Chapter 0005: Opening the Eyes

The price of just a single yellow cow made him hesitate

It is rumored that the night crow can perceive life and death, therefore, between midnight and the hours of Zi and Yin, one must catch a blue-eyed crow from a withered tree on a grave, vivisect its eye, soak it in hot water, and then swallow it whole, being careful not to bite into it

The water ghost glanced at Wei Yuan and said

The scorching heat appeared on the waist token of the hidden tiger. Wei Yuan had experienced this twice and had gained some experience. He found a piece of white paper and pressed the side with the character 'Wei' onto it. One by one, the characters began to reappear. Wei Yuan raised his eyes to look over.

There is a ghost behind you

He looked towards the last method

No, I am not at the point of allowing you to get involved in such matters

Wei Yuan's eyes glimmered slightly

The one on the left, swollen from soaking, is clearly a water ghost

There is a ghost behind him

The willow branch strikes the ghost three inches lower, and the willow leaf can briefly activate the Yin-Yang Eye Technique, but the prerequisite is to possess Taoist cultivation. If one is merely a mortal with ordinary eyesight, prior preparation is necessary. One must soak mixed Yin objects in morning dew, then immerse the willow leaves in it until the hour of the Rat, at which point the heavy Yin energy will ensure success. By using the willow leaves dipped in this water to wipe around the eyes, one can perceive the Yin and Yang.

Wei Yuan was slightly taken aback, noticing the subtle nuances in the text

The murmurs of discussion can be heard among the surrounding crowd

The fourth method involves, during the hour of Yin when the energy is at its heaviest, setting up an Eight Trigrams formation at the foot of the mountain. Twelve bright lanterns illuminate the surroundings, and a bowl of morning dew is placed in the center. Blood is taken from the tip of the ring finger and mixed with the dew. While reciting the incantation 'Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang,' one can perceive ghostly entities

I inexplicably moved into a place haunted by ghosts, and although I was determined not to pay any attention to the red embroidered shoes, the next day I encountered a ghost again. No matter how bold I was, I still felt a bit uneasy. At the very least, if I opened my eyes, it would be easier to escape. On the other hand, I was also somewhat curious.

The speechless Wei Yuan gently pushed aside with his finger and said

Or perhaps it is they themselves

To find the scalper, go to the chaotic graveyard and cut a handful of the grown ink grass

A woman with silver-white strands of hair was faintly seen, crying as if she had lost her soul

Or is it that this gentleman is unwilling to pay us any attention

He looked up in the direction of the second ghost, barely making out its outline. He lowered his head slightly and reached out to tousle his hair

Sigh, indeed

This young woman got involved with a good-for-nothing, which led to her becoming pregnant. Unwilling to terminate the pregnancy, she had a falling out with her family. The good-for-nothing ended up in jail, and she, being stubborn, managed to raise her daughter on her own with great difficulty. Just as she was looking forward to enjoying a better life, her daughter was harmed.

He saw things that are invisible to the naked eye

What is the matter?

But he can hit me, and he strikes quite hard

Wei Yuan once again excluded these two options from his mind

Wei Yuan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp as he took a step forward, simultaneously turning his head to look back.

This object is likely to have killed them, or it is the most deeply entrenched obsession for them

The water ghost said with melancholy: "You see, the girl he brought back from that outing isn't talking either."

However, most of those who have endured it wish they had never embarked on this path

The woman on the right has a pale face, which may indicate that she has died from accidental pesticide ingestion

Tick, tick ... ...

There are numerous discussions and opinions

I said, it seems that this gentleman cannot hear us speaking

The spellcasters were all blinded by the pecking of the night crows, and subsequently died from being devoured by the flock of crows, their bodies covered in rotting flesh

Yuan Yuan, how can Mom live without you, Yuan Yuan...

Return to feed the cow, and on the next day at the hour of the tiger, when the yin energy is at its peak, if the cow begins to be restless and vocalizes, it should be slaughtered. Take the cow's bile and mix it with mint, licorice, and morning dew, along with fragments of yin substances. If it is a spiritual yin substance, the requirements for other materials can be reduced; the most common yin substance is ash.

This is truly unbelievable

Shh ... ...

The third method is to find a black dog that has seen a ghost; it must be completely black, with not a single spot of other colors. It should be killed at the stroke of midnight, using a peach wood dagger to pierce its heart. The blood from the heart should then be dripped into the eyes. This method is fraught with peril, with a nine out of ten chance of death, but if one survives, they will be able to unlock the Yin-Yang Eye technique, which will remain effective for a lifetime.

Speak softly, do not look back

The two paper figures trembled as they prepared to jump into the water

Then one can only take oneself to the ophthalmology hospital

It is the method of the Left Path obtained by the Inspector of the Sili during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han

Unable, impoverished

After consuming it, one can perceive the duality of life and death.

There is also a figure dressed in ancient clothing, with a gaping, grotesque wound on its chest, yet it is a ghost of weaponry.

Every time I open my eyes, I need to wipe them repeatedly

... ...

Willow leaves wipe the eyes

Using ashes, Wei Yuan cannot overcome that psychological barrier. Moreover, there are plenty of阴物 in this house.

Night has fallen, and the ominous energy rises, causing mortals to retreat

Wei Yuan recalled that image, along with the eerie red embroidered shoes, and paused.

Thinking that there was still plenty of time, I returned to the old house once more. I took some items, and on my way back, I passed by Fuchun Community. I saw several cars and a crowd of people gathered at the entrance of the community, faintly hearing the sound of a woman wailing.

