Chapter 300 The Spirit Fish 2
“But how could you be so confident about defeating the spirit before you even saw it?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“No, your question is redundant,” Xiao Ma could not help but interrupt the conversation, “There is no spirit equal to Little Ye . ”
“Don’t exaggerate it . The Underworld is vast, not that you can imagine it . Even in the mortal world, there are many powerful spirits and demons hiding such as Feng Xinyu and Madam Chee . Neither of them was easily defeated . However, a spirit that cultivates by hooking on a person would not be a powerful one . ”
After reaching her villa, they rested at the living hall for a while . Then, Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma each carried a spade to the garden and start digging the soil outside the Five Elements Formation .
Due to the rain yesterday, the soil was loose . They easily dug a big hole, two to three meters in depth . Ye Shaoyang used his Yin Yang Compass to locate seven places with heavier Yin Qi in the hole . He gently dug away a thin layer of soil at the seven places and swept them clean . Seven jars covered with red cloth appeared on each hole .
“Yuyu, are these the jars you used to make salted eggs?” Xiao Ma teased Zhuang Yuning .
“What? I have no idea why they are there . ” Zhuang Yuning frowned .
“Of course, you wouldn’t know . ” Ye Shaoyang stood upright and pointed at the seven jars, “What do they look like from the top?”
Zhuang Yuning and Xiao Ma paused and started studying them: Three of the jars formed a straight line with equal gaps between them while the other four formed two diagonal lines .
“It is an arrow!” Zhuang Yuning exclaimed .
“Yes, you are right . This is an Aquarii Arrow Formation . This garden is tailored for a grave’s Fengshui . The arrow points to your room so whenever the formation absorbs or produces Yin Qi, it will accumulate in your room . If I am not mistaken, your Kuman Thong cultivated with the accumulated Yin Qi, which is why it became so powerful . ”
Zhuang Yuning did not quite understand . She thought over and over again and asked, “But didn’t you say that spirits can only cultivate on an evil path if a person feeds them with raw meats and blood?”
“Raw meats and blood can produce resentment Qi, and it is used to refine the Yin Qi into power . They are complementary . And I suspect someone is behind this . ”
“Wait a second . You mentioned an Aquarii Arrow Formation . If the jars are the arrow, how about the Aquarii? Does it mean fish?”
Ye Shaoyang climbed out from the hole and came to the fish pond . He stretched out his hand and caught one finger-lengthed fish . As he showed the fish to them, he asked, “Can you see any abnormalities?”
Both of them stared at the fish . The fish had a black back and white belly and the scales glowed green . To their great surprise, unlike a typical fish, the fish stayed motionless in Ye Shaoyang’s palm . It was like it was dead .
Xiao Ma observed for a moment and said, “It looks like a crucian . ”
“No . It is a spirit fish . You can easily find them anywhere . However, no one knows how they reproduce . Actually, this fish is formed by the Yin Qi in the water . The thicker the Yin Qi in the water, the bigger the fish will be . This fish has grown to its maximum size . ”
His words terrified Zhuang Yuning, “Oh my God! I did not check the fish pond properly . I remembered I reared a few Koi fish in the pond . When did the spirit fish appear?”
“There are only two in the pond, and they don’t come up to the surface, of course, you will not realize their existence . ” Again, Ye Shaoyang dipped his hand into the pond and caught another fish .
“Look again, what are their similarities?”
Again, Zhuang Yuning hit the nail on the head, “They have no eyes . Why?”
Ye Shaoyang nodded, “All water has Yin Qi, so spirit fish are very commonly seen in water . The Fengshui says, ‘If the spirit fish has no eyes, it means it is dangerous to enter the tomb’ . It means the Fengshui at that place is experiencing a problem . If Yin Qi accumulates for a long period, whatever stays in the place will become a Violent Undead . But in your case, it is different; the existence of the spirit fish was to feed your Kuman Thong . ”
As Ye Shaoyang finished his words, he threw the two fish onto the ground . The fish flopped and died .
“Is it okay to leave them like that?” Xiao Ma asked worriedly .
“They are just fish, not demons . They will die after being exposed to sun . ” Ye Shaoyang simply got a rock and jumped down the hole and broke one of the jars . A thick black smoke emerged . A palm-sized beetle like insect squeezed out among the broken pieces of jar, trying to escape .
Ye Shaoyang had readied a talisman paper and stuck it on its head . It stood still at once . Ye Shaoyang flipped the beetle with his feet and spoke to the two, “Look at it . ”
Xiao Ma and Zhuang Yuning gave a gasp of astonishment the moment they saw the belly of the beetle .
The beetle had a black outer shell but a blood-red belly; it had a few white dots that formed a human face: It had a pair of saggy eyes, and the corner of its lips pointed downward, resembling a Beijing Opera Facial Mask with a sorrowful expression .
Xiao Ma and Zhuang Yuning thought it was just a coincidence . However, when they looked closely, their legs gave way because the face was alive . It would blink intermittently and sometimes they could see red pupils in the eyes . When they gazed at the face for a longer period, they felt the face became bigger, and the corner of the lips tilted upward and cast an eerie smile .
They went blank and stretched out their arms, trying to touch the face . Suddenly, a shadow blocked between them and the face . They shuddered and came around . When they looked up, they saw Ye Shaoyang standing in front of them .
“What happened?” Zhuang Yuning screamed .
“It is just a spell, a simple trick . ” Ye Shaoyang bent and caught the beetle . He looked over his shoulder and asked Zhuang Yuning, “Do you have Baijiu?”
Zhuang Yuning thought for a while, “How about rum?”
“What is rum?” Ye Shaoyang scratched his head .
“It is a type of western wine . I only have rum in my house . The alcohol content is quite high, almost similar to the Baijiu . Are you drinking it?”
“Nope . But we can try . ”
Zhuang Yuning turned around and went back to the villa . After a while, she came back with a pint of amber colored wine . She opened the cover and handed it to Ye Shaoyang . He sniffed it and found the smell strange .
“Can it be used? If not, I can go and buy Baijiu . ”
“It is okay . I can try using it . ” Ye Shaoyang poured a little rum onto the beetle’s face . The face distorted at once and groaned . Moments later, the face fainted and melted together with the rum .
