Volume 1 Chapter 52: Yin Evil

  Liu Yi Yang glanced at the little girl and his expression was filled with a hint of shock.

  The evil spirit will possess the body, and if it doesn't come out within seven days, it will surely die. This statement sounds very frightening, and Liu Yi Yang is very clear that Ouyang Xuan is different from those Jianghu scammers who deceive people every day, she is a real female Tian Shi, what she said is true.

  "What is yin evil?" Liu Yi Yang asked in a very low voice. Originally, the hot day had turned somewhat cool and refreshing at this moment.

  Ouyang Huan poured another glass of beer and said softly, "After a person dies, the yin energy gathers to form the soul, and the scattered spirit is called the ghost. Three souls condense into a body, seven ghosts gather into a spirit, and after three souls and seven ghosts are gathered, it becomes a complete soul and ghost, which can open the door of the underworld and receive the guiding light to enter the underworld. However, some people have deep resentment or strong unfulfilled wishes before they die, so their three souls and seven ghosts condense but do not gather, and their incomplete soul and ghost cannot enter the underworld, only wandering in the mortal world. This kind of soul and ghost has a strong yin energy and carries a strong evil spirit, so it is called yin evil!"

  Ouyang Xun explained very clearly, she knew Liu Yi Yang had not come into contact with these things yet.

  "So it's true, people really have three souls and seven spirits, it's not a lie!"

  Liu Yi Yang nodded slightly and also had a beer, which seemed to dispel the effects of the white wine he had drunk before, and he no longer felt dizzy at all.

  Moreover, this time he was not as afraid as when he encountered zombies last time. After being in contact with these things again, he became curious about everything here, and even felt a little excited, which made him feel somewhat unbelievable.

  "Don't bother with those things, they're all leftovers from our ancestors. If you have free time, it's better to take a look at the I Ching or the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which are far more impressive than those!"

  Ouyang Xun rolled her eyes, and the wine cup lightly touched Liu Yiyang's as she continued: "The name we call them is 'Yin Sha', just like a title. In the mortal world, they have another very common name - Ghost!"

  "Ghost?"

  Liu Yi Yang's hand suddenly shook and some beer spilled out unnaturally.

  The name "Yin Xie" sounds a bit better, although Ouyang Xun's explanation makes people feel eerie, but at least it feels a bit better. The name "Ghost" is quite frightening, everyone has been intimidated by adults since childhood, such as not listening to ghost stories and the like, ghosts have left a deep impression on everyone's heart.

  "You just mentioned yin evil possession, is she the legendary ghost possession? Or, is there a yin evil looking for a substitute corpse and found her?" Liu Yi Yang suddenly thought of something and asked hastily.

  "No, it's not that simple for a ghost to possess someone. She hasn't been possessed, but rather has a yin evil following her. Her body is attached with too much evil energy, which will take her life. And the rumor about finding a substitute ghost is just nonsense. Yin evil is born without a soul, so it's impossible for it to enter the underworld and find a substitute ghost."

  Ouyang Huan shook her head and said, looking back at the girl, "The yin evil has found her, it will exhaust her yang energy, kill her, and when she dies, it will absorb the yin energy she produces, thus increasing its own yin energy and enhancing its power!"

  "Your meaning is that after Yinyue kills her, she can increase her own power and use this method to cultivate again?"

  "It's roughly this meaning, but that's not all. Because of the loss of yin energy, the girl's three souls and seven spirits after death cannot condense, and will also become yin evil. Yin evil must have yin energy to survive, newly born yin evil can't harm people, it doesn't pose a threat, but if they find someone who is about to die soon, and absorb the yin energy produced by others after death, they can then grow stronger themselves. Once they gain power, they can come out and directly harm people. Therefore, as long as yin evil is discovered, it must be eliminated!"

  Ouyang Xuan spoke slowly, and Liu Yiyang basically understood what she said.

  Yin evil spirits can't harm people just by wanting to, they need a certain amount of power to do so. Weak and small yin evil spirits can't directly kill people by absorbing their yin energy, they can only wait beside those who are near death, waiting until they grow strong enough and have the power to come out and harm people.

  "So you're saying that hospitals have the most Yin energy?"

  After some thought, Liu Yi Yang asked in a low voice, if he had to say where the most people died, he would think of the hospital first. With so many patients coming and going every day, there were not a few deaths, and the yin energy there should be the strongest.

  Liu Yi Yang remembered reading some paranormal stories, many of which took place in hospitals, so he asked.

  Ouyang Huan looked up at him and shook her head again: "Many people die in hospitals, but after the hospital is built, there are always special people who open the light to protect the law, not allowing yin evil to approach. Unless it's a very powerful yin evil, otherwise no yin evil can enter inside. If not, wouldn't the hospital become a place where yin evil is produced in large quantities? The dead would not be able to rest in peace, and we would all be busy until death?"

  "So that's how it is!"

  Liu Yi Yang suddenly said, "OuYang Xuan is right. Hospitals are the places with the most deaths. If there were no restrictions, how could normal deceased people enter the underworld? They would all be destroyed by these yin evils."

