Spirit Hunters of Maoshan Sect

After the line connected, Zhou Jingru said, “Big brother Shaoyang, it’s done . I’ll spare you the details, but basically, my dad gave Chen Jianbo’s father some pressure to ask Chen Jianbo about the incident . Then, Chen Jianbo admitted he played a part in this, but he said that he didn’t know the Gu master . According to him, the Gu master approached him . The Gu master told him that he could help him exact revenge . So, Chen Jianbo paid the Gu master two hundred thousand . They only met once . The Gu master handed him a bottle of cream at that time . He said that he never heard from the Gu master after that . ”

This news left Ye Shaoyang dumbfounded, Damn it, I thought that he hired the Gu master to exact revenge on his behalf . If it was like that, I could just pay the Gu master more money to obtain the cure . I would never have thought that the Gu master would use Chen Jianbo to pass the Gu… .

Who was this Gu master, and what hatred does he have against me?

“How old was the Gu master, and what did he look like?” Ye Shaoyang asked .

“He said that the Gu master was around forty, short, full beard, and tanned skin . That’s all that he can remember, and I don’t think he lied about this . ”

Ye Shaoyang knew that he would not lie about this . Since he had already admitted to his actions, he had no reason to make up another lie .

“Brother Shaoyang, my dad promised he would not pursue the matter if Chen Jianbo told the truth, so . . . I hope that you can also do the same and not make it hard for my dad . ”

“I understand . If your father didn’t promise him this, he’ll probably never tell the truth,” Ye Shaoyang said, “So, don’t worry . My main concern now is to find that Gu master and save myself anyways . I don’t really have the time to deal with Chen Jianbo . ”

Zhou Jingru felt slightly relieved when she heard this, “Oh, Chen Jianbo also gave me some other information . He said that the Gu master asked him to buy some herbs, cinnabar powder, some realgar, and send it to Jiuyin Mountain . So, he got someone else to send the materials there, but that person has yet to return . ”

At this point, Ye Shaoyang felt shocked . He continued to listen to her words . Then, Zhou Jingru said, “I think the Gu master must live in Jiuyin Mountain . I did some search and found that it isn’t far from Evergreen Villa . There is only one village in the valley of the mountain . So, if the Gu master stays there, the people around the village would definitely know him . . . so, how about I drive you there and we can try to look for him?”

Ye Shaoyang thought for a bit and said, “I think you best not go . I might not be able to protect you if something bad happens . I’ll go with senior brother Guo since he has a car too . ”

“Okay then, you be careful, yeah? Let me know how things go, okay?”

Ye Shaoyang expressed his gratitude . Then, he ended the call and told Old Guo and Xiao Ma about it . The words ‘Jiuyin Mountain’ shocked Old Guo . He said in a trembling voice, “Jiu . . . yin Mountain!”

Ye Shaoyang glanced at him and asked, “Don’t tell me this is another well-known haunted place… . ”

Old Guo explained, “Well, there aren’t any spirits there, but Jiuyin Mountain is part of the Shunkun mountain range . The whole Shunkun mountain range is in the shape of a dragon, and Jiuyin Mountain is the tail portion . The valley there is called Long Wei Fu . It is the deepest valley of the mountain and also the location where Yin Qi would gather . I’ve heard that many evil sorcerers would go there to cultivate . But the Fengshui of the place died a hundred year ago when the mountain river dried up, so the sorcerers abandoned the place . ”

Ye Shaoyang frowned and said, “This guy probably lived there because of the Fengshui . I guess we’ll have to go check it out . ”

Old Guo nodded, “I’ve been to that place . I’ll accompany you . ”

Then, Ye Shaoyang turned to Xiao Ma, “You… . ”

“I’ll go too!” enthusiasm filled Xiao Ma’s eyes, “As a person who wants to become a Heavenly Master, I must personally go and inspect the Fengshui of that place . ”

His words made Ye Shaoyang speechless, but he knew that he could not deter Xiao Ma . But he thought it was a good idea to bring him along too since he could help carry the heavy stuff . So, they gathered up some materials, just in case they needed to fight the Gu master . Then, they hopped into Old Guo’s car . They drove for an hour and arrived at the Evergreen Villa . Then, they continued on the mountain road . When they arrived at an area that provided a panorama of the mountain range, Old Guo pointed and said, “See? That’s the ‘dragon’s tail’, and it connects to the Fengshui in Jiuyin Mountain . ”

Ye Shaoyang suddenly felt worried, the thought of something or someone bigger behind the scenes of this whole situation filled his mind . Then he mused, Maybe this Gu master is the one who broke the seal on Madam Chee’s temple… .

If he did do it, why?

By the time they got off the road up the mountain and onto the road that would lead them to the village in the valley, the day had almost finished . Suddenly, Old Guo felt something off about the car; something had happened to the front left wheel . Then, Old Guo said, “Why does it feel like there is no air in the left front wheel?” He peeped his head out the window and saw something that shocked him . He yelled and almost jumped off his seat .

“What’s wrong?” Ye Shaoyang quickly peeped out too . Nothing was there .

“There was a person, no . . . a spirit . It was on the tire and . . . was sucking the air out of the tire!” Old Guo took a few quick breaths . Then, he went down to check on the tire . The tire was out of air, but nothing was around . He mumbled in confusion, “Where is that spirit?”

Xiao Ma felt that the situation seemed a bit suspicious, “Were your eyes playing tricks on you? How could Little Ye not sense it?”

Then, Ye Shaoyang said, “I did sense some spirit Qi, but it didn’t linger for long . ” He exited the car to check, but there was no more spirit Qi around .

Old Guo opened up the boot, got out a pump, and was going to hand it Xiao Ma .

“Why can’t you do it?” Xiao Ma complained .

“I umm . . . have to check the Fengshui around this area,” he took out his Fengshui compass and acted seriously .

Who would have guessed that Xiao Ma was not going to accept that sh*t, “You can say all the sh*t you want, you old trickster . When is it your turn to look at the Fengshui when Little Ye is around? Just like when we fought the awakened undead last time . You were well behind us taking pot shots, while we risked our lives . ”

Old Guo’s face reddened, but he still continued his Fengshui act .

At that moment, they heard a loud Chinese shawm resound from the valley; the sound grew closer and closer .

The sound shocked Xiao Ma, “What’s this? Are they escorting the bride?”

Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes and said, “No one holds a marriage at night . . . unless it’s a Posthumous marriage . ”

Old Guo explained, “They are sending the dead away . In Stone City, they often blow the Chinese shawm along the way to the burial site . ”

Right as these words left Old Guo’s mouth, a row of people with white bands around their waists walked up the road . Ye Shaoyang quickly scanned them and saw around ten people . At the end of the row, four men carried a red coffin . One of the men carrying the coffin had a very sad face and a hemp rope around his shoulder . Old Guo felt shocked, “No one is wearing mourning clothes . That means this person must have died young, and doesn’t have children yet . The sad man must be the father . And the hemp rope around his shoulder would mean that it was a sudden death . ”

As the row of people moved along, a man in Daoist clothes appeared at the back of the row . He had a long white beard that seemed glued on . He held a bell in one hand and threw out hell notes with the other .

“This person must have had a sudden and tragic death for them to hire a Daoist,” Old Guo muttered .

Then, Xiao Ma asked, “Which sect is he from?”

Ye Shaoyang smiled in silence .

The row of people had now reached the proximity of Ye Shaoyang and the others . The sight of outsiders shocked all of them, as no one would normally come here, especially at this hour .
