Sang Wan pointed to the notebook in front of him where Yan Daozi recorded trivial matters.

"This part records all the stories of this man named 'Xiao Yuqian'. He is vicious, bullies the weak and fears the strong. He is very jealous. He was a musician in his lifetime. He was good at playing flute and drums. He was a drummer in a drama troupe. He looked down on his father who was a butcher. He was educated, but in the end, he became a low-class trade like his father."

"He learned to drink tea like a scholar, liked women but had a disability, was looked down upon by prostitutes, and heard people say 'killing pigs is the lowest class, killing people is the highest class', and then he started to kill young women and skin them to make drums. There are not many major events in these records, but they record Xiao Yuqian's living habits, special hobbies, quirks, etc. in detail."

Sang Que nodded, "This should be what happened when Yan Daozi controlled the evil spirit during his lifetime."

Sang Wan pointed to another notebook and said, "This notebook records all the strange things Yan Daozi encountered in his daily life. From his words, we can see that he is a stingy and lazy person, timid and indifferent. He is not very curious and always stays out of things that do not concern him. But these are not important. Look at these few sentences."

Sang Que squinted and read out, "Tea tastes bitter, not as good as wine."

Sang Wan turned the page and pointed to another place.

"So they must have encountered evil spirits, but Yan Daozi only wrote 'there were dangers all around, but luckily nothing serious happened', and mentioned 'encountered a blood-clothed spirit and two or three corpse spirits on the road, and eliminated them', etc. He did not write about the blood sacrifice and the backlash of the flute afterwards."

The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!

Sang Wan lay in bed unable to fall asleep. She stared at the ceiling and wondered whether she was right to selfishly stop Sang Que from entering such a strange world. But she was also really afraid of losing her last relative.

Seeing Sang Que's unhappy expression, Sang Wan asked again, "Does Yan Daozi often wear a Taoist robe?"

As parents, we would feel distressed if our children got a minor illness, fearing that it would leave hidden dangers, not to mention the evil in Sangque's body, which was like a malignant tumor that could take Sangque's life at any time.

"The sound of the flute is harsh, and I can't learn it."

"In other words, the third method of controlling evil spirits is to transform yourself into the evil spirit's appearance when it was alive."

When Yan Daozi perfectly replicated everything about Xiao Yuqian, was he still Yan Daozi? No, he was just Xiao Yuqian who had come back to life, a skinner with a living body.

Sang Wan said, "Sister Zhang said that there was an accident at the construction site and the work has been temporarily suspended. Few people know the details. Sister Zhang has a relative in Xujiawan who knows something about the situation. She said that something strange has been going on there since the demolition work began."

Sang Que was puzzled. “Didn’t Xujiawan Village start demolishing houses at the beginning of the year?”

Sang Wan nodded, and took out another notebook and pointed it at Sang Que, "At the beginning, it was all complaints about Xiao Yuqian's habits that made him uncomfortable, but about a month later, he mentioned several times in his notebook, 'Xiao Sheng has been much more obedient recently'."

Sang Que quickly cheered up and took the book he had been reading earlier to his mother. The book was full of diagrams and introductions of various Taoist talismans.

"This talisman was drawn by Yan Daozi after he sacrificed a certain number and level of evil spirits to their 'Daojun' through a complex ritual, asking the Daojun's power to descend upon him. It contains a trace of ghost-level power, which can destroy evil spirits below the third level. The speed at which the talisman is consumed depends on the strength and number of the evil spirits. I have seen Yan Daozi use it, and he cut off the arms in Yin Tong Guichou's belly with one sword."

Therefore, such behavior is profitable for both humans and evil spirits, thus achieving the so-called "low cost and perfect" balance.

The more you think about it, the more terrifying it is, and the mulberry bird feels a chill down its spine.

Sang Wan was not optimistic. "Haven't you heard the saying, if you wear a mask for too long, you can't take it off. People deceive ghosts and pretend to be ghosts, but in the end they can't even tell who is controlling whom."

