Chapter 138 Five Spirits Moving Mountain Formation
Xiao Ma wanted to make up for the mistake he had made seconds ago, so he went all in . He got up and leaped into the air . He used his shoulder and elbow to strike the corpse-eating spirit . His body, which almost weighed a hundred kilograms, proved deadly, as he successfully sent the creature flying . The corpse-eating spirit was certainly not prepared for this human cannonball . It was thrown into the air . Despite this, it managed to hold itself together and landed on its feet .
However, as it landed, a loud explosion suddenly went off, as a golden light flashed from the ground . The corpse-eating spirit trembled, as it shrieked in pain . Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma both looked down . Then, they realized that it had stepped on the talisman papers . Hence, lightning had struck it .
Ye Shaoyang grinned in satisfaction . He felt proud of himself for his early preparations . He wielded the sword and stabbed toward the corpse-eating spirit . This action threatened the creature, although it was actually a feint . Just as Ye Shaoyang had expected, it backed away in fear of the mighty sword . As it took a few steps back, it inadvertently activated the Wind Elent Talisman Paper . A mini-tornado instantly ford and almost blew it away . The pathetic creature then stepped on a Lighting Elent Talisman Paper… .
A loud blast went off, and the corpse-eating spirit jerked up, as yet another round of lightning struck it . It stepped onto even more talisman papers, as it tried to avoid the lightning . At that mont, a series of tornadoes and lightning suddenly ford around the corpse-eating spirit, and they relentlessly struck the creature .
Xiao Ma’s eyes widened in awe, “Holy sh*t! Little Ye, you’re aweso!”
Ye Shaoyang had no ti for a chit-chat . He darted forward and slashed at the corpse-eating spirit with his sword . A mighty force hit the creature and sent it flying across the altar . It slowly vanished into thin air .
“Is it dead now?” Xiao Ma asked in anticipation .
“I sent it back to the Underworld . ” Ye Shaoyang answered as he tried to catch his breath . He kneeled on the ground, exhausted . As soon as he cald himself down, he proceeded to pick up all those talisman papers that had not activated . He did not want to waste any of those talisman papers, as he had already spent a great amount of energy to create each of them .
Xiao Ma walked over to him, “Will that creature ever return?”
“This is a one-way ticket . It will not be able to return to our world without anyone summoning it . ” Then, Ye Shaoyang suddenly glared angrily at Xiao Ma, “What did I tell you? I wanted you to play dead . Once it ca near enough to you, those talisman papers would have automatically activated; you didn’t have to do anything! Was it helpful for you to hit it with a brick? Lucky for you, I was quick enough to respond! Otherwise, you would have ssed up the whole plan!”
“I was a little nervous just now . Also, you weren’t clear enough . ” Xiao Ma awkwardly laugh, “But Little Ye, am I the first person to ever strike a corpse-eating spirit with a brick?”
Ye Shaoyang thought for a minute . Perhaps, Xiao Ma might be right about this! However, Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes in annoyance, “Well, yes, but that wasn’t helpful at all . ”
Now, they had sent the corpse-eating spirit back to the Underworld . Additionally, they had transcended most of the wandering spirits . They had eliminated the source of the hateful Qi . Although the formation remained here, it would not last long . Ye Shaoyang looked up to the sky . The thick grey mist in the air had started to disperse . Soon, the hateful Qi would totally vanish, and the villagers could return to their normal lives .
The duo swiftly packed up and left the village on foot .
Ye Shaoyang gave Xie Yuqing a call . He wanted her to pick him up by car .
Twenty minutes soon passed, and Xie Yuqing arrived in her car . As she picked up the duo, she proudly smiled at Ye Shaoyang, “I’ve gotten information about the Gu master . How would you like to repay ?”
Ye Shaoyang scratched his head, “Should I just give you my body?”
