Chapter 107 Evil Spirit
"The unknown evil spirits in the world formed by killing, adultery, and lying are called evil spirits. When evil spirits enter the body, people will lose their reason and become extremely violent. However, people are mortals, and if evil spirits accumulate in the body for too long, it will consume people's lifespan and eventually make people die in madness."
Jiang Wu looked at Qin Jiawang who was unconscious on the bed. His face, which was 70% similar to Qin Yuyan, looked lifeless. "The reason why your father fell into a deep sleep and became increasingly weak, and occasionally went crazy and hurt people, was because of the evil spirit that entered his body."
"Evil spirit?" Qin Yushu laughed, thinking it was ridiculous. "Are you a doctor or a charlatan?"
Jiang Wu replied, "I'm an actor."
Qin Yushu was stunned and looked at Qin Yuyan in disbelief, "You found an actor to treat Dad?!"
Qin Yuyan ignored him and continued to ask Jiang Wu, "According to you, where did the evil spirit in my father's body come from?"
“Grown it.”
Jiang Wu walked up to Qin Jiawang and touched the center of his eyebrows with his fingertips. Qin Jiawang, who was originally unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes. His bloodshot pupils were filled with ferocious hostility, as if he would suddenly attack and hurt people in the next second.
However, Jiang Wu did not give him a chance. With a press of his fingertips, the hostility in Qin Jiawang's eyes disappeared and he slowly closed his eyes.
This bizarre scene shocked everyone, and even Qin Yushu, who had just opened his mouth to question, shut up.
"An ordinary person would have to kill millions of people to be infected with such evil spirits. Your father has been cursed, and he can absorb the evil spirits around him day by day. Judging from his condition, it has been about twenty years."
Jiang Wu looked at the Qin siblings, "Does he have any enemies?"
Qin Yuyan frowned, "The Qin family has been in Linhai for many years, so it's inevitable that they have many rivals, but they don't have many enemies. I can't think of anyone who would be so vicious."
In fact, the Qin family's biggest rival is the other three families, especially the Han family. However, because Han Zhong was present at this time, she spoke more tactfully, but several people understood what she meant.
Qin Yushu glanced at Han Zhong subconsciously, but didn't dare to say anything. He just asked, "Then how do we cure this evil spirit?"
"Just remove the evil spirit and then break the curse." Jiang Wu paused, then said, "But the process of removing the evil spirit will consume a lot of energy. Your father is already old, and he has been tortured by the evil spirit for so long. He can only live for a week at most."
The room fell silent. Just as Jiang Wuwei and the brother and sister were discussing the matter for a few days, Qin Yuyan said without hesitation, "Okay."
Jiang Wu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Han Zhong whispered, "Qin Jiawang fell ill suddenly and didn't have time to make a will. The Qin family has been in internal strife recently."
Jiang Wu's face showed realization. He thought it was a story about a loving father and a filial daughter, but he didn't expect it to be a decision made after weighing the interests. If Qin Jiawang could wake up, even for only a week, it would be enough for him to make a will. Then Qin Yuyan would be able to shut up the Qin uncles and inherit the Qin family's business smoothly.
From this perspective, the rumor of the marriage between the Qin and Han families was most likely spread by this woman. She used the power of the Han family to suppress the opponents within the Qin family. She is a smart and decisive person. No wonder Qin Jiawang chose her as his heir.
"I don't agree!" Qin Yushu suddenly shouted, "Qin Yuyan, you are committing murder! You are doing this for yourself!"
Jiang Wu turned his head to look at Han Zhong, who understood immediately and whispered, "They have the same father but different mothers."
Jiang Wu suddenly realized again, no wonder.
However, it was obvious that the Qin family thought that the eldest daughter, Qin Yuyan, had more influence. The housekeeper came directly and asked Jiang Wu what he needed to prepare, such as cinnabar, talisman paper, etc.
Jiang Wu had never helped anyone get rid of evil spirits before. He just planned to use spells to dissolve it according to his understanding of evil spirits, and then use the Heart Purifying Mantra to keep the person's mind clear to prevent the evil spirits from entering the body again.
"Are there any mahogany?"
The peach wood plaque he made for Zhang Xiaoyu before worked quite well, so he planned to make one for Qin Jiawang and engrave the Heart Purification Mantra on it.
