Chapter 17

     When she arrived at the door of the operating room where the female ghost often appeared, Shi Xi felt that the yin energy on the door was a bit strange. She took a step back to gain a wider field of vision to find out the problem more easily.

     This retreat allowed her to see the mystery on the door clearly.

     “What, scared by the bloody scratches on the door? It’s not too late to go back now. We won’t laugh at you, but don’t go out and scam people anymore. You’re so young, why not do something better?” Shen Xiaocheng mistakenly thought she was backing down, a mocking smile playing on his lips as he pushed the door open rudely.

     Shi Xi quickly grabbed his wrist and said, “Don’t barge into Pansi Cave.” ^[1]This phrase comes from the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West”. Pansi Cave is the home of a group of beautiful spider demons who use their silk to capture travelers.

     “What Pansi Cave? Have you watched too many movies?” Shen Xiaocheng didn’t care and was still going to push the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched his hand forward, several fingers were pierced by something sharp. Something cut him, blood immediately gushed out, and he grimaced in pain.

     “You can donate your fingers if you don’t want them anymore. Don’t feed the female ghost blood here,” Shi Xi said in a calm tone, “You can’t even see what’s attached to the door. Are you really professional?”

     When they were at the hospital entrance, they didn’t see Zhang Qingyu show up. How could someone of this level dare to take this job? Who is this scammer?

     Shen Xiaocheng blushed and said defensively, “We haven’t asked the gods to possess us yet, so of course we can’t see it.”

     “I’ll help you open your Yin-Yang eyes, so you don’t cause me any trouble.” Shi Xi lifted Shen Xiaocheng’s hand, dipped her index finger in the blood on his hand, and drew talismans on his arm in one go.

     Shen Xiaocheng frowned, still not trusting her: “What is this ferocious thing you drew? Will it work?”

     “Whether it works or not, you’ll know if you look up.”

     Shen Xiaocheng looked up at the door, half-believing and half-doubting. The doorframe was covered in a tangled web of thin, sharp hairs. It was a bizarre and eerie sight, like a creepy Pansi Cave come to life.

     The hairs that cut him quickly sucked blood and ate it all up in an instant.

     With such sharpness, if Shi Xi hadn’t stopped it, the consequences would have been disastrous. Shen Xiaocheng was frightened for a moment, and his back was wet with cold sweat.

     Shi Xi used the same method to draw a talisman on Shen Shicheng’s arm.

     When Shen Shicheng saw the hair on the door, he panicked: “It really is a Pansi Cave!”

     “I heard that the steps for Taoist priests to draw talismans are very complicated. How come this little Taoist priest draws them so easily?” Shen Xiaocheng whispered, “Is she really a master?”

     “You worship the family gods every day, and your blood carries the breath of the gods. Maybe she used your blood to draw the talisman,”

     Shen Shicheng pursed his lips, still a little reserved: “It’s a blind cat’s chance. It depends on whether she can get through this door.”

     The Shen brothers stared at Shi Xi closely, waiting for her next move.

     Shi Xi took out a pair of small scissors from her small leather bag and started to cut the pubic hair on the door frame. The hair cut off as soon as she cut it. After a while, the remaining hair shrank into the wall in fear.

     The Shen brothers then noticed the small bag she was carrying. It turned out that she did not come empty-handed, but her magic weapon was rather…mini?

     Shen Xiaocheng: “What’s this trick?” 

     “That’s not an ordinary pair of scissors,” Shen Shicheng stared at the scissors in Shi Xi’s hand and guessed, “There is a yin energy lingering on its blade, so it can easily cut these hairs. But what is this yin energy? Where did they come from? Are the scissors themselves also a Yin object?”

     Shi Xi had no obligation to answer their questions. She swaggered into the operating room and took out a marker.

     Shen Xiaocheng was a little confused: “What are you going to do?”