“You wish,” Xie Yuqing glared at Ye Shaoyang as she passed him a piece of paper . It was a copy of an ID card with a photo of a man . Although the photo on the ID card looked different to the Gu master, Ye Shaoyang could imdiately recognize him . Indeed, this was the Gu Master he was looking for! With his coal-black face covered in freckles, he was not a hard man to recognize .
“That’s him! He is very ugly . I can recognize him even if he is turned into ashes!”
Xiao Ma got himself closer to have a look . Apparently, this man was nad Jin Shuai . Xiao Ma burst out in laughter, “With that ugly face, he was nad ‘Shuai’? Did his parents prank their own son or what?”
[TL note - Shuài: handso in Mandarin]
Ye Shaoyang read the ID card carefully . Jin Shuai, forty-three years old, Miao ethnic . Born and raised in the district of Sichuan, an unheard-of town .
“We have already alerted the local police, and they have investigated the town . Apparently, Jin Shuai was an orphan . A local tribe’s head raised him up . However, the tribe’s head passed away quite young . Jin Shuai left the town twenty years ago and has never returned . The locals have no idea where he went . We are still trying to find out what happened in between .
“However, we managed to find a dozen remains of human bodies beneath his mansion . We identified a few remains as missing persons from nearby villages . So, Jin Shuai is now officially classified as an A-tier Wanted Criminal . Even the local council will dispatch a team of police officers to search for him . I bet he can’t escape capture . ”
Xie Yuqing paused, as she stared at Ye Shaoyang, seemingly concerned, “What I’m more worried about now is, if our n manage to find him, will they be able to catch him alive without firing at him?”
“They can try if there’s at least three of them . ” Ye Shaoyang further explained, “Gu masters are skilled in Gu crafts, not combat skills . Besides, the Six-eyed Child is dead now, so Jin Shuai does not have much left up his sleeves . However, be very cautious, make sure he is cuffed properly . Never leave him alone even with his hands cuffed, and most importantly, never ever eat or drink his food . ”
Xie Yuqing nodded, “I’ll rember that at all tis . ”
Ye Shaoyang added, “If all else fails, shoot him dead . Just bring back his body . I only need his blood anyway . ”
Xie Yuqing asked, “But if he dies, won’t we lose the opportunity to find the truth?”
Ye Shaoyang laughed confidently, “Before today, I thought he was the culprit . That was until I t the corpse-eating spirit . Now, I know that Jin Shuai is at most an accomplice . Soone else is the mastermind behind all of this . ”
Xiao Ma and Xie Yuqing’s eyes widened, as they asked simultaneously, “Who?”
“I don’t know, but Jin Shuai is definitely not powerful enough to summon the corpse-eating spirit to this world and form the Five Spirits Moving Mountain Formation . So, the mastermind behind this is soone much more powerful . ”
Ye Shaoyang took out a black and white map . He pointed at four points on the map, “From the perspective of Feng Shui, this Shun Kun Mountain is considered as a Dragon’s Vein . These four places may seem random, but they are all located on the tail of this dragon . If formations are placed in these four areas, it is known as the four jabs on dragon’s tail in Feng Shui . ”
Ye Shaoyang paused, as he looked at Xie Yuqing, “If I stab you four needles into your tail at the sa ti, what would you do?”
Xie Yuqing frowned, “What kind of taphor is this? I don’t have a tail!”
“Hmm… . ” Ye Shaoyang scratched his head as he looked down, “Okay, how about the butt? If four hands are touching your butt at the sa ti, what would you do?”
“Pervert!”
“Correct, four perverted guys are touching you… . ”
“I’m saying you are the pervert!” Xie Yuqing yelled at him as her face turned red, “What kind of perverted taphor is this! Why don’t you just jump straight to the point?”
Ye Shaoyang shrugged, “Well, you would jump up . When the dragon tail is stabbed with four needles, it will jump up in pain . ”
“What a stupid taphor; it’s not helpful at all,” Xiao Ma teased as he turned to Xie Yuqing, “Officer, I think Little Ye did this on purpose; he just wants to take advantage of you… . ”
