Soulbringer In Deserted Village

We jogged all the way to the ward. I stood at the corridor and looked around, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. I also didn't hear any screams. I hesitated for a moment before I walked into second brother-in-law's room.

I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw second brother-in-law sleeping soundly on the bed. From the looks of it, the ghost didn't make a move immediately.

However, this way, I won't dare to walk around carelessly. God knows when the ghost will appear again. I sat down next to second brother-in-law, hoping for Qingqing to return quickly.

Time passed second by second in my anxious waiting and excruciating torment. It was only four hours, and it felt like four centuries had passed. It was already noon, and Qing Qing should be back by now.

I stood up and stood at the window to look at the construction site's hospital entrance. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in my line of sight. It was Qing Qing, who went to find my master.

Qing Qing was so tired that her forehead was covered in sweat. When she saw me, she passed a stack of talisman paper in front of me and said, "Master told me that these talismans have already been drawn. As long as they are stuck around the hospital, no ghosts will be able to get close to them."

"Thank you, Qing Qing. You came back just in time." I placed the talisman paper into my pocket and stroked my perspiring hair. "You can go back and rest. I'll come find you after I've finished pasting the talisman paper."

The talisman paper was also called yellow paper and was an indispensable part of Taoism. In the hands of different Taoists, the might of the talisman paper was also quite different.

For example, the most common Demon Suppression Talisman was a compulsory course for cultivators. From the very start, one had to come into contact with talisman paper. However, there weren't many talismans that could be used, and the strength they could unleash wasn't that great.

Only with the constant improvement of one's Dao arts would one be able to use more and more talismans and gradually increase the strength of the talisman.

Although his master's talismans were common talismans, after master's profound cultivation, they still reached the peak of the Demon Suppression Talisman. Let alone a single ghost, even a hundred or a thousand wouldn't be able to come close.

Qing Qing brought a total of 20 paper talismans. I spread them out according to the distance between the walls of the construction site and stuck them on the corner of the wall.

Looking at my masterpiece, I proudly said, "This way, I can relax. Monster, let's see how you can still come to the hospital and harm people. Next up, it's time for me to display my divine might."

I returned to my residence and called over Qing Qing, who had just tidied up a bit, to the scene of the accident. The tomb that was dug up was still open and the broken sarcophagus scattered on the ground.

"Qing Qing, let's split up and search. Let's see where the big red robe has been thrown."

Since this is a memorial grave, it means that the ghosts are no longer living here. This requires a medium for the ghosts, and the only things inside the sarcophagus are a large red robe and a jade pendant the size of a palm.

He found out from his second sister that the jade pendant had been taken away by the worker called Wang Shi Shi. Now that he was dead, it was hard to say who held the jade pendant in whose hands it was.

It would be better to find the big red shirt first. In any case, a piece of clothing that was hundreds of years old was not something anyone would care about, so it was definitely left somewhere nearby.

"Little Tian, take a look. Is this the bright red dress you're looking for?"

Hearing Qing Qing's call, I quickly walked to her side. There was a two meter deep ravine, and there was a particularly eye-catching red color. However, most of it was buried in the ground, so I couldn't be sure that it was that big red robe.

"Qing Qing, wait here. I'll go down and take a look."

Following the loose soil, I slowly slid into the ravine and dug away the surrounding soil. The bright red dress appeared. This was the clothes of a bride from several hundred years ago. It looked quite new.

I took the big red shirt and climbed up with much difficulty. "We've already found the clothes. We'll look for the jade pendant next."

Qing Qing puzzledly looked at me and said, "The reason why you're here is to find the big red dress. What's the use of it?"

"Sigh, this ghost hasn't entered the cycle of reincarnation for hundreds of years, so it's already used to living a lonely life. If I don't find a way to make it show itself, I'm afraid it'll be hard to catch it." I rolled up my bright red clothes and took them in my hands. I got up and walked over to the hospital.

On the way, Qing Qing asked again, "Only by imprinting the ghost can we find an opportunity to capture it. Then, what method would Second Brother Huang use?"

"Didn't you see that Huang Lao San was also carrying a divination disc? This is also a Dao Family magic item, it is able to detect and lock onto the nearby Miasma. They must have used the divination disc to capture that ghost."

Qing Qing nodded and said, "There are tens of thousands of Tao techniques. Little Tian, I think you should learn some Tao techniques from master if you have the chance. This way, you can save yourself a lot of trouble."

"I also want to, but Master doesn't seem to have the intention of teaching me. Don't ask me why, I don't know either." I sighed helplessly.

Master's actions have indeed troubled me greatly. He clearly already accepted me as his disciple but didn't teach me any Dao arts. What kind of master and disciple is this? It's a good thing that I'm not such a difficult person. Since Master doesn't want to teach me, then I'll continue to wait. I believe that one day, Master will have a change.

After returning to the construction site hospital, I went straight to the fat manager's office. When he saw Qing Qing and I had arrived, he said hopefully, "Did you catch the ghost?"

"I need your help right now. You should know that when we dug out the sarcophagus, there was a palm-sized jade pendant inside. May I ask, where did this jade pendant go?"

The fat manager was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I heard from the workers that it was taken by Wang Shi Shi. Why, why are you looking for this jade pendant?"

Since the fat manager didn't know the exact location of the jade pendant, I could only bid farewell to him. Since the jade pendant was in Wang Shi Shi's hands, I might as well head over to his house and find some clues.

When I turned around and walked to the entrance, the fat manager suddenly stopped me and asked, "That jade pendant is an artifact after all. What does it have to do with capturing ghosts?"

"Red clothes and a jade pendant are the medium for ghosts. Only by finding these can we imprint this ghost. "Right, ghosts will also search for these things. If you know the whereabouts of these things, you'd better tell me."

The fat manager stood there and rolled his eyes as if he was analyzing my words. After a while, he slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain. The workers sent the jade to my office. I forgot for a moment."
