Chapter 39
Father Shen bowed and said, “Master Taoist, please come in with me and have a cup of tea before leaving.”
Wang Sheng waved his hand. "No, I have more important things to do. I won't be able to calm down until I catch that monster. I won't drink the tea."
"Yes, yes, you still have important things to do, so I won't bother you anymore."
Wang Sheng nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to leave, someone came towards him. Shen Dahong called out to the person, "Mom, you just came back from Wu Laoer's house?"
Aunt Shen, holding a basket, smiled and said, "Yes, come back quickly and get some sleep before you go help."
Wang Sheng and Aunt Shen passed each other, and Shen Dahong quickly welcomed them in so that he could close the doors and windows tightly to prevent the monster from coming in.
He only heard a voice from behind saying, "Dahong, the bottom corner of your talisman is missing. You should tear it off and stick a new one on."
Only then did Shen Dahong realize that there was indeed a corner missing. He was almost scared to death and hurriedly wanted to tear it off and stick a new one in place.
"Wait." Wang Sheng went back and stopped Shen Dahong. Shen Dahong was confused and was about to tear up the corner of the talisman paper with his hand. He asked, "What's wrong, Master?"
Wang Sheng explained, "As long as the cinnabar isn't destroyed, the talisman will still be effective even without the talisman paper itself. You don't need to replace it with a new one."
Shen Dahong understood and wanted to listen to Wang Sheng and let it go. However, Aunt Shen showed an uneasy look and said, "Dahong, looking at Wu Laoer's human skin is too scary for me. Let's just get a new one for peace of mind."
"This..." Shen Dahong hesitated. His mother was scared, so he had no choice but to change it again.
Wang Sheng stepped forward and held him, then said to Aunt Shen with a smile: "Auntie, you don't believe what we say? Didn't we give you these talismans? You can't go wrong if you don't change them."
Seeing Wang Sheng say this, Aunt Shen could only laugh dryly, "Master, that's not true. I'm just scared and want to find peace of mind."
"That's understandable," Wang Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Then Auntie, go and re-apply the talisman. Touching it will help you feel more at peace."
When Shen Dad, who was standing next to him, saw that Wang Sheng had spoken, he quickly advised his wife: "You are the only one who has too many things to do. Hurry up and don't delay other people's business."
Shen Dahong handed the new talisman paper to his mother, "Mom, this is for you."
The talisman paper was right in front of her. Aunt Shen looked up at the other three people, all looking at her. She clutched the basket tightly, smiled at them, and said, "Hey, it's not that troublesome. Dahong, go and apply it. After you're done, let's go in quickly so as not to cause trouble for the master."
Wang Sheng held Shen Dahong tightly, and Shen Dahong could not walk. His face was a little distorted. Was the master's strength too great? Was he seeking revenge for last night?
Wang Sheng stared at Aunt Shen intently, and said slowly, word by word, with an air of oppression: "I said, go and post it."
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. Father Shen was the head of the family, but Aunt Shen didn't take his words seriously at all, making him lose face in front of outsiders. He glared at Aunt Shen and stuffed the talisman paper in Shen Dahong's hand to her, "Hurry up..."
The moment she got the talisman, Aunt Shen let go of the basket, screaming and shaking her hands, thrashing about in agony. Shocked, Shen and his son stood there, bewildered, not knowing what to do. Only when Wang Sheng yelled at them, "Get in quickly!" did they panic and flee inside.
"Aunt Shen" stood in the corner, looking at Wang Sheng viciously, "When did you discover me?" She thought she had pretended very well, but she didn't expect to be discovered by this Taoist priest.
"It's simple. No one in the village can laugh right now. You just came back from the Wu family, and you can still laugh so happily when you see human skin. It's hard not to make me suspect that you are laughing because you just had a full meal."
The skin-covering demon didn't expect that it was because of its smile that it was exposed, but it didn't matter. It raised its eyes gloomily. The man with the sword on his back was not there, and only the Taoist priest was there. It grinned, revealing its fangs, "Then I'll get rid of you first."
Wang Sheng held the Samadhi Talisman between his fingers and waved it at it. "Excuse me, can you take a look at what this is?"
How could the skin-covering spirit not know what this was? It was because of this talisman that the skin it had just obtained was burned off. It was furious and hid its hand before rushing towards Wang Sheng.
"Eunuch!" Wang Sheng called out. The eunuch leaped up, flew over, and began pecking at the skin-covering spirit. The skin-covering spirit was afraid that the dead bird would really peck its skin, so it quickly dodged backwards. Wang Sheng took advantage of the opportunity and threw the talisman out. "The Three Pure Ones of Heaven and Earth, with the help of divine fire, burn!"
The Samadhi Talisman suddenly caught fire. Wang Sheng watched helplessly as the Samadhi Talisman turned into a flame as big as a fingernail. He was dumbfounded. How could he have forgotten about this? He only had a vague understanding of the Thunder Talisman, let alone the Samadhi Talisman.
It's over, he seems a little dead.
The skin-covered demon was ready to be burned, but he didn't expect the Taoist priest to be just an embroidered fist. He said mockingly: "I thought you were so powerful, just stand there and wait to be eaten by me!"
It inflated its skin and its body became two or three times larger, as if it wanted to wrap up Wang Sheng completely. The cowardly father-in-law had no idea where to hide and ran faster than anyone else.
