☆、Catching insects from facial sores
"Don't come over here, Mom, calm down." Xu Wang was about to collapse. Who would have thought that he could come out of Yu Jiuyin's haunted house unscathed during the day, but end up dying at the hands of his own mother at night.
The desire to survive made him struggle desperately, but the pain like needles pricking his body became more and more severe, and the ghost face was pressing directly against his heart.
"Ah!" Xu Wang screamed, the smell of blood filling the air. However, he could offer no resistance, only watch helplessly as the skin on his legs was torn apart bit by bit by an invisible hand, revealing the bright red flesh and the white bones beneath.
I'm really going to die.
Xu Wang closed his eyes in despair, feeling the pervasive chill, even seeping in and out of his pores. And the face on his mother's knees, as if finally having succeeded, revealed a hideous grin of triumph.
At this critical moment, a turning point finally arrived. From the half-open window, an inexplicable cold wind blew.
Xu Wang suddenly came to his senses and immediately broke free from his trance, facing the face of an expressionless boy doll.
It was Yu Jiuyin’s ghost doll, and Xu Wang’s heart suddenly felt much more at ease.
The doll stood on his shoulder and gave him a look of disgust and contempt.
"Fierce Ghost Dad, I'm just an ordinary mortal. Feeling rejected, Xu Wang wanted to cry but had no tears. However, the boy had no intention of paying attention to him. Instead, he turned around and looked directly at the ghost face on Xu Wang's mother.
"Get out!" the boy said, silently issuing an order, and a cold, ghostly aura instantly enveloped the entire corridor.
Though young, this child was a genuinely evil spirit. Before his death, he was tortured to the point of being disemboweled alive, his skin peeled off, and sewn into a human puppet. Even after death, his resentment lingered, and he remained incredibly violent.
Tick-tick, tick-tick, like drops of water falling.
Xu Wang looked up and saw that the walls, ceilings, and floors around the corridor were all covered in crimson blood. This blood was the boy's best weapon to suppress the ghost face.
A cruel smile appeared on his face, and his long nails scratched the ghost face fiercely, again and again, and actually tore his ghost face into pieces alive.
Xu Wang watched from behind, swallowing hard. Only after the ghostly face disappeared did he tremble and crawl to his feet, catching his fainting mother. But the fear in his heart hadn't subsided at all.
Because he saw with his own eyes that right on his mother's knees, the ghost face that should have been torn to pieces by the boy did not disappear. Instead, it seemed to be embedded in the flesh. The hideous facial features were extremely clear, as if they were about to break free from the flesh at any minute.
"Ah" The maid who heard the noise downstairs and went upstairs to help was so scared after seeing this scene that her face turned pale and her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
However, this time, Xu Wang was unusually calm. He didn't send for a doctor directly. Instead, he called Yu Jiuyin.
But to his surprise, before he could even tell them where he lived, there was a knock on the door. It was Yu Jiuyin.
"Pigsty." Yu Jiuyin calmly said the two-word evaluation, and glanced at the Feng Shui master who was still in the house, "Don't come out and give orders if you are half-baked. You almost got someone killed, understand?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, little brat?" The Feng Shui master didn't know what was going on upstairs. But he relied on the courtesy shown to him by the president's mother, and seeing that Yu Jiuyin was a handsome young man, he became arrogant.
But Yu Jiuyin didn't bother explaining. He didn't even bother to look at such an ugly and stupid creature. He just said, "Hurry up and switch to charity. Your virtue is almost gone. A bad end is a minor matter; the end of your family line is the bigger problem." Then he went upstairs.
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Jiuyin said in a particularly sarcastic tone, "Don't take the bus home today, you'll be in danger of bloodshed. If you're lucky enough to survive, I can show you a way out."
After saying that, Yu Jiuyin ignored him and went upstairs to find Xu Wang and his mother under the guidance of the servant.
"Wait a minute."
The Feng Shui master had wanted to follow, but the puppet that had appeared from nowhere on Yu Jiuyin's shoulder was staring at him. The murderous aura filled him with a chilling chill, and he took two steps back in fear.
Yu Jiuyin heard the voice and turned to smile. Her beautiful features were particularly clear under the light, making her look like the legendary fox demon with a bewitching beauty.
Mr. Feng Shui was completely stunned. When he came to his senses, Yu Jiuyin had already gone upstairs to Xu Wang's mother's room.
"Brother Yu, look at my mother!" Xu Wang couldn't help but hold Yu Jiuyin's hand when he saw him. Even though he knew that Yu Jiuyin came here at this time because he knew something was wrong with his family, he still couldn't help but tell him about his experience.
"Let me take a look first." Yu Jiuyin signaled him to stop, took the initiative to walk to the bedside of Xu Wang's mother and took a look, then his expression suddenly changed.
It turned out to be a black magic that wasn't from Thailand, but a harmful evil method that extended from the Maoshan branch. And looking at Xu Wang's mother's current appearance, it was clear that she had been hit by the mind-destroying magic from the black magic.
The Lost Heart Curse is arguably the simplest, yet also the most sinister, of all curses. The victim gradually loses their true nature, and eventually, when the evil thoughts coalesce and take shape, they manifest on the body's surface. This is the demonic face on the knee. In metaphysical circles, this is called a human-faced sore.
Judging from Xu Wang's mother's condition, the Demented Mind Curse must have been lingering for quite some time, otherwise the human-faced sore wouldn't have formed so completely and vividly. If the person who cast the curse wasn't a half-wit himself, Xu Wang's mother wouldn't have survived.
But even so, the mind-destroying spell on Xu Wang's mother seemed to be lighter than usual and developed more slowly. Could it be that someone had given her an idea? Since that person knew it was a mind-destroying spell, why didn't they just cure her?