     “Draw a talisman. This is the only red pen in my house.” Shi Xi closed the door, opened the pen cap with one hand, and drew a talisman on the door with great enthusiasm.

     The talisman was completed, and the negative energy attached to the door dissipated, emitting a faint golden light.

     “This seems to be a golden talisman. She is sealing the female ghost’s retreat route,” Shen Shicheng was shocked. “Using a marker pen to draw a talisman, I have never heard of it!”

     Then, Shi Xi dragged over a stool and drew a talisman on it.

     The Shen brothers couldn’t guess what she was going to do, but their intuition told them that this little Taoist priest was going to show them some extreme moves they had never seen before, and they both straightened their bodies at the same time.

     After Shi Xi finished drawing the talisman, she dragged a stool to the operating table, looked at the old medical equipment and said, “As you can see, I have found you. Do you want to come out by yourself, or do you want me to ‘invite’ you to come out? ”

     Shen Xiaocheng shrank his neck: “Why does this sentence sound like ‘I’m here to beat you up’?”

     “You’re right,” Shen Shicheng could hardly disagree, “but the instrument doesn’t seem to have any problems, could she have found the wrong one?”

     After waiting for a while, there was no movement from the old instrument. Shi Xi stopped talking nonsense and lifted the chair.

     “Don’t!” A white ghost came out from the abandoned instrument and hugged Shi Xi’s thigh with a plop: “I’m out, don’t do anything.”

     The Shen brothers were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

     A ghost hugging someone’s thigh, I’ve never seen such a thing before!

     Shen Xiaocheng almost knelt down in front of her.

     However, they didn’t know that Shi Xi had already defeated the female ghost in her nightmare realm last night and found the place where the female ghost was possessed. If she directly destroyed this old instrument, the female ghost would be reduced to ashes. After failing to go down, the female ghost quickly gave in.

     In the eyes of the Shen brothers who were unaware of the whole cause and effect, Shi Xi forced the female ghost to beg for mercy with just one sentence. She was simply a genius and a living god!

     Shi Xi wore this special leg pendant and found an empty alcohol bottle on the medical cart. She unscrewed the bottle cap and said to the leg pendant, “I will take you to salvation. This bottle has a familiar smell to you. It can Reduce the stress of leaving the dead place, come in.”

     The female ghost whimpered and obediently crawled into the bottle, turning into a ball of turbid mist.

     Shi Xi screwed the bottle cap on and drew a talisman on it to prevent the female ghost from changing her mind and escaping halfway.

     “Stress reaction…” Shen Xiaocheng was stunned: “You are treating the ghost as a pet!”

     Shi Xi stuffed the bottle and lipstick into her small leather bag and said as a matter of course: “Ghosts are also considered stray animals.”

     “…” Shen Shicheng stood in awe: “Master, who are you?”

     The system laughed:  【They said you were quite arrogant before, and now they take the initiative to call you Master, Master Qingshi. I think you are going to become famous in the metaphysics circle.】

     Shi Xi also wanted to laugh, but because she couldn’t laugh, her eyes were very cold: “I told you, Wuyou Temple Zhang Qingshi, did you remember this time?”

     Shen Xiaocheng touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: “It’s hard not to remember.”

     Shen Shicheng bowed to her and said willingly: “I admit defeat. All the reward this time will go to the Taoist priest. It is worth our trip to see this unique way of exorcising ghosts. I would like to ask the Taoist priest for advice. , is your method of exorcising ghosts original? What is it called? “

     Shi Xi spoke nonsense in a serious tone: “Yes, this is a spell I created myself, called the Life-based Ghost Exorcism Spell.”

     “Scissors, markers, stools, alcohol bottles… these daily necessities can all be transformed into magical tools to drive away ghosts in the hands of the Taoist priest. What a life-related spell!” Shen Shicheng couldn’t help but applaud. : “Master Qingshi, you are amazing!”

     System: 【They are almost fooled by you. 】

     Shi Xi: 【I am telling the truth. 】
