Chapter 345: 237: Is that doctor's surname Wan?



Ma Long poked his head over and looked at it, exclaiming in surprise, “Wait… aren’t there any words on it?”

“It’s called the Wordless Heavenly Book… isn’t it normal for it not to have words?”

Xu Yang said with a smile, though feeling somewhat puzzled. He originally thought that “Wordless Heavenly Book” was just a name, but he didn’t expect it to actually be “wordless”!

He looked at the young girl.

The young girl had been silently crying, immersed in the grief of her grandpa’s passing, but now she awkwardly shook her head.

Ever since she could remember, her grandpa had been researching this thing.

Over the years, they tried various methods…

Such as soaking in water, burning, exposing it to the sun, and even once, her grandpa had stolen a microscope from a junior high school’s chemistry laboratory… but still couldn’t find even half a word!

Therefore, she felt that her grandpa asking her to provide the “Wordless Heavenly Book” for Master Xu to see in order to find Master Xu was a scam.

“Oh?”

Xu Yang, however, became even more interested in the “secret book” in his hand after hearing this.

He rubbed the pages of the white paper with his fingers, and found that it felt like ordinary paper.

But since it could withstand soaking and burning, how could it be just ordinary paper?

“Your Trickster Sect ancestors, did none of them ever cultivate the mysterious arts from the Wordless Heavenly Book?”

Xu Yang asked curiously.

The young girl thought for a moment and replied, “I remember my grandpa once said that our Trickster Sect was able to become one of the most glorious sects in ancient Da Xia because of this Wordless Heavenly Book… so I think our ancestors did succeed in cultivating it.”

“Grandpa said that no one in the later generations could cultivate it because the method to activate the ‘Wordless Heavenly Book’ was lost after the spiritual aura dried up… and also because their cultivation level was not high enough.”

Xu Yang nodded.

This explanation was quite consistent with his speculation.

He put away the “Wordless Heavenly Book” and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll keep the Wordless Heavenly Book for now. If I can actually figure out something, I won’t hide it from you.”

They chatted for a bit.

The sadness on the young girl’s face had faded a lot, and she asked, “Master Xu, do you know where my grandpa’s body is? I want to see him.”

Xu Yang replied, “Using my Daoist skills, I examined Guan Yun’s memory. Your grandpa engaged in a magical duel against Pang Sihua and ultimately died when his oil ran out… After your grandpa’s death, they collected his body and buried it in a wasteland near Silver City. How about I take you there to find it tomorrow?”

The young girl kowtowed and thanked him again.

She was young, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

But she possessed a kind of strength that her peers didn’t have, probably because she had been wandering the martial world with her grandpa for years… This inevitably reminded Xu Yang of himself!

When his old master had passed away, Xu Yang was also heartbroken, but in the end, he had to grit his teeth and deal with his old master’s funeral affairs and take care of the shop his old master left behind.

They chatted for a bit more.

Xu Yang learned that the young girl’s name was Wu Yueya, and she had just turned 17 last month.

When she was three years old, her parents died in a car accident, and she had lived with her grandpa ever since. When she was little, she had already wandered the streets performing tricks with her grandpa.

“At that time, my grandpa performed tricks at the village fair, and I would hold the gong and ask the audience for rewards…”

“That’s why, when I was little, I loved weekends and holidays the most.”

“Because it was only on weekends and holidays that grandpa would take me to perform at the fair.”

From the side, Ma Long muttered quietly, “Who didn’t like weekends and winter and summer vacations when they were little?”

Seeing Xu Yang glare at him, he smiled sheepishly and closed his mouth.

After finishing junior high school at the age of 15, Yueya had traveled the martial world with her grandpa. She had practiced martial arts, but her qualifications in martial arts were not very strong. So far, she had not even entered the third realm of the “Body Refining Four Realms.”

However, she had mastered all the tricks her grandfather knew.

Soon after.

