Chapter 5

Seeing the look in our eyes, Huang Yiyi's face flushed red, and she dared not look at us, quickly lowering her head.

"Yiyi, what are you standing there for? Come over quickly," Huang Baiwan shouted at Huang Yiyi.

Huang Yiyi let out a small cry but did not immediately come over. Instead, her face turned even redder.

Seeing this, Huang Baiwan's eyes flickered, and he sternly asked, "What? Are you...?"

"No, I'm just afraid of pain!" Huang Yiyi knew what her grandfather meant, and her face turned even redder. Huang Yiyi, who was already very beautiful, now looked even more delicate and charming with her blushing face.

In the end, for her father, Huang Yiyi stepped forward and extended her middle finger to me. Similarly, I used scissors to cut her finger and let two drops of blood fall.

Huang Yiyi asked me why I used scissors instead of a needle to prick her finger.

I replied, "In ancient times, carpenters' ink pots, five-foot rulers, and tailors' scissors were all used to ward off evil. Scissors were not just used for cutting cloth; they were also used to kill. Because they killed many living beings, they carried a malevolent aura, making them evil objects. Using evil to suppress evil is the reason why scissors can ward off evil. I use scissors to cut the finger, and the blood naturally carries a malevolent aura. The blood of a virgin boy and girl, combined with chicken blood and cinnabar, can stabilize the soul!"

Hearing my explanation, Huang Yiyi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

I didn't know if she understood, but now I had to proceed to the next step. I picked up the two silver needles and placed them in the chicken blood and cinnabar, soaking them for about five minutes. Then, I took the needles out, walked to Huang Sihai's feet, and removed his socks.

Facing his Yongquan point, I recited the soul-stabilizing incantation: "Heavenly spirits, respond, may you protect eternal life. Great Mystery, one, guard the true form. Soul return to its place, spirit return to its body, three souls and seven spirits return to their palace, divine soldiers act swiftly as the law commands."

After reciting, I inserted one of the silver needles into the Yongquan point on the sole of Huang Sihai's foot!

Then I went to his head and inserted the other silver needle into the Baihui point on the top of his head in the same manner.

After securing these two points where the soul could leave the body, I poured the remaining chicken blood and cinnabar on the ground, forming a circle around the bed. This is called a soul-stabilizing circle. It's not necessary, but I was worried about my abilities, so I did it.

After all, this was my first time dealing with such a situation, and I had no experience, so I had to be extra cautious.

Seeing me finish pouring the chicken blood, Huang Baiwan immediately asked, "How is it? Master, are you done?"

I nodded slightly and said, "I'm done. In ten minutes, his soul will return, and he will wake up."

Although this was my first time doing such a thing, I had to show confidence in front of Huang Baiwan. Whether speaking or acting, I had to appear very experienced.

Huang Baiwan nodded and then gestured for me to go to the living room to have tea.

While I was chatting with Huang Baiwan over tea, a scream suddenly came from the room. Then, Huang Yiyi's panicked voice echoed, "Grandpa, Grandpa, Dad is spitting blood, Dad is spitting blood."

Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat, and I felt a chill down my back. Did I make a mistake in the procedure? The soul-stabilizing incantation is done this way, and I was sure I didn't make any mistakes.

Huang Baiwan, hearing this, quickly walked into the room, and I followed.

We saw Huang Sihai spitting out a pool of black blood, which was hanging from his mouth and had soaked into his neck.

Huang Baiwan was panicked and looked at me anxiously, asking, "Master, what's going on? Why is this happening?"

I was taken aback. Although I had acted very experienced and confident throughout, this was something I hadn't anticipated. I tried to recall everything my grandfather had taught me, over and over, but I was sure I hadn't made any mistakes.

Just as I was at a loss, Huang Sihai suddenly let out a groan. The sound was difficult, but it drew Huang Baiwan's attention. Then, Huang Sihai slowly opened his eyes.

Huang Sihai woke up!

"Old Four, how are you?" Huang Baiwan asked anxiously.

Huang Sihai took two deep breaths, looked around, and then weakly said, "Dad, I feel much better!"

Hearing this, the heavy stone in my heart finally lifted. Thank goodness nothing went wrong. If I had caused someone to die on my first job, I would have been in big trouble!

"However, my foot and my head feel like they are being held by something, and it hurts a lot."

Hearing Huang Sihai say this, I quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, those are the soul-stabilizing needles I inserted!"

Huang Sihai looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked, "Who are you?"

Huang Baiwan quickly introduced me. After listening, Huang Sihai first expressed doubt, perhaps because I looked too young for him to believe.

However, after a brief moment of doubt, he said many words of gratitude. Clearly, he knew he had been unconscious.

The words of gratitude were secondary because it was far from the time to thank me.

I got straight to the point, "Mr. Huang, I heard from Miss Huang that before you fell unconscious, you had a dream! In the dream, an old man was talking to you, but you couldn't hear what he was saying, right?"

Huang Sihai, hearing this, said with a serious expression, "Yes, an old man! He had no hair, only a beard. He was scolding me in my dream, but I couldn't hear what he was saying. I wanted to ask him, but I couldn't speak. It was as if we couldn't communicate. He kept scolding me, and then he hit me, knocking me unconscious with one slap."

Hearing this, I also found it very strange! After all, it was the first time I had heard such a bizarre story.

I was about to ask more, but Huang Baiwan suddenly spoke, "That's your great-grandfather, my grandfather. Not only did you dream about him, but the eldest and second eldest also dreamed about him before they died, and their dreams were exactly the same as yours."

Saying this, Huang Baiwan's face turned gloomy!

It felt as if anyone who had this dream would die!

"I had someone check your great-grandfather's grave, but they found nothing wrong! I also burned a lot of paper money for him, asking him to send me a dream, but I never dreamed about him."

"Mr. Li, do you think... this has something to do with my grandfather?"

Huang Baiwan looked at me with a doubtful expression.

I nodded and said, "It's very likely! Let's go to his grave and take a look."
