Chapter 104: The Vanishing Yin Yang Twin Sharks
“I was just guessing, you don’t need to be so scared.”
Tu You was no longer afraid at this moment. He flew to Sang Chu’s side and looked at her: “You know about the Yin Yang Twin Sharks, they are the ancestors of resentment! They are the king of evil spirits in the deep sea that can stir up heaven and earth single-handedly. How can I not be afraid?”
Sang Chu: “This Thunder Ghost Shark is also known as the Yin Yang Twin Sharks. However, I haven’t seen them in the Monster Tome Mountain Range, only in the sorcery inheritance of Lei Zao Jie. Legend has it that the Thunder Ghost Shark can control heavenly lightning. Although it is born of resentment, its power is incredibly strong. But if the Thunder Ghost Shark in this village is so powerful, why was it sealed by a Demon-Quelling Banner made by mortals?”
Tu You asked doubtfully: “So you guessed wrong?”
Sang Chu shook her head: “I’m more inclined to believe that this Thunder Ghost Shark’s strength is not strong. Perhaps, they have been separated.”
Tu You pondered the possibility Sang Chu mentioned: “If that’s the case, then this Master has some skills!”
“Mm, do you remember what the detective said when I mentioned I was introduced by Qin Ge?”
Tu You: “He should know Mian Ge.”
Sang Chu nodded: “If I’m not mistaken, this Bell Tower itself should be a Magic Tool, specifically designed to suppress evil spirits. And the Yang Shark from the Yin Yang Twin Sharks is likely in this Bell Tower. Therefore, the Yin Shark chose someone from this village on a stormy day.”
Fishermen wouldn’t go out to sea during a heavy rainstorm, especially with wives, children, and elderly parents at home. He wouldn’t risk going out to sea. The most likely scenario is that he wanted to go out to sea but feared the stormy weather, yet was pressured by the hardships of life. Such people are the easiest to control.”
Tu You understood what Sang Chu was trying to say: “You mean, for some reason, the Yin Yang Twin Sharks were not a complete entity from the beginning. The Yin Shark wants to rescue the sealed male shark, so she tempted the mentally unstable and weak-willed youngest son of the Liu Family to go out to sea, using him to come to this place. She wants to give birth to a soul body and then go rescue the Yang Shark?”
Sang Chu shook her head: “We’ve fallen into a strange loop.”
“What?”
“Who says the Yin Shark will definitely save the Yang Shark? Why wouldn’t she eat him to increase her own strength?”
Tu You shouted: “Oh no, then now…”
“Perhaps, this is why Qin Si Mian said he could be summoned at a critical moment. The Yin Shark is probably close to succeeding. If she eats the Yang Shark and completes her transformation, advancing into a Thunder Ghost Shark, then it will be too late for everything.”
The missions on the train are indeed extraordinary, and we can’t stay here for long. If we can’t resolve it quickly, the consequences will be endless.
Tu You: “Then, then what do we do now! Neither of us can beat them!”
Sang Chu: “We can’t beat them, but have you forgotten what the elder said? The Demon-Quelling Banner can seal them. As long as the Demon-Quelling Banner is hung in the corresponding position, it should work.”
“But, but, but, where do we get a young boy to draw the Demon-Quelling Banner!”
Sang Chu gritted her teeth and looked at the fishbone in front of her: “The Leaf Vein Floating Life Art can revive the dead and flesh the bones, and it can also forcibly awaken a person’s soul, bringing the dead back to the present world.”
“No, you haven’t learned it yet, have you? Besides, all of this is just your guess. What if it’s not?”
Sang Chu: “I don’t know if the previous ticket holders have been to this place or if they guessed what happened here. But since I’m here, I don’t want to leave empty-handed. You think I’m wrong, but I feel it’s highly likely.
Do you want to gamble with me? There must be a place under that Bell Tower sealing the Yang Shark, and the Yin Shark must be guarding him, plundering his power. If you want to gamble, I can go with you to find it. But the consequence is that you, with my mental body clone in the Jade Bracelet, leave the train, and then we return to the Apocalypse together. Of course, that’s the best outcome.”
“Is, is there no other way?”
Sang Chu looked at the fishbone in front of her and said: “The best way is for me to use the Leaf Vein Floating Life Art to save this child, have him draw the Demon-Quelling Banner, and I will refine and cut it, placing the Demon-Quelling Banner in its proper position to reactivate the formation. This way, it doesn’t matter if my guess is right or wrong; the things inside can still be suppressed for a few more years.”
Tu You: “Are you sure? You yourself said the Leaf Vein Floating Life Art is a dangerous technique that might cost a life for a life!”
Sang Chu sighed and looked at the locust tree beside her: “Then it depends on whether heaven chooses me or the Thunder Ghost Shark.”
“Rabbit, stay away from me.”
“Then, then you be careful.”
Knowing she couldn’t be persuaded and having no good solution at the moment, Tu You could only fly to the side and wait.
Sang Chu picked up the fishbone from the pit and placed it aside: “I don’t know how old you are now, but since you are still here, it means there are people you want to protect here. Therefore, I need to awaken you from death. If you, like me, want everyone trapped in this matter to come out, then let’s work together.”
After speaking, Sang Chu took a deep breath. She had practiced the Leaf Vein Floating Life Art for a long time but had never succeeded. But this time, she could only succeed, not fail. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to save anyone and would also be trapped herself.
As her hand seals changed, vines slowly grew from her body. Small white flowers bloomed from buds in just one second. No matter how hard she tried, not a single leaf grew from her body.
The Leaf Vein Floating Life Art, as the name suggests, requires leaf veins. But without leaves, only flower fragrance is futile!
Seeing Sang Chu’s face growing paler and white flowers piling up on the ground, Tu You was so anxious he was almost spinning in place.
Whoosh—
A gentle breeze blew, and the small white flowers on the ground covered the child.
Leaves from the large locust tree rustled down onto Sang Chu.
This made her eyes widen.
Locust leaves took root and sprouted on her body, while the large locust tree visibly withered and then crashed to the ground.
Sang Chu’s hands holding the seal were trembling, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.
Tu You watched as more and more trees, carried by the gentle breeze, sent their leaves to Sang Chu, and the dying trees could no longer hold on.
He flew to Sang Chu’s side, transformed into human form, and continuously poured his own power into her: “I don’t know why I’m doing this, but I just don’t want to regret it. Let’s work together!”
Sang Chu was covered in cold sweat, her face ashen, her voice so weak it was almost inaudible, but she still smiled: “Okay, let’s try working together.”
The flowers and trees in the entire mountain forest gradually withered. At this moment, the fishbone on the ground slowly began to grow limbs, a head, and a body.
The child on the ground slowly moved his limbs and slowly opened his eyes. Sang Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground, exhausted.
The child, with tears streaming down his face, looked at Sang Chu: “Th-thank you.”