Day broke.

Xu Yang had Ma Long drive, picked up himself, Ma Xiaotiao, and Yueya, and went to Silver City together.

Because he obtained Guan Yun’s memory, he quickly found the location of Yueya’s grandpa’s body in a wasteland near Silver City. In front of the simple mound of earth, stood a wooden tablet with the words “Tomb of Wu Lingzhi, the Thirty-seventh Generation Successor of the Trickster Sect.”

Yueya knelt in front of the tomb and cried for a long time. Then with her hands, she cleared away the mound and dug out her grandfather’s body.

The corpse was brought back to Wu City, where Xu Yang arranged for a simple funeral for Wu Lingzhi. Then he arranged for Wu Yueya to stay at the funeral shop, saying, “You’ll work with Ma Xiaotiao to help me run the shop. Your salary will be 5,000 dollars per month.”

“Including room and board.”

“If you feel inconvenient, you can let Ma Xiaotiao rent a place for you nearby… As for meals, you can go to a restaurant and the shop will reimburse you.”

“Thank you, Master Xu.”

After Wu Yueya thanked him, her tone changed and she said, “There’s plenty of space on the second floor, so there’s no need to rent a place outside. Besides, the kitchen has everything… For meals, I can cook for myself.”

Xu Yang asked, “Living with Ma Xiaotiao in the shop as a boy and a girl, won’t that be inconvenient?”

Before Yueya could respond, Ma Xiaotiao hurriedly said, “No problem, no problem… Yueya can stay on the second floor, I can sleep on the ground floor!”

Xu Yang couldn’t help but smile.

This little guy…

At a young age, he already showed great potential to be a “licking dog.”

He immediately took out a wad of cash from his pocket and threw it to Ma Xiaotiao, saying, “I’ll watch the shop today, so I’ll give you a day off. Take Yueya to buy some clothes and daily necessities.”

When the two young people left the funeral shop, Xu Yang pulled up a chair and sat down at the entrance, propping up his legs and lighting a cigarette as he dozed off.

As he watched the busy street, Xu Yang couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion…

Before meeting Liu Shishi, he used to enjoy sitting outside like this, basking in the sun.

Now that he thought about it, those days were leisurely as well.

The shop had barely enough business, but he was able to save a little every month by cutting corners on his own food and drink. Even though it was a small amount, at least he felt happy.

Of course.

Xu Yang felt happier than before.

It was 3 pm at the moment.

Xu Yang sat outside for a while, preparing to return to the shop, but saw his Biyadi “Song” parked on the side of the road.

Liu Shishi opened the car door and took out a lunch box from the back seat.

“Madam, how come you’re here?”

Xu Yang stepped forward and took the lunch box.

Liu Shishi smiled and said, “You haven’t been home for a whole day and night, I was worried that you’d be too busy cultivating and forget to eat, so I made you your favorite braised pork and brought it over.”

Xu Yang immediately hugged Liu Shishi and kissed her on the face.

Shishi blushed and scolded, “Hey… my husband, there are so many people watching on the street!”

“So what?”

Xu Yang didn’t care, he looked proud and said, “I’m kissing my own wife, is that illegal?”

They entered the funeral shop.

Xu Yang couldn’t wait to open the lunch box and started eating with big bites.

He told Shishi about what happened yesterday, and she said, “Trickster Sect? I’ve heard of that sect… I remember my grandfather had invited some performers from Trickster Sect to perform tricks at his birthday party.”

Liu Shishi came from a wealthy family.

Her “Liu Clan” was already a prominent local family in that era, and her grandfather later held a high official position, so it was perfectly normal to invite opera troupes or trick performers to his residence for celebrations.

“Back then, Trickster Sect was the largest organization among the people, its influence was so wide that it was on par with the Beggars’ Alliance, and you could see them perform tricks in almost any city.”

