Chapter 7: The Divine Artifact Yu Xiao

  Chapter 7: The Divine Artifact 'Jade Soul'

  Ouyang Xuan held the ancient jade and carefully examined it for half a day, some of them exclaimed: "It looks like this piece of ancient jade is quite old, and the ancient flower pattern on it doesn't know what it means, but it's indeed priceless! However, it's strange that something that has been missing for over 1,800 years would end up in Yang Lihua's hands!"

  "There's nothing strange about it!" Liu Jun shook his head and said, "This Zhang Fang has multiple gangs of cultural relic smugglers and tomb raiders under his control. I reckon this ancient jade was also unintentionally obtained by Zhang Fang, who didn't know its origin and casually gave it to his mistress Yang Lihua as a gift!"

  "It should be about that!" Zhang Lin nodded and inferred: "I think the situation is probably like this: After Yang Lihua died, this 'Yu Xiao' ancient jade was buried with her. But for some reason, the seal on this ancient jade suddenly lost its effect and released the evil spirit that had been sealed for over 1,800 years! And when the female ghost just came out of the ancient jade, she only had three souls and seven spirits, making her extremely weak and having little attacking power against humans.

  If the ghostly spirit doesn't find a Yin body to attach itself to within a short period of time, no matter how strong its magical powers are, it will dissipate into nothingness. Therefore, it just so happened that it attached itself to Yang Lihua's newly formed Yin body and devoured her three souls and seven spirits, this is what is known as 'ghost on top of ghost'. Furthermore, due to the influence of Yang Lihua's Yin body's resentment and consideration for regaining its strength, this female ghostly spirit then began a massacre against the Tianlong Sect!

  "Hmm!" Ouyang Xuan nodded in agreement, "Judging from the tone of the female ghost's words, it should be like this! But I'm a bit puzzled, why did the seal on this 'Yu Xiao' ancient jade suddenly lose its effect and release such a terrifying evil spirit?"

  Everyone was watching Zhang Lin, waiting for his response.

  "Generally speaking, the failure of the seal is due to one of two reasons: One, after a thousand eight hundred years, the seal that Zhang Daoling placed on 'Yu Xiao' has lost its effectiveness and was broken by the female ghost Li Zhu. Two, external forces invaded the ancient jade's seal, destroying Zhang Daoling's seal and releasing the female ghost Li Zhu. I think it is likely the first one."

  However, if Yang Lihua's birthday is the same as that of the female ghost Li Zhu, then Yang Lihua's yin body after death may resonate with Li Zhu in the "Yu Pao" and rapidly increase her energy to break through the "Yu Pao". Moreover, since they share the same birthdate, Yang Lihua's yin body is likely the best tool for Li Zhu's rebirth and cultivation. This is also very possible, but there is no way to verify it!

  Director Su and others were shocked, for a moment it was really hard to digest this unbelievable information!

  "Oh, I see!" Ou Yang Xuan scratched his head and hesitated: "No need to investigate how this female ghost escaped, she's already out. We just need to think of a way to eliminate her quickly, or else there will be endless troubles!"

  Zhang Lin took the 'Yu Xiao' ancient jade from Ouyang Xuan's hand and examined it for a moment, saying: "According to common sense, once a 'ghost' loses its yin body and becomes a state of nothingness with three souls and seven spirits, no weapon or talisman can harm it. It's like trying to use a knife to chop something that is 'nothing', but having no effect at all. But normally, when an ordinary 'ghost' loses its yin body, its three souls and seven spirits will automatically disappear within a short period of time, because the cultivation of these 'ghosts' is far from reaching the level of being able to seize the yin body of other 'ghosts'.

  But the ghostly demon bead is different, I estimate that with her strong demonic power, even in a state of only three souls and seven spirits, she can still survive for twelve hours. Within these twelve hours, it's completely possible to escape far away and find another excellent yin body to possess. So after Zhang Tian Shi shattered the ghostly demon bead's yin body, in order to prevent the ghostly demon bead's three souls and seven spirits from escaping and attaching themselves to another yin body to harm people again, he then collected it into the 'Jade Spirit' to slowly refine it!

  It can be seen from this that Gui Yao Li Zhen is a formidable opponent, and even Zhang Daoling Tian Shi found it difficult to completely eliminate her!

  "Ouyang, your fire is quite unusual, it seems to be a natural nemesis of the demon and ghost type, but it can only hurt Lizi, not destroy her! Is that right?"

  "Yes, I hit her with Linghuo twice, but she escaped both times by transforming!" Ouyang Xuan said somewhat dejectedly.

