Chapter 726
Zhong Liuchuan didn’t immediately say anything . He was deciding whether he should stay or leave . After a while, he said, “I’ll stay here . ”

In fact, there was not much difference whether he stayed or left since his former colleagues had found him in the village . They would probably be able to find him if he moved to a different place . Sooner or later they would find him if they really wanted to .
He couldn’t live like a gypsy, who tended to stay in one place for only a short period of time . Even if he could, his sister couldn’t . It would be too harsh for her to travel constantly with him, like a rootless duckweed . At least they had support in the village, solid support . Wang Yao would help him fight against his old enemies . Wang Yao was a first-class doctor, as well as a first-class kung fu master .
“Good . I’m glad you’ll stay,” Wang Yao said .
While he was talking with Zhong Liuchuan, Wang Mingbao was smoking in the yard . Squeak! Squeak! Two swallows were circulating above his head . He didn’t notice the swallows settle on the clinic’s roof .
“Dr . Wang, do you have superpowers or just Kung Fu skills?” Zhong Liuchuan asked . He had been curious for quite some time .
“Is there a difference?” Wang Yao asked .
“Of course . One can gain Kung Fu skills through learning and practicing,” Zhong Liuchuan said . “However, one can only be born with superpowers . It is not possible to gain them through learning and practicing . ”
“Since both of you mentioned superpowers, do you really believe in their existence?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, Dr . Wang . I witnessed it once,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Really?!” Now it was Wang Yao’s turn to be surprised . “What kind of superpower? Like those in the movies?”
“Nothing like that,” Zhong Liuchuan said . “I met someone once who had incredible endurance toward fire . He could survive a fire without getting burned . However, he could still be hurt by weapons . He could also get sick and had to eat to survive . ”
“He couldn’t be a firefighter,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
Although he looked calm, he was actually in shock . Certain things truly existed in the world, but most people would never come across them .
“I don’t have super powers,” Wang Yao said . “I just have kung fu skills . ”
“So, one could potentially have the same level of Kung Fu skills you have by practicing?” Zhong Liuchuan asked .
He had come across many kung fu masters who could either kill a person with a single movement or fight against 10 or even 100 people at the same time . He thought one could achieve such a kung fu skill level by practicing . However, Wang Yao’s skills were beyond his imagination . It was like magical arts to him .

Let alone Wang Yao’s other skills, he made a person lose the ability to fight and killed the person without even a touch . That was absolutely unbelievable .
“I suppose so,” Wang Yao said after thinking for a moment .
He had gained such skills by practicing the Natural Classics . He did breathing exercise before practicing Chinese boxing . In plain language, the level of one’s internal power decided how good a kung fu master one could be .
“Can you teach me?” Zhong Liuchuan asked .
“You want me to teach you kung fu?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, is that OK?” Zhong Liuchuan asked .
“That’s fine . I can try,” Wang Yao said after thinking for a moment .
“Really?” Zhong Liuchuan asked with surprise .
“Of course,” Wang Yao said .
He certainly couldn’t teach Zhong Liuchuan everything in the Natural Classics . It was the rule set by the system . However, there was a grey area . Wang Yao could at least teach him some pithy formulas, like what he taught Su Xiaoxue .
“You are my teacher from now on,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Please don’t call me teacher,” Wang Yao said . “I can teach you, but I hate to be called teacher . ”
“But… You are my teacher,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Never mind . Just do what I said,” Wang Yao said .
Zhong Liuchuan chatted with Wang Yao for a few more minutes before leaving .
“Hey, you’ve got another student?” Wang Mingbao asked . He hadn’t deliberately listened to the conversation between Wang Yao and Zhong Liuchuan, but he still heard it .

