Chapter 198 The Story of Madam Chee 1
Tan Xiaohui did not explain much on the phone, but her ssage was clear and simple: Co over now .
Once Ye Shaoyang hung up the phone, he explained what he heard to Old Guo . Old Guo was puzzled as well, so he said, “I think you should go over and check it out now . My work here is almost done . I will send the items straight to the village once the weapons are completed . Just let know if you are heading to the village today . ”
Ye Shaoyang agreed . The couple walked Ye Shaoyang to the front door . Mrs . Guo even gave him a bag of tea eggs . She said that she made them herself and that he had to take them .
It was such a nice gesture, Ye Shaoyang had no choice but to take them . He hopped into a taxi and headed straight to Tan Xiaohui’s hotel . He knocked on the door to the room number she told him and a young pretty girl opened the door .
Ye Shaoyang froze for a second before he apologized, “I am sorry . I must have knocked on the wrong door . ”
“It’s the right door, Master Ye . Please, co in . ”
“You are…?”
The young girl smiled, “Co in, you will find out . ”
Upon entering, Ye Shaoyang saw Tan Xiaohui sitting comfortably on the couch . Indeed, it was the right room . Sitting across Tan Xiaohui was a young man in his twenties . He had short, tidy hair and wore a long-sleeved shirt and a chain of Buddhist beads around his neck . He looked humble and wise .
However, at first sight, Ye Shaoyang could already sense that sothing was wrong in this person . He had a faint stream of demon Qi in him, but it was mixed with a stream of Gang Qi, sothing that could only be found in sorcerers .
“This is the friend I was waiting for . Her na is Wang Ting . She is just like , so I guess I don’t need to explain too much on that . ”
Once Tan Xiaohui introduced Wang Ting to Ye Shaoyang, she blinked at him, “Master Ye, nice to et you . I have heard so much about you . I have always assud you to be a middle-aged man . I did not expect you to be so young . ”
Ye Shaoyang calmly smiled, but he was secretly surprised . The girl looked like she was at most fifteen years old . It was certainly hard to imagine that she was a sorcerer . Luckily, she was a white witch instead of a black witch . With such an innocent face like a doll, she could easily catch anyone by surprise .
“And this is,” Tan Xiaohui pointed at the young man, “A lotus kulapati of Wu-Tai Mountain . ”
The young man stood up and greeted Ye Shaoyang with his palms clasped as he bowed, “With the soul of Luo Jia, co the spirit of Bodhi . I am a kulapati . My na is Teng Yongqing . Greetings, Master Ye . ”
“Heavenly Master from Maoshan, Ye Shaoyang,” Ye Shaoyang returned the greeting with a bow .
Tan Xiao Hui and Wang Ting looked at the two n in confusion, “What are you guys talking about? Why does it sound like a secret passcode used by a mafia?”
Ye Shaoyang smiled . As cultivators, it didn’t matter which sect they were from, they were all sorcerers . Big sects like Maoshan and Luo Jia had always been in constant connection with each other . They would even et up once every few years in a Buddhist-Daoist Vesak Day . The leaders of each sect knew each other well .
In fact, originally when sorcerers t, they would greet each other with even more complicated greetings . However, as ti went by, they realized that the greeting rituals were too complicated and impractical . Thus, it was simplified into such a version where sorcerers greeted each other by declaring their sect .
For Maoshan sect, Qing Yunzi was quite an introvert . He rarely took in disciples or attended social events like the Vesak Day . Thus, Ye Shaoyang had never t any sorcerers from other sects other than a few from the Longhu Sect . However, he knew the proper greeting ritual .
Ye Shaoyang stared at Teng Ying Qing, “Are you a human?” But he quickly realized that he sounded rude, so he quickly explained, “I ant you are not a normal person . ”
That sounded offensive as well . He scratched his head while he tried hard to co up with better words . Teng Yongqing smiled, “Master Ye, you have eyes like an x-ray . You are right, I am not human . I am half-demon . I am the one Tan Xiaohui told you about, the descendant of Madam Chee . ”
Ye Shaoyang was stunned . A descendant of Madam Chee, a half-demon, how did he beco a monk?
Ye Shaoyang turned to Tan Xiaohui in search of an answer .
“I know what you want to ask,” Tan Xiaohui said . “He was the one who approached . Let’s skip the details . It is not important, so I don’t want to dwell on it . There are more important matters that he should tell you about . ”
Ye Shaoyang sat down on the couch and took out the tea eggs Mrs . Guo had given him, “These were given to by a close friend . Freshly made tea eggs: have so . ”
While Tan Xiaohui and Wang Ting took one each, Ye Shaoyang handed one to Teng Yongqing, “Have one too . ”
Teng Yongqing politely declined, “I am a kulapati, so I am strictly vegetarian . ”
Ye Shaoyang smiled as he signaled Teng Yongqing to start with his story .
With one hand holding the Buddhist beads, Teng Yongqing looked into Ye Shaoyang’s eyes and started to recount the story of Madam Chee:
“It is true that Madam Chee is a demon with a cultivation of a few hundred years . She was already a supre demon before she t my great-grandfather . During the late Qing Dynasty, she was cultivating on a mountain when she t my great- grandfather, who was also a sorcerer . ”
“What?” Ye Shaoyang yelled . Is this a love story between a man and a demon?
“Yup . My great-grandfather’s na was Teng Zhongyun . He was a folk sorcerer, but he was fortunate enough to learn from a Luo Jia sect sorcerer, so he was quite powerful . Of course, he was not as strong as you, Master Ye, but he was one of the best in Stone City during his ti . The Teng Clan was quite a big clan . We had six villages in the area . My great-grandfather was the clan leader .
“To make things easy for you, I will address them by their nas . Teng Zhongyun was staying near the mountain where Madam Chee resided so it was no surprise that he soon found out about her . Although she had never caused any harm to anyone in the village, a powerful demon living near the village was seen as a threat . , so Teng Zhongyun took action . He went up the mountain to hunt for Madam Chee .
“He was no match for Madam Chee, and she easily defeated him . However, Madam Chee did not harm him; she did not even capture him . I am not really sure what happened in between, but love soon blossod between them . ”
Ye Shaoyang sighed . Demons could shift shape easily, so they always appeared attractive . It happened countless tis before since the beginning of ti . A sorcerer in love with a demon was not sothing usual, but it happened .
“Soon, they decided to be together . Teng Zhongyun was head over heels . He found an excuse to go away for a while, and when he ca back he brought Madam Chee ho . He told everyone that he bought her to be his wife from a faraway town and nad her Madam Chee . It was during the ti of war, so it was chaos everywhere and nobody suspected anything . In fact, she was a pretty woman and she treated everyone nicely, so everybody liked her . ”
Teng Zhongyun paused and sighed before he continued his story, “At first, Madam Chee had no other wishes than to be together with Teng Zhongyun . I know that there are rumors that say Madam Chee cultivated the dark path and killed so villagers, but it is not true . Madam Chee cultivated the bright path, and she did not kill anyone during that ti . Otherwise, Teng Zhongyun would not choose to be with her even if she was beautiful . ”
