I saw Ninth Uncle's surprise and told him the origin of these two things. Then I asked him, "Master, what are these two things?"

  "Judging from his serious expression, that piece of skin should be the legendary 'Tai Sui Pi'."

  Tai Sui? Isn't that the top evil spirit in "The Twelve Tai Sui Er Gong Xing Lun"? As it is said, 'When Tai Sui sits on your head, there will be disaster if not calamity.' Generally speaking, people who encounter Tai Sui sitting on their head will either suffer a great calamity or at least shed some blood. There's another interpretation of Tai Sui, which is a type of edible fungus called "Tai Sui" or "Meat Fungus". It is said that those who consume it can attain longevity.

  "Ben Cao Gang Mu" records: "Meat-like Ganoderma is like meat, it is a living thing. The white one is like cut skin, the yellow one is like purple gold, all are bright and transparent like solid ice."

  When I went to college, I watched the educational channel again. One episode introduced a creature called "Taisheng". Scientists call Taisheng: a type of myxomycete, with cell structure close to that of flagellated animals. It is something whose evolutionary level is between algae (cyanobacteria) and protozoa.

  But the 'Tai Sui' in my mind couldn't be connected with this jade-like thing in my hand, so I asked Master Jiū: "Master, isn't Tai Sui an evil god? Why does it have skin?"

  My ninth uncle looked at me and said in a serious tone, "Indeed, the Tai Sui star is the leader of the evil gods. When it shed its skin and ascended to heaven, coincidentally, it didn't completely shed its skin, leaving one piece behind in the mortal world. Because the Tai Sui is an evil star, legend has it that this skin will appear once every three hundred years. After its appearance, a demonic being will be born from it. I heard my master say that someone had seen the Tai Sui skin in the hands of a night fox, so it's likely that the night fox tribe was transformed from this very skin."

  I was shocked, thinking to myself, "Ninth Uncle, the more I listen, the more absurd it sounds!" This is too unrealistic, the more I listen, the more it sounds like those fantasy stories. But Ninth Uncle wouldn't deceive me, looking at this piece of jade in my hand, I really didn't expect it to be such a vicious thing, it seems that I should find a safe place to hide it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it'll be disastrous.

  Damn it, how come I'm so unlucky to have this dangerous thing fall into my hands? I suddenly felt a bit strange, why would someone rob this thing? So I asked Ninth Uncle, what's the specific use of this thing.

  My ninth uncle shook his head and said to me, "Originally, this thing was something that belonged to legend, nobody had ever seen it before. Today, I saw it for the first time, and unexpectedly, it's real. So even I don't know what specific use this thing has."

  I saw that Ninth Uncle couldn't answer me either, so I stopped thinking about it too. I said to Ninth Uncle: "Master, then I'll find a place to bury it in two days, lest it gives rise to another monster."

  My ninth uncle saw that I wanted to bury it and hastily said, "Absolutely not, don't cover it with soil. Haven't you heard the saying 'daring to move earth on Tai Sui's head'? If you bury it, there will definitely be a disaster of blood and light."

  To be honest, I really want to open the window and throw this broken skin out. What is this thing? It's not good to keep it, and it's not good to bury it either. So I asked Ninth Uncle, what should we do? We can't just leave it like this forever.

  My ninth uncle thought for a moment and then said to me, "It's nothing serious. The Tai Sui belongs to the earth element. In the 'Three Pure Ones Incantation', there is a talisman called 'Three Woods Over Water Talisman'. You just need to find a box to put this 'Tai Sui skin' in, and then seal it with the 'Three Woods Over Water Talisman'. Wood overcomes earth, so nine pieces of wood should be able to suppress it, and you should be safe."

  After knowing how to put this thing away, I didn't feel at ease in my heart because I still had a female ghost's tear in my hand. I also don't know if it belongs to something very dangerous. So I asked Ninth Uncle again: "Master, this is roughly the leftover from that yellow-clothed female ghost three years ago. I forgot to ask you, does the female ghost's tear have any way to deal with it?"

