Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

Xia He was a little confused: "Isn't that person from the Lü family born with supernatural abilities?"

Cheng Mo nodded: "It is an innate ability, but it is also an innate ability born from the Dual Hands technique."

Xia He stared at him: "Little Taoist, how much more information are you hiding from me?"

Cheng Mo reminded him, "Your focus is a bit off."

Xia He hugged his arm tightly: "I don't care, you have to explain yourself clearly today."

Cheng Mo rubbed his arm: "I was planning to tell you anyway."

He recounted how Lü Ci had captured Duanmu Ying and had slept with him. Of course, he attributed it all to the old Taoist priest, saying that the old priest had told him, and then added his own speculations.

Xia He suddenly realized: "That's why you were so rude to Lü Ci last time."

Cheng Mo sighed, "Duanmu Ying was a medical genius who devoted herself to others, but she was ruined by Lü Ci."

Xia He said indignantly, "Next time I see that old man, I'll just beat him up."

Cheng Mo shook his head: "That's probably not a good idea."

Xia He asked, puzzled, "What are you afraid of? You've already turned Chen Jinkui, one of the Ten Elders, into an idiot."

Cheng Mo explained, "That's because we have a legitimate reason for doing so, and no one else can find fault with it."

Xia He thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Let's find an opportunity to make him cause trouble for us first."

Cheng Mo's heart stirred.

Lü Huan should be awakening soon, right? If we start with Lü Huan... it seems like we could make a lot of progress.

But let's get Old Ma's matter sorted out first.

Cheng Mo nodded: "Yeah, next time we'll find a chance to deal with that mad dog Lü Ci."

The two returned to the topic of the Double Hand technique.

Xia He said, "You just said that the Lü family's Soul Clarity Technique is the soul aspect of the Dual-Handed Technique. That can't help people break through their superpowers, right? After all, superpowers are mainly physical. So, is that another ability of the Dual-Handed Technique?"

Cheng Mo nodded: "The core of Old Ma's current Body Cultivation Furnace was completed by Qu Tong using her dual-wielding hands. It constructs a living, mutated flesh ball and builds a complete Qi circulation route inside it. When using the Body Cultivation Furnace, it's about using this thing to help those people build Qi circulation routes within their bodies and complete the circulatory cycle."

Xia He frowned: "Doesn't that mean that every superhuman transformed using the Body Cultivation Furnace is Qu Tong's subordinate?"

"Not just subordinates, but family members. Have you forgotten the role of the Blue Hands?" Cheng Mo corrected.

"The manipulation of memories and alteration of cognition are carried out simultaneously. When the physical transformation is completed, their minds are also controlled. Those people have become Qu Tong's puppets. They may still seem to have their own consciousness, but they are willing to sacrifice themselves for Qu Tong as long as she is willing."

Xia He swallowed hard. "If she gains control of the core leadership, wouldn't we be finished?"

Cheng Mo waved his hand: "The people up there are all protected by experts. Also, you should know that even ordinary people can have extremely strong minds. If their free will is high enough, they cannot be easily controlled."

"Understood." Xia He breathed a sigh of relief. "So what do we do now? Does Village Chief Ma know what Qu Tong did?"

Cheng Mo said helplessly, "Old Ma has been brainwashed and controlled."

Xia He looked terrified: "You just said that people with strong wills can't be controlled."

"I meant they won't be easily controlled," Cheng Mo emphasized. "And even Lao Ma was manipulated for who knows how long before he was successfully brainwashed."

Xia He thought for a moment, then asked, "Wait a minute, if Village Chief Ma has been brainwashed, how do you know? Little Taoist priest, do you have some hidden channels?"

Cheng Mo counted on his fingers: "I calculated it."

Xia He suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. Then can you help Village Chief Ma break free from the control?"

Cheng Mo shook his head: "I don't really understand mental stuff, but as long as Qu Tong is killed and no one controls him for a long time, Lao Ma will recover on his own."

Your one-stop haven for novel reading.

Xia He pressed further, "What are you planning to do? Can you figure out Qu Tong's location?"

Cheng Mo shook his head: "That thing seems to be involved in a big problem, it's hard to figure out."

Actually, he hadn't calculated it.

His inner vision was different from others. If such a large ball of light came out, he didn't know if he could still reach in and get the answer like the other balls of light.

If we can't get it, that thing will probably stay in the interior forever, which will be troublesome later.

Therefore, Cheng Mo didn't want to try it for the time being; he figured he would understand these things once he caught Qu Tong.

As long as Qu Tong knows that he is after Ma Xianhong, she will definitely show up.

"Now, we need to stir up trouble and alert the enemy."

Xia He tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Little Taoist priest, what do you think? Why don't we just beat up Village Chief Ma and take him away?"

Cheng Mo looked at her speechlessly: "Why do you always think about hitting people? Am I that violent?"

Xia He counted on her fingers: "You beat the Ten Elders into idiots, you also beat up those two heroes, you burned away that Zhuge Obsession, and you even beat the weird old man into submission—aren't you violent?"

Cheng Mo stroked his chin: "That's true."

Xia He shrugged: "That settles it then. Beating up Village Chief Ma is a piece of cake."

Cheng Mo shook his head: "The follow-up arrangements need to be taken into account. We need to settle things with Qu Tong first, and then ensure Lao Ma's future research environment. Otherwise, if we take him away and Qu Tong comes knocking on our door again, it will all be for nothing."

Xia He leaned closer: "So what exactly is your plan?"

Cheng Mo lowered his voice: "This is what I think... like this and that... like this and that."

Xia He nodded repeatedly: "That's fine, but are you sure Ru Hua and the others won't find us?"

Cheng Mo waved his hand: "Ruhua is a product of weapon crafting. It requires specific conditions to trigger the recognition of hostility and threats. I have no hostility or threat towards Lao Ma, so Ruhua will not react."

Xia He gave a thumbs up.

……

That evening.

Biyou Village was quiet; the moon was obscured by clouds, and only the occasional chirping of insects broke the silence of the night.

Around Ma Xianhong's residence, the women stood motionless in various corners.

Two figures approached silently, their steps so light they were almost imperceptible.

As they passed by Ru Hua, the two completely concealed their inner energy, lowered their heart rate to the lowest point, and reduced their body temperature, passing by Ru Hua like two stones.

The women remained completely unmoved.

Ma Xianhong lay on the bed, the blanket covering his chest, his breathing steady.

The two went to Ma Xianhong's bedside.

Ma Xianhong seemed to sense something; his eyelids twitched a few times, and his fingers moved slightly.

One of the figures slapped him on the forehead with precise force, no more, no less.

Ma Xianhong didn't utter a sound and fell into a deep sleep, his breathing becoming even heavier than before.

Another figure pulled a food pouch from his pocket and aimed it at Ma Xianhong.

whoosh-

Ma Xianhong vanished into thin air and was absorbed into the Devouring Pouch.

After stuffing the food pouch into their pockets, the two figures left hand in hand. As they passed by Ruhua, the women still showed no reaction.

The two walked through the village and into the woods outside.

The moonlight was blocked by the leaves, and the surroundings were pitch black, but the two people's eyes seemed to have long since adapted to the darkness.

The two arrived in front of a large locust tree. The trunk was so thick that it would take two people to encircle it. There was a natural hole at the base of the tree, the entrance of which was covered by wild grass and could not be seen unless you looked carefully.

After putting the food bag inside, the two of them pulled some dry grass from the side to cover it, patted the dust off their hands, turned around and left the forest, returning to Biyou Village.
