“Ah!!!! I get it! It’s… it’s about the making of a paper puppet, and then… and then… doing that kind of thing… I’m fainting! So disgusting, so perverse!” Song Yuru frowned, then stared at Huang Xiaolong. “Tell me… Little Long, do you know how to make Paper Figures? And how about female ones at that?”

“I certainly do!” Huang Xiaolong thumped his chest. “Wifey, let me tell you, I’m very skilled at making Paper Figures. I can craft a puppet that looks exactly like a real person, complete with body temperature, heartbeat, and thoughts. It’s not afraid of the wind, fire, or sunshine…”

“Yuck” Song Yuru retched. “Little Long, if I ever find out you’re making female Paper Figures to… do those kinds of things, don’t you dare touch me again! You pervert!”

“Er Wifey, I don’t have such peculiar tastes, okay?” Huang Xiaolong laughed awkwardly.

While they chatted, both had already left the palace.

Outside the palace was another deep passage.

As soon as the two stepped into the passage, Huang Xiaolong’s pupils contracted. He said softly, “Things are getting interesting… my dear wifey, don’t move around. The yin energy and resentment in this passage is extremely horrific. This yin energy also contains a kind of killing intent. Even for ordinary people, let alone elite soldiers with robust physicalities, even the slightest contact with a bit of the killing intent would shed their skin.”

The temperature in the passage was nearly close to zero degrees, extremely cold. Song Yuru couldn’t help but tighten her grip on Huang Xiaolong’s arm, her body trembling slightly, “Little Long, is it really that scary?”

“Indeed.” Huang Xiaolong answer seriously. “Wifey, let’s put it this way, a strong man standing here for a minute would fall severely ill the next day and die on the third day.”

“Then what about me…me…?” Song Yuru’s voice trembled, her face full of terror.

After all, she is a physically weak woman. Her physical strength is obviously not comparable to that of a professional soldier or a healthy adult male.

“Uh Wifey, I’ve attached a total of 5 protective amulets on you, so don’t be afraid. No matter how heavy the yin energy here, it can’t harm you,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.

Just then!

“Those who trespass on forbidden ground shall die!!!!!!”

In an instant!

Whistle whistle whistle Whistle whistle whistle

The chilly wind shot like arrows!

From above the passageway, countless spirits, like locusts, flooded the skies. They poured towards Huang Xiaolong and Song Yuru in an overwhelming mass!

The spirits, each emanated an overwhelming evil aura. Their faces looked blank yet their eyes were filled with an insatiable craving for slaughter; the surrounding pitch-black resentment violently bubbled around them.

There were red-clothed vengeful spirits, orange-clothed vengeful spirits, few yellow-clothed vengeful spirits, and two to three green-clothed vengeful spirits.

The number was vast enough to form an army!

At this moment, even a conventional practitioner, with accomplished Dao techniques, would be powerless to combat such a monstrous ghost army. Within an instant, they would be torn to shreds and have their Yang energy drained.

However, Huang Xiaolong, unperturbed, even displayed a hint of regret in his eyes.

“Eh, the spiritual wisdom of these spirits has been wiped clean and they’ve been turned into mere ghost puppets. They only know slaughter. Speaking of intelligence, it is akin to a vegetative state. Ah, such a vast ghost army, if only they could be collected into the Spirit Barrel, they would be of excellent use in the future. But sadly, these ghost puppets are mostly of no use… Moreover, conventional spirits, no matter how sinful when alive, would be able to redeem themselves by undergoing various punishments in the underworld after death, eventually being reborn as human beings. But these ghost puppets can’t do that…”

Huang Xiaolong shook his head, then a ruthless killing intent flashed across his eyes. “If they are useless, then let them all turn into ash!”

The next second, Huang Xiaolong formed a hand seal, his entire body’s mana wildly surged, as he chanted an incantation!

First, he recited the Nine-character True Words from the Dao!

Array before the warriors! March!

He echoed the nine grand characters, each carrying immense mana, exuding a dazzling light! It was like having nine suns radiating an intense and blinding golden light!

The immortal golden light swirled around Huang Xiaolong and Song Yuru, instantly making them immune to all evil, invulnerable to all techniques, unbroken through myriad tribulations!

It didn’t end there!

After reciting the Nine-character True Words from the Dao, Huang Xiaolong followed up with the Six-character Great Bright Mantra from Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva-

Om mani padme hum!!!

This was the Six-character Great Bright Mantra from the Buddha, which carried the power of all Buddhas to counteract and extinguish all the evil in the world!

As the Six-character Great Bright Mantra was uttered, a faint aura of treasure light began to twinkle around Huang Xiaolong, a powerful majestic pressure rolled out, like a mountain!

Originally, the Nine-character True Words could expel all evil, and when coupled with the Six-character Great Bright Mantra from Buddha, the golden holy light immediately overwhelmed the spirits in the entire tunnel, instantly reducing them into nothingness, their soul scattered and utterly disintegrated, not leaving a trace behind!

All annihilated!

The near-zero temperature inside the tunnel rapidly ramped up and all the negative energy was immediately wiped out.

When Song Yuru turned her head, she saw Huang Xiaolong, his body glowing faintly with golden light, majestic and sublime, seeming as if he was a deity himself!

Her admiration and love for Huang Xiaolong at this moment, were as profound as the five lakes and three rivers, impossible to be washed away.

“Little Long, you…you…you were amazing just now… What incredible technique did you use? It seems like all the spirits have been wiped out by you…,” mumbled Song Yuru, her words slurring.

“Oh, my dear wife, it was the Nine-character True Words from the Dao and the Six-character Great Bright Mantra from Buddha. When mixed together, their power is multiplied manifold. Many people believe that the techniques of Dao and Buddha don’t mix, but what I did was integrate the essence of Buddha into the Dao techniques. This is not an ordinary technique, but a powerful one that can exterminate all spirits. Ha ha, as they say, Buddha originates from Dao, with both being one entity. Many people insist on categorizing them separately, and this leaves them on a lower plane, striving their whole lives with no achievements,” Huang Xiaolong jovially explained to Song Yuru.

Although Song Yuru didn’t quite understand, she was still taken aback by the awe-inspiring explanation. However, if a follower of Buddha or Dao were to hear Huang Xiaolong’s enlightening declaration, they would surely be astonished and bow down before him in profound respect.

Buddha originates from Dao! Buddha and Dao are one!

Only a true master could express such a life-altering, valuable epiphany!

“Dear wife, let’s continue… hehe, I wonder what methods the Hu Family has left…” While Huang Xiaolong held Song Yuru’s hand, they continued towards the end of this passageway. “Today, regardless of their ploys, I am determined to dig up the Hu Family’s ancestral tomb!”

“Little Long… I… I love you!” Song Yuru suddenly blurted out these words, a hint of enchantment, along with a determination to love, flashed across her refined and beautiful face.

“Eh… my dear wife, are… are you ill? We’re on our way to dig up someone’s ancestral tomb, your abrupt love confession… I’m a little bewildered…” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.

“Huh, this is the first time I felt compelled to confess my feelings to a man, and you don’t even appreciate it… Then I won’t say it anymore.” Song Yuru’s face flushed.
