Chapter 267 Donghuang Conference
Afterwards, Master Chen led everyone to find the Night Demon Spirit, who had completely lost the ability to move. He took out a yellow talisman from his pocket, on which some kind of red talisman was drawn, and slapped it on the Night Demon Spirit and the Wandering Night Spirit that had been defeated and subdued by Mary.
He then took out a yellow bell from his sleeve and gently shook it in his hand.
Ding ding.
Accompanied by the ringing of bells, the Night Demon and the Wandering Night Spirit, who were lying on the ground, rose straight up from the ground in a Michael Jackson-esque manner.
Red hat, yellow talisman, this zongzi is just right.
Wei Xin was puzzled: why was this Wudang Mountain Taoist using Maoshan magic?
"Hmm, it seems there are no problems. I'll take these two back to Wudang Mountain to perform rituals to release their resentment."
"Wait a minute, Taoist priest, I have another one here."
Wei Xin released the Night Watch Spirit and presented it to the Taoist priest.
"Let their family be reunited too."
"Reunion?" The Taoist priest stared at the Night Watch Spirit in Wei Xin's hand. Both of them tilted their heads in confusion. "This couple didn't even share a room or have a wedding ceremony before they died. They shouldn't have had any children, right? Let me calculate it."
Master Chen pinched his fingers, and after a while, he showed an expression of sudden realization.
"This night-patrol spirit was formed from a wandering spirit in nature. It has no resentment and can be considered a pure Xiang Piaopiao for now."
"Xiangpiaopiao?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback, not quite realizing that the Taoist priest wanted to drink milk tea.
"The ghosts that formed in western Hunan are called Xiang Piao Piao," the Taoist priest explained earnestly.
God-like horse, Xiang Piao Piao!
For some reason, everyone felt that the temperature in western Hunan suddenly dropped, and they wrapped their clothes tighter around themselves.
"In short, there's no need to take this night watchman spirit to Wudang Mountain. Since you're destined to have it, keep it with you."
The Taoist priest fumbled in his sleeve for a moment, then pulled a yellow talisman from his pocket and stuck it on the patrolling spirit's forehead: "Give him this talisman to prevent any accidents from happening to him."
"This matter started because of Wudang Mountain, so let Wudang Mountain clean it up afterwards."
The Taoist priest put the Night Demon and the Wandering Dusknoir into their Poké Balls.
"It's getting late, so I'll treat you all to a big meal in the city as a reward."
After news of the Night Demon's elimination spread, the previously chaotic ancient city gradually returned to calm. Although those affected by the Night Demon's life force were still unconscious in the hospital, according to Master Chen, the people of Wudang Mountain had a way to treat them.
Since Wudang Mountain can treat difficult and complicated diseases and has a good understanding of waveguides, Wei Xin wondered if he could ask them to cure Lusamine's hysteria.
"Sorry, I can't."
After listening to Wei Xin's description, the Taoist priest gave a negative answer.
"While waveguides can stimulate the body, unleash potential, and make up for deficiencies, they are not omnipotent and cannot interfere with a fully formed consciousness. In fact, I would recommend that you use modern therapies such as hypnosis and psychotherapy, and don't believe in any so-called Eastern folk remedies. Feudal superstition is not advisable."
Wei Xin:
'
'
Is it really appropriate for a Taoist priest to talk about feudal superstition?
"Even if it can't be cured, don't worry too much. Every cloud has a silver lining. I just did some calculations, and it might be a blessing in disguise for that lady."
"Really?" Wei Xin asked.
"Yes, Master's fortune telling is always very accurate," Gladio nodded.
Mary became interested upon hearing this, put down her chopsticks, and raised her hand.
"Master, since you can tell fortunes, could you tell my fortune?"
"Sure, everyone has been a great help to Wudang Mountain. Today, all services—fortune telling, blessings, and answering questions—are free. Miss Mary, what would you like to have your fortune told? Your marriage with your boyfriend?"
"Yes!"
When the Taoist priest casually revealed what she was thinking, Mary showed an excited and happy expression, but at the same time she was a little worried. What if the result of the calculation was not good?
Wei Xin took Mary's hand and said gently, "Don't worry, I'm here with you."
A good result means the Taoist priest has profound Taoist skills.
The result was not good.
It's feudal superstition.
Korne silently gnawed on the chicken leg, and without realizing it, she even crushed the bone.
These two are inseparable all the time, how could they not be destined to be together?
Unless Wei Xin dies suddenly.
Or perhaps because there are too many girls around, you'll be torn to pieces—which piece would you want then?
"Hiss, um... ouch."
Seeing the Taoist priest close his eyes and speak in a deep voice, Mary's heart suddenly jumped.
