Chapter 192 Trying His Daoist Craft
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!”
