Xie Weiming’s son, Xie Yiyuan, had ended up encountering a ghost somewhere, and he had already invited many monks and Daoists to take a look.
But these days, there were few monks and Daoists who really had the skills, and the people nowadays weren’t as attentive to detail as before. In the past they always had to consider the taboos before they did anything.
Xie Weiming had corresponded with the old man many times, asking him to save his son.
He had no confidence in Ning Shu inwardly, but for his son, he had no choice but to try all possible options. If she couldn’t handle it, she would definitely call her master to come over.
Ning Shu took out a paper talisman and put it between her fingers. The paper talisman ignited into flames, dispersing the lingering Yin energy in the room. She then entered the room.
Ning Shu opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight immediately projected into the room, shining on Xie Yiyuan on the bed.
The room was dark before, so Ning Shu hadn’t clearly seen Xie Yiyuan’s condition. She could now see that his face was blue and swollen, and there was a bandage on his forehead.
Because of the intense light, he was visibly uncomfortable. He writhed and roared at Ning Shu, who was standing by the bed.
He was not talking, but rather, giving animalistic growls.
Ning Shu took the paper talisman and pasted it on his forehead. His body shook, his face twisted, and a black gas came out of his eyebrows. A few moments later, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
“What’s the matter with his face?” Ning Shu asked Xie Weiming.
Xie Weiming sighed and said, “If you don’t tie him up, he’d hit himself against the wall and jump down from the upstairs. He was terrified of the light. As soon as the curtain opened, he would go crazy.”
Ning Shu ignored the unconscious Xie Yiyuan. Instead, she took out the compass to check the feng shui of the villa. Was there anything wrong with this location?
These days, people rarely considered the feng shui of their house. Sometimes, when Yang people lived in a house with a lot of Yin energy, accidents tended to happen at home a lot. This was also how the haunted houses that were prone to accidents came into being. People who died in a haunted house would gather resentment.
If someone moved into such a room, they likely either wanted to die or felt that their life spans were too long.
Ning Shu’s feng shui ability was only at a passing level. She could only see good or bad luck and was unable to change the feng shui by adjusting objects.
The villa’s feng shui had no problems. Usually, the rich were very particular about it because they would lose everything if they didn’t pay attention.
After checking the feng shui, Ning Shu went back to Xie Yiyuan’s room and took his pulse.
Xie Yiyuan wasn’t possessed, but baleful energy had entered his body. Thus, his body was in a chaotic state, and his internal organs’ magnetic field was affected by evil energy.
Due to the corrosion of the baleful energy, Xie Yiyuan would have an early death.
Ning Shu set down her cloth bag. She took out willow leaves, calamus, and all kinds of things needed to exorcise evil spirits.
“Where’s the kitchen? I need to boil this,” asked Ning Shu.
Xie Weiming took Ning Shu to the kitchen. However, he was also worried that she wouldn’t know how to use the things in the kitchen and asked his servants to help.
Rather than boiling things with tap water, Ning Shu used the rootless water from the Daoist temple. Rootless water was rainwater that didn’t fall on the ground.
When the pot bubbled, Ning Shu lit a paper talisman and put its burned black ash in the pot.
When Xie Weiming saw the black poison-like mixture in the pot, his face twitched, and he asked, “What’s wrong with my son?”
“Baleful energy and Yin energy have taken root in his body. He encountered something evil,” replied Ning Shu while staring at the pot.
