Chapter 186: Yin Shen Takes Action [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Liu Bai was awakened by the black chickens in Wuji Town. Xiaocao was clamoring to kill all the black chickens in Wuji Town.

This little thing actually dared to disturb my master's rest.

After Liu Bai got up, he took a while to relax and exhaled. White mist could be seen in the room.

This means that it is really cold today.

But for him, a Yin-nourishing spirit, it made no difference. He even washed his face with cold water to sober himself up.

Waiting for him to pack up everything and walk out of the backyard with Situ Hong.

Xu Zhao and Li Shunbao also changed into their hiking clothes. Today, they were the only ones going to Laolang Mountain with Liu Bai.

Breakfast was also eaten on the way. Liu Bai didn't care about it. He just ate two steamed buns with plain water and that was it.

According to his arrangement, only one carriage was used.

Liu Bai and Situ Hong sat in the carriage, while Xu Zhao and Li Shunbao acted as coachmen. In short, the trip was kept to the simplest possible.

At first, Li Shunbao suggested bringing a few more people, but Liu Bai thought that even if he brought more people, they would all be sent to die, so he decided not to do it.

As for Li Shunbao and Xu Zhao, they have gathered the five energies after all. If a fight really breaks out, even if they can't help, they should be able to break their legs.

The two of them drove the carriage and left the town from the west of Wuji Town and set foot on the mountain road.

Along the way, Liu Bai actually saw many black chickens, with white feathers and black feet, and they were very big.

Xiaocao kept shouting that he wanted to catch a few, but was stopped by Liu Bai.

You can rob in front of someone, but you can’t steal behind their back.

Especially stealing from the weak.

That morning, Li Shunbao had already given Liu Bai a feng shui map, a feng shui map of Laolang Mountain and the area around Wuji Town.

He even marked two locations on it, which were very likely to be ambushes.

One of them is called Juyangtan, which is located exactly where the mountain road crosses the river. There is a deep pool in the river.

As for why it is called Juyangtan, Li Shunbao also wrote it under this feng shui map.

It is said that there was a water ghost in this pool of water in the early years. It specialized in tying up passers-by with their hair. Later, it was killed by a passing Taoist priest. In order to suppress the remaining evil spirit in the pool, the ghost was silenced.

This previously unknown pond was renamed Juyang Pond.

If someone is lying in wait for an ambush, Juyang Pond is a good place.

The second location is a valley in the mountains called Laohuaiao.

Most of the names of mountains are like this. You can tell as soon as you hear them that there is probably an old locust tree in that valley.

Although simple, it is also very easy to remember.

The reason why Li Shunbao suspected this place was because the forest in Laohuaiao was extremely dense, and most of the trees were yin trees that gathered yin energy.

There are many evil spirits and hidden obstacles, which are also suitable for sneak attacks.

After putting away the feng shui map, Liu Bai and Situ Hong got off the bumpy carriage. The mountain road was surprisingly rugged and full of exposed rocks.

Li Shunbao kept saying that he would ask the idle people in the town to fill the road in a few days to make it easier for the shopkeeper to travel.

Liu Bai sensed something different and asked again. Xu Zhao, who was walking in front and leading the way, spoke up.

"The people transporting the Yin beads are all paper sedan bearers. They carry wooden boxes on their shoulders and it is very easy for them to fall down on this rugged mountain road. Once they fall down, the Yin beads inside will spill out."

"At this time, there is a second fire consumption, which is also called toll money here."

Situ Hong was a little surprised when she heard this.

Their Situ family only has two Yin veins in total, and the one deep in the old woods is shared by four families.

Therefore, whenever the Yin Pearls were to be transported, the ancestors had to go and receive them. How could such a thing happen?
"Is this also arranged by the old shopkeeper?" Situ Hong asked.

"Yeah." Li Shunbao nodded, "It was better in the past few years, but in the past two years, the amount of Yin Pearls collected has decreased a lot. They didn't collect enough from the first layer of fire consumption, so they thought of the toll method."

