As soon as Li Mazi was about to turn around to check, Yi Xi jumped off the roof

 and landed 

on his back. 

He 

opened his mouth

 and tried 

to bite 

Li Mazi

. 

“

Shoot

! Little 

B

rother Zhang, help! Help me!” 

Li Mazi screamed and cried 

as he tried

 to push Yi Xi away. I took out the Sirius Whip

 and hit 

Yi Xi’s back. However, he didn’t let go of Li Mazi. 

I

 was wrestling

 with 

a superstar

. I could tell my grand

children

 this glorious story. That is

if

I could live until 

then

. 

Yi Xi droole

d. His 

mouth was wide open

 and w

as about to bite Li Mazi’s throat. My heart dropped. For my friend, I wouldn’t mind risking my life

.

I

 screamed

 and charged 

forward. “Yi Xi, you shameless gay bastard, look here!” 

Yi Xi halted

, and h

is bloodshot eyes bulged. He quietly gazed at me

, then slowly

 got up one more time. 

I felt my hair rising under his malicious gaze. I hurried to rush backward. 

T

he moment Yi Xi stormed toward me, I immediately ran 

in the opposite direction

. 

Yi Xi didn’t care

 about

 anything

 and only chased 

after me. He panted and grunted like a wild beast. I could feel him close behind me. I held the Sirius Whip tightly in my hand. As soon as I turned around, Yi Xi jumped

 and pressed onto 

me. 

I shoved the Sirius Whip into his mouth. Yi Xi bit 

it, and h

is drool dropped 

to

 my neck. The Sirius Whip was made of extraordinarily tough wolf skin

, and p

eople’s teeth couldn’t 

break

 it. 

However, his face was just an inch away from 

mine. It looked 

terrifying. His fingernails dug deep into my shoulders

 as he pressed 

me on the ground. I didn’t know how long I could put up with this madman. 

Li Mazi came. He was 

stunned when he saw 

us. “Little 

B

rother Zhang, are you all right?” 

“Do you think I’m all right? 

Help me

!” I shouted. 

“I’m going to get more people…” 

“Get back here!” 

Li Mazi turned around

. He looked hesitant

. “Even if I stay, I can’t help you.” 

“Do you have a pocket knife or anything sharp?” I asked. 

Li Mazi checked his pocket

 and said

, “I

’ve

 got a pair of pocket scissors.” 

“Okay, I’ll try my best to hold him. 

S

cratch both of his shoulders and his glabella. Scratch him until he bleeds!” 

“

I’m not sure if—

” Li Mazi hesitated. 

“He will bite me to death 

if you don’t do it

!” I scoffed. 

“All right, all right, I

’ll do it!” 

Li Mazi took out his small scissors. 

M

y grandpa 

once told

 me that 

someone

 who 

had gone

 crazy 

had

 their three Yang flames co

rrupted by some evil spirit

. Yi Xi’s condition wasn’t different from that. It was the only thing I could think of at this moment

.

I started to read the 

s

acred 

t

ext of Daoism. Li Mazi approached Yi Xi from behind

 and scratched 

his shoulder. Yi Xi didn’t seem to feel 

any

 pain. 

After he had scratched both of Yi Xi’s shoulders, Li Mazi came to the front

 and 

said, “I’m so sorry, handsome Yi!”

He held the scissors tightly but didn’t dare to scratch the man’s face. I was busy chanting the 

s

acred 

t

ext of Daoism, so I didn’t urge him. 

Eventually, 

Li Mazi stabbed a hole at Yi Xi’s glabella. 

Right after

, Yi Xi’s bloodshot eyes became normal

. They then

 rolled to the back of his head, 

and

 he lost consciousness.  

Yi Xi’s 

body was already in bad shape, and he was then controlled, which

drained

 his stamina and vitality

. When his 

Yang flames extinguished

, h

e

 went into

 shock. 

I carefully pushed him aside and heaved a sigh of relief. I found my clothes damp with sweat. 

“Come help me lift him,” I told Li Mazi. 

“What if he wakes up?” Li Mazi asked. 

“

H

e won’t. Hurry up!”

The two of us held him by his shoulders and leg

s and 

lift

ed

 him 

with ease

. 

W

e

 then 

returned to the courtyard

;

 Yin Xinyue and Team leader Xu were waiting for us.

When they saw

 us carrying Yi Xi, Yin Xinyue was thrilled. “Brother Zhang, how did you guys subdue him?”

