C15 Seeing Erlang Shen
Ye Tao took a deep breath. He realized that he was still unable to master the newly acquired God Power. He knew that no matter how powerful the ability was, only when it was truly mastered could it be converted into strength.
Just as he was deep in thought, he heard a loud shout, "Who's there? "Come out quickly!"
The two security guards had heard the noise coming from the woods and rushed over. When they saw Ye Tao standing there in a daze, the younger security guard shouted at the top of his lungs. He was trying to intimidate this "suspect" so that they could arrest him.
The older of the two security guards knew that something bad was going to happen as soon as he heard his companion's shout. As expected, Ye Tao immediately woke up. Seeing the two security guards glaring fiercely at him, he ran away without a second word.
The old security guard slapped the young security guard on the head. Seeing the innocent look on the young security guard's face, he sighed and said, "Little Li, ah, Little Li, you just came to work at school so there are a lot of things you don't know. Now these students are as slippery as loaches.
Xiao Li rubbed his skull, then nodded his head in confusion. The two security guards, one old and one young, could only look at Ye Tao's back as he quickly disappeared into the distance and sigh.
Ye Tao kept his distance. He only stopped when he was sure the two security guards didn't follow him. It seemed like he couldn't do things like practicing martial arts in the school anymore. If he showed off too much, there would be a lot of trouble.
It was said that before the founding of the city, that it had once been a place of mass graves, and countless ghosts and evil spirits had been buried there. At night, there would always be strange things occurring, and even during the day, one would feel a wave of cold wind blowing, causing people to feel scared out of their wits.
Over time, very few people would go there, but for Ye Tao, it was a good place to cultivate. As for the ghosts and demons, he did not care, as he had already trained in the Heaven Realm before, what was there to be afraid of? As long as they didn't have eyes and dare to cause trouble, they would definitely make it so that they wouldn't be able to return.
The Fengcheng Mountains were only about two to three kilometers away from the school. When Ye Tao arrived, he discovered that it was noon. Although the sun was burning hot, he couldn't feel even the slightest bit of heat.
There really is something strange, Ye Tao thought. It was the middle of summer, and the vegetation here seemed lush, but not a single living thing could be seen. It was completely silent, and not a single trace of life could be felt.
A few days ago, Ye Tao was a firm materialist and would never believe in ghosts and ghosts. However, ever since he obtained the software from the Three Realms, he had opened the door to a new world.
Since there was an existence like the Underworld in this world, there must be ghosts and gods. There might even be ghosts and souls living in this Fengcheng Mountain.
The main purpose of Ye Tao's visit was to familiarize himself with the power he had just obtained. After consuming the Jade Cleansing Pill, his power had increased tremendously, and with a single full strength attack, he could easily kill a cow.
In the afternoon, Ye Tao destroyed countless trees. Looking at the mess on the ground, Ye Tao couldn't believe that it was caused by his physical body. He felt an unprecedented sense of power.
The sun was setting in the west side of the mountain, and the miasma was getting thicker. Ye Tao packed his stuff and was about to leave the mountain, but he suddenly felt something flash behind him.
"What kind of demons and devils are these? Hurry up and show yourself! " Ye Tao's eyes turned cold. He didn't expect that there would be such an unsightly object that crashed into his chest. He had never seen a ghost in his life. He might even be able to catch one this time.
However, no one answered Ye Tao and no one else could be seen. Could they have heard wrongly? Ye Tao laughed and shook his head, mocking himself for being a little crazy.
After he walked down the mountain, he heard the phone in his pocket ring several times. He opened it and saw that it was a text message from Zhao Wenxi asking him what he was doing, why he didn't reply to her text message, and how was the Howling Celestial Dog.
Ye Tao thought of Zhao Wenxi's alluring figure. 'Could it be that this little girl's yearning has been so deep in anxiety? It's only been a day since she last saw me?' It was unknown whether she was thinking about him or the Howling Celestial Dog.
He thought for a while but still called Zhao Wenxi. Before long, he answered the call.
"Hey, my school beauty." Ye Tao laughed and said.
"Damn it, what did you do today? You can't even find someone for a whole day." Zhao Wenxi seemed to complain about Ye Tao's sudden disappearance. After not seeing Ye Tao for an entire day, his heart seemed to have been emptied, as if he couldn't even bring himself to do anything.
"I went to help Howling Heavens find his master." Ye Tao had told her yesterday that the Howling Celestial Dog's name was Howling Firmament.