"Yes, but how much do you know about Yin Tong? Yan Daozi's notes and letters only mentioned that Yin Tong came to seek revenge on them, and there were no other clues." Sang Wan asked directly, with worry in his eyes.

"Sister, if it were you, you wouldn't be as timid as I am, right?"

Evil spirits usually kill people according to fixed rules. They have low IQs. When a person dies and becomes a ghost, they have an extra obsession from their previous life. Their thinking ability is also very limited. In most cases, they act according to their instincts and nature.

"Xiao Que, can't you just...try to exorcise the evil spirit in you, completely resolve this hidden danger, and return to the peaceful and carefree days of the past?"

"As for the evil spirits he encountered on the road, he always 'eliminated' them, not 'driven away' as before, which was the kind of thing he couldn't deal with. According to Yan Daozi's own character, he should have 'avoided' them, and he should have been able to do so, but he didn't. Instead, he was like the brave Xiao Yuqian, who directly eliminated the evil spirits."

"You mean..." Sang Que's eyes gradually brightened.

Therefore, this kind of evil spirits like to possess living people, and the earliest ghost walking people were caused by this kind of evil spirits' behavior.

Sang Que was full of confidence, with a gleam in her eyes. She was very confident in her plan and even had an urgent urge to implement it.

She knew nothing about Guichou. If she wanted to know what happened to Guichou, she would have to go to the strange world to investigate.

"That woman still lives in the deepest part of the village and hasn't moved away yet. You can go over there and take a look. If she can exorcise the evil spirit from you, that would be great. If not, you can ask her if there are other relevant people who can help."

In the weird world, the upper three layers of the Nine Netherworlds are called evil spirits, the middle three layers are called ghosts, and the lower three layers are the unpredictable horror of ghosts and gods, all of which are called ghosts and gods.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. Although he didn't have much hope of exorcising the Yin child and even felt a little resistant, Sang Que still nodded.

Sang Wan asked, "Now that you are even with Yin Tong, what are you going to use to kill evil spirits and gather strength?"

So, if the person possessed by the ghost is allowed to let the evil spirit believe that he has been resurrected in this body, and his personality, habits, and daily behaviors are all the same as before, then the evil spirit will naturally become "honest", and will no longer harm "his body", and will even try to protect "himself".

Sang Wan thought for a moment, "I remember Sister Zhang said that there was a temple keeper in Xujiawan Village on the outskirts of the city. For generations, she has worshiped the mountain god of Longjiliang Mountain in our Yucheng. She is really capable, and now there is only an old woman left alive."

Sang Que held up the book and pointed at the icon of a talisman on it. "Use this, the 'Ghost Soldier Talisman'."

Why should a good person force himself to do something that others like but he doesn't like, unless there is profit to be gained?

Sang Wan pointed out directly, "Yan Daozi is imitating Xiao Yuqian's behavior, learning how to drink tea and listen to opera, learning how to play the flute and make drums, and learning how to 'appreciate' women."

Sang Wan turned the page again and slid her fingers.

"This means that he used Xiao Yuqian's power but suffered no backlash, and there was no blood sacrifice as a reward. When the Black Mountain Village Corpse Nest wanted to perform a blood sacrifice, he probably used too much force and exceeded the safety limit. Also, on the way to Black Mountain Village, he was still learning to play the flute, and he replaced his usual wine with tea. When encountering problems, he no longer retreated blindly, but boldly took action if he could solve them. This is consistent with Xiao Sheng's personality."

Sang Que was inexplicably excited, "That is to say... that is to say..."

"Yan Daozi's notes mentioned that Xiao Yuqian likes to wear white clothes, but Yan Daozi always wears a Taoist robe and always calls himself 'Poor Taoist'. He may be using this method to remind himself not to forget his original identity. In this way, as long as he is still wearing a Taoist robe, he is Yan Daozi, not Xiao Yuqian." Sang Que reacted, "Mom, what you mean is, if I also want to use this method, I can learn from Yan Daozi and find something to remind myself who I am at all times?"

