The Orthodox Transmission System One Hundred and Three: Return

  Mao Shanming noticed this situation and was also greatly shocked. His feet involuntarily retreated continuously, wanting to escape the ghost's capture.

  But his movements were no match for the ghost's speed, and in the blink of an eye, the ghost had already reached his side, its claws swiping at him.

  "Sizzling" a sudden sound, as if hot oil had met water, the ghostly figure suddenly retreated several steps. It turned out that the talisman on Mao Shanming's body had taken effect, and the evil-repelling power of the talisman had scalded her.

  Mao Shanming was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the talismans on his body and burst out laughing. "Haha, you're really unlucky! You think you can catch me? I'd like to see how you plan to do that!" As he spoke, he swayed back and forth in front of Gui Xie, twisting his waist and patting his chest, leaving the three people on one side staring at him in a daze.

  But as the saying goes, "Extreme joy begets sorrow". At this moment, Mao Shan Ming was shaking his body, but the talismans on his body were slowly falling off one by one, and when they fell to the ground, they were blown away by the gentle breeze.

  The ghost demon didn't have a head, but its perception was still extremely sharp. With its full attention, it could clearly perceive that the exorcising power on Mao Shan Ming's body was gradually decreasing. Suddenly, it felt great joy in its heart, and the ghost claw reached out to grab him again.

  His paws moved as swiftly as lightning, and in just a twinkling of an eye, Mao Shanming was caught.

  "Ah, save me! Save me!"

  Jiū Shū and Bái Yǔ couldn't help but shake their heads at the sight. Who let you show off earlier, now look where it got you, caught! Although they felt helpless in their hearts, the two still wanted to save him. At this moment, Jiū Shū shouted loudly: "You can't escape today, so just put down the person in your hands honestly. I'll help you attain enlightenment later."

  The demon seemed to have heard his voice. The trachea that burst in the air squeezed out a cold hum, and then she swung her claws violently, directly throwing Maoshan Ming towards the erected symbol flag. As soon as Maoshan Ming's body weight hit the symbol flag, it instantly knocked out an exit from the symbol flag.

  Fell to the ground, Mao Shanming suddenly groaned in pain. For a while, he couldn't get up, apparently having been badly hurt from the fall.

  "Hahaha..." At this time, a hoarse and unpleasant laugh came out of the ghost's throat, as if she was extremely happy. Immediately, her body swayed and she drilled towards that exit.

  At this time, Ah Qiang, who was closer to her, reflected and checked the talismans on his body. He found that most of them were still there, and he suddenly felt a wave of relief. With a fierce tiger-like pounce, he rushed towards the ghost, apparently wanting to use these talismans to scorch the evil spirit to death.

  However, his strength was far inferior to that of the ghost. His movements were completely unable to keep up with the ghost's pace, and he only saw the ghost dodge this attack in an instant, and then continued to move towards the prison without slowing down.

  Seeing the ghost actually heading towards this prison, Bai Yu's hand which was originally going to make a move stopped, and his eyes stared straight at the ghost's movements. Because he discovered that now is an opportunity to complete two tasks at once, so he decided to finish these two tasks in one go this time.

  At this time, A Qiang crawled up from the ground, covering his painful spot and wailing loudly.

  His ninth uncle came before him with a tense expression and asked with concern: "How are you?"

  A Qiang took a deep breath, saying: "Master, I'm fine, but that ghost was really fast. It didn't catch her and even threw me away." Then he covered his painful spot and let out a series of mournful cries.

  "Uncle Jiu snorted and said, 'You're getting what you deserve. You don't have any skills, yet you come here to meddle. In the end, you'll ruin something that was originally good. Why don't you just retreat to the side?' However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that this was just a contradiction between his words and heart."

  Jiu Shu came before Mao Shanming again and asked: "Brother Dao, how are you feeling? Is everything all right?"

  The force of that ghostly blow was enormous, if it wasn't for Mao Shanming's cultivation being somewhat decent, he might have already been crippled. Enduring the pain, Mao Shanming stood up and said: "This unlucky ghost is really hard to deal with, this one blow almost left me crippled, ah, my mother."

  Looking at his expression, both Jiū Shū and ā Qiáng felt a bit amused. Jiū Shū shook his head and said, "As long as you're fine, Brother Dao, don't come near again." Maoshan Ming naturally accepted Jiū Shū's words with pleasure, hastily brushing off the dust on his body before retreating to the side.

  Bai Yu's eyes didn't leave Gui Ya, who was unlocking the chains for his brothers in the cell. Meanwhile, Bai Yu's hands weren't idle either; he had already bitten open a finger with his teeth and written a lightning character on another hand.

