Volume 6: Xiangxi Ghost Witch Chapter 9: After Returning

  Ouyang Xuan was getting anxious, suddenly remembered the jade flute on his body, hastily took it out and started playing.

  With a wild and unbridled air, the ancient melody of "Jiutian" burst forth in an instant, as if from a spring. The Buddhist wheel in mid-air suddenly blazed with great flames, growing larger and larger, and then emitted a mighty clap of thunder that struck down at the snake-headed staff.

  "Boom——" The snake rod couldn't withstand the suddenly enhanced power of the Dharma wheel, and with a loud crash, it was smashed back and rolled up, "plop" into the mud.

  "Great!" Ou Yang Xuan was overjoyed, and with a flicker of thought: "Dharma wheel, go!"

  The law wheel should be destined, in the pure and simple ancient rhyme of "Nine Days", with a fierce fire, cutting off the face of the spider that is holding the righteous dragon.

  The demon spider was caught off guard and let out a miserable cry as it was cut in half at the waist by the sharp Wheel of Dharma, bursting into a cloud of foul-smelling blood rain. The corpse was immediately covered by the 'Samadhi True Fire'.

  The divine dragon swooped down, its mouth wide open, and swallowed the blazing remains of the demon spider in one gulp, letting out a satisfied belch!

  Ouyang Xuan was startled, stopped playing the flute, and thought to himself: The demon spider was burned by the 'Samadhi True Fire', how dare this dragon swallow it, isn't it afraid of burning its intestines!?

  Just then, the little monk was already shouting: "Divine dragon flies to heaven, suppresses evil and eliminates demons, go! ——", pointing at Meng Cai who was staring blankly in the distance.

  The dragon roared loudly and swung its snake-like body with a swift and fierce momentum, pouncing on Meng Cai like thunder.

  Ouyang Xuan was astonished: Could it be that the divine dragon summoned by Kalan's scroll and the red leopard are both subordinates of Zhu Rong, and the fire they spit out is also Samadhi True Fire!? That's right, otherwise he would have been burned to death!

  Just then, Shen Long closed in on Meng Cai, who had a desperate look on his face. Meng Cai let out a loud cry: "You young whippersnapper, I'll fight it out with you! Hurry up!"

  The snake staff that had fallen to the ground suddenly sprang up and swooped towards the divine dragon with a whoosh.

  The dragon roared loudly and swung its giant tail, sweeping away the snake staff without a trace.

  At this moment, Meng Cai's whole body trembled, and his withered fingers danced rapidly. Suddenly, Meng Cai let out a sharp cry: "Corpse Temple Technique, Azure Dragon Annihilation!" A bloody light burst forth from Meng Cai's forehead, exploding in mid-air.

  The dragon arrived immediately, its huge claws grasped Meng Cai, and with a big mouth open, it sucked Meng Cai in entirely.

  "Whoa——" The divine dragon triumphantly let out a long, proud cry in the air and soared upwards.

  Xiao's face relaxed slightly, and the golden light of the Kalan scroll flashed in the air, instantly recalling the divine dragon from the sky. With a "thud", it fell to the ground.

  "OK!" Ouyang Xuan clenched his fist tightly.

  "Amitabha Buddha! I'm completely exhausted!" Little Quan's whole body was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of a water vat.

  Ouyang Xuan helped Xiao Xiao pick up the Buddhist beads and scrolls, smiling: "Thanks to you this time, if I were alone trying to deal with Meng Cai, I'm afraid I would have paid a not-so-small price!"

  "Just now, thanks to the master's help, it wasn't easy for Shenlong to defeat the demon spider!" Xiaoxiao took over the Buddhist beads and scroll, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said sincerely.

  "Hehe, Little Monk, the matter has been settled. I'm about to head back to BJ now. How about you? Why not come with me and join the Dragon Team together?" Ouyang Xuan chuckled as he played the role of a matchmaker, because he had discovered that this little monk was quite skilled in magic.

  "No, no, no! Little monk is a renunciate, doesn't want to be bound by worldly affairs! Patron, today you and I have a chance encounter, if we have another chance in the future, we will surely meet again. Little monk bids farewell!" With that, he bowed respectfully with his hands together in a Buddhist greeting, then headed down the mountain.

  Ouyang Xuan's face was filled with disappointment, and he sighed: "Well, let's meet again if fate permits it!"

