My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Yu Qiucai and his wife were both somewhat puzzled; if it wasn’t possession, then how could it be called being cursed?

"Miss Yu’s Bazi (Chinese astrology) is of a Yin nature, which means she is more likely to see things that others cannot. You must have sought a Peace Talisman for her to wear when she was younger, correct?"

"Ah, it’s really true." Mrs. Yu stepped forward, hooked out a red rope from her daughter’s neck with a crescent jade charm hung on it, and said, "This jade token, after Die’er was born and would not stop crying day and night, we took her to the temple to worship Buddha, and the presiding monk gave it to us saying that the child’s Bazi was weak, and wearing a jade charm could protect her from evil spirits. Indeed, she stopped crying once she wore this Jade Moon, and so she has always worn it. Over the years she has grown healthier, she likes it herself, and never took it off."

Qin Liuxi glanced at the crescent jade charm, which had some Sanskrit inscriptions on it, and nodded, "It’s Sanskrit, it seems that the monk indeed has merit, having consecrated and blessed it himself, there’s some Buddha nature in it."

The couple was overjoyed upon hearing this but immediately furrowed their brows with concern: "But, master, if she has the jade charm, why would the young girl still be cursed?"

"It’s not being cursed, but encountering evil." Qin Liuxi said, "Her Bazi is light, naturally, more prone to encountering unclean things. She must have been frightened by something unfavorable, resulting in the loss of a soul."

Mrs. Yu shuddered, "Lost a soul?"

"People have three souls and seven spirits. Heaven and Earth command the three souls; the Earth Soul governs the spirit and is Yang. She has lost her Earth Soul, that’s why she seems spiritless and then developed what you believe to be epileptic fits. Her Bazi is light, and with the Earth Soul lost, if it weren’t for the protection of this jade charm, she would probably have been possessed by evil spirits by now."

Not just Mrs. Yu, even Yu Qiucai, a grown man, was sweating at the temples and swallowing hard after hearing this. He looked at his daughter, who lay there listlessly on the bed, and said, "Master, you must save our girl, please help her retrieve her soul."

"Rest assured."

Qin Liuxi turned around, had Qi Huang, who was also dressed in men’s clothes, prepare everything, dismissed the onlookers, set up the incense burner and altar, and burned talismans to purify the air.
