coming from the TV-

Life dreams are like long roads

Let the frost and snow stay on one’s face

How many directions are there in the mortal world’s dreams?

“Huh?”

“Are you watching A Chinese Ghost Story?”

Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh: “It’s interesting for a group of ghosts to watch A Chinese Ghost Story.”

Yue Yuluo, her eyes red, looked up and said, “My husband, this drama is so touching…”

It was touching.

Xu Yang remembered the first time he had watched the series; he had been moved by the love story between “Nie Xiaoqian” and “Ning Chaisen.” Later, in the second part, Ning Chaisen met Fu Qingfeng, Nie Xiaoqian’s reincarnation, and the ending seemed not so good…

But Fu Qingfeng was not the little ghost girl from Lanruo Temple!

Xu Yang didn’t disturb the women and went back to his bedroom.

On a whim, he opened the system attribute panel:

[Name]: Xu Yang

[Age]: 22years old

[Cultivation Method]: Divine Ascension Scripture

[Daoist Skills]: Fire Manipulation Skill (Entering Dao Realm), Water Manipulation Skill (Entering Dao Realm), Wulei Rules (Entering Dao Realm), Paper Cutting Skill (Entering Dao Realm), Earth Escape Skill.

[Martial Arts]: Land Flight Skill (minor accomplishment), Soul Searching, Disguise Art.

[Cultivation Level]: Middle Stage of Entering Dao Realm

[Daoist Artifacts]: Supreme Purification Seal (Daoist artifact), Big Iron Hammer (Superior Daoist artifact)

[Merit Points]: 16,800 points

[Storage Space]: 100 cubic yards.

“Merit points are almost at 20,000…”

“I can soon activate the 10 Achievement Gift Package…”

Xu Yang glanced at the system attribute panel at the bottom and saw that he was only short of more than 5,000 merit points to activate the “10 Achievement Gift Package.” He immediately took out the demon-sealing bottle and released the painting ghost.

“Ding!”

“Painting Ghost got frightened. Merit points +20, Disguise Art +1.”

The moment he appeared, he knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. Xu Yang smiled and said indifferently, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you die so easily unless I’ve squeezed you dry!”

After tormenting the ghost for twenty minutes, Xu Yang finally earned 1,400 merit points.

Unable to bear it any longer, the painting ghost burst into a wisp of blue smoke and vanished into the mortal world.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations! You have done a good deed in helping the deceased cross over. Reward: merit points +200.”

With the system prompt ringing in his mind, Xu Yang finally went to sleep satisfied.

While he was sleeping, his phone suddenly rang. He blindly groped around on the bedside table, picked up the phone, and asked, “Who is it?”

On the other end of the line, Feng Zhaoqing’s voice came through:

“Master Xu, something terrible has happened!”

“There’s another case.”

Xu Yang, yawning, asked, “What kind of case?”

Feng Zhaoqing: “It’s the same as yesterday; it’s still the painting ghost’s doing. Only this time, there are two victims…”

Xu Yang suddenly became alert and exclaimed, “That’s impossible. I’ve already killed that painting ghost… Is there more than one painting ghost in Wu City? Where is the crime scene? I’m on my way!”
