Capítulo 6

Before long, Old Man Gu quickly lit a pile of firewood.

If it were any other time, during a picnic gathering with classmates, a bonfire would have been lit, and everyone would have been excitedly laughing and shouting. But now, as they looked at the blazing firewood in front of them, everyone felt a heavy weight pressing down on them.

The fire warmed their bodies, but it couldn't ward off the unease and chill in their hearts. It was almost midnight, and the two people from Guhua Town who had gone out with Old Man Gu still hadn't returned. Old Man Gu, however, showed no concern for their safety, leisurely puffing on his pipe. His nonchalant expression cast a heavy shadow over Ye Feng and the others.

Who exactly is this old man? And what kind of night will they spend tonight? "You've come!" Lightning said with a mocking expression.

He couldn't understand why his master, knowing Feng Xing and Yun Piao had betrayed him, hadn't taken any action against them yet. Instead, he was allowing him to continue joining them. He really didn't know what his master was up to.

"Yes!" Feng Xing replied coldly, "My master said we should not act rashly and should wait until midnight on the fourteenth of July!"

"Hmph!" Lightning responded heavily with a nasal tone.

"Is the Spirit Pearl still on that kid?"

"So what if it is? Can you even take it?" Lightning said provocatively, his eyes full of disdain.

Ignoring Dian Shan's provocative tone, Feng Xing turned to Yun Piao and said, "Let's go!"

Lightning watched Windwalker and Cloud Drifter disappear into the distance, his eyes burning with rage, and he thought bitterly: One day, I will show you what I'm capable of.

The night was deep, and the burning fire had gradually died down, leaving only a few pieces of charcoal that were not fully burned, still faintly glowing a dark red in the darkness. The chill of the night quietly permeated the surroundings.

The hall was quiet. After a long day of hard work, everyone was overcome with weariness and began to drift off to sleep. Eager to meet with the Lord of Dreams, they temporarily cast aside the fears and anxieties of the day.

The bag throbbed nervously, and the little rabbit darted out gently. It stared at its big, blood-red eyes, looking around warily. After lying still for a while, it leaped forward and quickly darted out of the house.

"Blood Rabbit, how's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

"Reporting to Lord Fengxing, I have investigated and found that Ling Bing is an extremely Yang person in terms of her birth chart, while Yu Xue is an extremely Yin person in terms of her birth chart."

"Great, well done! Haha, this is heaven's help!"

Feng Xing gently waved his sleeve.

The white-clad woman with blood-red eyes, kneeling on the ground, slowly turned into a pool of blood, then disappeared into the vast night fog, leaving nothing behind.

"Feng Xing, what method do you plan to use to deal with the master?" Yun Piao asked anxiously.

"Everything is ready, except for the east wind! I just need to seize the Spirit Pearl!" Feng Xing grinned smugly.

Legend has it that the Spirit Pearl emits a scorching red light whenever it encounters demons or monsters. Therefore, this sacred object for subduing demons and monsters is feared by all, and they flee at the mere sight of it. Feng Xing is merely a white-browed tiger that has cultivated for two thousand years, inherently incompatible with it, and completely powerless to control its spirituality. Yet now Feng Xing intends to use this incompatible object against his master—isn't this courting death? He might even die before he can defeat his master! Thinking of this, Yun Piao couldn't help but feel terrified.

"That spirit pearl emits a red light and unleashes its powerful spiritual energy as soon as we get close. Don't you know it's an object for subduing demons and monsters?"

"Hmph, how could I not know?" Feng Xing sneered.

"Then why are you using this spirit pearl against your master? Aren't you afraid it will hurt you?"

"Ha ha……"

At that moment, Fengxing explained to Yunpiao what he had heard in Maoshan Temple.

That day, his master sent him to Maoshan to check on any recent developments of the Maoshan Taoist sect.

That day, he secretly sneaked into the temple.

Just then, I happened to see an old Taoist priest saying goodbye to a young disciple:

"You must be careful when you go down the mountain this time. Assist your junior brother in subduing demons and monsters, and do not act rashly."

"Master, rest assured, your disciple has kept it in mind!"

