“The wretch,” Master Wei replied.

"'Worm-headed Barbarian'? What's that?" Mao Er asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know either. It seems to be very spiritual, and it even said something about ‘the old nun of Emei being very charming.’ This thing is probably not easy to deal with,” Master Wei said with a heavy heart.

"Hehehe... a 'wriggling barbarian'?" Upon hearing this, the old nun from Emei laughed like a little girl again, her lewd gaze sweeping over Secretary Xing's genitals. She said meaningfully, "This old nun would like to try dealing with this 'wriggling barbarian'..."

"Old nun, no..." Mao Da and Mao Er hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

That night, Master Wei returned to his room next door and lay on his bed, racking his brains to figure out how to break the evil creature "Worm-Headed Barbarian." Meanwhile, Mao Da and Mao Er went back to the hospital with the old nun from Emei.

In the early hours of the morning, with the moon and stars sparse and the Big Dipper setting in the west, a dark figure quietly slipped out of the county hospital's inpatient department and headed straight for the small hotel. This was the old nun from Emei.

Inside the room, Secretary Xing was still fast asleep, snoring loudly.

The old nun from Emei gently pushed open the door, then casually closed and locked it. She tiptoed to the bedside and, by the dim moonlight, gazed tenderly at Secretary Xing's imposing face...

The old nun from Emei was originally a well-known qigong therapist in Beijing. She could emit external qi from her hands to kill or eliminate viruses and bacteria on the surface and inside the organs of patients. She frequently treated kidney deficiency for some high-ranking officials, and thus became acquainted with many lecherous leading cadres. Now, although she is in her early forties, her seductive charm is no less than that of a young woman; no wonder even the usually upright Secretary Xing was left dizzy with her allure.

"You bastard..." The old nun from Emei chuckled lewdly, reached out and tore a thin piece of paper from the calendar hanging on the wall of the guest room. She removed Secretary Xing's socks, then tore off two small pieces of the paper, moistened them with her saliva, and carefully stuck them to the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of his feet. Then she bent down and gently blew on the paper...

A moment later, seeing Secretary Xing's crotch slowly bulge, the old nun smiled slightly and continued blowing, thinking to herself, what "wriggling barbarian" possession? As long as it's a man, they all get erections the same...

Yongquan acupoint is the main acupoint of the kidney meridian in the human body. When a man is asleep, if a piece of paper is soaked in water and placed on his forehead and fanned, he will have a wet dream, then an erection, and eventually nocturnal emission. The old nun once used this method to cure many retired cadres, making them regain their youth and have extra energy for work.

The old nun from Emei Mountain skillfully unbuttoned Secretary Xing's trousers...

"Hmph, the old nun from Emei is indeed incredibly lewd..." Suddenly, the old nun seemed to hear someone chuckle.

"Who?" The old nun was startled and quickly looked around, but there was no one else in the room...

"Don't bother looking, I'm a Ruotou Man," the voice said.

The old nun from Emei Mountain looked down at Secretary Xing's face and saw that he was still fast asleep.

"Are you the evil entity possessing Secretary Xing?" the old nun asked quietly.

"So what?" Secretary Xing's lips moved slightly, but his eyes remained closed.

After a moment's thought, the old nun from Emei immediately understood. Master Wei could communicate with the Woo-tou Barbarians using Maoshan magic, but she herself could not. Therefore, the evil spirit spoke through Secretary Xing's mouth, just like the weasel spirits in the countryside possessing people.

"You barbarian, could you show yourself so this old nun can have a look at you?" the old nun from Emei asked with a grin.

The worm remained silent.

Old Ni thought for a moment, then suddenly leaped onto the bed and pounced on Secretary Xing. While unbuttoning his Zhongshan suit, she chuckled, "Alright, let's see where this evil thing is hiding... Huh, what's this?" She pulled a fist-sized bone skull from Secretary Xing's jacket pocket, examining it closely in the moonlight. Suddenly, she felt two opposing forces—one warm, one cool—penetrate her palm's Laogong acupoint, leaving her horrified...

Old Ni sensed that this was definitely not an ordinary biological aura, but some kind of pure natural yin and yang energy. Strange, it clearly looked like a shrunken human skull. In any case, it must be a treasure, and it would be perfect for practicing martial arts.

The old nun from Emei was no longer in the mood for leisure. She put the skull into her pocket, then quietly climbed out of bed, quickly opened the door, and ran out like a wisp of smoke.

Instead of returning to the inpatient department, she went straight to Wulaofeng that very night...

As dawn broke, Master Wei stepped out of his guest room and was surprised to find that Secretary Xing's door next door was wide open. He went inside and found Secretary Xing still fast asleep.

"Hey, Secretary Xing, it's dawn, time to get up." Master Wei stepped forward and nudged him.

Secretary Xing slowly woke up, shook his head, and clicked his tongue, saying, "This mulberry wine has quite a strong aftereffect..."

