HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
217 - Duan Wenyang

Xiao Shuxiang did not know who Duan Wenyang was. Perhaps, the figure before him was a legend in the past. This figure had existed for hundreds of thousands of years and he himself could not possibly live that long. Even if you have to calculate how many years in all of your reincarnations.


Xiao Shuxiang breathed softly and then put his hands together, he said. "This layman apologizes for not knowing the greatness of the name of the Great Teacher,"


It would have never occurred to Xiao Shuxiang himself that he would easily pay his respects, including polite speech to others. This kind of action from him could even be counted on the finger.


Duan Wenyang smiled faintly looking at the respect given by the young figure before him. He himself was a practitioner and a legend in the cultivation world.


Duan Wenyang had an unusually great heyday. No one knows his big name. But indeed, times have changed and now the fame of his name fades. Only those who were as old as the Crazy Beggar Boy might still know this name.


Two Wenyang nodded softly as a sign that he received the respect of the young man before him. He looked straight ahead and said, "This simple one doesn't have much time. This piece of soul will soon disappear. Young man, listen well."


Xiao Shuxiang actually wanted to ask a lot of things. But hearing that, he abandoned his intentions. He had actually guessed that the figure before him must have asked for his help to do something.


"This simple one has made a very regrettable mistake. This soul will not experience tranquility before paying for this mistake. Only, this simple one is no longer bound in the mortal world."


Xiao Shuxiang breathed slowly and then fused his hands together. He said, "Great Teacher please give the order. This civilian will listen,"


"..............." Duan Wenyang stepped up and then reached out his hand. He also touched Xiao Shuxiang's head which made the young man flinch.


!!


Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously closed his eyes. He was actually very nervous, worried if his safety was in danger. He was just trying to be nice so that all of this would be done quickly and he could go back to where he was, out of this strange realm.


"This simple one doesn't have enough soul power. Can't bring down any skills and techniques on you. This simple one can only share the understanding that you can use to exterminate this old soul-infested uneasiness,"


"When you wrote that book. This simple one gave a little piece of his soul so that the book could never be destroyed, even by time. This simple one regrets it very much,"


"You have one part of the book and you have the heart of my disciple. For a very long time this simple one was shrouded in regret and sorrow, now this old soul can calm down again. Thank you,"


Xiao Shuxiang still felt something warm touch his head and the same thing flowed in his blood.


This feeling made his mind calm, his heart even felt warm. This book that Great Master Duan Wenyang had said was most likely the Sun Killing Book, and Xiao Shuxiang had gained the understanding to exterminate the book.


Xiao Shuxiang slowly started to open his eyes and was surprised by the circumstances around him that had already changed. He had returned to a dark place and was full of herbal scents. This was the pot before.


The walls in this pot still had ancient carvings, only that the light had turned dark red. Xiao Shuxiang saw the carving move and floated around him.


!!


The ancient carvings gathered at one point, right in front of Xiao Shuxiang and then condensed. He formed an object that is none other than a full chapter of the Book of the Killer Sun.


Xiao Shuxiang reached out and grabbed it. He read the earliest writing that apparently addressed, 'Great Healing'. This was a great fortune from the many hardships he had endured.


"..............." Xiao Shuxiang swallowed. He blinked and tried to digest his current situation. He seems to be thinking.


Needless to say, Xiao Shuxiang was very confident that that Great Master Duan Wenyang was the figure who had written the Sun Killing Book. This meant that Duan Wenyang was the Shizun of the Mad Beggar Boy.


Although Xiao Shuxiang himself had questions about some matters. One of them was that Great Master Duan Wenyang mentioned that he was his disciple, whereas all this time-Xiao-Shuxiang was sure that in the past he had never been appointed a disciple by anyone.


The other question was related to the remark of Grand Master Duan Wenyang who said that he had the heart of the disciple of that figure. Xiao Shuxiang did not understand this at all.


It was possible that Great Master Duan Wenyang had mistakenly thought that he was someone else. It is possible, because the soul of the figure has been very weakened to be able to misidentify people. Xiao Shuxiang would assume this was the correct answer, rather than thinking too much about it.


"Great Healing ...." Xiao Shuxiang muttered as he watched the thing in his hand.


