Chapter 340: Magnificent Immortal’s Depository of Buddhist Texts
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Spending ti with Zhai Yin felt like being possessed by a ghost... another way to put it was that this Zhai Yin was harder to deal with than a ghost. Now that Wang Ling had given him a warning in the Wang family's small villa, he didn't follow them upstairs. But in fact, after leaving the villa the last ti, Wang Ming had personally raised the issue with President Qi. If it hadn't been for President Qi's directive, it was likely that Zhai Yin might have continued to be bull-headed about following Wang Ming everywhere.
As soon as they got back to the room on the second floor, Wang Ming flopped onto the bed as if it was his own; he truly felt utterly drained.
The most troubleso part was that Zhai Yin wasn't afraid of Wang Ming complaining about him to President Qi at all; this was obvious in his attitude after he had entered the villa. When all was said and done, it was President Qi who had roped him in with much difficulty, and he couldn't just dismiss Zhai Yin at will. At most, Wang Ming could only submit his complaints.
This was the so-called "easy to invite a spirit in, but difficult to get rid of them."
Of course, there were a lot of complicated factors involved. One of them was that Wang Ming was soone under state protection, so in theory he couldn't reject whoever they had arranged to protect him. As a state researcher, he couldn't get away from Zhai Yin's "protection," not even when he was just doing everyday research. That feeling of being stared at all the ti was truly painful.
"Ling Ling! I want to die!"
Wang Ming grumbled on the bed. "Do you know, this guy is from the Magnificent Immortal Special Army Brigade."
Wang Ling's expression couldn't help twitching at this na. Since encountering No. 60 High School's school guard Old Li, he had privately started to find out about the structure of the national special combat forces. The Magnificent Immortal Special Army Brigade stood on top of all these special forces and was a leader's division that had direct jurisdiction over many special forces. Compared with the Magnificent Immortal Special Army Brigade, Old Li's Seven Stars was just a small branch.
Anyone who ca out of Magnificent Immortal was an expert with strength that was definitely not ordinary.
"Now you probably know the reason why President Qi pulled him in and can't dismiss him so easily, right?" Wang Ming looked at Wang Ling and sighed helplessly. "Also, this guy has a special identity..."
Wang Ling: "?"
"Magnificent Immortal has the largest depository of Buddhist texts in the whole of Huaxiu nation. It has many secret martial arts manuscripts that have been handed down since ancient tis. In order to safeguard this depository back then, the country established a special force to guard it round the clock. That was the beginning of this Magnificent Immortal," Wang Ming said. "Do you know the sweeper high monk 1 ?"
"..." Wang Ling nodded.
"This guy's identity is similar to the high monk's; he used to watch the depository, and his position was like that of a librarian. What kind of idiot would let themselves be dragged over here by Old Qi..."
Wang Ling: "..."
...
Perhaps it was because he had been tornted relentlessly by Zhai Yin during this period, but Wang Ming spent half an hour upstairs venting his pain before he was able to release the stifling grievances in his heart. He knew that Wang Ling's bedroom had a soundproof barrier, thus he completely wasn't afraid of Zhai Yin hearing him.
It had been pretty good when no one had followed him around before, but now that Zhai Yin was always with him, even checking his phone ssages from ti to ti, it really got on Wang Ming's nerves.
But even though he was spouting all these complaints, Wang Ling actually knew that Wang Ming had his own motives.
Since he couldn't drive Zhai Yin away, he would make full use of him. Apart from protecting Wang Ming, there was actually another large potential that could be exploited here... In so sense, Wang Ming thought that Zhai Yin's brain was also a fine rarity which wouldn't lose out to his most powerful brain. After all, Zhai Yin had been at the depository of Buddhist texts for hundreds of years – his whole being was now a walking depository!
Wang Ming: "Ling... given the huge amount of knowledge Zhai Yin has, do you think there are any records in the depository that might help to cultivate?"
Wang Ling's lips twitched. "..."
What crazy thoughts was this guy having...
Since young, Wang Ming had been unable to cultivate because of his physique, which wasn't sothing that could be changed easily. Of course, if he really wanted to cultivate, it wasn't like he couldn't. Wang Ling knew a forbidden spell which involved an equivalent exchange. However, Wang Ming's most valuable asset was his brain – exchanging it for the chance to cultivate... in Wang Ling's eyes, this would be an utterly stupid trade.
If you didn't even have your brain, what kind of freaking cultivation could you do?!
"There are a lot of things inside Magnificent Immortal's depository which you would never have heard of or seen before. Who knows, it may have a technique to help you contain your aura so that you won't need to use the talisman seal anymore!"
Wang Ming cupped his chin and looked at Wang Ling seriously. "Ling, how about you knock Zhai Yin out, then I can cut his head open to study his brain?"
Wang Ling: "..." Who on earth would consider this scary thought so seriously...
Ignoring Wang Ming's wild imagination, Wang Ling directly opened his Heavenly Eye and took out the Heavenly Materials sword from his vision field to give to Wang Ming.
Wang Ming patted his head. It wasn't until he saw this sword that he rembered his real business!
"I'll take this sword back and study it." Wang Ming nodded his head as he put it in his storage ring. The ring was charged with spirit energy, otherwise Wang Ming, who lacked spirit energy, wouldn't be able to operate the the storage space at all. When the ring ran out of spirit energy, he would recharge it; a full charge could last up to roughly a week.
This was Wang Ming's specialty: researching and inventing cultivation magic treasures which were fused with black technology.
"Oh, that's right; Lingzi, I have sothing to give you."
He took out an egg-sized object the size of his palm from the storage ring and handed it to Wang Ling.
"You probably don't know, but this is auntie's ti capsule. Before you were born, all of auntie's novel drafts were placed in this capsule. At that ti, uncle and auntie asked to store them, so I took them back to my lab and created a ti capsule." Speaking up to this point, Wang Ming looked embarrassed. "However, there was a small accident at the ti..."
"?" Wang Ling had a puzzled expression on his face as he held the capsule in his hand.
"Back then, when General Yi was pursuing the old devil, he planned to activate the power of the Stone Gate and send the surveillance chip which I'd developed back into the past. But before that, that bunch of people decided to test it out first with sothing else."
Wang Ling: "..."
When he said this, Wang Ming covered his face helplessly. "I don't know which dumbass then sent this ti capsule back into the past – it was only sent back here recently..."
Wang Ling: "..."
Wang Ming: "So, I think it's still better if you hold on to it."
Wang Ling: "..."
Wang Ming had felt apprehensive the entire ti that the ti capsule had been missing; now that he had delivered it back into Wang Ling's hands, he could finally sigh in relief.
"Oh, that's right, that unpublished novel which auntie had been working on under her new pen na before she stopped writing is also inside the capsule. If you're interested, you can take a look, it's pretty good!" Wang Ming sat cross-legged on the bed as he looked at Wang Ling and said excitedly, "Also, her new pen na was pretty impressive!"
What was it? Wang Ling asked.
Wang Ming: "Numinous Mother with the Magic Hands!"
Wang Ling: "..."
