Uncle Piao and Aunt Pang came out to greet the guests when they heard the noise.

The family and Grandma Su sat in the living room.

Grandma Su felt a chill run down her spine when she saw that everyone's eyes were dark and swollen.

Remembering the amulet Liu Dong had given him before he entered, he couldn't help but reach into his pocket and touch it.

Seeing Uncle Piao's family yawning one after another, Grandma Su couldn't help but ask, "You all had nightmares last night. What were they about?"

The family said in unison, "We were chased by a ghost."

As soon as the words were spoken, the family looked at each other in bewilderment, and then spoke at the same time.

"You also dreamed of being chased by ghosts?"

Then they looked at each other in bewilderment.

The plump aunt swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "We haven't really seen a ghost, have we?"

The three daughters trembled with fear.

Grandma Su looked at Liu Zhu.

Liu Tong nodded and mouthed the words.

Grandma Su realized that Liu Dong was referring to the word "bell".

Grandma Su then spoke up to Uncle Piao and Aunt Pang, saying, "I know a Taoist priest who has some real skills. Why don't we ask him to come and take a look?"

The plump auntie immediately nodded: "Grandma, thank you for your trouble. Please contact that person as soon as possible. We'll pay whatever it costs."

Grandma Su: "Okay, I'll have Ah-Tong call him."

There was a telephone in the living room. Liu Tong picked up the receiver and made a call to Zhong Fabai.

Upon hearing that there was a ghost, Zhong Fabai immediately packed his things and ran over.

The doorbell rang, and Dai Di quickly went to open the door and led a middle-aged man in.

After entering the house, Zhong Fabai said to Uncle Piao and Aunt Pang, "Your family are all good people, and you have accumulated good karma to protect you. You haven't been harmed by evil spirits even though you've only been here for a few days. But if you continue to live here, it will be dangerous."

Su Axi was somewhat skeptical of ghost stories, but she was bold enough to ask, "Are there really ghosts? Can we see them?"

Zhong Fabai noticed a faint golden light on Su Axi's body and realized it was the effect of the talisman drawn by Liu Tong, understanding that the girl was not in danger.

Even if you see a ghost, it's just a scary experience.

Finally, it turned out that Uncle Piao's family, who had already made contact with evil spirits, were destined to see ghosts.

Zhong Fabai: "Sure, I can let you see ghosts."

After saying that, he took out a bottle from the cloth bag on his back and handed it to Su Axi: "Pour a drop and apply it to your eyelids."

Su Axi took it with a puzzled look: "What is this?"

Zhong Fabai: "Ox tears."

Su Axi: "What's the use of cow tears?"

Grandma Su explained to her: "Ox tears can make people see ghosts."

"Really?" Su Axi asked, half-believing, as she poured out a drop of cow's tear and smeared it on her double eyelids.

Grandma Su took the bottle containing the cow tears and was about to pour it out.

Zhong Fabai stopped her, saying, "You're too old to handle stress, so please don't watch it."

Grandma Su laughed and said, "It's alright, I'm brave, and I have the amulet that Ah-Tong gave me, so nothing will happen."

Zhong Fabai glanced at Liu Tong, and Liu Tong nodded.

Zhong Fabai then stopped Su Apo.

Grandma Su applied the cow tears and handed the bottle to Aunt Pang.

Aunt Pang and her family also applied cow tears.

After applying the ointment, the scene in front of the people changed.

The once clean and orderly living room became dark and filled with black mist.

A figure appeared and disappeared in the black mist, emitting a cackling laugh.

The fat aunt and her family were so frightened that they trembled and huddled together.

Su Axi was also frightened and reached out to hug her grandmother's arm. Zhong Fabai said to everyone, "You all leave the house. You can come back in after I've dealt with these ghosts."

"Master, we beg you. We will repay you handsomely once the evil spirit is vanquished."

After saying that, Uncle Piao hurriedly grabbed his wife and daughter and rushed towards the front gate.

Su Axi helped Su Apo towards the gate, and seeing that Liu Tong was not moving, she immediately called out to him.

"Ah-Tsuki, what are you standing there for? Run!"

Liu Tong: "No, I'll stay and assist Uncle Zhong."

Su Axi: "What are you doing helping out, you're just a child?"

Liu Tong chuckled, "I've learned magic too."

Su Axi: "Huh?"

Grandma Su pulled her along, saying, "That boy, Ah-Tong, is no ordinary person. He's much more capable than you."

Su Axi retorted, "I'm very capable too."

How could a teenage girl like her be outdone by a child who is only a few years old?
Isn't it just magic?

She can learn that too.

Su Axi made up her mind that once this matter was over, she would become Zhong Fabai's apprentice.

The evil spirits in this house are indeed formidable to ordinary Taoist priests.

If Zhong Fabai were alone, he wouldn't be able to deal with these evil spirits; he might even be seriously injured.

But he has Liu Dong as his helper.

Liu Dong is not as skilled in using magic as Zhong Fabai, but the true energy of his Changzhen Gong has a restraining effect on ghosts and monsters, and the power of the talismans he draws is even stronger than that of Zhong Fabai.

Using the talismans drawn by Liu Dong, along with his own Taoist magic, Zhong Fabai finally captured the evil spirits and sent them directly to the underworld.

These creatures have harmed people; once they enter the underworld, they will be cast into the eighteen levels of hell.

After finishing their work, Zhong Fabai said to Liu Dong, "We'll split this deal 50/50."

The fact that I was able to handle it so easily is all thanks to Liu Dong's talisman.

Moreover, this business deal was introduced by Liu Dong.

Zhong Fabai knows how to be grateful.

Liu Tong did not refuse and said, "Let's exchange all the money for materials."

Zhong Fabai smiled happily: "Great!"

The two walked out the door, and the people outside saw them and swarmed around them.

"Master, Master, how is it? Have all the ghosts inside been eliminated?" Aunt Fat's voice was the loudest.

Zhong Fabai's ears hurt a little from the loud voice of the fat aunt. He raised his hand to rub his ears and said, "They've all been taken care of. You can live here in peace from now on."

Uncle Piao quickly expressed his gratitude to Zhong Fabai: "Um, Master, we don't have much money on hand right now. I'll go to the bank tomorrow to withdraw some money and then bring it to you. Is that alright?"

Zhong Fabai readily agreed with a smile.

The family invited Zhong Fabai to have dinner at their home.

Aunt Pang had prepared a lot of good food to entertain Liu Dong and his two companions, and now that there was one more person, the food was just enough.

Aunt Pang is a very good cook. Her family has been from Shanghai for generations, so she can cook Shanghainese cuisine.

Aunt Pang made drunken chicken and grape fish, and they tasted very authentic.

The dessert was a mixed fruit and lard cake, but it was a bit too sweet for Liu Tong's taste.

Zhong Fabai, however, shares the same taste as several girls; they all love sweets.

After the meal, Liu Tong and the other two left with Zhong Fabai.

My brother called a taxi in advance, and the four of us took one taxi back to the city.

Zhong Fabai's shop wasn't far from Liu Dong's residence. He got off the bus outside the residential area where the three of them lived and walked back to his shop.

Su Axi hurriedly chased after her. (End of Chapter)
