Chapter 21: Inviting Ninth Uncle Again

  I didn't let Dong Shanshan notice my abnormality, I sent her back to the dorm and told her that I was on vacation, go back to pack up and come see her tomorrow. She happily said: "En, think about it. The past is already in the past. See you tomorrow."

  After watching her go upstairs, I didn't leave directly, but went to the warehouse in their campus to buy a bag of edible salt and a bottle of Hongxing Erguotou. Then I walked out and headed towards the old building. In my mind, there is a clear record in "Sanqing Book". Ordinary people can't see some things, only by relying on some external methods can they temporarily open their eyes to see something. And what I'm referring to here, I suppose everyone has already guessed what it is.

  No mistake, I think this thing is probably haunted by a ghost. You ask me what makes me think so? Then I'll tell you, intuition. This is purely an intuition. Because this building gives me a very disgusting feeling.

  This is the first time I've experienced this since my rebirth in high school, and it's inevitable that I feel tense. Apart from tension, I'm actually a bit excited. After all, now is the time to prove what I've learned. Compared to the feeling of igniting the talisman for the first time in high school, my mood at this moment is even more intense.

  There are usually willow trees in the schoolyard, and although it's already winter now, there are still quite a few withered leaves left on the tree. I happened to grab a handful along the way.

  As we approached the building, the workers had already stopped working due to the accident, and the unfortunate migrant worker had been taken away by car. It was already past four in the afternoon, and the sky was gradually darkening. Due to the recent death, the surrounding area was also becoming increasingly deserted. I didn't get close, but instead found a secluded corner, dug a small hole in the ground, and poured some white wine into it. When half of the bottle was gone, I threw the willow leaves into the hole as well.

  There are many ways to see ghosts, and today I used the 'Yin Wine Weak Water Willow Leaf Method'. As we already know from previous texts, willow trees have the largest yin energy, with five ghostly energies, while wine belongs to yang energy. The principle of these two touching is similar to the harmony of yin and yang. If yin energy is greater than yang energy, the wine will blend and become yin wine, suitable for ghosts and spirits to drink. However, if yang energy exceeds yin energy, the nature of the wine remains unchanged. To open the heavenly eye, one must achieve a balance between yin and yang energies that are mutually conflicting rather than blending. This requires the assistance of salt. In fact, salt has many uses in our daily lives and is often used in folk remedies. In this ritual, salt serves to make the willow leaves and wine incompatible, and with the help of the earth's energy, rubbing one's eyes with a willow leaf can temporarily open the heavenly eye that connects the yin and yang paths.

  I don't know if this thing works or not, but I nervously followed the records of the Sanqing book, taking out the willow leaf and first printing it on my forehead. It is said that from birth, people have the Eight Trigrams on their chest, a lamp on their forehead, and a lamp on each shoulder. When luck is poor, the fire in the lamp weakens, and some unclean things take advantage of the situation to enter. And often, people are more likely to see ghosts at this time. Sometimes I think that this might be the folk explanation for why people always get sick when they're down on their luck.

  I paste the willow leaves dipped in wine on my forehead to block out the lamp on my forehead and temporarily reduce my anger. Then I quickly use two more leaves to wipe my eyes, close them and silently recite: Yin girl six Ding, guard me physically. Yang boy six Jia, protect me spiritually. Open my true eyes. Hurry up like a law enforcement order!

  I suddenly opened my eyes. I looked around and found that there was no difference from usual times. I thought it would have some special effects, but I felt a bit disappointed. I raised my head to look at the seventh floor of that old building. As soon as I did, something unexpected happened.

  No need to say more, I'm sure everyone already has a general idea. On the 7th floor, there was indeed a woman in the Huang household, standing upright and wearing a bright yellow outfit, which was a bit dazzling. What's even more unsettling is that she was also staring at me.

  Damn it, although I said I was prepared, this is the first time in my life that I've seen something like this. How can I not be scared? I feel a chill running down my spine.

  Someone once asked me what it felt like the first time I saw a crab, and my answer was that I wanted to eat it. Someone also asked me what it felt like the first time I saw a spider, and my answer was that I wanted to die. As for what crabs represent and what spiders represent, I won't explain here.

  She might have been watching me all along, either from when I walked over with the wine and salt or possibly even when I was digging the hole.

  It's okay, I'm not seeing a ghost for the first time, and my master is an old ghost anyway. I calmed down a bit mentally, she shouldn't know that I can see her. Now I still don't understand what's going on with her, it's better to avoid provoking her. I looked up at the sky and saw a full moon quietly climbing over the treetops. Coincidentally, today is the 15th.

  Let's withdraw first and go back to school to think about it. After bringing the remaining half bottle of white wine, I took a bus out of the school gate and returned to my dormitory.

  I didn't want to get involved in this trouble, whether she harms people or not has nothing to do with me. But thinking of Dong Shanshan still studying at that school, I thought she might be in danger. No matter how low the probability is, even if it's 0.01%, I won't allow it.

  A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring, even if it's just the favor of a meal. Even though she only listened to my few words of nagging, I still want to strangle the danger that surrounds her in its cradle.

  After returning to the dormitory, it was already six o'clock in the evening. I took out a stainless steel thermos and a small mirror from my luggage. In order to see Ninth Uncle at university, I had packed a thermos of well water in the box when preparing my luggage.

