Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing that Mrs. Liu was about to treat her as a swindler, Yun Qin felt helpless and quickly said, “I’m just asking. I don’t want what is yours.”
It seemed that only when this woman saw it with her own eyes tonight would she believe her.
But before she left, she still had to do something to make the woman feel at ease.
So Yun Qin thought about the contents of the ancient Taoist book. Then she coughed lightly and pretended to recite a chant, “Just as the sun rises in the east, I give this talisman the power to sweep away all bad omens. My eyes are as bright as the sun. I use the canopy strength of the heavens to catch ghosts. I use the vajra to cure illnesses. I subdue demons and turn them into good luck. Abracadabra!”

Mrs. Liu, who was standing next to her, immediately looked as if she was about to worship her.
“Alright, I suppressed the evil entity in this room. It will be much weaker for the time being. I will come again tonight to subdue it.”
Then, Yun Qin said, “Go and find some ox tears. After ten o’clock tonight, go wait for me with the cow tears. Remember do not to enter the house, and don’t tell your husband.”
When dealing with these older couples, it’s best to not let them see the culprit so easily. They need to be intimidated first so it’s easier to carry out the next phases of the operation.
As for the ox tears that she mentioned, it was just a conduit that could absorb evil energy. Whether or not an ordinary person, who was not tainted with evil energy, could use it to see ghosts depended greatly on luck.
“Ah, ox tears, where can I find that?” Mrs. Liu looked confused.
“That depends on your luck. If you do well this time, I guarantee that nothing will happen in the future. I read your fortune based on your physiognomy and I can tell that you are a blessed person.” Yun Qin leaned closer to Mrs. Liu’s ear and said mysteriously.
Based on the contents of the ancient Taoist book, all she could really tell was that Mrs.Liu had many children and that they were all good people. However, it didn’t hurt to inflate her fortune slightly to put her at ease.
Therefore, Yun Qin left leisurely under Mrs. Liu’s surprised expression.
She still had to research how to catch ghosts that would maximize the visual effect.
It was 10 p.m. Mrs. Liu went downstairs with the ox tears that she worked hard to obtain. At this time, her husband already fell asleep, and there didn’t seem to be anything unusual at the moment.
Just as Mrs. Liu was walking around the neighborhood like a headless fly, Yun Qin, who was dressed in black, finally appeared at the corner.
Seeing that Mrs. Liu was still muttering to herself, Yun Qin went up and tapped her shoulder, “Are you ready?”
“Ah! You scared me to death.” Mrs. Liu cried out in surprise. When she turned around and saw Yun Qin dressed mysteriously, she patted her heart and said, “Okay, okay, here’s the ox tears.”
After saying that, Mrs. Liu stretched handed Yun Qin a small bag of liquid that was stored in a transparent plastic bag.
She actually found the item? Yun Qin was a little impressed with Mrs. Liu.
However, in order to maintain her image as an expert, she nodded lightly and instructed, “Apply it on your eyelids.”
“Why? This is ox…” Mrs. Liu became nervous.
Yun Qin gave a bogus reason, “If you are meant to be, you can temporarily open up some psychic abilities by applying it.”
“At that time, you will be able to see what is tormenting your husband.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu widened her eyes and kept quiet. She carefully applied the ox tears on her eyes and blinked, but she did not notice any changes.
Yun Qin led her upstairs. The closer they were to Mrs. Liu’s house, the more agitated the greedy ghost in her arms became. It even secretly stretched its head out and glanced at Mrs. Liu, who was looking left and right behind her.
“Ah! What is this thing!” Mrs. Liu seemed to have seen the greedy ghost on Yun Qin’s body. She cried out in surprise. When she saw Yun Qin turn around, the strange-looking thing disappeared again.
“Huh, why did it disappear…” Mrs. Liu was a little stunned.
“Did you see something? Don’t worry, that should be your psychic abilities opening up. With me protecting you, you’ll be fine,” Yun Qin comforted her. She turned around and pushed the agitated greedy ghost back.
She only brought the greedy ghost because the hidden ghost and the zombie worm family didn’t like to go out. They would stay in after they chose a territory so they were probably sleeping at her house.

“Oh, I see.” Mrs. Liu calmed down. She looked at Yun Qin’s long black hair tied up with a wooden hairpin and couldn’t help but ask, “You’re so young yet you know how to catch ghosts? Where did you learn that?”
Yun Qin was silent for a moment, and then she answered, “I have studied under Celestial Master Zhang for more than ten years.”
