Chapter 6 makes its appearance

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

He said with annoyance: "What are you playing at with this attraction between the opposite sexes? And about the scent you like, oh my, why don't you just say you want to fall at my feet?"

"You have a scent that I really like..." The malevolent spirit on Wang Linzhu completely ignored Xiang Que's warning and advanced step by step.

Xiang Que is engaged in a battle of wits with the malevolent spirit, attempting to force it out, while the spirit is desperately trying to re-enter Wang Linzhu's body to remove the talismans and coins. The two are in a constant stalemate, pulling and tugging at each other.

Sweat began to bead on his bald head; he already lacked practical experience, and after battling the fierce ghost for such a brief moment, he was beginning to exceed his limits, resulting in significant mental exhaustion

Wang Linzhu was possessed by a malevolent spirit, and this talisman can restore her clarity and regain her sanity, as the saying goes, so that she will not be led astray by the ghost.

"Oh no, it seems like things have escalated." Xiang Que felt a bit flustered; originally, being possessed by a ghost was not too serious, but the fact that the purification talisman was ineffective after the possession indicated that this was no ordinary spirit, but rather a malevolent ghost with profound powers.

With a disdainful spit, she wrinkled her nose and reached into her bag to pull out a talisman. Then, she suddenly raised her right foot and kicked it forcefully into Wang Linzhu's stomach.

However, this scene lasted only for a moment, and Wang Linzhu reverted to her original form possessed by the vengeful spirit, while the talisman paper floated down to the ground without any wind.

Quickly dodging, he bent down and lowered his head to evade two clawed hands when he sensed danger. Then, with a push of his right foot against the wall, he sprang out, rolling on the ground to swiftly create distance from Wang Linzhu.

Unexpectedly, the opponent was extremely fast; after turning their body, they directly lunged sideways at an exceedingly strange angle towards the gap on the ground.

The copper coin struck Wang Linzhu with a dull thud, causing her to unexpectedly flip backward despite not being kicked. Wang Linzhu's body soared into the air and fell heavily to the ground, emitting a sharp scream from her mouth, clearly indicating that this sudden impact caused her immense pain

As the incantation directed towards the missing mouth was recited faster and faster, the dark energy surrounding Wang Linzhu gradually intensified. The talisman on her forehead seemed to flutter on its own without any wind, as if it wanted to detach again, yet it never floated away. Instead, the three copper coins became increasingly embedded in her body, appearing as if they were about to be clamped into her flesh.

Xiang Que felt that he might have underestimated his opponent a bit, as he did not expect to encounter a tough adversary on his first descent from the mountain.

Chanting incantations, the person swiftly lunged towards Wang Linzhu on the ground, and the talisman was once again slapped onto the opponent's forehead with a "pop".

As a talisman was affixed, Wang Linzhu suddenly became motionless, her body swaying in place. A faint black mist emerged on the surface of her body. At that moment, Wang Linzhu's originally murky gaze surprisingly began to regain its clarity, and a trace of pain appeared on her face. Instead of a sinister smile, she let out a cry of anguish.

A person and a ghost had been in a stalemate for nearly ten minutes when the dark energy surrounding Wang Linzhu suddenly coalesced into a mass, which then shot out from the top of her head and swiftly floated a short distance away, taking shape, while the talismans and coins on her body fell to the ground

Wang Linzhu let out a series of sinister chuckles, her head slightly lowered with long hair hanging beside her face, her eyes rolling as she gradually moved closer, step by step.

With a curse, he rolled over like a lazy donkey, rolling several times in succession. This time, before he could get up, he fished out a Wanli Tongbao from his pocket and threw it at Wang Linzhu, who was preparing to pounce again.

Xiang Que, with his back against the wall and no way to retreat, suddenly raised his arms and exerted force with his legs to leap towards Wang Linzhu, who was only three to four meters away. Her nails glimmered with a dark red hue, and a foul, fishy odor emanated from her open mouth.

I know you can understand what I am saying, so I will give you another chance. Come out from her body. Although you are a vengeful spirit, I can help you find a high monk for your liberation. It is not impossible for you to enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn.

After Xiang Que completed all of this, Wang Linzhu on the ground rolled incessantly, shouting repeatedly, appearing to be in excruciating pain. A wisp of black mist flickered and floated around her body. Xiang Que sat cross-legged on the ground, facing Wang Linzhu, continuously forming several Taoist hand seals with both hands, while reciting obscure and difficult incantations without pause.

The three souls are eternal, the spirit shall not be lost; hastily, as commanded by the law.

It is not a lack of confidence in dealing with her, but rather that ghosts are also a type of living being. Killing a ghost will similarly invoke causality, and an excess of such causality can have a significant impact on oneself. This is especially true for Taoist priests who specialize in feng shui and divination; those who reveal too many secrets of heaven often suffer backlash. The opportunities to resolve the backlash from causality become fewer.

With a "bang," as she kicked, her body merely swayed slightly. Xiang Que distinctly felt his right foot go numb, akin to kicking a stone. This kick did not have much effect, but it caused Wang Linzhu to slow her momentum. Immediately, Xiang Que hurriedly stepped forward and slapped the talisman he held onto her chest with a "pa" sound.

Not daring to be careless, he quickly took out three copper coins and placed them in succession on Wang Linzhu's crown, navel, and the soles of her feet.

The orthodox Taoist exorcism practices, such as those from the Maoshan, Mayi, Longhu, and Quanzhen sects, typically employ ritual implements like peach wood swords, copper coin swords, or red thread puppets, accompanied by the recitation of incantations or the waving of talismans. However, the orthodox exorcism techniques of the Gujing Temple are unique and distinct from these traditional methods.

Supreme Star of the Highest, responding without pause, driving away evil and binding spirits, protecting life and safeguarding the body, urgently as commanded by the law

With a soft thud, Wang Linzhu's index finger, straight as an eagle's claw, pierced into the wall behind the missing part of the skull, leaving a pile of debris from the wall without breaking her nail

"Kill ... ... kill, you." Wang Linzhu mumbled a few words indistinctly, then quickly spread her arms again towards the gap.

Two hands glowing with a green light, with long, sharp nails, suddenly reached out towards the neck of the one who was missing. He took two steps back, pressing his back against the wall again

Jie, Jie, Jie ... ...

Oh my, how impressive! Quite remarkable indeed!" Xiang Que was taken aback. Under normal circumstances, after the talisman was affixed, Wang Linzhu should have been able to regain her sanity. The malevolent spirit still resided within her, but it was a situation of conflict between the two. However, what was unexpected was that Wang Linzhu only regained a moment of clarity before reverting back. It was evident that the malevolent spirit within her was exceptionally fierce, and the talisman failed to subdue it.

Taoist talismans, calming mantra

Three copper coins sealed the upper, middle, and lower paths of the vengeful spirit, preventing her from controlling Wang Linzhu's body. To avoid being beaten, she had no choice but to leave immediately

Xiang Que suddenly leaped up from the ground and quickly pulled out a talisman from his bag with his right hand

Both the old master and the senior uncle had previously advised Xiang Que that his fate was inherently unstable. If he were to reveal too many secrets of the heavens, the consequences would be significant, and ultimately, he might end up with a fate of five deficiencies and three shortcomings, which would be considered a completion of sorts. However, if the situation were to worsen, the tribulations of his fate would be even more severe.
