Chapter 10 Dead Water

“That’s it, that’s the place where I got enchanted . ”

Ye Shaoyang’s eyes followed the direction that Xiao Ma pointed in . There, he saw a lonely tomb that sat in the swamp . However, this did not draw his curiosity . Instead, he became interested in the locust tree behind the tomb . The locust tree was gigantic . Its trunk was as thick as a barrel, while it had many offshoots . The treetop slanted forward, and its leaves covered a few tombs . There was a pool of still water a short distance from the tombs . It reflected the cold light of the moon . Ye Shaoyang let out a sigh and said, “No wonder this place is haunted, this is a swamp filled with dead water and dried up trees . The dead water concentrates the Yin Qi from the surroundings, and the owner of the tomb directly absorbs the energy . The locust tree also covers the tombs there, which shades it from the sun . This aids its collection of Yin Qi . Another factor is that locust trees are demon trees, so they can easily form specters . ”

“Where is the ghost?” Xiao Ma asked nervously .

“Spray this into your eyes,” Ye Shaoyang passed a fist-sized bottle to Xiao Ma . “After you spray it, you’ll be able to see spirits for an hour . ”

“What is this stuff, cow tears?”

“This is the juice of Qixing Grass . Cow tears are too pungent, so I never use it . ”

Xiao Ma took the bottle from Ye Shaoyang and sprayed it on both his eyes . Then, he started to look around for spirits after he rubbed his eyes . Suddenly, he noticed something from afar and quickly grabbed Ye Shaoyang’s arm . Xiao Ma asked in a trembling voice, “Is .. is that what I think it is?”

Ye Shaoyang followed Xiao Ma’s line of sight and saw a person’s hazy figure . She walked slowly in their direction . Her long hair hung down, which covered her shoulder and face . She looked similar to a spirit from the movies .

“Hey hey hey, It’s coming here!”

“Keep it down!” Ye Shaoyang drew two Qi Hiding Talismans Papers and stuck it on the two of them .

“Now, spirits and demons won’t be able to detect your Yang Qi, but they will still be able to see you . As such, don’t make any big movements . Let’s just wait here first and see what it wants to do . ”

The female spirit walked into the swamp . She was only about 10 meters away from their hiding spot . Thanks to the light of the moon, the pair could make out her attire . She was wearing a tight tank top and a pair of short jeans . She had a pair of white pearly legs that were well toned, while her breasts were perfect and her buttocks mature . Her waist was also well toned .

“F*ck me, how can a spirit have such a great body? This one is even better than the last one!” Xiao Ma looked at her with perverted eyes, as he swallowed down a gulp of saliva .

“She’s not a spirit; she’s human! Spirits don’t touch the ground when they walk, and they will definitely not make any noises . ” historical

These words shocked Xiao Ma, and he paid even more attention to her body, “I was wondering how a spirit can be this incredible . Now that you say that she’s human, it makes more sense . But why is she here at this hour? Even if she is not afraid of ghosts, won’t she still be afraid of perverts?”

“Cut the crap man! Her spirit has been drawn . Just wait and see what happens next . ”

The lady walked as if she was in a trance . She walked straight, and she did not even avoid the pools of waters . Instead, she directly stepped into them, splashing herself with mud . Her back turned to toward the two of them, as she approached the locust tree . At this moment, Ye Shaoyang saw something eerie that hung on her back .

“My god .. . ”

Ye Shaoyang covered Xiao Ma’s mouth to shut him up . He could feel Xiao Ma trembling . Ye Shaoyang could totally understand how it felt to witness this kind of terrifying scene for the first time . At least, Xiao Ma did not pass out .

A woman hung behind the lady . This woman was wearing a red cheongsam and a pair of white high heels . Her hair was short, while her skin was terrifyingly pale . However, the scarier aspect was something else . The spirit was holding the waist of the lady with both arms, as her body dragged behind .

“This is called spirit bridging and is the preparation for the spirit to take over someone's body . You stay here, I’ll go deal with this,” Ye Shaoyang gave Xiao Ma a pat and slowly started to make his way down the small slope .

The lady was now in front of the locust tree . Suddenly, the female spirit behind her stood up and bent forward . She started to slip into the lady’s body like a snake . Then, the lady stood up straight and began to take off her belt . She strung the belt on a low hanging branch and made a loop . Without any hesitation, the lady put her head through the noose; she was about to hang herself .

As she was about to hang herself, a hand suddenly came from behind . It accurately stuck a purple talisman onto the forehead of the lady . Then, he touched her Meixin point between her eyebrows with his thumb . He began to pull the spirit out of the lady . The spirit let loose a painful screech, as it fell to the ground . The female spirit wasted no time . She swiftly got up, and her hands reached out toward Ye Shaoyang . Her fingers were skinny, and her nails were sharp .

“Still want to fight?” Ye Shaoyang smirked, as he took a step back and easily dodged the spirit’s attack completely . Then, he lifted his hand and tossed out eight old Chinese coins, which formed a Bagua .

“O' mighty Heaven and Earth, with the power of Yin Yang, destroy!”

Ye Shaoyang formed a hand seal and pushed it forward . The eight coins flew toward the spirit and struck her chest with force . This move heavily injured the female spirit and she laid on the ground . A hole had appeared on her left chest, which spurted out blood .

Obviously, spirits do not have blood, but her heavy injuries meant that she was unable to retain a better form . As such, she reverted to the state of when she had died .

“So you were shot . What a waste of a beautiful woman like you,” Ye Shaoyang liked to toy with these spirit, and he never took it too seriously .

“Please Mister, I will never do this again.. . ” The female spirit was trembling, as she pleaded for herself . After that small tussle with Ye Shaoyang, she knew she could not match his powers . He was not an ordinary sorcerer .

Ye Shaoyang casually placed his hands behind his back, and looked at the female spirit, “From what you’re wearing, you must be from the era of the early republic . You’ve already died for such a long time . Why haven’t you gone to reincarnate? Instead, you stay in the mortal realm and kill the innocent . ”

“You are absolutely right Mister, but a villain killed me, so I became confused and forgot to leave this world . Please Mister, I am only a poor girl, please let me go .. . ”

Ye Shaoyang gave her a stern look and said, “Plea to Yama, King of Hell, when you see him . The person who killed you will have his share of punishment, but it is no reason for you to dwell in the mortal realm . Moreover, you’ve stayed for such a long time and killed so many people . You better go to the underworld and account for your doings . ”

The female spirit sobbed and begged, “Please, if you help me a bit, I’ll be willing to do anything for you . ”

Do anything I want .. cough cough . She sure is some eye candy, but I don’t think I want to start a spirit-human relationship . Ye Shaoyang shook his head and started to draw a Soul Guiding Talisman Paper . He stuck the charm to the spirit’s forehead and muttered some words . Not long after, the female spirit began to fade and slowly disappear .

This was it? Ye Shaoyang felt that something was not right . Even though he was powerful, that spirit was at least a hundred years old . She had cultivated evil and even killed some people, so she should not be this weak!

At this moment, Ye Shaoyang looked down toward the dead pool of water before the grave . He smirked and realized what was going on . The lady who had almost hung herself laid motionlessly on the floor . The lady seemed to be in her twenties . She had an angelic beauty, while her body was devilishly hot . Ye Shaoyang walked toward her and wanted to wake her up . When he looked down at her body, he almost had a nosebleed . Since the lady loosened her belt, her short jeans were hanging down a few inches; there was a pair of pink panties underneath with an Angry Birds logo .