"Later, we were not allowed to repair the mountain road."

Situ Hong showed an expression of having learned something new, "What about Laba Sect?"

"The Laba sect doesn't follow this path. They follow another path."

"You all go back and set off tomorrow." Liu Bai spoke suddenly and asked the three of them to stop.

"Sir, you..."

Situ Hong was so anxious that she directly called out "Mr. Liu Bai".

I don’t know if Li Shunbao and the others noticed it, but they were looking at Liu Bai in surprise.

"Then the shopkeeper..."

"I'll just go there by myself."

Liu Bai looked normal, as if he was talking about a trivial matter. In fact, he had thought carefully about it for a long time before he said this.

Even when he saw the feng shui map, he was already thinking about this.

If Li Da and his team really hired someone from the Paper Umbrella Society, it would definitely be to help Yang Yang Shen.

Instead of asking the Yin-nourishing God to walk the Yin path.

In this case, no matter whether it is Li Shunbao, Xu Zhao, or even Situ Hong, they are all useless.

There is also the risk of losing one’s life.

I had no choice but to follow the mountain path into the mountains, and eventually fell into their ambush.

But what if you are alone?
No matter how many ambushes there are on the road, just go around to the enclosure of Laolang Mountain, kill the two old guys of Li Da first, and then come back along the mountain road to launch a sneak attack after the ambush.

This way, it becomes somewhat interesting.

Why are we following someone else's script?
If you want to take action, you have to let others follow your script.

Situ Hong's first reaction was to think that Madam Liu was going to take action and it would be inconvenient for outsiders to see it, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

Li Shunbao and the other man, who originally didn't know what to do, saw that Situ Hong had agreed, so they didn't dare to say anything else. They just reminded Liu Bai to be careful on the road.

Seeing that the three of them went back along the mountain road, Liu Bai felt relieved.

Xiaocao was even more excited to watch the fun and jumped from behind Liu Bai onto his shoulders.

Then she waved her hand and shouted, "Next, it's time for you to hunt!"

Liu Bai cooperated and turned from a human into a ghost. Xiao Cao, as usual, hung behind Liu Bai like a little doll.

Liu Bai's body jumped straight up and left the mountain path, but in the blink of an eye he had risen into the clouds.

He looked down from a high vantage point and followed the winding mountain path. Soon he found the enclosure of Laolang Mountain at the end of the path.

If he had walked by himself, it would probably take him half a day to get there. But now, in just half a cup of tea, he had already landed in the enclosure of Laolang Mountain and had transformed from a ghost into a human.

It was still early morning, and the pearl divers were walking in groups of three or five towards the innermost house. The door there was open, and one could see at a glance that the opening of the Lower Yin Vein was located there.

Pearl divers are ordinary mountain people.

The ghost walkers and matchmakers who stayed here also got up early, and they were all in high spirits, looking around.

I guess he is waiting for the new shopkeeper Liu Bai to come.

Among this crowd, Liu Bai easily found the two Yin-nourishing gods and the Yin-walking people.

The shopkeeper Li Da and the supervisor Liao Kang.

The two of them stood at the front of the fence, some distance apart. Neither of them spoke to each other, but silently looked at the mountain path leading into the mountain.

Liu Bai's sudden appearance was quickly noticed by others, of course, mainly because of his appearance.

A strange young man suddenly appeared in the enclosure deep in the mountains and old forests. It was good enough that no one exclaimed "evil spirit".

"You...who are you?"

A matchmaker who was in charge of burning spirits bravely asked questions, but Liu Bai ignored him.

The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of Li Da and Liao Kang, and they turned around.

Seeing the young man suddenly appear behind him, Li Da's eyes tightened visibly.

He knew Liu Bai, so when he saw this monster, he naturally recognized it at a glance.

"Shopkeeper Liu's?"

