Yin Yang Demon Suppression
Due to being used by Anbei for experimentation and absorption, or for disassembling souls as cannon fodder, their souls are actually incomplete. According to the rules of the Underworld, incomplete souls cannot be reincarnated and cannot enter the gates of the Underworld. They can only find the missing part of their soul or wait several decades for their soul to recover. (Note: A single individual can only exist once, and the same goes for the soul. If a part of the soul is lost, recovery in one place will result in a decrease in another.)
This regulation may seem somewhat unreasonable, but it is unavoidable. If an incomplete soul were to be reincarnated while another part of that soul also arrived, what would happen? Would it reincarnate or not? It would definitely cause chaos, and a child born from an incomplete soul would surely have some prior ailments, either being mentally impaired or physically deformed.
However, the most crucial issue at hand is how to allow these incomplete souls to reincarnate. There are indeed methods available, such as the Sweet Dew spell that previously helped Scar recover from his injuries. Although the consumption is not great, given the number of individuals involved, the required magical power is not insignificant. Of course, Ye Mingshang is not worried about insufficient magical power; he has plenty. Moreover, no one expects him to complete everything in one go; if necessary, he can just do it multiple times.
"Alright, everyone quiet down," Ye Mingshang shouted. However, those who were either happy, sad, or angry did not quiet down and continued chattering.
Ye Mingshang raised an eyebrow in irritation. Well, after all this effort to save you all, this is how you treat your savior? Come on!
"Do you still want to reincarnate?! If not, I’m leaving!"
This shout was indeed effective; the crowd immediately fell silent and looked at Ye Mingshang with eager eyes.
This tactic worked well; truly, personal matters outweigh even great earthly concerns. Sighing inwardly, Ye Mingshang cleared his throat and spoke loudly.
"I believe you all know that your souls are incomplete and that incomplete souls cannot enter the Underworld for reincarnation. I have a way to restore your souls, but it requires your cooperation."
"Okay! Whatever you say, we will follow your instructions."
"Yes, we will listen to you."
"Please help us; we don’t want to remain as wandering spirits anymore."
"Arigato gozaimasu!"
The sudden outburst of Japanese ignited a powder keg of emotions and immediately drew everyone's attention. Looking at those Japanese Invaders who had cruelly killed them, they could hardly contain their desire to devour these despicable creatures alive.
"Japanese Kid, what does this have to do with you?!"
"God saved us, and you still refuse to accept it? How dare you curse the divine mother to death?!"
"Japanese Kid, after all the suffering you've caused my grandfather over the years, I will make sure you pay for it."
"Big Yellow, go and bite him to death!"
...
Seeing this scene, Ye Mingshang felt helpless. Face had shattered the peace here, and how could they remain calm after the brutal killing of all the villagers? Moreover, after taking lives, their souls had suffered so much; how could they let go of this hatred and resentment?
Although forcing them to stop was somewhat inhumane, it was necessary. If this continued, their emotions would ignite further, and the situation would spiral out of control. Besides, time was running short, and he couldn't afford to waste any more here.
"Everyone shut up! If you keep talking, I'm leaving!"
With Ye Mingshang's loud shout, the crowd gradually quieted down. Although they temporarily ceased their outbursts, their expressions were still filled with anger and unwillingness. Ye Mingshang took all of this in and spoke up to calm them.
"Don't worry; they won't escape punishment. After I perform the rite for them, they will enter the Underworld with you. The retribution they deserve will not be spared. They committed heinous acts in life and will surely suffer in the Underworld. You have endured too much suffering; your rewards will come when you arrive there. Rest assured."
Hearing this, everyone finally quieted down. Though they felt unwilling, they could only hold it in. Each one reassured themselves that there was no need to argue with them; they would get what they deserved in the Underworld!
"Alright, now everyone line up properly in layers. Otherwise, I won't be able to cast my spell. Those Japanese can't understand human language; you need to help them stand correctly," Ye Mingshang said loudly.
"Okay, we will follow your instructions."
"Everyone listen to the divine being and stand properly; don't disturb the divine being's spellcasting!"
"Brothers, come help me with those Japanese Devils!"
"Thank you, divine being!"
A crowd of thousands busily lined up for about ten minutes before they were mostly in place. After all, they were just ordinary farmers and could not be as quick and efficient as trained soldiers. As for the Japanese Army? Even if they understood Chinese, how high could their quality be expected to be?
Looking at the scattered lines in the sky, Ye Mingshang sighed helplessly and glanced at the fat man, calling out to him.
"Fatty, take me up."
"Sure thing!"
The fat man responded and used the Sword Control Technique to fly Ye Mingshang into the air on a Flying Sword.
