Chapter 10, the old witch - the sorceress.

What is this golden light about

In our circle, there is a distinction between the north and the south. This is similar to martial arts, but not as nuanced. It is simply that the older generation in our circle, those with profound knowledge, rarely leave their respective regions.

Kawamori, pay attention!

There are many Yin-Yang agents, and the master's peers are numerous; sometimes they exchange information with each other

Master

When I finished brewing the tea and was about to bring it over, I happened to hear the tall man say: "The witch you offended before has some connections in the three eastern provinces. Now she has escalated the matter, and there has been a significant reaction from the north. I heard that a 90-year-old old witch is personally leading a group south, a total of 5 witches. They say they are coming to seek retribution from you"

However, this time his attitude was very clear; he did not want me to interfere, and I am not a fool, so I naturally did not ask.

This time, there are six witches who have come, among them a pair of sisters named Li Xue and Li Mei, both skilled in summoning spirits with over 5 successful attempts. Being identical twins, they always act together, making them quite difficult to deal with. Another one is the one who abducted you last time, named Ma Chunhua, who possesses 11 wooden tokens, considered an elite practitioner. Last time, she was intimidated by me; otherwise, in a real confrontation, I might not have been able to secure a victory. There is also an old witch's maid named Xin Qin, who is over 80 years old this year. She is the elderly woman in this photo wearing glasses. It is said that she has only summoned spirits 3 times, but she has practiced traditional martial arts and has killed before. Although she is old, she is still quite capable. Among them, the old witch who has come south this time is fondly referred to as 'Elderly Demon' in the circle. At 90 years old, she is the master of Ma Chunhua. I can only say she is formidable; having been possessed over 20 times and still living to 90, she must possess great skills and profound knowledge. It is said that a few years ago, a yin-yang agent from the south went to the north on business and snatched a witch's business, only to be killed by this Elderly Demon the next day. When she died, her soul was shattered, making reincarnation impossible.

Suddenly hearing him say this, I was momentarily taken aback. Before I could regain my composure, my master kicked me in the abdomen, propelling me out of the encirclement of the small black insects, while he also took the opportunity to escape from the swarm of the tiny black flying bugs

Kosen, come here, I have something to say to you

Ah!

Yin-Yang Agent, now that you have exhausted all your tricks, let us see what you can do to me! Once I have drained your energy, I will kill you all and attach myself to your bodies

Hmph, how arrogant!

I saw the fierce ghost struggling and colliding in the golden light, yet it could not escape

The master took half a step forward, placing his hands behind his back, with two fingers pinching the blue talisman that could confuse spirits and the yellow soul-restraining talisman, his expression serious

Because those days spent with my master, the days he taught me to seal spirits and to be a yin-yang agent, are the happiest days of my life

No

Moreover, the witch and our Yin-Yang agents can be considered colleagues. Therefore, when the old witch hinted at something this time, our Yin-Yang agents in the south immediately began to pay attention.

He was in the sky, yet he turned his hand and threw out a blue talisman, which stuck to the countless black flying insects!

The master is also a renowned soul summoner in the south. This time can be described as a clash between the north and the south. If they lose, it would not only be a disgrace to the representative of the yin and yang, but also a loss of face for us in the south

This time, the 90-year-old witch, accompanied by 5 other witches, has come to the south to seek justice, which is a very serious situation

The master pulled me and we walked down the stairs

I cannot forget to this day, I will never be able to forget

Over the years, sometimes when I reminisce about the days spent adventuring alongside my master, or recall the formidable spirits we faced and the various commissions we accepted, I find it all quite remarkable

As the master muttered incessantly, the vengeful spirit was drawn into the gourd by its suction. The master casually placed the lid on the gourd and secured it at his waist

I shouted with joy

Just as I was about to ask the master what kind of tea leaves to use, I noticed two people leaning in close together, engaged in conversation. The master's smiling expression instantly turned serious.

