The master was cutting meat.
Hearing me speak like this just then, his previously relaxed expression instantly froze.
His hand, which was cutting meat, also stopped.
He then turned his head to look at me, his brows furrowed tightly.
Even the little fox looked at me with surprise.
Afterward, Master spoke very seriously:
"For three consecutive nights, you've dreamt of the yellow weasel coming to claim your life?"
Seeing Master's serious expression, I had a premonition that something was wrong.
I felt that there was indeed a problem behind this matter.
I nodded:
"Yes, that's right! Three nights. My sleep has also been affected these days, not very good."
Master directly put down the knife in his hand.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at me.
He even circled around me, looking.
That gaze made me feel uneasy all over.
"Master, what are you looking at?"
Master didn't speak. Finally, he grabbed his right hand and, disregarding the oil on it, clenched it tightly.
In an instant, I felt a surge of immense Dao energy erupt from Master's body.
The next second, a warm current flowed directly into my body.
That feeling made me very uncomfortable.
It even made my soul tremble.
I felt a sense of unease.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Master, however, spoke very seriously:
"Don't move."
Master's stern reprimand, coupled with the intensifying Dao energy fluctuations.
That oppressive feeling made me very uncomfortable.
Seeing the usually flippant Master suddenly so serious.
His entire aura had changed.
That powerful aura surged out, constantly pouring into my body.
Master told me not to move, so I could only endure it, not daring to move.
Xiao Mei also stared at me vigilantly, retreating a few steps.
About ten seconds later, I suddenly felt something abnormal within my body.
My body trembled violently.
I felt like something was moving inside me.
Yes, moving within my body.
It felt like it was pushing against me, a very strange sensation...
Meanwhile, my Master's eyes widened, revealing a look of horror:
"It really is this thing..."
I started to panic.
Because I truly felt something inside my body.
However, I didn't know what it was.
The fear of the unknown made me a bit flustered.
"Master, what is this thing inside me? I just felt it moving."
After speaking, Master suddenly let go.
He formed a hand seal and pointed a finger at my glabella:
"It's a Yao Yuan."
"Yao, Yao Yuan?"
I was completely bewildered, hearing this term for the first time.
Master was still pointing at my glabella, and at this moment, he didn't answer.
Instead, he kept his finger on my glabella and pulled it backward.
He growled in a low voice:
"Come out!"
With this shout, bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes.
But even more terrifying was that a faint yellow weasel phantom was actually being pulled out from my glabella.
Seeing this, my face instantly turned pale.
"Master, what is that thing?"
Because I had never experienced anything like this, I became extremely anxious and uneasy.
The little fox also lowered its head, baring its fangs and emitting a low growl, "Wuwuwu."
Master, however, remained solemn:
"It's that yellow weasel's resentment. If it's not pulled out, it will eventually cause your mind to become abnormal."
After speaking, he formed another hand seal with his other hand.
He pointed at the yellow weasel phantom again:
"Come out!"
Master's fingers were trembling; it was clear he was exerting great effort.
Although I was very panicked, at this moment, I tried my best to remain calm and still.
So as not to interfere with Master's ritual.
And that faint yellow weasel phantom, being pulled out by my Master, was continuously struggling.
Visibly, it was trying to shrink back into my body.
It made my neck tense, and my teeth grind with a "ge ge ge" sound.
This process lasted for about ten minutes.
Master clapped his hands together, grabbed the yellow weasel's tail, and pulled it out forcefully:
"Get out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, that phantom yellow weasel.
Was abruptly pulled out of my body.
At that instant, I felt my soul tremble again.
A wave of dizziness suddenly washed over me.
Master, however, grabbed the phantom yellow weasel by the neck.
The yellow weasel's eyes glowed green.
It struggled incessantly, baring its teeth.
Although it made no sound, it looked terrifying.
It still wanted to rush back into my body.
But now, held by Master's grip on its neck, it was difficult to break free.
"Xiao Qin, this is what was causing your nightmares."
Master held it in his hand and showed it to me.
I steadied myself and looked closely.
It had no soul power, nor demonic energy, only form without essence.
For a moment, I couldn't even identify what kind of thing it was.
"Master, what exactly is this thing, and how did it get into my body? And why did it make me have nightmares?"
Master stared at the phantom yellow weasel in his hand and said:
"This thing is called Yao Yuan. It's an emotional manifestation that only arises when a demon dies.
Their emotions will transform into the shape of their original form.
Once this thing enters a host's body, it will affect the host's spirit.
After forty-nine days, the host will die due to mental derangement.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time."
After speaking, Master squeezed it with his hand.
With a "pop,"
Like a balloon bursting, the "Yao Yuan" in Master's hand instantly turned into air and dissipated.
Watching the vanishing Yao Yuan, I felt a sense of tension and dread.
It seemed my understanding of demons was still too little.
I thought I had dealt with the Demon Den's Carefree Tower cleanly and efficiently.
But who would have known that not only did a demon soul escape, but I myself was invaded by a Yao Yuan.
If I hadn't been cautious and informed Master of my situation, the consequences would have been truly unimaginable.
At the same time, I realized how insufficient I was.
In the future, besides improving my cultivation, I must also continuously increase my knowledge of various Daoist techniques and general knowledge...
