Chapter 150 Don’t do anything, we are one family!
The hand that was originally pressing on Bai Mu's forehead was raised. I don't know if it was because the spell that was just cast into Bai Mu's body took effect. The bulge under the skin disappeared, and the forehead returned to a smooth and flat appearance.
Everything seemed calm, but Qin Qinsen's performance made everyone nervous.
I saw that the hand he had just raised began to tremble slightly, but the amplitude was not large. Looking at his serious expression and the beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, I knew that this scene was far from being as relaxing as it seemed.
Qin Qinsen stared at the location where he last sensed the substitute worm, with one hand hovering over it as if to fight against it, and the other hand quickly moved in the air, condensing a light golden talisman and sticking it to that piece of skin.
Then, the air seemed to break open, and the whole room was filled with a disgusting stench.
The skin between Bai Mu's eyebrows suddenly cracked, a tiny crack that would have been unnoticed if Qin Qinsen hadn't looked away. Two long tentacles poked out, moving back and forth, their cautiousness almost making Qin Qinsen, who had been watching them, laugh.
However, the next moment, the substitute insect, which was still moving slowly, suddenly burst out with black mist and rushed straight into Qin Qinsen's eyes.
A huge flapping sound and a foul smell appeared at the same time. Qin Qinsen put his palm down and accurately blocked the insect that tried to attack it.
"You three come here."
Bai Muqing was the first to rush over and asked nervously, "Is my mother okay?"
"There's only one last step left." Qin Qinsen gestured for Tao Huali to come closer. "The surrogate worm is the source of the curse. Although we've managed to draw it out, the curse has been on your mother for too long. To completely remove the remaining poison, we need your help."
"How can I help?" Shangguan Yue asked hurriedly, finally there was someone she could help with.
"It's not difficult."
Qin Qinsen still kept one hand clenched, and pointed to the location with the other hand, indicating the three people to stand there.
The three of them stood in three directions in front of the bed, looking at Bai's mother.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a small spell, just stand there." Qin Qinsen said softly.
Then, he took out the yellow talisman and chanted something, and the talisman paper suddenly ignited. As the talisman paper burned, the foul odor in the air gradually faded, replaced by the pleasant aroma of agarwood.
Bai Muqing and Shangguan Yue couldn't understand his movements, and even Tao Huali only had a vague idea of what he was doing, so they could only stand there stupidly.
The Tao family's secret arts weren't many, and Tao Huali could name every one of them. She only knew that to remove the wicked and sinister remedy of the body-surrogate worm, she needed the caster's bones and the heart blood of a close relative.
If I'm reading this correctly, after preparing the ingredients, the ritual must be held for seven days and seven nights without interruption. During this period, not only gold and silver ingots are required, but also a large number of offerings, so many that it could almost be a buffet.
But in Qin Qinsen's hands, all the processes were simplified.
While he was thinking, the talisman paper in Qin Qinsen's hand burned out. The three of them felt a sharp pain on their shoulders. Looking down, they saw golden beans the size of soybeans appearing on each of their left shoulders, flying lightly towards Bai Mu.
From the moment the golden bean appeared, Qin Qinsen relit the talisman paper, and the stench in the ward completely disappeared, "Lin."
As soon as he finished speaking, three golden beans rushed into the gap on Bai Mu's forehead where the substitute worm had once hidden.
Mother Bai, lying on the bed, slept even more soundly, her head tilted to one side, and a sigh of relief escaped from her mouth.
Seeing this, Qin Qinsen withdrew his hand and declared it over.
"You are blood relatives, so you can lend a little bit of your luck to fill it in. Don't worry about any harm to yourself. Just drink some talisman water and you'll be fine. After Aunt wakes up, give her a full body check, and you can rest assured. This generation of body worms has been hiding in Aunt's body for more than 20 years. It's impossible that it has no effect on her at all. Just prescribe the right medicine when the time comes."
The three of them obediently swallowed the talisman water under Qin Qinsen's slightly tough attitude. Bai Muqing was even more delighted to hear that Bai's mother was expected to recover, and showed the first relaxed smile since arriving at the hospital today.
Compared to Bai Muqing and the loss of a bit of luck, Tao Huali cared more about the fate of the person who cast the curse. He drank the talisman water in the paper cup and looked at Lao Jiu.
The response was not satisfactory.
"It has been reincarnated long ago, otherwise why would I beg Master Qin to capture this little bug alive?" Lao Jiu was a little angry. If he hadn't come to find Qin Qinsen today, they didn't know how long they would have been deceived by that damn ghost Tao Xianzhi in the underworld.
But now that he has caught the substitute worm, when he returns, he will definitely bring the soul of that cunning old man back and fry it in the frying pan a thousand times.
"With the presence of the body-surrogate worm, the negative karma that doesn't belong to your mother can be eliminated. This is a good thing."
Qin Qinsen's right hand was still in a clenched fist position, but it was shining with golden light, and it was obvious that it was not simple.
"Thank you, Master Qin. You are truly a master, and your methods are truly extraordinary. I will report this to the underworld and urge them to give you a larger reward. You can't just keep working for nothing."
Lao Jiu took out a torn bag from somewhere, held the bag in both hands and walked up to Qin Qinsen with eager eyes.
Rolling his eyes, Qin Qinsen pasted a few talismans on his pocket and used talisman water as a lock to secure it. Finally, he put his right hand, which was holding the surrogate worm, in. Lao Jiu pulled the rope, trapping both his right hand and the surrogate worm inside.
"What do you mean?!" Tao Huali noticed Lao Jiu's actions and his face changed immediately.
The green bamboo nails grew rapidly, reaching Lao Jiu's chest. He was so excited that he kept shouting, "Calm down! Don't do it, we are one family!"
Seeing that Lao Jiu was about to be beaten, Qin Qinsen said slowly, "The surrogate worm cannot leave the human body."
"Are you going to follow him to the underworld?" Tao Huali was surprised, and then became worried.
How can a living person easily set foot in the underworld? Once you go in, you will die.
"You forgot, I'm a crosser of the underworld, neither alive nor dead." Qin Qinsen shook his head, signaling everyone not to be nervous, "I'll be back soon, maybe even faster than Mr. Bai."
Hearing this, Anxi immediately nodded and urged, "Then hurry up and go as soon as possible. Big brother just sent a message saying that he wants to take you out to relax tonight and will pick you up after get off work."
The man who was so calm and composed just now immediately changed his expression. He glanced at the wall clock. It was 3:50, less than three hours before the end of get off work.
Feeling the urgency in Qin Qinsen's eyes, Lao Jiu flicked his tongue, which had fallen out in excitement at catching the surrogate worm alive, and said, "Let's go!"
Snap—crash—
The window of the ward suddenly shattered to the ground, and two white figures rushed in from the window, rushing towards Bai's mother and Tao Huali on the hospital bed respectively.
"What a courage!"
Lao Jiu's eyes widened in anger, and he grabbed one with each hand and smashed it to the ground.
"etc!"
Tao Huali's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly stopped her, "It's my servant ghost."
"They are no longer yours." Qin Qinsen used a talisman as a weapon to restrain two female ghosts with dark pupils and faces covered with dark, twisted spells. "Look carefully, they don't look like ghosts at all. They have lost their rationality."
After seeing the two ghosts clearly, Tao Huali felt a fishy smell in his throat.
