Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 123: Chapter 91: The Taoist on the 75th Building Rooftop

”Daoist Priest, it seems they can’t hear us.”

”Daoist Priest, quickly use your magic and see if you can communicate with them.”

On the rooftop of the 75th building, several burly men gathered around an old man.

The old man was in his early sixties, not bald but with a full head of gray hair tied into a bun secured with a hairpin.

He was wearing a bright yellow Daoist robe typically worn during rituals, adorned with a Bagua Taiji pattern.

He looked like a character from a zombie movie, Lin Zhengying.

Coincidentally, his surname was also Lin.

Lin Songyang was a part-time Daoist, no, to be precise, he wasn’t even a true Daoist.

Before the great flood, he was an old bachelor. To survive, he asked for help from his nephew who worked in a religious affairs office.

His nephew found him a job as a Daoist priest at a nearby temple.

Even though Lin Songyang was somewhat streetwise, he was quite handsome. He had a kind of ethereal look when he wore the robe.

After a few years at Xunfeng Temple, he even managed to become the Vice Temple Master.

He worked at the temple during the day and went home at night for foot baths and massages, not missing a beat.

According to him, cultivating Dao is about heart, not body. He followed the ways of a living Buddha Jizi.

Many who knew his background laughed at him, saying Jizi was a monk, while he was a Daoist priest, and that he was following the wrong path.

He didn’t care. They were just jealous.

Is being a Daoist so easy? Nowadays, you need a graduate degree to be one.

All meals and lodging provided, a monthly salary of over ten thousand, and nothing to worry about—where else could you find such a deal?

But then the great flood changed everything.

Old Lin watched helplessly as the world turned vile.

The young man next door started robbing, while the little girl nearby started selling herself.

Old Li, who used to dance in the square upstairs, abandoned his wife to rob grains and young girls with others.

He was scared and stayed home, living on stored grains. He barely managed to survive for a month.

When the stored grains ran out, he had to eat the sweet potato vines he grew on his balcony.

They were really awful to eat.

Even now, he could still taste the bitterness.

But it was because of those sweet potato vines that he found a way to survive.

He awakened his mutant ability!

With his mutant ability, he gradually gained a foothold in the 75th building.

He then gathered a group of people, gradually taking control of the first unit of the 75th building, stabilizing the order there.

Now, they survived by catching fish and living off the remaining stored food, barely getting by.

Recently, people fetching water upstairs reported seeing activity on the rooftop of the 76th building.

Old Lin immediately rushed up. He also wanted to contact people outside and understand what was happening in the world.

He wanted to ask others if they had any news from the outside world.

Seeing that the opposite side couldn’t hear them at all, everyone got anxious and urged Old Lin to cast a spell.

A man wearing glasses, in his thirties, beside Old Lin couldn’t help but say, ”Daoist Lin, is there a way to contact the other side? With things like this outside, only by contacting the outside world can we get more information.”

Old Lin nodded mysteriously and said, ”Since it’s like this, let me give it a try. Everyone move back. If I use my magic, I don’t want to injure you by mistake.”

Everyone quickly retreated upon hearing this.

They had all seen the power of Daoist Lin’s magic before and knew they couldn’t get too close.

Yang Shenmin watched Old Lin putting on a mysterious act and couldn’t help but purse his lips, also stepping back a few steps.

Old Lin, in front of everyone’s eyes, began forming hand seals.

Before long, a golden light emanated from his hands.

”Rapidly As You Wish Command, Wind Come!”

Whoosh——!

Suddenly, a violent wind stirred up in the void, howling and spinning.

With a flick of his hand, golden light surged and turned into several gold characters in the air.

”Hello!”

Old Lin’s face turned flushed as he maintained the golden characters.

Everyone behind him grew excited and cheered.

”The magic turns into words, Daoist Lin is incredible!”

”Is this Immortal Daoist Technique? It’s truly astonishing.”

”Daoist Priest is the real deal. This flood isn’t a disaster, it’s clearly the revival of spiritual energy.”