People fear ghosts because they fear the unknown; however, once they truly come into contact with it, they will not be as afraid.

However, there is a high probability of encountering problems, provoking retaliation from the night crows, and even facing the pursuit of night crow monsters

The willow leaves are easy to speak of, as spring has just begun, and there are many newly sprouted leaves on the willow trees

There was no time to think, and the words continued to appear.

This thing looks too shabby when soaked in water

This sentence was spoken by Wei Yuan

Duration, a cup of tea

Look at the remaining three types

The corners of the mouth twitched as I pushed aside the dimly sinister DDT.

It is the household of the family whose daughter has died

It is impossible to open the Great Han Treasure Vault, which means that it is possible that the Great Han Treasure Vault still exists in this era

A cool sensation seeped into the depths of the eyes

The water ghost is sitting in front.

Those two paper figures are inherently objects of the yin nature

Is eating this thing deadly

Black hair drips down with water

With a head of black hair, she is dressed in a long skirt, and on her feet are a pair of three-inch golden lotus shoes with red soles and gold embellishments

In short, be careful, did you hear that? I am talking about you, do not go out alone at night

Applying the mixed liquid around the eye sockets will enable one to possess a considerable duration of the Yin-Yang Eye after seven days

From that devilish movement, he could actually discern a hint of bashful shyness.

The sound of water, however, came from behind.

Among these five types of methods, the most commonly used object is ashes.

It is now afternoon, there is no dew, and distilled water can be used

The materials have been prepared

Finally, I took a look at it; it was a broken eight-sided sword, with only the hilt and a small section of the blade remaining. Its length was similar to that of a dagger, which barely satisfied Wei Yuan

When he was able to see these ghosts, the influence of the阴气 in the willow leaf water allowed him to hear sounds that were previously inaudible, such as the sound of dripping water and the conversations of several ghosts ahead. These sounds were initially vague but gradually became clearer

Although it certainly cannot compare to morning dew, if there are spiritual entities involved, the requirements for other materials can be relaxed to some extent. After all, it is just an attempt, and there is no significant loss in case of failure

Then, the densely appearing text reveals the method by which an ordinary mortal can use their own eyes to see ghosts and spirits. It is indeed a method that does not require any Taoist cultivation. The first method is cow tears, but it is not simply the tears of ordinary livestock that are to be dropped into the eyes

I do not know who did it

He soaked the sword in water, added a few willow leaves, and, guided by the paper figure, placed it in the area with the heaviest阴气, considering it done. Next, it was just a matter of waiting until midnight, which would signify that the task was complete

There are five categories of side doors, which do not require any Taoist practice, to open one's vision and to investigate the yin and yang

A chilling despair that weighs heavily on the heart

Wei Yuan could not help but close his eyes, and it took a long while before he slowly opened them again

Wei Yuan was originally listening with a tense expression, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly felt something was amiss, and a chill ran down his back

The remaining three spirits, along with the objects associated with them, also include some that are of a sinister nature

The Inspector of the Capital has neither slain demons nor ghosts, nor apprehended those who disrupt the worship, and thus has no merits to speak of, rendering the treasury inaccessible

After a flurry of activity, I returned home

This method poses little risk and has lasting effects, yet Wei Yuan can only regretfully abandon it

However, support is needed; otherwise, when a lamp goes out, one will also become a wandering spirit.

The risks are too great

Indeed, I think he cannot hear either, and he is quite handsome

This is it

As night falls at the hour of Zi, the yin energy rises, and mortals retreat

At least he is not afraid at all of the several harmless wandering spirits in this house. Sitting at the table, he gently tapped his waist badge with his right hand. In front of him, two paper figures, the yin entities, huddled together, trembling. The remaining old ghosts were also quite obedient, reluctantly taking out their own yin entities at Wei Yuan's request

I truly do not intend to enter the ophthalmology hospital, nor can I find a celestial master to provide support

Wei Yuan felt a chill rising from behind him

Wei Yuan pressed his lips together and left while holding something.

Tick, tock

Aside from the cumbersome preparation, both the risks and costs are within an acceptable range for Wei Yuan

Wei Yuan looked at the various ghostly items that the others had taken out. Among them was a foul-smelling, blackened piece of rotten fishing net, seemingly pulled from an unknown source. Another item was a large green bottle, about the size of an arm. When Wei Yuan turned to take a glance, he saw the words "Didiwei" written on it, causing his eyelid to twitch.

In the fifth year of the Yongjian era of the Great Han Dynasty, the first generation of Celestial Master Zhang Daoling transmitted teachings that enable mortals to encounter wandering souls and ghostly messengers.

Some guests, invisible to the naked eye, may arrive at this time

Although Wei Yuan was mentally prepared, he was still almost startled by the appearance of the three ghosts opposite him

Two little paper figures rolled away from the water bowl in a panic, huddling together in a shivering bundle

Lowering his head, he remains silent

Then, with a face full of anticipation, I waited until midnight. Holding the Hu Tiger waist token in one hand, I instructed the several spirits opposite me to remain still. With my left hand, I picked up a willow leaf and, with a sense of ritual, brushed it across my eye sockets.

The second method is quick to take effect, has lasting results, but carries slight risks

Wei Yuan slowly exhaled, still feeling a hint of absurdity and tension in his heart, followed by a trace of excitement

Those who serve as the Colonel of the Commandery can slay demons and exorcise ghosts, and by virtue of their merits, they may enter the treasury of the Han Dynasty to obtain the treasures and weapons for vanquishing evil