“The wretch-headed barbarians,” Master Wei said.

"What did you say?" Secretary Xing was suddenly stunned.

“What I mean is that the evil thing inside you is ‘Worm-Headed Barbarian’,” Master Wei added.

Secretary Xing was greatly surprised upon hearing this. How did this old Taoist know?

“Secretary Xing,” Master Wei continued, “last night, while you were fast asleep, I used Maoshan spiritual communication techniques to communicate with that evil creature, which called itself ‘Worm-Headed Barbarian.’”

"What else did it say?" Secretary Xing asked calmly.

Master Wei pondered and said, "This evil creature is extremely intelligent, quick-witted, and can even remember people..."

"Whom do you want me to remember?" Secretary Xing was afraid that Ru Tou Man might slip up and say something inappropriate.

"It says the old nun from Emei is really flirtatious," Master Wei said, frowning with disgust.

"Oh..." Secretary Xing was slightly relieved.

"Did you get up last night?" Master Wei asked.

"No, that's right." Secretary Xing gave an affirmative answer.

"Strange, how did your door end up open? I clearly closed it myself when I left..." Master Wei's gaze inadvertently fell on Secretary Xing's feet, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What are those acupoints on your Yongquan points?"

Secretary Xing lifted his feet, puzzled, and saw that there were indeed small pieces of paper stuck to the soles of both feet. He muttered to himself, "Strange, where did these pieces of paper come from..."

"Senior brother, has the old nun arrived here?" At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the courtyard, and Mao Da and Mao Er rushed in, panting as they asked.

"No," Master Wei replied.

"Old Nun is missing..." Mao Er said anxiously, when suddenly he noticed the piece of paper on Secretary Xing's Yongquan acupoint on the sole of his foot. "Ah, so Old Nun was here!"

"What did you say?" Master Wei frowned in dissatisfaction.

“That piece of paper…” Mao Er pointed at Secretary Xing’s soles, blushing as he said, “This is the old nun’s ‘Nourishing the Origin and Strengthening the Kidneys’ exercise, which we have all done before.”

Mao Da nodded and said, "Senior brother, this is indeed the old nun's technique."

"But I slept through the whole night, and Master Wei just woke me up..." Secretary Xing unconsciously touched his pocket and exclaimed, "Oh no, the 'Ghost Pot' is gone!"

"What 'ghost pot'?" Master Wei asked, puzzled.

"Well... it's an antique, a family heirloom," Secretary Xing stammered in response.

"It seems that the old nun from Emei returned to this house in the early morning, performed a 'Kidney Strengthening Exercise' for Secretary Xing, and stole his antiques again," Master Wei analyzed.

"No, Old Ni is definitely not the kind of person who steals other people's things," Mao Da argued, his face flushed.

“Old Ni is a girl of high moral character,” Mao Er added.

Master Wei's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Then, we'll find out by asking the old nun."

That day, everyone searched all over Yongji County, but couldn't find any trace of the old nun from Emei. Mao Da and Mao Er were extremely anxious.

Secretary Xing was furious. He had risked his life to obtain the "Ghost Pot" and intended to give it to his father, Li Dihuo. Now, this harlot had stolen it. If this were in Huanglong Prefecture, he would have ordered the police to arrest her long ago.

"Does the old nun from Emei have any place to stay outside Yongji City?" Master Wei asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, perhaps she still has some social connections in Yongji," Secretary Xing nodded in agreement.

Mao Da and Mao Er shook their heads together and said, "No, we've never heard of that... Oh, right..."

"What?" Master Wei pressed.

"The small wooden house on the top of Tianzhu Peak of Wulao Peak..." Mao Da and Mao Er said in unison.

Chapter 197

At dawn, a ray of sunlight slanted across the top of Tianzhu Peak, while clouds and mist swirled among the peaks, and a gentle breeze rustled through the air.

The old nun from Emei stood blankly in front of the ruins of the small wooden house. She didn't know that the wooden house had long been burned to the ground by Jia Shiming, and now, all that could be seen in front of her were a few charred pieces of wood and a pile of ashes.

"Alas..." The old nun from Emei sighed deeply and slowly walked down Tianzhu Peak.

The Five Old Men Peaks cover an area of 2,000 square kilometers, with 36 unique peaks of varying sizes, 12 caves, and 9 major springs and waterfalls. Countless practitioners have built simple wooden huts in caves or forests to begin their austere practice. Some, for various reasons, leave the caves or huts, only to be taken over by new practitioners. Thus, the old nun from Emei wandered aimlessly among the Five Old Men Peaks, finally finding an empty, simple wooden hut at the foot of Taiyi Peak. Inside were some basic necessities and a small bag of rice and flour, enough to last for a few days.

Old Ni sat on the wooden bed and took out the strange skull.

