It was only when Daoist Yin withdrew his gaze and led us to our seats that I felt more at ease.
He sat down at the head of the table and looked at the sapphire ring on my finger.
With a calm expression, no one knew what he was thinking.
Daoist Yin took a sip of tea and said, "According to my observation, the ghost that pestered my wife is a highly cultivated ghost. Because of the past and present, this is the so-called cause and effect." He had already cultivated to a Ghost King with formidable mana. If you want to get rid of him, you must find out his weakness, and Madame is his weakness in heart. Tonight's eclipse is the Ghost King's weakest day, so we need to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate him.
What this Taoist said about the cause and effect of Huangfu Ming and I in our previous lives was basically true. It seemed that he truly did have some ability.
"Leader, will you hurt my wife?" Chu Yi Bai was a little worried that he would hurt me in the middle of things.
Daoist Yin shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chu. I know what I'm doing."
"That's good, thank you Taoist-sir!" So what do we need to do now? "
"Rest well and wait for the night. This Penniless Priest will go prepare first. The two of you can do as you wish." After saying that, Daoist Yin walked out of the room.
I put down my teacup. "Yibai!"
Chu Yibai took a sip of his tea. When he heard me call out to him, he also put down his cup. "What's the matter, Shan Shan?"
"I'm a little scared!"
I don't know what I'm afraid of. Worried about myself? Worried about Chu Yubai? Or perhaps Huangfu Ming?
His heart was in chaos.
Chu Yibai grabbed my hand and rubbed it, comforting me, "Don't be afraid. With me here, and also Daoist Yin, we won't let you get hurt."
"Yes."
"If you like it, drink more. Rest up and you might have to work a bit harder tonight." Chu Yibai told me to drink some tea and poured another cup for me.
"Yes." Yi Bai, how did you find this Taoist? Did you spend a lot of money? "
This Taoist is deep in the mountains and in the forest. I don't think ordinary people would be able to find him here.
Last time, that so-called Daoist Master Chu Yi Bai had spent quite a bit of money in vain. Who knew how much he had spent to hire this Daoist Priest.
"It was introduced by the company's partners. He didn't spend any money. It's said that Daoist Priest Yin did whatever he wanted and didn't accept any gift money. Otherwise, he would have been very angry and kicked out without a trace of politeness."
Chu Yi emptied his cup and didn't add any more tea.
"Yibai, you drink more too!"
"I don't like it. Drink more. It's good for your health." I know that Chu Yi Bai gave it to me on purpose. If it really didn't taste good, then according to his usual habit, he wouldn't even drink a sip. Moreover, when I saw him savoring the taste of the tea, he seemed very satisfied.
Just because I like it, I want it all to be left to me.
Thank you, Yibai, for doing so much for me.
I understood him, so I didn't force him and changed the topic. "Is it reliable?"
"It should be possible. Even if he can't, we can look for someone else. As long as you can get rid of that ghost, I'm willing to find all the capable people in the world for you. "Shan Shan, don't worry, I won't let him hurt you again." Chu Yibai said this confidently.
"But his magic power is so profound. I'm afraid he might hurt you."
Huangfu Ming's mana is deep and profound, there is no doubt about it. In the past, he didn't touch Chu Yibai because of me.
But now that we are going against him in such a manner, if he becomes ruthless, I cannot guarantee that he won't hurt Chu Yibai.
"It's fine, I'll be fine." Chu Yubai seemed to be very relaxed.
Because my stamina was limited, after eating lunch, I slept in Chu Yi Bai's embrace for the entire afternoon.
When he woke up, the sky had already darkened. The stars and moon were nowhere to be seen, and the courtyard was completely quiet.
Chu Yi Bai and I were invited out of the guest room by the little Daoist.
In the courtyard, Priest Yin had already set up the altar, and everything was ready on the table.
The yellow robe was painted with a black eight trigrams diagram, and the entire body was covered by the gossip. He held a white horsetail whisk in his hand, and if his hair and beard were replaced with white, he would look just like Old Lord Taishang.
Opposite the altar was an old armchair, its paint mottled.
"Please sit!"
Chu Yibai helped me to a chair and stood beside me.
"Mr. Chu, please step aside!"
"Alright."
When I heard that I was going to make Chu Yibai avoid it, I panicked and couldn't help but clench my fist.
Chu Yibai gently lowered his head and kissed my forehead. "Don't worry, it's fine."
I nodded reluctantly and let go of his hand as if it were a lifeline. After he left, my heart drifted like duckweed in the endless sea of darkness.
Seeing Chu Yibai enter into a small room in a corner with the Daoist priest, Daoist Yin walked in front of me and said, "Mrs. Chu, this humble Taoist needs a hair of yours."
I grabbed a hair and gave it to him.
Daoist Yin took the hair and walked to the altar, then murmured something to his hair. He was surprised and said, "Mrs. Chu's fate is unusual, the breath in her hair is more likely to absorb unclean breath, this way you will be more likely to provoke ghosts."
"Then what should I do?" My heart skipped a beat. He could figure that out too.
Daoist Yin looked at me. "That depends on luck."
He put my hair in yellow paper, folded into a triangle. He chanted an incantation, and the yellow paper suddenly burned.
