Today, a couple came to He Yingqiu's house. They said that they didn't know what was wrong with their child. He hadn't said a word since a few days ago. Even when facing the two of them, their eyes were calm. The two of them thought that the child had suffered some grievances outside. They didn't expect to see their child bite their pet rabbit to death today. They were so scared that they ran out of the house immediately. They remembered that the neighbors told them that He Yingqiu was an expert in exorcism, so they came here to ask for help.
"The two of you, remember carefully. When your child changed, did you buy anything special at home?”He Yingqiu was not in a hurry to go over. He just killed a rabbit. Although it was bitten to death, based on his experience, with the Yang qi in the blood of a living creature to resist, it could alleviate the evil and Yin qi. There was still some time before the next attack. He first asked about the process of the matter and knew more so that he could prescribe the right medicine.
"A few days ago, I bought a mirror and a few small accessories from Moro Street (Hong Kong Antique Market). Oh right, there's also a Peace Pendant that's hanging on my son's body. It wasn't worth much, and it was just to keep them safe. Who knew that they would encounter such a thing? Master, could it be that there was something in the safety pendant?”Hearing He Yingqiu's question, the man thought for a moment and quickly listed out the items that he had bought most recently that might have "dirty things".
"Perhaps, but it's hard to say. Because there's actually no evil aura on the two of you. However, something happened to your son, so we had no choice but to make a trip. It was better to take a look before making plans. Let's talk about the price."
He Yingqiu discussed the price with the two of them and called Lin Yang over. He asked Lin Yang to carry the items for work, such as a compass, cinnabar, a peach wood sword, a jar of black dog blood, and a pile of talisman papers. After packing up, she followed the couple to their house. (Mao You should be in school now. From Ma Xiaoling's memories of her youth, the exorcist should also go to class normally.)
When he opened the door, the first thing he saw was a trail of blood from the door to the living room. There was also a small " bloody handprint " on the living room wall. The " bloody handprint " emitted a powerful ghostly aura, mixed with a strong resentment. Lin Yang's intuition told him that it should be a ghost, and it was the kind that was imprisoned by a secret technique but accidentally released.
He asked the couple to wait outside while He Yingqiu pulled the flute sword into the house. Following the compass, Xiao Jian walked in the direction of the needle.
This family was considered wealthy. It was a single-family house. In a place like Hong Kong where there were many people and little land, it was very difficult to have a single-family house. The floor was covered with oak, the walls were large tiles, and the living room was a kitchen with a staircase in the corner. It was a two-story building.
Just as he walked into the living room, Xiao Jian was stopped by He Yingqiu,""Ah 'Jian, what do you think of this ghost's strength?”
"I feel that his strength is only average, but he should have been imprisoned in that Safety Pendant by a secret technique. It can make people give the illusion that they are being possessed by ghosts, preventing other ghosts from coveting their bodies. It can also effectively protect the person wearing the Safety Pendant from evil things approaching.”Xiao Jian answered He Yingqiu based on what the male client had said and his own understanding of the " bloody handprint ".
"Then can you deal with it yourself?" He Yingqiu asked.
"It's alright, there shouldn't be much of a problem. Unless there's an accident, other than a bit of resentment, the ghost energy isn't worth mentioning at all. It's just a few decades old thing, Mao You's power should be able to handle it.”Xiao Jian replied.
"Alright, I'll wait outside. This time, I'll let you deal with this matter alone. It can be considered a hurdle for you to finish your apprenticeship.”He Yingqiu said to Xiao Jian and walked out.
Xiao Jian followed the direction of the compass and went up the stairs. He went straight to the second floor and opened the door of a room. He saw a seven or eight-year-old child with a green face. His originally cute little face looked a little ferocious because of the color of his face. His eyes were abnormally red, and there were blood stains left behind by drinking rabbit blood at the corner of his mouth. There were two tufts of rabbit white fur stuck on it.
At the child's feet was a shriveled rabbit corpse. Although it was white and furry, it might have been cute when it was alive. But now, it was shriveled up, making it hard for people to take a second look.
When Xiao Jian entered the room, the compass had already been put away. When the child saw Xiao Jian enter, he first took a step back in fear. Then, as if he remembered something, he stood where he was. Looking at the flute sword, the red eyes emitted waves of killing intent, the green skin emitted a sense of killing intent, and the blood at the corner of the mouth had a sense of resentment. However, the ghost qi emitted from its entire body was a little weak, and it really did not look like a ghost that had taken over its body.
"Lin!"
With a loud shout, the Daoist's Nine Words Mantra was shouted out, and the killing intent on the child's body weakened a little.
"Bing, Dou, Zhe, All, Array, Line, Front, Move.”
When he finished shouting the Nine Words Mantra, the killing intent in the child's eyes was gone, but the killing intent on his body immediately increased by several times.
"Vile creature, I'm here, yet you still dare to increase your baleful aura in an attempt to destroy the host's soul.”Xiao Jian frowned. A yellow talisman had appeared in his hand. He chanted a spell to wake the child up. His feet did not stop. He came in front of the child and was about to stick the talisman on the child's forehead.
