Living Funeral
After Gao Qing spoke, I glanced at her, and at the same time, Yu, who had been silent all along, also looked at Gao Qing, her face pale to a terrifying degree.
I hesitantly asked, "The Seven-Faced Decree, who are we going to kill?"
Gao Qing simply and directly replied with two words: Chen Jian.
Yu reacted too strongly, standing up abruptly. She bit her lip, as if wanting to say something, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. But in the end, no words came out.
The aunt was clearly a skilled tailor; she quickly cut out a large seven-faced banner. Then she took out chopsticks to secure the banner in place. Following that, Gao Qing instructed me to write the words "Decree" on the banner.
I wrote those two characters on the seven-faced banner until my fingers ached.
Even now, I still didn't understand why my blood had the power to ward off evil.
After finishing, I wrapped my fingers in gauze.
Gao Ling had also prepared pomelo leaves and cinnabar, and a strange smell began to permeate the air.
Gao Ling stood up and handed the items to Gao Qing. Gao Qing sniffed the mixture and told Gao Ling to make a "medicine pouch" to place on Yu's Yintang position.
The Yintang position is located at the center between Yu's eyebrows. Gao Ling acknowledged and quickly followed Gao Qing's instructions.
Yu was under the watchful eyes of her parents and dared not resist.
Gao Qing called me over, took the banner, and inserted two banners at the door, two more at the staircase, and then one at each window.
Gao Qing wanted to use Cinnabar to nurture the evil spirit, hoping to hasten the birth of the Demon Child trapped within Yu.
This idea was indeed somewhat dangerous, and could it really force the child out tonight?
I thought that even if Cinnabar had such a function, it probably wouldn’t be that quick. So, I voiced my doubts.
Gao Qing replied that it wouldn’t be that fast; tonight's main goal was to exorcise and subdue the spirits.
I nodded, indicating that I understood.
Since last night, I had developed a strong dislike for Chen Jian. A selfish and self-serving ghost like him probably wasn’t a good person in life either.
After wrapping everything up, Gao Qing lit three candles in the living room, along with Three Incense Sticks.
Gao Ling then asked what we would do next.
Gao Qing held up a finger to signal us to wait.
I took out my phone to check the time; it was already nine o'clock in the evening. My gaze fell on Yu, who was now clenching his fists, his face filled with tension.
At this moment, Gao Qing appeared calm and composed, as if he had everything under control.
Time passed slowly, and a chill crept into the sharp angles of the room as the wind blew in through the window.
Gao Qing’s gaze flickered towards Yu intermittently.
It was clear that Chen Jian must have done something to Yu, which was why Gao Qing was so angry.
Around ten o'clock, there was still no sign of anything happening. Gao Ling couldn't help but speak up, "What are you waiting for? If not, just summon the spirits directly."
Gao Qing replied, "Aren't you afraid of attracting wild ghosts and lonely souls?"
Gao Ling quickly responded with confidence, "With Brother Fei here, what is there to be afraid of?"
Just as Gao Ling prepared to take action, Gao Qing quickly pressed down on her shoulder. She turned to Uncle Cao and His Wife and said, "You two should go rest. We'll handle things here."
Uncle Cao and His Wife were momentarily taken aback but understood that this was a matter concerning the supernatural. It was best not to interfere if they didn't understand it.
As Uncle Cao left, he told Gao Qing to take good care of Yu.
Gao Qing promised she would, and Nanny Aunt followed Uncle Cao and His Wife back to their room.
Gao Ling found herself unable to move under Gao Qing's grip.
Gao Ling grumbled, "Gao Qing, if you weren't my little sister, I would definitely teach you a lesson."
Gao Qing replied directly, "From now on, don't treat me like your sister. Treat me like a stranger; go ahead and teach me a lesson."
I stood by, speechless.
With no other option, Gao Ling turned to me for support, and I stepped in to mediate.
However, as soon as I spoke my first sentence, the first candle extinguished. Immediately, Gao Qing released Gao Ling and said to her, "You better not do anything unnecessary."