“We almost 

didn’t

 make it. Come help us bring him to his room.” I gasped for my 

breath

. 

Two staff 

members 

walked forward and received Yi Xi. I asked Mr. Xu, “Did he kill anybody?” 

“No, the emergency unit came and took the wounded staff away. There hasn’t been any bad news yet

.

” Mr. Xu also felt lucky. 

“

That’s

 good!” 

Yi Xi was 

brought to 

the living room. I asked people to move the furniture away. I then went to the kitchen to fetch the rooster I had bought yesterday. I killed the rooster in the yard and collected a bowl of warm blood. I poured all of the blood into the carpenter line marker. 

I asked a 

staff member to

 help me mark 

some

 lines on the ground and even on the walls. Th

is

 line marker was a tool

 used by carpenters, and

s

ince it could create straight lines, it 

was associated with ‘righteousness

.

’

 Gradually, it became an exorcising tool.

Soon, red lines covered the entire room. 

After I considered

 Yi Xi’s situation, I was afraid that we couldn’t 

stick to

 our original plan. I asked the others,

“

Was anyone

 here born in the year of the ox?” 

A man stepped forward

. “I was

.” 

I asked him to put on the ancient woman clothes and the Prince of Lanling

’s

 mask. However, 

h

e wasn’t willing to do 

it

. Everybody here knew how 

strange

 the mask was. “It’s okay. Your birth year was the same 

as the Prince of

 Lanling. You will temporarily be his stunt double.” 

The extra still didn’t want to do 

it, so

 I quietly enticed him

.

 “After this, I’ll give you an otherworldly item that 

can

 help you become rich.” 

“Really?” 

T

he extra’s eyes brightened. 

“

Definitely

.” 

“I want you to promise that I’ll be safe!” 

“I swear that you’ll be safe

.

” I nodded. 

The extra took off his jacket and put on the dress and the mask. I asked him to sit in the middle of the yard. 

It was already twilight

. T

here was no beam of sunlight left in the sky. 

Then, I called the others to move all the clay dolls and horses we had made 

in the

 morning

. I arranged them so that they faced 

the big mountain behind the small town. 

After the preparations were complete, I took out the bag of coal cinder

 and sprinkled the 

cinder on the extra 

as I read

 a 

soul-summoning 

spell. The other

s 

stood and watched. No one dared to breathe aloud. 

I did that to 

provoke

 the soul of the Prince of Lanling

. I wanted him 

to come out 

so that I could

force him to return 

to his tomb! With that, 

t

he mask’s power would reduce

. It would also make it easier to help

 Yi Xi. 

Asking the 

‘

stunt double’ to wear wom

en’s

clothing

 was no different from talking ill 

of the Prince of

 Lanling 

for

 being feminine. At the same time, the cinder that ten thousand people had stepped on was meant to insult him. 

To deal with otherworldly items, sometimes

we 

needed

 to 

anger them, and other times we need to persuade them.

 There was no best solution.

After around fifteen minutes, the stunt double began to shake. Strange humming noise

s escaped 

his throat. Suddenly, his voice changed. “Ignorant 

fools. Are you trying

 to humiliate me?!” 

H

e stood up. The 

onlookers

 were so frightened

 that

 they hurriedly 

backed

 off. I signaled at them to

 not

 talk. 

He stooped and saw himself wearing 

women’s

 clothes. This set of clothes made him feel extremely embarrassed. 

H

e then noticed the clay dolls and horses

 and scolded

, “I

’ll

 lead a great army of thousands to take 

your pathetic lives

!” 

A mass of black wind came out of the man

, twirling 

around him. Eventually, it left his 

body

and covered 

the mud dolls. 

The mud dolls and horses shook hard

 then shattered 

into dust. I followed it 

until

 the door and saw 

the

 wisp of cold 

wind

zoom

 away to the big mountain. 

“Done! We

’ve

 sent him away!” I cheered up. 

I returned to the yard. The stunt double was unconscious

 and laid 

on the ground. I took the mask off his face and marked a few lines on it 

with

 the carpenter line marker

. It was to 

ensure the soul wouldn’t return. 

After a while, the man awoke. He 

didn’t remember what took place just now, and

 he didn’t feel anything strange, either. The onlookers were thrilled

 as they admired 

my deeds. 

Yin Xinyue came out from the hous

e and shouted

, “Brother Zhang, Yi Xi woke up!”