With a wave of the master's hand, a brilliant golden light erupted

It is filled with anxiety, yet it cannot break free; incessant howling proves futile

At that moment, the vengeful spirit looked down and saw its master standing directly beneath it, slapping a golden talisman of soul-restraining onto the ground

The vengeful spirit opened its mouth and the book, releasing countless black insects once again. These insects spiraled continuously in the sky, astonishingly doubling in number compared to the last time

The vengeful spirit howled loudly, yet was surrounded by a golden light, unable to move

Master, you speak

This is the serious matter I wanted to discuss with you today. This girl is named Lian Xin'er, and she is the last closed-door disciple of the old witch. She summoned her first soul at the age of 5 and was able to seal a ghost by the age of 8. She is a well-known prodigy in the North, and of course, she is also your opponent this time

In the past, he always liked to take me along when handling matters, both to allow me to learn something and to expose me to the world.

After the master finished speaking, I was just about to nod my head

The master spoke while taking out a large envelope from his bag and placing it on the coffee table. I opened it to find a total of six photographs, six women, six photos of witches!

One evening, after dinner, I was washing the dishes in the kitchen when I heard a knock at the door. The master went to open it, and a tall, thin man in a black suit walked in, his expression very serious

Trouble

I prepared tea to serve as per the usual practice after seeing it

Almost there

I also do not dare to be as carefree as usual, and my expression has similarly become serious

The master smiled as he opened the lid of the fiery red gourd, and immediately a powerful suction force emerged, aimed at the malevolent spirit

In an instant, a blue light burst forth, and all the small black flying insects began to circle around in the blue light, seemingly entranced and trapped

The master spoke very quickly, but I listened very attentively, looking at these several women in the picture book, feeling a chill all over my body

Hiss ... ...

I heard the wind rushing past my ears, I felt my clothes being torn apart, I saw the master's mask on his face being shredded, wounds appearing on his face, blood flowing freely.

Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth. Today, you have crossed the path of the dead and violated the realm of the living; thus, I shall seal your fate

Why is there still a little girl here

As soon as I saw the master's expression, with his brows slightly furrowed, I knew that there was certainly nothing good in store

Unintentionally, I found myself on a different path

This matter caused a sensation at the time, but was later quelled by the government and relevant departments

I was about to call out to him when I saw the master turn his head and smile at me

These six photographs were obtained through several mediums I engaged, at a considerable expense

At that moment, my hand holding the teacup relaxed in shock, causing the teacup to fall to the ground and shatter

On the evening of the fourth day, as soon as the master entered the door, he called out to me

Finished work, heading home

The master taught me a principle, which is that as a man, as a representative of both yin and yang, one must learn to be brave

Although later I came to understand that it was because of my exceptional talent, destined not to be ordinary, I will still smile

It has taken effect

The malevolent spirit swirled in the sky, resembling a scene straight out of a movie; however, in the film, it was a piece of cloth lifted by a wooden pole, while here, it was a truly bizarre occurrence happening in reality

The spiritual investigator mentioned by the master is actually quite similar to a private detective and is often referred to as a *picture* book. However, in our circle, ordinary detectives are of no use at all. Sometimes, when it comes to investigating certain spirits or gathering specific intelligence, the assistance of a spiritual investigator is required, but their fees are quite high

Old Gao, how come you have the time to come to this small place for a visit

The vengeful spirit, witnessing this scene, had its blood-red mouth wide open, attempting to retract these black little insects, but was unsuccessful

I have been leaving early and returning late these past few days, as you have seen. In fact, I am having friends in my circle gather intelligence. This time, the old witch from the north is coming south with her people, and she must be well-prepared. I also need to gather some intelligence on my end

I had thought that after this matter was settled, I could enjoy a few days of leisure, but unexpectedly, someone came knocking at the door soon after

After Lao Gao conveyed the message, the master remained very serious. For several days, he left early in the morning and returned late at night, hardly ate, and communicated very little with me

In the blink of an eye, the master pulled me behind him, and we were surrounded by a swarm of small black insects.

At this moment, the master leisurely walked over to my side, wearing a smile and an air of ease

It's your turn!

And that day, on the rooftop of that old residential complex that night

Town

I pointed to the last photograph, which featured a girl who appeared to be 8 or 9 years old, with a ponytail and wearing a blue dress. Her features were beautiful, but her gaze was cold, exuding a maturity beyond her years

The master smiled and asked politely, welcoming the tall man inside, who then sat down on the sofa

A small black insect fell from the sky, heading straight for the master and me