  In the cell, the ghost was having trouble unlocking the chain because it didn't have a head. After feeling around for half a day, it still couldn't find the lock's position. The more anxious it became, the more flustered it got. Meanwhile, the two bandits who were tied up hadn't recognized the ghost's true identity, probably because its appearance had changed too much from when it was human. They were shocked and frightened in their hearts. Although they were sorcerers and had seen ghosts before, this was the first time they'd seen one without a head, with only one hand, and emitting such a massive killing aura. Their first reaction was that this ghost had come to devour them.

  All they did was shake their heads and look frightened.

  At this time, Bai Yu's palm thunder was also ready. "Dodge" was all he heard as he let out a loud roar, and his palm aimed directly at the ghostly figure of the two horse bandits. A burst of lightning shot out, shining brightly like fireworks in the dark night, but these flashes of lightning struck them with extremely high speed, causing smoke to rise from their bodies, accompanied by the mournful cries of the ghostly figure and the two horse bandits.

  After the lightning and smoke slowly dissipated, the miserable appearance of one ghost and two horse bandits was revealed. Only a pile of ashes and two charred corpses were left, the ashes were naturally those of the ghost, and the charred corpses were the two horse bandits. It seemed that they had truly met their end this time.

  Just then, the system's voice also rang out in a timely manner:

  "Complete the task, eliminate the remaining horse thieves, and get 1000 exchange points."

  "Complete the task, eliminate the evil spirit, get 1000 exchange points, and randomly draw a prize once."

  Upon hearing the system's prompt, Bai Yu let out a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced in his heart that this mission was finally completed.

  At this time, Ninth Uncle and Mao Shan Ming A Qiang three people came to his side, Ninth Uncle looked at the charred corpse in front of him, shook his head and sighed: "The crime is deep, heaven can't forgive."

  A Qiang and Mao Shanming exchanged a glance, then A Qiang smiled at Bai Yu and said: "Bai Daozhang, I have something to ask of you."

  Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked: "What's going on?"

  A Qiang seemed a bit embarrassed, rubbed his hands and said: "That, Bai Daozhang, can you teach me that Palm Thunderbolt technique?" But before he could even finish speaking, Jiu Shu's eyes widened in anger, and he snorted: "Your ambition is not small, but you haven't even mastered the minor techniques I taught you, yet you're already thinking of learning the Thunder Law? Even if I were to teach you, do you have the talent to learn it?"

  Being scolded, Ah Qiang didn't dare to make a sound anymore, and just stood aside with his head down. But Mao Shanming was secretly laughing on the side.

  Then Ninth Uncle glared at Ah Qiang again, and smiled at Bai Yu: "Fellow Taoist, this time it's hard on you, why don't we go back and rest for a while? Later I'll let Ah Qiang call up a few dishes, and we can celebrate our success this time."

  "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Dao," said Bai Yu with a nod and a smile.

  When walking again, Ninth Uncle arranged for Ah Qiang: "You quickly arrange for someone to cremate these two charred corpses. Although they were struck dead by heavenly lightning, with the remaining baleful energy in their bodies, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any problems. It's better to be cautious." After finishing speaking, he went with Bai Yu and Mao Shan Ming to the front room to drink tea and chat.

  Not long after, Ah Qiang had already set up a table of banquet, and brought out a jar of good wine, calling Bai Yu and others to come over and drink together. Just as they were drinking, the last prompt from the system also came through.

  "Within twelve hours, the host will return."

  Upon hearing this hint, Bai Yu hesitated for a moment and said to Jiu Shu: "Brother Dao, let's consider this table as our farewell wine too. By tomorrow morning, I should also be leaving."

  Jiu Shu's face stiffened and he said, "Brother Dao, are you not used to living here?"

  Bai Yu chuckled and shook his head, "It's not that, we cultivators can't stay in one place for too long. Since I started practicing the Dao, I've been traveling all over the place. I won't be stopping here either, tomorrow I'll set off again to roam the four seas."

  Jiu Shu heard this and was immediately filled with admiration, saying: "Brother Dao is indeed kind-hearted, in the not-too-distant future you will surely ascend to the realm of a great master, achieving a beautiful story, I am inferior to you." He then sighed and said: "Since you're leaving tomorrow, I won't stop you, today we'll have a night of drinking until we're drunk, how about it?"

  Bai Yu nodded happily and said: "Alright, but fellow Taoist doesn't have to worry, one day I will definitely come back to see you again, at that time we can discuss the Tao together."

  That night, because they would be parting ways the next day, Bai Yujiu and Ah Qiang Mao Shanming were all drunk, one by one until they fell asleep on the wine table, and it wasn't until dawn that they woke up. Only Bai Yu got up early because he had drunk less the night before.

  Looking at everyone who was fast asleep, he didn't disturb them and quietly left a letter, leaving alone. He first left the town and came to a place with no human habitation, then suddenly had a change of heart and chose to return.
