At this time, Mr. Fu spoke again, "Comrade Zhang, Gu Mianzhi, can I ask what you want me, Ma Yi, to teach you the Ghost-Slaying Formation?"
Zhang Meng glanced at Gu Mingtai. He soon heard him speak, "A few days ago, a huge pit appeared in a small town in W Province. That pit wiped out the villagers of several nearby villages. I've received reliable information that the pit is actually the entrance to the underworld. The missing villagers were eaten by ghosts that emerged. The only way to suppress the ghosts at this entrance is to set up a formation there."
"This formation is the ghost-killing formation of my Ma Yi Sect!" Mr. Fu's face gradually became serious. Gu Mingtai nodded calmly.
The old man's face was gloomy and silent. Zhang Meng was afraid that he would not agree, so he immediately continued, "Old man, this matter is really important. Please think about it seriously."
The old man looked at her and suddenly smiled. "Comrade Zhang, that old woman with white eyebrows came to see me yesterday. She mentioned something to me. She said she ran into you two at the ghost market. Excuse me, did you really go there?"
Zhang Meng looked at his smiling old face in confusion. Although the old man had a smile on his face, Zhang Meng always felt that the old man was up to some bad idea.
"Comrade Zhang, I thought we were friends. You two wouldn't even be willing to share something like this with an old man like me, would you?"
The old man touched his chest with a look of deep sorrow.
The corners of Zhang Meng's mouth twitched. Did this old man think that they were fools? He dared to act with such poor acting skills.
"Mr. Fu, you'd better stop acting. You really don't look like the character at all!" Zhang Meng said, rubbing his forehead.
The old man's fake annoyed expression froze for a moment, and he immediately turned to look at his apprentice standing behind him, "Was my acting just now very unrealistic?"
Master Wu replied with a forced smile, "Master, your acting just now was very unrealistic."
The old man immediately snorted at him and cursed in a low voice, "I can't act like it, so you do it."
After cursing, without waiting for Sect Leader Wu to speak, the old man immediately turned his head and continued to look at Zhang Meng. He coughed lightly and suddenly said seriously, "Little girl, you have a sharp eye. You actually saw it so quickly."
Zhang Meng pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed a few times.
Gu Mingtai, who had remained silent throughout, spoke again, "Old Master, why did you ask this question just now? What does my trip to the Ghost Market have to do with borrowing your Ma Yi Sect's formation?"
The old man chuckled and rubbed his wrinkled hands together. After rubbing them several times, he finally said with a red face, "I heard that old woman Baimei say that you went to the ghost market and got two Soul Gathering Pills in exchange for a bunch of medicinal herbs. Is that true?"
Zhang Meng raised her eyebrows, already having a vague idea of what he was going to say next.
"Spirit Gathering Pill! Master, it can't be the kind of Spirit Gathering Pill we are thinking of."
At this moment, Sect Leader Wu, who was standing next to Old Man Fu, shouted and asked in surprise, looking at Old Man Fu.
Old Master Fu was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He turned around angrily and glared at the startled Sect Leader Wu, cursing, "You little bastard, why are you making such a fuss behind my back? Are you trying to scare me, your master, to death? And then make the entire Mayi Cult yours, right?"
Sect Leader Wu, whose arm was patted, looked innocent. "Master, I didn't do that. I was just shocked by what you said about the Soul Gathering Pill. I was too excited and spoke a little loudly. Master, I was wrong."
The old man patted his chest and hummed softly.
He quickly turned his head to look at Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, "Is that so?"
Zhang Meng glanced at Gu Mingtai and saw him nod at her. She then admitted to her husband, "That's true. Why are you so interested in this kind of thing, Mr. Fu?"
At this time, Mr. Fu's expression became excited. He immediately stood up and walked to Zhang Meng, "Anything else? Do you have any Spirit Gathering Pills on you?"
Zhang Meng was shocked by the speed at which he walked. Although this old man was very old, his physical strength was probably better than that of any young people.
"Girl, don't be stunned. Come on, tell me, do you still have any Spirit Gathering Pills? Can you give me a few? Or three will do."
After that, Zhang Meng still didn't say a word. The old man showed a heartbroken look and gritted his teeth and said, "Two pills, two pills will do."
After he finished speaking, he waited for a while, but there was still no reply from Zhang Meng. The old man was so angry that he jumped up and down, and shouted, "One pill, no less, one pill will do. Don't you want the ghost-killing formation of our Ma Yi Sect? As long as you give us a spirit-gathering pill, I can teach you this ghost-killing formation."
"Master!" Sect Leader Wu was startled by his master's words and shouted at him loudly.
The old man immediately scratched his ears and glared at Master Wu with an unhappy look on his face, "Why are you shouting so loudly? Your master's ears are not deaf."
Sect Leader Wu's face flushed slightly. After glancing at Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, he immediately walked over to Old Man Fu and whispered, "Master, are you confused? The Ghost-Slaying Formation is the sacred formation of our Mayi Sect. How could you teach it to outsiders? You, you haven't even taught it to me yet."
The old man looked at him and curled his lips. "What are you planning? How could I, your master, not know? You think I didn't teach you the formation, so now you teach it to outsiders, right?"
Having his secrets revealed, Sect Leader Wu blushed profusely. He lowered his head and whispered, "Master, since you've already guessed it, why did you say it out loud? It's so embarrassing."
The old man groaned softly and immediately reached over and grabbed his ear. "Ouch, Master, it hurts. Please be gentle, you're almost pulling my ear off."
Sect Leader Wu said bitterly. Old Master Fu put his hand down and angrily cursed, "You ignorant fellow! I've taught you for so many years. You've wasted my true teachings. Get out of here."
After cursing, Old Man Fu immediately put on a wrinkled smile and looked at Zhang Meng and said, "Comrade Zhang, don't listen to what this brat says. What I mean is what the entire Mayi Cult means. I, Old Man Fu, mean what I say. As long as you give me a Spirit Gathering Pill, I can teach you the Ghost Slaying Formation you want right away."
Zhang Meng did not answer him, but looked towards Gu Mingtai first.
