Since I entered the shop, up until now.
I haven't had a chance to mention Dandan, or how he lost his soul last night and the black mist appeared in his eyes.
But my master, at this moment, saw that Dandan had a problem with just one glance.
And he hit the nail on the head, indicating that Dandan's condition was serious.
He was infected with evil energy and needed immediate exorcism and treatment.
The Wang family was terrified when they heard this.
"Ah! Daoist priest, this, this is so serious?"
Lu Yong was extremely fearful.
Uncle Wang also said:
"Daoist priest, what exactly is going on?
Why is my grandson involved?"
The Wang family didn't understand and looked at my master.
Even I couldn't figure out what was going on.
Master remained calm, took a few more glances at Dandan, and then said:
"What your family worships should be a Duoming Tong.
This thing is extremely evil.
It was once prevalent in the southern border regions and is a form of soul nurturing.
It is many times more malevolent than the Kuman Thong from Southeast Asia.
It is often used by wicked individuals to harm others..."
Although Master hadn't personally seen the little ghost Lu Yong worshipped.
He had accurately deduced what kind of specter it was.
And he detailed the dangers of this Duoming Tong to the Wang family and me.
Master said that this malevolent child, in exchange for incense and offerings, would consume the offeror's blood and absorb the family's fortune.
Although this thing was very responsive.
As long as it wasn't a major issue, it would basically grant any wish.
However, the backlash was also immense, and it was very difficult to get rid of.
Once nurtured, the evil consequences would usually fall upon the children of the offering family.
The longer it went on, the more evil energy the child would accumulate.
The black film mist covering Dandan's left eye and his immobile hand were all caused by the condensed evil energy on his body.
Master also said that once the evil energy reached a certain amount.
The Duoming Tong would devour the soul of the child infected with evil energy in the offering family.
At that time, it would have fully grown.
Because this thing was extremely ferocious, if it fully grew, it would become a fierce vengeful spirit.
The families that worshipped it would mostly perish.
Even if the Duoming Tong didn't manage to consume the child infected with evil energy.
That child would still die due to the overwhelming evil energy on his body.
After death, he would transform into a new Duoming Tong to be controlled.
And once a new Duoming Tong appeared, its first target would be its own parents.
This was a very terrifying, and extremely malevolent, soul nurturing technique.
After hearing this, the Wang family and I were all shocked.
The Wang family was even more terrified, and they all pleaded with my master to help them save Dandan from the evil energy and ensure their family's safety.
My master was kind-hearted and was in this line of work.
Moreover, he had the ability to help the Wang family.
Seeing that the Wang family believed him, he didn't hesitate.
He turned to me and said:
"Xiao Qin, I'll write a prescription. You go to the Chinese medicinal market to get the medicine now."
After speaking, Master took out paper and pen from the drawer and started writing the prescription.
I was stunned, going to the Chinese medicinal market for medicine?
Could the medicinal shop at the end of the street not do?
I didn't quite understand, and Master had also said before.
Evil energy, Yin energy, malevolent energy, ghost energy, etc., are all forms of unclean energy.
They are emitted by those evil spirits and dirty things, and these energies are harmful to the human body.
Once infected, one would develop a "virtual illness."
This cannot be cured by physical medicine.
Could taking Chinese medicine also expel evil energy?
So I quietly asked:
"Master, can Chinese medicine remove evil energy?"
Master, while writing the prescription, smiled wryly and shook his head:
"Physical medicine cannot cure virtual illnesses.
It's just that the child's body is too weak.
If I forcefully expelled the evil energy from his body using talismans, it might damage his soul and body.
Therefore, I need to nourish his body.
Using the power of medicine to stabilize his body.
Then, using talisman techniques and Daoist magic, slowly expel the evil energy from his body.
To achieve the optimal effect..."
After hearing Master's words, I finally understood.
Soon, Master finished writing the prescription.
I glanced at it, there were over twenty kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs.
I had never heard of most of them, but the few I recognized.
For example, Nanxing and Banxia, were both poisonous Chinese herbs.
The dosage for each herb was quite substantial.
Many were in half-catty or one-catty quantities.
All these combined, the herbs alone would be about ten catties.
Such large doses of Chinese medicinal herbs.
A small shop really couldn't dispense them, and the price would definitely be expensive, so I had to go to the Chinese medicinal market.
I took the prescription, and Master took out a stack of money for me from the drawer.
It looked like about ten thousand, telling me to use it to buy medicine...
I took the money and nodded:
"Alright Master, I'll go to the Chinese medicinal market now."
After speaking, I bid farewell to Master and the Wang family and went directly to the Chinese medicinal market.
During this time, Mo Ting also called me.
He asked how the Wang family was doing at Master's place and if they needed any help.
I then told Mo Ting about the Duoming Tong.
And that I was going to buy Chinese medicine to exorcise Dandan's evil energy.
Mo Ting was also quite surprised to hear this.
He hadn't expected that the ghost child was actually the work of Miao Nanzi, the demon Daoist.
And it was such a malevolent Southern border Duoming Tong, a soul nurturing evil technique.
I then told Mo Ting to rest well and recharge his energy.
So that he could accompany me tonight to deal with that ghost child.
Because my master said that this Duoming Tong was still in its infancy and not yet ferocious.
We could handle it now.
He wanted me to go also to temper me and increase my practical combat experience.
More importantly, it was to compete for the ghost's lifespan and seize the lamp oil...
