Cheng Jiayi eyes fell on the robust old man which look nothing alike Yang Guang. In passing Cheng Jiayi wonder if the good-looking gene passed down from Yang Guang mother instead of the Yang's. Well aside of that, Yang Guang does show the same mannerism as the two older Yang. His young age does not hinder him from gaining the attention of the 'extraordinary old men' group.
"Please Yang childe, do tell us the detail that happened here," the silent man in maroon Tang suits, Mu Ying finally speak. His gaze is on Yang Guang, but Cheng Jiayi feel that it seems like he is looking directly at him through Yang Guang.
"This matter here associate with my schoolmate here. Let me introduce, this is Cheng Jiayi, he was involved in an incidents when he saved my youngest brother about four days ago. For the past few days, he was put into healing sleeps by my mother after the doctor reports on his post-surgical conditions. There are nothing happen prior today when he was awakened."
Yang Guang calmly narrate what had happened to the old men that give him all their focused and attention. He does not avert their gazes or try to avoid it at all. He just standing there like he is presenting a report to a bunch of old geezer that usually seat at the top of a conglomerate or business organization. Though this group of 'extraordinary old men' definitely not a bunch of capitalist, but isn't it is true they wield quite a significant power in cultivator world.
"However today, when I came visited, I saw Cheng Jiayi was surrounded with yin energy. I initially thought it has to do with any ghost activity in the hospital vicinity. Thus, I decide to return back and aim to eliminate the yin energy from causing further harmful effect to Cheng Jiayi."
"To my surprised the energy is actually emanates from Cheng Jiayi himself. Something had happened in between the moment I send Yang Hui home to the moment I return back to this wardroom. Cheng Jiayi is surrounded by a heavy concentrated of Yin energy and he was in strong pain because his mortal body are not intended to contain a massive amount of Yin energy."
"Whatever that happened between that short period of time stimulate Cheng Jiayi strongly and causing him not only emitting Yin energy but also attracting the surrounding Yin energy. To stop him from totally engulfed by the harmful energy, I used the Bright Yang Talisman imbued with my Yang essence to dispel the excess Yin. But I never guess such a brief moment of Cheng Jiayi released his Yin energy, it would attract the ghost throughout this city."
It is a long narrative given by Yang Guang to describe the event leading to current situation. Cheng Jiayi also listened to it with wide eye and wander, is that mean his body contained a large amount of Yin energy. What is that energy used for. It seems that is the energy that attract ghost to his self. So, what does it mean for him to have Yin energy.
To be honest Cheng Jiayi has a headache to decipher all this cultivator jargon used by Yang Guang or this 'extraordinary old men' group. Can't they just do something about it. Anyway, he does not need any energy that will attract all sort of dirty things. He had enough with the encounter of old man ghost, which still suspended in stillness due to Yang Guang talisman. He wonder how long that ghost will be motionless.
"Err hello err master cultivator." A voice sound like a tiny mouse make all the people who contemplating and digesting the word of Yang Guang look at the young teenager with such a delicate appearance.
"Can't you just take that whatever energy is it from me. I don't want to be eaten by ghost."
"Amitabha. Benefactor Cheng. We would not allow such a thing to occur. Human and non-living being has their own destiny and plane. To harm human would only hurt them more," reply the old man in monk attire. He look at Cheng Jiayi and smile kindly.
"Beside it seems your body shall contain Yin essence for you can emanates and attract a massive amount of Yin energy. It is a miracle you are still alive under the constraints of such a harmful Yin energy. Thus, your body that can withstand it make it quite astounding," celestial master You continue the monk explanation. His eyes stare at Cheng Jiayi deeply then only shaking his head,
"You have an air of righteousness; thus, it is impossible to associate you with ghost or demonic cultivation."
Yang Guang look at Cheng Jiayi and he smile benignly. Not only he has righteous aura, but he also emits noble aura that can exist in harmony with the Yin and Yang essence. But this is not something that he would disclose. The ability to see aura and the essence within one physical body is something that Yang Guang discover only he and Fushe capable of doing. Something that he has always wonder ever since he realised the stark different from him and other cultivators. Not to mention Fushe even has the ability to see the manifestation of one's soul.
"Old man You Qianzhi ! Not all that cultivate ghost cultivation enclosed themselves with Yin energy. It is harmful and will cause deterioration in your cultivation slowly if heavily depending on the Yin energy,'' Tantai Ying rebuke directly. Even he as a ghost cultivator do not and could not manipulate Yin energy easily. It is an energy that can caused backlash to its practitioner if left uncontrolled.
Celestial master You intended to give a retort however Yang Hong word make stop him from be able of doing so. "Enough with you two. Stop acting like a child ! Now we know this child Cheng Jiayi does not have the controlled nor he know why his body emits such a massive amounts of Yin energy. But this cannot go on," Yang Hong remarks sternly. He looked at each cultivators present.
"The reason the ghost out there does not acting frenzy because they cannot detect the Yin energy released by Cheng Jiayi. I believed my grandson must have given him the King Yama protective talisman to mask the Yin energy," hearing Yang Hong explanation make all eyes landed on the young cultivator that hailed as the most prodigious of Yang clan.
"Is the talisman written by you Patriarch Yang ? If yes, it seems your cultivation is increased again. The Yin energy produce by this boy over here surrounded the entire city when it is unmasked. Only a stronger talisman could really mask such a massive Yin energy," Mu Ying speak to the Yang patriarch with a smile. As a wunuo shaman, he definitely sensitive with Yin energy, much more receptive than Tantai Ying who only wield ghost corpses and does not manipulate Yin energy directly by himself.