Could it be that I and Wei Xin are not meant to be, or that they will encounter an accident?
Until the Taoist priest spoke.
"Don't worry, young lady, the red thread between you two is very strong. If you hold both ends tightly, no one can break it. Moreover, your career will be very successful because of it."
"That's great." Mary's heart finally settled down.
Master Chen glanced at Wei Xin, who read his thoughts.
[Hehe, there are so many red threads, it looks like little red rice dumplings.]
It's my fault.
Do you think I should give your girlfriend a Taoist marriage certificate?
"I was wrong, Taoist priest," Wei Xin silently knelt down in his heart.
Taoist marriage certificates are presented to the Heavenly Court, reported to the Underworld, and even petitioned the Nine Heavens.
Given the number of suitors he has, signing a contract with them would probably be the death of him on the spot.
"Master Chen, you said you were going down the mountain to take care of something. What was it?" Wei Xin changed the subject.
"It's nothing major," Master Chen said, taking a sip of tea. "It's just that the first Donghuang Conference is about to be held, so the alliance contacted us, the heads of the Taoist temples, to hold a meeting."
The news from the Taoist priest shocked everyone.
"The Eastern Empire Tournament!"
Although Donghuang has been preparing for the Donghuang Conference, specific details and information have not been released.
"Well, since you're here, I might as well give you a heads-up. This year's Donghuang Tournament is divided into two stages. The first stage adopts an off-road elimination system. Simply put, all contestants start from a designated city and follow a designated route. Along the way, they need to defeat other contestants and obtain their points to advance to the next city."
The Taoist priest took a sip of tea.
"Is it that complicated?" Wei Xin asked, puzzled.
In other regions, participants directly qualify for the competition after obtaining eight badges.
"There's nothing we can do. There are just too many contestants from Donghuang. We made a rough estimate, and including local contestants and contestants from other regions, the number of participants in the preliminary rounds alone for this competition exceeds 100,000."
Gladion: "One hundred thousand! The total population of Alola is less than one hundred thousand."
"There are many people in Donghuang, including students and employees. Moreover, it is the first conference, attracting widespread attention. Many schools, enterprises, and organizations are eyeing the title of the first Donghuang Conference champion, so the competition is fierce. As a result, the prestige is also very high."
The league has tried its best to screen players, but unfortunately the pool of applicants is too large.
Wei Xin: "Has the specific time and location been decided?"
"It's been decided. The first stage will begin in mid-July, which is during the summer vacation, and will last for more than a month. In the end, 64 players from each route will be selected to advance to the second stage, which will be held in Shanghai. The alliance should release the news in a couple of days."
"The competition starts on the 15th of July—" Mary counted the time on her fingers.
Wei Xin: "What about the battle system used in the finals?"
The Taoist priest said, "The current discussion has resulted in a single limitation across the entire system. Well, it means that it can be used with Crystallization, Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Z-Moves. It's just for fun."
"The Z-Move League has already discussed it with Professor Kukui of Alola. For Dynamax, the Dynamax mine that Wei Xin found in Shanxi has filled the gap. We are now contacting Paddia to develop it. As for Dynamax, I came down the mountain specifically to deal with this matter. After that, I will go to Yunnan."
Wei Xin: "Yunnan, looking for Gigantamax mushrooms?"
The Taoist priest nodded: "Young friend Wei Xin is indeed knowledgeable. Max Mushrooms originate from the earth's veins. As long as we find the source, we can completely unleash the Max Aura."
"Master, are you free right now? Would you like to have a dojo battle with me?"
Participants from other regions need eight badges to participate in the Donghuang Tournament.
Mary calculated that she was still missing three, and it would be a daunting task to collect them all in about two months.
Since the Taoist priest has already come...
How many badges do you have now?
Five.
"Five, that's enough." The Taoist priest took out a square iron box from his sleeve, inside which were many black and white badges in the shape of a Bagua formation. "Just take them."
"May I?"
Mary was puzzled.
Is it possible to obtain badges without engaging in battles?
"No problem. If you can beat the other gym leaders, you can beat me. Anyway, the badges aren't worth much. Here, one for each of you," the Taoist priest distributed the badges to everyone. "Consider them as souvenirs."
"As for the next gym to challenge, I recommend you try the Fujian Water Gym."
"Why? Because water-type gym leaders are stronger." Marie carefully put the badge into the badge box.
"No, it's because he was thinking about me in his mind during the meeting," the Taoist priest said pettily. "Unfortunately, the league rules prohibit dojo masters from fighting each other. The tournament is still two months away, and I can't wait. Consider this my request to you, and give him a heavy blow."