  Just as he was about to send Little Monk away, a surge of evil energy suddenly burst forth from Qinglong Mountain, and the grass around him began to rustle with a soft "hushing" sound.

  What's going on! Ou Yang Xuan and Xiao Xiao stopped in their tracks, becoming vigilant.

  Suddenly, in the thick darkness of night, countless green light spots appeared around. Ouyang Xuan looked at it clearly and couldn't help but take a cold breath: My god, all around were snakes, dense and endless, truly worthy of being Qinglong Mountain, where there were so many snakes that they were almost a disaster!

  Xiao Xiao also saw clearly, and was also covered in cold sweat. He bitterly exclaimed: "It's all over! Master, Meng Cai used the Corpse Liberation Great Technique to summon the snake group from Qinglong Mountain before he died to avenge him. What can be done about this?"

  "Go ahead and start a massacre then!" Ouyang Xuan shouted with his eyes wide open.

  "But are these all lives? Killing Meng Cai is exorcising a demon, but killing so many snakes would be sinful!" Xiaoxiao hesitated as the snakes closed in.

  Ouyang Xuan fainted, seeing too many snakes, and said: "Little monk, if you don't want to take action, think of a way to escape quickly. Otherwise, when I start killing later, I'm afraid I'll kill you too!"

  "Does the donor have a way to deal with the snakes!?" Little monk was somewhat skeptical.

  "Get out of here!" Ou Yang Xuan was furious.

  "Alright, benefactor, Little Monk bids farewell!" With a slight stamp of his foot, the ground beneath him suddenly gave way and he disappeared into it.

  Ouyang Xuan was stunned: Earth Concealment!?

  Without hesitation, a huge group of snakes had already pounced to within several meters of Ouyang Xuan's body. Ouyang Xuan stood tall, took out the jade flute, and blew up the "Nine Heavens"!

  The inner alchemy of the body suddenly stirred, and Ouyang Xuan only felt his internal strength rapidly increasing, as if a giant beast trapped in a cage was frantically colliding with all directions to find a way out.

  Just as the snakes were about to bite Ouyang Xuan, he shouted loudly: "Kill!"

  A massive roar burst into the sky, and with this angry bellow, Ou Yang Xuan's entire body erupted in a towering inferno of flames that spread rapidly outward like a nuclear explosion.

  A fierce gust of wind howled, and the terrifying "Samadhi True Fire" stirred up a massive "wave", crazily sweeping away everything: withered grass was burned to ashes, rocks were scorched, temples were destroyed, and the snakes that came flooding in from all directions were instantly reduced to fluttering ash.

  After more than ten seconds, everything was over. Ouyang Xuan let out a loud roar, and the 'Samadhi True Fire' that was still desperately spreading outward rapidly rolled back, turning into a thin line of fire that entered Ouyang Xuan's forehead.

  Exhausted, Ouyang Xuan looked around and found that within a radius of hundreds of meters, everything had been reduced to ashes. The only things left were the mud and the thick smoke and dust that filled the air, giving off a strong smell like roasted meat that made Ouyang Xuan almost faint.

  "Plop——" Ouyang Xuan fell to the ground with a thud, his beloved Jade Xiao had been reduced to ashes in the 'Samadhi True Fire', and Ouyang Xuan couldn't help but feel some heartache.

  Suddenly, Ouyang Xuan remembered a very serious problem: he had become a light pig again, and his phone was burned out, so how to get back became an extremely difficult problem!

  "Damn it!" Ouyang Xuan sighed: "I won't be like the Mountain Top Cave people, using two large leaves to block and kill my way out, that would be too embarrassing! In the future, this kind of crazy fire-starting method should be used less, but now, how am I supposed to get out?!"

  Ouyang Xuan was in a dilemma when suddenly the ground beside him sank, and a bald head poked out from the ground. Immediately following that, Little Monk jumped out with a small leap.

  As soon as Xiaojian emerged from the ground, he was stunned, looking at the gray ash around him, like a devastating scene after a heavenly punishment. He couldn't help but turn pale and join his palms together: "Amitabha Buddha, good, good! Donor, you have killed so many lives in one go, violating the Heavenly Way, violating the Heavenly Way!"

