"It was blessed during his lifetime, so how can it not be okay? I asked someone to say a lot of good things before I bought it, no, I asked for it. Okay, now wear it on your wrist. Okay, from now on, all the wronged souls and dead ghosts in the world will not dare to mess with you. If that woman from the painting shop understood the boundless mysteries of Buddhism and knew the extraordinary magical powers of the 103-year-old abbot, I guarantee she would never dare to come near you again." 

"What if she didn't believe in Buddhism? What if she scoffed at Buddhism when she was alive?" 

"That's not a problem for me. Look, what is this? It's a cross, yes. This small bottle contains holy water. I asked for it from the Christian Cathedral of the Civil Aviation Road Residents Committee. Originally, a cross made of pure silver would be more powerful, but that thing is too expensive. We working people can't afford it, so we got a silver-plated one. According to the chief pastor of the church, the silver-plated one is just as effective. This holy water has also been blessed by the Great Tomb Chamber itself. It can defeat Eastern vampires and werewolves..." 

"We are not dealing with Western monsters, don't get them confused." 

"Of course I understand this. What if that woman happens to believe in Jesus? When she sees the cross hanging around your neck, she will of course think of the various powerful things in the church and naturally won't dare to attack you again. Hang this cross around your neck, and sprinkle the holy water all over the room when you have time. It will have the effect of driving away evil spirits and ghosts. At the very least, it can repel mosquitoes and flies." 

"What if that woman doesn't believe in Jesus? You know, believing in Jesus is not common here." 

"I have anticipated this. Today I went to Qingyun Temple specially to look for the female Taoist priest..." 

"You must be mistaken. Qingyun Temple is a nunnery. There are only nuns in it, no female Taoist priests." 

There is also a small Taoist temple in Qingyun Temple, where female Taoist priests live. They are all from the same Taoist lineage, and their methods of warding off evil spirits and catching ghosts are no different. Here are the peach wood sword and inverted talisman that I asked for. The peach wood sword is made of real peach wood, and it is definitely not a fake product. The talisman was also made by the presiding old Taoist priest himself according to the pattern in the book. There must be no mistake. Come, burn the talisman into ashes, soak it in water and drink it..." 

"No, I'm afraid of getting an upset stomach." 

"Are you so pessimistic? "Which is more important, life or stomach?" He practically grabbed my ears and forced me to drink the glass of water. "It's good to pay attention to this. It can save someone's life at the critical moment. Of course. If it really works, but I think our native religion is more effective against Chinese ghosts. Look carefully, there is a seal on the peach wood sword, which says Taishang Laojun's urgent order. For many years, these few words have suppressed countless ghosts and evil spirits. It is unlikely that it will not work this time. Come, hide the sword under your pillow." 

It's the 21st century. Who still takes Taoism seriously these days? Are you being fooled by someone?" 

"How could that be? It's not easy to fool me. However, to be on the safe side, I also got you a copy of the "Book of Changes". It is the treasure of Confucianism. If you encounter evil spirits, just throw this book to them and it will suppress them. Remember when Fu Yi drew the Eight Diagrams, didn't he scare ghosts to cry at night?" 

"The one who scared ghosts to cry at night was Cangjie, right?" 

"Cangjie? What did you do? Who taught you that?" 

"No one taught you that. I heard they invented Chinese characters or something." 

"They're pretty much the same. Anyway, it's said there was a very effective book called the I Ching in ancient times. But most of the I Chings published now are just misinterpreted and rewritten. I guess they won't be very effective against ghosts. Plus, there are so many pirated copies that even living people can't understand them, let alone ghosts. So, I specially bought a genuine Taiwanese edition. It's all in traditional Chinese characters. I felt dizzy after reading just half a page. But the real Taiwanese editions are all smuggled in and are very expensive. The one I bought is a reprint from Hong Kong. It's not much different from the Taiwanese one. Here. Put it under your pillow too." 

"Don't put it in there. It's too uncomfortable." 

"Okay, don't be so squeamish. A little discomfort is better than getting hurt by that woman. Here. Pin this badge on your short sleeve." 

"What is this?"
