Chapter 182 Will Not Let You Die 2

Ye Shaoyang grabbed a bottle of Qixing grass juice and passed it to Xiao Ma, “Spray it into your eyes and help me look for Xie Yuqing’s soul . ”

Xiao Ma said nothing and immediately sprayed it into his eyes . The duo ran west . When there was no road, Ye Shaoyang used his wooden sword to beat out a path . As for the pain when he ran barefoot, Ye Shaoyang ignored it .

They ran for quite some time until they found a mountain ahead of them . The mountain was very steep and almost impossible to climb . Xiao Ma pointed at it and said, “What do we do? Go around it?”

“Let’s get to the foot of it first,” Ye Shaoyang said .

However, he thought, This mountain is too steep . There’s no way anyone could climb it . If we went around the mountain it would waste too much time and by then maybe Xie Yuqing will have . . .

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past them . Ye Shaoyang stood still and smelled something .

He exclaimed, “I smell Spirit Qi . I think it’s just in front!”

Immediately, Ye Shaoyang used Maoshan Qinggong and ran toward the source of the scent . When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, something appeared on the left side of his vision . Two shadowy figures seemed to be walking among the trees .

Ye Shaoyang looked toward them and saw that they were two humanoid figures . There wa one in front with the other behind it . The one in front was very tall and had a black body . The one behind had a police uniform and a slim body .

It must be Xie Yuqing!

“That should be Officer Xie, right? Good thing we found her,” Xia Ma panted as he finally caught up .

Ye Shaoyang, however, was not that happy . If Xie Yuqing had been captured by some evil spirit, then Ye Shaoyang would not have a problem saving her . However, it seemed that the shadowy figure in front was a Spirit Commissioner . It was a great offense to hinder their work .

Ye Shaoyang pulled Xiao Ma close and told him, “I can’t attack the commissioner first, so I want you to go in front of it and mock it . Try to make it angry and attack you . By then I’ll have a reason to fight it . If we’re to save Xie Yuqing, it all will depend on if you’re able to get it to attack you . ”

Xiao Ma was, of course, terrified; he frowned and asked, “Little Ye, are you sure about this? I mean a Spirit Commissioner is pretty powerful, right? What if he takes my soul too?”

Ye Shaoyang replied, “Don’t worry . It is still a Spirit Commissioner . If your time has not yet come, it will not do anything to you, but if it attacks you, then I’ll kill it!”

“Fine! I’ll do what I can!” Xiao Ma bit his lip in determination and walked towards the figure . Ye Shaoyang pulled him back at the last moment and asked him to wait as he prepared something . He picked two branches and tied it into a cross .

With some cinnabar ink, he drew three lines on one end of the stick that represented the eyes and mouth .

Ye Shaoyang looked up, saw that they were still quite close, so he quickly wrote a talisman paper with the name and date of birth of Xie Yuqing . He tied the talisman paper to the cross and told Xiao Ma, “If a fight does break out, listen to my commands . Then bite your tongue and use your blood, and chant to activate this ‘doll’ . This will temporarily hold Xie Yuqing’s soul . ”

Xiao Ma asked, “The blood from my tongue will work too?”

“The blood from anyone’s tongue will do; the important thing is the incantation . You’ve been working on the Hellfire incantation, right? Well, this is quite similar to that . You can handle it, right?”

Xiao Ma was shocked, “Well, I wasn’t successful every time, maybe three out of five times . What if I fail--”

“There’s no what if . ” Ye Shaoyang stared at him and said, “There’s only one try . If you fail, Xie Yuqing is done for . ”

“What do you mean?”

“Her soul will be broken, and not even a god could save her at that point . ”

Cold sweat appeared on Xiao Ma’s forehead, he gulped and said, “This is too important . Why don’t you do it yourself?”

“Then, I’ll go get her soul, and you’ll fight?”

“Erm…” Xiao Ma had no choice, but he still felt the immense pressure on him .

Ye Shaoyang taught him the incantation, gave his shoulder a tap and ran toward the two figures .

As he got close he yelled, “Greetings great official, may you have all the wealth . ”

Transporting souls was an important task tantamount to armed police trucks that transported money . No one could stop it from doing its task . If it were something really important, then the person interrupting had to say the special sentence in order to reveal that they were a sorcerer .

The tall black shadow stopped and turned around .

Ye Shaoyang looked at it . The Spirit Commissioner was really tall with very dark skin and a black cloak . Its ears were long and thin, and its forehead was wide . Below its forehead sat very round eyes .

Ye Shaoyang noticed that there were three stripes on the front of its cloak, which represented its rank . Three stripes meant that it was not some low-level commissioner .

A rope made out of straw hung from its waist and the other end was tied around Xie Yuqing’s hands . Since her three mortal lamps were blown out, she was unaware of what was going on like someone with amnesia .

Ye Shaoyang let out a sigh and said, “I’m a Maoshan Heavenly Master, Ye Shaoyang . Greetings, Commissioner . ”

The Spirit Commissioner’s mouth did not move . However, a deep voice came from its belly, “There are no stops on the way to the underworld . Do you have some business?”

Normally, Spirit Commissioners would not open their mouths to speak so they could prevent the absorption of Yang Qi . Yang Qi was considered impure by Spirit Commissioners . If any entered them, they would need to excrete it out .

Ye Shaoyang pointed at Xie Yuqing and said, “This is my friend who has died of unknown causes . I’ve come to ask how she has died?”

The commissioner replied, “Why do you need to know?”

“Well, if her time has not yet come, then I would ask for you to do me a favor and let me bring her back . ”

The commissioner let out a humph and said, “Well, I’m terribly sorry . This woman was killed in an accident, and her time has come . This is her faith, so pardon me . ”

It turned and walked away .

“Wait!” Ye Shaoyang ran up, cut him off and threw a talisman paper at Xie Yuqing . Immediately, her three mortal lamps lit .

Xie Yuqing came to her senses . When she looked up and saw Ye Shaoyang, she yelled joyfully, “Come save me, little trickster!”
