Chapter 10, Yin Sha
Upon hearing this, the great general slammed the table in anger, exclaiming, "Damn it, I have spent so much money to build a camp, and you two filthy Taoists can just burn it down with a single word? I see that you have ill intentions.
The sound grew closer, and Mr. Hu looked under the bed to see the female ghost slowly crouching down, seemingly preparing to search beneath the bed
This female ghost is not only terrifying in appearance, but also devoid of reason, showing no fear of talismans or incantations. Mr. Hu fought desperately but could not overcome this female ghost, ultimately abandoning his peach wood sword and fleeing outside.
At that moment, the female ghost suddenly went mad, her eyes fixed fiercely on Mr. Hu as she shouted: "It is you, it is you who caused my child's death. Return my child's life to me"
My father asked again: "What is Sha?" Sun Xiezi replied: "Generally, Sha refers to the Tai Sui Sha, which commonly resides in the four seasons, becoming the 'Yin energy of the four seasons.' It is extremely malevolent, capable of roaming the heavens, and its territory cannot be pierced, constructed upon, or relocated. If one inadvertently offends this, the descendants and livestock in the household will suffer harm. However, the direction of the annual Sha is quite easy to locate. Starting from the south at the beginning of the year, it moves eastward in reverse, one position per day, four positions per week, cycling continuously. Yet this female ghost is not the Tai Sui Sha, but rather a Yin Sha that is even more powerful than the Tai Sui Sha."
"Yin Sha? Why have I never heard of it before?" Mr. Hu asked
I remember my father once told me a story set during the Republic of China period, when various regions were plagued by war. In a cemetery on the outskirts of Fengtian (Shenyang), a small warlord was preparing to build a military warehouse there
The two individuals looked into each other's eyes, both feeling at a loss for good ideas. At that moment, the soldier spoke again: "If you two immortals rebuild after the burning, will there still be ghosts haunting the place?"
Upon hearing this, the general agreed and ordered the soldiers to escort the two of them into the military camp
When it came down to it, the soldier understood that the plan was to burn down the barracks. He pondered for a moment and said, "Two immortals, it’s not that I lack understanding, but the matter you speak of is too mysterious. Although many have died and the commander believes in ghosts, if you say you want to burn down the barracks, the commander will definitely not agree. It’s possible that in order to maintain troop morale, he might even execute the two of you."
Since we all worked the night shift and had slept a bit during the day, no one felt sleepy. At this moment, my dad said: "Old Sun, you mentioned that female ghost; I tried so hard to pry her fingers off your hand, but as soon as Xiao Lu shouted, she listened. What is going on?"
After dawn, the military camp's gate opened, and Mr. Hu walked out from inside. He told the commander that the spirits inside were too formidable, and he needed to prepare before returning in the evening
The dark thoughts were too perilous; if it weren't for the dawn crowing of the rooster, I would not have expected to survive today
The soldier thought for a moment and said: "How about this, I will go back and discuss it with the commander. If he agrees, that would be even better; if he does not, at least I can say I have done my best for these brothers who carry guns"
The soldier said: "This used to be a chaotic graveyard, but due to being surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the city on one side, it caught the commander's attention mhetushu .com .com"
The two can only think this way; they will do their best and leave the rest to fate
Holding a dead infant in her arms, the corpse had already decayed to reveal patches of white bone. The woman suddenly lifted her head to look at Mr. Sun, grinning eerily, and with a voice that was almost shrill, she said: "Isn't my baby beautiful? Look at how obedient my baby is?"
Master Hu pondered for a moment, then called in the soldier who was following him and said: "Sir, I have a matter to discuss with you," and proceeded to explain this ominous situation to the soldier.
Xuanhui said: "Actually, I have never seen it either, but I once came across an ancient text in the Taoist temple that introduced the concept of Yin Sha."
Xuanhui shook her head and said: "It will not happen. As long as the accumulated resentment is dispersed under a great fire at noon, she will surely be reduced to ashes, and peace will be restored here"
It is said that malevolent spirits fear neither talismans nor incantations, and that neither the Dao can restrain them nor the Buddha can save them
During a casual encounter, the two individuals became close friends who could talk about anything. After Mr. Hu met Xuanhui, he recounted everything that had happened the previous night.
Only then did Xuanhui ponder for a moment and say: "What you encountered cannot be called a ghost, for she has already become a malevolent spirit"
Sun Xiezi said: "I do not know about other things, but this female ghost is certainly not an ordinary being. Did you see the blood vessels in her eyes? This female ghost has already become a malevolent spirit, and fortunately, she has only just transformed, still retaining a trace of rationality. Just now, when Xiao Lu shouted, it might have triggered her; otherwise, we would all have to stay there tonight."
