If they hadn’t been unconscious and lying on the ground at the time, but standing there, they would have been killed by the aftershocks of the battle and the energy explosion from the self-destruction of the Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple…
Despite complaining in his heart, Xu Yang’s expression remained calm, and he said indifferently, “The reason they are unconscious is that they were invaded by evil energy. Unless that evil energy is expelled, they won’t wake up even if you cut them.”
Evil energy… invading their bodies?
The hotel lobby manager was startled.
So were the hotel staff and curious guests who were watching the excitement. However, when they saw Xu Yang’s Daoist robe, they showed an “enlightened” expression.
A Daoist, after all.
Using some professional terms seemed normal.
The hotel lobby manager asked, “Master, how should we treat them? Do you want me to call an ambulance?”
“No need.”
Xu Yang said: “This is not a disease that doctors can cure… Your hotel has pots, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The lobby manager hurriedly said, “There are pots in the kitchen… Master, should I bring one?”
Xu Yang didn’t say anything but waved his hand, taking out yellow paper and a talisman pen from his storage space and began drawing talismans on the spot.
He drew “Exorcism Talismans”.
This kind of Daoist talisman was relatively low-level, similar to an “Evil-warding Talisman”, only one was used to ward off evil, and the other was used to exorcise evil.
Having grown accustomed to drawing Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talismans, Diamond Talismans, Movement Talismans, and divine strength talismans, Xu Yang now found drawing “Exorcism Talismans” quite easy. In just a few minutes, he drew eighteen talismans.
He put away the cinnabar ink and talisman pen, took out the Supreme Purification Seal, stamped it one by one, waited for the talisman ink to dry, then held up the talisman and said, “Prepare 18 bowls of water, bring it to a boil over high heat, add the ash from this talisman to the water, and when it cools down, feed them.”
“This…”
The hotel lobby manager hesitated and, fearing Xu Yang, carefully asked,
“Master, will it harm people if they drink this?”
Xu Yang laughed.
He could understand the lobby manager’s concerns.
If someone had treated him the same way a month ago, he might have jumped up and slapped them on the face. He laughed and said, “You can just go and do it without worrying. I will take responsibility if something happens.”
Only then did the lobby manager take the talisman and hurriedly run to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Xu Yang put away the Supreme Purification Seal with a flick of his wrist.
This simple action dumbfounded the onlookers. A child couldn’t help but come over, looked up curiously and asked, “Uncle, are you a magician?”
The child’s mother hurried over to pull the child back, saying, “Master, I apologize, my child is young, please forgive him if he offends you.”
The little boy, about six or seven years old, stubbornly shook off his mother’s hand and said, “Hmph, you are a big liar, you said you would take me to see a magician’ s performance…’1
The mother had to squat down and coax her son.
Xu Yang smiled and said, “Little friend, uncle is not a magician… If you must say so, I can probably be considered a mage.”
“A mage?”
The little boy tilted his head and asked, “Isn’t a mage the same as a magician?” Education must start from a young age, and Xu Yang decided to correct the little boy’s mistaken thinking. He squatted down, patted the little boy’s head, and said, “Magic is magic, and magicians are magicians. They can’t be confused. All magic tricks are done with props and slight-of-hand techniques, while magic is done with one’s own power.”
He stood up, snapped his fingers with a snap.
A spark of fire sprang from his fingertip.
“Wow!”
The little boy looked astonished.
In the crowd of onlookers, a young man sneered, saying, “You dare come out and deceive people with such tricks, even belittling magic… To be honest, I am a magic livestreamer, and your little trick…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the flame at Xu Yang’s fingertip suddenly surged, turning into a huge ball of fire with a whoosh.
The fire rose into the air, constantly changing shape, turning into an S shape at one moment and a B shape the next, before finally disappearing with a whoosh.
Xu Yang waved his hand again, and rain began to fall inside the hotel lobby.
Among the rain, there were even two flashes of lightning.
With a thought, all the unusual phenomena disappeared.
Xu Yang looked at the man who claimed to be a magic livestreamer and asked with a smile, “Can you do these little tricks of mine?”
The man was dumbfounded and fell to his knees with a thud.
Just then, Zhou Jie rushed into the hotel lobby, shouting, “Master Xu… What’s going on?”
Xu Yang briefly explained, and Zhou Jie immediately instructed his people, “Go to the scene, contact the hotel manager, and discuss compensation… Also, contact the local police and seal off the hotel.”
“Yes, have the cyber police come too, temporarily block the hotel’s internet, and check the guests’ mobile phones to see if anyone has taken secret photos or videos…”
He quickly dealt with the situation, dispersing the crowd gathered in the hotel lobby, and then looked at the eighteen unconscious people on the ground, asking, “Master Xu, what happened to these people?”
The Grandmaster’s Soul Differentiation has taken possession of them before since they were invaded by evil energy, but it’s not a big problem and I’ve already arranged for someone to deal with it.”
Soon.
The hotel staff brought the talisman water and fed it to the unconscious people one by one.
Within just a few minutes, the eighteen unconscious people woke up one after another, and one of them covered his face and said, “Where am I… What happened to me… Why does my face hurt so much?”
The hotel lobby manager looked embarrassed.
After talking to Zhou Jie for a while, Xu Yang returned to his room.
Before the cyber police had time to block the hotel’s internet, Xu Yang opened a message and checked his friend’s circle. He saw a recent post from Ma Long that read – On a hot summer day, the most refreshing thing is iced beer with roast whole lamb.
There was a photo below.
It showed him and several men and women having a bonfire party and roasting a whole lamb outdoors.
Xu Yang was a little worried, so he called Ma Long and asked how he was doing.
He found out that Ma Long was with his cousins and finally felt relieved.
Soon.
Daylight came.
Early in the morning, Xu Yang got up, enjoyed the exquisite breakfast prepared by the hotel, checked out, and drove to the Terracotta Warriors.
“Is this the so-called eighth wonder of the world? It’s magnificent!”
Yue Yuluo, Liu Shishi, and Yang Yin all exclaimed in admiration, while Yun Mengxi looked curiously at a pottery figurine in the depths of the Terracotta Warriors and said in surprise, “It’s strange… Is it an illusion? I feel that this pottery figurine just moved a little!”
