Chapter 46
Chapter 46 No Devil Dares to Bar His Path
Liu Ming quickly made the necessary arrangents . With a single phone call, he ordered everything just as Ye Shaoyang had requested . With that settled, there was ti to kill . He invited everyone to his office for a quick sip of tea while waiting . Nobody seed to mind though, but Ye Shaoyang had one more phone call to make . He needed another assistant, so he called Li Duo and asked him to co over .
Liu Ming drove, and they soon arrived at his office . Everyone sat down to chat while enjoying the Chrysanthemum tea he prepared . Liu Ming kept on pressing Ye Shaoyang for details, trying to figure him out; soon, this busy-body started to annoy the latter . Ye Shaoyang ignored him and simply laid down on the couch, trying to get so rest . He had to conserve his energy for now . After all, a war might happen soon .
40 minutes quickly passed . The phone rang; they had prepared the items now . Ye Shaoyang directed them to send all the items straight to dormitory four . They rushed to the spot, and there it was, all the items were already there in a truck .
Li Duo arrived just in ti, as Ye Shaoyang had finished checking the items . Now, everything was ready . Ye Shaoyang ordered everyone else to wait outside, and he entered the dormitory hall alone . He quickly took out his Yin Yang Compass and found the position he needed—Qian . He put down a sandalwood plank as the base . Then, he pulled out a golden silk cloth from his bag, folded it in half and covered the plank with the cloth . Finally, he lit two yellow candles at both ends . With that, he had set a simple altar . [TL Note: Qian - North West position in fengshui]
Now, he took out a scroll painting and hung it as the background for the altar . He put up an incense burner and lit up three joss stick made of Tibetan Skywood, which had an evil-repelling nature . Then, he lit up rmaid oil lamps at each corner of the hall . He connected all the lamps with lines of red ink, as he chanted, “O' I stand where the room is, sharing with the Mighty King Chakarvarti . With the ray of light he brings, no evil dares to bar his path!”
He spent around half an hour on this, but it was necessary . He only allowed Xiao Ma and Li Duo to co in with the items . Upon seeing such decoration, Xiao Ma asked curiously, “Little Ye, this is rather grand decoration . What is it for?”
“Once we move the statue, there is a chance of breaking the seal . The consequence can be dire . We have to be prepared for the worst,” Ye Shaoyang explained .
“Who is this? Is he Heavenly Master Zhang?” Xie Yuqing ca in and asked, as she stared at the painting .
“No, this is Yu Qian . ”
“Yu Qian? You an Yu Qian the actor?” Xiao Ma chipped in jokingly .
“No, Yu Qian was the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty . He was a national hero,” Ye Shaoyang corrected Xiao Ma with a kick .
“Is he a Daoist then?” Xie Yuqing asked further .
”Well, no . Yu Qian was a strict minister back then, but he died tragically . He was honored as the ‘Loyal Sky Lord’ at the Altar of Gods . Both gods and demons revere him . That is why his portrait has so degree of evil-repelling effect,” explained Ye Shaoyang . Xie Yuqing nodded and kept quiet . She seed to understand it now .
Eight mirrors were made to stand in the room two-by-two . They faced inward and ford a square shape . Then, Ye Shaoyang surrounded the mirrors with red ink .
“What is this for now?” Xie Yuqing was curious about everything .
“In case any demon is able to break through the seal, these mirrors can reflect the Yin Qi, blocking their way out . The better alternative would actually be copper mirrors, but glass mirrors will do . ”
Next, two jackhamrs were also brought into the hall, although nobody even knew how to operate them . Xie Yuqing quickly searched on her phone for so manual instructions, while Liu Ming also called for so n to send over two giant ropes of electric wires to connect the jackhamrs to the electricity from the outside . Xiao Ma and Li Duo experinted with equipnt outside . Soon, they were able to figure out how to operate the jackhamrs . It was not really tough . Ye Shaoyang directed them to move the jackhamrs to the statue . They broke the cent, which separated the statue from the floor .
“You need to be very careful with this . Don’t put too much force into it,” Ye Shaoyang kept reminding them .
When the jackhamrs started to operate, it did not take long before dust and noise filled the room . Ye Shaoyang took out so masks and distributed them to everyone . Now that they realized the purpose of the masks he ordered, everyone was secretly impressed at how thoughtful he could be .