  Ouyang Xuan curled his lip and said, "Cut it out, little monk! If I don't kill them, they'll nibble me to death!? Heh heh," Ouyang Xuan suddenly sneered twice: "Little monk, can I borrow something from you?"

  "What is it, Master?" Little Monk was taken aback.

  Ouyang Xuan rushed up, and with one swift motion, he tore off the little monk's yellow kasaya and wrapped it around his waist, laughing: "Heh heh, this is much better, thank you, thank you!"

  The little monk was speechless and smiled bitterly: "This is the temple's treasure, passed down for generations, and the donor has wrapped it around his body like this. If the Buddha knew about it, I'd be in trouble."

  "Haha, the Buddha is too busy to care about our trivial matters. Alright, you don't say it, I won't say it, and no one will know." Ouyang Xuan solved the big problem and smiled with satisfaction.

  Xiangxi Airport

  In the howling cold wind, a huge helicopter slowly descended, stirring up the dry and chilly dust on the ground, forming swirling small whirlwinds.

  Ouyang Xuan's eyebrows spread apart as he turned around and said: "Well then, everyone, I'll take my leave!"

  Secretary Zheng said with a apologetic and grateful face: "This, Comrade Ouyang, thanks to your help, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do about this matter!" As he spoke, he warmly shook Ouyang Xuan's right hand.

  "Yes," Ren Changming also said with a regretful face: "But you must hurry back, we originally wanted to entertain you properly!"

  "Haha, I have an urgent matter in BJ and must rush back. Your hospitality is appreciated! " Ouyang Xuan smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with Zheng Secretary and Ren Changming one by one, then winked at Little Monk: "Little Monk, think it over carefully, don't follow me back to Long Zu!"

  "Amitabha!" The little monk's face turned red and he hastily said, "The little monk only likes to roam the four seas, doesn't like being confined!"

  "Alright then!" Ouyang Xuan shrugged and smiled, "Secretary Zheng, Director Ren, if that little master comes to your city in the future, please take good care of him!"

  "Definitely, definitely!" Secretary Zheng and Director Ren replied in unison.

  Ouyang Xuan nodded and turned around, boarding the helicopter with his head down. He looked back at the three of them and waved goodbye.

  In an instant, the helicopter took off quickly and flew directly to BJ.

  QH University, Ou Yang Xuan's Audi sedan burst in like the wind, crushing 7 or 8 ants, 4 or 5 grasshoppers and 3 cockroaches along the way, before screeching to a halt in front of a teaching building.

  The car had just stopped when suddenly a loud bell rang out in the quiet classroom.

  "SHIT!" Ouyang Xuan's head hit the steering wheel, and he sighed: "It's over, I'm late again, the English exam is already over. Ugh, what a crappy luck! You bastard, I'll get you back another day!"

  Just then, a large number of students who had finished the exam swarmed out, some with joyful expressions, some with regretful expressions, and some with anxiety, but at least Ouyang Xuan believed that there wouldn't be anyone more miserable than him!

  "Bang bang bang" Suddenly someone knocked on the car window and shouted: "Ouyang? Ouyang?"

  Ouyang Xuan turned his head to look, but it was a worried-looking Huangfu Yiling, who opened the car window with a bitter smile and said: "Yiling, sorry, I'm late!"

  Huang Fu Yiling also shook her head with a wry smile: "I'm fine, now with your abilities, don't mention the fourth level, I believe you can pass the sixth level too. It's just that you might need to explain things to Professor Wang, he was furious when he saw you didn't show up for the exam today!"

  "Ah?!" Ou Yang Xuan was stunned, thinking of the responsible and strict old professor, couldn't help but shiver, and again buried his head on the steering wheel: "Alas, I'm dead, I'm dead. Professor Wang is usually so good to me, this time seeing my poor grades, he definitely won't let me off!"

  "This... I'm afraid it's true!" Huangfu Yiling couldn't help but worry about Ouyang Xuan: "However, Ouyang, you'd better go find Professor Wang to explain yourself. It wasn't convenient for me to speak up during the exam! Perhaps Professor Wang will let you off easy since you were on a business trip."

  "Alright!" Ouyang Xuan rubbed his aching temples, suddenly remembering something, and smiled pitifully: "A'ling, come with me! Hehe, you're the class monitor, can speak up for me!"

  "This..." Huangfu Yiling's face turned red, and she hesitated a little.

