Chapter 309 Heavenly Master 16
Sure enough, when the female ghost heard Situ Shuangshuang say she wanted to send her to the Underworld to await reincarnation, she immediately panicked and said anxiously, "Lord Heavenly Master, no, I don’t want to go to the Underworld, I don’t want to reincarnate, I still can’t reincarnate, I can’t reincarnate..."
The female ghost kept repeating that she didn’t want to reincarnate, yet couldn’t give a reason, her words lacked logic, only endlessly saying she didn’t want to reincarnate.
Situ Shuangshuang frowned a little, now beginning to suspect that the female ghost might have been wandering for too long, her mind somewhat muddled. Thinking this, Situ Shuangshuang raised her hand to tap her palm, intending to retrieve a talisman from the Qiankun Talisman! It turns out upon touching it that all the talismans on her hand were already used up!
She remembered that the talisman paper at home was already used up, and she hadn’t had the chance to make more talisman paper. Without talisman paper, she couldn’t draw a talisman, and without a talisman, she couldn’t help this female ghost regain clarity.
Situ Shuangshuang looked up at the sky, finally sighed, and decided to go out to buy some materials for making talisman paper. As for this female ghost, anyway, she had been wandering confused for long enough, and being muddled for two more days wouldn’t make much difference!
With a wave of her hand, she collected the female ghost with her long hair covering her face back into the small coffin on her bracelet. Then Situ Shuangshuang reflexively planned to use a Thousand Miles Talisman to go out, only to grab empty air and then remembered, oh, she didn’t have any talismans left! With no choice, she had to go out on foot.
Situ Shuangshuang went straight to buy branches from willow, mulberry, peach, locust, and elm trees from the orchard and the municipal garden bureau.
These two places did not lack pruned branches, and since Situ Shuangshuang was an old customer, the price given was very cheap. The five types of trees she bought were known as the Five Immortal Woods, each with its own effect, used to make different talisman papers.
Willow wood has the effect of suppressing ghosts, and there is a saying in folklore about using willow branches to strike ghosts until they become smaller. Willow’s greatest effect on ghosts is restraint, and talisman paper made from willow is suitable for drawing talismans that suppress ghosts, such as Sealing Talismans.
Mulberry wood is mainly for killing in exorcism. Artifacts made from mulberry wood have the strongest effect on killing ghosts. Even those in the Evil Path who harm people often use mulberry wood to make cursing artifacts because of its powerful killing force, making mulberry wood ideal for making Ghost Killing Talismans.
