Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Spirit Onboard!
Chapter 168 . Spirit Onboard!
Zhou Jinru also felt that Ye Shaoyang was very cool, but she worried for him too . Her hands pressed against her chest nervously, and she almost could not breathe .
Ye Shaoyang jumped off the peach wood sword and launched himself into the air . He sliced through the air and created an energy blade that cut the top part of the wave off . The lower half was still a meter high and charged toward the boat .
“Xiao Ma, deal with it!” Ye Shaoyang told him without even turning his head .
“No problem!” Xiao Ma was not nervous now . He quickly shoved some lime realgar mixture and ended the wave .
With the two of them working together, the humongous wave vanished, leaving behind only small waves . Due to the Pixiu Seal, the boat was not affected and no water got in .
Xiao Ma let out a breath of relief, but as he looked around, he did not see Ye Shaoyang . He panicked for a second, and then the boat shook a little . Xiao Ma looked down and saw a hand holding onto the side of the boat . It was Ye Shaoyang! He climbed into the boat and was totally wet .
Shocked, Xiao Ma asked, “Little Ye, why are you wet?”
Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes and said, “I fell in; of course, I’ll be wet . ”
Xiao Ma scratched his head and asked, “Weren’t you standing on the water like in the movies? How did you fall in?”
“That was just me using the energy of the peach wood sword . When that energy ran out, I fell . Of course, I’ll fell in . Do you think I’m Jesus and able to walk on water?”
“Okay . . . You did look like a divine being though . ”
Ye Shaoyang looked around and said, “Alright that’s enough, it’s not the end . Even though the seal is protecting the boat from the water, the girl might try to flip our boat . ”
Xiao Ma smacked his head and said, “Oh, I get it now . When the girl wanted to ask for compliments and then told us about using more water to wash the vegetable, she meant that she would try to capsize us?”
Suddenly, Ye Shaoyang felt a change in the Qi around the area, so he picked up his Yin Yang compa.s.s and began to examine the area . Ye Shaoyang smiled and told Xiao Ma, “The lair of that little s.h.i.t is right under us . I’ll go down and have a look . You go back . ”
Shocked by this, Xiao Ma asked, “You don’t have any diving gear . How are you going down?”
“I have my way . ”
Ye Shaoyang took out the Great Coin of Molding and chanted an incantation . Then, he pa.s.sed the coin and his date wood sword to Xiao Ma .
“Take these . The coin will protect you, and if you see any spirit or demon, just use the sword to kill it . ”
After saying that, he took out a shiny red pebble and put it in his mouth . He walked to the front of the boat and jumped in . Before he entered the water, he used his Gang Qi and activated the shiny red pebble .
He was a sorcerer, not a divine being; thus, he did not have the power to walk on water . Only in movies did the hero move through water without getting wet .
The shiny red pebble was a bloodstone that had been picked and polished by the Maoshan Sect’s ancestors . After they held a consecration ritual, it became a powerful tool .
Normally the stone was useless, but when entering a place with great Yin Qi or an extremely cold temperature . In order to use it, he only had to infuse it with a small amount of Gang Qi in order to activate and release the enormous amount of Yang Qi within the stone .
Water had Yin properties, so Yang Qi could repel it . Ye Shaoyang knew this fact, so he used the stone to repel the water around him . When he went in, the water was pushed back two meters away from him .
Once in the water, he chanted a water-breaking incantation and swiftly descended . Originally, he thought he was just going to drop ten meters or so, but he been falling for almost half a minute! He calculated it and figured that he had probably dropped fifty meters already . The depth of the dam shocked Ye Shaoyang .
When he looked around, it was pitch black, and he couldn"t see anything . Ye Shaoyang worried about the pressure of the water as he got deeper . If the water pressure got much higher, the amount of Gang Qi he needed would be greater . Ye Shaoyang knew he had to be quick . If he wasted too much energy repelling the water, then he would be too weak to fight the girl .
When he got to the bottom, he pulled out an ancient Chinese coin . He cut his finger and put some of his blood on the coin .
“Golden coin of power, with the power of my blood lead me now to the source of evil . ”
Ye Shaoyang flung the coin into the water . When the coin encountered the water, the water parted . Ye Shaoyang chased the coin for a while; then, the coin suddenly dropped .
Ye Shaoyang quickly stopped by it and dug up the mud of where the coin dropped . He found a fist-sized, green-colored snail sh.e.l.l .
“So this is your ‘house’,” Ye Shaoyang smiled and held the sh.e.l.l tightly in his hand . Then, he opened his Divine Eye and projected his consciousness into it .
Above the water’s surface, everything was peaceful . Xiao Ma joyfully drove the boat back toward the riverbank . He even hummed a song . Suddenly, a strange noise came from below the boat . ‘Ki-Ka-Ki-Ka!’ It was as though the motor had been caught in something . The boat shook for a bit, and then, the diesel motor stopped working .
No way am I this unlucky!
Xiao Ma tried to restart the motor, but it did not work . As he panicked and didn’t know what to do, a gust of wind suddenly blew the boat back towards the water and away from the riverbank .
Xiao Ma was shocked by what was happening . He knew that something evil was doing this, but he couldn’t do anything . He looked back and saw that the boat was headed towards a bunch of common reeds .
Black Qi hovered over the area, and when the boat entered the collection of reeds, the bright sky turned cloudy . Gusts of cold wind blew and pushed the boat deeper and deeper into the reeds .
Xiao Ma was very scared at this point . He looked around and saw nothing but reeds, and the dark sky did not help his fear . Then, out of nowhere, a small wooden pail appeared . It came close until it was about a meter away from the boat .
The wooden pail contained a red blanket that seemed to be covering something . Whatever it was, it seemed to be moving underneath the blanket . Xiao Ma was certain something was underneath it, and that it was probably a baby .
“Well, I want to find out what you are!” Xiao Ma worked up his courage, plucked a reed, used it to reach over to the pail and picked up the blanket with it .
There was nothing in the pail except for the blanket .
Xiao Ma was relieved . He flipped the pail over with the reed and saw something underneath the pail . It was something black . He thought it was seaweed at first, but upon closer inspection, it was hair .
It was hair! Hair that was floating along in the water .
Xiao Ma’s heart was now racing . His hands were wrapped tight and clammy around the wooden sword . His mind struggled to remember the spirit-killing incantation that Old Guo taught him .
Focus the mind, release the Qi . . . F*ck! How does it go again?
Suddenly, the hair in the water went under and disappeared!
Xiao Ma was freaked out . He looked left and right trying to spot the bunch of hair . Then, a sound came from behind Xiao Ma . The boat shook slightly . Xiao Ma’s heart dropped . He knew something was on the boat!
