Chapter 9 Fan Xiaosi's Methods
Shang Weidong looked at Fan Xiaosi in front of him.

His hair is grey, but he looks only about forty years old.

The tail of the right eyebrow is divided by three healed scars. If you don’t look carefully, you might think it’s a personalized eyebrow done by a young man.

The three scars were long and thin, and looked like they were cut by something sharp.

He wore a long black cloth jacket with white edges on the upper body, and matching black pants on the lower body. On his feet were a pair of not-so-new but very clean black-soled and white-soled cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, and a pair of white socks on his feet.

The whole person looks both traditional and retro and trendy.

I don’t know if this outfit is the standard for a clerk or what, but at least it gives Shang Weidong a very reliable feeling.

As Fan Xiaosi walked, Shang Weidong saw a strange Bagua pattern embroidered on his cuffs.

Apart from the yin-yang fish in the middle, the eight trigrams only have two other trigrams, Qian and Dui, on the outside.

The positions for the other six hexagrams are empty, and I don’t know whether they were not completed or were left like that on purpose.

Just as Shang Weidong was looking at Fan Xiaosi, Fan Xiaosi had already looked at Shang Weidong's father.

"I can solve this handprint, but the handprint is just a means to an end. The ghost will not be eliminated, so you have to think about where you have taken the child these days. After solving the problem here, I have to find the place where the ghost might have appeared."

As soon as Fan Xiaosi finished speaking, Shang Weidong's parents turned their eyes to Shang Weidong.

"Dongzi, think about it quickly. Where did you take the child before this handprint appeared?"

Shang Weidong's father urged.

Shang Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Except for the few days after giving birth in the hospital, we were at home the rest of the time. We didn't book a confinement center or hire a confinement nanny, so the only place the child had been was the distance between the hospital and my home."

Fan Xiaosi frowned.

“Did you pass any special places along the way?”

"No, the road from the hospital to our home is all in the city. I didn't go to any remote places alone. Because I read some miscellaneous books from time to time, I know that I can't take the child to a very shady place, so I avoided the roads with few people along the way."

"Oh?"

Fan Xiaosi looked at Shang Weidong in surprise.

"Since you've noticed it, could it be that this is a problem in your building?"

As Fan Xiaosi said this, he walked around Shang Weidong's house, but didn't find anything wrong.

Combined with what Shang Weidong said, that nothing bad had happened in the building, the source of the ghost directly stumped Fan Xiaosi.

"Then let's do this for now. After I remove the handprint tonight, I will keep watch tomorrow night to see if the wandering spirit will come. If it comes, we will deal with it. If it doesn't come, it means it is incapable of coming, and you don't have to worry about it."

"Once a child has passed the first three months, it will be less easy for these ghosts to haunt the child again."

After hearing what Fan Xiaosi said, Shang Weidong's family thanked him happily.

"Uncle, how much money do you think this will cost? We'll prepare it for you."

Shang Weidong's father asked with a smile on his face.

"If the wandering spirit doesn't come, it'll be 5,000 yuan. If it comes and I deal with it, it'll be 50,000 yuan. But I'll do the work first and then I'll pay. I'll talk about the money after I completely solve this problem the day after tomorrow."

Fan Xiaosi waved his hands, not afraid at all that Shang Weidong's family would default on their debt later.

"Okay, okay, then Uncle, shall we go out for dinner first?"

"No, just eat at home. There's plenty of people at home, and it's good for the evening."

After Fan Xiaosi finished speaking, he walked to the small table and chairs on the balcony of the living room, sat down, and began to bask in the sun.

Shang Weidong and the others didn't dare to refute and just went about their own business.

into the night.

Shang Weidong and his family were all awake, they were all waiting for Fan Xiaosi to take action.

In fact, Shang Weidong was both curious and puzzled about Fan Xiaosi's move. He was curious about what methods this uncle would use, and he was puzzled as to why Fan Xiaosi chose the early morning as the time.