Once they separated the statue from the floor, Ye Shaoyang turned on the industrial grade cutter and experinted with it for a few minutes . Soon, he beca comfortable with it . It was not a complicated machine to operate either . Using the machine, he cut through the base of the statue . He shook the statue lightly . As he had expected, the statue was now swaying . When he saw this, Ye Shaoyang beca sowhat relieved . Just as he had hoped, the statue was actually added to the room much later and cented around the base to keep it steady . Had the statue been built from scratch on that spot, it would be a lot more difficult for him to move the statue away .
Now that the statue was ready to be moved, he signaled everyone to help him with it . There was a single red floor tile where the statue previously stood . The tile asured a ter on each side . It imdiately stood out among the sea of grey tiles around it .
“That’s weird . Why is this tile the only one with a different color,” Liu Ming was baffled .
“Hand the mirror . After that, stay outside . Don’t co in unless I tell you otherwise,” ordered Ye Shaoyang, as he ignored the question .
Once the others left, Ye Shaoyang squatted down and slightly lifted up the tile . The tile moved easily just as he had suspected . It was ti to reveal what laid underneath the tile . Ye Shaoyang took a deep breath, and he lifted the tile up completely .
The light of the lamp of eternity revealed a ‘卐’ symbol . Ye Shaoyang took a closer look . So sort of liquid ford this symbol . The liquid was slimy and had a silverish appearance . He closed his eyes and focused his senses, as he probed the liquid for any suspicious energy . Nothing . So, he tried to touch the liquid with his finger, but to his surprise, it did not adhere to his finger .
“I see, so it’s rcury,” Ye Shaoyang whispered to himself .
Apparently, this symbol was indeed a seal, and it was one that buddhist monks usually used . This particular one was known as the Seal of the Devil Defeating Golden Warrior . Ye Shaoyang knew a thing or two about the Buddhist craft . It required an imnse quantity of energy to cast such a seal . The monk must have been very powerful . Ye Shaoyang noticed a dozen little beads within the rcury droplets . These little beads shone under the light . He gave it a closer look . He had initially thought that they were pearls, but it seed to be sothing else . They were all in different sizes . So were as big as an expensive pearl, so were as small as grains, and so even had different colors on it like a rainbow! Then, it hit him; these were the legendary Buddhist Bone Relics—Sarira!
It seems that the legend was true . This confird that a buddhist monk had been here . He had ditated here to achieve Nirvana, separating his body and soul . After he achieved this, the monk had burned his body into Sarira to seal this spirit nest .
Another brilliant idea hit Ye Shaoyang when he realized this . It was rumored that the Sarira a Nirvana left behind actually stored the final thoughts in the monk’s mind . If one had sufficient power, they could enter soone’s consciousness to extract mories or thoughts . Why not give it a try?
Ye Shaoyang imdiately sat down with his legs crossed . Then, he closed his eyes and focused to slowly initiate his Divine Eye .
The Third Eye was actually an invisible eye in one’s body . Although it could not be seen and could not be detected, it actually existed . People who cultivated to the level of Necromancer would open their Third Eye, which beca the Yin Yang Eye . This advancent would allow them to clearly see any spirit or ghost . Once a person achieved the level of Enlightened, their Third Eye would beco the Divine Eye . This eye allowed them to clearly see the truth or nature of all matters and substances . On the other hand, Ye Shaoyang had achieved sothing even greater . He had cultivated to the level of Heavenly Master . His Divine Eye had the ability of Abhinna . However, he needed to expend a large quantity of energy everyti he initiated the eye, so he only used it when necessary .
Through his Divine Eye, he saw a sea of calm dark water . Countless dark shadows were visibly struggling, rising up and down in the water, as they roared in anger . In the middle of the water, there was a bridge that rose up from the void . Additionally, there was a giant, mountain-sized golden Buddha statue upon the bridge . The shadows continuously moved in the direction of the statue . However, the golden light that the statue emitted deflected these shadows, which once again dropped into the dark water . But the shadows seed to lack other options . Once they dropped into the water, they gathered themselves and relentlessly tried to move toward the statue . The cycle went on non-stop . However, Ye Shaoyang knew better, as this was just an illusion that the Buddha light created . It represented the true events that were happening here—the massive quantity of evil spirits trapped inside were trying to break free from the seal . Suddenly, the statue opened its eyes . Two streams of water leaked out of the corner of the eyes and flowed downward .