  My ninth uncle was surprised to see the female ghost's tears, but his expression relaxed a lot. He said to me: "I didn't expect that you, this naughty boy, would still have one strange encounter after another. Don't worry, this is not an evil spirit, but rather a auspicious thing."

  What's auspicious about it? I don't understand how something produced by such a huge and evil spirit can be auspicious. So I asked Ninth Uncle what was going on.

  The ninth replied, "Originally, all things in the world have yin and yang. As ghosts are yin evil spirits, they cannot have tears. However, as the saying goes, 'nothing is impossible', if a ghost were to cry, its tears would definitely be extremely yang. Although it may not have the effect of 'resurrecting the dead and turning bones into flesh', it can still cure many illnesses, which was something that many emperors in ancient times yearned for."

  I was delighted to hear that, finally some good news, who would have thought it's a panacea? I wonder if it can cure my long-standing hemorrhoids. But thinking twice, using this thing to treat hemorrhoids is really a waste of its potential. These tears are from the unformed 'extreme yin and extreme evil', it seems their effect should be greater than ordinary ghost tears.

  Looking at these two things in my hand, I really can't believe that one is good and the other is bad, and both have a great origin. Although I'm very interested in these things, I know that some things are not to be delved into too deeply, otherwise they will get deeper and deeper. For example, these things that science cannot explain now, who knows what function those tears really have? What if I eat them and end up poisoning myself? Who can I reason with then? After all, even Ninth Uncle has only heard about it, he hasn't eaten it either. So to speak, it's better to store them together instead.

  As the ugly time was about to pass, although the doubts in my heart were not resolved, I also learned a lot of useful information. So I said to Ninth Uncle: "Master, the disciple is fine now, and it's really sorry to have disturbed you for so long."

  Ninth Uncle nodded and said, "It seems that this old man really likes my little apprentice. He told me: 'Xiao Fei, as the saying goes, in the midst of fate, one has free will. Perhaps these two years are also a tribulation that you were destined to have. Don't give up, after all, there is still plenty of time. Moreover, now that two people who possess the "Three Pure Books" have met, if one day you find someone who is proficient in the "Three Pure Divination", you will definitely be able to calculate the location of that female ghost.'"

  Right! How come I didn't think of this?

  But when it comes to "San Qing Bu Suan", I immediately thought of my lost Liu Dage, who has been missing for more than two years and still has no news. Where can I find him? To know that the probability of finding him is the same as finding that female ghost, both are like looking for a needle in the ocean. Besides, even if I found Liu Dage, could his crazy appearance help me with divination?

  It's impossible. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. The successor of the "Three Purities Divination" had gone missing and was an idiot, so there was no point in thinking about it.

  So I said to Ninth Uncle: "I understand now, Master. Thank you. I'll come find you again next time to chat, won't disturb you anymore."

  Ninth Uncle nodded and sighed, then disappeared into the mirror.

  I closed the small mirror, put away those two things, and also let out a long sigh. It seems that the next two years will be really busy. What's going on? Depressing.

  Suddenly I felt very tired, so I lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, my mind was a mess. To think that the two-year countdown had already begun, it seemed that tomorrow I would have to search everywhere for that female ghost. But where should I look? For now, the only way is to continue going to work, after all, there are suspicious people and those who have really seen dirty things at Fukuzawa Hall. Maybe there will be some clues.

  Tragically, I've found myself with no choice but to wait for a rabbit to come and bump into me.

  Just go to sleep, I hope God won't play tricks on me again.

  Closed his eyes and soon fell into a dreamland. As I expected, it was another nightmare.

  The next day, I went back to work at Fuzetang again. Wen Shu saw that I was doing well and was quite happy. After all, when he played against the landlord alone, there was no one to help him watch the cards, which was a very depressing thing.

