Capturing an evil spirit
"Other matters concerning spiritual practice? May I instruct you in Law Technique?"
Upon hearing this, the old Daoist priest frowned and then spoke.
"Fellow Daoist, you should patiently travel and cultivate. With your current level of cultivation, expecting Law Technique is rather impatient and unrealistic."
The old Daoist priest thought about what his master had said to him when he was on the mountain.
At this moment, he naturally relayed the message directly to Fang Zelin in front of him.
Right now, everyone is just gaining experience. Just focus on doing your part well. You haven't fully grasped that level yet. Why are you so eager to ask questions? Aren't you afraid of disturbing your State of Mind?
Besides, he himself doesn't know those Law Technique, so how can he teach them?
Fang Zelin was taken aback by these words. Was he being a little too hasty?
It seems my cultivation level after thirty-one years is indeed too low.
Feeling slightly bewildered, Fang Zelin quickly nodded and said, "I understand."
Seeing this, the old Daoist priest's eyes showed a hint of appreciation. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Judging from your appearance, you probably haven't dealt with demons much. It just so happens that some evil spirits have appeared at the Prince's mansion recently. I'll take you to have a look later."
"That way you'll be more careful, and if you encounter other evil spirits or demons in the future, you won't panic when you see them."
How to deal with evil spirits?
Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin immediately perked up.
What the other person said was indeed true; he didn't know many methods to deal with evil spirits.
It would be best if we could go and see for ourselves right now.
"In that case, thank you, fellow Daoist!"
Fang Zelin was delighted. He immediately raised his glass, gestured to the other person, and then drank it down in one gulp.
The old Daoist priest smiled upon hearing this, thinking the young man was teachable.
"By the way, I am Yang Xiang."
"Below Fang Zelin."
The two introduced themselves and then stopped talking about anything else, focusing solely on their meal.
After finishing their meal, the old Daoist priest calculated the time and felt it was about time, so he immediately took Fang Zelin to the Prince's residence.
The wine tasted good, but I didn't feel drunk at all.
The two walked forward and, after a short while, arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
Fang Zelin looked up and saw a mansion sitting in front of him.
Two stone lions stand in front of the mansion, looking quite imposing.
The vermilion gate adds to its grandeur.
"The evil spirits in the Prince's mansion have only just appeared; the City God hasn't noticed them yet, so they're perfect for training purposes."
"You must remember, the cultivation level of evil spirits is not determined by how long they have lived. Some evil spirits eat people's hearts and livers to aid their cultivation, and their cultivation increases extremely quickly, while some demons have lived for thousands of years, but their minds are clouded, they do not understand cultivation, and their cultivation is meager."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin immediately wrote it down.
"Master Daoist, you've finally arrived!"
Just then, the servants at the door saw Yang Xiang and their faces immediately lit up with joy.
After hurriedly coming forward, they headed towards the mansion.
"Everything you asked the head of the family to prepare has been prepared. Please hurry and rid the evil spirit of it!"
The servant spoke as he hurried along.
If you want to get this done quickly, please have the two of them go inside.
Yang Xiang followed along, not intending to make things difficult for the other party, and quickly caught up.
Fang Zelin followed a step behind. After entering the palace, he went around the wall screen, walked along the connecting corridor to the lotus pond, passed through an archway, and walked for a while along the rockery.
Then they saw a side room where a large crowd had gathered.
"Master, you've finally arrived!"
Upon seeing the old Daoist priest, a middle-aged man immediately squeezed out from the crowd in front.
Judging from his attire, he must be the head of the household here.
"Don't panic, that evil spirit is only newly formed and poses little threat."
After saying that, he glanced at the things beside him and asked, "Is everything ready?"
Everything is ready!
"The boundless water you requested, willow branches, and cinnabar."
The patriarch's answer made Fang Zelin raise an eyebrow slightly.
Cinnabar? Is it used for drawing talismans?
To be honest, he didn't know how to draw talismans.
Thinking of this, Fang Zelin perked up.
"Hmm, very good!"
The old Daoist priest nodded upon hearing this, then immediately took the items and headed towards the side room.
The others dared not follow, but Fang Zelin did not fall behind and went directly into the side room.
Upon entering, Fang Zelin immediately sensed the chilling atmosphere emanating from the corner of the side room.
"You felt it?"
After entering, the old Daoist priest took another look at Fang Zelin and was surprised to see that Fang Zelin had detected the evil spirit's location immediately.
He then nodded approvingly.
This fellow Daoist is quite experienced, possessing such keen perception.
"Watch closely, this kind of evil spirit is actually the easiest to deal with."
As he spoke, the old Daoist dipped a willow branch in the boundless water and flicked it forward.
As the water droplets landed, the gloomy patch immediately became visible.
Upon seeing this, the old Daoist priest immediately stepped forward, took out a gourd from his waist, and lightly drew a line on the gourd with cinnabar.
Upon approaching, he easily collected the evil spirit.
Without using any Spiritual Power at all, the evil spirit was easily subdued.
Fang Zelin watched this scene with a look of surprise on his face.
I've never seen such a method before. It doesn't seem particularly outstanding, but it's extremely practical.
Judging from this, is the other person teaching me some basics?
Looking at it, Fang Zelin couldn't help but wonder if the gourd from the other party was quite useful.
"This method can subdue such a newly formed evil spirit."
Thump!
As the old Daoist was speaking, a muffled sound suddenly came from outside, followed by screams of alarm.
The two were startled by the noise, then quickly rushed outside.
Both of them were extremely agile. They had just reached the outside of the house when they saw a cold, eerie spirit carrying a person in its hand.
The rest of the Wang Household members were so frightened that they collapsed to the side, trembling with fear.
"Give me back my child!"
Upon seeing the two emerge, the spirit immediately turned its head and glared at them with resentment.
"Child, I see."
Fang Zelin thought of the evil spirit he had just encountered; it did indeed look somewhat like an infant.
It seems that the baby must have died before it was fully formed. To form at such a stage would be like having a tiny evil spirit, making it difficult to discern.
Fang Zelin thought to himself that the female ghost's eyes were now filled with savagery as she looked at the two of them.
"This is bad! This female ghost has possessed us; we can't handle her. I'll hold her off first, you retreat to the City God quickly."
Upon seeing this, the old Daoist priest's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly whispered something to Fang Zelin.
Fang Zelin was taken aback upon hearing this. After glancing at the female ghost in front of him, he felt a sense of suspicion.