Especially Master Hu tells the story as if he were a storyteller on the bridge, gesturing dramatically at the thrilling parts, causing the soldier to break out in a cold sweat.
Upon seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Mr. Hu swiftly slapped a talisman onto the ground, and then brandished the peach wood sword in his hand to engage in battle with the female ghost.
In the distance, a woman could be seen sitting on the ground, seemingly holding a child in her arms. Mr. Sun cautiously approached her, and as he got closer, even the well-traveled Mr. Sun could not help but gasp in shock. The female ghost had crimson eyes and a strange smile at the corners of her mouth.
As long as she has absorbed the souls of seventy-seven individuals, even a deity would be forced to retreat in disarray. At present, it appears that this malevolent spirit has not yet reached its full strength. The only solution is to set fire to the military camp at noon, allowing the sunlight and flames to dispel her evil energy. Otherwise, once she gains power, the entire Fengtian Prefecture will be thrown into chaos
Come on, take me out to deal with this. At that moment, the soldier realized the situation was dire, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, please wait. Why not throw them into the barracks tonight? If they can come out tomorrow, it means the ghosts have already caught them. If they don't come out, it will save you two bullets, won't it?"
This entity is a woman who died in a yin year and a yin month, and coincidentally absorbed a large amount of resentment and corpse energy at midnight on the night of the full moon in the lunar calendar. In terms of feng shui, the full moon must also clash with the Grand Duke, and once all three conditions are met, this wandering soul will transform into a yin evil spirit. Initially, this transformation is hardly noticeable, but when the ghost's eyes turn red, it truly becomes a yin evil spirit
The woman was aimlessly drifting in the room, calling out: "Where are you! Come out! Hehe, I see you, hahaha, hurry and come out."
In the afternoon, the three of them went to the warlord's place, and the young soldier indeed told the general the truth.
Later, this warlord, having run out of options, sought the help of a geomancer. It should be noted that in any era, there are charlatans among geomancers, but most of them possess genuine skills. This geomancer's surname was Hu, and his family had been engaged in geomancy for generations.
Mr. Hu listened carefully to confirm that the female ghost had walked away before quietly crawling out from under the bed
Thus, strong men were gathered, and within a few days, a large area of the graveyard was leveled. However, the warehouse was only half repaired when incidents began to occur frequently in the military camp. First, sentries mysteriously disappeared at night, and eventually an entire squad was found dead in their sleep at the camp. Initially, the warlord did not believe that supernatural forces were at play, so he sent people to investigate the cause. However, after extensive inquiries, nothing could be uncovered, and the number of deaths continued to rise. Terrified, the soldiers preferred to sleep on the dirt road outside the camp rather than enter it.

The commander sent a soldier to follow him, ostensibly for protection, but in reality, it was out of fear that he might escape. It must be said that Master Hu genuinely intended to leave without a trace, but who would have thought that the commander was so suspicious, making it impossible for him to run away. Thus, he decided to seek out a fellow practitioner with whom he usually got along well. This fellow practitioner, named Xuanhui, studied Taoism at Mount Jiuhua and, after completing his studies, traveled to Fengtian, slaying demons and eliminating evil along the way.
Upon arriving at https://www.hetushu.com, I opened my eyes in the military camp and saw the sky shrouded in dark clouds. I asked a soldier, "Soldier, what was this place before the military camp was built?"
After speaking, she patted the head of the dead infant. The infant, which was already in a state of severe decay, immediately fell to the ground like a rubber ball after her pat.
It is feasible to say that burning is an option, but consider that this is a military camp. Even if we were to inform the commander, he would not be able to allow it
The female ghost relentlessly pursued him. Mr. Hu finally managed to reach the main door, only to find it locked from the outside. Seeing no other option, Mr. Hu took a detour back to the barracks, found an empty room, and slipped inside, closing the door and hiding under the bed
How could a soldier have heard of such things? Although I usually know about ghost stories, I never expected it to be this serious. The entire Fengtian Prefecture is bound to be affected, and surely none of my brothers who carry guns will be left unscathed
Just as Mr. Hu saw the tips of the female ghost's hair hanging down, the sound of a rooster crowing came from outside. The female ghost slowly stood up, laughing eerily as she floated towards the outside.
Mr. Hu entered the military camp with his weapon, waiting for nightfall, and when it reached midnight, he heard a woman crying outside. Mr. Hu picked up his weapon and went to the courtyard
Suddenly, the female ghost outside was cackling incessantly. Before long, the door opened, and Mr. Hu was crouched under the bed, not daring to make a sound, with sweat dripping down his cheeks in a steady stream.
As the soldier escorted the two men to the entrance of the military camp, he quietly slipped a box of matches into Master Hu's hand and whispered, "I am sorry, but this is all I can do for you. I hope you both can come out safely."