  "Yin evil spirits also have weaknesses, they and zombies belong to yin, most afraid of yang energy, when there is a strong sun they absolutely cannot appear, once appeared will be directly burned to death by the sun, turned into ashes. Moreover, people with strong yang energy are also unable to get close to them, for people with strong yang energy are like a furnace to them, if they get close it's purely seeking their own death!"

  Ouyang Huan explained patiently, she completely regarded Liu Yi Yang as her own person, so she would be so meticulous.

  This is her future little brother, take this opportunity to educate him well.

  Ouyang Xuan forgot, Liu Yi Yang was a bit older than her, but it didn't matter, anyway the Eight Trigrams Sect wasn't very big and her grandfather was the head of the family, so she got to make the rules.

  "I see, so it seems our ancestors weren't entirely wrong after all!"

  Liu Yi Yang nodded heavily, although many stories passed down from ancient times to the present are fabricated, they're not all deceiving. At least many of the stories say that ghosts are afraid of sunlight, and Ou Yang Xuan's explanation completely proved this point.

  In that case, it's easier to understand. If the yin evil has no weaknesses and can continue to grow, wouldn't this world be filled with yin evil everywhere? How terrifying would that be?

  Drinking beer, eating barbecue, the two of them whispered to each other, occasionally glancing at the little girl. The little girl continued to mechanically serve the barbecue, her facial expression barely changing.

  Every time the little girl approached, Liu Yi Yang could see the black cloud spinning on her forehead, which was very terrifying.

  They sat like this, and before long, the two of them had drunk a whole bucket of beer and eaten up most of the dishes. After eating so much, they really couldn't eat any more, so they could only settle the bill and leave first.

  Once on the car, Ouyang Huan drove the car to one side and stared at the stall from a distance.

  Yin Xie is not around, to find this Yin Xie must track down the little girl, if you want to track her down, can only wait for them to pack up and go back.

  While in the car, Liu Yi Yang asked a very silly question.

  He asked Ouyang Huan why he didn't go up and tell the little girl the truth directly, then let her take them to find Yinyan and eliminate Yinyan to save her.

  After being asked this question, Ouyang Huan looked at him as if he was an idiot.

  Ouyang Huan's response was simple, and she just asked a question in return: Suppose two young people came running over to you late at night and said, "You've encountered a ghost, we're here to rescue you," how would you react?

  Her rhetorical question made Liu Yi Yang suddenly stunned, and then he smiled awkwardly.

  If someone said that to him, he would probably think those two people are crazy or scammers and wouldn't bother with them. If they dared to continue harassing him like this, he might even call the police directly.

  This is his reaction, and also many people's normal reaction.

  Understood, Liu Yi Yang stopped talking and waited quietly. This time was different from the last time they went to catch zombies. The zombies hadn't harmed anyone yet, they just wanted to eliminate them. But this evil spirit had already started harming people, so this time they were going to save people.

  A girl in her teens, in the prime of life, cannot be killed by this evil influence.

  Time slowly passed, and soon it was 2 am. The business of the barbecue stall that Liu Yi Yang and Ouyang Xuan were monitoring had dwindled a lot, and the little girl finally started packing up her things to leave.

  The little girl left alone, the stall hasn't been packed up yet, and now that there aren't so many people, they let her go back to rest first.

  She rode a small electric vehicle, slowly moving forward, and after more than ten minutes, she turned into a small alley, which should be where she lived.

  The alley was too small for cars to pass through, so Liu Yi Yang and Ouyang Xuan got out of the car and followed quickly behind.

  Two people jogged along the road, neither of them slow, just keeping pace with the electric vehicle behind. Along the way, the two did not make a sound, quietly following the young girl.

  This is a dimly lit alley, with most of the houses being old houses that look like they were built in the 60s or 70s.

  Such buildings are no longer common in coastal areas, and most of the residents are poor people. Some outsiders also like to rent such houses because they are cheap.

  The deeper Liu Yi Yang walked in, the more uncomfortable he felt inside, just like when he was searching for zombies last time.

  He was very clear that the gloomy bird should be nearby and wouldn't be too far away.

  Unfortunately, Yinyue didn't have a physical body like a zombie would, which would have produced a foul odor that he could have used to track her down.

  The little girl finally stopped at a courtyard, inside the courtyard was a two-story old small building. She pushed the electric bike in and casually closed the door.

  "Is the murderer among us?"

  Liu Yi Yang closely followed OuYang Xun's back, after experiencing the zombie incident he wasn't as afraid of these supernatural things anymore.

  Moreover, he was very clear about Ouyang Huan's abilities. Don't look at her young age, but her strength was not weak, otherwise Ouyang Ming would not have let her go out to execute tasks alone.

  According to her own account, she has performed no less than a hundred such exorcisms and is very experienced.

  "It should be around here, let me check!"

  Ouyang Xun also knew that Liu Yiyang couldn't directly find the location of the yin evil, so he took out the compass from his bag and looked at it carefully.

  "Abominable yin evil, it's not just one person who's been harmed, there's another in front of me, and he's almost been taken advantage of by it!"

  After a while, Ouyang Huan's face suddenly changed, and she shouted in hatred. After finishing speaking, she immediately put away the compass and walked quickly forward.
