The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 316 Becoming Immortal
Ye Baichi was stunned. "Are you talking about a weasel?"
"That's right, a weasel!"
Master Huang nodded slightly, speaking solemnly.
Ye Baichi's face was filled with horror. In folk legends, there were five kinds of immortal beings: Yellow Fox, White Willow, and Grey. The 'Yellow' of these was the weasel, commonly known as the Yellow Immortal.
And the Yellow Immortal, among these five great immortal families, was the most mischievous.
In folklore, there are many legends of weasels possessing people, tricking them into giving alcohol and meat.
Remembering his father's binge-eating disorder, Ye Baichi deeply believed this and immediately trusted Master Huang's words.
However, he couldn't understand why his father, who was charitable, building bridges and roads, and making friends widely, and who even had a household shrine to the Guardian Immortal, would be possessed by a weasel.
But no matter what, Master Huang had been a great help today. Without him, he didn't know what he would have done.
He couldn't possibly rely on that young doctor introduced by Mayor Mo, right?
He quickly thanked him, "Master Huang, thank you so much today..."
Before Ye Baichi could finish speaking, Master Huang suddenly raised his hand and said, "Don't rush to thank me yet. It's not over!"
"Master Huang, what do you mean?"
Ye Baichi was immediately shocked.
Master Huang said calmly, "I only used a spiritual pill to temporarily scare away that evil creature, but I haven't solved the problem at its root."
Ye Baichi was frightened when he heard this.
"Master Huang, do you have any more of those miraculous pills? What if my father is possessed by that evil creature again?"
Master Huang sneered and said, "If you don't get rid of that evil creature, what's the use of preparing more pills for you? Sooner or later, it will come back to pester your father!"
"Although the yellow weasel is called Yellow Immortal, it's at most just an evil creature with a little bit of demonic magic. They can't really possess humans, but only rely on brainwaves to influence human behavior."
"So, since your father is being influenced by that evil creature, it means that the evil creature must be nearby!"
As he spoke, Master Huang suddenly raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
This room was an antique building, and the ceiling of the room was not covered with a false ceiling. Behind the golden nanmu beams, a small fellow with a pointed head and rat-like eyes revealed its head!
It was a yellow weasel!
"Evil creature, let's see where you can run!"
Master Huang formed a sword with two fingers and pointed sharply, sending a yellow light straight towards the weasel!
The weasel understood human nature, and a look of horror appeared on its face. It rolled along the beam, barely dodging the yellow light, but its body fell to the ground with a thud.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak..."
The weasel let out a series of strange cries and ran away!
"Evil creature, where are you going!"
Master Huang shouted again and chased after it.
He was short and extremely agile. He didn't look like an old man at all, but like an old cat that had seen a mouse.
The weasel was immediately frightened, raised its two front paws and stood up, not daring to move.
However, just as Master Huang reached out to grab it, the weasel let out another burst of frantic squeaking.
Accompanied by this hair-raising cry, a cloud of earthy-yellow smoke suddenly spurted out of its body.
No one could have imagined that its small body could eject such a huge amount of smoke.
The earthy-yellow smoke instantly blocked Master Huang's view and spread out.
This earthy-yellow smoke was extremely foul-smelling, like the smell of rotten eggs in the dog days of summer.
Everyone quickly covered their noses. If they were like this, it was unimaginable how much Master Huang, who was facing the smoke directly, would suffer.
At this moment, Master Huang's face was flushed red, and tears streamed down his face from the smoke.
"Such petty tricks, daring to show off in front of this old man..."
Master Huang said proudly, but he regretted it as soon as he opened his mouth.
The yellow smoke floated into his mouth, almost making him vomit out his dinner from the night before.
However, this Master Huang really had some skills. He shook off his long robe and fanned it, creating gusts of wind.
The yellow smoke disappeared without a trace in the gusts of wind.
And at the same time, the weasel had also disappeared. It had taken advantage of the yellow smoke to confuse everyone and had long since escaped.
Master Huang gnashed his teeth, his face full of annoyance. "That evil creature actually got away!"
"Cough, cough..."
Old Ye coughed a few times. He had recovered a little, but he still looked very weak.
"Dad, how are you..."
Ye Baichi didn't care about anything else and hurried to see Old Master Ye.
"I'm fine, I just feel a little tired..."
Old Ye said with a tired face.
"Then I'll help you go and rest!"
As he spoke, Ye Baichi was about to help his father up.
However, at this moment, Master Huang suddenly frowned and glared, reaching out to stop Ye Baichi. "Wait a minute!"
Ye Baichi's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he slapped Master Huang in the face!
*Pa!*
This slap was so powerful that it almost knocked Master Huang to the ground.
Before Master Huang could speak, Ye Gucheng became anxious and hurried over.
"Third Uncle, what are you doing?"
Master Huang shouted sharply, "Don't come over, he's not your Third Uncle anymore!"
"What?"
Ye Gucheng was stunned, and then he heard Ye Baichi say in a sinister voice, "Old man, you're really ruining my good deeds!"
Ye Gucheng was directly stunned. How did Third Uncle's voice become so strange?
At this time, Ye Baichi's voice was extremely shrill and full of insidious cunning, not his own voice at all.
"You evil creature, you're back, are you?"
Master Huang took out a talisman and stuck it towards Ye Baichi.
Now everyone understood that Ye Baichi had been possessed by the yellow weasel!
Moreover, unlike Old Ye, Ye Baichi had clearly lost his mind and was completely controlled by the yellow weasel.
Ye Baichi looked disdainfully at the talisman coming towards him and knocked it away with a wave of his hand.
"You want to subdue grandpa with such petty tricks? Don't even dream about it!"
Seeing this scene, Master Huang was shocked and immediately retreated. "Not good, this evil creature is not even afraid of talismans, it must have become an immortal!"
"Master Huang, what should we do?" Ye Gucheng shouted in fright.
Master Huang's eyes were stern as he said in a deep voice, "Exorcising demons and defending the Dao, I will do my best!"
Then, he drew a handful of copper coins and scattered them into the air.
The copper coins fell like raindrops, and when Master Huang grabbed them again, they had turned into a broken copper coin sword!
"Evil creature, take my sword!"
Master Huang held the copper coin short sword and stabbed at Ye Baichi.
Ye Baichi revealed a sinister smile, not dodging or avoiding, and grabbed the copper coin short sword with his open fingers.
Master Huang was dumbfounded, his face filled with horror.
"It's not even afraid of my Five Elements Sword, has this evil creature really become an immortal?"
"If you want to fight with grandpa, go back and cultivate for another hundred years!"
Ye Baichi sneered, and a burst of energy flashed across the hand that grabbed the copper coin short sword, directly hitting Master Huang's chest.
Master Huang spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards...
