512: Chapter 0512: Lay out the Formation and Surround the House 512: Chapter 0512: Lay out the Formation and Surround the House Bald Dog popped its head out of the water, soaking wet, truly resembling a drowned rat.
It wasn’t as selflessly altruistic as Long Fei imagined, running over to deliver any kind of benefits.
Instead, after failing to sneak attack, it had intended to bite Bai Jie’er but ended up tearing off her clothes instead.
Afterwards, it shook off the water droplets from its body and complained to Long Fei in frustration, “Why didn’t you stop her?
Fox meat is a delicacy.”
Long Fei, sipping his drink nonchalantly, said, “Beauties are meant to be appreciated, look at you, always thinking about eating.”
Bald Dog glared and cursed, “Damn it, is it because you’ve been charmed by her beauty that I worked so hard for nothing?”
Long Fei poured it a cup of wine and patted its head to comfort it, “Good boy, there are plenty of demons out there; we’ll catch them slowly.
It would be too courteous to kill such a beautiful demon.”
Bald Dog gave him a disdainful glance, thinking to itself that not killing her wouldn’t it be a pity to not sleep with her a few times?
The man and dog spent the night in the pavilion and the next day, the school bus came to pick up the students causing havoc for several days.
Long Fei returned with the three Lin Shanshan and on their way, Lin Shanshan suspiciously asked him, “Why didn’t I see you last night?”
Long Fei coughed dryly, “It was too noisy at your place, so I slept in the pavilion outside with Bald Dog.”
“You didn’t go looking for girls, did you?”
Lin Shanshan didn’t believe it.
Long Fei reminded her, “Hey, you’re my little aunt, not my wife!
Isn’t it a bit over the line for you to ask that?”
Lin Shanshan pouted and said, “What wife?
I’m looking out for you for my sister’s sake.
Can’t I do that?”
“Of course, of course!”
Long Fei nodded, humbly accepting the supervision,
But internally grumbled, if it weren’t for the three of you deliberately driving me away, would I have had to share a den with a dog?
After getting back to the city, Long Fei contacted Ding Xue to confirm that there were no tasks in the next few days and then took a taxi straight back to Longjiawan Village.
He left Bald Dog at home to take care of the house because he didn’t feel at ease leaving Lin Shanshan alone.
During his last visit to Longjiawan Village, Long Fei had taught a lesson to the mayor’s son Geng Xiaojun and the Feng Shui Master from South Yangtze, Tang Fengnian.
He had a feeling that these two were not the type to easily back down.
Although Lin Yingying had Zhou Zhenglong’s protection, she likely wasn’t a match for them.
Within the Daoist sect, those who break through to the Enlightenment Realm are called Practitioners.
Those who have not broken through to the Enlightenment Realm but know how to use spells are referred to as Spellcasters.
Spellcasters follow the heterodox path, just like Tang Fengnian, who could trap an ancient martial arts Grandmaster with his actions.
As Long Fei guessed, Tang Fengnian had been holding back a belly full of anger since the last time he was humiliated.
He had specially invited his master from South Yangtze to come over; getting slapped in the face was one thing, but losing his master’s face was another.
Historically, Daoist practices have always been more prosperous in South Yangtze than in the North.
Mount Mao, Mount Shu, Qingcheng, Wudang, Dragon-Tiger Mountain, all in the South Yangtze.
North Yangtze, frequently invaded by barbarian tribes, has Buddhist temples blooming as a result.
When people die, they need to be led to salvation.
With constant warfare, people lived in exhaustion, and Buddhist sects offered some comfort to their hearts.
Monks consequently emerged, wielding significant influence in North Yangtze.
Mahayana Buddhism looks to Wutai Mountain, whereas Theravada Buddhism looks to Shaolin Temple.
On the other hand, the climate in the north, which leads to sparse spiritual energy, is not as abundant as in South Yangtze.
Daoist practices flourish in the south, and these are the main two reasons.
