Chapter 129 A Second Encounter

This demand left Ye Shaoyang slightly taken aback, So that's what he is after .

The Yunji Heavenly Manual, a secret Maoshan manual passed on from master to student; it had three books in total . The power and authority of Maoshan Sect was based on this manual and the three powerful sorcery weapons they possessed .

He could not hand over either item . However, Ye Shaoyang was not stupid . He knew he had to at least act like he would hand over something . So, he pretended to be in deep thought and said, “I can't give you both of them, so maybe something else? Or maybe I'll just hand one of them over to you?”

The Gu master’s eyes lit up with excitement when he heard this, “Okay, hand over your Qixing Dragon Sword first . ”

“Ah . . . fine . I'll hand it over . If you let us out, I'll give you some more things . But I really can't hand over our secret manual . ”

Ye Shaoyang spoke in a very reluctant tone, and it totally convinced the Gu master, who happily replied, “That's more like it . Hand me your Qixing Dragon Sword, and I'll cure you right now . ”

Ye Shaoyang clenched his fists and said, “Fine, I'll trust you once . ” He reached behind for his Qixing Dragon Sword .

Old Guo worriedly shouted, “Junior brother, you can't do this . Even if you give him the sword, he will not let us go!”

But it was already too late . Ye Shaoyang had raised his hands and thrown something out . Due to the dark room, the Gu master could only see something fly toward him . He thought it was the Qixing Dragon Sword, so he reached out with his hand for it . But the thing went through his hand; it shot into his right eye and burst his eye apart .

“Bazi in hand, with an unbreakable thread, come down now!” Ye Shaoyang formed a hand seal . Then, he made a pulling action . Instantly, the Gu master’s body started to get pulled down the chimney, but the Gu master did not react slowly . He swiftly grabbed onto the thing in his eye and wrenched it out . But as he forcefully tore away the object, he also ripped out his eyeball .

“Ahh…” screams of pain came down the chimney . The Gu master severed the vessels and connective tissue . Then, he quickly backed up from the chimney and used a flat stone to cover up the chimney hole . Muffled screams constantly came from above the trio .

Only now did Old Guo realize Ye Shaoyang’s purpose . He scratched his head and said, “Sorry junior brother, I didn’t realize what you were doing . Even though your coin of soul capturing didn’t manage to pull him down . . . it did get his hand and eye!”

Xiao Ma was not as optimistic, “What’re you so happy about? If we can’t get out of here, we’ll die!”

Ye Shaoyang took out his phone; he wanted to call Xie Yuqing . Luckily, there was reception, and he could make the call . He quickly described their position and location, and he asked her to quickly send some men over .

Suddenly, the flat stone that covered the chimney moved . The angry Gu master said in a very cold but trembling tone,

“Ye Shaoyang, you’ll pay for what you did . I hope you are ready for the Six-eyed Child that is coming down to shred all of you to pieces!”

When the trio heard the words ‘Six-eyed Child’, they were all stunned . Before they could even come to their senses, a black shadow suddenly came down from the chimney . Immediately, the flat stone covered the chimney again .

The trio instinctively cowered in the corner . Ye Shaoyang turned to see how the other two were doing . Both of them had pale faces, and their bodies trembled greatly .

With the help of the candle, they could vaguely make out a child that had charcoal black skin . The child crawled on the floor . It had a humongous head with had six eyes . Other than its two ‘normally’ positioned eyes, it also had a pair just above its eyebrows and another pair on its forehead . It had only opened one pair of its eyes, and it stared at them with great hatred . Its mouth opened slightly and revealed two rows of very pointy and sharp teeth, which reflected the candlelight back at them .

It wore a silver necklace around its neck that had a small blood red bell tied to it .

“Six-eyed Child!” Old Guo shouted in fear, “That’s a Six-eyed Child!”

Like a response to Old Guo, the Six-eyed Child let out a grim smile . A cat-like call came from it . Then, it began to shake the bell around its neck .

“Ding, ding . . . ding, ding, ding… . ” The bell rang at a rhythmic pace, sometimes fast, sometimes slow . Mesmerizing, yet eerie .

A gust of cold air blew toward them, as the ringing continued . Instantly, hundreds of insects rained down on the three . Ye Shaoyang looked up and saw countless, woodlouses, millipedes, earthworms, and centipedes . As soon as the insects got onto the trio, they quickly crawled toward their faces .

The feeling of these bugs crawling on their skin made them collapse . Ye Shaoyang swiftly chanted something and got rid of the insects on himself . Then, he quickly drew his Qixing Dragon Sword and thrust it toward the Six-eyed Child .

But the Six-eyed Child seemed to know what the sword was, and it quickly dodged back . It climbed onto the wall, got onto the beam of the roof, and continued to ring the bell .

Then a great scream came from behind Ye Shaoyang . He turned back and saw something that almost made him puke . The insects on Old Guo and Xiao Ma eagerly tried to enter the orifices on their heads . Old Guo fared better; he kept chanting, which prevented the insects from entering his head . However, Xiao Ma was not doing very well . His mouth, eyes, and ears were filled with insects . Blood kept flowing down, and he kept yelling in pain .

Where did all these bugs come from?”

Suddenly, a thought came to Ye Shaoyang’s mind, That bell around its neck . . . could it be controlling the insects? Is it some kind of sound related Gu art?

Immediately, Ye Shaoyang chanted a mantra . Then, the insects that had just gotten onto his face swiftly disappeared .

It’s an illusion!

Ye Shaoyang directly gathered his Gang Qi and shouted at the Six-eyed Child, “Limitless Yin and Yang!”

A clear chant resonated within the small room . Quickly, the bell around its neck cracked and shattered into millions of pieces . When that happened, the insects that attacked them also disappeared . Old Guo touched his face and discovered no more insects, so he felt relieved .

Xiao Ma still had his hands on his face, as he rolled on the ground and yelled in pain .

Ye Shaoyang gave him a kick and said, “Stop yelling, get up . ”

Xiao Ma got up . Then, he touched his face and his body . No more insects . He let out a breath of relief and said, “Thank god that was just an illusion . If it were real, I would have wanted to kill myself . ”

With the bell broken, the Six-eyed Child roared out angrily and jumped toward the three .

Ye Shaoyang was not at all fazed . He raised his Qixing Dragon Sword and slashed toward it .

However, the Six-eyed Child was nimble . It dodged the slash and went down to grab Ye Shaoyang’s leg . Its mouth opened wide until its ears . Then, it swiftly closed its mouth .

Pa! something hard had definitely clashed . A shovel had struck the Six-eyed Child's head . The strength of the wielder was fairly great, and it made the creature’s head tremble .

A direct hit from Xiao Ma! He exclaimed angrily, “Motherf*cker! Made so many f*cking insects to bite me! Bite me, yeah!” Xiao Ma used the shovel to give its head another good whack .

It was wrong to say that Xiao Ma was completely useless and was only . His heavy, ninety-kilogram body meant that he had a lot of strength . With a handy shovel, Xiao Ma kept on smacking the Six-eyed Child . Then, he smacked its forehead and sent it flying to the other side of the room . The Six-eyed Child crashed into the wall . Then, it looked angrily at Xiao Ma .

“What are you looking at? Acting tough?” Xiao Ma wanted to go over and give it some more smacking, but Ye Shaoyang stopped him, “Don’t get too cocky, just take care of yourself . ”

The Six-eyed Child sat on the ground and violently shook its head . Suddenly, the skin on both sides of its neck split apart, and two blobs of flesh slowly grew out . Slowly but surely it formed . . . two more heads!