When Zhao Wenxi heard about the Howling Celestial Dog, he immediately became excited. He immediately cast aside his earlier complaint towards Ye Tao and asked, "Did you find it?"
"Yes, I have. I have already returned it to him." Ye Tao thought of Erlang Shen. Even though he worked for someone else, he had yet to see Erlang Shen, the famous True Lord Erlang, reveal his true appearance.
"Really? That's great. " Zhao Wenxi said happily. After a moment of hesitation, she continued, "Are you free tomorrow?"
Ye Tao thought for a moment. Nothing much has happened recently. Could it be that School Beauty Zhao took the initiative to ask me out? This was a good sign. Even if something had to happen, he had to push it away. The world was big, who could be bigger than Commander Zhao?
Then, he immediately replied in excitement, "It's fine, beauty. If there's anything you need, feel free to tell me."
"It's my birthday in two days," Zhao said. "I think... "Invite you."
"No problem, I'll definitely be there." Ye Tao patted his chest and gave his guarantee. He wished that the school belle's birthday would be a good occasion for him to show off. As long as he took the chance and got the beauty back, it would be just around the corner.
The two chatted for a bit longer before hanging up. He then entered the Three Realms Part-Time Software and found a new notification. He clicked it and saw that it was a 5-star review.
"Little Fellow is very punctual and very considerate. After the Howling Celestial Dog followed him for a while, its personality has become much more cheerful. Next time, I'll have to trouble you again."
Ye Tao looked at him and laughed. He did not expect Erlang Shen to give him a 5-star evaluation. He was initially prepared to be complained about, but now, it could be considered a pleasant surprise.
Ding! Congratulations on completing the quest. System reward 100 points.
He had always thought that the only way to get points was to sign off. Now, it seemed that there would be a reward for every mission completed. He immediately went to the Merchant Shop to exchange for the Face Preserving Pill, planning to give it to Zhao Wenxi whenever he had the time.
When he returned to his dorm, he found that he was playing a popular game. The entire room was filled with 98K, octopus-like terms. When they saw Ye Tao come back, they called for him to go along with them, but he shook his head and refused.
He had spent the whole afternoon at the Feng City Mountain. He was already exhausted, and couldn't wait to lie down on his bed and sleep. He didn't have the mood to play games with them.
He woke up early the next morning, refreshed by the cool breeze of a summer morning. After waking up, the first thing he did was sign in the Three Realms's part-time software. Although he could only get 20 Merchant Shop points every day, it would add up to a lot. Furthermore, there was also a chance for rare items to drop out of the system, so signing in every day was a good habit.
Just after he put down his phone, a call came in. He saw that it was an unknown number, and after the call was connected, a strange man's voice sounded, "Little Friend Ye? "I am Yang Jian, I have something to ask of you."
Ye Tao was stunned for more than ten seconds before he stammered, "Okay okay, I'll be right over."
This is the real Erlang Shen, he actually called me. He never dreamed that he would one day talk to a legendary figure. Could it be that the Heaven Realm also had a phone number?
He had thought that these legendary figures would send him a telepathic message just like they did in fantasy novels. He hadn't expected them to be so advanced. This was actually his misunderstanding. The Heaven Realm was separated from humans by a world barrier, how could a thousand miles of sound transmission be that easy? Even if Erlang Shen was truly able to send a sound transmission to her, the amount of mana that he expended was extremely high. It would be better for him to just make a phone call.
Ye Tao immediately tidied up and walked towards the small district. When he arrived, the golden-armored soldier from last time let him in. Although he had been here before, he couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw this huge mansion that looked like an ancient beast.
The golden-armored soldier led her to the main hall, where she looked up to see a man sitting. He was dressed in a dark, clean robe, with a piece of black jeweled flower tape tied around his waist. He had jet-black hair and an unfathomable pair of eyes.
Is this Erlang Shen? From the looks of it, he did not look like Erlang, who could compete with Great Sage Qitian for three hundred rounds, but more like a wealthy young master from ancient times.
Ye Tao dared to guarantee it. If Erlang Shen couldn't stay in the Heavenly Court one day, he could just rely on his looks to earn a living in the mortal world.
"I pay my respects to the True Lord." Ye Tao hugged Erlang Shen's hands and saluted him as he studied the TV series. However, he was clumsy and looked very funny.
"No need to be so courteous, little friend Ye." Ye Tao felt a gentle force lift him up with a wave of his hand. Erlang Shen said with a smile, "The reason I invited little friend Ye over was because I wanted to ask something of you."
