Spirit Hunters of Maoshan Sect Chapter 301 The Guaizai Folklore

Chapter 301 The Guaizai Folklore

After half a minute, the whole beetle melted along with the rum and disappeared.

Xiao Ma and Zhuang Yuning stood aghast watching this.

“Little Ye, what is that beetle? Why would it melt along with the rum?” Xiao Ma asked in astonishment.

Ye Shaoyang answered, “I remembered we learned about one incident that happened during the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. The emperor pointed at an insect and asked Dongfang Shuo what it was. Dongfang answered the emperor that it was a Guaizai. The Yin Qi from the dead body who died unjustly will form a Guaizai, and it will melt once it comes into contact with alcohol….”

“Yes. Yes. I remembered that story!” Xiao Ma interrupted; he looked excited as he said, “So it's a Guaizai, huh? Are there anymore Guaizai here? I want to upload its picture on Weibo; my post will surely get famous within a while.”

“Cameras will not be able to capture any evil beings.” Ye Shaoyang snorted.

“Big Brother Shaoyang, why is there a Guaizai in the jar?” Zhuang Yuning seemed to worry more about the presence of Guaizai.

“Someone placed it in the jar to facilitate the formation. Long story.” As he spoke, he jumped into the hole again. This time, he did not break the jar but cut the red cloth with his Soul Quelling Stake and poured a little rum into the jar. A shriek sounded and silence soon followed.

Ye Shaoyang killed the other six Guaizai within a breath and instructed Xiao Ma to carry out the jars, breaking and burying them in the ground. After they finished this, they headed back to the living hall. Zhuang Yuning quickly served them with a pot of tea.

While resting, they started to discuss about the formation. All the findings that Ye Shaoyang had found confirmed his guess that someone was trying to set a trap for Zhuang Yuning.

“There are two possibilities,” Ye Shaoyang held up his tea cup and paused for a moment before he continued, “First, the Aquarii Arrow Formation had been set up since you renovated the house. Did you manage the garden yourself or let someone take charge of the garden?”

Zhuang Yuning shook her head, “No for both. The garden had been like that since my dad bought it from the previous owner. I like the style, so I did not make changes to the garden.”

Ye Shaoyang nodded, “Your dad will not harm you, so we are left with the second possibility, which is, someone set up the formation when you were not at home. According to my experience, the person setting up this would need at least one whole night to locate and calculate the Fengshui positions and bury the jars. Have you been away from home for more than one night?”

Zhuang Yuning answered, “I will come back to sleep if I am in Stone City, no matter how late the day's events ended. Sometimes, I would not be around for more than three nights if I head outstation for competitions or events.”

“That's it. We have trouble now.” Ye Shaoyang sighed.

“Yuyu, do you have CCTV around your house?” asked Xiao Ma.

“I do. But the CCTV will reformat every two months, so we can only watch the CCTV footage for the recent two months.”

“Forget about it,” said Ye Shaoyang, “This formation has been here for more than a year. You might need to ask your dad about the previous owner. The formation might be there before you moved into this house, although the possibility is minor, we can't leave out any clues.”

Zhuang Yuning nodded, “Alright. So, is Mr. Hu still our main suspect?”

“Of course, don't forget that we have to go to the Children Amusement Park tonight.”

Zhuang Yuning sighed and muttered to herself, “Who is the person behind this? Why would he or she want to harm me?”

Nobody could answer her question. Ye Shaoyang felt desperate to know the answer but with the little information they had now, they still needed to work more to find the answer.

Ye Shaoyang sighed quietly. He had never expected to be involved in another troublesome haunted case again.

At noon, Zhuang Yuning planned to treat Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma to a nice lunch but Xie Yuqing called to tell her that the security's next of kin had arrived to settle his funeral.

Zhuang Yuning had no choice but to postpone her plans and quickly rushed to help.

On the other hand, Xiao Ma had a lunch date with Wang Ping, which left Ye Shaoyang alone eating fried noodles and two pancakes at a hawker stall near the villa. Then, he went back to the villa and took a nap.

Toward the evening, Zhuang Yuning and Xiao Ma returned one after the other. Zhuang Yuning looked tired but relieved, as though she had gotten a load off her mind.

“I helped them arrange the funeral and gave two hundred thousand Yuan as an expression of my good will,” said Zhuang Yuning.

“Two hundred thousand?!” Xiao Ma jumped.

Ye Shaoyang glanced at Xiao Ma and asked, “Why? Too much?”

“No. But according to the law, Yuyu does not need to be held responsible for the death. Besides, the security decided to sacrifice himself for her….”

“So what? The Netherworld Council will not charge her for his death either. But, after all, he died because he was saving her. It can be considered a debt for her. It is worthwhile to pay the debt with two hundred thousand Yuan. If not, she will need to return the favor in her future life and the return might be more costly.”

“How do I return him in the future life?” Zhuang Yuning wondered.

“Maybe you will need to marry him.”

“What?”

Ye Shaoyang laughed, “Perhaps he will be reborn as a tall, rich, and handsome man.”

Zhuang Yuning shrugged her shoulders, “Oh my, I would rather not take the risk.”

“That's why we should settle our debts during our present life. The debt I mentioned does not only refer to money; many other things that can be a debt.”

After listening to Ye Shaoyang's explanation, Zhuang Yuning felt relieved that she made the right choice.

After they had their dinner, they chit-chatted in the restaurant until nine o'clock before Ye Shaoyang finally decided to set off to the Children Amusement Park.

“Why did the Kuman Thong not report to the Netherworld Council and could stay in the mortal world after she abandoned it?” asked Xiao Ma when he studied the map.

“It will be captured if a spirit commissioner finds it. However, it has a spiritual body, which is the puppet. The puppet is its shelter. Once it is in there, the puppet will insulate its Spirit Qi from the outer world, and the spirit commissioner cannot detect it. Furthermore, it has no violent Qi, and it is harmless, so it usually will not attract the attention of any spirit commissioners and sorcerers.”

Ye Shaoyang paused for a moment and continued, “The spiritual body cannot be moved. As long as the child spirit is still in the mortal world, it won't run far away from its spiritual body. So, we can try our luck in finding it nearby its spiritual body.”

The amusement park was dead silent and pitch black. Fortunately, the moonlight was bright, and they could just barely see the surroundings.

The three of them walked past a ferris wheel, carousel, and many more amusement park rides. They arrived at a small pavilion situated at the center of the park. From there, they could survey the whole amusement park.
