I was filled with excitement. In the past, I would never have felt that kind of excitement.
It seems that my persistent practice of drawing talismans over the past few months has made my spiritual energy more abundant, which is why I can feel the fluctuations transmitted from my master's fingertips.
The fluctuation was gentle, like watering flowers with a kettle.
I could clearly feel that the woman was gradually regaining her senses, and her empty, lifeless eyes were gradually becoming clearer.
The master did not stop what he was doing, but instead used the thumb of his other hand to press against the man's forehead.
But with this one movement, the master began to slowly frown.
I knew this was my master's expression when he encountered difficulties.
It seems things aren't so easy to resolve.
The woman gradually regained consciousness, looked at us with a complicated expression, and then glanced at her master.
Seeing that the woman had regained consciousness, the master slowly withdrew his finger:
"How do you feel? Now you can tell us in detail."
The woman's eyes also showed some surprise. She clearly remembered what she had just said, and now that she had regained her senses, she looked on incredulously.
"Master, how did you do that?"
"I felt like I was being controlled by despair just now."
"How could someone be so self-destructive?"
"Fortunately, the master used his supernatural powers to bring me back to my senses."
"Master, just ask whatever you want to know!"
The master nodded and said, "Hmm, judging from your appearance just now, it must have been that female ghost who spoke ghostly words to you."
"Nonsense can confuse people's minds, make them lose their rationality and judgment, and make them feel lost or irritable."
"I just don't know what connection that female ghost has with you. The way she's acting clearly means she wants you to suffer and have your families destroyed."
"If it were just for the purpose of killing, you would probably be dead already."
There must be some crucial reason.
"Could it be that your husband knows this female ghost?"
Upon hearing her master's question, the woman shook her head:
"No, we don't know that female ghost at all, I'm sure of it!"
"Because that female ghost is not a modern person at all."
"Although I don't know much about history, judging from her clothing and the fact that she called herself 'this humble servant,' she should have been born in the Song Dynasty."
"She was incredibly powerful. As I just mentioned, the Taoist priest started vomiting blood the moment he saw the female ghost, and he died in the downstairs living room shortly afterward."
"The female ghost even came upstairs to scare me, saying that making such a futile struggle was useless, and that we would eventually die anyway."
"Her words kept echoing in my mind, and I became more and more out of control."
My master's expression was rather solemn; this was the first time I had ever seen him with such an expression since I became his disciple.
In my memory, my master was omnipotent; any opponent was nothing more than a showy but ineffective fighter in front of him.
Even a simple move can leave the opponent defenseless.
But the fact that Master is showing this expression shows just how formidable that female ghost must be.
The master muttered softly to himself, "A female ghost from the Song Dynasty? What a wonderful gift. It seems I didn't bring that thing here for nothing."
Then he turned to me and said:
"Xiao Xi, this opponent is not easy. It may be a very intense fight. I may not be absolutely certain that I can protect you."
"I'll put a Ghost Concealment Talisman on you later. It can shield your aura so that ghosts and monsters can't see you."
"Also, don't stray too far from me, otherwise I won't be able to take care of you. Don't go out unless absolutely necessary."
"Junior Nephew Wu, please take good care of your junior sister later."
Wu Shi nodded, and subconsciously leaned closer to me.
My master drew a line in the air, and a faint talisman appeared before me.
My master came up behind me and tapped my back with his finger.
I didn't feel anything unusual.
I asked my master, puzzled, "Master, is it alright now?"
The master nodded heavily: "Yes, that's fine. As long as you don't deliberately reveal your aura, the Ghost Concealment Talisman will not fail."
I asked with some curiosity, "Master, I didn't see the method for drawing this talisman in the Complete Book of Talismans. Could this also be a top-tier talisman?"
The master waved his hand and said, "No, top-tier talismans are extremely rare. This is just a mid-tier talisman, developed in recent years, and it's not recorded."
"When we get back this time, I should tell you the true principles behind the talismans."
Then the master's expression froze:
"Captain Xu Yuan, I will use talismans to protect this room and also use an array to seal the entire room. Once the female ghost dares to enter, she will not be able to leave."
"You are responsible for protecting the safety of this family inside the house."
He then pulled out a stack of talismans from his person: "Unexpected situations may occur. Don't use firearms, but throw talismans like crazy. I will come up if I sense any movement!"
Xu Yuan took the talisman and began to mobilize people to rush upstairs.
The master then took out a stack of talismans for suppressing evil spirits and another stack of talismans for exorcising evil spirits from the inside pocket of his Taoist robe, and pasted them into the room to form a spell array for exorcising evil spirits.
Immediately afterwards, Master Wu Shitong and I went to the living room on the first floor.
At this moment, only I, Wu Shi, my master, and the corpse remained in the living room on the first floor.
My master then pasted different talismans that I had never seen before in different corners of the living room, and even the patterns on each talisman were different.
However, the master was still holding a talisman in his hand.
Turning around, the master examined the corpse with his eyes before taking out his satchel.
She took out a silver needle from her bag and pricked the man's forehead, palms, and soles of his feet with it. Then she dripped the blood onto the paper figures she had cut out.
The master poked around on a stack of paper figures with his finger, leaving everyone completely baffled.
Then, the paper figures seemed to come alive, and they all stood up one by one.
The master opened the window, and the paper figures swarmed forward, flying swiftly out the window – a scene worthy of a supernatural movie.
I asked, somewhat puzzled, "Master, what are you doing?"
How did these paper figures fly?
The master laughed loudly: "I was worried about what would happen if I didn't see any ghosts?"
"I never expected that this female ghost would leave her yin energy and evil aura on a dead person."
"These will naturally find the female ghost along with the yin energy and evil energy, and then attack her."
"I applied some low-level exorcism and warding-off evil talismans to the paper figures."
"This will make the female ghost misjudge my strength, and with the constant harassment from the paper figures, she will definitely be unable to resist coming to get rid of me."
"At that time, I will put on the last talisman of the formation, and she will have no way to escape."
Hearing my master's explanation, I thought to myself, "Wow, so my master's a real schemer!"