"I got ten ghost soldier talismans from Yan Daozi. I can temporarily rely on these ghost soldier talismans to hunt down evil spirits in our area and gather the power of the evil-averting money to suppress Guichou. Then I will work hard to accumulate incense and vows to strengthen the power of the heart lamp. With this two-pronged approach, there will definitely be no problem."

After breakfast, the mother and daughter went back to their rooms to rest. Sang Que was too tired and fell asleep quickly.

Sang Wan took the book and Sang Que explained quickly.

"I don't have that much free time to make drums... The land of gentleness is a grave of heroes, and it does a lot of harm to people... I didn't like to listen to operas before, but now I force myself to listen to a few performances, and it's quite interesting..."

Sang Wan frowned, her heart full of worry.

"Okay, I'll make breakfast first, and then we'll both catch up on some sleep. I'll go when you wake up."

"I didn't expect that this third method of driving is so simple and reasonable." Sang Que exclaimed.

"When I gather the power of the evil spirits and make all eight hexagrams appear, I will be able to suppress Yin Tong and forcibly extract her power to deal with other evil spirits."

"Okay, I'll try my best, but I don't know where to find an expert to ask about this matter right now."

Ming Zhang had mentioned in his previous notes that his master Yan Daozi was becoming less and less like the same person he used to be, and his behavior was actually very similar to that of the evil spirit that Yan Daozi controlled when he was alive.

"In the previous chapters, Yan Daozi mentioned several skinning and blood sacrifices. At first, I thought Yan Daozi used this to satisfy Xiao Yuqian and make him behave himself. But later, Yan Daozi took the newly recruited Ming Zhang all the way from Wangshan City to Heishan Village. He mentioned several times that he did not find a post station before nightfall."

"Yes! This is what I wanted to say!" Sang Que clenched his fist and smashed it into his palm, his eyes shining.

Sang Que also read a few books that Yan Daozi brought with him tonight. The books mentioned that after a person dies and becomes a ghost, he will have an obsession with wanting to be resurrected.

Sangque vaguely understood something, but when he opened his mouth he didn't know how to summarize it.

"Mom, you don't have to worry too much. If the third method doesn't work, I can still go back to the second method of 'using it to make it stronger'. Although it's impossible to strengthen the heart lamp with incense in a short period of time, I have money for warding off evil. I have had a hunch, or intuition, for some time."

Speaking of this, Sangque lost all his energy and spirit.

Sang Que nodded, "Yes, his closet is also full of Taoist robes, no other clothes."

At that time, Sang Que thought it was a sequelae of controlling evil spirits, but he didn't expect that Yan Daozi did it on purpose.

In Sang Wan's eyes, how could Sang Que's 'conservative' treatment method be more reassuring than complete removal? The light in Sang Que's eyes gradually dimmed, and she held her mother's hand, understanding her mother's concern for her.

After a long time, Sang Wan suddenly got out of bed, found the prosthesis she had hidden for a long time, and brushed off the dust on it.

Transition chapter, add one more chapter first~ * Regarding controlling evil spirits, there are three simple ways: ① Negotiation, use nice words to ask the evil spirit to take action, and then thank it afterwards; ② Force pressure, use the heart lamp and objects to force the evil spirit to become a slave

③ Deception, pretending to be the evil spirit's appearance when it was alive, making the evil spirit think that you are still alive, and for your own survival, you have to work hard

PS I suddenly realized that this is very much like a corporate slave. The boss negotiates with you about bonuses, the boss oppresses you with dismissal, the boss paints a rosy picture to make you think you can become the boss, and deceives you hahaha~

* 　　Because it is a brand new setting, it is no longer the well-known Qi training and foundation building, so if you don’t understand, please ask in time~ 　　* 　　Thank you for the reward from the leader of [Dream Pen Heart Words], I am flattered! I will add more thanks after the release. I am going to write with excitement first, and I can already feel the life of paying off debts after the release~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