The housekeeper replied, "There is a landscape peach forest in the backyard, which is used for viewing peach blossoms. It doesn't produce many fruits. Can it be used?"
The quality of the landscape peach trees is lower than that of the normal peach trees. Jiang Wu thought about it and said, "I'll go with you."
The butler naturally agreed.
Han Chong wanted to go with them, but Qin Yuyan stopped him and said that she had something to talk to him about, so he stayed.
"You can probably guess the current situation of the Qin family. If my father doesn't wake up, my situation in the group will be very bad, so I can't announce the cancellation of the marriage right away. I'm sorry, but I need this marriage."
Qin Yuyan pretended to be relaxed and joked, "If you are worried that Mr. Jiang might misunderstand me, I can explain it to him in person."
"No, I've already explained it to him."
"So confident?"
Han Zhong coughed lightly and said, "Everyone in my family has seen him."
Qin Yuyan was slightly surprised. Although she knew that the two were serious, she had not expected Han Zhong to be so quick and bold, telling his family about it after being together for less than half a year.
"Did your family agree?"
"not."
Qin Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was normal, but she didn't worry too much. How could a man like Han Zhong dare to reveal his cards without the slightest confidence?
What she was really concerned about was something else. "Mr. Jiang... is he from the Taoist sect?"
Han Zhong was silent for a moment. This was something he had always wondered about. Jiang Wu did have special abilities and his behavior was quite casual, like a Taoist. But he had never mentioned anything about Taoism. When he was at the Qingming Temple before, Jiang Wu knew nothing about Taoism and was obviously not a Taoist.
In comparison, Jiang Wu was obviously more familiar with the culture of the Great Zhou period and the mysterious sorcerer mentioned by Cheng Ye.
"I guess so." he replied.
Qin Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Although she knew that there were some strange things in this world that ordinary people didn't know about, she was not confident that an unknown young man like Jiang Wu could save her father. Now that she heard that the other party was a Taoist, she felt relieved to some extent.
But even if she was worried, there was nothing she could do. There was no news about the third uncle of the Zhou family, and she couldn't find anyone else who could save her father.
?
At this moment, a red sports car slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Qin family mansion. A young man in a pink sweatshirt and blue jeans got out of the car, put his hands in his pockets, and looked around the mansion.
"A masterpiece, truly a masterpiece." the man exclaimed.
Another person got off the sports car behind him. He was wearing a suit on the outside, pajamas on the inside, and a pair of cotton slippers on his feet. He walked behind the man in front with a pale face and said humbly, "Did you come to the Qin family just to admire your own masterpiece?"
"Of course not." Zhou Yannan's lazy, sleepy eyes revealed a hint of cold amusement, "I came to pick up something and meet someone."
The November night was bitterly cold and Zhou Changming was shivering from the cold. He hurried to press the Qin family's doorbell. The servant who answered the phone recognized him and opened the door.
Zhou Changming exhaled a breath of hot air, turned his head and looked behind him, "Three——"
The second half of the sentence stopped abruptly. He looked at the empty night behind him and fell into confusion, "Where are the people?"
At the same time, in the scenic peach forest in the backyard of the Qin family mansion, Jiang Wu was breaking off a peach wood branch to test its toughness when suddenly the branch in his hand "snappled" and broke into two pieces.
The butler behind him looked over subconsciously, "Have you found it?"
"Well." Jiang Wu lowered his eyes and played with the broken branch, "But it requires a pure iron knife."
"I'll get it right away."
The housekeeper quickened his pace and left the peach orchard. The backyard, which was as big as a park, became quiet in an instant, with only the faint sound of wind blowing through the peach tree branches.
Suddenly, a man's voice came from above, "You are quite kind. You know how to transfer ordinary people..."
Jiang Wu raised his head and looked forward, only to see a slender figure standing on the high courtyard wall shrouded by a thin moon. He was wearing a strange pink sweatshirt, blue jeans, and ordinary casual sneakers, with his hands in his trouser pockets.
He was a handsome young man with a pair of sleepy eyes and a teardrop scar between his eyebrows. His face had a careless indifference, but also a lifeless cold murderous intent, which was contradictory and weird.
