I listened and thought for a moment, "Big brother, please stop crying. Leave me your information, and I'll go back and look through some books. Then I'll come find you. Don't worry, I should be able to treat your child's illness."
"Okay, okay!" The middle-aged man gave me his phone number and address.
I found this illness quite peculiar. After saying goodbye to Qin Garden at the hospital, I returned to my dormitory.
I could only ask Yang Gou Dan what was going on.
While playing a game, Yang Gou Dan said, "I'm good at dealing with ghosts, but I don't really understand this kind of thing. I'll give you my master's number; he's a Taoist and knows about these things."
"Your master? A Taoist?" I looked at Yang Gou Dan's bald head, feeling a bit speechless.
Yang Gou Dan skillfully maneuvered his character forward while saying, "My master first studied Buddhism and then Taoism. He's quite impressive; his abilities are just slightly lower than mine. Write down his mobile number: 181051."
I was somewhat baffled by Yang Gou Dan's lineage. His master forced him to return to secular life and arrange a marriage, while his uncle was a Taoist. As for Yang Gou Dan himself, he was nothing like a proper disciple of Buddhism—he was just a brat. They were all definitely misfits in their respective paths!
I took out my phone and dialed the number, but it was unreachable. An automated voice message played: "I am the Azure Cloud Daoist. I am currently in seclusion for cultivation. Please add me on WeChat for inquiries..."
I put down my phone, trying not to laugh. After adding the WeChat ID provided by the Celibate Monk, I quickly got verified and messaged Uncle Qingyun to ask about the situation. I recounted the child's condition in detail.
The Azure Cloud Taoist was quite adept at using WeChat and replied to me promptly.
After reading his message, I understood what was going on. The Azure Cloud Taoist then sent another message asking me to like and comment if I found his response satisfactory.
I couldn't help but feel amused; have Taoists become so arrogant and vain these days?
I liked all the statuses of the Azure Cloud Taoist, then called Chen Guo, the middle-aged man.
I said, "Brother Chen, I've found out that this is called Ghost Eye Debt, and it's due to the cursed object."
"Can it cure my son?" Chen Guo sounded very worried on the other end of the line.
"It can. It's not too late. To save your son, we still need that Longevity Lock. So, you'll have to steal it back. Once we have it, we can force the evil away from your son, and he will be fine."
"Alright then, let's treat him today," Chen Guo replied excitedly.
"Not so fast. You need to get that lock first."
"I'll go tonight. Stealing something is a piece of cake for me."
I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll prepare some things and come to your house tonight."
Sitting on my bed, I felt confident about treating the Ghost Eye Debt.
However, I hesitated about another matter. But soon enough, I made up my mind. I couldn't just stand by and let that bastard Wei Qiang continue his misdeeds!
I left my dormitory and bought a pack of Cinnabar before heading to Chen Guo's house.
When I arrived at his door, I knocked lightly. The door opened to reveal a woman who looked quite haggard. Upon seeing me, she immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Are you the divine doctor? Please come in!"
I exchanged a few words with the woman, and in her eyes, Chen Guo was a wonderful husband—caring, loving towards his children, earning a decent income, and never indulging in drinking or gambling. His personality was gentle as well. It seemed this woman had no idea that Chen Guo used to be a very famous thief.
As the night darkened, around ten o'clock, there was a sound at the door, and then Chen Guo walked in dressed entirely in black. His wife hurried over to him, patting him down and complaining about how he scared her by going out dressed like that at night.
Chen Guo merely smiled and said nothing, giving me a knowing glance.
I nodded. "Alright, let’s begin the treatment. We need to go to the study; women cannot enter as it will affect the treatment."
Chen Guo's wife quickly nodded in agreement.
Once we reached the study, I asked, "Where is it? Let me see."
Chen Guo took out a Peach Wood Box from his bag and opened it. Inside lay an exquisitely crafted Longevity Lock in yellow and white. The craftsmanship of the Longevity Lock was remarkable, and due to its age, it exuded an air of ancient elegance. However, I couldn't appraise antiques; I could only sense that the Eerie Energy emanating from this Longevity Lock was quite strong, indicating that it hadn't been dug up from a tomb for long.
"Alright, go get a towel," I instructed.
Chen Guo quickly returned with one.
"Brother Chen Guo, do you trust me?" I asked.
"Of course," Chen Guo replied, looking at me with some confusion.
"No, I mean you have to trust me one hundred percent. You must be completely at ease with everything I do. Soon, I will need to make your son faint; this is called 'Qi Closure.' It's dangerous but won't pose any immediate risk. Do you understand?"
