Chapter 598 Three Talismans
"Qian Yu, I guess you have already guessed what happened to Nana?" Liang Qing sighed suddenly, and the charm on her face and the confusion in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a sad look.
I nodded when I heard her.
Before, I had warned Liang Qing to stay away from Nana, and I had asserted that Nana would definitely get into trouble within three months.
But I didn't expect that it would happen in less than two months, just over a month.
"Nana is in a very bad mental state now. A few days ago, she was filming on the set and suddenly lost control of her mind. She cut a male actor's face with a prop." Liang Qing supported his forehead and said gloomily: "Although the male actor can only be regarded as a third-tier actor, he is in a period of upward mobility. The other party's company was relentless and made us lose a lot of money. But it doesn't matter. After all, things that can be solved with money are not a big deal, but things... Nana showed signs of self-abuse and even suicide last night. If the assistant hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid Nana would have jumped from the 20th floor."
"Is it so serious?" I frowned.
Raising a ghost can indeed boost a person's fortune in a short period of time, but this fortune is not stolen or borrowed, but rather overdrawing one's life fortune in advance, allowing oneself to evenly distribute the fortune of a lifetime, and bursting out intensively at a certain point.
However, a person's fortune is limited, and your birth date determines the glory and wealth of your life.
God has destined you to enjoy as much blessing as you can. If you want to enjoy more, you need to overdraw in advance, or even exchange your life.
Nana's raising of a ghost did make her quickly famous in a short period of time, but the price that came with it was also extremely terrifying.
Moreover, the ghost is extremely immature in mind. Once you cannot meet its requirements, it will lose its temper. At the least, it will embarrass you in front of outsiders, and at the worst, it may take your life.
Moreover, when raising a ghost, one needs to offer one's own blood and essence every day. If one uses too much blood and essence, one will suffer great damage. It's okay to lose some in a short period of time, but if the damage lasts for many years, even I can't bear it, let alone Nana who is just an ordinary person.
"Qian Yu, although the company's performance has indeed increased several times after moving to the new company, but in fact... the company is now relying on Nana to maintain it. I have also been training new people recently, but it takes time to train new people. Before the new people are trained, the company still depends on Nana alone, so... no matter what, Nana can't get into trouble. Qian Yu, you must help Nana, which is also... helping me!"
Liang Qing turned his head and looked at me with a pleading look, but I frowned.
Nana has reached the point of self-abuse, even whispering, which shows that her luck has been almost overdrawn, and the appetite of the little ghost is getting bigger and bigger. With Nana's ability, it is obvious that she can no longer satisfy the little ghost.
"Brother Wu, how do you usually deal with this kind of thing?" I suddenly turned my head and looked at Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu has been listening to the conversation between me and Liang Qing just now. Although we didn't say that Nana was in trouble because of raising a little ghost, with Mr. Wu's intelligence, he must have guessed it a long time ago, so I asked this question.
Mr. Wu pondered for a while after hearing this, and then said: "The best way is to send the little ghost away, but if the little ghost is raised for too long and devours too much of the host's essence and blood, it may be difficult to send it away."
I nodded after hearing this.
After consuming too much of the host's blood and essence, the little ghost's breath and spirit are actually connected to the host, just like a mother and child, and it is difficult to separate them.
"Since we can't send it away, we can only... find a way to send it to the afterlife." At this, Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Qian Yu, this should not be difficult for you. After all..."
I shook my head and interrupted Mr. Wu. I didn't want to reveal my identity in front of outsiders. After all, the identity of a living ghost is too mysterious. Moreover, I haven't cultivated the companion judge's Dharma image yet, so I am not a real living ghost.
"I can't do it now." I shook my head and said.
"Then... we can only take the last resort." Mr. Wu looked at me, made a beheading gesture, and said, "Kill it."
I was silent after hearing what Mr. Wu said.
Killing this little ghost is actually the simplest and most effective way to eradicate the problem.
However, this little ghost has been connected to Nana's fate. Once this little ghost dies, Nana will at least have a serious illness. In serious cases, it may accelerate her aging, and she will never be able to recover from it, and she will also be plagued by diseases.
However, these are the sequelae of raising a little ghost. Even if the old Taoist priest from the Taoist Temple comes, he will be helpless.
"If it is killed, will it have an impact on Nana?" Liang Qing obviously thought of this point, and asked with a worried look on his face.