A shadow covered Wang Sheng's head. He looked up, then while the skin-covering spirit wasn't paying attention, he turned around and ran back, shouting, "Master, help me!"
He looked back, fearing that the evil spirit would catch up with him, but unexpectedly he bumped into someone head-on.
The person stepped back and caught him steadily. Wang Sheng was overjoyed when he saw who it was. He ran over and pointed at the leather spirit behind him and said, "Master, the leather spirit is right here. Don't let it get away!"
Shi Ye turned his head to look at him, then pulled out Wu Men with his backhand, cut a cut on the palm of his hand, and smeared blood on the blade. The skin-sheathing monster wanted to shrink back and use the same trick to escape, but because it was too big, before it could make its next plan, it was pierced by Wu Men's sword and nailed to the gate of the Shen family, completely deflated.
It was nailed to death along with the spirit in its skin. It struggled unwillingly, but the talisman on the door could only wear away its skin bit by bit, and it completely disappeared from the world.
The danger was eliminated, and Shi Ye went to check if there was anything missing, and pulled the door off the door. Shen Dahong opened the door and saw Shen Dad slumped behind it, his teeth chattering and his face pale.
I explained the situation to them and left them alone.
A fat bird circled around and flew back, landing on Wang Sheng's shoulder. However, Wang Sheng didn't have time to deal with it now. He also came over and flattered him with a smile, "I knew you had a way, Master. You are awesome!"
Shi Ye walked past him expressionlessly, then grabbed Wang Sheng's wrist and pulled him to stagger, "Come with me."
"Slow down, slow down, my hand hurts a little..." Wang Sheng was dragged to a deserted place. He covered his wrist and screamed in pain exaggeratedly. Shi Ye asked him coldly, "Didn't you say you were going back? What's the matter? Shen Dahong's family and Zhou's family are completely in two different directions. Can't you even tell the direction?"
Wang Sheng looked around in confusion and sighed in surprise, "I really took the wrong path! Oh, my bad luck! How could I have run into that demon? Thank goodness you arrived just in time, Master."
This man was trying to get away with it, but Shi Ye could see through him. He grabbed Wang Sheng's hand and approached him, his eyes dark as he pushed him against the wall. He couldn't hold back any longer, "Wang Sheng, what on earth are you thinking about?"
Shi Ye frowned. He had wanted to say it for a long time. The last time Wang Sheng took the initiative to sign a contract with Qingmian Jiang, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong. However, Wang Sheng didn't say anything, so he pretended to know nothing and didn't ask. But this time, he was tricked into acting alone. If it weren't for the Heart-to-Heart Spell, he would have no idea what was happening here.
Wang Sheng turned his head away from him. "I'm just trying to prove myself that I'm not that bad... But look, if it weren't for me, wouldn't Shen Dahong and his family be finished?"
Still lying to him.
Shi Ye looked down at him and said in a deep voice, "You know that's not what I'm asking."
"Are you asking why I'm so eager to do the work? Master, aren't you afraid that I'll steal your business after I successfully complete my apprenticeship? I just want to make a little money to have food and shelter, so how can I compete with you for business?"
"If you're thinking about money, you can go back now. I don't want Cui Ziyao's box of money. Take it back to Zhang County. It's enough for you to live the rest of your life."
The person in front of him pressed on step by step, his tone questioning and dissatisfied, as well as a bit of fear and worry.
This was the first time that Shi Ye couldn't see a person clearly. He didn't know Wang Sheng's identity or the purpose of following him. However, he had already taken out all his things, even the most important ghost-controlling technique for ghost masters. Even the evil ghosts under his command could not obey his orders, but Wang Sheng knew nothing about it.
That would be fine, but he should never risk his life to deceive him.
"Let's go?"
This question caused both of them to pause for a moment. Wang Sheng suddenly laughed. He turned around, raised their entangled hands in front of him, and joked, "Master, you are so worried about me. If you didn't know, you would think you care about me and like me very much."
As if what someone said came true, he was stunned and let go of his hand.
The wound on his hand was still bleeding, and Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment when he saw that his hand was also stained with his blood. He picked up the hand and looked at it. The wound was shocking, but he didn't care at all, as if he had already gotten used to it.
Shi Ye silently let him catch him. People who didn't know what was going on thought that Wang Sheng was questioning Shi Ye.
After realizing what he was doing, Wang Sheng couldn't help but sneer. What was he doing? Such a powerful person didn't care about himself, but he was nervous for him.
He couldn't laugh anymore. He grabbed Shi Ye's other hand and went back to Zhou's house. As soon as he got back, he called out Chang Sun Yi and brought him in front of Shi Ye. "Your junior uncle is injured. Find him some golden medicine."
After hearing this, Chang Sunyi immediately took out the golden medicine from his pocket and said, "Junior Master, pour it on me quickly, and the bleeding will stop."
"...Um"
After taking the medicine, he pressed the blood on himself. The bleeding on his hand stopped. He roughly wiped the wound, then poured the powder on it, bit off a piece of cloth and bandaged it with one hand, but it looked a bit difficult to use only one hand.
Shi Ye sat on a small stool, looking very lonely.
Someone took the strip of cloth and wrapped it up carefully. The atmosphere between the two people was so tense that you could hear a pin drop. One of them was hiding something and dared not say it, while the other was feeling extremely confused. They both remained silent.
