Chapter 132 The Map of the Five Spirits

Once they came down from the roof, Xie Yuqing ran to them . She was relieved when she saw the three of them in good condition . She instructed police officers to lead them to a car . She gave each of them a bottle of water and asked them to rest in the car .

After Ye Shaoyang treated the scratch wound he’d received from the Six-Eyed Child, the flame became smaller and smaller and extinguished in the end . Xie Yuqing carried a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken into the car and put it on a seat . “I know you three haven’t eaten dinner yet . You must be hungry, I bet? This one's on me . ”

Three of them devoured the food . Before long, they polished off the whole bucket . Ye Shaoyang then licked his lips, ready to talk about all that had transpired . He related everything that had happened to Xie Yuqing . The story shocked her . She brought three of them back to the scene and searched again but found nothing .

Ye Shaoyang pushed open the door that led to the garden . The flame had burnt all the herbal plants to cinders . None of them had escaped from the fire .

“The Gu master poured gasoline everywhere, so the flame instantly raged and destroyed everything even though we managed to put out the fire,” explained Xie Yuqing .

Ye Shaoyang asked, “What about the poisonous insects in the courtyard pond?”

“Someone uncovered it . The poisonous insects were escaping when we arrived . We managed to kill some of them, but some escaped . Will this cause any trouble?”

Ye Shaoyang shook his head . “They’ll die soon without getting fed by the Gu master . But you’d better send your men to stand guard at the foot of the hill for a few days to prevent those poisonous insects from entering the village . ”

Xie Yuqing immediately gave the order with a phone call .

With Ye Shaoyang’s help, Xie Yuqing and her subordinates managed to find a few corpses and bones . This made the Gu master a wanted man . The police would use various methods to confirm his identity and find his hideout .

After that, Xie Yuqing arranged for the three of them to stay in the only police station in the village .

The Kentucky Fried Chicken they ate didn’t satisfy their hunger . So they ordered another few dishes and gorged themselves .

When Ye Shaoyang recalled today’s fight, his heart still fluttered with fear . Mainly because when he fought with the spirit servant he almost fell off the cliff, which would have smashed him to pieces . Even though he broke into a cold sweat when he remembered, he felt satisfied with the results — he had destroyed the physical body of a spirit servant and the Six-Eyed Child . He eliminated half of the strong opponents . Besides, he injured one of the eyes of the Gu master . Now one-eyed, the police could quickly recognize the Gu master while they searched for him .

Ye Shaoyang felt very pleased with the death of the Six-Eyed Child . He understood he had some luck in killing the Six-Eyed Child — that room was too small . Although the small space greatly limited his attacks, it also cut off the Six-Eyed Child’s retreat . Moreover, Old Guo’s brilliant idea to splash the concoction on the Six-Eyed Child and the Three-tailed Centipede helped him kill it .

The death of the Six-Eyed Child meant that the Gu master lost a great assistant . It would be easier to deal with him .

Those teenage girls who were trapped in the jug remained fresh in Xiao Ma’s memory . He gritted his teeth and said, “How could that Gu master do such cruel things to those women? What was the point?”

Ye Shaoyang replied, “He did that to cultivate the Three-tailed Centipede . Or maybe he wanted to develop hateful Qi and make the three of them into awakened spirits . Then he would cultivate their souls with some evil crafts so that they would become his spirit servants . But these are all guesses . I don’t know much about Miaojiang Gu craft . We’ll only know the truth when we meet Tan Xiaohui . ”

“Bah, he’s inhuman!” Old Guo spat on the ground and cursed, “I’ll sew this Three-tailed Centipede into his eye when we capture him . I want him to experience this ‘joyful’ sensation!”

Xiao Ma said in a sinister manner, “No . We should let the centipede dive into his anus and bake that region with a lighter . Hehehe… . ”

The two of them fantasized for a long time . Slowly, the punishment deviated toward those seen in A Chinese Torture Chamber Story . Ye Shaoyang angrily knocked on the table, “Hello! Are you two trying to make it impossible to eat!”

