Chapter 547.2: The Bronze Bow (2)


    Witalisman do thetrick? Li Mazis situation wasnt better than mine. Hewashit at his thigh since he didnt run fast enough. His trousers were burning. If the arrow had stabbed him a few centimeters higher, he would have had to kiss goodbye to his happiness.At thismoment, he was flustered.


    Ivegot it! That ghost wassensingour Yang energy to shoot us. As long as we concealed our Yang energy, she wouldnt haveatarget!


    With that thought, I didnt hesitate to put the Yang Concealing Talismans onour bodies. The female ghost became hesitant.The Yang Concealing Talisman worked efficiently. I gave Li Mazi a thumbs-up. I casually threw the Sirius Whip asideandslowlyapproachedthe female ghost.


    Sinceshe had lost sight of us, she was a little bewildered. She hoveredstill in the air. It wasa good timefor me to take action. When I was close enough to her, I took out a handful of cinnabar powder from my pocket and sprinkled it on her!


    It was toote for her to react or dodge my attack.When thecinnabar powder hit her, her bodysizzledandburned.


    She shot me a furious nce but she didnt attack me.It was now pastmidnight, the time whenshe had the thickest Yin energy. She knew she wasnt my equal enemynow. Her body shook. Then,she disappeared into thin air.


    I wanted to chase after her, but then Isawa strange bow on the floor.It was the bow where the female ghostresided. If the otherworldly item had appeared, I didnt need to follow her.


    I asked Li Mazi to watch the bow while I went to the bed to check on Mr. Jin. I heaved a sigh of relief when I found that he was breathing normally.


    After hearingthemotion, Ye Chenbroughtthe bodyguards upstairsand asked, What happened?


    Sincethe female ghost had left in fright andhadeven discarded the bow she was taking shelter in, I was certain that she wouldnt return tonight. I asked Ye Chen to go back to his room to sleep. Afterward, I turned on the deskmp and observed the bow.


    The bow seemedto be madeof bronze as I saw many patina spots on it. The arch part of the bow had a lot of carvings with some small animal totems.


    This bow seemed to be a weapon dedicated to the Manchurian archers. However, I didntfindanything from its appearance. When I touched it, Irealizedthe bowwasntsimple. The surface was rusty but it felt so smooth to the touch, just likewarm embers.


    I recalled what Ye Chen told me earlier. Mr. Jins madness surfacedafter he returned from a hunt in Mount Changbai. I thought ithadsomething to do with this bow. Now, I needed to wait until he woke up.


    Although I knew the female ghost wouldnt return, I still watched the bow through the night. When the first beam of the sunrise shone through the window, I exhaled in relief. I woke Li Mazi up and handed him the bow before going to my guest room to rest.


    WhenIwokeupter that day, Mr. Jin was also up. However, he had norecollectionof what he had done yesterday. He only said that hedidnt sleep welst night.


    I simply washed my face and asked Li Mazi to take the bow. I wanted to ask Mr. Jin some questions. Unexpectedly, before I could ask him, Mr. Jin had a skeptical look on his face and asked,How did you get my bow?


    Your bow?Where did you put your bow? I asked.


    After thest hunt, Ive kept it in my house, saidMr. Jin.


    I didnt want to hide thetruthfrom him,so I toldhim every detaboust nights encounter. Mr. Jin then called his wifeand askedher to open his storage chamber to see if the bronze bow was still there. His wife told him that his safe chamber was locked, butthe bow was gone


    What?! Mr. Jin slumped onto the ground, feelinghelpless. A momentter, he pulled himself together. However, his voice was pessimistic. Master Zhang, what should I do now?


    How did you get this bow?


    He shot a fearful nceatthe bow then told me his story. Many bigshotshad their hobbies. For example, some liked beautiful women, some like hunting, and others likedcollecting antiques. Mr. Jin happened to havetwohobbies. He liked hunting and collecting antiques.


    One time, he had returned from his hunt in Mount Changbai. Coincidentally, he saw a Manchurian uncle selling bows and arrows. He found them interesting. That bow captured his eyes at the first nce. He ended up buying the bowforten thousandrenminbi.


    He wenthuntingin Mount Changbai one more time to checkoutthe bow. After that hunting trip, the female ghost started to pester him. Mr. Jin looked regretful. He scoldedandcursedthe uncle who had sold the bow to him.


    I just smiled and didnt say anything. However, I disdained him. He didnt have good eyes andwas minghis mistake on the other person.


    Since we didnt have a good sleepst night, after brunch, we went to our room to rest. Before I drifted into sleep, I saw Li Mazi walking back and forth. Hisface looked worried as if hehadaburdenonhis mind.


    Hey, brother. Do you missyour wife? I teased him. However,he still wore a grimace. I recognized something was strange. I got upand talkedto him.


    LittleBrother Zhang, do you know what I encounteredst night? Li Mazi sounded as though he was about to cry. I foundthisstrange. Yesterday, we had been together the entire time. There was a timewhilehe was sleeping and I was watching the bow. However, there wasnt anything abnormboutthat time.


    It was almost morning when I heard some sweeping footsteps. I thought it was you, so I didnt pay attention. The footsteps then grew lighter. Afterward,I couldnt hear them anymore. I knew it didnt feel right. When I opened my eyes, Isaw a white shadow holding a sword. He wanted to kill me. I was lucky that I had the Yin and Yang Umbre near me. I used it to parry with him. Otherwise, you wouldntbe seeingyour brotherright now!


    After listening to Li Mazi, I felt shocked. The female ghost that attacked us yesterday wore Manchurian traditional clothes.Li Mazi had just told me that he was attacked by a white shadow.


    It meant there were at least two spirits in this vi.Sincethe white shadow wasnt sucked into the Yin and Yang Umbre, he was stronger than the female ghost.


    From what had happened yesterday, I could roughly conclude that the twospirits were strong enough that they could have easily killed Mr. Jin. It would be an easy task, likeflipping their hands.However,they didnt. They just kept torturing him.


    It was strange. I pondered, then discussed a n with Li Mazi.


    We slept through the morning. After lunch, I returned to my room andfollowedthe n.Li Mazi left the vi quietly.


    In thete afternoon,we heard the sound of a car engine from outside the vi. I took a lookthroughthe window. A car stopped and two men apanied an old woman out of the car.


    The womanappeared to bein her sixties, and she lookedsophisticated. The other two men were around forty years old. The three of them had inexplicable auras. I was curious about their identities. However, since Mr. Jin was a tycoon, it was normal that he had some ssy friends. I didnt pay attention to this group of people.


    Not long after Itucked intothe bed, I heard the sound of people throwing things downstairs. Then, I heard Mr. Jinquarrelingwith the old woman.


    I thought they would stop soon, but that didnt happen. I wanted to go downstairs to talk them out of the fight, but it was Mr. Jins business. It wasnt appropriate to put my nose intothis.


    Atthis moment, rushing footsteps came from the corridor. Ye Chen charged into the room. His face looked worried. He pantedand said, Master Zhang, my boss has lost control again


    What? I dashed downstairs without putting my shoes on.At thismoment, Mr. Jins eyes had turned blood red. Hisface was twisting. He looked fierce.


    He was holding a ss. It seemed he wanted to throw it atthat ssy old woman. The bodyguards were pressing onto him.


    Mr. Jin struggled hard. Hegazed at the old womanand screamed,Im going to kill you. Ill kill you all. You have to pay for myErniangs life!


    The other people were bewildered when they heard himscream. However, I thought I hadgaineda clue!