Chen Guo was taken aback; he had never expected that I would need to suffocate his own son—it sounded too terrifying.
I looked at Chen Guo.
Chen Guo sighed and nodded, "Alright, Brother Song, go ahead. After all... after all, my son won't live long anyway."
I nodded and placed the Longevity Lock beside the baby, then reached out to cover the child's nose and mouth.
The baby started to struggle at first, but soon his eyes rolled back. His body was already weak, and within ten seconds, he lay still with his eyes turned up.
Chen Guo covered his mouth, tears welling in his eyes as he fought to hold them back.
I turned the child over and sprinkled some Cinnabar on the Ghost Eyes mark on the baby's back. Cinnabar is known for its ability to ward off evil spirits. Additionally, it is a traditional Chinese medicine used to calm the soul and treat nightmares, anxiety, and even mental illnesses. However, these ailments are often caused by malevolent forces, and Cinnabar can drive those away.
But this was just my speculation; although I studied traditional Chinese medicine, I wasn't very proficient yet.
Once the Cinnabar was sprinkled on the child's back, a puff of white smoke emerged from the eye pattern, followed by blood bubbling up from it.
Chen Guo held his mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.
I felt a bit anxious as well; after all, the child was just an infant and could easily perish. However, according to the Azure Cloud Taoist's method, we could only wait for the Yin Spirit to escape from the child's body on its own.
The Yin Spirit was the malevolent entity associated with the Longevity Lock. The Longevity Lock had been used by a prominent figure in ancient times as a burial item for their deceased child. This Yin Spirit guarded the Longevity Lock and also protected the child's corpse. When the Grave Robber removed this Longevity Lock, they failed to eliminate the Yin Spirit attached to it. When Chen Guo obtained this Longevity Lock and hastily placed it on his child, he naturally attracted its attention.
The reason I initially suffocated the child was to make the Yin Spirit believe that this child was already dead. Placing the Longevity Lock nearby was meant to lure the Yin Spirit out of the child's body.
It was crucial not to forcefully expel the Yin Spirit; after all, if it became agitated, there would be no hope for the child.
These are the details emphasized by Azure Cloud Taoist. Although I am somewhat worried now, I still have great faith in Azure Cloud Taoist's abilities and judgment.
After Cinnabar was sprinkled, not long after, a black mist floated out from the pattern of the eye and then "whoosh," it entered the Longevity Lock.
Although ordinary people couldn't see the black mist, I could see it clearly.
I quickly picked up the baby and took a few swift steps to the chair in the study. Immediately, I performed artificial resuscitation on the child. A few seconds later, the baby began to cry loudly, and the sound was much stronger than before.
"Son!" Chen Guo exclaimed joyfully as he rushed over and embraced his child.
I breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, your child is fine now. Just give him some regular antibiotics and some traditional Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and tissue regeneration. You should take your son to see Director Ma and apologize to him."
"Okay, okay! I will definitely go apologize to Director Ma. Thank you, thank you, Brother Song." Tears of excitement streamed down Chen Guo's face.
I waved my hand. "Be careful; the Yin Spirit is still in that Longevity Lock."
Chen Guo nodded repeatedly, continuously thanking me.
To be honest, I felt quite accomplished.
It seems having a Taoist master uncle is very useful. I decided to build a good relationship with Azure Cloud Taoist so that I wouldn't have to fear such matters in the future.
But how did I survive in the grave? Is it because I was born from a grave that I am not afraid of Corpse Poison or Evil Spirits, and can even see these ghostly shadows?
Just as I was pondering this, Chen Guo walked in again. This time he wasn't holding the baby; he must have given the child to his wife. He approached me with a bag in hand and handed it over.
I took a look and was startled to see ten stacks of red bills neatly arranged inside, totaling one hundred thousand yuan! I had never seen so much money in my life.
"What are you doing?" I didn't take the bag.
"Brother Song, you have to accept this. It's the heartfelt gesture from my wife and me. Really, I... I don't know how to repay you. Please, you must take this money!" Chen Guo said.
I hesitated for a moment. To be honest, I was tempted because I really needed the money, especially after getting to know Liu Yiyi; it made me feel inferior. However, despite my temptation, I still refused.
I swallowed hard, feeling a bit reluctant. "Mr. Chen, I can't take this money. Just keep this a secret for me and don't tell Director Ma that I can exorcise ghosts. Also, actually, I want to ask you for a favor."
Chen Guo was taken aback and looked at me. "What is it? Brother Song, just tell me."
I nodded and took a deep breath. "Brother Chen, I want you to steal something for me."
"Huh?" Chen Guo was even more surprised.