According to what he learned from books and forums, if you want to deal with ghosts, it is best to do so when the Yang energy is sufficient?
The later it gets, the stronger the yin energy becomes. Wouldn't that make the ghosts more powerful?

If Fan Xiaosi knew what Shang Weidong was thinking, he would definitely just laugh it off.

This is the most amateurish performance of an amateur. It is true that Yang energy is strong at noon, but that requires ghosts to dare to come out!

If it doesn’t come out, how can we destroy it?

Furthermore, most of the folk fortune tellers like Fan Xiaosi follow the path of the Yin school. The strong Yin energy is good for ghosts, and naturally it is also good for them.

As for why Fan Xiaosi, a person who follows the Yin school path, likes to bask in the sun?

This is just like people living on land who go swimming from time to time.

You will only cherish what you can’t get!

In the blink of an eye it was midnight.

During this period, Shang Weidong was so nervous that he didn't even go to the forum and just waited until the early morning.

Seeing Fan Xiaosi set off, he and his family immediately followed.

However, when they arrived at the door of the room, Fan Xiaosi stopped everyone except Shang Weidong.

"There are too many people and the room is too crowded. Just one person can go in and the others can wait outside."

After saying that, Fan Xiaosi closed the door.

The space in the bedroom was not large originally, but the big bed that was previously placed in the room had been dismantled and moved outside, so it now seemed empty.

The crib was in the middle of the room and the child was not making any noise.

"No matter what happens later, you just need to stay calm. I'm in the room, and those things will only look for me. If anything unexpected happens, remember to run with the child in your arms, and don't worry about me."

Shang Weidong swallowed and nodded.

Then, Shang Weidong saw Fan Xiaosi take a few steps forward and come to the crib.

Shang Weidong was watching from behind. He originally thought that Fan Xiaosi's methods would be golden light, flames, or even thunder.

But what happened next made Shang Weidong almost turn around and run away.

What Shang Weidong expected did not happen. What appeared in front of him was Fan Xiaosi, who suddenly stood on tiptoe, with his body slightly hunched and his hands on the crib.

If it was just this action, Shang Weidong wouldn't be so frightened.

But at this time, the nails of Fan Xiaosi's hands, which were resting on the crib, had grown more than an inch long, the cuticle thickened, and the front of the nails had turned into a kind of claw-like shape, sharp and ferocious. Any normal person would know that this was not right, but Fan Xiaosi had changed in the blink of an eye.

Shang Weidong was originally worried about the accident that Fan Xiaosi mentioned, but he didn't expect the accident to happen so soon!

Just when he was about to suppress his fear, pick up the child and run away, Fan Xiaosi turned his head and frightened him so much that he collapsed to the ground.

The sharp teeth in Fan Xiaosi's mouth and the shining vertical pupils in his eyes made Shang Weidong completely exhausted.

At this moment, Shang Weidong felt fear and anger.

What made him angry was that Fan Xiaosi had no ability at all and was possessed by a ghost in the blink of an eye!

If I had known this earlier, I would have waited until tomorrow to remove the placenta and tried the method of the master "Tiancan Dique".

At the very least, it won’t be like this, right?
Just when Shang Weidong thought that his family was all doomed, he heard Fan Xiaosi's slightly sharp voice.

"Get up, this is my method, the wandering soul hasn't come yet."

Fan Xiaosi looked at Shang Weidong.

He knew this would happen, but he still brought people in to watch every time.

What if customers don’t come in and see his skills, and think he is cheating, and then want to refuse to pay?
Fan Xiaosi doesn't want to argue with his customers, so he needs to reveal his methods.

"Wow~"

A loud cry was heard, and Fan Xiaosi looked down at the baby in the crib in front of him.

What caused the baby to cry was not the noise made by Monk Fan Xiaosi for Dong, but the handprint on the baby's heart.

In Fan Xiaosi's pupils, which were glowing with a cold light, Yin Qi was constantly emanating from the handprint, which was more than ten times more than what he had seen before.

