CHAPTER 13: CHAPTER 7: MING ZHANG NOTES

The Earth Ghost is easy to invite, but hard to send away!

Just to take a look at his wife and child at home, truly insane.

Poor Li Family’s wife, widowed at such a young age. If I can’t help Li Weiming fulfill his wish, the family will never be at peace.

In this matter, even my master is powerless. Let’s see how she fulfills the wish and sends away that Earth Ghost.

...

[May 12]

Black Mountain Village has ninety-nine people, five black dogs, and ten morning roosters.

Kou Yushan has gone mad, daring to offend my master!

The Corpse Nest passed through, which is the village’s bad fortune, but if my master hadn’t disregarded the backlash from evil spirits and forcibly tamed the spirits to drive the nest away, all the over a hundred people here would have surely died.

Sacrificed nine to save so many in Black Mountain Village, where else in the world could you find such a profitable deal?

Is it not better than him calling upon village ghosts, risking mutual destruction?

But my master is truly acting strange. Previously, while serving in the Evil Suppression Bureau, he would avoid evil spirit calamities whenever he could, lacking a Bodhisattva’s compassion.

Now, why is he so invested in Black Mountain Village, even risking injury to protect these humble lives?

Many of his behaviors and habits now also do not resemble when I first followed him, more and more like the appearance of the evil spirit he tamed in life.

Asked my master, he said it was nothing, and I didn’t feel good saying anything more.

Fortunately, it wasn’t without gain; found a yin object at the site where the Corpse Nest passed.

This is a once-in-a-million, extremely rare good thing; even ordinary people can use it.

But I don’t know what kind of evil spirit left it, how many times it can be used, what effects it has, or what the cost is; even my master is guarding against me from seeing it.

The yin object, when placed on a Yin Walker, can suppress to some extent the evil spirits being tamed, making them more obedient. When will I ever get a top-quality yin object?

Yin object custody requires wrapping in red cloth, then winding a red string soaked in chicken blood around it nine times. When using, lead with blood and throw it out, remember!

...

[May 29]

Black Mountain Village has ninety-nine people, five black dogs, and twenty morning roosters.

Villagers pooled money to buy ten morning roosters.

Even for such a simple task as calling back a child’s soul, they ask me to do it? As long as they remember ’do not look back when the soul returns’, can’t they grab anyone to do it?

Also, the Liu Family lost something a few days ago, and these days, blood-stained old books have appeared at home for no reason, and they ask me to trace the source?

Recently, I have found the stone steps to the First Layer of the Nine Netherworld, I must hurry to pass the Yin and descend to the Second Floor of Nine Netherworld soon.

My master is still searching for a tamable evil spirit for me, no news yet, becoming a Yin Walker is really not easy, it depends on fate.

Heard that my master also accidentally tamed an evil spirit back in the day, becoming a Yin Walker, he never wanted this path.

Returned from Tangyuan County today, brought back a letter from an old friend of the master, after reading it, he looked unwell, said an old friend of his in the Evil Suppression Bureau died suddenly in a miserable state, it was done by a Yin Child.

Serving in the Evil Suppression Bureau, dealing with evil spirits daily, to die at natural aging is a luxury, getting a complete corpse is a blessing.

After reading the letter, my master’s attitude changed, promised to teach me wholeheartedly the ways of exorcism, after matters in Black Mountain Village are settled, he is taking me back to the sect, to impart talismans and enter the path.

Another matter, my master was previously injured, needs to conduct a blood sacrifice to suppress the evil spirit’s backlash within him.

The calamity of the Corpse Nest has made Black Mountain Village’s villagers anxious and uneasy, my master cannot ask villagers to offer blood sacrifice tributes, the current plan can only capture the Village Guardian and her daughter.

The two are mad and often disappear, no one would notice if they die.

Once my master’s injuries heal, the blood sacrifice succeeds, his path will surely advance further, by then, who in Black Mountain Village would dare defy my master’s orders?

...

[June 6]

Black Mountain Village has ninety-nine people, five black dogs, and seventeen morning roosters.

The Village Guardian’s foolish girl ran away, master’s blood sacrifice is only half complete, still needs a good-looking offering.

Master instructed, must catch the little fool alive, could the little fool have something special? Seems like my master was also hurt by the little fool?

...

[June 25]

Black Mountain Village has ninety-nine people, five black dogs, and fifteen morning roosters.

Still can’t catch that little fool, many have seen her around the village, it must be Kou Yushan aiding her secretly.

Kou Yushan opposes my master and me at every turn, unfortunately, he stands no chance against my master.

Harvest season approaches, Wheat Evil has appeared in the fields, without my master’s intervention, this year Black Mountain Village would yield no harvest, and could not cultivate again.

Without grain to last the winter, and losing the lands they rely on for survival, next year there will be no Black Mountain Village.

My master publicly appointed Liu Caifeng as the sacrifice, ordered the Liu Family to deliver her to his residence before nightfall in three days, otherwise his wounds can’t heal, unable to resist the Wheat Evil.

During the harvest season, the Evil Suppression Bureau is busy with affairs, a remote mountain village like Black Mountain Village has no hands to spare.

Kou Yushan had three letters of appeal sent to the county government in Tangyuan County, all without response, can only rely on my master.

Thinking of Kou Yushan’s grim face today, brings a thrill to my heart!

They don’t see, which peasant dares oppose, whoever opposes wants to doom the whole village, stands against the entire village.

He selfishly saved the little fool, yet forced Liu Caifeng to become the offering, the cycle of cause and effect!

Thrilling! Truly thrilling!

...

[June 28]

Black Mountain Village has ninety-nine people, five black dogs, and fifteen morning roosters.

Going to Tangyuan County to fetch a letter for master today, hopefully news about my mastery of an evil spirit has arrived.

Must return before dusk, go to the Liu Family to take the person, do not forget!
