Spirit Hunters of Maoshan Sect

Everything looked the same in the apartment after a few days except it seemed to be saturated with--

Yin Qi?

“I feel cold,” Xiao Ma hugged himself once he entered the apartment . He looked around and saw that the windows were tightly sealed .

“It is because of Yin Qi,” Ye Shaoyang said .

“Yin Qi?” Xiao Ma paused for a while and suddenly understood, “Is it like what you said before: a building will slowly accumulate Yin Qi when deserted for a long period?”

Ye Shaoyang sneered, “We only left the apartment for a few days . It is impossible to accumulate so much Yin Qi in that time . This apartment is haunted!”

His answer shocked Xiao Ma . He looked around nervously and asked, “Where is the ghost? Madam Chee or He Ji?”

Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes, “You overthink . It is just a common spirit that passed by the apartment . ”

“How on earth would a common spirit dare to enter our apartment?”

“It is because we were not home for the past few days . ” Ye Shaoyang advanced into the apartment and checked around as he spoke with a dissatisfied tone, “I want to see what foolish spirit dared to build its home here . ”

Xiao Ma pulled him aside and smiled mysteriously, “Little Ye, I will handle the spirit . It is a good opportunity to strengthen my courage . ”

“Are you sure?” Ye Shaoyang doubtfully frowned at Xiao Ma .

“Of course! Didn’t I say I wanted to be a Daoist? Do you think I can defeat the spirit with the Hellfire Talisman Paper?”

Ye Shaoyang did not answer him . He quickly set up a simple clover-shaped formation of copper coins in front of the bedroom and hid their vitality with a magic seal . The spirit could not see nor listen to what they said .

“The Hellfire Talisman Paper is not the right technique to capture a spirit . I will teach you a simple hand seal that can subdue a low-ranked spirit or demon . Observe . ”

Ye Shaoyang extended his right hand and connected the middle finger and the thumb .

“Breathe in before making the hand seal and imagine that Qi enters your body, flows to your arm, and accumulates in your spell finger . ”

Xiao Ma made a hand seal similar to Ye Shaoyang and asked, "What is a spell finger?"

"It is the finger which casts the spell . Your right middle finger is the spell finger for this particular hand seal . "

The hand seal was simple . Xiao Ma mastered it after practicing it a few times .

Ye Shaoyang sprayed Qixing grass juice into Xiao Ma\'s eyes and said, "The spirit is in the toilet now . Go!"

Xiao Ma turned around when he approached the bedroom and spoke to Ye Shaoyang in an awkward voice, “I won’t be in danger, right?”

“This spirit has little cultivation . Frightening people is the only skill it has . Just don’t be afraid of it . ”

Xiao Ma instantly replied, “Ah, easy! All the spirits I’ve met have never frightened me . ”

Ye Shaoyang’s mouth twitched . He did not tell Xiao Ma that spirits could display various terrifying faces regardless of their cultivation . Spirits with little cultivation liked to terrify people the most because they only had a few methods of attack .

Ye Shaoyang picked up the copper coins and walked toward the toilet in the bedroom .

They heard water splashing sounded from the toilet . Xiao Ma grabbed the handle, paused, turned around and looked at Ye Shaoyang timidly, “Little Ye, you must save me if I can not handle it . ”

“Don’t worry . Just do it . ” Ye Shaoyang pouted at Xiao Ma hinting him to go inside while he waited outside, crossed his arms, and waited for the coming show .

Xiao Ma took a deep breath and opened the toilet door .

There was nothing behind the door .

Xiao Ma stared blankly for a while . He checked carefully . There was no place to hide in the toilet, but he did not find the spirit .

When he was about to ask Ye Shaoyang, he heard the sound of water splashing again . He was stunned: the spirit was in the toilet bowl!

The lavatory cover was closed . Xiao Ma was confused . The toilet bowl was too small to hide an adult size spirit . Suddenly, his heart trembled .

Don’t tell me it is another infant spirit? He thought as the terrifying appearance of the Six-Eyed Child appeared in his mind .

“Hey, are you going to do it?” Ye Shaoyang was out of patience .

Xiao Ma clenched his jaws and opened the cover .

There was a hairy lump in it . He looked carefully and his heart palpitated . It was a head!

The head gradually turned and revealed a pale face . Instead of eyeballs, the sockets were filled with greenish fluid that flowed down its cheeks and into its open mouth .

It licked the fluid and let out mischievous laughter, “Hey! Hey! Hey!”

Xiao Ma gulped audibly . His face was pale as he leaned against the wall motionless .

” Hey! Hey! Hey!”

The head laughed spookily and rose . A pair of bloody hands extended from below the head . The hands gripped the toilet seat and lifted its body slowly out of the toilet bowl .

It dragged its scrawny body and crawled toward Xiao Ma .

“What are you waiting for? It is just a common spirit!” Ye Shaoyang shouted .

Xiao Ma recovered from his shock . Thinking Ye Shaoyang would help him out if he failed, he raised his hands and made the hand seal but, he went blank .

Was it the middle finger or ring finger?

Before he could ask, he felt something cold around his ankles . He looked down; the bloody hands were grasping his ankles .

“O\' mighty Heaven and Earth, with the power of Yin Yang, destroy!” He recited the incantation and smacked the spirit’s forehead with his hand seal . The spirit shuddered, and white smoke came out of its forehead as it moaned in pain . Suddenly, it sprung toward Xiao Ma and choked him .

‘Crack!’ It clutched Xiao Ma’s neck harder . As Ye Shaoyang moved to help, it threw Xiao Ma aside and flew out of the toilet toward Ye Shaoyang . It contorted its face trying to frighten him away .

Ye Shaoyang did not bother and stroked his right middle finger at it . The spirit paused for a while and realized that he was a sorcerer . It rushed toward Ye Shaoyang with a grunt .

Ye Shaoyang did not change his stance . His middle finger struck through its Spirit Qi and hit its forehead . With another move, he clutched its neck and looked at Xiao Ma, “Are you okay?”

Xiao Ma squatted on the ground and coughed . A moment later, he walked out of the toilet and shouted resentfully at Ye Shaoyang, “You said it was a piece of cake, and I could finish it with a hand seal . ”

“Your fearfulness caused an inconsistent level of Yang Qi in you and reduced the power of the hand seal . ”

Ye Shaoyang carried the spirit to the living room and slammed it on the ground . Looking at the prostrated spirit cringing on the ground, he said, “You’re very daring to build your nest here!”