  "It seems that with our abilities, it's unlikely to completely kill the Li Zhu, but we can use this 'Yu Shuai' ancient jade to seal the three souls and seven spirits of the ghostly Li Zhu once again!" Zhang Lin suddenly said.

  "This," Ouyang Xuan was somewhat stunned: "This 'Yu Pinyin' ancient jade, although legend has it that it is a divine artifact left by Laozi, but it seems we won't be able to use it!"

  "Hmm, this is a tough one!" Zhang Lin was also stunned, holding the ancient jade and examining it carefully.

  "Alright!" Zhang Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at the crowd, saying: "I'll give it a try, but don't be afraid when you see something strange later!"

  Director Su and others looked at each other, nodded slightly with some unease in their hearts.

  "Tianyan open!" Zhang Lin whispered a sentence, and the skin on his forehead suddenly cracked open, revealing an inverted golden eye!

  Immediately afterwards, this inverted golden eye shot out a golden light beam, shining on this ancient 'Jade Spirit'!

  “Bang...” The ancient jade didn't react at all, but Deputy Director Zhao was shocked to the point of turning pale and fell over; Directors Su and Li's faces changed drastically, with a stunned expression; even Liu Jun, who had been through many battles, looked shocked, with an unbelievable look on his face!

  "Alas, it's no use!" Zhang Lin shook his head helplessly, but suddenly saw the flustered expressions of several leaders from the Public Security Bureau, and smiled: "Sorry, I scared you all!" His eyes blinked for a moment before closing shut.

  "It's nothing, it's nothing!" Director Su and Deputy Director Li trembled as they raised the teacups in front of them, covering up by taking a sip of tea.

  Deputy Director Zhao hastily scrambled to his feet, looking at Zhang Lin with a gaze as if he had seen a ghost.

  "Hehe, don't be afraid!" Ouyang Xuan, who was as bold as a cow, laughed: "This is Zhang Ge's special ability - Ghost Eye! It's specially used to deal with those evil spirits and monsters!"

  The crowd was finally slightly relieved, but still didn't dare look at Zhang Lin for a while.

  Zhang Lin smiled bitterly and handed the ancient jade to Ouyang Xuan: "Ouyang, you try it out, can you activate this ancient jade?"

  Ouyang Xuan only knew how to play with fire, what did he understand? He looked at it for half a day and couldn't see any door. But thinking that such a divine instrument should not be afraid of fire, he placed the ancient jade in the palm of his right hand and shouted: "Fire, come!"

  "Peng——!" A fierce and intense Samadhi True Fire erupted from Ouyang Xuan's hands, enveloping the small ancient jade.

  Director Su and others were stunned again, fortunately they already knew that Ouyang Xuan was playing with fire, so they didn't get scared again!

  "It's useless!?" Amidst the fierce flames, Gu Yu seemed to be motionless, and Ouyang Xuan was about to lose hope when suddenly Gu Yu burst forth with a white auspicious light, slowly rising from the flames and floating in mid-air.

  "Ding dong......" A beautiful, ancient music came out of the ancient jade, and a string of peculiar symbols floated out of the myriad auspicious lights, flying around the room in all directions, as if searching for something!

  "Great, Ouyang! It's a success! This is the Demon-Sealing Talisman, specifically used to capture evil spirits!" Zhang Lin's face was filled with wild joy and excitement.

  "What a relief!" Ouyang Xuan let out a sigh of relief, gazed at the ancient jade in mid-air with its radiant colors, and suddenly withdrew the spiritual fire from his palm.

  "Plop!" The ancient jade Gu Yu lost its spiritual support and fell silently into Ouyang Xuan's palm, losing its dazzling brilliance!

  Look at Director Su and others again, they were shocked, their eyes wide with amazement, and they hadn't come back to their senses yet!

  For ordinary people, the strange things they have experienced recently are far beyond their psychological defense line.

  "Cough, cough!" Ouyang Xuan deliberately coughed twice and smiled: "I can control this ancient jade, it's good news, the Ghost Jade Pearl's good days are coming to an end! So, you, SZ City Public Security Bureau, will be in charge of handling the aftermath of the Tianlong Gang, while Zhang Ge and I will take care of sealing away that damned Ghost Jade. Any objections?"

  Director Su and others finally came back to their senses, with a face full of reverence, saying: "No, no! We will definitely cooperate!"

  "Alright, trouble the municipal bureau to prepare two high-powered off-road motorcycles for us!" Ou Yang Xuan suddenly thought of something and added: "Also prepare some yellow paper, brushes and cinnabar, who knows when we might need them!"

  "Alright, I'll go and handle it!" Liu Jun hastily nodded: "It's all up to you guys now!"

  Ouyang Xuan and Zhang Lin looked at each other and nodded.
