Spirit Hunters of Maoshan Sect

Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Blood Tra

Chapter 175 Blood Transfer

Xiao Ma replied, “If it is a fight, then a fight it is . I’m sure you can defeat it . ”

“Why don’t you do it if you think you can? I’m really not that confident . ” Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes, “Maoshan sorcery is mainly used to fight spirits and devils . Gu are created by humans . Using Maoshan sorcery against it will not be as efficient . That is why even I fell for it the last time--”

Before he finished explaining, Xiao Ma pulled Ye Shaoyang aside and whispered to his ear, “Why did you say that out loud? What if the creature heard you?”

Ye Shaoyang shook his head and facepalmed, “You think too much . If the creature had human intelligence and could understand us, we would have gone extinct long ago . ”

Xiao Ma asked, “Then, how did it know to hide from you?”

“That’s basic instinct . Even if you were chasing a pig, the pig would try to avoid you . ”

Xiao Ma rubbed the sweat on his forehead, “What kind of metaphor is that? Why would a pig avoid me?”

“Given your size, even a pig would feel intimidated . ”

“Hey! That is not nice, and I can’t believe you can still joke in this situation!” Xiao Ma yelled unhappily .

Ye Shaoyang ignored Xiao Ma and stared down at the woman . Indeed, he felt like both his hands were tied . He tried to recall each and every trick and piece of information he knew about dealing with this kind of creature . Soon, he connected the dots and came up with a brilliant idea .

He turned to Li Laoxing,

“Please find out this lady’s birthday . Then, find a girl with the same birthday as her and bring the girl here . Lastly, bring me a big bucket of oil . ”

Li Laoxing nodded, “How big?”

“A bucket which can hold around fifty kilograms of water . ”

“So you mean fifty kilograms of oil!” Li Laoxing was baffled .

“That’s right . Fifty kilograms of oil and fifty kilograms of honey, deliver it here as soon as possible . ”

Ye Shaoyang calmly smiled, “Don’t be stingy on this . You could abandon the dam and the water spirit could not get onto the land, but this is different . With this creature inside this woman’s stomach, anything could happen . ”

“Yes, I understand,” Li Laoxing dispatched a village council to get the matter done .

While the rest of the group stood and waited, Xiao Ma could not help but ask, “Why do we need oil and honey?”

“From what I was taught, honey and oil are liquids that have very different characteristics than water . Spirits can’t move in these liquids . Bodies soaked in these liquids can not be infested by Gu . For now, this is our best chance, and it is better than sitting here and doing nothing . I’ll seal the creature in the woman’s body so it cannot escape . That will make things easier for us . ”

Xiao Ma nodded, “Then what do you need the girl with the same birthday as this woman for?”

Ye Shaoyang replied with only two words, “Blood transfusion . ”

In less than half an hour, the oil and honey that Ye Shaoyang requested arrived in two separate big wooden buckets . Ye Shaoyang could not believe his eyes when he saw the girl that they found . She was none other than Wu Mei, the girl who had also served them at the guesthouse . What were the odds!

“Brother Shaoyang, anything I can help you with?” Wu Mei had no idea why she was brought here .

“Urgh… Why don’t you stay aside for now? I’ll need your help soon . ”

Ye Shaoyang instructed her to stay aside, and he gestured a few men to come help him with his next move . Together, they poured the oil and honey onto the woman’s body . The area was immediately filled with a fragrant smell . The woman looked as though she was covered in amber, and her face looked even livelier than ever .

As soon as the men were done with that, the woman’s family arrived . They cried at the top of their lungs . They were devastated by what they saw . The village council members, led by Li Laoxing, tried their best to console the family . Li Laoxing took the opportunity to explain to them that the woman was now an undead, so she could only be buried after rituals were performed by a sorcerer .

The villagers believed what they heard, and nobody objected . They quietly stayed aside and watched while Ye Shaoyang continued with his work .