"There is one more thing I need to tell you. You must remember this and warn your junior brother to be careful when he does things!"

"Is there anything else, Master? Please speak!"

"Although the spirit orb possesses a certain degree of spirituality and can resist four types of monsters, ghosts, demons, and monsters, there is a method that can also allow monsters, ghosts, demons, and monsters to control the spirit orb and use it for their own purposes."

"What method, Master?"

"This is exactly the method I'm worried about. Midnight to dawn on the fourteenth of July is the most yin time, and also the time when the spirit pearl's spiritual power is weakest. If a demon drinks the blood of a person with an extremely yang birth chart and a person with an extremely yin birth chart, and then consumes this spirit pearl, then that demon can control the spirit pearl and master its spiritual power. So you must remember, never let your junior brother fall into the hands of demons. If they find people with extremely yin and extremely yang and drink their blood, it will be a catastrophe for humanity, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if the patriarch were alive, he would be powerless to save humanity. So you must never let this pearl and this method fall into the hands of demons, remember this!"

"So, it turns out we can control that spirit pearl too!" Yun Piao said happily.

"Yes! So, I will use this spirit pearl to deal with my master."

"Have you found the person with the extreme yin and the person with the extreme yang?"

"I've had the Blood Rabbit investigate and found out that Ling Bing is the most Yang person, while Yu Xue is the most Yin person. When the spiritual power of the pearl is at its weakest at midnight on the 14th of July, I will eat the pearl, and that will be the moment I complete my mission!"

"Does Master know the secret of this spirit pearl?"

"I doubt he knows. If he did, would he still have brought the Lord back to life? Haha..."

Yun Piao gazed at Feng Xing with a somber expression, her heart filled with a mixture of joy and sorrow. Was this the result she, Yun Piao, had desired after a thousand years of cultivation?

The next morning, the sky had begun to clear. The sunlight, carrying a golden warmth, shone upon the earth. The surrounding mountains appeared exceptionally verdant and majestic.

Last night passed peacefully, which relieved Ye Feng and the others. They figured the mystery of the mansion was just a legend. Everyone felt much lighter, and their tired faces began to lighten with bright smiles.

Zheng Qichao looked around, then frowned and pondered.

"What's wrong, Zheng Qi?" Ye Feng asked softly.

"Those two people from Guhua Town haven't returned all night!" Ye Feng bit his lip and remained silent. He had thought of this question before, but seeing everyone in such a good mood, he didn't want to bring it up. Now that Zheng Qi had asked, it seemed he couldn't avoid it. He should go ask Uncle Gu.

"Uncle, why haven't those two people from your town returned yet? Should we go check on them?"

"No need, they must have gone back tonight!" Old Gu was taking out the black, hard tobacco leaves from his pipe and putting them into his old pipe when he heard Ye Feng's question. He didn't even look up and said indifferently.

Seeing the old man's indifferent expression, Ye Feng realized he couldn't say anything. He turned to Zheng Qi and relayed the old man's answer. Zheng Qi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let him be. We'd better hurry back!" Ye Feng nodded.

"Hey, where's my little bunny?" Yu Xue exclaimed in surprise. As she yelled, she turned her bag inside out.

"Yu Xue, what's wrong?" Meng'er asked hurriedly.

"My little bunny is missing! It was in my bag last night!"

"Hehe, the little rabbit must be homesick and went back first!" Cheng Jin joked.

"Haha..." everyone laughed.

"Forget it, Yu Xue, it's just a little rabbit. Let it go. We should hurry back!"

Ling Bing advised from the side. Upon hearing this, everyone felt that the most urgent thing was to leave the place immediately; every second they stayed in this mansion increased the danger. Why risk their lives just to find a little rabbit? So they all urged Yu Xue to let it go; it's just a little rabbit, after all. Ling Bing even promised to buy her a litter of rabbits when they returned to the city, so she could raise them to her heart's content.

Yu Xue felt a little unwilling. She had originally wanted everyone to help her look for it, thinking maybe it was hiding in some corner playing hide-and-seek with her. But seeing that everyone wanted to leave this awful place as soon as possible, she had no choice but to accept the fact that the rabbit had run away. In any case, she also hoped to leave this place as soon as possible.

