C9 Exorcism(part I)
Zheng Yuan felt depressed as he watched his family's daily life get better with each passing day. His old bungalow had been replaced by a three-storey building, and he had also been evaluated as one of Mao Mountain Town's most talented people. Furthermore, his only son, Boss Zheng, had married his wife last year and given birth to a fat grandson this year.
The day was getting better and worse, but Zheng was killed a few days ago when he was accompanying tourists up the mountain. Besides, after the corpse was brought home, Sun Xiaoshan had a fever and started talking nonsense, which was then sent to the hospital for examination.
In a fit of anger, Zheng Yuan brought his grandson back from the hospital. He wanted to find a Taoist to exorcise evil spirits. Who knew that the Taoist priest would come here with an outrageous price?
After all, as long as the person was still here, he could still earn money. Zheng Yuan didn't feel bad, but these Daoists really weren't worth the money. He started posting talisman paper everywhere as soon as he entered the house, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
This previous one was even more outrageous. He actually said that his daughter-in-law was the bane of Heaven, and wanted to bring her back. Moreover, he even wanted to pour the grandson's water to drink. Needless to say, he had met a swindler. In a fit of anger, Zheng Yuan used his walking stick to chase the swindler out.
Zheng Yuan let out a sigh and knocked the smoke pot in his hand. He turned around and walked into the house, only to find a young man wearing a blue daoist robe standing in front of the door with a handsome smile on his face.
"Your bull-like nose …" Spiritual Master, what business do you have? "
Zheng Yuan was just about to curse out loud when he suddenly realized that this young man in front of him exuded a completely different aura from that Taoist just now. He quickly changed his tone and addressed him as "Daoist Master".
How could Lin Bai not understand the meaning of the first half of his words? He only smiled and said, "Infinite Blessed Sky Sovereign, I am a Daoist on a mountain. I heard that there is no one on Mao Mountain, so I came here to ask if there is anything I can help you with."
His words were watertight, but only Lin Bai himself was clear of this. What was this journey down the mountain? He had long had his eyes on this place and wanted to see if he could get a fee for it. Although he was not very good at such matters, his level of skill was definitely not something that a martial arts scholar like just now could match. Regarding this, Lin Bai was still rather confident.
When the crowd saw another young Daoist pop out, they immediately clamored again. There were those who were optimistic, and there were even those who called him a swindler. However, with the large number of people present, Lin Bai did not notice that Chen Qiling was also among the crowd. Moreover, when he saw Lin Bai, his face turned cold and with a sinister smile, he said a few words to Jerry, who was beside him.
Without waiting for Zheng Yuan's reply, Lin Bai glanced at Zheng Yuan's face and then looked into the courtyard.
This courtyard was rather elegantly decorated. On the right side of the courtyard was a pond made of bluestone, and on the other side was a crooked tree. The tree had diagonally pierced through the ground outside of the house, making it look rather strange. The layout of the building was quite exquisite. The windows were all on the floor, and they looked very bright. Logically speaking, this kind of evil thing shouldn't appear.
Lin Bai scanned the corner of the building. Suddenly, his eyes turned cold as he felt a refreshing breath slip out from his eyes. Then, he saw a black shadow flash past the eaves of the building.
This, this. Lin Bai was stunned as he mumbled, "What's wrong with my eyes? How can I see such a thing? Isn't the Yin Yang Eyes unique to those who cultivate Yin and Yang Eyes? What is this about me?"
"Taoist, what's wrong?" Seeing Lin Bai's stunned expression, Zheng Yuan thought that Lin Bai had seen through his demonic charm, so he hurriedly asked.
"This Penniless Priest saw the Yin Sha!" After pondering for a moment, Lin Bai pointed at the eaves on the third floor as he spoke to Zheng Yuan.
As soon as Lin Bai said this, the surrounding crowd immediately burst into laughter. It was noon, and the place Lin Bai pointed to was also a place where the sun directly shined.
After locking the door tightly, the old man fell to his knees in front of Lin Bai. With tears and snot streaming down his face, he wailed, "I beg that the real person can save my grandson, please don't let that evil ghost come back upstairs and take his life!"
"Fierce Demon?!" Lin Bai could no longer afford to think about the matter with his eyes as he stared at Zheng Yuan.
