Back in Wutong District, Su Xiaoniu's hometown, it was already dark at night, so I didn't go looking for Xuanxuan right away. I slept there for the night. Only in the quiet of Su Xiaoniu's hometown could I truly relax and have a good sleep.

If others knew that I slept so comfortably in an old house where someone had died, no one had lived there for years, and it was extremely eerie and scary, I'm afraid they would be scared to death, right?

Well, this is Su Xiaoniu’s hometown. Even if there is a ghost, it is only Su Xiaoniu, a unique female ghost.

The next day, I went to the Zhang family residence and happened to run into Uncle Zhang coming out with a wad of money. I saw him and said, "Uncle Zhang, are you playing mahjong with those old guys again?"

Uncle Zhang didn't react at first, clutching the money and about to go back. Suddenly, as if realizing it was me, he breathed a sigh of relief, forcing a smile from his stiff face as he said, "It's Xiaofei! You're finally back. Come on, let's go play some mahjong... My luck has been getting worse and worse since you were away, I always lose! Now that you're back, I'm going to give those old guys a good beating!"

Oh my god, I didn't come back to play mahjong with you! But I couldn't resist Uncle Zhang, so I had to play mahjong with him. It wasn't until noon that Uncle Zhang finally let me go and treated me to a big meal. In just one morning, he earned back all the money he lost during this period, which made him very happy.

While eating at the restaurant, I asked Uncle Zhang how Xuanxuan was doing. As soon as he mentioned Xuanxuan, his face turned a little worried: "Xuanxuan's health has been getting worse recently. She doesn't pay attention in class, and she's always sick and taking leave. Now she's lying in bed resting. Sigh... I'm so worried!"

I asked about the golden-haired old man and the mirror image. As long as the mirror image visits Xuanxuan every once in a while, nothing should happen, right?

Uncle Zhang shook his head and said, "It was fine the first few times, and the effect was obvious, but recently it hasn't worked."

I frowned and said, "Uncle Zhang, call the old man with golden hair and tell him that I have obtained the Suihou Ghost Pearl. Ask him to come back quickly with his mirror image to treat Xuanxuan."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhang's face lit up. He quickly called the golden-haired old man's address, but the person who answered was the mirror image. The golden-haired old man had disappeared. We told the mirror image to wait for the golden-haired old man to come directly to the Zhang family's house.

It wasn't until around three or four in the afternoon that the golden-haired old man finally arrived with his mirror image. I rolled my eyes and said, "Damn old man, you're finally here. Go treat Xuanxuan!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Let me see the beads first." The golden-haired old man walked up.

I took out the Suihou Ghost Pearl and handed it to the golden-haired old man. He looked at it left and right, up and down, and I was speechless. It's just a crystal clear thing, like a big pearl. What's so good about it?

After a long while, the golden-haired old man's eyes flickered as he exclaimed in admiration, "The pearl is an inch in diameter, pure white, and at night it shines like the moon, illuminating a room. It is indeed the genuine Sui Hou Ghost Pearl, one of the rarest ghost objects, once a treasure sought after by emperors of all dynasties. It is said that with it, one can open the Sui Hou Tomb at Broken Snake Hill, and even the Qin Mausoleum... It's a pity that only the shell of the pearl remains, and the essence within is gone..."

I was stunned: "What do you mean? Could it be that this bead can't save Xuanxuan?"

Damn, if that’s the case, then all my efforts have been in vain.

The golden-haired old man shook his head and said, "No, it's still possible to treat Xuanxuan, but after losing the essence of the ghost bead, the bead can no longer open the Sui Hou Tomb unless the 'ghost essence' is found."

I breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Xuanxuan could be cured, it didn't matter whether the ancient tomb of the Sui Marquis could be opened.

Next, the golden-haired old man began treating Xuanxuan. We followed Uncle Zhang to Xuanxuan's room. Xuanxuan was ill and sleeping in bed. Uncle Zhang was about to wake her, but the golden-haired old man said it wasn't necessary and that the treatment could continue immediately. Furthermore, treatment is more effective during sleep.

I sat and watched the show. The golden-haired old man had his mirror image lie down on the bed, beside Xuanxuan, and placed the beads between them. Then, he fetched a bowl of water and drew a very complicated talisman on the spot. I couldn't understand it at all. The golden-haired old man placed the talisman in the bowl and stirred it with the water. Then he fetched a willow branch, held the bowl in his left hand, and began to walk in the steps of the Gang Step, mumbling something incomprehensible, probably some kind of spell.

After each step and incantation, he dipped a willow branch in some talisman water and sprinkled it on Xuanxuan and her mirror image lying on the bed. He repeated this several times, then, after completing the steps and incantations, he took a large gulp of the talisman water and spat it out at Xuanxuan and her mirror image lying on the bed.

Hualala... A large mouthful of talisman water sprinkled on Xuanxuan and the mirror image like a violent storm. In an instant, the Suihou Ghost Pearl emitted a faint white light. At the same time, the mirror image's body surface suddenly became pale, as if it was about to disappear...

Finally, the golden-haired old man put down the willow branch and the bowl, made sword gestures with his hands, pointed at the mirror image and said "rise". Then the mirror image really floated up from the bed. As the golden-haired old man drove it, it slowly moved to just above Xuanxuan's body, and then fell down.

Uncle Zhang and I stared with our eyes wide open as the mirror image merged into Xuanxuan's body. There was no deviation or disharmony at all. It was just perfect!

I have to admire the golden-haired old man's ability. He is indeed one of the four great Yin-Yang masters. He is really powerful! Soon, we saw Xuanxuan open her eyes, blinking blankly, then turning her head to the side, glancing at us in a daze. When she saw me, her beautiful eyes immediately glared at me: "Brother Xu Fei?"