  Ouyang Xuan scratched Hei Fengyi's itchy spot with her left hand and said pitifully, "Is that good or not?"

  "Alright." Huangfu Yiling finally agreed.

  "Great, let's get on the bus!" Seeing someone accompanying him, Ouyang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  ＊＊＊

  At noon, Ouyang Xuan walked out of the teaching building with a gloomy face.

  Professor Wang 'educated' him for nearly an hour, and finally forgave him because of his business trip. However, Ouyang Xuan, who had a strong sense of self-respect since childhood, was depressed. He had never been criticized by a teacher like this before.

  "Ouyang, don't take it to heart, this isn't your fault!" Huangfu Yiling gently grasped Ouyang Xuan's arm and softly consoled him.

  "Alas, I was thinking that in a few days, my parents will definitely ask me how I did on the exam. How should I answer them?" Ouyang Xuan felt even more depressed, he didn't want to deceive his parents.

  "This——" Huangfu Yiling also felt difficult, and she could only say: "Can only tell your parents the truth, they should not blame you!"

  "Alas, it can't be helped. But I really can't bear to hear the sound of my parents' disappointment!" Ouyang Xuan sighed.

  Suddenly, Ouyang Xuan's phone rang, and it was An Qi's annoyed voice: "Hey, Ouyang, you little brat just returned to the Dragon Team, but didn't report on the task completion situation. You ran off without a trace, do you still have organizational discipline? Hurry back and write a report!"

  Ouyang Xuan's temper suddenly flared up, and he angrily said: "I was late for my English exam, and I got scolded by the teacher for over an hour. You're still yelling at me?! Who am I supposed to yell at?!"

  Anqi was hit by Ouyang Xuan's thunderous firework, and immediately lost his voice. He dryly laughed twice and said: "Ah, this, Ouyang, is a small problem. Otherwise, I'll make a call to the Ministry of Education and have them reissue a certificate for you!"

  "I don't want anything obtained through the back door!" Ouyang Xuan said indignantly.

  "Never mind then, what about Huang Xiaoming?" An Qi saw that Ouyang Xuan was in a state of extreme anger and could only speak briefly.

  "I'll get rid of this trash, throw him to the public security bureau and sentence him for a few years for tomb robbery. Done!" Ouyang Xuan slammed down the phone in anger.

  On the other end of the phone, An Qi shook his head with a wry smile: "Alas, this stubborn one is even more temperamental than I am. It seems that the report can only be delayed for a few more days, what bad luck!"

  Just after hanging up the phone, Huangfu Yiling saw Ouyang Xuan's furious expression and advised: "Ouyang, don't be angry, how about we go eat?" —— She had no interest in pursuing the matter with Ouyang Xuan, let alone dare to ask now.

  "Hmm!" Ouyang Xuan looked at the gentle Huangfu Yiling, and his face finally calmed down.

  Just as he was about to step forward, a beautiful woman with a heroic and refreshing appearance walked by his side. As soon as she saw Ouyang Xuan, she happily said: "Ouyang classmate, I haven't seen you for several days, can we talk?"

  Ouyang Xuan fainted, but it was Dong Hui from the Martial Arts Club who spoke with a bitter smile: "Please, beauty, I'm really annoyed right now, can you not come again?"

  Dong Hui said with some grievance: "Ouyang classmate, the school will soon select a batch of martial arts athletes to participate in the Universiade. You are the most suitable one. This can not only bring glory to the school but also make a name for yourself. Will you consider it?"

  "I told you before, I won't join the martial arts club! Not in the past, not now, and not in the future!" Ou Yang Xuan's voice suddenly rose as he angrily said: "A Ling, let's go!"

  Huangfu Yiling saw Ouyang Xuan walking away with big strides, so she could only force a apologetic smile at Dong Hui, who was on the verge of tears: "Sorry, Dong classmate, he's in a bad mood, sorry!"

  Dong Hui pouted and didn't speak, so Huang Fu Yiling had no choice but to go after Ouyang Xuan.

  Watching them leave, Dong Hui stomped her foot in anger: "Damn Ou Yang, stinky Ou Yang, others are also beauties, you always reject me, it's infuriating, I'm so angry I could die!"

  Dong Hui let out a long, piercing scream, and the GGs and MM passing by on the street were so frightened that they took a detour with faces full of terror, thinking that this beautiful woman had gone crazy.
