"You sensed Mengfei and that little girl? They're not sick."

Master Luo, having learned who Su Ziyang was sensing, explained with a smile.

"Hmm. Master, can you tell at a glance whether their cultivation is good or bad? Is there any secret?"

Su Ziyang was very curious as to why Mr. Mengfei and his colleagues were always able to judge whether a person's cultivation was good or bad, and whether their heart was good or bad.

"There's no secret; you'll learn by watching more. Kid, take a rest. Tonight at midnight, I'll tell you a spell!"

Master Luo insisted that Su Ziyang rest, so Su Ziyang had no choice but to go back to his room and meditate.

After a day of studying, Su Ziyang discovered that the energy within his body that didn't belong to him had grown a little stronger, but it was also slowly merging with his own energy.

At midnight, Master Luo summoned Su Ziyang and then chanted a spell for Su Ziyang.

The room was dark; instead, Master Luo lit a small kerosene lamp. The flickering light cast shadows on the two men's faces, creating an atmosphere that Su Ziyang found very strange.

The first forbidden spell...

Sometimes this is combined with a water ritual, where a mantra is recited over the water in the bowl, and then the water is used for bathing. This is Water Consecration and Ghost Expulsion Technique," and the mantra is as follows:...

Sometimes the power of a spell varies; if it's malevolent, a more powerful and vicious spell might be needed, Evil Ghost Spittle Suppression Technique:...

In ancient times, malaria was a common disease, and sometimes it was incurable. In desperation, people would consult sorcerers using incantations and spells, hence the existence of malaria-cursing spells.

Another difficult-to-treat ailment is edema, so there are incantations for treating edema, called the Swelling Suppression Curse, Swelling Suppression Technique:...

There are also healing spells in ophthalmology, such as the Eye Pain Suppression Curse:...

"For that arrow wound, I used a spell to prevent arrow wounds. I've used this spell many times, and it's very effective."

Metal Wound Curse:...

"For the bleeding patient, I used Qi Suppression without any incantations, but there are incantations for stopping bleeding; you need to recite them 21 times for them to be effective."

Bleeding Stoppage Curse, Gu Poison Curse...

Speaking of methods of Gu Poison Curse, Su Ziyang thought of Xuyang again. If he had been fortunate enough to invite Master Luo back then, might Xuyang's illness have been cured, and might he have survived?

"When going into the mountains to collect herbs, the greatest fear is encountering snakes and tigers, hence the existence of Snake and Tiger Suppression Curse."

Mountain-Entering Tiger Suppression Curse, Snake Suppression Curse, Bee Venom Suppression Curse...

"When you're out and about, you sometimes encounter vicious dogs, and there are even Dog Suppression Curse. Once, a group of thieves broke into a village to steal things, and all the dogs in the village barked because they used such a spell to stop them from barking and biting. A skilled person, in the right position, can silence all the dogs in the village!"

Dog Suppression Curse:...

"As the practitioner of the Zhuyou Technique, I started by explaining how to protect one's Visualization. Of course, there are also incantations for self-protection. These incantations must be recited constantly, and silently, so that they can be effective when encountering danger."

Self-Protection Curse Technique:...

For the entire night, Master Luo chanted incantations, and Su Ziyang listened silently, taking notes without uttering a word.

Tianming heard the first rooster crow, and Master Luo stopped teaching.

These incantations were memorized, but they couldn't be written down, as that would be considered feudal superstition.

Therefore, everyone should pay attention.

(Su Ziyang is very grateful to Master Luo; it warms his heart!)