Tang Fengnian’s master was no ordinary figure; a legitimate descendant of Mount Mao Sect, he was adept at Qimen Dunjia.
His ancestors were Outer Sect disciples of the Mount Mao Sect, a lineage that made a living through spells, with the most glorious period serving as the Imperial Astronomical Bureau for the Royal Family.
He was a fiercely protective person and rushed over with people without a second word upon hearing his disciple was humiliated.
Just then, Lin Yingying returned to Longjiawan Village with Zhou Zhenglong, and Tang Fengnian saw an opportunity for revenge.
He begged his master for some Eight-faceted Formation Flags and brought people to plant them outside Elder Long’s courtyard at night.
This was the Eight-faceted Ingenious Formation, a minor formation within Qimen Dunjia.
Once set up, although it couldn’t summon strong winds or heavy rain, it could affect a person’s mind, causing hallucinations.
In a tiny area, you could keep turning around but just couldn’t find the way out.
He did this deliberately to lure Long Fei over and then reclaim the face he lost from Long Fei’s hands.
Lin Yingying got up early in the morning and called Zhou Zhenglong, who was sleeping in a tent in the yard, to go up the mountain to work.
People from Lin’s Group had already come over and were currently working on project planning on site.
However, the two of them wandered around the courtyard, clearly seeing the path ahead but unable to cross it, almost having a nervous breakdown.
Lin Yingying went back and called Elder Long to try it out.
The situation was still the same; the entire courtyard seemed to be sealed off from the outside world.
Even if you shouted out, nobody could hear, and there was no signal on the cell phones.
The three of them thought about it and assumed it was a ghost hitting the wall.
In the TV shows, peeing on the spot usually did the trick.
So, Elder Long took the lead, followed by Zhou Zhenglong, and the two peed fiercely in front of them to no avail.
Most critically, there was no signal inside.
The three of them waited in silence in the yard, knowing that if people outside realized they weren’t coming out, they would definitely try to find a way in.
Sure enough, Village Chief Li Fugui got up early, straightened his clothes, and brought the villagers over.
They also tried to enter the yard, but just wandered outside.
Sometimes, they were face to face with Lin Yingying and her group but couldn’t see each other.
The village chief felt like he had seen a ghost and immediately had his son call Long Fei.
Long Fei was rushing back home in a taxi when he received a call from Li Heiwa.
After asking about the situation, his heart tightened.
He told Li Heiwa to warn the villagers not to get too close, guessing that someone must have set up a formation in his family’s courtyard.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to neither get in nor out.
On the road, he found the taxi driver’s speed too slow, so he simply asked the driver to sit aside while he took the wheel.
He floored the gas pedal the whole way, drifting around every curve, charging through red lights.
The taxi’s tires howled, and white smoke never stopped billowing.
The speed remained over two hundred miles per hour, making the driver’s heartache as his eyes nearly bugged out.
The wear and tear from such driving was more than what he would expect from ten years of normal use.
He didn’t dare speak up from the side as his stomach churned so much that he would have vomited at a word.
He admired Long Fei’s driving skills immensely; Long Fei could narrowly avoid collisions with precision.
When they arrived at the destination and opened the car door,
The driver hopped out and immediately threw up violently.
Having driven taxis for over a decade, he thought his own driving was wild enough.
Today, having seen Long Fei drive, he realized there were indeed mountains beyond mountains.
As Long Fei was about to leave, the driver clung onto the car, shouting, “Hey, stop right there, you haven’t paid for the ride, and you have to get this car serviced.
Never mind the engine, but the four tires are definitely shot.
Plus, you need to pay the fines for running red lights!”
Long Fei pointed at him and instructed, “Wait here, I’ll buy your taxi, you can take another taxi home.”
“What?”
The driver’s eyes widened, afraid that Long Fei would renege on the deal, and decided to follow him closely.
But when he saw Long Fei’s house, his mouth twitched with frustration.
He thought to himself, you want to buy my taxi with that shabby house?