This is a dense, irregularly shaped bony sphere, about the size of a goose egg, with a hollow cavity in the middle and six holes on the surface, from which you can see the two eye sockets, nasal cavity, oral cavity, and two ear canals.

This is probably the skull of a fetus... otherwise, how could it be so small? Old Ni thought, but she still couldn't understand how there could be two different yin and yang energies emanating from inside the skull. Old Ni pondered deeply, and the sun set without her noticing. The moon rose in the east, and the wooden house was shrouded in a hazy glow.

The old nun from Emei finally succumbed to her weakness, clutching the skull, and slowly closed her eyes, falling asleep. She had a dream: the sky was a deep, almost black, blue; the earth was a yellowish-brown; banners fluttered across the plains, horns wailed, war drums thundered, and the sounds of battle shook the heavens. Countless soldiers clad in animal skins, wielding spears and halberds, clashed fiercely in the wilderness. Suddenly, a pack of wild beasts—bears, grizzly bears, pixiu, xiu, chubby tigers, and others—appeared from nowhere and joined the fray, resulting in a carnage where corpses littered the ground and blood flowed like rivers. Suddenly, a fierce wind arose across the plains, the sky darkened, thick fog rolled in, and lightning flashed, obscuring everything…

Meanwhile, under the cool moonlight, Master Wei, Mao Da and Mao Er, and Secretary Xing had already climbed to the top of Tianzhu Peak overnight.

"Huh? How did Old Ni's little wooden house burn down?" Mao Da said in surprise, looking at the ruins.

"It seems to have been burning for a long time," Mao Er added, sniffing the air.

Master Wei asked his two junior disciples, "Does the old nun from Emei know that this wooden house has been burned down?"

“We don’t know either,” Mao Da and Mao Er replied, shaking their heads.

Master Wei pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "It seems we have no choice but to summon the 'Green Fly of Maoshan' to track down the old nun's whereabouts." With that, he squatted down, opened his canvas travel bag, and took out a small wooden box. The box was bluish-black, resembling a small coffin, with a general summoning talisman engraved on it.

Master Wei gently opened the wooden box lid. Inside, a bright green fly, about half an inch in size, was sleeping, emitting a soft snoring sound...

"Such a huge green bean fly!" Secretary Xing exclaimed in amazement.

Master Wei explained, "These are no ordinary flies; they are tracking flies specially bred by Maoshan Gu techniques. No matter where the target is hiding, it can find it."

"The world is so big, there are so many wonders," Secretary Xing thought with deep emotion.

“My two junior brothers, do you have any of the old nun’s belongings? Such as clothing, jewelry, etc., as long as they have the old nun’s scent.” Master Wei asked.

"This humble Taoist priest..." Mao Da blushed, stammering. In order to find the old nun as soon as possible, he didn't care about anything else and slowly pulled out a pink pair of lace-trimmed panties from his bosom...

"Mao Da, you stole Old Ni's underwear..." Mao Er's face turned red as he angrily accused him.

Master Wei frowned in anger and shouted, "Is there nothing else besides underwear?"

"Senior Brother, I have some of this old nun's hair here..." Mao Er said with considerable pride.

"Take it out," Master Wei ordered.

Mao Er took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, opened it layer by layer, and inside was another yellow paper package. After opening it again, more than ten strands of black, shiny hair, each over a foot long, were finally revealed...

"Hey, Mao Er, something's not right. These two are..." Mao Da, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed that two of the hairs were shorter and had curled ends...

Mao Er's face immediately turned red, and he stammered, unable to answer.

Master Wei began chanting the Maoshan incantation, then blew a breath onto the green fly inside the box... The green fly slowly awoke, opened its two large compound eyes, flapped its thin wings, and "buzzed" out of the wooden box, landing on the tip of the master's nose.

Master Wei pointed at the old nun's underwear and hair, and muttered a few more incantations.

A greenbottle fly landed lightly on the underwear, sniffed it, and seemed to find the smell somewhat unpleasant. It swayed a few times, then flew into the air to the hair held in Mao's hands. After circling a few times, it plunged its head into the two short, curled hairs, gently lifting them with its six tentacles and licking them incessantly, seemingly quite intoxicated...

Secretary Xing stared at the green fly in surprise, then glanced at Master Wei.

"The Maoshan green fly, it's... male," Master Wei said, looking quite embarrassed.

At that moment, the Maoshan green fly flapped its wings and took flight, buzzing in front of Master Wei before flying straight down the mountain.

"Hurry up and follow it!" Master Wei hurriedly ordered, picked up his travel bag and chased after it. Secretary Xing glanced at Mao Da and Mao Er, and followed closely behind.

Mao Da reluctantly stuffed the pink underwear back into his pocket, while Mao Er gave Mao Da an arrogant glance before carefully wrapping up the hair and stuffing it into his inner pocket. The two of them went down the mountain one after the other.
