Dahuang struggled, but the weasel bit him on the neck. Xie Lingya, regaining consciousness, grabbed his shoe and smacked him. “Go to hell!”
Xie Lingya struck the weasel in the face several times, knocking it away and tugging on its tail.
Pheasant crowed and fluttered, but with the rope tied to its feet, it couldn’t fly far.
Dahuang escaped the weasel’s jaws, bleeding from its neck, but not wounded fatally. Xie Lingya bent down and scooped up the two chickens.
The weasel lay on the ground, baring its teeth arrogantly at Xie Lingya and making threatening noises. It was a bit battered from the blows he’d struck. Humans were incredibly strong, and the base of its tail must still be hurting.
Just then, Hai Guanchao and Fang Zhe hurried in in their pajamas, shivering with cold as they crossed their arms. “What the hell? What’s going on?”
“Be careful,” Xie Lingya said, staring into the weasel’s eyes. The weasel looked somewhat intelligent, its small eyes gazing intently at Xie Lingya, as if trying to confuse him, but Xie Lingya remained unmoved. At this level, it couldn’t even compare to the evil Buddha of the Hongyang Dao. After a moment, the weasel moved, turning and darting away, escaping.
Xie Lingya ran to the window and saw it had been pried open by this creature. Really clever! Weasels are psychic, known as Huang Daxian in the folk tales, and possessed a strong sense of revenge.
This was the second time Xie Lingya had seen a slightly psychic animal; the last time was a fox, but the weasel was clearly not as friendly. Furthermore, this place was sparsely populated and the environment was harsh, yet it had managed to survive and grow so large. It must have some skills.
He closed the window, thought about it, and fixed it again. He turned back and said glumly, “Oh no! Dahuang is injured, and the quilt is dirty.”
Hotel quilts were all white, and blood stains were difficult to handle. The deposit was likely lost.
More importantly, Dahuang was injured. Fang Zhe chanted a spell to stop the bleeding, and while it stopped, it probably wouldn’t be able to make it up the mountain. He’d actually bought two to guard against any unforeseen events, but he didn’t expect to lose them before even reaching the mountain.
“That guy didn’t get the chicken. It’s not that I’m afraid of thieves stealing it, but I’m afraid they’ll be lurking around. I have to be careful these days,” Xie Lingya thought, still worried.
“It’s just a weasel, at worst we’ll just have our chickens with us,” Hai Guanchao said. “Are you really afraid of a weasel?”
“Not that I’m afraid, I don’t want to harm small animals. I’m afraid it might cause trouble. Forget it, we’ll see if we meet one. I’m still very gentle.” Xie Lingya said, then tied Pheasant to his hand with a rope and left Dahuang to Fang Zhe’s care, one on each side. Dahuang was already injured, and Pheasant couldn’t afford to get hurt again.
….
The next day, Xie Lingya and Fang Zhe kept the chickens with them. Dahuang wasn’t doing particularly well, with a broken neck and no strength to move. Pheasant was in good health, but he was also frightened, as if sensing something. So Xie Lingya led him and he was obedient, never struggling.
During training, he kept the chickens nearby to keep them from running around.
The hotel staff looked at them even more strangely. Of all the people hiking and traveling, this group was the most unusual. Not only were they carrying two live chickens, but now they were holding them in their arms.
Fresh fruit was delivered at noon, but only cash was accepted. Xie Lingya stuffed the chicken into Shi Changxuan’s arms and went back to the room to get the cash.
As soon as he entered the room, Xie Lingya found that there was someone else inside. It was a slim girl who was bending over to tidy up the sheets in the inner room. She must have met the staff who cleaned the room.
The girl heard someone swipe the card to come in, and without turning around, asked: “What’s the matter with the blood?”
Xie Lingya was embarrassed, “I told the front desk that I will compensate you with the deposit.”
The girl asked again: “But why is there blood?”
Xie Lingya: “…It’s chicken blood, chicken blood!”
He felt as if he was being misunderstood, very embarrassed, and walked to the suitcase depressedly, unlocked it, and took out the change.
At that moment, Liu Lingtong suddenly said, “Neither male nor female, a yellow fairy possessed to steal the yellow chicken.”
Xie Lingya shuddered, his squatting movements slowing down as he punched in the code. Out of the corner of his eye, he could catch a glimpse of the girl’s legs. She emerged from the inner room, her steps a bit stiff, still speaking, “Brother, did you kill the chicken?”
“No, I’m still raising it.” Xie Lingya shielded his hands with a box as he fished out the cinnabar.
The girl walked up to him, squatted down, and said with a smile, “Why don’t you give it to me?”
Xie Lingya looked up and nearly choked on his saliva.
He had seen this cleaning girl once before. She used to have big eyes and a sniffy nose, but now her eyes were squeezed like beans, her nose wrinkled and twitching from time to time as if sniffing. Her eyes darted restlessly up and down, her demeanor like a weasel. And there was even a hint of vulgarity about her.
Xie Lingya jumped up, took a long step back, and clutched the cinnabar in his hand. He said, “…Why are you getting others into trouble? If you need anything, come to me.”
