Chapter 29 Provoking the Evil Spirit
I was waiting for the Taoist priest to continue, and I was still a little nervous.
After all, I let the evil spirit go and ruined the Taoist priest's good deeds.
In addition, once the evil spirit is released, it will definitely cause a chain reaction, and more people will suffer because of me.
Time passed by, and the Taoist priest thought for a while and said to me: "This method is to use you as bait to lure out the evil spirit."
I couldn't help but change my expression after hearing this, and I felt a little embarrassed. This evil spirit must be quite dangerous. If I were to be the bait, it would be very likely that I would be in great danger, and I might not even know how I would die.
"You won't?"
The Taoist's tone became somewhat displeased.
"Master, it's not that I don't want to do this, it's just..."
I explained.
"Then you can be the bait."
The Taoist priest didn't even give me a chance to explain and just interrupted me.
I saw that the Taoist priest spoke so decisively, and I felt a little guilty, after all, I had gotten rid of the evil spirit that the Taoist priest had lured over.
"good."
I thought about it for a while and then agreed.
After I agreed, the Taoist priest's attitude towards me became a little more lenient. At least he didn't treat me as a "criminal" on the spot.
After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he suddenly stood there for a few seconds, as if thinking about something. After some simple thinking, the Taoist priest suddenly said, "Chen Yang, I have something to ask you."
"Master, ask."
I said this absentmindedly, my whole mind now focused on acting as bait.
"Didn't I tell you not to come in? Why did you come in?"
The Taoist priest looked at me with a sharp gaze, examining me.
His gaze immediately made me feel a little embarrassed.
I didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so I had to change the subject and said, "Master, you just asked me to act as bait, when will it start?"
"Chen Yang, you'd better listen to me from now on, otherwise you might make a bigger mistake."
The Taoist priest's voice gradually became a little stern. I heard him say this and nodded and said, "Okay."
"Go back, I need to rest."
"That……"
I originally wanted to ask about that matter, but the Taoist priest told me to go back and wait for news.
I nodded and said okay.
After I left the yard, my uncle was waiting for me outside. When he saw me coming out, he asked me, "Xiaoyang, are you okay?"
My face turned a little ugly and I briefly explained it to my cousin. After listening to me, my cousin's face also turned a little ugly.
But the uncle quickly regained his composure, "Xiaoyang, don't be afraid. With my master here, anything can be solved."
I nodded. It has come to this point and there is no other way but to do this. There is no better way.
My cousin and I returned to the slaughterhouse, tidied up briefly and prepared to go to bed. However, I had no desire to sleep at this moment. I tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep.
I never expected that such a big change would happen in such a short time.
The next day I stayed up until dawn.
After getting up, I didn't feel energetic, so I called my home first. One, to confirm if my parents were okay, and the other, to report to them that I was safe and let them know that I was okay.
Not long after the call, my parents told me that they were fine and asked me not to worry too much about them.
I nodded and said okay.
My cousin also got up very early because it was a habit. Since we used to slaughter pigs and sell meat, we had to get up very early every day.
I greeted my uncle, who looked at me in surprise and said, "Xiaoyang, are you okay?"
My cousin's startled look made me feel guilty. I looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
My uncle said to me, "Xiaoyang, go look in the mirror yourself."
My face changed slightly. I don’t know why, but at this moment, my heart couldn’t help but hang in my throat.
I quickly ran to the mirror. It would have been fine if I hadn't looked in the mirror, but when I looked in the mirror, I suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
I looked in the mirror and my face was as pale as if it had been washed with starch. It looked very ugly.
His lips were bruised and there were some marks on his neck, as if he had been kissed by someone. It looked very strange.
I stared at it and suddenly wondered if I was sick.
My cousin also came behind me at this time. He comforted me and said, "Xiaoyang, don't worry. We will go find my master now."
I hummed and said, "Okay."
I still feel a little weak now, but nothing seemed to have happened last night. I was groggy the whole night, so nothing should have happened.
The doubts in my heart became stronger and stronger.
My cousin pulled me out. After we got in the car, he suddenly said to me, "Xiaoyang, you smell bad, did you know that?"
I smelled myself, but there was nothing.
I feel it's a bit strange and unscientific.
But my uncle couldn't help frowning , and I didn't know how to explain it, so I had to do this. After driving for half an hour, we arrived in front of the Taoist temple. My uncle stopped and started knocking on the door.
Accompanied by the sound of "bang bang bang".
The door opened soon after. The Taoist priest looked lazy, glanced at us, and said, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
"Master, can you please take a look at Xiaoyang? What happened?"
The Taoist priest's eyes fell on me, and then he said, "Where did you get this unclean thing from?"
Just as the Taoist priest finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned for a few seconds, as if he remembered something in that instant.
"Come in first."
I felt a little uneasy, and after listening to what the Taoist priest said, I immediately walked in.
"Go to that room and give him a bath with sticky rice water."
The Taoist priest asked my cousin to do something, and my cousin hurried to buy glutinous rice, while I started to boil water.
When the water was almost boiled, my cousin's glutinous rice was also bought. When the glutinous rice was poured into the hot water, the originally clear water immediately turned milky white.
I took off my clothes and went in, but what I didn't expect was that as soon as my skin touched the glutinous rice water, I couldn't help but let out a scream the next second.
I felt that when I entered the glutinous rice water, it was like a broken wound being stained by chili water. The pain was simply indescribable.
I quickly shouted and backed out.
My cousin and the Taoist priest were both waiting outside, and soon the Taoist priest's voice came from outside.
"Chen Yang, if you don't want to die, go in quickly."
The Taoist priest's words made me go in again. I endured the pain and entered the glutinous rice water, but the next second, something I didn't expect happened.
