Chapter 258: Dragon God Skill Obtained
Seeing that Long Po was under his control, Duan Fengyun knew he needed to hurry; if Tong Bo and the others returned, it would be a disaster.
To confirm that Long Po was completely controlled, Duan Fengyun began to ask:
"Long Po, what is your master's name!"
Long Po replied:
"My master is named Long Ze."
Duan Fengyun nodded; based solely on this detail that could not be leaked, he was certain that Long Po was indeed under his control.
Thus, Duan Fengyun began to ask:
"Then let me ask you, do you still remember the secret manual of the Dragon God Skill?"
Upon hearing the three words "Dragon God Skill," Long Po began to tremble incessantly, as if she had been stimulated by something.
Seeing this, Duan Fengyun used the Soul-Capturing Technique again to stabilize Long Po.
Duan Fengyun continued:
"Long Po, I feel that my Dragon God Skill has reached a Bottleneck recently, but I have been unable to achieve a Breakthrough.
I want to confirm the secret manual of the Dragon God Skill with you again."
After hearing this, Long Po nodded blankly and replied:
"Yan Er knows.
The secret of the Dragon God Skill is:
Form relaxed, intent relaxed, everything is relaxed,
The true Qi of heaven and earth becomes my own;
Disperse and transform the five forms into ten thousand spirits,
Clear and void, dwelling in the spirit, everything connects.
......"
Long Po recited the entire incantation of the Dragon God Skill, and with Duan Fengyun's current Spirit Sense, he naturally memorized it all in one go.
Duan Fengyun revealed a look of joy and said:
"The Dragon God Skill is finally in my hands; half the mission is complete."
Duan Fengyun then channeled the Soul-Capturing Technique, aiming his eyes at Long Po once more.
"Long Po, forget everything that just happened. You only remember falling unconscious; you will forget everything about what happened now."
Long Po replied blankly:
"Very well, little master, I have forgotten everything."
After saying this, Long Po fainted directly onto the floor.
Duan Fengyun nodded, walked out of the room with satisfaction, and strode away.
Not long after Duan Fengyun left, Long Po climbed up from the floor; she vaguely remembered that someone had entered the room and asked her some things, but she could not remember a single detail.
She saw Han Batian on the floor, picked up the water from the table, and splashed it on Han Batian's face.
Han Batian, who had been unconscious, opened his eyes immediately due to the shock of the cold water.
He stood up and asked:
"Yan Er, what happened just now? Why were we both lying on the floor?"
Long Po replied:
"I remember that before I lost consciousness, it seemed like some kind of numbing smoke was blown in.
Let us both check quickly to see if anything is missing."
Long Po searched the room; although it had been tossed into a mess, nothing was missing.
But from Han Batian's side came a scream like a slaughtered pig.
Long Po asked:
"Batian, did you lose something?
What did you lose?"
Han Batian opened the box in his hand and replied in deep distress:
"Before I left the shop, in order to celebrate our reunion, I prepared a pair of priceless Jade Bracelet for you.
It is said that this pair of Jade Bracelet has a history of over a thousand years and has the effect of prolonging life. I originally wanted to give them to you as a welcome gift, but they were stolen.
This damn thief actually dared to steal from me; I will definitely make him pay."
After hearing this, Long Po comforted him:
"Batian, wealth is an external possession.
Who knows if a misfortune might be a blessing in disguise? Perhaps it was because of your Jade Bracelet that the robbers spared our lives."
"But the welcome gift I had for you is gone."
Han Batian said, wanting to cry but having no tears.
Long Po smiled and said:
"The fact that we two can be reunited after thirty years is already the best gift heaven could give me."
Seeing that Han Batian had lost something priceless, Long Po felt less worried in her heart.
If the other party was truly just there to steal, then her previous suspicions must have been mere imagination.
Little did she know, this was done deliberately by Duan Fengyun.
If he had knocked Han Batian and Long Po unconscious but taken nothing after entering the room, it would inevitably have aroused the suspicions of Long Po and Han Batian.
And he believed that with Long Po's mind, she would certainly have guessed something.
Therefore, Duan Fengyun deliberately tossed Long Po's room into a mess, and then, with a mischievous sense of humor, he thought that an old man like Han Batian would surely bring a welcome gift for Long Po.
Furthermore, given Han Batian's personality, this meeting gift would certainly not be worth less than the two Jade Pendants he had already obtained.
Thus, Duan Fengyun specifically searched Han Batian's body and, as expected, found a pair of Jade Bracelets on him.
Looking at the crystal-clear Jade Bracelets, Duan Fengyun knew at a glance that this pair of Jade Bracelets must be worth a fortune.
After taking the Jade Bracelets, Duan Fengyun left the box for Old Man Han.
Indeed, Duan Fengyun's deliberate actions dispelled Long Po's suspicions, leading her to believe it was merely a simple case of burglary.
Soon, Tong Bo and Dou Dou, having finalized their plan within Yujian Villa, walked out of Yujian Villa.
And Tong Zhan, who was single-mindedly wishing to spend time with Yin Tianxue, naturally would not let this opportunity for the two of them to be alone slip by.