Coincidentally, Old Guo also called . He reached the village just in time and asked for directions to Ye Shaoyang’s location . Li Laoxing dispatched two men to guide Old Guo .

Xiao Ma also took the opportunity to ask Ye Shaoyang about the blood transfusion out of curiosity .

Wu Mei agreed, “Yes . Brother Shaoyang, tell me about it . I need to be prepared too . Even if I have to die, I need to know the reason . ”

“Don’t worry; this won’t kill you,” Ye Shaoyang explained his plan while staring at the woman soaked in oil and honey . “Like I mentioned just now, there is something in the woman’s stomach protecting the Gu . That is why it chose to hide inside the stomach and won’t come out . I dare not force it out of the body, or it might escape into another human’s body . That would be horrible .

“Gu live off human flesh and blood and inside a human’s body . Sister, since you share the same birthday as this woman, you both are considered people of the same fate . In some ways, your blood is similar to hers . I am going to bet on this and transfuse a little of your blood into the woman’s body . Once the Gu tastes your blood, it will think that you are the next suitable host for it .

“Then, I am going to use my sorcery to suppress the woman’s body and make it feel uncomfortable . This will force it out of the body in search of its next host, which will be you . Get it?”

Wu Mei nodded, and she asked in a shaky voice, “What will happen if it gets into my body?”

“You are just the bait . I have done so much preparation that if it is still able to get into your body in the end, then I should not even be a sorcerer . ”

Before long, Old Guo arrived . Ye Shaoyang led him to the woman’s body and explained the story in detail as well as his plan . Old Guo stared at the woman and then at Wu Mei .

He nodded, “This plan should work . However, it comes with risks . We need a sorcerer here to deliver the creature and another sorcerer down the hill to catch . That would be better . ”

Ye Shaoyang nodded as he looked at Old Guo, “Yup . You are right . That is why I wanted you to come . You will deliver, and I will catch . ”

“I knew it . Whenever you find me, it is always trouble . ”

Old Guo wiped away the sweat on his forehead . Then, his eyes suddenly widened when he a tael appeared in front of him . He excitedly looked up at Ye Shaoyang who held the tael .

“Junior Brother looks like you are filthy rich now! You are giving away gold instead of cash!”

“Stop licking my boots . Get yourself ready . I will start ahead and initiate the blood transfusion . ”

Ye Shaoyang went over to the hole . He squatted down and picked up the woman’s arm from the pool of oil and honey . Using his knuckle, the suppressed the blood veins to prevent the creature from escaping .

“Sister Wu Mei, let’s get started . ”

Ye Shaoyang gestured Wu Mei to come closer and made her lie on the ground beside the hole face up . He grabbed her right hand .

“I’ll start now . ”

“Brother Shaoyang, wait . ”

Wu Mei reached into her pocket and took out a piece of chocolate that Zhou Jingru gave to her . Wu Mei chewed the chocolate .

“Okay . Now that I have eaten the best chocolate ever, it is okay to die . ”

Everyone was tickled by this . Ye Shaoyang smiled as he teased Wu Mei, “Not only will you survive this, you will even earn some virtue for second life . Who knows, karma might even repay you with a handsome husband . ”

Wu Mei’s expression brightened, “Really? Someone as handsome as Brother Shaoyang?”

This caught Ye Shaoyang by surprise . He could immediately feel his face turning red . He let out a cough and tried to act natural, but this did not go unnoticed by Wu Mei .

She burst into laughter, “Brother Shaoyang, are you blushing?”

“No . I am not . ”

Ye Shaoyang was so embarrassed, he felt like slapping her .

Xiao Ma was entertained by such a scene, “Am I imagining things? Little Ye is the one usually flirting and making girls blush, but the role is reversed now!”

Old Guo laughed, “What do you know? This is the circle of life . ”

“Stop talking nonsense and get to work!” Ye Shaoyang yelled .

Then, he noticed that they were staring at him because he was the only one who was supposed to get to work .

Damn, getting embarrassed like this really decreases my IQ!