As soon as Li Da opened his mouth to speak, Liao Kang had already driven away the matchmakers.

They were not stupid and they knew what was about to happen here, so they all crowded to the Yinmai entrance and escaped into the underground.

Seeing that this huge enclosure was soon empty.

Liu Bai then asked, "You want to kill me?"

Li Da saw that there was no one behind Liu Bai, and the situation had developed to this point.

Then there is naturally no need to hide anything anymore.

"I don't want to kill you." Li Da replied.

"Who is that?" Liu Bai asked again. Li Da replied, "The general trend is to kill you."

Liu Bai couldn't help laughing when he heard this lame remark: "Big trend? Are you worthy of being called big trend?"

Li Da said nothing more.

At this time, he had his back to the east and was facing the west, so the shadow was in front of him.

So…his shadow grew thicker.

The Yin Spirit is about to emerge at any time, and Liao Kang, who has never spoken a word, will also take action.

His Yin Spirit also emerged. Seeing this, Liu Bai finally smiled.

After walking all this way, I finally met the right person to start my own business with. How could I not be happy?
So... he lit the fire.

With three light blue flames visible to the naked eye on his shoulders, Li Da's face changed as soon as they appeared.

Of course, they had never seen it before, so they didn't know what kind of strange method Liu Bai used.

But it doesn't stop them from taking action.

After the two Yin Gods appeared, they did not rush forward. Two black shadows floated in the enclosure. Wherever they passed, little people crawled out from the ground.

These little people were all wearing bright red wedding clothes.

Each one of them is small and very cute, of course, if you ignore their pale little faces.

Judging from the situation, this should be the method used by matchmakers.

Liu Bai clasped his hands together and opened them again. The life fire had already burned throughout his body and he turned into a man of fire.

There seemed to be ghostly shadows all around, and gusts of cold wind.

Some of the villains couldn't hold back any longer and rushed forward, as if they wanted to bite Liu Bai in one bite.

But before they could get close, they were burned into a puff of black smoke by Liu Bai's life fire.

Seeing this, Li Da and the other man became even more frightened.

Seeing that they were urging the four little men to move forward, Liu Bai ignored them. The shadow behind him suddenly became thicker and stood up the next moment.

As soon as the ten-foot-tall Yin God appeared in the world, he immediately shattered the many villains.

As a result, the yin spirits of Li Da and the other man subconsciously retreated.

At this moment, when they were close to each other, their Yin Spirits were just vague black shadows, and even their human forms could not be seen. They were also very small, not even taller than the two of them.

But what about the Yin spirit that reflects Liu Bai?
He was about a meter tall, wearing a black robe with gold edges, and a ghost mask on his face.

Liu Bai stationed in front of him and just said two words lightly in his mind.

"Do it!"

Immediately, the Yin God behind him moved, passing by like the wind, and rushed in front of the two Yin Gods before they could even react.

Then Liu Bai's Yin Spirit held one in each hand and pinched their heads.

Liu Bai had not yet figured out how the Yin God performed his magic, so just when he was thinking about how to start.

His Yin Spirit took action on its own...

He clenched his left and right hands respectively, and then slapped their Yin Spirits hard on his chest.

With a "pop".

The two Yin spirits shattered into pieces.

It was so fast that even Liu Bai couldn't react.

After Li Da and the other man lost their Yin Spirits, their faces turned pale instantly, and they even spat out blood and fell to the ground.

"Just...that's it?"

In the haze of firelight, Liu Bai looked at his own Yin Spirit in surprise.

Is it that they are too weak, or is it that their Yin Spirit is too strong?
Liu Bai couldn't help but think of the time when he was condensing his Yin Spirit, and asked his mother about it, but Madam Liu couldn't explain it clearly.

At this time, Liu Bai's Yin Spirit stepped forward again and walked in front of Li Da and the others.

While looking around.

Li Da and Liao Kang also lost all their blood color. The five energies gathered together to form their Yin Spirits, which dispersed their Yin Spirits, just like dispersing the five energies in their hearts.

