Chapter 60 Preparation
When talking about things that can be used to catch ghosts and drive away evil spirits, most people would first think of something like a peach wood sword.

Just like the Taoist priest Lingxu in the Wulei Mountain Taoist Temple, when he was helping Jiang Yao and others to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits, he was also waving a peach wood sword around.

When Taoist Lingxu was knocked to the ground, if Jiang Yao wanted to take the peach wood sword from his hand, it would definitely not be a problem.

However, after some consideration, he did not do so.

After all, Taoist Lingxu is a liar. Who knows whether the peach wood sword in his hand is real or fake?

How can such an item, whose authenticity you don't know, be as reliable as a peach wood sword made by yourself?

The peach tree behind Jiang Yao's house has been growing for more than ten years.

Holding a machete, he walked around the peach tree several times. In the end, he did not cut the trunk, but only cut off a few thick branches from the tree.

It took Jiang Yao more than an hour to make three peach wood swords using the chopped branches.

Of course, his craftsmanship was very average and he was a bit pressed for time, so the final peach wood sword he made looked very simple and could barely take the shape of a sword.

To be honest, when making something like a peach wood sword, the best material would definitely be peach wood that has been struck by lightning.

However, this kind of material is somewhat difficult to find. Given Jiang Yao's current condition, it goes without saying that it is unlikely for him to get this thing in a short period of time.

As for whether this ordinary peach wood sword could have any effect on the ghosts, Jiang Yao had no idea.

In order to give himself a little confidence, he found a broken plug from home while his mother Yuan Xiuhua had not returned yet. After stripping the copper core of the two wires connected to the plug, he wrapped them around the peach wood sword he made.

"Zizizizi... Zizizizi..." When the plug was connected to the power source, sparks suddenly flew from the peach wood sword and it began to turn black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the three peach wood swords were made one by one, Jiang Yao took out one of them and began to look at it: "Not bad. I can't find the lightning-struck peach wood, so my electric-struck peach wood should be able to make do with it."

Nodding with satisfaction, he found a worn snakeskin bag at home, put the three peach wood swords in it, and then picked up the scimitar and went to cut willow branches.

There is a saying in folklore that the more you hit a ghost with a willow branch, the shorter the ghost will become. If that's the case, willow branches should be able to cause some damage to ghosts.

Unable to find a reliable wizard to deal with Huang Cuicui, Jiang Yao and his friends can only rely on themselves.

Jiang Yao naturally doesn't want to miss out on any of the various things handed down from the folks that can be used to deal with evil spirits, as long as he has the conditions to collect them.

On the other side, in front of a house only a hundred meters away from Jiang Yao’s house.

"Xiaohao, do you want some candy?"

"miss you!"

"Then pee on a soldier and let me see. After you're done, I'll give you candy!"

"it is good!"

……

Squatting in front of a few little boys who were playing in the mud, Bingzai took out a handful of candies and tempted one of the little guys.

Perhaps it was because the candy was too tempting, the boy named Xiaohao, who was only four or five years old, pulled down his pants and started eating candy towards Bingzai's head.

"Fuck, I told you to pee in the bottle, not on my head..." The soldier, who was squatting in front of Xiao Hao, was obviously unable to dodge and was peed on all over his head and face.

He slapped Xiao Hao on the head, and scolded him in anger.

"Wuwuwu...Brother Bing, you are cheating. You said you would give me candy if I peed once."

"I peed myself, and you didn't give me candy, but you hit me. I'm going to tell grandma!"

...The little guy's face was full of grievance, and his tears flowed down like beads from a broken string.

"No, no, no, I'm just giving you candy, why are you crying!" When Bingzai hit Taoist Lingxu on the head with a brick in the Wulei Mountain Taoist Temple, he was clean and neat, but now, facing the threat from the little guy, he immediately began to panic.

There's no way around it. People in this area basically have the same ancestor.

Although the little guy in front of him is only this young, he is of the same generation as him.

If others knew that he, as the older brother, actually bullied such a little kid, he would probably have trouble holding his head up in their group.

After stuffing several candies into Xiaohao's hands, the little guy finally stopped crying and laughed.

"Xiaojun, Xiaoyong, the same goes for you guys."

"If you want candy, give me some pee."

"But first, I have a rule. You can't pee on my head. You have to pee in the bottle in my hand."

After coaxing Xiao Hao, Bingzai took out a few bottles from the plastic bag he carried with him and started to work on the minds of the other little ones.

……

Before I knew it, it was already past five in the afternoon.

It is already late autumn, and it gets dark much earlier than in summer.

It was a little past five o'clock, and although night had not yet fallen, the sun had already begun to set.

Yuan Xiuhua, who had been out visiting friends, had returned home a while ago. At the moment, she was busy in the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm going to the street to play!" Jiang Yao, who had just returned from outside, hid the snakeskin bag he was carrying by the fence at the door of his house. Then he walked a few steps to the kitchen on the side of the house and greeted Yuan Xiuhua who was cooking.

"You provoked some unclean creatures a few days ago, and now that things are just getting a little better, you want to go out and play again?" Yuan Xiuhua popped her head out from the kitchen, complaining with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"Mom, it's okay. I'm fine now, aren't I?" Jiang Yao responded with two dry laughs.

"What about dinner? Aren't you going to eat at home?" Yuan Xiuhua continued with a stern face.

"No, I have an appointment with my friends to eat out tonight!" Jiang Yao apologized quickly with a smile.

He really couldn't tell his mother in detail about his problems.

If he really told the truth and told his mother that he was still being haunted by the female ghost and would die soon, then he would have no chance of going out because Yuan Xiuhua would definitely keep a close eye on him.

As for continuing to ask his mother Yuan Xiuhua for help and asking her to find a more reliable wizard, after thinking about it, Jiang Yao decided to forget it.

After all, Yuan Xiuhua couldn't tell whether those mages had any abilities or not.

Knowing that her son's problem was so serious, she must have been extremely panicked and would be desperate to try all kinds of methods. If she were asked to help, she would most likely make things worse and waste her precious time.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to hide it from her for the time being, while I am not bedridden and can still walk, I should give it a try, maybe it will be more reliable.

"You don't come home all day and all night, just running around outside!" Yuan Xiuhua muttered while glaring at Jiang Yao fiercely.

But in the end she didn't say anything else, but turned back to the kitchen.

As for Jiang Yao, he tiptoed, took a shovel from home, put it on his shoulder, returned to the door of his house, picked up the snakeskin bag he had put there earlier, and walked quickly towards the nearby road.