Finally, the two of them shut up . After a moment, Xiao Ma thought of something and asked Ye Shaoyang, “That bastard wanted your Qixing Dragon Sword and something called the Yunji Heavenly Manual in exchange for the antidote . What in the devil is this Yunji Heavenly Manual?”

“It’s a heavenly manual, that has nothing to do with the devil . . . ,” replied Ye Shaoyang .

His reply left Xiao Ma speechless . It was no fun to communicate with someone who was so out of touch with the modern era .

Old Guo explained in Ye Shaoyang’ stead, “The Yunji Heavenly Manual, also known as Qimen Dunjia Heavenly Manual, is divided into three scrolls of Heaven, Earth, and Mortal . The Heavenly scroll teaches one to fly and ride on clouds, and to call the wind and summon the rain; the Earth scroll teaches one to split a mountain into two, become invisible, and escape through the ground; while the Mortal scroll can—”

“This is so unscientific . ” Xiao Ma looked at Old Guo in seriousness . “You can’t just bluff me because I’m uneducated . Call the wind and summon the rain, do you think you’re a god?”

Old Guo felt slightly embarrassed at Xiao Ma’s rebuke . He gave a dry cough and said, “I’m introducing you the history of the Yunji Heavenly Manual . In reality, there’s only the Mortal scroll of the true Yunji Heavenly Manual . It contains the Daoist crafts only taught to Maoshan inner disciples . The Maoshan Sect has been the top in the sorcerer’s realm due to this heavenly manual . ”

Xiao May scratched his head . “This heavenly manual is powerful stuff . So what are the Daoist crafts recorded in it?”

“How do I know? I've never seen it . ” Old Guo pouted at Ye Shaoyang . “Ask him . ”

Ye Shaoyang took a black, photocopied scroll out from his bag . “This is it . ”

The two of them puzzled . Old Guo said that the Yunji Heavenly Manual was the most valuable treasure in Maoshan and even the Daoist Sects . How could it just look like a stack of scrap paper?

“Eh, isn't this is the porno mag you were reading that day?” Xiao Ma wanted to take the heavenly manual, but Ye Shaoyang fended him off and quickly stuffed it back into his breast pocket .

“This is the photocopied version . There's only one original copy, and of course, I can't bring the original copy with me . Since the Gu master knows I'm an inner disciple of Maoshan Sect and the enemy of Chen Jianbo, he must’ve followed me for quite a long time . What I want to know is if there’s any relation between him and Madam Chee’s Temple . ”

Xiao Ma abruptly asked, “Oh Little Ye, will the Gu master be your equal if you two fight face to face?”

Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes and didn't reply .

Suddenly, Xie Yuqing rushed in and ran to Ye Shaoyang . “We found a notebook when we were cleaning that room . The book recorded some information, but I’m not sure if it’s useful for you . ”

Ye Shaoyang grabbed the notebook . The first few pages were burnt, and only the last few pages were written with words that were not Chinese characters . After they tried to identify the words and searched on the Net, they confirmed the words were Miao language .

“The words are too cursive . Even the translation app can't recognize them,” Xiao Ma said . “I suggest, we show this to the loli . ”

“Who’s the loli?” Xie Yuqing blinked her eyes, “Even more loli than me?”

“You’re Her Majesty . ” Xiao Ma quickly pleased her .

Ye Shaoyang flipped to the last page of the notebook . On the page was a pencil sketch . A few red dots marked the center of the picture and unrecognizable Miao characters were below . There was another picture on the back of the page . To Ye Shaoyang’s surprise, he was quite familiar with this picture — three horizontal lines at the center . It indicated the ‘Kun’ position in Bagua .

Initially, Ye Shaoyang thought the picture was just a coincidence, but after he checked the red dots marked on the picture on the front page, he confirmed his inference . The four red dots represented the Kun, Xun, Li, Dui positions in Bagua . They were the Four Yin Bagua .

Immediately, Ye Shaoyang showed the picture to Old Guo . After some discussion, Old Guo confirmed, “This is a map!”