  I put these two things by the bed and lay down on the bed to rest. At 9 o'clock, the lights in the dormitory went out. After a few hours, it was already the hour of the Ox.

  I quietly took the thing and touched under the bed. Came to the toilet. Thinking that it has been almost half a year since I saw my ninth uncle, I don't know if he is doing well now, and whether he will be angry when he sees me like this.

  In a small partition in the toilet, I opened the mirror, poured some well water upwards and concentrated my spirit. This time it seemed to be very smooth. Soon, the air on the mirror surface began to rise. After I softly called out Ninth Uncle's name three times, Ninth Uncle's shadow surprisingly appeared clearly on the mirror surface.

  "Master!" After being away from home for so long, seeing Ninth Uncle was like seeing one of my own elders, and I excitedly called out.

  Ninth Uncle looked like he was wearing a strange outfit, somewhat similar to those worn by attendants in government offices on TV, but I clearly saw that he still had a tie tied around his neck, and I thought this was really too incongruous.

  Ninth Uncle asked me: "Xiao Fei, it's been a long time since we last met. What brings you to see your master this time?"

  You think this old man, half a year ago asked him once, is he not thinking that I just want to find him is something to ask for? He underestimated me too much, but thinking about it is really embarrassing, and this time I was indeed underestimated by him.

  It's good that I didn't turn on the light, he can't see my blue hair. I think Ninth Uncle is not an ordinary person, so I won't be polite with him. So I told Ninth Uncle about the female ghost I saw in Dong Shanshan's old school building and asked if this ghost belongs to what type of ghost. Is the harm index high? I thought Ninth Uncle should understand the term "harm index", after all, he is a person who works in the underworld.

  My ninth uncle was shocked after I finished speaking: "Are you sure it's the Yellow Robed Female Ghost?"

  If it were my old self, I would have definitely said yes. But now I'm not in the mood, so I only said "en" (a casual way of saying yes).

  Ninth Uncle's face changed, and he told me: "Don't delay, you immediately prepare the talisman and go, lest this evil spirit harms people again!"

  "What's going on? I'm all confused. So I told Ninth Uncle, the dormitory door is locked and I couldn't get out. What kind of female ghost is this, is it very fierce?"

  Ninth Uncle said worriedly, "I'm afraid this ghost is about to become an extremely yin and extremely evil entity. Fortunately, she's still wearing yellow clothes, which means she hasn't come into being yet."

  Is this the kind of ghost that exists? I asked Ninth Uncle. Ninth Uncle sighed, and it seemed like he was about to launch into one of his usual lectures. He said: "As the saying goes, 'Three feet above your head, there are spirits; three feet below, ghosts are different.' There are many types of ghosts in this world, formed for various reasons. Buddhist scriptures say that there are thirty-six kinds of ghosts, but in reality, there are many more. The so-called extreme yin and extreme bane refer to a type that is relatively difficult to deal with. This kind of ghost is hard to form because the person must be born at an extremely yin time and die at an extremely yin time in order to become one."

  Damn it, sounds fierce already. Can I handle it myself? I asked Jiu Shu in a hurry, what's the specific method of this ghost? Jiu Shu looked at me and said:

  "Your master, Han You, once told me that it's said that during the Republic of China era, in Handan, Hebei, there was a girl whose whole family was killed, and she personally saw her parents being stabbed to death by thugs. After she died, the thugs brutally cut off her limbs. Born on May 5th, after dying, she lost her mind and wreaked havoc on one side. In the end, she was eliminated by eighteen high-ranking monks, with three of them dying and five injured. You say she's not terrifying?"

  Damn it, eighteen monks ganged up on a female ghost and still managed to get three of them knocked out. How fierce is that? If I were to go there, wouldn't I just be asking for trouble (shit) in the toilet, looking for death?

  My ninth uncle saw that I was afraid, and he said to me: "However, you don't have to be afraid. The fact that this thing is still wearing yellow clothes means it hasn't taken shape yet. At this point, the ghost basically doesn't have much killing power. It's possible that it still has consciousness. But you must stop it from entering again. Because every time it kills someone, its evil energy will increase by three points. If we wait until the yellow clothes on its body turn blue, then it'll be a disaster. All living things within five miles will be slaughtered."

  Five miles? Damn, to put it simply, that woman is basically a timed bomb. If she blows up, forget about Dong Shanshan, the entire school won't be able to escape. When the time comes, Jiangbei will really be lively. At that time, the media will definitely say: A mysterious toxic gas leak occurred in Jiangbei District. And then it will be settled.

  No way, I won't let Dong Shanshan die, I don't want to lose something important again! No matter what! Now that I've made up my mind, I'll die if I have to. I'm going to save her! After making up my mind, I asked Jiu Shu: "Master, how can I eliminate it?"

  My ninth uncle asked me, what is the most proficient talisman I am using now. After listening, I felt very ashamed in my heart. To tell the truth, except for the simplest 'Jiazi Jiang Jie Huo Fu' which I drew because I thought it was fun when I was in high school and the external 'Shiliu Kou Xing Shen Jie Li Fu' which I drew during an exam, I haven't touched talismans again. But these two talismans are basically useless, one is equivalent to a lighter, and the other is equivalent to **********.

  I had no choice but to tell the truth to Ninth Uncle, and he sighed after hearing it: "You this stubborn fool! Your master told you a thousand times to work hard on your cultivation. You just wouldn't listen. This time, we'll really have to see what Heaven has in store for us."
