Chapter 173 Cultivating an Undead 3

Li Laoxing’s face turned pale upon hearing this, “No! We must not open it! The sorcerer said that this quartzite was to seal the undead! If we open it, the undead will be able to come out!”

Ye Shaoyang calmly said, “This is not sealing an undead . This is actually cultivating one!”

Li Laoxing was at a loss for words, “But the sorcerer--”

“What sorcerer is that!” Xiao Ma unhappily fired back at Li Laoxing as he pointed at Ye Shaoyang, “The sorcerer in front of you is a Heavenly Master of the Maoshan sect, the heavy-weight in the world of sorcery . All the sorcerers are just peanuts in front of him . The sorcerer you mentioned is nothing but a fraud!”

Li Laoxing had witnessed Ye Shaoyang slay a river spirit, so when Xiao Ma described Ye Shaoyang in such a way, Li Laoxing had no choice but to believe it . Li Laoxing’s face turned red with embarra.s.sment . He did not speak another word .

Ye Shaoyang angrily glared at Xiao Ma for being such a drama king . Then, Ye Shaoyang turned to Li Laoxing, “Can you please help me with arranging some workers? Bring along tools too, please . ”

Li Laoxing immediately called the village counsels to arrange for some manpower . Then, he told Ye Shaoyang, “I have informed them . The workers are on their way . Mr . Ye, what will happen after we open the grave?”

Ye Shaoyang explained, “Every tree in this forest is arranged according to the Eight Paths of Soul Binding Formation . The eight paths refer to life, death, sleep, pain, and--” He paused and noticed both his audience’s eyes were glossed over, and he gave up,

“Let’s not get into the details of the eight paths . That dude used pine trees to set up the formation, and he put up two cypress trees in the middle . They are two species of the same family and can be planted side by side with one another . This method is prohibited in Yin areas . In the world of Feng Shui, there is a saying: when pine meets cypress, chaos ensues and Feng Shui is destroyed .

“When a dead person is buried under two cypress trees, the sun can never reach the grave . Corpse Qi gathers and will never disperse . This hilltop is located exactly on the tip of the dragon’s tail spike . Violent Qi flows through this spot . It is like a mini spirit nest . This could have created a violent undead . However, the sorcerer had another plan . He directed the stream to pa.s.s over the grave so that the violent Qi is carried away . ”

Ye Shaoyang paused for a moment as he looked at Li Laoxing, who stared blankly at him in confusion .

Ye Shaoyang asked, “If I’m not mistaken, this stream is the water source for the dam . Am I right?”

“Yes, exactly . This stream flows into the dam . ” Now that Ye Shaoyang mentioned it, Li Laoxing shook his head with a troubled expression as he recalled, “The water in this stream used to taste pure and fresh . Ever since the sorcerer made this arrangement, the water tastes different now . It smells the same, but I swear it tastes weird . ”

Xiao Ma interjected, “I’m not stupid enough to drink this water . It is brewed with a dead body . ”

Li Laoxing thought for a while before he asked Ye Shaoyang, “You mean the water in this stream is now infused with violent Qi, and it has contaminated the water in the dam?”

Ye Shaoyang nodded, “Yup . Otherwise, how could the water in the dam have such strong concentration of Spirit Qi? Afterall, the river spirit had only killed a few people . That is not enough to create such a strong concentration Spirit Qi . In fact, the violent Qi was carried into the dam by the stream, and the river spirit turned it into Spirit Qi . The mountain was a Yang formation and the water was a Yin formation . Together, they create a complete Yin Yang formation . ”

Xiao Ma asked, “What should we do now?”

Ye Shaoyang pointed at the quartzite, “This is the focal point of the whole formation . Once we break this Yang formation, I’ll be able to force the river spirit out of hiding . ”

As the trio spoke, half a dozen men climbed up the hill with shovels over their shoulders . Li Laoxing waved his hand and signaled the men to come to him . Then, they were all ears for Ye Shaoyang’s instructions .

Ye Shaoyang instructed the men to dig a path to channel the water away from the quartzite . Then, he asked everyone to stand aside as he drew a talisman paper and stuck it onto the quartzite . After that, Xiao Ma joined him in clearing away all the little rocks surrounding the central quartzite .

A while later, the maple leaf-shaped quartzite was finally loose enough to move . Just as Xiao Ma began to lift it up with a shovel, Ye Shaoyang stopped him .

“Wait . ”

He took out two pieces of jade and handed one of them to Xiao Ma .

“Place it in your mouth . ”

“What’s this?” Xiao Ma asked as he took it from Ye Shaoyang .

“This jade is consecrated, it can absorb Corpse Qi,” Ye Shaoyang explained . “If there’s really a dead body down there, it has most probably become a violent undead by now . Although the violent Qi has been carried away by the water, this is still an undead . You might breathe in a full lung of Corpse Qi, and that is enough to give you diarrhea for a whole month . ”

Xiao Ma wiped the sweat from his forehead, “That’s not that bad, I’ll just think of it as a weight-loss session . ”

He said that but still anxiously put the piece of jade into his mouth . Then, he stepped onto the shovel, applied force to it, and lifted the quartzite .

Beneath the quartzite was a hole filled with water . Through the crystal clear water, they could see the body of a naked woman lying in it .

The woman’s skin looked soft and flawless, and she was in great shape . Her face was covered by long hair .

While every guy at the scene had their eyes fixated on the naked woman, they were only fearful and anxious . They knew by now that the woman might look lively, but there was no way she could be alive!

Li Laoxing took a few steps back after seeing the mysterious woman in the water .

He nervously asked, “Mr . Ye, what is this?”

Ye Shaoyang did not even hear the question . He was so focused on observing every inch of the woman’s body that he did not even blink once .

Xiao Ma noticed and teased, “I know this woman’s body is in great shape, but Little Ye, this looks very wrong, doesn’t it?”

“F**k off!” Ye Shaoyang scolded Xiao Ma .

The hole in front of him was more than a meter deep, and there were no tools for him to suck out the water in the hole . It was quite a challenge for him to get rid of the water by himself . So, he asked for the villagers’ help to dig up a small drain to direct the water into the stream .

“Mr . Ye, is it safe to get rid of the water in the hole?” Li Laoxing anxiously asked .

“Don’t worry; just do it . I’m here in case anything happens . ”

Since Ye Shaoyang had given his words of rea.s.surance, they no longer hesitated . Everyone got to work, and soon, they completed digging the drain . Ye Shaoyang lifted the puddle of mud that blocked the water, and the water immediately ran into the drain . In a matter of minutes, the water in the hole was gone .

When the woman’s body was exposed to the air, black qi sprayed into the air from her mouth and nostrils . Ye Shaoyang instructed everyone to back off . Then, he drew a talisman paper and threw it into the hole . The talisman paper absorbed most of the Corpse Qi in the air, and the jade pieces in Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma’s mouths absorbed the rest of it .

“Little Ye, is-- is this an undead?” Xiao Ma nervously asked .

Ye Shaoyang shook his head and reached out his hands to pull the woman’s hair away in an attempt to see her face . However, he realized her hair was all stuck to her nose and mouth . There was no way to pull the hair out .

“What… What is going on?” Xiao Ma held his breath in fear .

This was a creepy scene .
