Chapter 234The Four Heavenly Beasts

After some time, Xie Yuqing reminded the officers, You guys dont need to be this thorough . We only need some pictures for archiving purposes . Just run through the formalities and pack up .

Ye Shaoyang pointed at the coffin which was still half buried, You guys can probably get a raise this month . That coffin is a thousand-year-old artifact, but you guys probably need to say that it contained something else other than an Undead King .

Dont worry . The police here totally understand these kinds of things, Xie Yuqing said . She then asked two officers two stand guard while another two brought the mysterious young man out .

Xie Yuqing curiously directed the light to the young mans face and was shocked, Wow, quite a handsome one . Eh? Why are his eyes blue?

Tell you later, Ye Shaoyang said .

Everyone walked in a line out the valley . Ye Shaoyang turned to check on them . With the exception of the mysterious young man, Tan Xiaohui, Xiao Ma and Teng Yongqing were all pretty severely injured . Even so, at least everyone survived, and the cure for Ye Shaoyang has been obtained .

All in all still a successful mission,

Ye Shaoyang thought .

As they got to the exit of Dead Man Valley, Ye Shaoyang saw the blood witches . All of them were in handcuffs and sitting on the road .

Xie Yuqing ordered the officers to bring them out . Even though they had no more power, Yu Ting was still worried about something happening . She warned the officers to pick a safe route and walk slowly .

Where are you going to send them? Ye Shaoyang curiously asked .

Xie Yuqing said, To the town I stayed in .

Ye Shaoyangs eyes grew big, They are just going to walk it?

Yeah, since cars cant come here .

I guess, Ye Shaoyang shook his head .

Those witches are pretty unlucky to be treated like criminals and forced to walk for more than 10 kilometers . . .

Ye Shaoyang turned to look at the other witches who had been knocked out by him and Xiao Ma . Most of them were still unconscious . Those who were awake were still very disoriented . However, all of their faces were covered with blood .

Ye Shaoyang was shocked, so she asked Xie Yuqing, You guys even tortured them?

No! Xie Yuqing rolled her eyes and explained, Sister w.a.n.g Ting said that some of these witches still had their power, she was afraid that they might wake up and do something bad . Thats why she told me to just pour black dog blood on all of them just in case .

After hearing this, Ye Shaoyang couldnt help but think that w.a.n.g Ting was very meticulous .

He asked, What will you do with these guys?

Were short on personnel right now, but Ive called for more to come . I think theyll be here in half an hour, Xie Yuqing turned to look at Xiao Ma and the rest of them . They all seemed very weak, so Xie Yuqing brought them to a spot ten meters away and asked them to sit down .

Why didnt we just sit at that place? Ye Shaoyang asked .

The wind is stronger here, so there are fewer mosquitos, Xie Yuqing winked at him .

Ye Shaoyang didnt know how to reply to her because her concerns of mosquito were minor compared to what Ye Shaoyang had been through .

Teng Yongqing who had used most of his power and was hurt went to a nearby tree to rest .

Xie Yuqing took out bottles of mineral water and a bucket of KFC from her bag and told everyone, Come have some food; I bet you guys are hungry .

Ye Shaoyang instantly grabbed one of the drumsticks and devoured it . He then complained, Can you be more generous next time? Why did you get the same old western food as last time?

WesternXie Yuqing got annoyed and explained, I had to carry this all the way up, okay? If I carried more, then I would have injured my shoulders . Would you give me a ma.s.sage then? Youre lucky to even have food right now!

Xie Yuqing took one of the drumsticks and was planning to give it to the handsome young man . However, after some time of looking, she finally found him near Teng Yongqing resting near a tree .

As Xiao Ma ate a drumstick, he took a deep breath . Feeling bewildered, he asked, Whats up with that young man?

Ye Shaoyang replied in a straightforward manner, I dont know .

You dont know? Xiao Ma asked, Then whats with that tattoo of his that can turn into an eagle?

An eagle? Thats the Vermillion Bird! Ye Shaoyang gave him an unimpressed look . Then he started to explain, The Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird and the Black Turtle are all infamous . These four creatures are regarded as the Four Heavenly Beasts in Daoism and represent twenty-eight constellations . The Azure Dragon represents the Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, Ji,

Ye Shaoyang looked up and saw that Xie Yuqing, Xiao Ma, and Tan Xiaohui were staring at him silently . Immediately, he knew that his explanation was very boring, so he waved in hands and said,

Ill not weigh you guys down with the details . The important part is that this young man has the ability to control the power of the Vermillion Bird . According to ancient records, it is said that people use to take Qilin blood and tattoo one of the Four Heavenly Beasts on themselves . Then, through some magic, activate it to become their personal guardian . Once the tattoo gained a certain level of cultivation, the user would be able to activate the tattoo with his own blood and receive its power .

That awesome? Xiao Ma scratched his head and asked . He looked at the young man was resting and asked Ye Shaoyang, Then, why did you say you knew nothing .

I really dont know who he is . According to legend, there are only a few people who were able to gain this type of control . Only people with extraordinary bodies can gain control . There havent been many individuals that could do this . During the Qing dynasty, the only person who knew the art was a Heavenly Master who died at a very special place in the underworld . Since then, the art has been lost . So, its impossible that this guy was able to learn the art .

Xie Yuqing quickly asked, Why?

Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, That special place can be entered, but no one can return not even spirits .

Xiao Ma and the others looked at each other . They have heard Ye Shaoyang talk about the special place quite a few times . Xiao Ma could not hold back his curiosity anymore, he asked, Where exactly is this special place?

Ye Shaoyang shook his head and said, Its best I dont mention the name of this place . The G.o.ds are watching, and there are spirits around . Best not to let them know were talking about that place .

This explanation left Xiao Ma speechless, so he switched the subject, You said that the Vermillion Bird is a creature of Daoist origins, so why did it attack you just now? Did it not know youre a Heavenly Master? Also, how strong is it if you could just beat it just now?
