In an instant, the banquet fell silent.
Then, it quickly became noisy again.
"Channel Master Wu Tong, I didn't expect Channel Master Wu Tong to come too."
"Channel Master Wu Tong is a person who cultivates immortal magic. It is said that he has mastered magic that can turn stone into gold and create something out of nothing … Usually, many people ask for him, but he is rarely seen. I didn't expect him to come to Old Master Yang's birthday banquet this time, and even bring such valuable gifts as the Vitality Pill and the Vitality Pill."
"Old Master Yang's 70th birthday is the time when his spirit is declining and his Qi is weak. These Vitality Pills and Vitality Pills are just right for him. Moreover, they are both very expensive. They should be the most valuable gifts among all the people who came to celebrate his birthday, right?"
…
In the midst of the discussion, everyone's eyes were fixed on the door, wanting to see Channel Master Wu Tong's elegance.
Even the guard Yang Zhengling and the host of the birthday banquet, Old Master Yang, hurriedly got up and went to the door of the restaurant to welcome him.
Ziyue had heard of Channel Master Wu Tong's reputation long ago, so he was naturally curious.
Soon, an old Taoist with a long goatee, dressed in a green Taoist robe, with a ruddy face like a child, and a Taoist hairpin in his hair, walked in side by side with Yang Zhengling and Old Master Yang.
Behind them were two Taoists, one fat and one thin.
The fatter Taoist was in his thirties or forties, with a thick beard above his mouth. His eyes were small and almost invisible when he squinted.
The other one looked to be in his twenties, dressed in a purple-black Taoist robe. His face was sallow, and he looked a little tall and thin.
These two were obviously Channel Master Wu Tong's two disciples.
From the others' discussion, Ziyue learned that the fat middle-aged Taoist was Channel Master Wu Tong's eldest disciple, Zhang Yuchang, and the young man was the second disciple, Wu Hao.
As he was sizing them up, the young Taoist, Wu Hao, suddenly turned his eyes in Ziyue's direction, paused for a moment, and then looked away.
"He is …"
Ziyue's heart skipped a beat, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Just as the man turned his head, he suddenly saw a large mole beside his ear.
He suddenly recalled the description of the evil cultivator by the two hooligans he had taught a lesson to some time ago: His face was sallow, and he had a large mole by his ear …
Correspondingly, wouldn't this match with Wu Hao?
In particular, when Bai Ziyue looked down and saw the yellow gourd hanging on Wu Hao's waist, he immediately confirmed his identity.
"Wu Hao, the disciple of the Five Passages Being, is that evil cultivator who raises ghosts?!"
Ziyue's mind was shaken. He lowered his head slightly and his eyes shrunk.
"Wait, he also looked in my direction and paused for a moment. Did he recognize me?"
Ziyue's heart tightened. He looked at Wu Hao again and realized that Wu Hao wasn't looking in his direction. Instead, he was following behind the Fifth Channel Head and meeting with the other leaders.
Soon, Daoist Wutong and the others arrived at the banquet.
Ziyue's master, Liu Dong, also stood up to greet them. He wasn't too enthusiastic, but he wasn't too cold either.
Both sides also pulled their disciples to meet. Ziyue greeted the young Daoist, Wu Hao, and finally confirmed that the other party had recognized him.
"However, he doesn't seem to know that I've already recognized his' identity '."
Looking at the other party pretending to be calm, Ziyue thought silently to himself. His face didn't reveal any abnormality.
"Master, who is this Fifth Channel Head?
Why is almost everyone so respectful to him? "
After they walked away, Ziyue asked his master, Liu Dong, with a curious look.
"Fifth Channel Head is a person who cultivates the Way of Immortality. He's good at dealing with all kinds of evil.
Although we martial artists can deal with ordinary ghosts, we're not good at it. At this time, we need to ask someone like Fifth Channel Head to help us.
Over the years, the major families and forces of Qinghe Town have more or less received favors from Fifth Channel Head. Naturally, they respect him. "
Liu Dong said with a complicated tone.
"What's the difference between cultivating the Way of Immortality and practicing martial arts?
I heard that cultivating the Way of Immortality can lead to longevity. Is that true? "
Ziyue asked with a frown.
"Of course, cultivating the Way of Immortality has its magical aspects. I don't know much about the specifics. I only know that the strong can indeed prolong their lives. However, it's a bit exaggerated to say that they can lead to longevity.
Moreover, it's not impossible for us to live longer by practicing martial arts to strengthen ourselves.
As far as I know, there are many martial artists who can live to more than 150 years old. "
Liu Dong hesitated for a moment and said.
"Then are there really that many ghosts in our Qinghe Town?"
Now, he already knew that martial arts and Way of Immortality coexisted in this world. The comparison between the two could be seen from his master's tone.
Warriors seemed to lack confidence when facing immortal cultivators.
However, he hadn't heard much about ghosts in Qinghe Town.
The first time was when the Tie Yi Dojo, Tang Lian, and the other two families were haunted. It was said that Fifth Channel Head took action to resolve it.
The second time was when his cousin encountered a ghost. Although he killed the female ghost, he also offended the young Daoist, Wu Hao. From there, he discovered the secret of Wu Hao raising ghosts.
It was also because of this that he couldn't help but suspect that there was something fishy about this haunted incident.
Of course, he already knew that ghosts really existed. However, was the appearance of these ghosts driven by Fifth Channel Head?
"It's not much, but it's not little either.
You don't have to be afraid of ordinary ghosts. The truly terrifying ones are monsters, or even 'demons'.
However, Qinghe Town's surroundings are remote and resources aren't abundant. Although there are such existences, they don't appear frequently. Once they appear, the government will come out and ask people to kill them. You don't have to be too worried. "
Liu Dong explained faintly and didn't say anything else.
Hearing this, Ziyue's heart skipped a beat.
He originally guessed that this ghost incident was directed and acted out by Fifth Channel Head. Now that he heard that there were monsters, or even demons, he immediately understood that his understanding of this world was still too shallow.
What he saw was still too one-sided. He couldn't even see the tip of the iceberg.
It was obvious that there were relatively more ghosts. After all, after people died, or even animals, they could turn into ghosts.
Therefore, it was relatively normal to see ghosts.
However, other than ghosts, there were other species that were obviously stronger and more terrifying.
For example, monsters, or demons …
These existences were extremely dangerous to people. Once they appeared, the government would often come out and send people, or even ask people to kill them.
Perhaps in order to not cause panic among the people, these things were obviously kept secret. Therefore, Ziyue rarely heard about monsters and demons.
After all, his master, Liu Dong, was the leader of the Scorching Sun Gang. Naturally, he was very knowledgeable. He might even be asked by the government to attack monsters and other evil existences. Therefore, he had some understanding of these existences.
