Chapter 498: Chapter 501 Who Summoned the Ghost?_1
Yun Xu replied in all seriousness, "Uncle overstates things. Exorcising demons is within my duties as a Taoist priest. I just heard that you suspect a woman has attracted some unclean entity?"
Tan Yuancheng nodded and stole a glance at Qiao Duo’er.
"Women, due to their yin deficiency, are extremely prone to attracting filthy things..."
Yun Xu, seeing the person behind him, changed his tone and said, "However, it depends on the individual. Some people are born with good fortune, and even if they encounter ghosts, the ghosts will go around them."
So it was an old acquaintance, which made this matter much easier to handle.
"This benefactor here has a complexion indicating wealth and prosperity, her face is rosy; it is impossible for her to be tainted by chaotic and sundry entities."
Madam Wang Clan hurriedly said, "That’s impossible. She was a fool before, always greeting people with a silly laugh, and now suddenly she’s not foolish anymore."
Yun Xu’s eyes darted back and forth between Qiao Duo’er and Madam Wang Clan, with no indication of what he was observing.
It wasn’t until a while later that he spoke up, "She’s quite well, Madam. On the contrary, I see dark energy circling your forehead, which might indicate that you’ve attracted something."
"That’s impossible, I’m very healthy!"
Madam Wang Clan denied anxiously, but her body trembled with fear.
"It’s simple to know if you’ve attracted something or not. I will make two bowls of talisman water later, and each of you will drink it. If your bodies do not hurt, then there’s nothing wrong; if the pain is unbearable, then something is causing trouble."
Madam Wang Clan was still skeptical, as she didn’t feel uncomfortable; how could she have attracted a ghost?
Yun Xu added another sentence, "That thing absorbs human yang energy. If it’s not cleansed in time, I’m afraid your life will be at risk."
When it came to the matters of ghosts and deities, as well as her own life and death, Madam Wang Clan dared not take it lightly.
She quickly asked Tan Yuancheng to help set up an altar and placed two bowls of water on the table.
Yun Xu, holding the Peach Wood Sword, jumped around performing what appeared to be divine invocations, and finally lit two pieces of the Talisman Paper and dropped the ashes into the water.
Watching him so engrossed, it was really hard to associate him with a swindler.
But the fact was exactly that, Qiao Duo’er knew because this fellow had come begging for meat to eat. At that time, she saw that he was eloquent but without malice, so she gave him some meat to eat.
Unexpectedly, she ended up helping herself in the end.
"Drink it now," Yun Xu instructed.
Tan Zhenghong suddenly gripped Qiao Duo’er’s hand tight, his eyes full of concern.
Qiao Duo’er smiled faintly, "There won’t be a problem."
She knew all too well about Yun Xu’s juggling tricks.
Qiao Duo’er stood up straight, approached the altar, picked up a bowl of water and drank it in large gulps, though the muddy taste made her frown.
Madam Wang Clan’s demeanor was much diminished as she stood in front of the altar, hesitating for a long time before daring to lift up the bowl.
"Madam, you will be fine once you drink this water," Yun Xu comforted her.
Madam Wang Clan looked at Qiao Duo’er, and seeing that she seemed unharmed, clenched her teeth and also picked up the water from the table to drink.
Before she finished drinking, she threw the bowl down and began to cry out in pain.
Yun Xu waved his whisk, mumbling words, but in reality, he had just pricked Madam Wang Clan’s body with it while he was obscured behind it.
It must be said, the trick he learned from Qiao Duo’er last time was really effective.
When Madam Wang Clan’s pain subsided, Yun Xu had also finished reciting his incantations.
"Madam, your physique is weak, and your yang energy is insufficient. From now on, you must do good deeds and keep a pure heart. If you harbor malicious thoughts again, the unclean entities will return looking for you," Yun Xu said gravely. He considered Qiao Duo’er as his benefactor, yet this woman wanted to harm her. How could he not scare her a little?
"Thank you, Taoist priest. Please accept this small token of my gratitude."
Madam Wang Clan took out her purse and stuffed it into Yun Xu’s hand.