At this moment, looking at the handprint that was gradually moving towards his heart, Fan Xiaosi grinned.

"Ah."

With a sneer, Fan Xiaosi stretched out his hand, and the nail of his index finger touched the handprint.

With just a slight scratch, a wound the size of a fingernail was left on the handprint.

The wound that should have been oozing blood was now spewing out strong yin energy.

The evil energy bypassed Fan Xiaosi's claws, and a hideous baby head the size of a fist appeared above the crib.

The moment the head appeared, it rushed towards Fan Xiaosi, but what greeted it was only a hand that suddenly waved towards it.

The illusory head was grabbed by Fan Xiaosi.

"Your methods are quite good. I wonder how many children you have killed to have so much evil energy. If you have the ability, come here tonight. I'll be waiting for you!"

After Fan Xiaosi finished speaking in a sharp voice, he tightened his grip and crushed the head.

The Yin Energy spread out and was about to rush into the child's body again, but Fan Xiaosi suddenly took a deep breath.

Suddenly, the scattered Yin energy was sucked into Fan Xiaosi's...eyebrows!

No, it should be the three claw marks on Fan Xiaosi’s right eyebrow.

After a refreshing breath, the light in Fan Xiaosi's vertical pupils disappeared, his heels landed on the ground, his nails shrank, and his fangs flattened.

Feeling the cold feeling coming from his eyebrows, Fan Xiaosi turned his head and looked at Shang Weidong.

"If you're scared, just go out and wait. I'll have to keep watch all night."

Hearing this, Shang Weidong came back to his senses.

Just now he did not see any evil energy or ghost head, he just saw Fan Xiaosi stretching out his hand and speaking something to the air.

Originally, when he heard Fan Xiaosi say this, he wanted to leave.

But when Shang Weidong saw that the handprint on the child's chest in the crib had disappeared, he suddenly felt strength in his body.

Hearing Fan Xiaosi say this, Shang Weidong gritted his teeth and said:
"Uncle, you...just do your work. I'll...wait here."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaosi nodded slightly.

The coldness in his eyes that had not dissipated due to the previous change of vertical pupils also dissipated a little.

After so many years of watching things, he has seen people who are brave and daring at first, but not many of them can persist and stay after seeing their transformed appearance.

Even though Fan Xiaosi saved their loved ones, in the face of fear, those with weak wills could no longer think of anything else except themselves.

So when he saw that Shang Weidong was still able to hold on, Fan Xiaosi felt a bit of admiration in his heart.

"I just don't know if he can hold on if he encounters a real evil spirit?"

Fan Xiaosi thought so.

Unfortunately, what Fan Xiaosi expected did not happen afterwards, and the ghost did not come.

After dawn, Fan Xiaosi left the room, and the people who had been guarding outside the house all night entered the room one after another.

Soon, the sound of tears of joy was heard from inside.

"Fourth Uncle, thank you so much!"

After Shang Weidong's father came out, he put a stack of tens of thousands of yuan in Fan Xiaosi's hand.

Fan Xiaosi took it and put it on the table again.

"No rush, I'll settle the bill tomorrow. I'll go down and do some activities. Call me if you have anything."

After Fan Xiaosi finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out. Shang Weidong's father, who was behind him, hesitated for a while, and then, without caring about anything else, went into the room again to see his grandson.

Downstairs, Fan Xiaosi did the second version of the strengthening exercises three times. He stopped only after he felt the coldness around his eyebrows dissipated a lot.

"This thing is indeed much better than the one handed down from my family. Unfortunately, it is impossible to practice the third version of the physical exercise without actually joining the Public Opinion Bureau."

Fan Xiaosi thought after finishing his exercise.

Thinking of his colleagues who swore to never join the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, Fan Xiaosi couldn't help but shake his head.

"You really treat your family's inheritance as a treasure, tsk."

Fan Xiaosi sighed and turned to look for the breakfast stall.
