door, the chatty president of the new media club saw that I wasn't replying to his WeChat messages, so he just called me directly."...Yes, my name is Yin Luo." I said to the person on the other end of...I was startled and took a big step forward, slapping the talisman on his forehead with a smack.

The ward against evil suddenly flared with sparks, nearly vanishing in an instant. The man howled as he broke free from the shackles of two bodyguards, rolling off the bed.

He clutched his head and screamed, the sound sending shivers down everyone's spines in the villa. The bodyguard turned pale with fright, and Sister Lu, her face ashen, told a bodyguard, "Go to the study and get the straitjacket!"

A straitjacket, a type of garment designed for patients with agitated mental illness.

He was wrapped up like a mummy, unable to even speak besides breathing.

As the bodyguard left, the man slowly propped himself up from the bed, his head resting on the edge. He cracked a sinister smile, as if the talisman had blown out whatever was inside him.

"......sizzling.... so tender...." I heard him say.

Wow, you can actually speak our language That's great! We can communicate now.

"What do you want If it's to harm people, then we'll take you in!" I ventured.

Maybe I'm just not good enough, my words lack authority. The other side isn't afraid of me; they just let out a mocking hiss and curl up in the corner of the bed, their whole body limp except for their head which remains on the edge.

"I want... I want... to eat... and also a woman..." His tone was strange, his body twitching several times.

Food Woman

I widened my eyes: "You're half-dead! What do you need a woman for! Go find a ghost instead!"

"Hisss..." a sinister grin spread across his lips.

I took a few steps back and whispered to my father, "He seems to be possessed by an evil spirit, but he also seems to have his own issues, Father!"

“Don’t always call me ‘Old Dìe,’” my father stroked his goatee and coughed, saying, “External evils invading, internal evils transforming, all sorts of strange diseases have their causes. I presume the esteemed guest's family has done something they shouldn't have. Could someone close to them explain in detail Let this old man prescribe the right medicine.”

Sister Lu's face was pale, and she didn't answer right away. She saw the bodyguard bring over a restraint suit and gestured to have that man tied to the bed.

The Daozong gently tugged on my sleeve, signaling me to come out and speak.

I dashed out of the room and asked, "Mr. Dao, what can I do for you"

“I, I wouldn't dare. It seems that Miss Yin Er understands some esoteric arts. I wouldn't dare to give any advice. However, there are some things that my sister is very particular about and doesn't want to say. I think it's important for me to talk to you about them. You could pass a message to your master, making it easier for him to practice medicine and consult with patients.” Daozong said in a low voice.

I nodded, these families definitely have a lot of problems. Their family relationships appear harmonious on the surface, but in reality, they are riddled with issues and their marital relationships are extremely strained.

Sister Lu definitely wouldn't want to tell us this, Daozong rubbed his hands together and said: "Actually, I didn't believe in these mystical things before, but now... just now I saw the talisman burn without fire, I'm a little scared... These things aren't impossible to talk about, but Miss Yin Er, you are young, you probably don't understand these filthy things. If I offend you, please forgive me."

I curled my lip: "Every single person who comes to my house seeking medical advice, which one of them is a Lotus Flower of Purity Aren't they all driven by greed and lust, terrified of death and coming here for help"

Cure the body, cure the illness, cure the heart. The hardest to cure is the human heart.

Knife General's gaze on me was different from before. Back then, he treated me like a clueless little miss. Now, he spoke to me seriously, "Miss Yin Er, to be honest with you, my brother-in-law has some... bad habits common among wealthy people."

He has been watching those mines at the border, you know, the border. It's more mixed there. He goes across every day with his visa and drives back to his company accommodation here in the evening. Back and forth...

"Over there at the mine, they have some dealings with the local armed forces, so it's quite well protected. He's like a wealthy feudal lord over there, surrounded by women and always eating all sorts of exotic delicacies - rare game, you name it... And... I even heard he has several wet nurses."

I rubbed my arms, getting goosebumps.

Knife sighed and said, “Facing such an unstable society, chaotic politics, and poverty, just being able to eat and have enough to drink is a luxury. There's no concept of morality. My brother-in-law was strictly controlled at home by my sister, afraid to even breathe out of line or go out for fun. But across the way, he was much more unrestrained, with no one to supervise him.”

I interrupted him and said, "Daozong, there's an old saying: 'Misfortune comes from the mouth, and illness enters through the mouth.' That's why cultivators of Taoism and martial arts are very wary of their speech and desires. Your brother-in-law must have caused a lot of trouble abroad and accumulated a lot of karmic obstacles, right"

It's not about promoting vegetarianism or anything. Our family isn't fully vegetarian, we don't take it to extremes. We just eat less greasy food for health reasons.

Grains can fill the stomach, vegetables and poultry eggs are also nutritious enough. Occasionally eating some meat, eggs, fish, and seafood is already enough for a person's body needs.

If you specifically go to eat rare wild animals for the sake of novelty, this is a great karmic obstacle, and wild animals carry many parasites and bacteria that can have repercussions.

Retribution may not be something the wealthy believe in.

In this world, karma and afflictions exist. For the sake of appetite and desires, harming living beings already depletes one's blessings and virtues. While cultivating benevolent thoughts and performing good deeds daily can make amends, if one spends their days committing evil acts, vengeful spirits will bind them, leading to misfortune and obstacles in all endeavors.

Daozong listened to me for a while, scratching his head and saying, "You said so much that I won't dare to eat indiscriminately in the future..."

"With your build, you might be a hidden gem if you ate a little less." I rolled my eyes at him.

Liang Xiaoge whispered in my ear, "On the grounds of the sorcerer, many villages have shamans. Perhaps they ate something they shouldn't have… or were seeking revenge, or maybe the evil spirit possessing them is a three-corpseGu…"

Can three corpses still be used to raise Gu worms

I squinted at Liang Xiaoge's paper figure. Liang Xiaoge whispered, "I'm just guessing too, I've never seen it with my own eyes."

Taoism has the concept of "cherishing one's life," which does not advocate for ascetic practices that harm the body, but rather emphasizes quiet cultivation and refinement of the mind and character.

Life is precious, death is to be feared.

Throughout history, a significant path to attaining the Dao through cultivating life force and refining Qi has been "Severing the Three Corpses."

Three corpses, also known as the Three Corpse Gods or Three Corpse Worms, are explained in two ways in the Yunji Qixian. One view holds that they are parasitic pests that harm the human body and cause disease; the other view considers them to be "spirits formed from yin energy."

"I think your brother-in-law has the best of both worlds." I looked at Dao Zong.

Daozong anxiously asked, "What should we do then The body can still be cured. If it's something like sinister energy or a spirit that has possessed him, causing the house to be uneasy..."

I raised an eyebrow and said, “Is it just domestic unrest or something more serious Perhaps there will be bloodshed—”

Before he could finish speaking, a scream suddenly echoed through the room!

"... disaster."nity No, no, it also requires a broad mind and intelligence, the ability to perceive subtle details and anticipate changes, like listening to the wind to predict the weather. This seemingly mystical u...
