C54 (2/2)
The secretary was shocked, ”You... ”Who do you want to talk to? Can you tell me?”
Seventh Uncle looked at him with disdain, ”Secretary Li, no matter what the result of this matter, your fault, nobody can protect you. The mayor is here.
Secretary Li immediately became dispirited. With such a huge incident, how could he use their smelly money and insignificant power to quell it? Ridiculous!
We were in the temporary office of the brigade. Secretary Li was taken away by the city police to answer questions, and most of the rest of the staff were from the Bureau. I set up a table in the yard and put some fruits on it.
Seventh Uncle lit three incense sticks in the incense burner and bowed, ”Yellow Springs, your cultivation is deep, why don't you invite ghosts! It will bind her. ”
I smiled. ”Seventh Uncle, no problem. However, if the bridesmaid is reborn, I won't be able to do anything about it.”
”Impossible!” Seventh Uncle seemed very confident. ”I went to the grave earlier in the day, and it's the bridesmaid's grave. The moisture is very heavy, and the ghosts are lingering. It must be nearby!”
I raised my eyebrows and asked, ”Seventh Uncle, you really can't be suspecting that it was a spirit that committed a crime, right? The evil spirits would need at least several decades to absorb yang energy, and the ghosts that have just died for half a year, how can this be possible?
”The boundless universe is full of wonders. We don't know much about the world of ghosts. What if it's her?” Seventh Uncle said solemnly.
I had no choice but to light the candles on both sides. Three talismans were spread out on the table and I took out a brush. I mixed the red sand with the chicken blood and wrote down the name of the bridesmaid and the word 'birth.'
The so called birthdate was the year, month, day, and time of birth. Each corresponding annual column, lunar column, day column, time column. Each of the four pillars was made up of the Sky Dry and Earth Branch. The four pillars corresponded to the eight characters, forming the so-called eight characters.
With the Soul Summoning Talisman in front of him, every single painting seemed to have come to life. He placed the character 'Life Calligraphy' in his palms, placed both of his hands together, and began to chant the Thousand Gold Soul Summoning Tactic. The friction in his palms caused heat to arise, and when his eyes opened, the yellow talisman shot up like lightning like a censer.
I blinked. Why was the yellow paper not burning? With my strength, igniting a piece of yellow paper in my palm shouldn't be a problem. This yellow paper with the word ”birthed” on it is folded and placed in the incense burner. What's going on?
I tilted my head to look at Seventh Uncle and smiled embarrassedly as I checked the yellow paper in the censer. ”Maybe the weather is too hot, and the words on the paper haven't dried yet. I'll try again!”
This time, I raised my breath to my throat and threw out the yellow paper. Like an arrow, the yellow paper leaped into the incense burner but did not burn.
I scratched my head, wondering why I couldn't ignite it! I've tried this method countless times, could there be a problem with the word 'birthdate'? Even I don't believe in this kind of inexplicable excuse. Playing at home and casually taking out a piece of scrap paper can ignite it.
Seventh Uncle stepped forward and looked at the white paper. He lifted my chin with one hand. The thoughtful expression in his eyes made my hair stand on end.
I smiled and politely took Seventh Uncle's hand. ”Seventh Uncle, what are you looking at?”
Seventh Uncle stared and said, ”Huang Quan, tell me honestly, did you lose your body?”
My face instantly turned red, this … A bunch of people stared at me with strange looks in their eyes and silently lowered their heads in acknowledgment.
Seventh Uncle said in a low voice, ”I've told you this more than once. Keep the child here. With you acting like this, it's all over.”
”Then, Seventh Uncle, is there any other way for me to save him?” I lifted my head and hesitated.
”I don't know. Looking at your luck, your physique is special, and I can't be sure if there will be any changes in the future, but the soul summoning in front of me immediately stopped. If the bridesmaid is a ferocious ghost, with your current condition, you won't be able to control it.”