Shishi felt nostalgic and sighed, “Time has passed, and I didn’t expect the current Trickster Sect to decline to this point.”

“It’s just a different era.”

Xu Yang said, “With the depletion of spiritual aura, many ancient circus tricks can’t be performed without the support of mystical skills, and the tradition gradually faded…later generations’ tricks and magic were performed with the help of props.”

“But magic is meant to be appreciated in a theater, young people can learn a few tricks to pick up girls.”

“While trick performances take place on the streets and require a strong foundation, years or even decades of hard training!”

“Many people’s ideas are different nowadays, they’d rather spend a few hundred or even thousands of dollars to buy tickets for a magic show…instead of gathering on the streets to cheer for the trick masters.”

Xu Yang sighed, “Maybe in their eyes, spending money to watch magic in a theater is more elegant than watching trick performances on the streets, it’s just a pity for the things our ancestors left behind…”

After eating a piece of braised pork.

Xu Yang continued, “The reason I kept Yue Ya was to preserve some of Trickster Sect’s legacy, so as not to let our ancestors’ skills be lost.”

After finishing their meal.

Xu Yang and Liu Shishi started chatting casually.

During the conversation, he learned that Yue Niang had actually taught the girls some cultivation methods suitable for Yin spirits and ghosts.

And just last night, Yue Qiluo took Yang Yin, Yue Yuluo, and Yun Mengxi out with her.

“What did they go out for?”

“I heard that there are still a few self-proclaimed Ghost Kings and ferocious ghosts in our Xi Xia territory, who refuse to be disciplined, so Sister Qiluo wants to take this opportunity to subdue their territories and completely unify the Xi Xia ghost circle.”

“That’s good…why didn’t you go?”

Shishi smiled, “With Yue Qiluo and Yun Mengxi there, capturing those Ghost Kings and the red ghosts is a foregone conclusion…besides, if I went, who would serve my husband?”

“Hehe.”

Xu Yang chuckled evilly, picked up Liu Shishi by her waist, spat out a stream of spiritual energy to close the shop door, and went straight to the second floor, “I want you, my lady, to serve me now…”

Two hours later.

After finishing, the two of them came downstairs and reopened the shop door.

“By the way!”

Xu Yang said, “My lady, there are a few days left until the Ghost Market opens…let’s go to Helan Mountain tomorrow and dig out the Xi Xia treasure early to avoid any potential trouble.”

As they were chatting.

Feng Zhaoqing hurriedly arrived at the funeral shop.

“Supreme Sage Xu!”

“Captain Feng!”

Xu Yang saw Feng Zhaoqing looking anxious and joked, “Captain Feng, what’s the matter? Did you encounter another tricky mysterious case?”

Feng Zhaoqing bitterly smiled, “Supreme Sage Xu’s eyes are sharp, indeed nothing can be hidden from you…but I’m not sure if it’s a mysterious case this time, so I want Master Xu to take a look!”

“Oh?”

Xu Yang became interested and asked, “What kind of case is it?”

“It’s about a psychiatric patient.”

Feng Zhaoqing said, “This psychiatric patient suddenly went crazy while receiving treatment at a private psychological clinic in our Wu City, and bit to death the doctors, nurses, and his family members who accompanied him.”

Xu Yang: “Bit…bit to death?”

“Yes!”

Feng Zhaoqing said, “He indeed bit them to death, the scene was extremely gruesome…we’ve controlled the psychiatric patient, but his mental state seems to have severe problems, he keeps saying that he’s a werewolf.”

“Werewolf?”

Xu Yang repeated the word, then suddenly reacted and said, “Wait…Captain Feng, did you just say the victim was a doctor from a private psychological clinic?”

“Yes.”

Feng Zhaoqing nodded, “There are a total of eight victims, apart from the psychological doctor, there are also three nurses, two family members who accompanied the perpetrator, and two patients who were also receiving treatment at the clinic.”

“Is the doctor’s last name Wan?”