Yang Hong only response to his statement with meaningful smile and seem acquiesce with it. His eyes give a meaningful glance at his second son that Yang Yulin understand and give him a subtle nod. He proceed to give a brief glance at his grandson. The truth, since few years ago, Yang Guang cultivation has surpassed even his own. It was said that the Yang ancestor also has a high talent and mastery in cultivation. In fact, the cultivation that practice by the Yang clan is fundamentally different from the rest of the cultivator. This cultivation method left by the Yang ancestor, and it has been coveted by many. However according to legend, the Yang ancestor has killed those that coveted the cultivation method and single-handedly build the Yang Clan from nothing to an important clan in cultivator world. It was also stated that the Yang Ancestor not really belong to original Yang clan but someone that the Yang family head at the time save and bring into the family lineage when he show such a great talent in cultivation. There was also another secret that only the Yang Family Patriarch would know after taking over the position, the Yang ancestor that was saved had lost his memory and does not remember anything of his past. In fact, when he was found, he was covered with heavy injury, but no one know including Yang ancestor how he get that injury.
Nonetheless, this is a secret that had been guarded by every generation of Yang patriarch. Only selective clan member with talent that identified using the method left by the Yang ancestor will have the right to practice the cultivation method left by him. It is not that they are wary, however the method has such heavy and rigorous requirements. In his lineage, only his second son can practice it to certain extend. Yang Guang father, Yang Yuting does not have the talent, nor he is interested to practice it. Thus, it is quite irony that all his three children born with talent in cultivation, specifically Yang Guang. But it is not something that they ever disclosed or share to the outsider. For the rest of cultivators, Yang Guang is a just a young talented cultivator.
There is a saying, 'only living talented cultivator can left his mark in the world.' Due to envy and foul play, most talented cultivator only lived to certain ages and does not live long enough to leave their mark in the world. If Yang Guang uncommon cultivation prowess known by many, Yang Hong afraid his grandson would become the target of many, both friends and foes alike.
Yang family has long held quite a higher standing in cultivator world. If Yang Guang ability make known to many, those that has always uneasy feeling about the Yang will take an extreme action by eliminating such a talented young bud before he can rise and become another powerful cultivator of the Yang clan.
Nonetheless, this is not the time for Yang Hong to worry about his clan matter. This boy that can emits massive yin energy definitely a headache inducing for him. However, Cheng Jiayi is their family benefactor. The karmic tie between him and Yang Clan would not allow Yang Hong to abandon him to these old foxes. Besides, with Yang Guang attitude toward the teenager, he has taking Cheng Jiayi under his own and will protect him from anything untoward.
So now, what should he really do to help the boy and at the same time resolve the issue with the ghost that still congregated outside. When they walk toward this wardroom, they all can hear the complaint of the hospital worker and other occupants about how cold the hospital are. They all know the reason of such cold temperatures is due to the heavy yin energy release by the congregated ghost outside. Long exposure to Yin energy will cause manic, delusions and other harmful adverse effects to living human. Their behaviour will change drastically and may cause harm to those that closer to him. For now, the hospital occupant is protected by a blessed relic. They also has masked the congregated ghost with protective enchantment so it will not harm passer-by. It is quite lucky Tonghua hospital not located in housing estate or living apartments and surrounded by office building that usually close at the noon.
"If there is no other way, benefactor Cheng can take a shelter in Jiu En temple. Maybe with practising Buddhist teaching and mantra can ease the Yin energy he release," Master Hui Cheng give his opinion to the matter. "Beside no ghost or demon could enter the Yaksha Gate of Jiu En Temple."
"He can also take refuge in Baiyun monastery. He can practice the three way of Daoism to help balanced the Yin and Yang nature of his physical. Besides, mountain celestial protection circle would purify any ghost that try to breach it," this time it is the celestial master You that make his suggestion while looking at Cheng Jiayi.
"Hei why should he do all that. With such massive yin energy, he shall try to learn to control it and harnessed it. If he can manipulate the energy, he can control practically any ghosts or demons out there," Tantai Ying does not want to be left behind and give his own pitched.
"That is such a deviant and harmful practice !" the old Taoist beside master You reproach Tantai Ying idea immediately. The ghost cultivator pouted angrily after hearing it. Mu Ying and Li Tai keep their silence. It is clear that Li Tai stand behind patriarch Yang. Meanwhile Mu Ying act like all this does not bother him at all. Only his pair of eyes keep scrutinizing Cheng Jiayi and have a deep pondering about something that no one in the wardroom know about.
"I back your pardon Master and fellow Daoist. Cheng Jiayi will not go anywhere that he would not agree or be keep in captive. He is the benefactor of Yang family; thus, Yang family will be responsible on matter related to Cheng Jiayi."
That voice sure sounds like a lightning in the middle of the heated debate among the 'extraordinary old men'. Cheng Jiayi whose face has long change from worry to confuse then alarmed when hearing all kind of suggestions from these old men, brightened up when hearing Yang Guang word. Despite of his no-nonsense and impassive tone, for Cheng Jiayi that is the most beautiful voice he has ever listened in his life at this current situations. Just call him bias and tone deaf, he care naught. He rather believe in Yang Guang than the rest of these cosplayer old men.
"Yes, yes I definitely agree. I want to stay with Yang Guang," without a moment of hesitation, he hold Yang Guang arm tightly and speak this word of his.
At the background, both Yang Guang and Cheng Jiayi can hear Fushe chortle himself out loud.
