Chapter 010: Three Stars
The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties, with red and swollen eyes. When she saw the three people, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this Master Gao?"
"It's us." Gao Xiang said with a smile.
"Master, please come in, please come in!" The woman immediately let the three people in.
There were six or seven people crowded in the small living room. In the middle of the room was a chair. A skinny man was tied to the chair. His eyes were rolled back and his face was dark. He was yelling at the top of his lungs, "You stinky bitch! Do you believe I'll kill you? Come on, I'll chop you to death!"
His expression was ferocious and he gnashed his teeth.
"Master, you have to save my man!" The woman held Gao Xiang's hand tightly.
The other people in the room were all relatives and friends of the owner of the house. When they saw the invited masters coming, they also hurried forward to talk. However, many of them saw that the three people were so young that they couldn't help but wonder if they could be trusted.
Gao Xiang walked up to take a closer look and said to Xu, "Brother, what do you think?"
"It was a ghost, he is fine, he is not seriously injured." Xu said. The ghost is usually called "possessed".
Gao Xiang nodded: "Yes, it was a bumper."
He and Sun Muyu had naturally seen it a long time ago. The reason they asked Xu Lai was that they wanted to try it out. However, the fact that Xu Lai could say it didn't mean anything.
The symptoms of a scammer are easy to recognize. Since this person dares to cheat under the name of a wizard, he must have some experience.
Sun Muyu asked the woman, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"
The woman sobbed as she told the story. It turned out that her husband, Wang Dading, was a truck driver. He went to Linzi to deliver a load of goods yesterday. He was fine when he came back this morning, but he suddenly went crazy after a nap at noon. He cursed at her, smashed things and beat people in the room. If the neighbors had not arrived in time, someone might have been killed.
Someone who knew something said that Da Ding might have been possessed by an evil spirit and that they had to find someone quickly. After asking several groups of people for help, they finally found a way out.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Brother Wang's symptoms are not serious. We can treat him." Sun Muyu comforted.
When the eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family heard this, she felt a little relieved and begged the three men, "As long as the three masters can save my man, I will be willing to sell everything I have!"
Gao Xiang glanced around the room and said to everyone in the room, "Everyone, please disperse a little."
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly stepped back and moved to the corner to make room for the three people.
"How about this, buddy, you are responsible for subduing the man, and Mu Yu and I will exorcise the evil spirit, is that okay with you?" Gao Xiang shouted to Xu Lai.
"No problem, do you need a sitting or lying position?" Xu said.
"Of course it's a lying position. You will untie the rope later and then press the person to the ground. Do you understand?" Gao Xiang said.
"Okay." Xu said.
Sun Muyu secretly praised Gao Xiang's move after hearing it, thinking that it was indeed a sharp one.
Don't be fooled by Wang Dading's thin and small body. He is a different person after being possessed. He has great strength and even two or three strong men may not be able to suppress him.
Therefore, in this case, people usually tie the person up with ropes, and it is not necessary to untie the ropes. But Xu Lai accepted it without thinking, which shows that he does not understand the tricks at all.
"Let's start." Gao Xiang said and winked at Sun Muyu.
Sun Muyu understood that if Xu Lai rashly untied the rope, Wang Dading would definitely go berserk. After Xu Lai was knocked down, the two of them would have to act in time and use the joint lock technique to subdue Wang Dading to avoid hurting other people in the room.
Xu Lai walked forward and saw Wang Dading's eyes wide open. He screamed even louder and his expression became more ferocious and terrifying.
Several neighbors who were watching worriedly said, "Master, this is not appropriate. Da Ding is very strong now. Do you want us to help?"
Gao Xiang smiled and waved his hand: "No, we have our own way."
When the onlookers heard this, they were nervous, but since the master had said so, they didn't know what to say.
Sun Muyu and Gao Xiang stared at Xu Lai and saw that he had already reached out to the knot behind Wang Dading and started to untie it. They couldn't help but feel secretly happy and were just waiting to see this guy getting beaten up.
Xu Lai's fingers were quite flexible and he untied the rope very quickly. Wang Dading's body suddenly felt loosened and he let out a loud yell, ready to get up.
Sun Muyu and Gao Xiang's eyes sparkled, and they were ready to watch the show. But at this moment, Xu Lai tapped his fingers several times in a very fast manner, and Wang Dading suddenly collapsed on the chair, unable to even roar.
"Damn it!" Sun Muyu and Gao Xiang cursed at the same time.
The others in the room, who were trembling with fear, could not help but cheer and praise him. The master was a master, and he subdued the man with just a flick of his finger.
"What happened just now was...sealing...sealing the vital points, right?" Gao Xiang moved to Sun Muyu's side, swallowed, and spoke in a low voice.
The so-called sealing of the passes is a method of sealing a town.
From a surgical perspective, the human body has seven major orifices, and the orifices are different for living people and dead people.
The orifice of a living person is called a living orifice, and the orifice of a dead person is called a corpse orifice.