If a person who practices Yin has lost his five qi... then basically there is no need for him to practice Yin anymore.

So even if Liu Bai didn't take any more action at this moment, the two of them wouldn't live long.

Liu Bai didn't move, but Li Da's gaze fell on him. While he was desperate and sad, there was also a hint of... sarcasm in his eyes?
Liu Bai didn't know why he had such an expression, but he just listened to him and said:
"Don't be happy too soon, I'll be waiting for you downstairs."

After saying that, he let out a long howl of despair, but before he could finish, Liu Bai had already thrown out a small mountain.

When it was in his hand, the hill was only the size of a palm, but after he threw it out.

The hill had already become as tall as a person, and then it fell down and hit Li Da's body. With just this one hit, he was smashed into a pulp.

Yin gods kill Yin gods, Liu Bai kills the flesh.

"Old...old thing?"

Liao Kang, who was standing by, saw this and cried out in surprise.

But on second thought, I have never seen such a ferocious old thing.
Liu Bai raised his hand and took back the small cone, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart... Things from good brothers are always useful.

This small mountain cone was the incomplete treasure that he had snatched from the incense master of the funeral temple.

And this was the first time Liu Bai used it to fight an enemy.

The effect was also very good, because he clearly felt just now that Li Da wanted to run away, but after Liu Bai threw out the magic treasure, he could not run away.

Seeing him holding the small mountain cone in his hand, infusing it with life fire, and staring at the remaining Liao Kang, an old voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Leave him to me."

"Ok?"

Liu Bai looked back and saw the truth behind him. He saw an old man standing at the door of the last house.

He wore a conical hat and a straw raincoat, and looked like a fisherman, with his face full of wrinkles.

The exposed arms were also covered with age spots.

Similarly, he was also a Yin-nourishing God. Seeing this, Liu Bai had already guessed who he was.

"I am the matchmaker's man."

This old man Zhang is also outspoken.

After he said it, Liu Bai believed it.

So he withdrew his hand, and when he saw Old Zhang coming over, he picked up Liao Kang, who looked like a dead dog, and then returned to Liu Bai, holding one hand in front of him, bowed, and then said in a hoarse voice:

"I've met the shopkeeper."

Liu Bai nodded, took out another red lantern from Xumi and handed it over.

Old Zhang quickly threw Liao Kang to the ground, then dusted himself off, bent down, raised his hands, and took the lantern from Liu Bai.

After taking it with both hands, he looked up and explained: "I am old and can't stand it for too long. Someone has to take over my job."

After saying that, he looked down at Liao Kang and said, "He is quite suitable."

Liu Bai didn't quite understand what he was saying, so he just said "hmm". Then he saw him pick up Liao Kang again and go underground.

It was not until he left that Xiao Cao poked his head out and said, "Master, I was wondering why there was no major trouble with this Yin Meridian. It turns out there is a meridian guardian here."

"Pulse keeper? What pulse keeper?"

Liu Bai had never heard of this rule.

"Oh, young master, you don't know this. A pulse keeper is a pulse keeper. It's the same as a geological survey. A geological survey can find dragons and earth veins, but a pulse keeper can guard the Yin veins and prevent them from causing any big trouble."

Xiaocao was very proud that he could explain this to Liu Bai, "Don't think he's fine now, he's almost dead."

Liu Bai took another look at the place where Old Zhang had stepped, and indeed, there was a faint aura of death.

But he was too lazy to care about it. He turned around, and the Yin Spirit behind him returned to its place. He also looked at the mountain path he came from again.

Deep in the mountain path, the shadows of the trees are mottled.

"Sir, are you going to kill them?"

Liu Bai answered without thinking: "My Yin Shen has never taken off the mask, how can I not give it a try?"

Xiaocao shuddered subconsciously when he heard this.

"Then when the time comes, just let me know, and Xiaocao will definitely have to hide first."
