Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

Exclusive! An exclusive interview with the author who is asleep and doesn't want to think about anything, and behind-the-scenes information about the creation of "Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain," available only to Cola Novels.

Cheng Mo turned to Ma Xianhong and asked, "Do you know what illness her brother has?"

Ma Xianhong shook his head.

Cheng Mo was speechless: "You don't even know, yet you dare to say you can save her brother?"

Ma Xianhong retorted, "I only said I would do my best; I couldn't guarantee I could save him. But it seems Brother Cheng knows something?"

Cheng Mo raised an eyebrow: "Oh, your brain isn't completely broken yet."

Ma Xianhong smiled wryly: "Brother Cheng, stop teasing me. Show this to Hongzhong; Wu Kui is getting anxious."

Cheng Mo turned to look at Liu Wu Kui, sizing her up and down: "If I'm not mistaken, Kui'er, you should be ten years old, right?"

Xia He was astonished: "He's ten years old?"

Liu Wu Kui looked somewhat dejected and lowered his head: "I've never been tall since I was little."

Cheng Mo squatted down and looked into her eyes: "You're not short, you're just growing slowly. Actually, you know that you and your brother are both born with a virginity to the gods, right?"

A glint of light flashed in Liu Wu Kui's eyes: "You figured it out?"

Ma Xianhong feigned sudden realization: "Oh, so this is the fate of a child born with a virginal destiny. No wonder it's so strange."

Qiu Rang and Ding Ziheng asked at the same time, "What is meant by 'a child born with a virginal destiny'?"

Cheng Mo explained: "Generally speaking, a child's fate is a unique destiny. Some children are reincarnations of celestial beings, and they have abilities that are hard for ordinary people to imagine from birth. They are often weak and sickly, and rare and difficult diseases often appear on them. However, a few children are not only not weak, but are also healthier than ordinary people."

He pointed to Liu Hongzhong: "The former type is called a sick child."

He then pointed to Liu Wu Kui: "The latter type is called the Immortal Child."

Ma Xianhong scratched his head: "What I heard was that the child was possessed by an evil spirit the moment it was born."

Qiu Rang and Ding Ziheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's what we've heard too."

Then the two of them pointed at each other simultaneously: "Didn't you say you didn't know?"

Cheng Mo ignored the two idiots and continued to explain: "Actually, there is another explanation. National champion Wang Zizhong once said that a child's fate is actually a kind of mental mutation. However, most mutations are malignant, just like Hong Zhong's."

He looked at Liu Wu Kui: "But Kui'er is benign. If I'm not mistaken, Kui'er, you should have the abilities of the Five Directions Exorcist, right?"

Liu Wu Kui's eyes widened, his mouth forming an "O": "You could even tell that?"

Cheng Mo chuckled: "No, I just knew the answer in advance."

Liu Wu Kui: "Huh?"

Xia He laughed: "Little Taoist priest, you can even do divination?"

Cheng Mo smiled but didn't explain.

Ma Xianhong looked at Cheng Mo in surprise: "Divination? Brother Cheng has developed Qi?"

Cheng Mo nodded: "Yes, you've added some more tricks to your routine."

Liu Wu Kui grew anxious and pushed the wheelchair forward two steps: "Brother Cheng... do you know my brother's illness? Can it be cured?"

Ma Xianhong interjected, "If it's a case of 'child spirit destiny,' I have a treatment plan."

Liu Wu Kui quickly turned to look at him: "Master!"

Cheng Mo scoffed, "His cultivation furnace is faulty. If you really let him cure your brother, don't even think about it."

Ma Xianhong scratched his head, not denying it: "Brother Cheng noticed. Indeed, it's still a bit short of being a perfect body-cultivating furnace. But it's only a matter of time."

He turned to Liu Wu Kui and said earnestly, "Wu Kui, don't worry, as long as I create the perfect body-cultivating furnace, your brother will be the first one to use it."

Cheng Mo waved his hand: "Who knows how long your thing will take."

He walked up to Liu Hongzhong and patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, it's not difficult to get rid of the 'virginity curse'; just completely shut off the source of sexual desire."

Xia He's eyes lit up: "The process of you sensing Qi in reverse?"

