Spirit Hunters of Maoshan Sect

Chapter 178: Chapter 178 Tai Sui

Chapter 178 Tai Sui

Ye Shaoyang was surprised, and he followed the man to the riverside where the corpse lay . There was something white stuck under the lowest rib .

It was something round, and it protruded out . It looked like a mushroom or a white bun . It had a very round top with slightly wrinkled sides .

“What is this thing? A mushroom?” Xiao Ma came close and wanted to touch it but was slapped by Ye Shaoyang .

Ye Shaoyang went closer, observed for a while, and asked Old Guo, “Senior Brother, you recognize this treasure?”

Old Guo examined it closely and smiled, “I know what this is! It really is a treasure!”

Xiao Ma was interested, “Come on and tell me what it is . ”

Ye Shaoyang did not respond . Instead, he picked up a triangular rock and used the sharp point to cut the ‘bun’ . White fluid flowed out, but after a few seconds, the cut began to close . Within two minutes or so, the cut was gone, and it was flawless again .

Ye Shaoyang explained, “It’s called Tai Sui . It’s a kind of Lingzhi mushroom, but Tai Sui’s are very rare . They have incredible regenerative abilities . Even if a big chunk of it was cut out, it would recover within a few days . ”

Xiao Ma suddenly smacked his head and said, “Oh, I remember . I think I’ve seen it in my history book . They say these things appear when there are famines . People would take it, and it would never run out . ”

Ye Shaoyang nodded, “Yes . It has an incredible regenerative ability, but it’s not limitless . In the sorcery realm, these things are called Qi creators . With only water, this thing would be able to produce spirit energy . No wonder the female corpse didn't rot away, and the Gu didn’t want to move out . ”

Xiao Ma thought for a while and said, “That means that this Tai Sui thing was put in by that black-faced Jinshuai, right? Why did he do that?”

Ye Shaoyang explained, “That’s easy . Using the mountain waters to nurture the Tai Sui, the Tai Sui would nourish the corpse, which hosted the Gu . With the planted trees, it would collect all the energy and send it down the river to the dam . That’s where the river spirit would absorb it and turn it into spirit Qi . ”

“Wow! A whole life cycle! That’s so complicated!” Xiao Ma exclaimed .

Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, “Well, with the Maoshan Fengshui arts there are a lot more things we can do . For example, turning the Qi from a tree into life force . This formation is just child's play . ”

After saying that, Ye Shaoyang plucked the Tai Sui off the corpse and handed it to Old Guo, “Here, raise it well and it might be useful for us in the future . I hope you don’t kill it . ”

Old Guo put it into his bag and said, “Don’t worry, I know just the right way to nurture it . ”

Ye Shaoyang and the others sat along the river as they watched the family clean the bones and bury the corpse . Then, they got up and asked Li Laoxing to help change the flow of the river to break the formation .

When they were done with that, Ye Shaoyang walked along the river until he reached the dam . Slowly, Ye Shaoyang saw clear water flow into the dam .

“Now that the source of energy is gone, the formation is broken . Within a few days, half the water in here will be clear . By then the river spirit will not have much Spirit Qi left . ”

Just as he said that waves started to form! From where Ye Shaoyang stood, the water began to split until it created a large gap in the pool of water .

Immediately, the villagers moved back, and even Old Guo took a few steps back . Only Ye Shaoyang stood in place and did not move because he knew who was coming to see him . The waves crashed near him, but no water touched him .

Then from within the gap, a figure appeared . It was a woman wearing ancient Chinese clothing . She looked intently and angrily at Ye Shaoyang .

“Master Ye,” her stern voice was mixed with the sound of splashing water . “Do you really want to kill me?”

Ye Shaoyang shrugged and said, “What are you even saying? Hunting down spirits is part of my job . I gave you a chance to surrender, but you didn’t want to, so I have no choice . ”

“Don’t be too cocky, Master Ye . Even if I don’t have the aid of the formation, I am still powerful enough to deal with you!” Her voice became more fierce at the end of her speech .

Ye Shaoyang smiled and shook his head . From his point of view, her anger was only a representation of weakness and fear .

“If I wanted to end you, I could!” Mei Hua said in a stern voice . Then, she slowly receded into the water, and the water became peaceful again .

“Let’s go,” Ye Shaoyang did not even bother to look back .

Li Laoxing caught up with Ye Shaoyang and asked nervously, “Master Ye, now that the river spirit is angry, will it cause trouble for our village?”

“It won’t . If it were able to enter your village, countless villagers would have died . At most, all she can do is kill anyone near the dam, so tell your people not to go close for the next few days . ”

Li Laoxing nodded and understood .

When they returned to the guest house, Ye Shaoyang immediately went to take a shower . By the time he was satisfied, he had almost emptied a bottle of soap and scrubbed his face until it was red . The clothing he had would be impossible to clean, so he threw them away and put on something fresh . Then, he went downstairs .

Xiao Ma also came out from the shower . When he saw Ye Shaoyang, he immediately turned the other way in fear of getting his a** beat again .

Ye Shaoyang gave him a look, went beside Old Guo, and asked, “Senior Brother, what are you doing?”

“Wrapping up the Tai Sui . Here, I’ll show you something else!”

Old Guo reached into his bag and took out a chain that was finger-thick . It was a shiny and elegant black . Even in a poorly lit room, the chain still had a mysterious black aura and shine to it .

Ye Shaoyang took it and immediately recognized it, “This the chain that the underworld midwife used!”

Where the chain met his hand, he felt a certain coldness and an irresistible power .

Then, it hit him, “Wait, this is a Spirit Binding Chain used by Spirit Commissioners!”