The seven major acupoints of a living person are the joints and holes through which vital energy flows. Once they are sealed, the flow of vital energy will be cut off. Not only will the person be unable to move, but even the evil spirits attached to the body will be controlled.
Although both can restrict people's movements, they are completely different from acupoint pressing in martial arts and medicine.
Take Gao Xiang for example. After all, he is not a novice . They still know the principle of sealing the acupoints, but knowing it is one thing, and whether they can use it is another matter.
When he and Sun Muyu were Yuan Tianlin's disciples, they had worked hard on this aspect, but the results were disappointing. It wasn't that it was completely impossible, they could probably guess it once or twice out of a hundred times, it was all based on luck.
This is still talking about sealing the living acupoints. If it is about sealing the corpse acupoints, then it is another more difficult and advanced technique, which they dare not even think about.
"He just used one... one finger three stars, right?" Sun Muyu's mouth felt dry.
"Probably... yes." Gao Xiang felt a little numb.
The so-called "three stars in one finger" means to seal three key points in an instant at an extremely fast speed. This technique is of course more difficult than sealing a single point.
Although under normal circumstances, there is not much difference between the fast and slow methods of sealing the acupoints, in some extreme cases, the difference becomes apparent.
For example, at present, if the ordinary method of sealing the acupoints is used, then at most Wang Dading can be restrained, but after using the three stars of one finger, the vitality between the three acupoints in Wang Dading's body can be perfectly intercepted.
In this way, it becomes easy to drive out the evil spirit from Wang Dading.
And more importantly, since this person can easily use Three Stars with One Finger, it means that the skill of sealing the acupoints has been perfected and it is impossible that he did it by chance.
"It seems...our master also...also..." Sun Muyu swallowed and didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.
"Our master can also achieve three stars with one finger, but not as fast or as steady as him." Gao Xiang affirmed.
What the fuck does this mean?
While the two were whispering to each other, they heard Xu Lai calling out to them that it was time to start. When they came to their senses, they saw that Wang Dading had been laid flat on the ground by Xu Lai. He was lying on his back, motionless, like a docile sheep.
This is nonsense. Three acupoints have been sealed. What else can you do?
"I'm coming!"
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu immediately agreed and rushed forward. Wang Dading's symptoms were not serious to begin with, and Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu were able to handle it. Now that Wang Dading had three acupoints sealed by Xu Lai, it was even easier for him to operate.
With the blessing of the seal, Gao Xiang did not need any other advanced methods, and directly chose the simplest one: grapefruit leaves soaked in vinegar. He used a specific method to slap the grapefruit leaves soaked in vinegar on Wang Dading's forehead.
Not long after, Wang Dading began to vomit, and vomited out half a basin of fishy and smelly dirt. The black blood on his face faded away, and his pupils returned to normal.
After sleeping for another ten minutes or so, he woke up and shouted, "I'm so hungry."
That's it.
The woman cried for joy, came over and pulled the three people, excited and grateful. The other people in the room also praised the master, "He is really an amazing person."
Sun Muyu and Gao Xiang were also happy, but when they looked at Xu Lai standing beside them, they felt unhappy.
"Three masters, how much does this cost? Is ten thousand enough? If not, I'll go borrow some." The woman was very happy. Although her family didn't have much money, as long as her husband could get better, it would be worth it even if she sold the house. She was sincerely grateful to the three masters.
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu hesitated. They were both well-known rich kids in Jiangning City, and they didn't learn magic to make money.
They also saw that the Wang family was not a wealthy family. According to their opinion, they originally did not want to accept the money, but now Xu Lai has appeared, and he has contributed the most, so it is not so easy to say.
It was Gao Xiang who went to discuss with Xu Lai: "Brother, the environment of this house is not very good, how about we not accept it, what do you think?"
He was a little nervous when he said this. After all, he had witnessed this man bargaining at Qianji before. It would be difficult for him to work for free if he was so stingy even over a few dozen dollars.
Then Xu said, "We took the job. It would be bad not to charge for it. It would break the rules."
As expected! Gao Xiang sighed inwardly.
But before he could finish his thought, Xu Lai continued, "Let's take three hundred, that's about it."
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu were stunned. Collecting three hundred was almost the same as confiscating it.
"Thank you, three masters! Thank you, three masters!" The Wang family members were already in tears of gratitude. The woman hurriedly took out three hundred-yuan bills from the house and handed them to Xu Lai tremblingly.
Gao Xiang said a few more words to the Wang family, and then the three of them finished their work and left.
When they got downstairs, Xu Lai gave each person one of the three large bills.
"Brother, we don't need it, you can just take it..." Gao Xiang said with a smile. They really didn't think much of the hundred yuan.
"We helped people out of their misfortune. No matter how much money you give, it's a token of their kindness. Take it." Xu Lai said with a smile and put his hundred yuan into his pocket.
Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu were stunned for a moment. They gave up the life of rich young masters and worked so hard to become wizards. Why was it so? It was to help people get rid of disasters and misfortunes.
Although this hundred dollars is a small amount, it represents people's recognition of you as a magician.
