Chapter 182: Chapter 0182: Gongsun Sheng Teaches the Way

Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan saw Long Fei’s startled and flustered appearance, their curiosity piqued as they furrowed their brows, thinking he was just playing a prank on purpose.

But Long Fei, with a look of shock on his face, asked them, "Did neither of you hear someone talking?"

"No?"

"Who was talking?"

Both of them shook their heads, giving him curious glances.

"How is that possible? There was definitely a very sleazy voice talking to me."

Long Fei’s eyes widened, wondering if he had somehow offended the deity of the Matchmaking Temple by smashing it, and now that deity had come to find trouble with him.

As the saying goes, he who takes gifts or money is expected to return favors.

The deity of the Matchmaking Temple received people’s incense offerings on a daily basis; perhaps it would really stand up for these scoundrels.

"Your joke isn’t funny at all!"

Lin Yingying gave him a look and continued to explore ahead.

Lin Shanshan giggled at Long Fei and followed her sister away.

Long Fei called out to them, "You have to believe me!"

He furrowed his brows and stared at the old locust tree, then, mustering his courage, reached out to touch it again.

The voice sounded once more, "You brat, how dare you call my voice sleazy? If I were still alive, I’d thrash your behind until it’s mushy!"

Long Fei shuddered in fright, quickly withdrawing his hand and bowing deeply to the great locust tree, "Tree Grandpa, you are my dear Grandpa. I misspoke, please let me go! We can chat another day, goodbye to you now!"

He tried to run away but found he couldn’t move his feet at all, as if his legs were rooted to the ground.

The voice coughed twice, then said, "Don’t be afraid, I am just a wisp of consciousness. After completing my mission, I will dissipate automatically!"

"Consciousness?"

Long Fei’s eyes widened in curiosity as he asked, "Whose consciousness?"

The voice lectured, "What a silly question. In Seven Stars Temple, who else besides me, Gongsun Sheng, could leave behind a consciousness?"

"Cloud Piercer, Gongsun Sheng?"

Long Fei’s teeth chattered, feeling as if he had seen a ghost, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

Although he was endowed with special abilities, having great strength didn’t mean he could fight ghosts!

Long Fei’s eyes darted around, now eager only to leave, and he said very politely, "Elder Gongsun, I know you must be lonely down there. Tomorrow I’ll go up the mountain to burn more paper money for you. I’ve done nothing to wrong you recently or in the past, please don’t bully me, let me go, okay?"

The voice sounded exasperated, "I’ve been waiting and waiting, and this is the kind of spineless descendant I get. I’m not looking to take advantage of you. Why are you so nervous?"

"Really?"

Long Fei subconsciously hugged himself, feeling like a beauty encountering a pervert.

The voice said flatly, "Alright, enough nonsense. Sit down, hold your breath and concentrate. I will impart to you the ’The Comprehensive Guide to Qi Refinement,’ ’The Supreme Five Thunders Method,’ as well as ’The Shennong Herbology’ and ’The Myriad Formations and Runes Chart.’"

Long Fei clicked his tongue, not sure what the old man was getting at.

He never believed in pies falling from the sky.

Intrigued, he asked, "Elder Gongsun, you have so many disciples and grandchildren, why insist on passing this onto me?"

The voice sighed, "I deduced from the heavenly secrets that a great calamity will occur in the human realm during this lifetime, and only the chosen one can avert it. You are that chosen one, no one else is suited to bear this responsibility."

"Calamity?"

Long Fei was stunned for a moment, not expecting a figure from a millennium ago to predict events of this era.

If he hadn’t recently undergone some changes himself, he would’ve never believed any of this.

The voice asked him, "Do you have any other questions?"

Long Fei thought for a moment and then asked, "Is the story of the heroes of Liangshan true?"

"Heroes my ass, it’s all made-up nonsense, a bunch of thieves!"

The voice cursed, revealing a fiery temper.

"I got it, do as you please!"

Long Fei swallowed, closed his eyes, and didn’t dare to make a sound anymore, surrendering his 108 kg weight.

After a while, his head buzzed like it was electrified, and a strong consciousness forced its way in.

It was like data from a USB drive, constantly copying itself into his brain.

In the distance, Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan had made their rounds of the major halls and saw Long Fei cross-legged on the ground, both of them stared wide-eyed.

Lin Shanshan called out, "Could brother-in-law have really seen a ghost?"

Lin Yingying gave her a look and said, "Can you stop with the nonsense titles? When did he become your brother-in-law?"

Lin Shanshan covered her mouth and trailed behind, making her way to Long Fei.

Lin Yingying shouted to Long Fei, "Get up, it’s time for us to go!"

Long Fei kept his eyes closed and said nothing.

Lin Yingying frowned and said in frustration, "Are you addicted to playing ghost now?"

She pushed Long Fei with her hand and suddenly her head buzzed, "Young girl, do not disturb my transmission of teachings!"

Lin Yingying’s body jolted, and she screamed, quickly stepping back two paces.

Lin Shanshan laughed at her and said, "Sister, you’re quite good at playing along, aren’t you?"

Lin Yingying was almost scared faint, not in the mood for jokes, she cried out in a panic, "There’s a ghost, a real ghost!"

"What’s that?"

Seeing Lin Yingying’s serious expression, Lin Shanshan felt a twinge of fear in her heart.

She looked around. Though the sun was setting behind West Mountain, it wasn’t dark yet!

Don’t ghosts and goblins have to wait until nighttime to appear?

Lin Yingying told her, "If you touch this guy, you’ll hear someone talking to you!"

Lin Shanshan was scared by her words, but couldn’t help her curiosity and reached out to touch Long Fei’s face.

With a snap, Long Fei caught her hand.

Lin Shanshan screamed in fright, closed her eyes, and repeatedly yelled, "It’s over, it’s over, I’ve been caught by a ghost!"

"Shanshan, don’t scare me!"

Lin Yingying was so frightened that she covered her eyes too.

Long Fei opened his eyes and laughed at them, "What are you doing?"

Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan, hearing his voice, steadied their nerves and squinted at him.

Long Fei was still Long Fei, he hadn’t turned into a ghost.

Both of them let out a sigh of relief, their legs somewhat weak as they sat down on the ground.

Lin Yingying asked him shakily, "Who was the person talking just now?"

Long Fei coughed dryly. Daoist Master Gongsun had just finished imparting the teachings to him, the old man specifically instructed him not to reveal his powers casually in front of others, to avoid bringing disaster upon himself.

He chuckled and made up an excuse, "I was just pretending, trying to scare you for fun!"

Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan exchanged a look, pouted, and were preparing to kick him.

Long Fei quickly got up and slipped away, laughing lightly at them, "Don’t be mad, it was just a joke!"

"You scoundrel!"

"Shameless!"

The two beauties were almost scared to death, they gritted their teeth and really wanted to bite him.

After calming down, they stood up to leave, ignoring Long Fei.

Long Fei followed behind them, looking back at the large pagoda tree.

The pagoda tree remained the same, but the consciousness was no longer there.

Daoist Master Gongsun had kept his consciousness in the tree for a thousand years, all to wait for a person with fate to come along and resolve a great calamity in the Human Realm.

Although Long Fei thought the matter was rather unreliable, he admired his spirit of caring for all living beings.