The paper fell into the incense burner bit by bit, and the smoke that had been curling up from the incense began to straighten out the moment I went in, until it was like a thin white stick, standing on top of the incense.
The incense continued to burn.
The sight amazed me.
After doing all this, Daoist Yin swung his horsetail whisk, and a thick white rope shot out from the horsetail whisk, firmly binding me to the chair.
Because Daoist Priest Yin said that I was Huangfu Ming's weakness, he tied me up, and then used my blood to summon Huangfu Ming. He made him think that I was hurt so he could force him to show himself.
How detestable I was to use Huangfu Ming's love for me to harm him.
But it can't be blamed on me.
His love troubled me, and I wanted to defend myself.
Yes, that was it.
As I thought about it, my disdain for myself lessened.
Daoist Yin waved his horsetail whisk.
The rope was gone, but I could still feel it on me.
When all this was done, Daoist Priest Yin took a drop of blood from my fingertip and placed it on the ring.
The sapphire blue ring slowly absorbed the drop of blood, and then the entire sapphire stared at me like a bloodshot blue eye, as if Huangfu Ming was staring at me with bloodshot eyes.
Thunder rumbled in the night sky, deafening the entire mountain.
The trees in and out of the yard were rustling in the wind, and the sound was unnerving.
Mountain beasts howled in disorder, and mountain birds were scared and sent flying.
Even the yellow talismans on the altar were being blown into the air one by one, and were it not for the pressure from the incense burner, these yellow talismans would have been blown into the air long ago.
However, Huangfu Ming was still not seen in the courtyard.
I am actually a little happy.
Daoist Yin's robe was puffed up by the wind. He closed his eyes, waved his horsetail whisk, and chanted a spell that he couldn't understand.
The invisible rope suddenly tightened, and I was in pain, trying not to make a sound.
But the rope tightened and the pain grew stronger.
I cursed in my heart. This damned old Taoist, didn't he say he knew his limits? Why did he make me suffer so much?
Liar! Big liar!
I was still holding it in, the sweat drooping, the tears filling my eyes, the tears and sweat dripping onto the ring.
The ring vibrated slightly on my finger.
Was he coming?
The rope was still tightening. I couldn't help but shiver as I screamed.
Huangfu Ming descended from the sky and landed between me and the altar.
Every time he appeared, he would wear a white robe and a folding fan. For some unknown reason, people would think that he was an immortal who had descended to the mortal world. In reality, he was just a great demon.
"My wife!" Huangfu Ming waved his fan and rushed to my side while Daoist Priest Yin was dodging. He examined my body from left to right and asked, "My wife, what's wrong?"
The rope loosened the moment Huangfu Ming appeared. I looked at him weakly. "What are you doing here?"
"My wife, don't worry. I will definitely kill anyone who hurts you without a burial ground."
Finished speaking, Huangfu Ming stood in front of me and looked at Daoist Yin.
"Evil creature, you've finally appeared!" Daoist Yin looked down from above like a law enforcer.
"Smelly old Daoist, it's not up to you to meddle in this person's affairs." She is my woman, if you dare to touch her, you are courting death! "Give me your life." Huangfu Mingyin ruthlessly spoke as he flipped his palm downwards. He then grabbed with his palm, and a strong current of air started rotating with Huangfu Ming as the center.
Huangfu Ming was instantly surrounded by the whirlpool of air. The leaves on the ground were also swept into the flow of air.
In the blink of an eye, all of the Qi flow had gathered in Huangfu Ming's hands. It was like a thick air current whip, hovering on the ground for a long time.
When Daoist Yin saw this, he neither hurried nor slowed down. He silently chanted an incantation, and the rope on my body loosened. Like a snake, I charged towards Huangfu Ming and tied him up, binding both of his hands and feet.
Huangfu Ming's face was filled with astonishment. His face darkened, and his brows were tightly knitted. His long and narrow eyes radiated a murderous madness.
"How does the Soul Devouring String taste? This is something This Penniless Priest has specially prepared for you! " Daoist Yin looked at Huangfu Ming complacently.
Huangfu Ming smirked and said with a bloodthirsty smile, "What is your relationship with Xi Men Yu? There was only one Soul Devouring String in this world, and that was Xi Men Yu's. Since you have his Soul Devouring Rope, you must be one of his people! "
"So what if I am? So what if it wasn't? The lord knows that you have this woman in your heart, and wants me to set a trap to get rid of you. The underworld rules state that the ghosts of the underworld cannot hurt mortals. I'm a mortal, you can't hurt me. And I can hurt you, or even kill you. "
What?
This stinky old Daoist was actually one of Xi Men Yu's men. It turned out that all of this was a trap, and I was just a pathetic person who was being used, or a ignorant human who had helped the evildoer.
I even had the heart to kill him.
Just as I thought about tearing open the old path on my body, I saw Huangfu Ming come back to his senses and look straight at me, "Did you call him to come and take me in? Everything that happened just now was demonstrated to me? "
"Yes." "I hate you. I don't want you to pester me. As long as I kill you, I'll be free."
I forcefully lifted the corner of my mouth into a smile, but I felt that my smile must be uglier than crying.
