Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Cutting Clothes for Lady Ghost Elder Sister!
Translator: 549690339
Atop the cloud and fog-shrouded Lu Shan Sect, Master Chen walked forward and entered a Daoist temple.
In the temple stood a tall god statue, none other than “Miraculous Salvation True Lord Miaoji” Xu Xun, the Celestial Master Xu.
On either side of the “Miraculous Salvation True Lord Miaoji” statue were several smaller god statues, representing Li Sanniang, Chen Jinggu, and Li Shaniang – the three ladies!
Legends say that these three ladies were sisters, practicing the Lu Shan Sect’s Daoist skills, vanquishing spirits and demons, and eventually achieving merit and being sealed as dukes. They’re female immortals who protect women and children, so they’re also called the Three Ladies or the Three Goddesses.
In Daoist mythology, they’re known as the gods who help women with difficult childbirths and therefore are called the “Mother Who Facilitates Natural Birth.” In later generations, they gradually became known as “Holy Mother Who Facilitates Natural Birth.”
Apart from this, there were also some “Divine Mage” ranked statues in the temple.
Every Lu Shan Sect disciple who practiced the corresponding “Summoning Deities” method could, in the dark, receive a bit of “Divine Mage’s Power” to strengthen themselves.
In front of the statues, an old Daoist sat cross-legged on a cushion.
A strange Daoist charm emanated from him, giving off the feeling as if he had merged with the world.
“Master!”
As soon as Master Chen entered the temple, he went straight ahead and bowed down before the old Daoist.
“Hmm?”
The old Daoist slowly opened his eyes and said lightly, “You’re back? Did you get the Jingming Seal?”
Master Chen shook his head: “I saw the bones in Xu Zhiyuan’s tomb, but they’re not his… Besides, there’s a Ghost King residing in his home, and 1 didn’t dare to act rashly!”
“What level of cultivation has Xu Zhiyuan achieved? He reached the Divine Realm in his twenties, and even if he was seriously injured and his cultivation level dropped, he wouldn’t die so easily.”
The old Daoist spoke calmly, “He faked his death to escape, perhaps for some plot. Furthermore, a Ghost King is not to be underestimated. Indeed, we must consider this matter carefully. In half a month, it’s our Lu Shan Sect’s provincial assembly. All the sect leaders will gather together, and I’ll bring up this matter on that day and discuss a foolproof plan!”
Master Chen hesitated and left.
He was at the “Realm of Daoism.”
Against aGhost King, he had no chance of winning at all.
Otherwise, why would he have to go back to the Lu Shan Sect for reinforcements?
“Is this…clothing?”
Wu City.
Yumin Street, funeral store.
Lady Ghost hovered nearby, watching Xu Yang’s actions, and couldn’t help saying, “You can’t cover anything with this kind of clothing. How can it be worn outside?”
Xu Yang picked up the clothes he had cut from the yellow paper and laughed, “Sister, you don’t know, do you? …This is called a bra; it’s underwear. It seems like you called it ‘lingerie’ in ancient times, right? It’s similar to the bellyband you’re wearing.”
“You… don’t talk nonsense!”
Lady Ghost blushed.
Her upbringing made her feel that discussing lingerie and bellybands with a man was extremely shameful.
But…
There was also an indescribable sense of excitement!
“Did I say something wrong?”
Xu Yang looked puzzled, “Surely you don’t wear lingerie?”
“Bang!”
Lady Ghost clenched her small fists and punched Xu Yang in the chest, softly scolding, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Her punch was loud but light, one might think she could kill an ox with that “bang,” yet it barely tickled Xu Yang, who grew bolder.
He looked at the clothes he had cut out and said, “It’s a pity, my skill is not good enough. My grandpa’s Paper Cutting Skill was incredible, and the items he cut out were lifelike. Otherwise, 1 could just cut out a lace set directly for you to wear, and it would be more breathable.”
What is lace?
What is breathability?
Lady Ghost couldn’t understand at all but felt that it wasn’t anything nice to say. She lowered her head and said, “I am a ghost and don’t need to breathe.”
Xu Yang found some ink and dyed the cut bra black.
He racked his brain and cut out a pair of stockings, also dying them black.
Lady Ghost was puzzled, “Why do you need to dye them after cutting them?”
Xu Yang smiled without saying anything.
It was nothing.
He just liked black stockings.
Of course, this was something he could not tell the female ghost.
Next, Xu Yang cut a women’s short-sleeved T-shirt and dyed it white.
He glanced at the time; it was almost evening, so he made an excuse, saying, “I’ll cut the pants tomorrow… Lady Ghost, let me first burn these clothes for you, and you can see if they fit.”
The female ghost angrily said, “How can 1 try them without pants?”
“Don’t worry, this T-shirt is designed to be wide and long to cover your…butt, so there won’t be any wardrobe malfunctions!”
The female ghost was deeply unwilling, “In the Ming Dynasty, no woman would dare to wear such clothes on the street.”
“The Ming Dynasty was different from now. In the West, some women are even advocating for the liberation of their XXs and running around with bare buttocks…” Xu Yang pointed out the window, saying, “Look, aren’t the women on the street dressed like this?”
The female ghost looked over.
It was currently the height of summer, and many young women on the street were indeed wearing cool summer clothes.
She blushed and nodded her head.
Xu Yang eagerly fetched a brazier, lit it, and burned the clothes.
The next moment.
A pair of black stockings, a black thong, a black bra, and a white short-sleeved shirt appeared in the female ghost’s hands.
She hesitated and then entered the bedroom. Before closing the door, she poked her head out and warned, “No peeping! If you dare to peek, I’ll gouge out your eyes!”
“Don’t worry, whoever peeks is a little dog.”
There was a rustling sound coming from the bedroom, and soon the female ghost walked out completely transformed.
She was wearing black stockings, a white short-sleeved T-shirt on her upper body, and a single ponytail. Because it was her first time wearing something like this, she looked extremely shy, blushing, and keeping her head down, not daring to look at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang was momentarily stunned.
Her facial features and temperament were that of a delicate and pretty girl. With this set of clothes, especially combined with her shy expression, she looked like the epitome of purity.
Seeing that Xu Yang remained silent for a long time, the female ghost stomped her foot and asked, “How is it? Is it very ugly?”
Xu Yang originally wanted to say that it looked beautiful…
But he knew that if he said that, the female ghost might refuse to wear it.
So he wiped the drool from his mouth and nonchalantly said, “It’s not bad, it looks much better than that red outfit of yours… At the very least, these clothes better suit the modern times, and if you were to go shopping or walk around, no one would notice.”
“Really?”
The female ghost was very happy and said, “Xu Yang, thank you. It’s been more than 500 years since I last changed into new clothes.”
Xu Yang was pleased and said, “No need to thank me. When 1 have some free time tomorrow, I’ll help you design a few more sets… Now you stay at home and watch the shop; I’m going to help Ma Long catch ghosts.”
He changed into his Daoist robe, took a stack of yellow paper, a few candles, and a bundle of incense from the shop, and then left, driving towards the construction site according to the location sent by Ma Long.
It didn’t take long.
He arrived at the construction site.
By now, the sky had completely darkened.
Surrounded by the workers, the project office made of color steel plates was crowded.
They had received a notice that a “master” would be coming to catch ghosts today. Driven by curiosity, they all came to watch the excitement.
Xu Yang parked his car at the entrance of the construction site and walked in.
“Ding!”
“The female ghost was frightened, Merit Points +30!”
Xu Yang:”.. ”
What the hell!
i just stepped into the entrance of the construction site, and the merits came already?
Isn’t this female ghost a scaredy-cat?