Once they reached a suitable position, Ye Mingshang took out a bottle containing a light green viscous liquid. The bottle had an opening like an eye dropper. He then pulled out a piece of green talisman paper from his pocket, gently pinching it in his palm to smooth it out with his magical power.
He then began to draw on the talisman paper using the bottle as a pen. Although this method of writing was not comfortable, he controlled his strength very well; he did not press down hard on the bottle, barely touching it. Instead, he lightly pressed the body of the bottle to let the liquid flow out and touch the talisman paper. This allowed the liquid to adhere to the paper, moving along with the bottle's movement.
Half a minute later, as he completed the last stroke, the talisman paper flashed with green light. The once ordinary talisman paper suddenly became transparent and crystal-like. The liquid printed on it looked like an insect trapped in amber. But that was not all; Ye Mingshang bit his finger and dripped a drop of his blood into it.
As soon as that drop of blood touched the talisman paper, it was absorbed. With the blood's infusion, the paper changed from fluorescent green to a slight red hue, almost imperceptible at first glance.
"Why are you still dripping blood? Does this technique require blood?" The fat man looked at Ye Mingshang's actions with confusion.
Master's Blood is different from ordinary blood; it contains rich magical power and vitality. Generally speaking, Master's Blood is very precious and should not be used lightly. Moreover, while Master's Blood has strong vitality, it can be extremely harmful to spirits and ghosts. Using it in this Spirit Talisman could harm those souls.
"The carrier is different; thus, its effects are different. Arsenic can heal when used correctly but can be deadly when misapplied," Ye Mingshang replied.
After finishing one talisman, he did not rush to use it but instead stored it away and continued drawing a second one using the same method. Each time he drew one, he also dripped a drop of his blood onto it. About ten minutes later, Ye Mingshang had drawn 18 talismans. Seeing that he had enough, he stopped working.
Calling out to the fat man, Ye Mingshang began preparing to cast his spell. His hands quickly formed seals that left behind a series of illusions, resembling fingers dancing gracefully—a sight to behold.
"Sorrowful Long Night's Suffering; Heat Disturbance in the Three Paths; Raging Flames Erupt from the Throat; always thinking of hunger and thirst; sprinkle Sweet Dew for refreshing coolness; sprinkle Dharmic Water for great spiritual awakening; sprinkle Compassion Water to nourish all."
A voice filled with compassion seemed to resonate beside him as he took out a piece of translucent green talisman paper tinged with red. He gently shook it in his hand, letting sparkling points of light fall like Guanyin Bodhisattva saving those in suffering, waving a jade bottle while sprinkling water to relieve people in need.
Some may think that Guanyin Bodhisattva is female, and it seems unmanly for a man like Ye Mingshang to perform such actions. However, this is not the case; in Chinese texts, Guanyin is depicted as a female figure, while in the Buddha Realm, Guanyin is male.
"All phenomena have no fixed form, neither male nor female; all women are likewise. Although appearing in female form, they are not female."
In the secular world, there is a significant distinction and bias regarding gender. However, Guanyin Bodhisattva possesses boundless spiritual powers and is omnipresent, embodying great compassion without discrimination. The thirty-two manifestations of Guanyin that rescue beings do not differentiate between male and female forms. To facilitate the teaching of various sentient beings, Guanyin adapts to different cultural backgrounds, customs, and preferences, manifesting in diverse forms to aid them. This includes both male and female appearances, but these gender representations are merely convenient adaptations; in essence, there is no distinction of gender.
Returning to the main topic:
The numerous azure souls below were glowing under the nourishment of the Sweet Dew-like Crystal Light. Each soul that received the nourishment from the crystal points appeared to be enjoying themselves, feeling their originally incomplete essence gradually replenished until restored to its original state. They felt joy and gratitude in their hearts.
One by one, they floated up and knelt down, calling out words of praise for the living deity who rescues suffering beings.
There were too many of them. Although their levels were low and they did not require many crystal points for restoration, there is a significant difference between being incomplete and simply being injured. Previously, healing the scar required a Spirit Talisman; let alone these souls. Fortunately, they did not need as much energy as the scar did, and these Spirit Talismans were of a different level than the previous one.
With so many demands from those in need, a Spirit Talisman was quickly consumed. Without hesitation, Ye Mingshang took out a second one and continued to distribute it. The process of restoring the souls lasted for two hours in total; fortunately, there were enough Spirit Talismans available, and he even had one left over at the end.
Since he had restored their souls, the next step was naturally to guide them to transcendence. Given that their malevolent energy had been eliminated, it was no longer necessary to forcefully send them for reincarnation; he only needed to open an entrance for them to leave on their own.