Wang Yao didn’t speak . He just shook his head and smiled .
“So, how good are you with kung fu?” Wang Mingbao curiously asked .
“It’s hard to describe,” Wang Yao said . He had no idea how to explain his level of kung fu skills to Wang Mingbao since there was no standard .
“Shall we take a walk outside?” Wang Mingbao suggested .
“OK,” Wang Yao said .
The two of them went to the yard . A gust of wind whirled around them . It was created by Wang Yao as he waved his hand . The bamboo trees, grass, and leaves were all made a shush sound .
“Stop!” Wang Yao lifted his hand, and the wind stopped .
“What the…That is not kung fu . That is magical arts,” Wang Mingbao said in shock . He knew Wang Yao was a kung fu master, but he had no idea that his skills had reached such a high level . “Can you teach me?”
“Are you serious?” Wang Yao asked with a smile .
“Of course . I think I’m quite gifted,” Wang Mingbao said .
“You are a gifted businessman, so you are too busy with business,” Wang Yao said . “You also drink and smoke a lot . You won’t settle your mind on something like kung fu . More importantly, you don’t have any foundation to practice it . If you want to start from scratch, you won’t be able to achieve a high enough level to make worth your time . So, I think you should just forget about it . ”
He didn’t think Wang Mingbao was a suitable candidate to practice kung fu . Wang Mingbao was different from Su Xiaoxue, who had a calming nature and almost died due to a horrible disease . She had seen through a lot of things in the world, and she was very gifted .
Wang Mingbao was also different from Zhong Liuchuan, who started to practice kung fu at a very young age . Zhong Liuchuan had good fundamental skills to learn kung fu, and he could put up with a quiet lifestyle and working hard . Zhong Liuchuan had decided to settle down in the village, so he would have adequate time to practice kung fu . Wang Yao didn’t want to teach anyone who would potentially quit .
“Hmm, are there any ways to learn kung fu faster?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“You wanna learn kung fu faster?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah, like someone filling all the kung fu skills into your head and body, or a certain god entering your dreams to teach your kung fu,” Wang Mingbao said .

“Are you serious?” Wang Yao asked . “You must have watched too many fantasy movies . ”
“But, how could you become so good at Kung Fu?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“Me? Because god loves me,” Wang Yao said . “In addition, I’ve practiced day and night on Nanshan Hill and happened to come across a fantastic opportunity to enhance my skills on the Great Wall and Temple of Heaven . I was lucky . ”
This was the first time he mentioned something like this to someone . He didn’t think Wang Mingbao would even have the patience to read the scriptures he had read .
“Wow, it sounds amazing,” Wang Mingbao said .
“Of course,” Wang Yao replied .
“So, I’m probably not a good candidate to learn kung fu,” Wang Mingbao said as he took out his cigarette box .
“I think you should quit smoking,” Wang Yao said .
“I’ll try . ” Wang Mingbao accepted Wang Yao’s advice and put the cigarette box away .
“How is your wife doing?” Wang Yao asked .
“She is resting at home . She’s pregnant,” Wang Mingbao said .
“Wow! Congratulations! I didn’t expect that would happen so soon,” Wang Yao said .
“Thank you,” Wang Mingbao said .
A few prior, in Tongdu, which was thousands of miles away from the Wang Family Village, several Taoists were standing around a bed in a wooden house on Dragon Tiger Mountain . A man was lying on the bed . He was wearing a Taoism gown . A charm was placed on his chest . His face had turned green and black, which looked scary . He was unconscious .
“The evil soul who hurt him is very strong,” an old Taoist said .
“Teacher, what will happen to him?” a younger Taoist asked .
“I can barely keep him alive,” the old Taoist said “I’m not sure if he will return to consciousness or not . ”
“What about the other two?” the younger Taoist asked .
“They are still outside in the living room,” the old Taoist said .
At the moment, Miao Sanding and Liu Sifang were waiting in the living room .
“I thought people here specialized in killing evil souls,” Liu Sifang said . “How come things have become like this?”
“No one can guarantee everything one does will be successful,” said Miao Sanding, who still felt guilty about what had happened . “Even the professional ghost hunters could fail, just like us . We failed to see the danger of that ancient tomb, and many people died because of it . I am the person who should take the blame . ”
“Stop blaming yourself . It has nothing to do with you,” Liu Sifang said .
“If I hadn’t dug up the ancient tomb, those people wouldn’t be dead and there wouldn’t have been so much trouble,” Miao Sanding said . “Things are getting worse . Even the Taoists here were affected . This one is badly injured . I’m not sure what is happening to the other one who is still around the tomb . I think he’s probably hurt too . ”
“You can’t be sure about it,” Liu Sifang said .
“You didn’t cause this,” someone in the house said .
Several Taoists entered the living room . Their leader was an old man in his 60s . He had very sharp eyes, like the sharp blade hiding in the scabbard .
“Master,” Miao Sanding said .
“Stop calling me master,” the old man said as he shook his hand . “Only a handful of people deserve to be called master since Ming Dynasty . They’ve all passed away . I know your teacher, so you two can call me uncle . ”