Who knew that the child who was originally standing still would smile strangely at the flute sword when the talisman approached his body. The baleful aura and resentment on his body soared again. His figure flickered and disappeared.
Xiao Jian was not in a hurry. He had an hour anyway. It had only been five minutes since he went upstairs and drank the Nine Words Mantra and the Awakening Mantra.
The fifteen-year-old young Taoist master held the compass in his left hand and took the Seven Star Steps. His right hand pointed at the needle in the center of the compass, looking for the hiding place of the resentful ghost.
But this time, the needle pointed down again. In the blink of an eye, the child had moved downstairs. Following the needle, he came to a room downstairs. As soon as he opened it, the resentment rushed straight into the room. The room was filled with ghostly qi. If it was not a Taoist master but an ordinary person who came in here, the moment he opened the room, his consciousness would be eroded by the huge resentment. Then, he would be attracted by the ghostly qi and become the nourishment of the ghost. Ignoring the soaring resentment and the ghostly qi that filled the entire room, Lin Yang only followed the compass needle and found what he was looking for.
This room was a grocery store, but it was not an ordinary junk. According to Xiao Jian, the things inside were more or less stained with a trace of ghost qi or resentment. Moreover, judging from the age, they were not modern items. Combined with the client's previous statement that the child suddenly changed after he bought some small things from the antique market, it could be seen that there were some antiques here, but the ages were different.
When he came to a mirror, the compass in Xiao Jian's hand stopped shaking. He put down the compass and looked at the mirror. The mirror only reflected his own shadow, but to the Taoist master, as long as the compass pointed to the place, it was the place where the evil thing was.
He formed a seal with both hands and put his right index finger and middle finger together. He pointed at his forehead and a golden light seemed to flash. Xiao Jian felt a pain between his eyebrows, but the mirror in his eyes was different.
This move was called the Heavenly Eye. Cultivators would have it when they reached a certain level. However, some people would show it to the outside world, such as Yang Jian and Wen Zhong in the Apotheosis. Most people hid it in their bodies. For example, Nezha, who had just learned the Three Heads and Six Arms, opened his Heavenly Eye automatically. However, he did not show it to the outside world. It made people look down on him and use him as a trump card.
The flute sword was considered to be gifted. After all, it was a person who had transmigrated and had natural dao bones. It was very easy for him to cultivate this divine power.
He opened his Heavenly Eye, but Xiao Jian was no longer in the mirror. There was a space similar to the room upstairs where two children were playing. However, one of the children had a dagger in his hand and his eyes were white. He glanced at Lin Yang and revealed a terrifying smile before turning to play with the other child.
The other child was obviously the son who had changed according to the client. It seemed that this child had been here for the past few days. To Lin Yang, catching ghosts was not a difficult task. The rare thing was how to catch this little ghost while protecting the child.
He turned around and closed the door. The bag on his back automatically untied. He picked up cinnabar in his left hand and a brush in his right hand. With cinnabar stuck to it, he wrote the Daoist 'seal' spell on the door. Then, he pasted talismans on the surrounding walls in turn, cleaned up the area in front of the mirror, spread a yellow cloth, lit an incense burner, red candles, three large incense sticks, and placed the peach wood sword and talisman paper. A suggested altar was set up.
The Taoist method of setting up an altar was usually to use a three-foot-three-inch altar covered with a bright yellow cloth with the Eight Trigrams painted on it. All kinds of tributes were available. However, now that they were in a storeroom like this, it was already a waste of time to clean up the junk. Moreover, they were also fiddling with the altar. They really couldn't care less about the height. After all, it was just a resentful ghost. Even if they didn't set up the altar, they could still subdue it. However, in order to save the child, they had to enter the Mirror World. It was inevitable for them to be injured if they entered with the flesh and blood of a mortal. The flute sword wanted to summon the ghosts of the five directions, enter the mirror world, pull out the children, and subdue the resentful ghosts.
"Ghosts of the Five Directions, heed my command. Quickly show yourself, as ordered." The flute sword formed a seal and summoned the ghosts of the five directions. In less than half a minute, five people dressed in black Death God attire appeared beside Xiao Jian.
"There are resentful ghosts causing trouble today. I summon you all to help me subdue the demons.”Xiao Jian gave a direct order. His movements were not slow. The tallest of the five walked towards Xiao Jian and entered his body. Xiao Jian then nodded to the other four Death Gods, signaling for the start.
The four Death Gods looked at each other and a red line appeared on each of their bodies. The end of the red line was in Xiao Jian's hand, which was used to control the four Death Gods.
The red line vibrated, and the four Death Gods walked to the mirror and entered it one by one. In the Mirror World, the terrifying child and the client's son were still playing, as if they did not notice the arrival of the four Death Gods.
However, it seemed that he had gone too far. He grabbed the client's son with his left hand and extended the dagger in his right hand to the client's son's neck. He gently cut it, but there was not a drop of blood.