Being possessed was bound to lead to illness.
The “girl” licked her lower lip, and her voice changed, becoming androgynous. She lunged forward and lunged at Xie Lingya, wrapping her limbs around him tightly. She giggled, “Who told you I couldn’t possess others?”
She suddenly became incredibly powerful. Xie Lingya calmly said, “If you let me go now, we can still talk. I can let you go.”
The “girl” laughed strangely again, rubbing against him a bit, and said, “Please don’t let me go. Please.”
Her voice was sticky, and her breath still lingered on Xie Lingya’s neck, giving him goosebumps. This weasel should have been male, but its words were so perverted. Was it using a woman’s body to cause trouble, or was it just a gay weasel?
Just as Xie Lingya was about to speak, the door suddenly opened, and Shi Changxuan, Fang Zhe and Hai Guanchao rushed in with chickens in their arms. They were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The “girl” climbed on Xie Lingya with her head buried in his neck, so they couldn’t see her face. They only saw Xie Lingya hugging someone tightly.
Xie Lingya: “…”
Hai Guanchao said speechlessly: “Mr. Xie, you…”
Xie Lingya quickly said: “I’m not, I don’t, I have a partner!”
The girl raised her face, and the face that was squeezed together and looked like a weasel scared Hai Guanchao. How could he not believe it? He thought to himself that it was no wonder that Master Shi suddenly asked everyone to come up together.
He didn’t expect that this weasel was so petty. Mr. Xie hit it a few times and it came back to seek revenge. Now it seems that this is definitely not a good fortune.
The three stepped forward and tore the “girl” off Xie Lingya.
Fang Zhe took out a length of red rope and wrapped it around her hand a few times. “When the sun rises, a thousand points of red appear. Yin locks up ghosts, Yang locks up monsters. The sky is connected by these ropes!”
The red rope tightened, digging into her flesh, immobilizing her for a moment.
To prevent her from struggling, Xie Lingya grabbed the “girl’s” chin and drew talismans on her face with cinnabar. “Red ink suppresses evil, demons are annihilated, and ghosts are destroyed!”
Shi Changxuan also restrained the “girl’s” shoulders. They were out on a mission, so they had brought a lot of stuff. He printed the Bagua mirror on the “girl’s” vest, and she completely lost her composure. With a howl, her body relaxed and she fainted.
Xie Lingya supported the girl, held her as she collapsed, and laid her flat.
Shi Changxuan used the Bagua mirror to illuminate the girl, then lifted the bed sheet and pulled out a weasel from under the bed. It was the same weasel they had seen yesterday, its true form hiding beneath the bed.
The weasel rolled its eyes and stuck its butt out, trying to stun them with its stench.
Xie Lingya rolled up his sleeves. “You dare take advantage of me? Let me do it.”
Before he could finish his words, Shi Changxuan had already thrown the weasel to the ground, knocking it half unconscious. He stepped on its vital point and, with one hand, pulled out a talisman. The talisman spontaneously combusted as soon as his hand rubbed it.
Shi Changxuan quickly pried open the weasel’s mouth and stuffed the still-burning talisman into it. He then held it in place, holding onto its mouth, and refused to let go, no matter how it thrashed. The weasel let out a pitiful sound, its body twisting, its eyes pleading for mercy.
Shi Changxuan’s grip was incredibly steady, not letting up even a bit. Within about thirty seconds, the weasel had visibly withered, its fur fading, and a hint of white appearing on the tips of its ears.
Only then did Shi Changxuan release his grip on its mouth and calmly stand, holding its tail.
The weasel felt as if it had been run over by a wheel. Its tail held, its body swaying limply in the air twice, it seemed hopeless in life.
Others: “…………”
Fang Zhe, Hai Guanchao, and even Xie Lingya himself, were all prepared for him to go forward and use violence.
Who knew that it was Taoist Shi who quietly destroyed the weasel’s cultivation in an instant, and saw this thing destroyed right before their eyes. Judging from its fur color and the strength it just exerted, it must have lived for more than twenty years. But Shi Changxuan didn’t say a word, leaving it no chance.
Shi Changxuan even looked at his hands that were covered with a few hairs and was about to wash his hands. He looked up and saw everyone staring at him and said lightly: “It has done so many evil things, destroying it will prevent it from causing trouble in the future.”
After that, he went to wash his hands.
Fang Zhe finally came to his senses and whispered, “Could it be that this is actually a weasel that’s rampaging in the countryside, so Master Shi took action without hesitation?”
Hai Guanchao swallowed and said, “At that moment, I seemed to see the figure of Mr. Xie…”
He attacked with such a sharp and ruthless force, leaving no room for maneuver, and even clamped the weasel’s mouth. In this respect, he was even more “meticulous” than Xie Lingya. I’m afraid it was Mr. Xie’s order.
Xie Lingya also reacted and said, “What do you know? Senior brother saw that I was being taken advantage of by the weasel, so he helped me vent my anger.”
Hai Guanchao chuckled, “How could Xiao Shi be the kind of person who couldn’t distinguish between public and private matters!”
