"Thank you for your help, Uncle Nine."
Ren Fa's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was relieved, and he glanced at Ren Tingting with concern.
Uncle Nine nodded, then said to Lin Yu, "Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng, go prepare some talismans. Tonight, we'll lie in wait and wait for this ghost to come back."
Lin Yu watched them prepare the talismans, and in the end, only he and Mary were left in the room.
I felt Ren Tingting's icy hand in mine.
Lin Yu silently used his own Spiritual Power to nourish her body.
Lin Yu guessed that the ghost that was harming Ren Tingting was probably one of the ones that escaped during the Ghost Festival.
Although most of them were lured out by Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, some were inevitably missed.
Having been corrupted by ghostly energy for so many days, Ren Tingting's body is probably already extremely weak.
As he channeled his Spiritual Power, Lin Yu also sensed the yin energy within Ren Tingting's body.
These yin energies are constantly eroding her yang energy, and the moment her yang energy is exhausted will be the moment Ren Tingting breathes her last.
Lin Yu slowly used his Spiritual Power to guide the yin energy out of Ren Tingting's body.
As more and more yin energy was expelled from her body, Ren Tingting's originally cold hands gradually warmed up.
Perhaps because it was too comfortable, Ren Tingting unconsciously let out a soft hum.
"Cut"
Mary, watching Lin Yu still reluctant to let go after everyone had left, turned her head away jealously.
Soon, night fell.
Only Lin Yu and Uncle Nine remained in the room. Uncle Nine was afraid that too many people would create too much yang energy and the ghost would not dare to leave, so he chased everyone else out.
At this moment, Ren Tingting's boudoir became filled with a heavy yin energy. If an ordinary person were here, they might shiver from the stimulation of the yin energy.
Ren Tingting, who had been lying comfortably in bed, began to struggle unconsciously in pain.
"Kuai Xiao Yu, get the talisman ready."
Seeing Ren Tingting struggling to get up, Uncle Nine quickly tied her up along with the bed with a rope.
Lin Yu intently observed his surroundings, preparing to prevent the evil spirit from suddenly appearing.
Time passed slowly, and the room was eerily quiet, broken only by Ren Tingting's occasional painful groans.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, and the candlelight in the room flickered violently.
Uncle Nine frowned and whispered, "They're here!"
A dark shadow slowly emerged from the corner of the room and flew straight towards Ren Tingting.
Seeing this, Uncle Nine quickly formed a hand seal and stood between the two.
The shadowy figure stopped when Uncle Nine blocked it, but it did not give up. Instead, it kept trying to bypass Uncle Nine and fly towards Ren Tingting.
Uncle Nine was doing his best to resist it, chanting incantations and his hand gestures becoming faster and faster.
With the target right in front of him, yet unable to break through, the dark figure gradually became ferocious, emanating a chilling aura.
"Quickly, Xiao Yu, use the talisman!"
Just then, Uncle Nine suddenly shouted.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu did not hesitate for a moment and immediately threw out the talisman in his hand.
The talisman transformed into a golden light in the air and shot straight towards the dark figure.
"Ahhh"
As the talisman struck, a shrill scream was heard from the dark figure, and the momentum it had just gathered was shattered in an instant.
Seeing that he was no match for the opponent, the shadowy figure prepared to flee and decided to choose another opportunity.
Close the windows! Close the doors!
Seeing this, Uncle Nine also instructed Wen Cai and the others who had been waiting outside for a long time.
Yes! Master (Uncle)
The three men immediately closed the doors and windows, and also affixed a talisman to prevent the evil spirits from escaping.
The dark figure crashed headfirst into the door and window that were covered with talismans, instantly feeling as if it had been burned by a scarlet branding iron.
The entire ghost was instantly blasted away by the talisman.
Then the shadow finally revealed its true form.
A pale-faced woman in white, with bluish lips and bloodshot eyes, lay sprawled on the ground, looking utterly terrifying.
At this moment, it stared fiercely at the two people inside the room, especially Lin Yu, its eyes filled with resentment.
This kid ambushed her just now; otherwise, she wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
"You monster! The Ren family has no grudge against you, why are you taking lives?"
Seeing that the female ghost had nowhere to escape, Uncle Nine asked about the reason for the incident.
If it were a wicked ghost intent on committing evil, Uncle Nine wouldn't give it a chance and would rid the people of this menace on the spot.
But if there is a grievance, Uncle Nine will help clear away the resentment so that it can be reincarnated.
"Why? I was so close! Why did you have to stop me?"
Seeing that she was doomed, the female ghost could only lie helplessly on the ground and cry.
Seeing that the female ghost was still stubborn, Uncle Nine didn't want to waste any more words. He took off the Bagua jade pendant he always carried and, together with the jade gourd, put the female ghost inside.
As the female ghost was subdued, the temperature in the room gradually warmed up, no longer feeling the biting cold as before.
Ren Tingting on the bed stopped struggling, and her breathing gradually became steady.
"Knock off"
With a loud shout from Uncle Nine, he informed those outside that the matter had been resolved.
"Master, you're amazing! You took care of that Fierce Ghost in no time."
Yes, yes.
Wen Cai Qiu Sheng quickly opened the door and showered Uncle Nine with compliments.
"Hmph, talkative."
Although Uncle Nine also enjoyed their exaggerated antics, business still came first.
"Master Ren, your daughter's body has been eroded by the yin energy of ghosts these past two days, and I fear that she may also..."
Looking at Ren Fa's anxious face, Uncle Nine was filled with sympathy.
He was a Daoist priest from Maoshan, specializing in exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits.
Yet, this beautiful young girl was being tormented by ghosts right under his nose, and his days were numbered. Uncle Nine was filled with guilt and self-reproach.
"Oh, Uncle Nine, could you please think of a way to save my Tingting?"
Upon hearing this, Ren Fa felt as if the sky had fallen, and he immediately wanted to kneel down and beg Uncle Nine to save his daughter.
"Sigh, Master Ren, you should buy more medicinal herbs for Tingting to nourish her body in the future. I'll come every month to help Tingting maintain her health."
Uncle Nine quickly helped Ren Fa. How could anyone save him? Even a cultivator would have his years of cultivation wasted if he were haunted by a ghost.
In severe cases, it could damage the foundation, making any future progress impossible.
Not to mention Ren Tingting, an ordinary person.
It was also because Lin Yu used his Spiritual Power to help Ren Tingting nourish her body this morning; otherwise, it might have been a question whether she could have made it through the night.
However, Uncle Nine and Master Ren are not related, so it's impossible for him to use his Spiritual Power to help Ren Tingting with her pregnancy every day.
He doesn't need to cultivate. His Spiritual Power is already low, and he uses so much of Spiritual Power every day. He can't even recover enough, so how can he cultivate?
But Uncle Nine was kind-hearted, and even so, he made the difficult decision to help Ren Tingting recuperate every month.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Nine. It's getting late. Why don't you stay at my residence for the night and go back tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, Ren Fa finally showed a pleased expression and immediately arranged for servants to prepare the guest rooms.
"No need, Master Ren. I won't bother you any longer."
Uncle Nine quickly waved his hand in refusal.
He led Lin Yu and the others outside.
"Uncle Nine, I'll see you off. Please take good care of Miss."
Ren Fa didn't dare to complain even after being rejected, and even personally saw Uncle Nine off.
The group returned to the mortuary.
Even before entering the room, one could feel the heavy, eerie atmosphere emanating from it.
This yin energy was far superior to that of the female ghost from the Ren family.
Even from that distance, Uncle Nine and the others could sense it.
"Sigh, what was bound to happen has happened."
Uncle Nine paused, then sighed.
