Chapter 15 Human Skin Lantern (Part 3)

"Huh, is it really this lantern that's causing the trouble?"

Liu Daniu glanced at the lanterns moving on the tree without any wind with some resistance, and the more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"Snapped!"

A loud bang echoed in his ears, and Liu Daniu snapped back to his senses in surprise, just in time to see Su Yixuan withdraw her hand.

"what happened?"

"Nothing much? There was just a mosquito, but don't worry, I've already killed it."

"Mosquitoes, mosquitoes?"

"Yup!"

Su Yixuan opened her hand, and sure enough, there was a dead mosquito lying in her palm. Her long legs twitched unconsciously a couple of times.

"..."

Su Yixuan walked around the small courtyard with her hands behind her back. It has to be said that although Liu Daniu relied entirely on deception in business, he put a lot of effort into the feng shui of his own home.

Because the surrounding tall buildings blocked the sunlight, they also stifled the vitality of this old house.

Liu Dani dug a well on one side of the courtyard and built a washing pool along the well opening. The water in the pool did not go directly to the sewer, but flowed around the front courtyard before entering the sewer.

Water represents wealth and brings vitality. Flowing water can also cleanse the home and protect it from harm.

But at this moment, in Su Yixuan's eyes, a continuous stream of black mist rolled into the well, tightly enveloping the entire courtyard with the flow of water.

The raging evil energy could still be faintly seen. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise this family and the people in the vicinity would have suffered.

"The feng shui is good. It's clear you're not just spouting nonsense."

"Thank you for the compliment. I didn't arrange this feng shui layout; it was done by a master I knew before."

Su Yixuan was speechless.

He picked a topic: "Can I go live? My fans want to watch."

"cannot!"

"What? Afraid of being recognized?"

Liu Daniu coughed awkwardly: "Give me some face, or how am I supposed to get by in the future?"

"Or, why don't you wear a hood?"

"Are you serious?"

Su Yixuan put away her phone: "Of course it was a joke!"

Liu Daniu was extremely anxious: "Stop joking, let's get down to business."

Su Yixuan pointed at the small lantern: "I already said it's its problem, you should hurry up and return it to where you picked it up."

"Aren't you going back yet!"

"???"

"I tried, it was impossible to get it down. I had thought the lantern had a bad feel to it, so I wanted to throw it away, but as soon as I threw it in the trash can, I came in and saw it still on the tree. Another time, when my son wasn't home, I threw it in a cemetery in another city, and guess what?"

"It's obvious, isn't it still in the tree!"

"Yes, yes, you can't throw it out at all, it will come back by itself. Later, there were a lot of things going on at home, one after another, either someone fell downstairs and broke their leg, or someone fell into the pond while washing the mop, so I forgot about it."

Su Yixuan looked up at the sky. The sun was almost swallowed by the buildings, but the sunset was still dazzling.

“It’s not time yet, she won’t come out. Let’s wait a little longer. While we still have time, take out the talismans you used to deceive people. I’ll draw two talismans just in case.”

"What kind of fake talismans are these! These are genuine products I bought from Tianling Incense Shop."

"Okay, whatever you say is what it is."

Liu Daniu quickly came out carrying an old schoolbag, and poured out a lot of things, including calligraphy brushes, talisman paper, inkstones, and plastic clips.

Su Yixuan examined each item one by one, then quickly frowned: "That's all?"

Liu Daniu rubbed his face awkwardly: "That's all!"

"You really don't put any thought into conning people. You call this toilet paper 'genuine'?" Liu Daniu blushed: "What toilet paper? This really was bought from Tianling Incense Shop!"

Su Yixuan shrugged: "It's more than enough to deal with minor grudges and ghosts, but this lantern contains a fierce evil spirit, and ordinary talismans won't work at all. There's also a good chance that if we don't handle it properly, she might escape, and it won't be so easy to catch her again. Just to be on the safe side, I'll come back tomorrow when I'm ready. You guys hold on for one more day."

Upon hearing this, Liu Daniu couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

He glanced furtively at the motionless little lantern and had a feeling that if Su Yixuan left, his life would be in danger.

"Master Su, can't we just make do?"

Su Yixuan gave a forced smile: "Hehe, you're all experts, why are you talking like laymen?"

"Wait here, I'll find you something good."

Liu Xiaoqiang, a tall and burly man standing to the side, curled his lip in dissatisfaction: "Grandpa, are you sure you want to hand over all your savings? What if she doesn't have any real skills? Wouldn't that be a waste of our family's treasure?"

Liu Dani stretched his jaw, mentally prepared himself, and then went into the bedroom without looking back.

Soon he came out carrying an antique-style wooden box.

With trembling hands, he took the key from his waist and slowly opened the door.

Su Yixuan's eyes lit up. She couldn't believe that the old charlatan, whose business acumen was all based on deception, actually had some good stuff hidden in his house.

Inside the wooden box, on the top layer, was a bone writing brush tied with a red ribbon. The bone handle was polished very smoothly, and the brush tip was not made of ordinary sage hair, but of white fox fur.

Moreover, it was a young fox that had been abused and killed, and harbored deep resentment.

Because the red ribbon has runes attached to it, it seals all the evil energy within the wolf's howl, so it doesn't look particularly outstanding.

Below the calligraphy brush was a palm-sized rouge box, which undoubtedly contained the finest cinnabar.

At the bottom were several stacks of red talisman paper, dark red like blood.

Seeing Su Yixuan's eyes light up, Liu Daniu couldn't help but remind her, "This set of magical artifacts was passed down from my ancestors. I don't know exactly how they were obtained. However, when my grandfather gave it to me, he made me swear an oath that I would never touch anything inside, or I would suffer a great calamity."

"Your grandfather is my biological grandfather!"

"..." You don't need to verify this!

Liu Daniu tentatively asked, "Can it be used?"

"Of course!"

Su Yixuan grabbed the toilet paper next to her, drew an intricate talisman, and slapped it into her palm. A golden light flashed in her palm.

He then slowly reached his hand into the wooden box.

She grabbed the bone pen, which trembled violently. Su Yixuan could see the blood-red malevolent energy transform into a ferocious beast that lunged at her.

Unfortunately, he was bound by a golden thread that suddenly appeared, and no matter how much he struggled, he could never touch the tip of her nose.

Sobbing, weeping, despair.

Su Yixuan suddenly flicked the monster's forehead with her finger.

"thump!"

A small, bright red ball of fluff rolled out.

Liu Daniu's brain completely shut down.

Where did this thing come from?
Mo Lijiu, who was acting as an observer, looked at Su Yixuan with great interest... at the calligraphy brush in her hand.

Su Yixuan held the little furball by its tail and examined it carefully: "I'll give you two choices..."

"Squeak (I'll go with you!)"

"Are you sure?"

"Squeak (Your scent smells so familiar!)"

"..." This doesn't sound like good news!

While the two of them were talking at cross purposes, Liu Daniu finally realized what was going on and casually picked up a piece of "toilet paper" and waved it in front of Su Yixuan's eyes.

"Master Su, didn't you say that toilet paper shouldn't be used?"

 My hand hurts so much from writing, only money can cure it~