Yu Jiuyin directly asked Xu Wang about the doubts in his heart.
"It was the same gentleman who renovated the Bagua Building. After my sister passed away, my mother fell ill. No doctor could help her, and she ended up having to take Chinese medicine to recover. When that gentleman found out, he added a herbal ingredient, and my mother was able to sit up in bed."
"Placenta" Hearing the word "medicinal material", Yu Jiuyin understood, "Did I also ask you to find the placenta of a baby who died unexpectedly at birth?"
"You, how did you know?" This matter has always been difficult for Xu Wang to say. But Yu Jiuyin guessed it right at once.
"You have to thank that man, otherwise your mother would have died when she was just infected with the black magic. But he is really interesting. He always uses the tricks of evil spirits, but he himself is not a living person," Yu Jiuyin couldn't help but joked.
Babies who died unjustly carry resentment, so a small amount of resentment is deposited in their placentas. For an ordinary person, this would probably only have a negative effect. But for the president's mother, it was a life-saving panacea.
After all, exorcism is a sorcery. However, the resentment of the ghost can subdue this evil spirit. Even if it can't cure the root cause, it can save lives. This is also the main reason why the president's mother has remained sane to this day.
However, what Yu Jiuyin didn't know was that the joke he made was not directed at a human being, but it was a bit scary when it fell into Xu Wang's ears. Because the person who had pointed out their family's mistakes was Rong Qing, who was called "Devil" in the circle.
But these are all later matters. The most important thing now is how to remove the curse of evil from his mother.
"Don't worry, let's talk about it tomorrow morning. First, change the layout of your house." Yu Jiuyin knew what was going on, and at the same time, he gave Xu Wang one more instruction, "Remember to find someone to investigate that Feng Shui master. I suspect he deliberately made your house like this under someone's orders."
"How to say"
"It's based on the current layout of your home. The front door faces west, which is prone to metal evil. You can use fire to neutralize it. This agate dragon and phoenix ornament is well carved. But the round base looks like wood, but it's made of iron. The metal evil energy brought by the round metal object is much more immediate than the direction of the door. If I'm not mistaken, when you walked in, did you feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing?"
"yes."
"That's right. You were frightened today, and your soul was unstable. Then you were hit by the evil spirit, so you definitely couldn't withstand it. That's why I said that Feng Shui master was a half-baked person. Not only did he harm others, but he also damaged his own Yin virtue. And there are far more things in your house that attract evil. This is also one of the reasons why your mother's Lost Heart Magic suddenly broke out today."
"So what do we do now?"
"Wait. It's almost midnight, the heaviest yin energy of the time. We can only wait until daybreak. But you can start investigating who your family has offended. I'll kill your entire family even if it means sacrificing my own life."
Seeing Xu Wang's confusion, Yu Jiuyin didn't keep him in suspense. "Don't you know? This kind of evil magic will shorten your lifespan. And after death, you will never be reborn."
"I'd rather die peacefully than let your whole family die with me. This seems like true love."
But this kind of true love is not what I want. Xu Wang was speechless. He was about to retort when he saw a servant running up in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" he asked quickly, but the news from the other party made him completely stunned. The look in his eyes when he looked at Yu Jiuyin was filled with unspeakable fear.
He had only seen such scenes in novels before, but now it was happening right before his eyes.
The servant said that just three minutes earlier, the Feng Shui master had just left the Xu family's main gate when he was hit head-on by a truck. The ambulance was still en route, and the Feng Shui master's life or death was uncertain.
"Brother Yu" Xu Wang felt cold all over.
Yu Jiuyin also frowned, "To silence someone, I think you should call your father back to have a chat."
"Okay, I'll call right away." A series of unexpected events made Xu Wang realize that things were much more troublesome than he had imagined, so he quickly called his father. But the more anxious he became, the harder it was to get through.
The waiting time always seems extremely long. Although it is only two or three minutes, Xu Wang still can't sit still.
"No, I can't contact my father. Brother Yu, wait a minute, I'll look for my father's secretary."
This time, the call was connected quickly.
"Hey, Uncle Wang, I'm looking for my dad."
"What? You said my dad is at the company right now, but I called and no one answered."
"Wait, Uncle Wang, please don't hang up the phone."
"Hello"
"What should I do?" Hearing the sound of the phone being disconnected, Xu Wang was at a loss and wanted to cry.
Yu Jiuyin was very calm. "Something must have happened. Go to your father's company and take a look."
"Then my mother..."
"It's okay as long as Lingling and his sister are here." After Yu Jiuyin said this, he took Lingling, who was clinging to his shoulder and put her next to Xu Wang's mother.
"Follow Jiuyin." The evil spirit was extremely sensitive to luck. Lingling could sense that Yu Jiuyin was going to do something dangerous, and she grabbed his sleeve worriedly and refused to let go.
"Be good, they are all afraid of me." Yu Jiuyin comforted her patiently, and at the same time, he deliberately tickled her armpits with his fingers, making her hold her stomach and laugh out loud, and then he completely let go.
The situation was urgent. After instructing the Lingdang siblings to take good care of Xu Wang's mother, Yu Jiuyin went to his father's company with Xu Wang.
On the way, Yu Jiuyin asked about the events of that year in detail again.
In Yu Jiuyin's view, everything has its cause and effect. All the changes in the Xu Wang family should have started with the takeover of Bagua Tower. But at this critical juncture, there are no clues.
"Just say a random word." Yu Jiuyin's expression was unusually solemn. He rarely performed fortune-telling, because it was different from other fortune-telling methods. It was more like guessing at human nature than calculating the laws of nature. It was too subjective. However, there was no better solution at the moment. It was always a direction.
"Four, today is the fourth." Xu Wang said this word subconsciously.
After hearing this, Yu Jiuyin's heart sank.
