Ghost Catching System-Chapter 747 - 746 The Origin of Taoism?_1

The toad was becoming impatient and said excitedly, "If Mount Longhu is like this, how much more so are the other famous Taoist mountains? I can't hold back any longer."

Chu Hao replied indifferently, "Stay calm."

Actually, Chu Hao was also very excited inside. If he could occupy Mount Longhu, he wondered how many Pretentiousness Points just one Dao Pill could be exchanged for.

Since Zhang Guanyi had already declared a fight to the death with him, Chu Hao wasn't someone easy to bully either, so who was afraid of whom, right?

After the Qingcheng Mountain Master left, he said to Lan Zhen, "Stay away from Chu Hao in the future. This kid is probably eyeing the Dao Pills of Mount Longhu."

Lan Zhen's jaw dropped; Chu Hao truly was audacious.

The Qingcheng Mountain Master shook his head and said, "He's courting death. The foundations of Mount Longhu are frightening. It's said that Zhang Guanyi found another Dao Pill and fed it to Zhang Zhonghao. Zhang Zhonghao's current strength is probably no longer what it was on Beacon Tower Mountain."

Lan Zhen was somewhat shocked and asked, "Are Dao Pills that powerful?"

The Qingcheng Mountain Master sighed and replied, "More than powerful. After all, Mount Longhu is the ancestral ground where Zhang Daoling concocted pills. Since the revival of the Human World, various Dao Pills have surfaced. I've even thought about asking for a Dao Pill for you, but as you know, we have our issues with Mount Longhu."

Lan Zhen asked, "Should we remind Chu Hao?"

The Qingcheng Mountain Master shook his head and said, "No need. He won't be able to jump around for long. After all, he's just a stray from the Yin and Yang Realm. Our Taoist heritage will slowly show its strength. The revival of the Human World has just begun. When the time comes, your generation will go further than he will."

Lan Zhen was very excited.

"Welcome, everyone."

The host of the peak meeting, Shangu Yizun, appeared. He was an old man in his sixties, dressed in Wo Country's traditional attire, holding a wooden cane, his complexion rosy.

Shangu Yizun, speaking broken Huaxia language, said, "I am very happy that you could all attend the peak meeting."

Zhang Zhonghao replied indifferently, "What is the significance of this peak meeting, may I ask?"

The peak meeting was a gathering of Yin-Yang People. Some were there to attract the world's attention and gain fame, while others, like the masters of the three great Taoist sects, were not there for fame.

Shangu Yizun smiled faintly and said, "This peak meeting has its own significance. As everyone is well aware, young friend Chu has the True Word Brush."

All eyes gathered on Chu Hao.

Chu Hao said, "What, you're interested in the True Word Brush too? Those who take an interest in it either die or end up crippled."

Those words, seemingly directed at Zhang Zhonghao, made him feel very uncomfortable.

Shangu Yizun shook his head and swiftly changed the subject. "Everyone says Huaxia Country is the origin of Taoist culture. I beg to differ."

The crowd was in an uproar; indeed, the man from Wo Country had come to cause trouble.

"What do you mean? If Taoist culture didn't originate from Huaxia, are you saying it originated from your Wo Country?" Some Taoists were very unhappy.

Someone laughed and said, "Not long ago, those people from Stick Country claimed that the universe was created by Stick Country."

The crowd couldn't help but laugh.

Shangu Yizun said indifferently, "Gentlemen, don't rush. I have evidence."

"Let's see what tricks you can come up with."

Many were very unhappy; this old ghost from Wo Country was clearly here to cause trouble. After all, eighty percent of those present were from Huaxia. For a person from Wo Country to come to Huaxia and claim that Taoist culture didn't originate here—if that wasn't a provocation, what was?

Two women from Wo Country brought up a plate, its contents concealed by a red cloth. Shangu Yizun lifted the cloth to reveal an ancient brush before everyone.

Shangu Yizun announced, "Gentlemen, take a look at this."

Taoists from Mount Longhu, Qingcheng Mountain, and Mao Mountain all looked over, and the Qingcheng Mountain Master exclaimed, "The True Word Brush!"