His eyes were filled with regret, "When my family was building this building, I hired a team of workers from outside the city to build it. It was in the summer, and my family's shed was outside, so I urged the contractor to get those workers to work overtime to get out early. Who would have known that something would happen?
The human heart! Lin Bai sighed, he knew the weather at the foot of Mao Mountain, even if it wasn't at noon in the summer, if it wasn't at 40 degrees, it would still be at 37 or 38 degrees.
"Daoist Priest, I didn't think that such a thing would happen, but that can't be helped. Since his family members are here to ask for money, I've also lost money. He shouldn't have kept pestering me!" Zheng Yuan grabbed onto Lin Bai's sleeve as he cried, "Dao leader, you have to save Little Shan. Even if we're going broke, as long as Little Shan is safe and sound.
Zheng Yuan knelt down as he spoke. "Little Shan is the only son of our Zheng Family. If Little Shan dies, then I, Old Bones, will follow him down to accompany him!"
Seeing Zheng Yuan kowtowing, Lin Bai could not help him up no matter how hard he tried. He could only smile bitterly and say, "Old sir, I did not say that I would not help you. You can thank me after I've dispelled this evil charm for you."
After saying that, Lin Bai pointed to the spot where he had seen the shadow and asked Zheng Yuan, "Did that little worker fall there?"
"Yes, there it is. Daoist Master, you said that I lost all my money, but why is he still pestering my family? " Zheng Yuan's gaze followed Lin Bai's finger and saw that it was where the worker fell and bitterly said.
Lin Bai smiled faintly, but he didn't say anything. This kind of demonic charm was extremely mysterious. In order to form it, one needed many conditions, how could it only be a matter of making up for the loss of money.
"If I'm not wrong, your son and daughter-in-law should be living on the third floor." Lin Bai asked with a smile.
Now that Lin Bai had mentioned it, he suddenly recalled that his son and daughter-in-law had said that the third floor was cooler and that they had to live on the third floor. But now that he thought about it, the top floor in the summer was much cooler than the first floor. Thinking of this, it must have been an evil existence, and he felt his scalp tingling.
Seeing the expression on Zheng Yuan's face, Lin Bai knew he was right. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before chuckling, "This matter is a bit easier. First, move your daughter-in-law and Xiaoshan down from the third floor."
Without any hesitation, Zheng Yuan abandoned Lin Bai and ran upstairs. Not long later, the beautiful middle-aged woman in her thirties, carrying a little boy, walked downstairs. The child in his arms had a pale green face and a weak aura.
Upon seeing Lin Bai, the beautiful middle-aged woman was about to kneel on the ground. Lin Bai reached out his hand and quickly caught her, "Don't, I can't stand the two of you continuously bowing to me like this. Don't worry, I will do my best in this matter, I definitely won't ruin Mao Mountain's reputation."
"First, carry the child to a sunny place and sit for a while. Let the child experience some yang energy. When you hold the child, caress his back and call him by his name." Lin Bai glanced at the child in the young woman's arms and said.
No one had mentioned this method of bathing in the sun, but this method was commonly known in the countryside as' soul '. During this period of time, the young woman had been quite useful, but it had been of no use.
"Xiu-Er, hurry up! Carry the child out to the sun and scream for the soul! Go!" "When the old man saw that his daughter-in-law's movements were slow, his parental demeanor rose up as he looked at the woman and said harshly.
Seeing the young woman walk out of the yard with the child in her arms, Lin Bai glanced at the house and said softly, "Go to the door, tie up two piles of wormwood and light it up. Let it smoke into the house. I'll go upstairs to take a look."
"Daoist leader, no, Daoist Immortals, I will go out now to prepare. Please go upstairs to take a look." When Zheng Yuan heard Lin Bai's explanation, he felt even more strongly that Lin Baiyuan was not ordinary. The title he used to address him as' Daoist Master 'had once again risen to the level of a deity.
In truth, calling one's soul was all nonsense. It was just that the child's yin energy was too thick, it was possible that he had seen the shadow, so he was frightened, causing the young wife to scream, allowing him to sleep peacefully. As for basking in the sun, it was Lin Bai's many years of experience in the martial arts world.
From Zheng Yuan's nervousness and the child's skin color, it could be seen that this child was usually spoiled to the extreme. He was probably raised in the house for fear of catching a chill after going out. As the saying goes, solitude is the only way to grow. Even flowers and plants would have to grow up in the sun, let alone children. It had nothing to do with anything like a soul.