"She did not pass on any great moves to me, but the understanding of breaking this thing actually made my heart very calm. Completely calm .... I even felt that my body was very light,"


Xiao Shuxiang took a slow breath and suddenly gasped when he realized there was another change in him. "This .... Wow..! How could I suddenly remember the Soul Control Sutra?! Wait..!"


Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times. His face revealed an expression that seemed to have not expected this to happen. His expression could not hide the pleasure.


"This ... My brain suddenly became diluted. Wow..! It felt like I was turning into a smart person. I can really remember the Soul Control Sutra," Xiao Shuxiang was shocked by his own talent.


"Delin' Boy..! Did you finish it?!"


Xiao Shuxiang gasped at the cry from Elder Meng Hao Niang. He inserted the object in his hand into the Spatial Ring and then darted out of the pot.


Outside, Elder Meng Hao Niang appeared to be standing with a face that looked rather ugly. He said, "What are you doing in there? I've been calling you ever since. Are you sleeping?!"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched and then frowned. He said, "Chairman Meng. Isn't this all because of you? You're the one who made me have to go through that kind of weird thing?"


"What do you mean?"


Xiao Shuxiang blinked. He looked at the look on the face of Elder Meng Hao Niang who seemed to know nothing. He subconsciously said, "You-you don't know?"


"What should I know?"


Xiao Shuxiang watched Elder Meng Hao Niang intently and it was indeed not visible that this woman had caused him to experience such a strange occurrence just now.


Xiao Shuxiang thought to himself, "It looks like Elder Meng also has no idea about the carvings that are inside his pot-"


"What exactly are you?" Elder Meng Hao Niang frowned. He looked at the young man before him.


Xiao Shuxiang coughed and then said, "The dust inside your sacred object is very thick and the lingering aroma of the herbs is hurting my smell greatly. You must have done it on purpose, right?"


Elder Meng Hao Niang snorted, "Seeing your situation .... Looks like you fainted in there. So is everything clean?"


"Stay out the rest of the shit, I'll do it." Xiao Shuxiang said as he looked ogah-ogahan. He darted and went back into the pot.


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled. Seeing the reaction of Elder Meng Hao Niang made him feel that the woman was indeed not involved. It was possible that Elder Meng Hao Niang did not even know about Grand Master Duan Wenyang and the part of the Ancient Book that turned out to be the carving inside this huge pot.


Xiao Shuxiang did his job well and when finished-at the same time Zhang Xiao Lian came to visit Elder Meng Hao Niang.


"..............."


Xiao Shuxiang knew Zhang Xiao Lian. She was a disciple of Elder Jiao Feng and was a girl who was always dressed in white with a facial expression as cold as Ling Qing Zhu.


"..............."


To Zhang Xiao Lian himself, he also knew Xiao Shuxiang. The young man was the servant who had become the guardian of the Great Elder Dao Fang An.


Xiao Shuxiang walked up to Elder Meng Hao Niang and then said, "I'm done with my duties. And you seem to have guests, too. So, if there's nothing else you want. Then-"


"I still need help," Elder Meng Hao Niang interjected and made Xiao Shuxiang instantly complain.


"Chairman Meng-"


"Xiao Lian will learn to concoct pills. You helped him prepare the ingredients,"


"What?!" Xiao Shuxiang flinched and then looked at the beautiful girl who had only put on an expression like a frozen iceberg. Xiao Shuxiang's feelings had suddenly become uneasy.


"This ...." Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his nape, "Can't anyone else? I've cleaned your pot and I'm so dirty now. This lovely lady will likely feel uncomfortable,"


Elder Meng Hao Niang said, "No problem. You only smell herbal anyway. That won't bother you. Right, right?"


Zhang Xiao Lian looked at Elder Meng Hao Niang as the woman asked for her opinion. He turned his gaze to Xiao Shuxiang and then nodded slowly. A sign that he could accept the condition of this young man.


Xiao Shuxiang smiled bitterly. He actually wanted to immediately go to his room and see the passage from the Sun Killing Book he had just obtained. He also wanted to immediately meet the Mad Beggar Boy to discuss something, but Elder Meng Hao Niang gave him another task again.


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, "Alright. It's not a problem. There was no harm in being around alchemists. I might be able to learn something else,"
