Chapter 248: Exorcising Demons and Catching Ghosts!
Still, such lavish spending from the Han family was rare.
Li Yanchu accepted the five thousand taels and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Meng Hai and the others looked on with envy. Five thousand taels! As expected of the wealthy and powerful Han Fortress.
The middle-aged man said, "Tonight, my lady had a nightmare. A woman with disheveled hair holding a little girl by the hand stood outside the window staring at her. Blood flowed from all seven orifices, and her face was deathly pale. At first, we thought it was just a dream."
"But after waking, my lady would drift between lucidity and confusion. She’d suddenly spike a fever, then it would vanish. She would cry, then laugh, and kept saying someone was in the room watching her.
"We invited a sorcerer to perform an exorcism. At first, she calmed down, but moments later, that sorcerer was found dead! His face was as pale as death, and blood was streaming from his seven orifices! And his expression was frozen in sheer terror, as if he had seen something unspeakable."
"When I heard from Meng Hai’s group that Daoist Master Li is a high Daoist master of the Central Plains, I came especially to ask you to expel the spirit and capture the ghost, to save my lady’s life!"
When the middle-aged man finished, Meng Hai and the others finally understood the full story, and their expressions grew strange. There was fear in their eyes.
This Han young lady had encountered something truly vicious. No wonder the Han family was paying so generously!
Li Yanchu gave Meng Hai’s group a glance, then turned to the middle-aged man. "I’ll take the job."
The man’s eyes lit up with delight. "Good! Excellent! Daoist Master Li, you’re truly a man of real skill. Is there anything you need prepared?"
Hearing that a fellow exorcist had died horribly, yet this Daoist Master Li still dared to take on the task, he must truly have deep cultivation skills. So Meng Hai and the others hadn’t been exaggerating.
