Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 347 - 209: Carrying the Hidden Dragon within Oneself_2

Chapter 347: Chapter 209: Carrying the Hidden Dragon within Oneself_2

Little Fuzi pointed at his own wrist, gesturing as he spoke.

"Your Grandpa Yun wasn’t hitting people; he was educating your Brother Zhao."

Zhou Xuan saw it clearly—it was because Zhao Wuya made a mistake in Dragon Seeking, and Lao Yun noticed it.

When master teachers teach their disciples, their methods are often straightforward. "Beating" is what they believe to be the most effective approach.

"Smack, smack, smack!"

"Ouch, Grandmaster, go easy!"

The kitchen was a scene of chaos, chickens flying and dogs jumping everywhere.

"Young Master, what’s Mr. Yun up to now?" Huang Xi, unaware of the relationship between Yun Ziliang and Zhao Wuya, didn’t quite get it.

"Teaching his disciple, of course. Actually, Lao Yun is a teacher with strong ethics."

Zhou Xuan gave Yun Ziliang a glowing testimony,

but in fairness, it was also true. At least Yun Ziliang didn’t beat his disciple in front of outsiders.

After a while, Zhao Wuya came out. There was a bruise right in the middle of his forehead. If you didn’t look closely, you’d think he’d grown a purple extra eye.

"Ya Zi, got a good beating, huh?"

"Ah, when you walk the path of summoning spirits and paying homage to gods, bumping into things is inevitable. Just a surface wound, nothing worth mentioning."

Zhao Wuya, as he spoke, even cast a prideful "it’s nothing" glance at Zhou Xuan.

That carefree demeanor made it seem like the one who got beaten wasn’t him, but Yun Ziliang.

"Still got off easy. Ya Zi, you’ve got quite the tough mouth."

Zhou Xuan gave Zhao Wuya a thumbs-up. Say what you will, Ya Zi could really take a beating.

After reprimanding Zhao Wuya, Yun Ziliang walked to the counter and said to Zhou Xuan,

"The map you provided is a chart for cultivating using the Dragon Qi of Mingjiang Prefecture. The places you’ve marked are mostly Dragon Tail acupoints.

The Dragon Tail acupoints number thirty-six in total, but the marked spots you’ve circled amount to thirty-nine."

"Thirty-six are acupoints. What about the three extras?" Zhou Xuan asked.

Yun Ziliang pulled open a drawer and took out a ballpoint pen. Its ink was blue, making it distinct from the black circles Zhou Xuan had drawn.

He used the pen to circle three locations on the map, saying, "These three points are called Dragon-locking Caves in the Dragon Seeking Skill. Once a Dragon-locking Cave is pinned, the geomantic dragon cannot move or escape.

There are five Dragon-locking Caves in total, corresponding to the Five Elements of the geomancy. The circles on your map are missing the Western Metal and Northern Water points.

Without these two Dragon Caves, the Dragon Tail of Mingjiang Prefecture cannot be firmly pinned. You’ll need to locate the Dragon Caves at the Western Metal and Northern Water positions."

Yun Ziliang then added two more circles on the map.

The first circle went on Yangfeng Road.

The second circle went on the Yue Family Mansion.

"These two circles are the Western Metal Dragon-locking Cave and the Northern Water Dragon-locking Cave. Once all five Dragon-locking Caves are pinned, the Dragon Tail of Mingjiang can be completely secured."

At this point, Yun Ziliang pushed the map back to Zhou Xuan. Believing that Zhou Xuan had independently furthered his own understanding of the art of Dragon Seeking, he smiled and said,

"You’re pretty good, kid. You’ve managed to grasp the skill of pinning Dragon Seeking acupoints with such precision—thirty-six acupoints and three Dragon-locking Caves, all without error. You’re even better than my little disciple."

"This wasn’t my insight," Zhou Xuan said. "Those thirty-nine circles mark places where ’Hunger’ committed murders. Oh, by the way, ’Hunger’ is a Divine’s offspring. I’m not sure if its parents were a God, an Alien Ghost, a Great Buddha, or an Evil God—anyway, just some mixed-blood monstrosity.

Lao Yun, why would a Divine’s offspring be using the Big Dragon’s tail in Mingjiang Prefecture for cultivation? What’s the deal here?"

"The implications are quite significant."

Yun Ziliang’s expression darkened. He stood, leaning against the doorframe, and explained,

"There were once some sinister Tangkou disciples who pinned Dragons by using Living Human Piles. They would carve out large holes at each Dragon acupoint and then bind living persons, burying them within the holes before sealing them with soil.

One of the most merciless methods of creating Living Human Piles didn’t involve fully burying the person. Instead, they would bury them up to their necks, leaving the head exposed above ground.

A cross-shaped incision would then be made on the head, and honey would be poured into the wound to attract nearby insects and ants to feast on the honey.

The honey was just an enticement. Once the insects and ants had their fill, they would start gnawing on the person’s flesh, biting through the skull and burrowing into the body through the bone seams.

The individual, with their limbs buried, could do nothing to keep the biting, crawling creatures at bay, no matter how unbearable the pain."

Zhou Xuan felt his scalp crawl as he listened. Just imagining the plight of those poor souls was enough for him to feel their immense suffering.

"Why would anyone commit such atrocities?" Huang Xi asked.

"The Big Dragon possesses Qi and power but has no tangible form. It has no physical substance. freēwēbnovel.com

To pin the Big Dragon, one cannot rely on Magic Artifacts or Forbidden Artifacts, as these are material objects. Only immense Resentment Qi can secure it.

The Resentment Qi condenses into Resentment Nails, which, driven into the acupoints, immobilize the Big Dragon.

The greater the Resentment Qi, the more potent the Resentment Nails."

Zhou Xuan now understood. The more horrific the deaths, the greater the Resentment Qi.

In order to make the Living Human Piles as effective as possible, such gruesome and inhuman methods were employed.

Yun Ziliang sighed and said, "This method of creating Living Human Piles is so vile that its legacy was severed long ago. Nowadays, people only know of its existence but not its specific ritual. Moreover, it’s incredibly difficult to pinpoint the precise acupoints. Who could have imagined that the Living Human Piles would make a resurgence in Mingjiang Prefecture? Truly, the heavens are without mercy."

"I get it now. No wonder ’Hunger’ has been carrying out these exterminations. It’s trying to create intense Resentment Qi," Zhou Xuan said.

"It’s not just Resentment Qi," Yun Ziliang noted, counting on his fingers. "’Hunger’s’ bloody massacres indeed generate a great deal of Resentment Qi, but that’s just one of the energies."