  It was also a coincidence that on the afternoon of my return to work, Song Jia came to Fuzetang again with her son, and it seemed that Huang Si Nian, this little fatty, was fine. As soon as Song Jia entered the house, she pulled Wen Shu's hand and praised him as a living god because since he posted Wen Shu's symbol, the cyst on his son's back had been getting smaller day by day, and finally it automatically cracked and fell off.

  Now the little fatty is jumping around again, so she hurriedly brought her son to thank Uncle Wen for his life-saving grace. In addition to stuffing another big red envelope into Uncle Wen's hands, she also presented a brocade banner with four large golden characters "Folk Hero" that shone brightly and was somewhat dazzling.

  Although Wen Shu was stunned for a moment, he quickly regained his composure and put on a solemn expression, looking mysterious and profound. He said to Song Jia: "Capturing demons and subduing monsters is my duty, Miss Song, you don't have to do this. That strange snake won't come looking for trouble again in the future. Originally, it's not reasonable to accept your money for something that's my duty? But I know that if I don't accept it, you'll feel uneasy in your heart. Alright, I'll just symbolically accept it as a gift. As a return gift, I'll give you three yellow talismans. Take them back home and stick them on the wall to ensure peace and safety in your household, free from illness and disaster."

  I was holding back my laughter beside him, listening to Wen Shu finish speaking, thinking that if it were up to his broken symbol, Huang Si Nian would have taken the car ticket long ago, and it's not like it's thanks to me and Lao Yi's efforts.

  This old scoundrel, his verbal skills are really formidable, he can even make receiving a red envelope seem so justified, and makes Song Jia feel like she's received a great favor again, it's simply outrageous.

  But Song Jia didn't know about this, she really took Wen Shu as a living god this time. When she heard that Wen Shu was going to give her the charm again, she immediately thanked him thousands of times. I thought these old women were just like Fan Zhu Shi, being slaughtered like a fat sheep without even knowing it.

  Wen Shu was dealing with her while asking me to go get the token, so I went. As I passed by Song Jia and her mother, I inadvertently turned my head back and saw that Huang Si Nian, this little fatty, was staring at me with a smile all over his face. At this time, his eyes were completely different from when I last saw him, without any confusion.

  I don't know why. Looking at the child's current appearance, my inner worries have actually eased a lot. Ah, maybe this is exactly what I wanted to see.

  A month later, Yi Xin Xing was discharged from the hospital. To celebrate, I invited him to dinner that night. At the dinner table, both of us drank a lot of wine. He's actually quite capable of holding his liquor too. From him, I learned that Song Jia had also sent a silk banner with the words "Folk Hero" to Yi Fu Guan. Perhaps she wasn't clear whose symbol was effective either, so she just sent the same amount of money and a silk banner to both places.

  It's interesting enough, but I don't know what Wen Shu and Lin Shu will think after they find out about this matter.

  At the dinner table, I told Yi Xinxing what Ninth Uncle had told me, including the clues about the female ghost and the 'Ta Sui Pi' matter. Old Yi let out a belch, smiled wryly and said to me: "Let's take it one step at a time, just leave that piece of skin with you for now, if we can find that female ghost within these two years then great, but if we can't...".

  "I'll fight him to the death if I can't find it."

  Lao Yi also drank too much, he laughed loudly and said: "Right, let's have a drinking contest with him!"

  I also forgot how many bottles of wine I had that day, anyway it was me who took a taxi to send him back home, after seeing him go upstairs, I also took a taxi back home.

  In the following days, Fuzetang didn't have anything else happen. This made me a bit impatient, so I started searching online to see if there were any strange occurrences in Harbin recently. But still nothing was found.

  I've got a burning sensation in my heart, thinking about that female ghost sister, can't you just commit a crime or something, so that we can know where you are.

  Finally, when the year-end was approaching, a strange thing happened, and this matter seemed to be a catalyst that made me fall into a deep fog again.
