Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser - Chapter 460
Chapter 460: Ghost Claw, Exorcising a Malicious Ghost (2)
If it were any other day, Zhou Manqing would have known at a glance that this Daoist priest was a fake. However, when she heard the words of this Daoist priest, she still hesitated.
She naturally knew that this talisman was useful. However, not only did this Daoist priest say it was fake, he also said it was useless?
Zhou Manqing couldn’t help but think that the woman surnamed Chi might have given her an ordinary talisman on purpose. A regular Celestial Master would have exorcised that malicious ghost for her without asking so many questions!
Not only did that woman surnamed Chi watch from the sidelines, she also asked all sorts of irrelevant questions while doing official business. It was obvious that she didn’t want to help Zhou Manqing.
But Zhou Manqing’s eyes still flashed calmly as she looked at the Daoist priest in front of her and asked again, “Are you saying that this talisman is useless?”
The Daoist priest was startled by Zhou Manqing’s words. He pretended to be calm and said, “Miss Zhou, can you give me this talisman for a look?”
Zhou Manqing handed it over without thinking. The Daoist priest’s eyes flashed, and he put on an act as he said, “Actually, this talisman is real, but it’s like I said earlier: Although the talisman isn’t fake, it’s useless. It can just barely fend off that malicious ghost for a few days. Miss Zhou, if you believe me, you can try my talismans. It just so happens that I have time tonight to help you exorcise the malicious ghost!”
Zhou Manqing was very satisfied with the Daoist priest’s words and finally believed him. She also increasingly suspected that the woman surnamed Chi had ulterior motives and took her for a joke. Zhou Manqing immediately no longer wanted the increasingly black talisman in her hand, and threw it to Yu Rong to handle.
This woman surnamed Chi was waiting for Zhou Manqing to come and beg her, but Zhou Manqing refused to do so. She wanted to see her make a fool of herself. No way!
Although Yu Rong also believed that this Daoist priest was capable, she felt that since this talisman was useful, it was better to bring it along, just in case.
Yu Rong wanted to persuade Zhou Manqing, but Zhou Manqing knew what Yu Rong was going to say. She hadn’t rested well for the past few days, so she didn’t have much patience to begin with. Now, she said impatiently, “Sister Yu, I told you to throw this talisman away, so just do it. I said before, she’s not the only Celestial Master in this world. As long as you have money, what Celestial Master can’t you find? Right now, I only want Master Fang’s talismans!” With that, Zhou Manqing said to Daoist Fang, “Master Fang, how much do your talismans cost? How many do you have? I want them all!”
When Daoist Fang heard Zhou Manqing’s words, it was as if a huge pie had fallen from the sky onto his head. Daoist Fang had a look of disbelief on his face. This money… was too easy to earn. Daoist Fang was afraid that Zhou Manqing would go back on her word, and he hurriedly said, “Miss Zhou, one talisman costs 100,000. I have 30 talismans here now, which is a total of three million. These are all high-level talismans which are very useful against malicious ghosts!”
Three million was really nothing to Zhou Manqing. Without thinking, she said, “Alright, I’ll take them all!”
After saying that, she had her manager transfer the three million yuan, and told her to deal with the black talisman immediately.
Yu Rong could only take the talisman that was gradually turning black and deal with it. However, when she thought about getting rid of this talisman, she felt an inexplicable sense of unease, and felt that Manqing was too rash.
When Zhou Manqing saw that Yu Rong wasn’t speaking, she opened her mouth and said, “Sister Yu, hurry up and help me deal with that talisman. Master and I are preparing to exorcise the malicious ghost!”
After picking up three million yuan, Daoist Fang’s attitude towards Zhou Manqing was very good. He made up his mind to properly slaughter this fat sheep during the exorcism. Such fat sheep was hard to come by.
Before long, Daoist Fang expressed that he needed to do all kinds of things and to prepare a lot of ‘good stuff’ which also cost money. Zhou Manqing transferred no less than 30 million yuan to the other party.
She couldn’t help but wonder then if the other party was a swindler. She saw the Daoist priest holding a peach wood sword in front of an altar that had just been set up. There were many talismans stuck to the peach wood sword. After Daoist Fang finished chanting the incantation, the talismans that were stuck to the peach wood sword suddenly burst into flames.
Only then were Zhou Manqing’s suspicions dispelled.