Indeed, the ancient brush was the True Word Brush. Aside from being older, it looked identical to the one Chu Hao had.

The crowd was once again astounded. What was going on? Chu Hao had a True Word Brush, and here was another, in the hands of someone from Wo Country!

Shangu Yizun picked up the True Word Brush and said, "Actually, the True Word Brush has always been in Wo Country. Laozi is also the cultural progenitor of Wo Country. He left the True Word Brush in Wo Country."

The Taoists couldn't accept this. The Qingcheng Mountain Master angrily said, "Nonsense!"

Shangu Yizun looked toward Chu Hao and continued, "Young friend Chu, I wonder if you could show us your True Word Brush so that everyone can take a look?"

Chu Hao sneered. So this is your purpose? To humiliate Taoism in public?

Chu Hao said, "Is this supposed to be interesting? Claiming any old pen is the True Word Brush? If I bring out a stone seal, does that make it the Longhu Seal? Your intelligence is truly touching."

Shangu Yizun narrowed his eyes and asserted, "Whether it is the True Word Brush or not, everyone will know once they see it."

With that said, Shangu Yizun picked up the True Word Brush, chanted an incantation, and shouted, "Dou!"

As he waved the brush, a large serpent, a full two meters long, appeared. It was the demonic spirit of the "Dou" character and materialized in the center of the hall, letting out a hissing sound.

The crowd was shocked, especially the Taoists; each of them was shaken.

Chu Hao was also startled.

The toad muttered, "It's really the True Word Brush."

Shangu Yizun put away the True Word Brush and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, since Laozi left the True Word Brush in Wo Country, it's clear that Taoist culture originated in Wo Country. There's no need for me to say more, right?"

The hearts of the Taoists were in turmoil.

If this was the True Word Brush, then what was Chu Hao's?

Shangu Yizun was all smiles as he said, "As far as I know, there are replicas of the True Word Brush. I would guess what young friend Chu has is probably a replica."

"This is impossible!" the Taoists said, quite stricken.

They all looked at Chu Hao. You're the only one here who can prove it, they thought.

Although Zhang Zhonghao and Chu Hao had grievances, this time was different, and they really hoped Chu Hao would come forward to testify.

Chu Hao said, "This is the most viciously I've ever been slandered."

Shangu Yizun only smiled slightly and suggested, "Since there is disbelief, why don't we each use our True Word Brushes to perform the Nine Character Yin Yang Technique?"

Someone said, "Master Chu, this little ghost from Wo Country is too arrogant."

"Master Chu, I support you."

People began to stand up. The Yin Yang Master from Wo Country was truly overstepping, slapping everyone in the face on Huaxia Country's own territory—it was utterly nauseating.

Chu Hao was also puzzled. The True Word Brush had been missing for so long, so how could it have ended up in the hands of someone from Wo Country? He knew better than anyone that his True Word Brush was an item from the System. If the opponent's True Word Brush was real, wouldn't that be a huge embarrassment?

Nevertheless, Chu Hao had confidence in his True Word Brush. He stepped forward and said, "Fine."

The crowd made room, and Chu Hao faced off against Shangu Yizun.

Shangu Yizun waved his hand and said, "No need to rush. Actually, I have great admiration for Huaxia Country's Yin-Yang Techniques. Coming to Huaxia Country this time, I also wanted to witness the Yin Yang Masters of Huaxia Country and see if they are truly orthodox."

Chu Hao said, "Just say what you want to say."

Shangu Yizun continued, "I believe that of all the Yin-Yang Techniques in the world, none are more orthodox than those of Wo Country. In fact, the origin of Yin-Yang Techniques is Wo Country."

Damn! How shameless could he be to utter such a claim!

Are Wo Country's Yin-Yang Techniques the orthodox ones?

Everyone was angered. It was obvious what this old man was insinuating—that the Yin-Yang Techniques they had learned were all inferior, and so were the Yin-Yang People themselves.

Chu Hao couldn't listen anymore. This old thing really dares to say it!