The crowd quieted down, straightened their clothes, and prepared to leave.

"Landslide, that road is blocked!"

Old Gu sat by the door of the hall, squinting at the small insects flying around in the grass of the garden, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke as he spoke.

Everyone was stunned.

"Zheng Qi, what should we do now?"

Ye Feng frowned and looked at Zheng Qi with a pleading expression. Zheng Qi was the only person he could discuss a solution with now.

"Mo Han and I will go to Nanshan now. You should try to calm everyone down and not panic. We'll discuss everything when Mo Han and I get back," Zheng Qibing said calmly.

Now that things had come to this, Ye Feng had no other choice but to nod and say, "Then be careful!"

Zheng Qi and Mo Han walked away coldly from in front of Uncle Gu.

In the sunlight, a hint of cruelty flickered in the old man's squinting, cloudy eyes, and a cold smile slowly rose from the corner of his mouth.

"Who exactly are you!" Stepping out of the house and seeing no one following him, Zheng Qi stood up and asked Mo Han.

Mo smiled but did not answer, continuing to walk forward.

"'When the Spirit Pearl appears in the world, all demons go mad. Those who destroy the demons and quell the chaos will be the Northern Qi and the Southern Han!' How do you know this saying?"

Zheng Qi caught up with him and continued to press for answers.

Mo Han turned around, smiled, and said:

"That's what my master told me!"

"Your master?" Zheng Qi asked, full of suspicion.

"Yes, my master. Didn't your master tell you that?"

Zheng Qi hesitated for a moment and said:

"My master mentioned something to me before he left! But he didn't say what it meant!" "Hehe, if we're talking about seniority, you should call me senior brother!" Mo Han said with a smile to Zheng Qi.

"Senior brother? Then who are you?" Zheng Qi asked in surprise.

“My master is the Jade Purity True Man of the Maoshan Taoist sect, who is also the senior brother of your master, the Supreme Purity True Man. So, following this line of succession, wouldn’t I be your senior brother?”

"So it's Senior Brother Mo Han! It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple; we're family now, but we don't recognize each other. Junior Brother Zheng Qi, please forgive me if I've offended you in the past!"

Zheng Qi, as if waking from a dream, clasped his hands and bowed to Mo Han.

"Junior brother, you are too kind. My master sent me down the mountain to assist you in subduing demons and monsters, so as to uphold the prestige of the righteous sect."

"So that's how it is. No wonder Master said that someone would definitely help me in the future. It turns out it was you, Senior Brother!"

Zheng Qi excitedly punched Mo Han.

"Junior brother, you flatter me. My master said that to eliminate this demon, we still need to rely on the power of the spiritual pearl you carry!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Han said to Zheng Qi:

"Junior brother, may I see your sacred artifact for subduing demons and monsters?"

Looking at Mo Han's eager and expectant gaze, Zheng Qi took out a magic bag from his chest and took out a bead from the bag.

The bead was about the size of a longan, crystal clear, round and lustrous—truly a rare treasure.

“Whenever it encounters demons or monsters, this bead will emit a scorching red light. Since arriving in Guhua Town, this bead has emitted a red light as a warning three times, and each time I have used the Heart Sutra to suppress its spiritual power. After entering the mansion, its spiritual power has become stronger and stronger.” Zheng Qi sighed softly.

"I have heard my master mention the origin and spirituality of this bead. By the way, junior brother, my master has something else for me to tell you, and we must both keep it in mind and never be careless."

"Is there anything else you need, Uncle-Master?" Zheng Qi asked, puzzled.

Mo Han then gave a detailed explanation of what his master had told him before he left, about how the bead could be controlled by demons and monsters.

"I never imagined this pearl had such a weakness; my master never mentioned it!"

"Therefore, your master must tell you to be careful and never let this bead and this method fall into the hands of demons and monsters."

"Senior Brother Mo Han, rest assured, I have kept Uncle's words in mind! I believe that those who possess extreme Yin and extreme Yang will be extremely difficult to find!"

"Junior brother, though that may be true, it's best if we both be careful!" Mo Han earnestly advised.
