The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 669: Chapter 669: The Eccentric Zhong Pengfei!
 

Just as Xia Ying, Zhou Mi, and Miao Erfang were captivated by the unfathomable apparition, it finally vanished. Huang Xiaolong regained his original appearance, his face bearing a mischievous smile.

The temple was still dilapidated, but it took on a new feel. What kind of feel, you ask?

It was as if a clear spring was flowing through the body, providing a sense of detachment, tranquility, and comfort for anyone standing within it.

“This… Little Long… how did this…” Xia Ying knew something had happened in the temple, and it was certainly connected to Huang Xiaolong, but she could not grasp what it was, and had to ask.

“Well…” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “It’s hard to explain clearly. In simple terms, this temple is now under my management. It has become the only temple on Earth still possessing divine power. All the dead in Dong’an City, their souls can line up here to enter the underworld. I can also unravel any supernatural events that happen in Dong’an City.”

Xia Ying, Zhou Mi, and Miao Erfang were somewhat left in the dark.

However, for Huang Xiaolong, he wouldn’t care less about managing a temple.

It wasn’t that interesting.

Just then!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Golden light surged up from the ground once again, enveloping the whole temple.

The next second, countless ghosts materialized within the golden light!

These ghosts held different tools in their hands and started working on the temple’s renovation.

Clang clang, thud thud – echoes of their work filled the air.

“Uh…this… this…” Xia Ying, Zhou Mi, and Miao Erfang were once again frozen into stupefaction.

The ghosts worked efficiently.

Just in an hour’s time, the derelict temple completely transformed!

Experiencing earth-shattering changes!

Red walls, glazed tiles, bluestone ground. A large, pitch-black plaque was hung outside the temple with three gilded characters – “City God Temple”.

The temple became spotless, pure, and pristine. Standing inside brought about a feeling of transcendence, bathing in divine light, giving rise to a sense of devout worship. The previous desolation and ruin had been entirely swept away.

Compared to this temple, the so-called famous mountains and ancient temples were simply worlds apart!

After finishing their work, the ghosts with their ghostly aura drilled back into the ground, returning to the underworld.

At the same time, in Dong’an City, from all sides, especially at funeral homes and hospitals, countless souls began to surge towards the temple.

They were arranged in an orderly manner, not causing any chaos, and calmly entering the temple. Simultaneously, a black stairway appeared in the center of the temple leading downwards, seemingly to the underworld.

The ghosts went down the stairs.

This scene was like people lining up to take care of business in a government department. It had a harmonious feel!

“Little Long… this… this temple… it’s really… really… really starting to operate…” Xia Ying meticulously sorted out her words.

“I suppose it is.” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “Now, I want to leave something here…”

With a mental command, Huang Xiaolong took out a jade pendant from his canvas bag.

This jade pendant wasn’t a fine piece of jade, just an ordinary stone product, and nothing special.

“This jade pendant was given to me by my dad when I was a kid, we bought it in town for just over ten bucks, it’s fake. But, it’s been with me for over a decade, soaking in my essence… Yup, this will be it.” Huang Xiaolong cheerfully placed the jade pendant in the shrine that originally held the Zhong Kui idol.

“From now on, any worshiper who offers prayers to this jade piece is essentially praying to me, as long as their heart is sincere, their many wishes can become reality. I’ll also be able to harness the power of their desires.” Huang Xiaolong grinned.

Then, facing Xia Ying, Zhou Mi, and Miao Erfang, he half-joked and half-seriously said, “Praying to this jade is even more effective than praying to any god. When you guys have time, you can give it a try. But remember, you must be truly devoted. If you harbor any evil intentions, not only will you not receive blessings, but you will also offend me. However… hahahahaha, you guys don’t need to pray. After all, we’re all family, no need to be formal like outsiders, hahahaha~~~ I can bend the rules for you guys. Hahaha~~~”

Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong say this, Xia Ying blushed slightly.

Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi, on the other hand, were absolutely thrilled!

My gosh!

Master Long considers us his family!

In other words, Master Long acknowledges us as his women!

We’re so happy! We can’t take it! We’re about to die! We’re going to heaven!

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong organized his thoughts and said with a chuckle. “Back to the main topic. This Zhong Pengzhan, and his elder brother, the boss of Pengfei Driving School, indeed descend from Zhong Kui. So, things start to get complicated…”

“Little Long, what’s the problem with being a descendant of Zhong Kui?” Xia Ying curiously asked.

“The problem is huge.” Huang Xiaolong answered in a serious tone. “Do you guys know, Zhong Kui isn’t really human…”

Before he finished speaking, his phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was a call from Ma Chuxia.

He answered the phone.

“Wifey, why did you call?” Huang Xiaolong said cheerfully.

Ma Chuxia spoke in a sweet voice. “Do I need a reason to call you? Hehe, actually there’s no particular reason, I’ve just spent half a day studying ghost symbols and got a bit tired…Missed you a little…”

Currently, Huang Xiaolong held an extremely important place in Ma Chuxia’s heart!

She couldn’t help but miss Huang Xiaolong.

The two chatted casually for a few minutes, exchanging some mushy love words.

Huang Xiaolong suddenly asked, “By the way, honey, do you know about a place called Pengfei Driving School in Dong’an city? The boss of this school…”

Before Huang Xiaolong could finish, Ma Chuxia interrupted, “I know, Little Long, you’re talking about Zhong Pengfei. He also has a younger brother named Zhong Pengzhan. Speaking of Zhong Pengfei, he really is an unusual character.”

“Unusual character?” Huang Xiaolong asked with interest.

“These two brothers claim to be descendants of the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui. Zhong Pengfei even studied Taoism.” said Ma Chuxia in an astonished tone. “Putting aside whether they are truly descendants of Zhong Kui for now. There’s one thing that I find intriguing…”

“What is it?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

“It goes like this,” Ma Chuxia recounted. “About ten years ago, when Zhong Pengfei and Zhong Pengzhan were still undiscovered, their businesses was doing poorly. However, one year, the richest man in Dong’an city fell seriously ill. Despite seeking help from various famous doctors, he just couldn’t be cured. The ailment was strange. Every night, the tycoon would dream of a ghost wearing red clothes who threatened, insulted and scared him. Then one day, a man appeared in his dream and ate the red-clothed ghost. The man told the rich man in the dream —’I helped you cure your illness by killing the red-clothed ghost haunting you. You must repay me. My name is Zhong Pengfei.’ Later, the richest man did find Zhong Pengfei and treated him as a VIP, and invested in the brothers’ businesses. That’s how Zhong Pengfei made his first fortune. From then on, their ventures have been flourishing. In just ten years, they became top-tier tycoons in Dong’an city…”

“Zhong Pengfei, he truly is much stronger than Zhong Pengzhan…” Huang Xiaolong mused thoughtfully. “Descendants of Zhong Kui…this could be troublesome. But, it should be fun, too…”

He ended the call.

Huang Xiaolong continued chatting with Xia Ying, Zhou Mi, and Miao Erfang.

“We were talking about Zhong Kui,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “Since Zhong Kui’s descendants are involved, let me tell you a little about Zhong Kui’s origin. There are some secrets about him that are not documented in any historical records.”
