Chapter 300 The Spirit Fish 2

“But how could you be so confident about defeating the spirit before you even saw it?”

“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 .
