"What ritual are you going to perform?" Ju Jingbai asked. The basics of funeral rituals and blessing rituals are actually similar, and there are not so many restrictions. But just looking at the layout of the scene, she didn't even think it matched the funeral ritual in her mind, let alone changing it to a blessing ritual.
"They only perform the most common fortune-enhancing rituals. If I remember correctly, they're called the □□ Sect. Under the guise of funerals, they specialize in some insidious rituals. The statue in the center of their formation is based on the design of their □□ Sect's founder," Xu Ge said. "Ever since that founder came into being, they've grown from a small sect to a large one. They've been too high-profile lately, and they've even been reported to the police station, but we don't have any concrete evidence to arrest them."
"How could this be?" Ju Jingbai was puzzled. There were no human witnesses, and with so many victims, was there no ghost evidence?
"Why is that impossible? After the ritual is over, the mute victims are sent away. They're having a great time with their employers, so no one will report it to the police. How can you arrest them? Last time, I was a step too late and ran into the police. Their employer kept praising them for the ritual. How could the police arrest them?" Xu Ge said unwillingly, "My bonus for that month was gone. So, Xiaobai, remember this: these people owe us money!!"
Ju Jingbai: "...Okay." She remembered it.
"First you have to destroy the statue of the ancestor, then find the person who is presiding over the ceremony today and get him out. Do you have any amulets, talismans to ward off evil spirits, or magic talismans?" Xu Ge asked.
"Yes." There are many kinds of things in Ju Jingbai's backpack.
"We only perform the most common fortune-enhancing rituals and use psychedelic talismans to deceive others. You are the one who performs the rituals. Then replace the talismans. When praying, open the curtains to let the sunlight shine in through the windows. I will send the prayer form to your mobile phone. Also, the plates for offerings on the table must be locust wood plates and must be replaced." Xu Ge said calmly.
"Okay, wouldn't it be best to use the Five Thunder Talisman as an initiator for the blessing transfer? I also have the Five Thunder Talisman."
"Isn't that brat still here? It's not good for the brat."
Ju Jingbai then remembered Dudu and turned around to find him huddled in a corner, avoiding the passing Taoist priests. Seeing her looking over, he waved his arm, his quiet presence making her heart ache. She had already removed all the talismans from her face to sneak into the small ceremony hall, and now, staring into the eyes of a little ghost in the middle of so many people, she felt the trembling in her heart ease for the first time.
"Xiaobai, my phone is running out of battery. Please send me a location, including the room number. I have finished the evaluation here and will be there soon." Xu Ge heard what Ju Jingbai said, held down the young ghost who was struggling in his arms, and hung up the phone in a hurry.
The young ghost taunted him, "You have all the skills, but you're too timid. You only know how to bully ghosts like me who just died. Everyone else is trying to catch evil spirits. If you catch the best evil spirits, you won't have to participate in the second round of the selection."
"What do you know? The first place in the second round of selection will get a reward of several thousand yuan." Xu Ge did not relax his control over the young ghost at all, and took him to register with the judges.
"...You money-grubber." Seeing that he couldn't struggle, the young ghost snorted coldly and began to complain, "The person who just called you was your friend. Tsk, she doesn't even have basic common sense. Her brain is so rusty. Don't tell me you're friends with her because your family is rich?"
"I hope that when we meet later, you can still say it so confidently, sister, your brain is simply rusty." Xu Ge thought of Ju Jingbai's ability to charm all kinds of ghosts.
"Oh, not only that, I won't even call you sister. How can anyone who wants to be friends with a money-grubber like you be a good person? When the time comes, I will not only laugh at her brain, but also her looks and figure." The young ghost raised his head stubbornly.
Xu Ge raised an eyebrow: "Then I'll wait and see."
The second round of the metaphysics competition is to let young ghosts voluntarily enter reincarnation.
Xu Ge took the two silver talisman bracelets handed over by the judges, put one on the young ghost's wrist and the other on his own wrist, opened WeChat location, called a taxi, and hurried to the LaCrosse Hotel with the young ghost.
Ju Jingbai shook the weight of the statue, and under the cover of Dudu, replaced the Yin-Gathering Talisman with the peace amulet and evil-warding talisman she had prepared, and replaced the locust wood plate with an ordinary plate.
After all the preparations were completed, Mother He came in with He Sishui and Chu Qiu and went straight to the Taoist priest who was in charge of the ritual.
"Mom, you still listened to them and came to buy this package." He Sishui complained. Ju Jingbai settled Dudu, activated the psychedelic talisman, and took the opportunity to pour water for the person in charge. He walked forward and quietly got close to listen to their conversation.
"Ms. He, is your child unwilling?" The Taoist priest in charge was in his forties, tall and thin, holding a whisk, and looked quite like an immortal.
"No, Master Cui, please wait a minute." Mother He pulled He Sishui.
"Si Shui, listen to me. I'm doing this for your own good. The girl at the seafood market in our neighborhood is in poor health, even worse than you. I asked your dad to ask her dad, and sure enough, we found out. Her daughter got better right after a ritual." Mother He saw that her sweet words didn't work, so she changed her tone. "I don't care. I've already spent the money. You have to do it whether you want to or not. Chu Qiu, aren't you usually interested in these things? Please help me persuade Chu Qiu."
"Si Shui, why don't you try it." Chu Qiu said embarrassedly.
"Mom, I got seriously ill after the last time. If I don't get better this time, it will be the last time." He Si Shui said in a serious tone.
"Okay, okay, but you have to do it this time, okay?" Mother He said in surprise.
"Master, someone is looking for you outside." Ju Jingbai touched the psychedelic talisman under his collar. The psychedelic talisman can temporarily give a person a different appearance. He leaned over to Master Cui Yan's ear and said at the right time.
"Who is it? The auspicious time is almost here, let him in." Cui Yan frowned.
"I don't know either. He said you have to leave." Just as Ju Jingbai thought, with so many guests here, it was not convenient for Cui Yan to refuse. He apologized and followed her out.
The clock in the ceremony hall moved towards twelve, and the auspicious time for the ritual had arrived. When he entered the door again, there was only Taoist Cui Yan, who looked like an immortal.
"Master Cui, this is a prayer letter. We can begin now." A young Taoist assistant handed over a prayer letter with an ancient atmosphere. Ju Jingbai saw the obscene words on it, curled his lips, walked to He Sishui, pulled him up and walked towards the stage.
He Sishui was about to struggle when she was suddenly stunned. The smooth palms in her hands did not match the uncle in his forties or fifties at all. At this time, the young Taoist priest standing on the stage began to recite quietly.
A cold atmosphere began to brew.
He Si Shui suddenly felt as if her limbs were filled with cold rain, and her eyelids were so heavy that she had no mood to care about what was wrong with her hands.
"Bang."
The coldness receded like a tide, and He Sishui suddenly opened her eyes. The statue in the middle of the floor, which was as tall as her calf, had turned into shattered pieces. And the one who broke the statue was... the Taoist Priest Cui Yan her mother had mentioned?
