Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 120 Maoshan Ghost Catch Array
After eating, I calculated the time. Today is the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, and there is still one month before the July Half Ghost Festival.

It seems that I have to go back to Renjia Town, otherwise I will miss the time and the task will not be completed.

Sure enough, Wang Zhi took the three monks on the journey back to Renjia Town.

One month later, when Wang Zhi returned to Renjia Town with the three of them in the dusty world, there were only five days left until the Ghost Festival.

After opening a room in the hotel, Wang Zhi sat cross-legged on the bed, checked the progress of his cultivation, and found that he had already practiced Qi to the sixth level. For the upcoming task of fighting Maoshan Party, Wang Zhi was sure of victory.

For the remaining five days, Wang Zhi didn't plan to go out. In order to better meet the battle, Wang Zhi asked the three monks to rest in the inn and not to go out.

The three stayed in the inn obediently, even the active Zhuo Yifan understood the difficulty of completing the task, so he stayed in the inn patiently and did not go out to play.

Five days were spent by the three of them practicing hard, and today is the July Half Ghost Festival.

The three monks gathered in Wang Zhi's room, and finally discussed the details of completing the task.

At 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, Wang Zhi noticed many ghosts appearing in the town, and thought:

Sure enough, Qiusheng and Wencai, the two thugs, restrained the ghost messenger and released the ghost who came out to listen to the opera.

It is expected that at this time, Uncle Jiu is eating mud and negotiating terms with the four ghosts.

Wang Zhi didn't go out, just stayed in the room, patiently waiting for Uncle Jiu to set up the altar, and invited all the brothers from Maoshan to catch ghosts.

In the afternoon of the next day, many people with strange faces came to the town, and they all headed in the direction of Uncle Jiu's Yizhuang.

At 12 o'clock at night, Wang Zhi stood in front of the window and saw Qiusheng and Wencai selling stinky tofu pickles along the street, trying to attract the escaped ghosts.

Wang Zhixin said:

The time is almost up, should I go to the Maoshan Ghost Catch Array to see.It's also good to see the Taoism of the disciples of Maoshan, and find out the depth of the truth?Didn't the saying go, if you want to be victorious in every battle, you must know yourself and your enemy!Yes, just go and see!
As soon as he thought of it, Wang Zhi notified the three monks in the channel to gather in his room with weapons, and said to them:

"The people from Maoshan are here, let's also go and see the ghost-catching array they set up, see their cultivation level, and find out the truth!"

Zhuo Yifan heard Wang Zhi said that there was something exciting to watch, so he nodded immediately and said excitedly:

"Okay! Okay! How about, let's kill a few ghosts and practice our hands. It's been so long since we haven't done anything, our hands are itchy!"

Not bothering Zhuo Yifan, the monk said with a blank expression: "Okay, I'll listen to the captain!"

Gangzi nodded and said: "The captain is right, we should go to find out the bottom line of these people, so we should be prepared when we start!"

Wang Zhi saw that the three of them were willing to go, so he stopped talking nonsense and took the three of them out of the inn and out of the town.

As for the place where Maoshan people line up, it is easy to find, because there is only one flat and wide spot outside the town.

Sure enough, when the four of them came to the vicinity, they saw eight tall wooden platforms wrapped in yellow cloth in the open space from a distance.

On each wooden platform stood a few Taoist priests in apricot-yellow Taoist robes, holding a variety of magic weapons in their hands, waiting in full force.

The four used night vision binoculars to observe them from a distance.

After a while, I saw Qiusheng and Wencai shouting: "Master, help! There are so many ghosts!" while running towards the formation.

Wang Zhi let go of the binoculars, flashed his right hand in front of his eyes, and said, "Open the eyes of the sky!"

Seeing Wang Zhi's movements, the three monks immediately cast the spell of 'opening the eyes of the sky'.

After casting the spell, he looked behind the two of them, and saw a large group of ghosts following Qiusheng and the two of them, relentlessly chasing after them.

After a while, Qiu Sheng and the two rushed into the formation with the ghosts behind them.

I saw Maoshan people on the high platform, jumping down from the high platform, a middle-aged man with long beard stood in the formation, raised his hands to the sky, and shouted: "Arise!"

After the words fell, yellow lights flashed on the eight high platforms, and a yellow gossip appeared in the sky above the formation, blocking the entire perimeter of the formation.

I saw the people in Maoshan in the formation waving the magical weapons in their hands, and the rabbits and falcons shuttled among the ghosts. Every time they waved the magic weapons, several ghosts were included in the magic weapons.

But the man with long beard walked among the ghosts with his hands empty and his face gloomy. Every time a ghost wanted to attack him, he would shout loudly and wave his fist with lightning to kill him.

Wang Zhi watched his movements, nodded and said:

"Sure enough, although Maoshan's 'Lightning and Thunder Fist' is powerful, it is not as powerful as our 'Five Thunders'! Judging from his cultivation level, he can only practice Qi at the fourth level! Nothing to be afraid of!"

"In Maoshan, only senior brother Shi Jian has practiced this trick, so he is Maoshan senior brother 'Ben Lei Hand Shi Jian', and most of these people in Maoshan are at the second or third level of Qi training."

"Besides that the power of Taoism is not as good as the four of us, the boxing skills are even worse! It seems that it doesn't take much effort to complete the task!"

The truth and reality of the few people had already been found out, so Wang Zhi had no interest in watching, and said to the three people beside him:

"I'm going back, do you want to continue watching, or go back with me?"

Gangzi and the monk also figured out the reality of their opponents, they didn't intend to continue watching, and nodded to go back with Wang Zhi, but Zhuo Yifan was quite interested in watching.

Wang Zhi ignored him, turned around and walked towards the town.

Gang Zi followed immediately, and the monk grabbed Zhuo Yifan by the collar, dragging him to follow Wang Zhi as well.

Zhuo Yifan who was being dragged shouted:
"Let go, monk, don't drag me away! Okay, can I go back? Don't delay, you are pulling my collar, my neck hurts, you know, don't delay, I will go back with you!"

During the fight between the two, the four returned to the inn all the way. In Wang Zhi's room, Wang Zhi said to the three:

"Tomorrow, let's go to the newly opened western restaurant in the town. If I guess right, Shi Jian and his son will discuss business there tomorrow! That's fine, let's go back and rest if we have nothing to do!"

After listening to Wang Zhi's arrangement, the three went back to their rooms to meditate and practice.

The next morning, the four of them came to this western restaurant. Mary, the owner's daughter, came up to her and asked in English:
"Welcome, how many diners?"

Wang Zhi said unhurriedly in English: "Four, please help us find a seat! Thank you!"

Mary looked at the four of them in surprise, and said to herself:
In such a remote town, there are people who speak English more standard and fluent than me!
Seeing her surprised look, Zhuo Yifan also asked in English: "What's the matter, Miss? Are there no seats?"

Mary was even more surprised when she heard Zhuo Yifan's English, she couldn't help but glanced at the four of them, bowed and said:

"Sorry, if you have a seat, please follow me!"

　All kinds of requests for new books!