Gao Ling huffed in response.
As Gao Qing approached the candle, the second candle extinguished right after. The light overhead began to flicker, becoming erratic and unstable.
The atmosphere turned somewhat eerie, sending a shiver down our spines and instilling a sense of fear.
Gao Qing's gaze was sharp, scanning the surroundings intently.
Just then, the third candle went out, followed closely by the extinguishing of the light above us.
Gao Ling let out a terrified scream and asked what was happening.
I quickly pulled out my phone to use as a flashlight. At that moment, I spotted a pair of glowing eyes—not those of an animal, but belonging to Yu.
Yu's eyes were glowing on their own, without needing a flashlight to illuminate them.
Instinctively, I called out to Gao Qing. It was definitely abnormal for Yu to be like this, and I felt a surge of tension within myself.
Yu's breathing suddenly became heavy, and we could all hear it.
Gao Qing told me not to panic. Then he moved toward Yu. Just as he got close, Yu suddenly sprang up and knocked Gao Qing to the ground.
The situation changed too quickly.
Gao Ling snapped out of her daze and rushed forward.
Yu let out a chilling scream, shouting, "I want to strangle you! Strangle you! Why do you keep getting in my way? Why?"
Gao Qing struggled fiercely, but Yu had transformed; it was no longer easy to break free.
Gao Ling shouted, "Exorcism Talisman!" as the Yellow Talisman landed on Yu's back. Immediately, a piercing scream escaped Yu's lips, and Gao Qing seized the opportunity to push Yu down.
After Yu got up, he grabbed Gao Ling by the throat, filled with resentment. "Why are you against me too?"
Gao Qing coughed a few times, regaining his composure.
Gao Ling cried out my name for help. I couldn't just stand by, so I quickly intervened. My previous wounds hadn't healed yet, and squeezing them caused blood to flow. I swiftly wrote the word "Decree" on Yu's back.
The two characters soon emitted a faint red glow.
Yu's body leaned forward under the pressure, and Gao Ling became a cushion, getting knocked to the ground. In a panic, Gao Ling exclaimed, "Brother Fei, you can't make things worse!"
Making things worse was never my intention! Yu's condition was truly strange at that moment. Gao Qing shouted for me to step aside and quickly moved in, kneeling on Yu's body. All of his weight fell onto Gao Ling, who let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.
Gao Qing held onto the Exorcism Talisman stuck to Yu's back with one hand. It was clear that he was quite nervous. He muttered something under his breath; although one hand gripped the Exorcism Talisman, he didn't tear it off.
Gao Ling's screams grew weaker; it seemed he couldn't hold on much longer.
Gao Qing quickened his movements and finally uttered two words: "Soul Extraction." As those words fell, I watched as Gao Qing pulled a soul from the Exorcism Talisman.
It slowly descended and formed a Daoist figure, radiating an intense malice. I didn't need to make contact with that soul to sense its presence.
It was Chen Jian; Chen Jian had actually attached himself to Yu.
After pulling Chen Jian out, Gao Qing confronted him angrily. "Why are you opposing me?"
Gao Qing coldly replied, "Those who do evil will bring about their own demise."
After Chen Jian's soul was drawn out, Gao Qing quickly grabbed the Exorcism Talisman and pressed it directly onto Chen Jian's forehead, uttering four words: "Drive away evil spirits."
Chen Jian staggered backward from the impact.
Gao Ling hurriedly got up from the ground and said, "Brother Fei, you almost got me killed just now."
I thought to myself, I didn't want that to happen! It was all an accident.
Once Chen Jian steadied himself, he slowly let out a terrifying laugh, his voice trembling and unable to form a continuous sound.
Gao Ling quickly stood beside me, and Yu also got up from the ground. Yu called out a simple name, but Chen Jian completely ignored him.
At this moment, Gao Qing was furious as well, holding the Exorcism Talisman in one hand and gripping a Copper Dagger in the other.
Gao Qing said to Chen Jian, "Today, I will make your soul scatter and suffer under my suppression."
The atmosphere in the scene had turned tense…