Watching Tong Bo and Dou Dou walk away, the guard responsible for watching the gate shook his head and said:
"I really don't know what the young lady and the son-in-law are up to.
The son-in-law runs around everywhere with a woman, while the young lady keeps the son-in-law's younger brother in the villa; I really don't know what they are doing."
Another guard said:
"This is the master's business; it is not for us to worry about. Just watch the gate well and that will do."
Meanwhile, Tong Bo and Dou Dou, having left Yujian Villa, rushed toward the temple at once; things had changed, and they had to inform Long Po as soon as possible.
When Tong Bo and Dou Dou rushed to Long Po's room, they saw that the bed and other areas were in a complete mess.
The two of them even thought that since Long Po and Han Batian had not seen each other for thirty years, they could not control their impulses.
Dou Dou looked at the two with a meaningful expression and asked:
"Dad, Mom, after we left, did something happen between you two?"
Seeing the two of them wearing malicious smiles, Long Po immediately realized that these two must have thought of something crooked.
Long Po said, between laughing and crying:
"You two rascals, what are you thinking about?
After you left, Batian and I were discussing our respective experiences over these past thirty years.
At that moment, we suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded, and then we both fainted.
When we both woke up, we discovered that the entire room had been turned upside down.
But fortunately, I don't have any valuable things here, so nothing was lost.
It's just that a pair of priceless Jade Bracelets on Batian were stolen by the thief.
However, as long as the people are still here, it's fine; money and property are merely external possessions."
For these thirty years, Long Po had been living under an assumed name and keeping a low profile, so she had absolutely no interest in money or property.
After hearing this, Dou Dou widened her eyes and looked at Han Batian, asking:
"Dad, Mom isn't talking about that pair of Jade Bracelets we went through so much trouble to obtain, is she?
The ones you usually treat as supreme treasures and never take out for others to see?"
Han Batian, who had originally calmed down, felt the grief in his heart rise again after hearing Dou Dou's words.
He nodded in agony and replied:
"That's right, it is exactly that pair of Jade Bracelets."
Dou Dou covered her mouth with both hands; she did not even know what to say.
This pair of Jade Bracelets was something she, Zhu Er, Zhao Yun, and Han Batian had gone through great hardships to obtain from an ancient tomb.
She never expected that they would be stolen by someone now.
Tong Bo looked at the expressions of Dou Dou and Han Batian, knowing that this pair of Jade Bracelets must be worth a fortune.
He walked outside the door and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
Under his careful and earnest search, he finally found a clue—a stick of incense that had burned more than halfway through!
Tong Bo picked up the incense, brought it into the room, lit it, and let Long Po and Han Batian smell it.
"Granny, Uncle Han, you two smell this; is this the scent that made you feel dizzy and lightheaded?"
After Long Po and Han Batian walked close to the stupefying incense and sniffed it hard, Han Batian said firmly:
"It is this scent; it was exactly after smelling this that we fainted."
Having confirmed that this was the culprit that drugged Long Po and Han Batian, Tong Bo threw the stupefying incense away.
Dou Dou looked at the thoughtful Tong Bo and asked:
"Tong Dage, looking at your expression, have you discovered something?
Have you already figured out who the person behind this is!"
Tong Bo nodded and said:
"That's right, I have already guessed who the person behind this is.
Dou Dou, do you still remember the men in black from the time we saved Duan Fengyun at the inn that day?"
Dou Dou nodded and replied:
"Tong Dage, I remember.
You mean, they are the ones who poisoned and drugged Dad and Mom this time and took away that pair of Jade Bracelets."
Tong Bo replied:
"Correct, this stupefying incense is exactly the same as the one used by that group of men in black that night.
They said at the time that this was their unique stupefying incense.
I really didn't expect this group of people to be so daring as to commit such an act in broad daylight at a sacred Buddhist site."
Dou Dou said indignantly:
"This group of people really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
We shouldn't have let them go that night."
"Tong Dage, we must find them and let them know who it is they should not have offended."
Tong Bo replied:
"Right, I will go to Yujian Villa in a moment and have the Iron Guard search for these few people.
These people truly do not know how to fear death; I never expected that a moment of mercy would actually bring us such a great loss.
This time, we cannot let them off easily."
Unfortunately, their search plan was destined to be a waste of effort.
This unburnt piece of incense was also a clue that Duan Fengyun had intentionally left for Tong Bo.
He believed that Tong Bo would certainly be able to follow the trail based on this remaining incense and link it to those few men in black.
But those few men in black had long since been sent by Duan Fengyun to Yama, and even if Tong Bo and the others turned the world upside down, they would never find the whereabouts of those people.
And the mysterious person "Nie Feng" and these few men in black were destined to make Tong Bo and the others rack their brains until they were dizzy.
Now that the Dragon God Skill was in his hands, it was time for him, Duan Fengyun, to retreat behind the scenes and quietly watch the show.
If needed, he would meet with them using a series of identities such as "Bu Jingyun," "Qin Shuang," and "Xiongba."
Duan Fengyun returned to Longze Villa, left a letter for Tong Bo, and then packed his luggage and departed.
Brought to you by the great god Duan Fengyun, "Transmigrating Through the Heavens Starting from Wind and Cloud."