"Yes." I explained the interests involved to Liang Qing. Liang Qing's face darkened when she heard it, then he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. If Nana falls ill, it will be difficult for my company to survive. Besides, Nana herself may not be willing."
After hearing Liang Qing's words, I narrowed my eyes slightly, and asked lightly, "Sister Qing, do you think... money is more important, or human life is more important?"
Liang Qing was stunned when she heard it, then said guiltily, "I also know that Nana's body is more important, but Qianyu, you don't understand a woman's psychology, let alone the heart of a popular female star like Nana. They are already used to being sought after. If you let them fall into the mortal world now, they will not be able to accept it."
I nodded when I heard it. What Liang Qing said was true.
How many female stars have fallen from being the darlings of heaven to being just a passerby in the crowd?
Most of them cannot accept this fact. Some are depressed, and some even choose to commit suicide.
"Let me write you a few talismans, but... these talismans can only suppress this little ghost temporarily, and cannot completely cure it. Moreover, the effect of the talismans can only last for about half a year. As for what will happen after half a year, I can't predict it."
"Half a year?" Liang Qing sighed, and then asked: "After half a year, will Nana..."
"It's possible." I nodded.
After suppressing the little ghost, its resentment will definitely increase, and then the torture of Nana will definitely intensify.
"I'll ask Nana." Liang Qing said, then took out his mobile phone and walked out of the single room.
"Qian Yu, you shouldn't have written this talisman for her." After Liang Qing walked out of the single room, Wu Sheng spoke up and said, "If the little ghost kills Nana, then this cause and effect will implicate you. You are the future living ghost messenger. At that time, you will have to go to the underworld every year to resume your duties. The judge will judge whether you have failed in your duties based on your actions and cause and effect during this period. If the judge thinks that you have failed in your duties, then at the least, your body may be punished by the law. At the worst, you may even be stripped of your identity as a living ghost messenger, abolish your Taoism, and be imprisoned."
Wu Sheng's words reminded me of my master.
My master has not been to the underworld to resume his duties for 18 years. Now, he is being punished in the underworld and seems to be imprisoned.
However, when he was in our village, my master once told Xiang Lao San that with my master's ability, there are not many people in this world who can trap him, and the underworld is not one of them.
From this, it can be seen that my master is fully capable of leaving the underworld. The reason why he did not leave, I suspect that it is very likely that my master has some conspiracy.
I pondered for a while, and then said: "I am not a living ghost messenger now, and in half a year, maybe I have condensed the image of a judge. At that time, I will find a way to send that little ghost to the afterlife to resolve the cause and effect between us."
Wu Sheng didn't say anything after hearing this. After about five minutes, Liang Qing walked in again with his mobile phone.
After sitting on the chair, Liang Qing first poured himself some red wine, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then looked at me and said: "Qian Yu, I told Nana about the interests involved, and Nana... agreed."
"Okay." I nodded, and then took out a piece of talisman paper from my pocket.
I didn't bring a brush or cinnabar, but after practicing with Chu Jiu, my Taoism has long been different from before. I can't say that I have made great progress, but it is definitely several times stronger than before.
Especially in the way of talismans, with my current understanding and control of Qi, I no longer need some external force to stimulate my Qi.
I put my fingers into the wine glass, dipped them in the wine, and took a deep breath. I didn't spit out this breath, but held it with my eyes fixed, and then I tapped my fingers on the talisman paper and began to write.
Two minutes later, a concentration talisman, a talisman to ward off evil spirits, and a talisman to clear the mind were already drawn.
The concentration talisman can help Nana regain her lost mental strength and restore her spirit.
The talisman to ward off evil spirits can temporarily suppress the little ghost so that it dare not approach Nana.
As for the talisman to clear the mind, it can prevent the little ghost from disturbing Nana's state of mind and make her think of self-abuse or even suicide.
After I explained the usage of the three talismans and some precautions to Liang Qing, I glanced at Wu Sheng and said, "Sister Qing, we have something to do tomorrow, so we won't stay any longer. You have drunk too, so you don't have to see us off."
As I said this, I was about to get up, but Liang Qing suddenly grabbed my arm.
Then, she said something that shocked both me and Wu Sheng.
"Brother, can you... transfer this little ghost to me?"
