The Kuman Thong 2

As Zhuang Yuning spoke, she wept bitter tears of remorse, “I swear, if I knew it would become like that, I would not have fed it blood and raw meat… . I was afraid . Then, I came up with the idea of throwing the puppet away before it became worse . ”

So, I threw the puppet away when I traveled outside of the country . I thought it would not able to find me, but its soul returned, and it warned me to get its spirit body, the puppet back within a month . I don’t know where it is now, even if I did, I don’t want to continue this relationship… . ”

She looked up at Ye Shaoyang with pitiful eyes, “I did not intend for this to happen . I regret it . Heavenly Master Ye, save me, please . ”

Ye Shaoyang drew a deep breath . Finally, he had almost understood the whole story . Although Zhuang Yuning’s actions seemed foolish, at least she had realized the consequence early on and threw away the puppet . It was too late as she had lost control over her Kuman Thong .

Xiao Ma felt sad to see his goddess crying, so he tried to comfort her, “Don’t worry . Little Ye is a very powerful Daoist . That is just a little, tiny spirit . He will surely settle this problem for you . ”

Ye Shaoyang looked at Xiao Ma from the corner of his eyes,and smiled coldly, “Oh yeah, a little, tiny spirit huh?”

“It isn’t?” Xiao Ma asked, stunned .

Ye Shaoyang did not answer his question but asked in reply, “Do you remember the appearance the spirit revealed when I caught it?”

Xiao Ma looked terrified as he recalled and muttered, “There were sutures all over its face, and its flesh could be seen when the sutures burst open . What did that indicate?”

“That was its true appearance . I sensed that there were another few pieces of its soul in it . I am afraid someone used the Soul Stitching Technique to stitch ten malicious spirits according to the order of a human’s three Hun and seven Po to form a new complete soul . I have just killed a small piece of its soul, which would not bring much harm to the spirit . ”

“Ten spirits combined into one? Such a strange technique . ” Xiao Ma sounded incredulous . He paused before he asked, “How did it gain intelligence?”

“It is not as complicated as you think . The mind can remain as a whole without a complete three Hun and seven Po . ” Ye Shaoyang shook his head, “I am just guessing . We can only make a conclusion after we find the puppet . ”

As he spoke, he turned and glanced at Zhuang Yuning, “If you want me to help you, I hope you will not lie to me again . ”

Zhuang Yuning choked with sobs, “I apologize for my previous attitude . I was worried I would lose my job if this spread out . I am deeply sorry . ”

Even though Ye Shaoyang remained silent, he understood her feelings . He believed that if this had happened to another person, they would probably do the same; this was without mentioning the fact that Zhuang Yuning was only a young girl .

“Wait a second,” Zhuang Yuning suddenly thought of something and asked in a trembling voice, “What happened to the security?”

Xie Yuqing shrugged, “He was cut into half . ”

“It was me . It was me . I caused his death… . ” Zhuang Yuning cried out involuntarily .

Immediately, Xiao Ma passed her tissue papers and comforted her .

Ye Shaoyang waited for her to calm down a little . Then, he asked her to describe the whole incident . Zhuang Yuning told them while sobbing . After she finished telling her story, Ye Shaoyang heaved a sigh, “Don’t be too hard to yourself . Since he decided to sacrifice himself to save you, he would receive a karmic reward in his next life . You may help him in his funeral after this . ”

Zhuang Yuning felt a little relieved after listening to Ye Shaoyang’s words, and she nodded in appreciation, “I will nicely settle matters for him . But, Heavenly Master Ye, why were you not at the house when the spirit attacked?”

Ye Shaoyang shook his head, “You didn’t tell me the truth, and I was deceived by a female corpse that looked like you . We wasted our time tracking down the corpse for miles until a river blocked her way where we found out it was not you . ”

Xie Yuqing wondered, “Even if the female corpse looked like her, wouldn’t it be strange that you only realized it was not her after chasing her for miles?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“The appearance was next in importance . The most important part was that the female corpse carried Miss Zhuang’s Hun Qi . ”

He paused for a while before he said confidently, “A spirit can kill, possess humans, or even disperse a human’s Hun Qi . However, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot steal a human’s Hun Qi as the Hun Qi is too heavy for it to carry . It is similar to a powerful sorcerer being unable to go through a wall . So, I suspect someone is behind this . He tried to lead me to the other place while he could instruct the child spirit to attack you . ”

His words stunned the three of them .

“Do you have any idea of the person behind this matter?” Xie Yuqing asked .

“I highly suspect the master of the Kuman Thong . Nobody can instruct a Kuman Thong except him . And nobody else will know the relationship between Miss Zhuang and that Kuman Thong . ”

“That means we have to find out who that master is if we want to close this case?” Xie Yuqing tried to follow his thoughts .

“You’re right . But first, we have to find the spirit body and exterminate it completely . ”

“What is a spirit body?” asked Zhuang Yuning .

“That is the puppet you kept in the cabinet . The puppet resembled a home for it to gain essence and cultivate . ”

“My cabinet… . ” Zhuang Yuning jumped, “How did you find out about that?”

Ye Shaoyang replied, “Do you remember the first time we met, I asked for your permission to have a look into your cabinet? I smelled a faint Spirit Qi, but I didn’t expect you to rear a spirit . I thought a spirit hid inside your cabinet, so I wanted to check properly . You refused . Next moment, you carried a plastic bag that was filled with the smell of incense ashes and went out . Miss Zhuang, am I right?”

“I can’t hide anything from you,” Zhuang Yuning looked at him with a complicated expression and muttered, “Due to the doubtful points you have mentioned, you came to the conclusion that I kept a spirit with me?”

“I didn’t know you had a Kuman Thong, but I was sure that you were hiding something from me . Besides, the subsequence things that happened proved that you must have some link to the child spirit . ”

Zhuang Yuning hung her head low, feeling embarrassed .

Xiao Ma suddenly thought of something and asked, “But the spirit did not kill her at once . What would happen if we didn’t rescue her?”

“It seems like the spirit was trying to bring her to a place . I don’t know where, but I can assure you that it is not some place that is nice to visit . ” Ye Shaoyang paused for a moment and turned to Zhuang Yuning, “Do you know the details of the master of Kuman Thong? Do you know where he lives?”

“I don’t know . I’ve never met him before . My friend, Xiaoying helped me to get it from Mr . Hu . According to her, Mr . Hu is an agent of the master . I have only met him twice . ” Zhuang Yuning shook her head as she answered .

“Do you know how to contact Mr . Hu?” Ye Shaoyang urged .

“Umm… . I don’t have it . Xiaoying helped me arrange everything . ”

“We can ask Xiaoying now . At least we will obtain some clues,” said Ye Shaoyang .

Zhuang Yuning gave an awkward smile, “I afraid we can’t . Xiaoying . . . she has gone crazy . ”