Ma Xianhong and the others were astonished: "This can actually work?"

Cheng Mo nodded and asked Liu Hongzhong, "However, this means you'll be completely cut off from any connection with the Extraordinary Ones."

Before Liu Hongzhong could speak, Liu Wukui shouted, "If we're not meant to be, then we're not meant to be! What use is this so-called extraordinary person?!"

Liu Hongzhong nodded and said softly, "At least I won't be a burden."

Cheng Mo smiled and said, "Close your eyes."

Liu Hongzhong closed his eyes.

Cheng Mo exhaled Qi from his palm, and the Qi flowed into Liu Hongzhong's Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, slowly descending along the meridians.

The Qi in Liu Hongzhong's body was like a tangled mess, scattered here and there, some parts were blocked, some parts were empty, and some parts were running wild.

Cheng Mo's Qi is like a comb, smoothing out the tangled mess from head to toe.

Blocked areas were cleared, empty spaces were filled, and chaotic areas were calmed.

After a full cycle, the Qi within Liu Hongzhong's body finally became orderly and flowed slowly along the meridians.

Liu Hongzhong's face went from pale to sallow, then from sallow to ashen, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead one after another, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

After the Qi flowed through the last acupoint, Cheng Mo suddenly exerted his strength, and the Qi flow rushed straight to the Baihui acupoint, pouring out the mutated energy in a torrent.

Cheng Mo patted Liu Hongzhong several times, and the Qi he exhaled from his palms transformed into a series of seals, completely blocking his meridians and shielding him from Qi sensation.

Liu Hongzhong's spirits lifted, as if a heavy stone that had been pressing on his chest for many years had been lifted, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Liu Wu Kui quickly hugged his brother and looked at Cheng Mo expectantly.

Cheng Mo said, "It's alright. Just practice Baduanjin with us for the next few days, and then practice it every day. You'll be no different from an ordinary person."

Liu Wu Kui immediately tried to kneel down.

Cheng Mo reached out to stop him, but Liu Wu Kui refused to kneel down: "Thank me if you want, we don't do that kind of kneeling."

Tears welled up in Liu Wu Kui's eyes as he nodded vigorously, "Yes."

I silently remember this feeling.

Ma Xianhong was amazed: "Brother Cheng's ability to sense Qi is indeed different from ordinary extraordinary people like us. He's amazing."

Qiu Rang looked disgusted: "Master, if you're acting normally, what are Lao Ding and I compared to you?"

Ding Ziheng nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right."

Ma Xianhong laughed heartily.

Cheng Mo looked at Ma Xianhong and sighed inwardly.

Old Ma's mental state is not right; I don't know if there's any hope for him.

Ugh, this is such a hassle.

Cheng Mo kept this matter in mind and investigated it slowly, since Ma Xianhong's change was at the cognitive level, and there was really nothing he could do about it.

We can't just burn them into idiots and then reassemble them.

Ma Xianhong suddenly asked, "Brother Cheng, would you like to try the Body Cultivation Furnace? I can adjust the parameters according to your situation, which might help you improve the efficiency of your Qi utilization. You can also give me feedback and find more problems."

Cheng Mo waved his hand: "Your thing has too many flaws. I advise you not to use it on other people."

"Brother Cheng, you're wrong to say that. I admit that the Body Refining Furnace still has many flaws," Ma Xianhong said, frowning as he defended himself.

"But without practical testing, it is impossible to improve and perfect it. I have explained in detail to the experimental personnel who use the body-refining furnace the probability of failure and the consequences of failure, and they have all cooperated voluntarily."

Cheng Mo knew there was no point in trying to persuade him now, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Well, I just don't want to now."

Ma Xianhong wasn't annoyed: "It's alright, we can work together to see how to improve the Body Cultivation Furnace from the perspective of mechanics and weapon crafting."

Cheng Mo agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll look at it another day."

But he knew in his heart that without changing the core, no matter how much the body-cultivating furnace was improved, it could not be substantially enhanced.

Liu Wu-kui and his sister ate together here.

After finishing, Cheng Mo took the two siblings back to the house they had stayed in before.

After tidying up, the two of them took Liu Hongzhong to practice his skills.
