"Why don't you just tell me how to do it? Why are you so long-winded?" Shen Bing wrinkled his nose and took out a yellow talisman from his bag.
I'm so shocked. I'm asking you to learn more. Practice alone is not enough. You have to understand some theory.
Shen Bing put a talisman to ward off evil spirits on his hand, grabbed an iron bar as thick as his arm in front of us, and pulled it up with force. The iron bar was more than three feet long, and he couldn't pull it out completely at once. When Shen Bing was about to stand up, he suddenly found bright red blood on the iron bar.
I thought to myself, this is not cinnabar, it has been two days, it should have dried up long ago, this is blood. I hurriedly said, "Hurry up and nail it down!" and asked Shen Bing to nail the iron bar back down.
"What's wrong?" Shen Bing asked with a pair of confused eyes.
"It's too late. The iron has pierced my heart and cannot be removed." I turned to the entrance of the grave and asked, "Sister-in-law, did you feel uncomfortable just now?"
"Yeah, just now my heart felt like someone had taken my heart away... I feel much better now."
"What should we do then?" Shen Bing asked anxiously.
I touched my nose and frowned, saying, "There are two ways. One is to open an altar and perform a ritual, using the Samadhi True Fire Talisman to transform the golden energy, so that the stake can be pulled out. But if we perform the ritual in the fields in broad daylight, the villagers will definitely not approve if they see us."
"What about the second option?"
"Open the grave and let the sister-in-law come out."
Shen Bing looked at me blankly for a long time, then rolled her eyes and said, "It's the same as saying nothing. It's impossible to perform a ritual, let alone rescue my sister-in-law. What kind of bad idea is this?" She rolled her eyes and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Hey, didn't you use the backlash last time? Can't you just destroy this ritual?"
I shook my head. "It depends on the timing. Like the last time we blocked the returning evil ghost, we could have done it before the soul arrived. But now the person has been pierced through the heart by an iron weapon. If we do it again, it will be counterproductive, just like a fierce corpse that intensifies the pain. We can't touch it again. We can only use Samadhi True Fire to resolve it!"
Shen Bing scratched his head and said, "Why don't we hold a ceremony tonight?"
I touched my nose and thought that this was the only way. Not only did I have to resolve the iron piercing my heart, but I also had to break this evil situation. Otherwise, after the 49 days, Zhao Xiaosheng would be in trouble. And my sister-in-law had been buried in the evil tomb for so many days, it was hard to get rid of the evil spirits on her body. Even if she could survive, she would only live for two or three years at most. Damn it, who is so vicious to poison these helpless mother and daughter
We consoled the eldest sister-in-law and said we would come over tonight to find a way to cure her cold hands and feet and rotten forehead, and then we left. Before leaving, Zhao Xiaosheng stared at us with hostile eyes, which made us feel very uncomfortable. This child had suffered a misfortune and might have been psychologically distorted. This age is a critical stage, and she might go down the wrong path.
Walking back to the village entrance, Shen Bing asked me if I was still looking for Gong Cuiruo's foot ashes. I said that I now suspected that the old lady and Gong Cuiruo were deliberately taking revenge on Zhao Chengshi's family. Maybe Zhao Chengshi had already guessed that he would be retaliated by his enemies if something happened to him, so he kept it to himself and didn't let them find the foot ashes. But he didn't expect that the other party still didn't let go of his wife and children.
Wait until you understand the reason and then decide whether to help or not.
Shen Bing frowned and asked, "If we don't help them, what if they tell others about our connection with Master Qi and Master Ba?"
I sighed and said, "At most, our whereabouts will be exposed. At worst, we will have to move."