When the Grim Reaper had entered the Mirror World, Xiao Jian had already seen this through the red rope. He sucked in a breath of cold air. This was too abnormal.
It turned out that in Xiao Jian's memories, there was a spell that could ensure one's safety for a hundred years and allow the clan to prosper. However, the method was against the heavens and retribution would appear in the next life.
First, he would find a child born on the same day as his child. On their birthdays, a Taoist priest with profound magic power would peel off the skin of the selected child and make a Heaven and Man Mirror. The mirror would be placed in the owner's house to report the owner's health, longevity, and wealth. Then, he would gouge out the chosen child's throat and pour silver on the outside to bless the child with all kinds of diseases and intelligence. The remaining corpses were useless. The best ending was to find a safe place in the ancient mass grave. However, after suffering such torture, the soul on the body was taken away with the creation of the safety pendant and the human skin behind the mirror, which was divided into two parts.
The consequence of doing so was that he would be rich in this life, but in his next life, he would encounter these two objects again. If he did not bring the Peace Pendant with him, nothing would happen in front of the mirror. However, the owner of this house gave the Peace Pendant to his child. Then, the delivery man from the antique market came and looked at the mirror. He directly activated the vengeful soul in it. The two souls, which were originally separated, merged into one, and the sky-reaching resentment lay dormant on the child. On the seventh day, he began to take revenge on his previous life's enemies, who were now the client's family.
How could the flute sword recognize such a cursed wraith? When the resentful ghost slashed the dagger across the child's neck, there was no blood dripping from the neck. However, the child's neck was exposed. There was a layer of skin below the neck. In other words, the client's child's skin was wrapped around the resentful ghost. Although it was only the neck, it was enough for Lin Yang to recognize the source of the curse and find a solution. There was no solution.
This kind of resentment could not be resolved by persuasion. It could only be resolved by the effect of Daoist techniques and mantras.
The Ghost of Five Regions entered the Mirror World and fished out the client's child, but he let the vengeful spirit escape and go deeper into the Mirror World.
After sending the child out of the room, Xiao Jian closed the door and continued to catch the ghost. He did not say that the mission was completed, which meant that he had to completely get rid of this little ghost.
Xiao Jian looked at the resentful ghost spirit in front of him. Although there was pity in his eyes for the tragedy of his previous life, it was not much. When would revenge end? The right thing to do was to resolve the power of resentment and send him to reincarnate. After sending the Five Realm Ghosts away, the Xiao Sword removed the altar. On the ground was a bright yellow cloth with the word "swastika" on it. It was the Ksitigarbha's Great Samsara Set. He chanted the Heart Cleansing Mantra and formed the Daoist Mantra Seal with his hands. He shot out a green light at the little ghost. The green light shone on the vengeful spirit's body, and a thick black fog appeared on its body. Under the green light of the flute sword, it gradually thinned and faded, and finally disappeared. The vengeful spirit's expression slowly calmed down from its initial ferocity. It then turned peaceful and bowed to the Xiao Sword, thanking it for resolving the power of resentment.
His hands didn't stop moving, and a talisman appeared. Xiao Jian shouted,""Reincarnation passage, open. Hurry up and obey the law."
The bright yellow cloth rolled and a lift appeared in front of the flute sword and the vengeful spirit. The elevator opened and a kind and formally dressed guide walked out.
"When did the Inferno become so advanced? Uncle." Xiao Jian was not surprised. It was not the first or second time he had dealt with this envoy, but he did not expect a lift to appear this time. "The netherworld has to keep up with the times. Brat, what is it this time?”The envoy was obviously very familiar with the flute sword.
"Here." Xiao Jian pointed at the little ghost beside him and said,"In my previous life, it was made into a safety pendant, a guardian demon god." Now, they have been punished and found us. They are filled with resentment. He was very pitiful. He would find a good family for him in his next life.”"Yes, I found it. It meets the entry requirements. As for the matter of reincarnation, I'll inform him. Then, little friend, come to your uncle.”The guide checked the entry book of the underworld and found that the vengeful spirit met the entry rules. He waved his hand to let the vengeful spirit pass.
"Go, this uncle is a very good person. Be obedient.”Xiao Jian stroked the little vengeful spirit's head and said. The vengeful spirit nodded and walked towards the lift. Just as it was about to enter the lift, it turned around and knelt down before the flute sword. It kowtowed three times before entering the lift. After the matter was settled, they collected the money and called it a day.
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. Due to Lin Yang's outstanding performance in the past two years, He Yingqiu had taken on more and more jobs. He had made a lot of money and saved up some money by letting the two of them work separately.
When they arrived at the arcade, Uncle Qiu was cleaning up. He didn't even look at Tian Chen. Tian Chen didn't say anything and just sat in front of a machine and started playing video games.
"What a rare guest. Why are you free to come over today?”
Nothing. I want to go to the United States to experience university life. I'm studying soul studies at Princeton Theological Seminary.
