Since joining the Daoist path, I've usually carried a couple of talismans for protection when I go out.
At this moment, I pulled out a "Town Evil Talisman" and lunged at the female lead.
My plan was to use the "Town Evil Talisman" to expel the female ghost from the female lead's body.
This female ghost had been confined in this shopping mall cinema for five years.
She clearly hadn't seen much of the world.
She had no idea how potent my talismans were.
Seeing me flick a talisman her way, she didn't dodge at all.
Instead, she let out a howl and lunged at me.
As a result, my talisman landed on the female lead's forehead with a "snap."
The moment the talisman touched the female lead's forehead, her entire body trembled.
Clearly affected by the talisman's power, her body stiffened for a moment.
Without hesitation, I formed a hand seal.
Then, I pointed forward:
"Hurry as the law dictates,敕!"
A talismanic command erupted from the yellow paper.
"Boom!"
With a bang, the talisman's power surged.
The female ghost was instantly repelled from the female lead's back.
The female lead in front of me also rolled her eyes and began to fall.
Instinctively, I caught her.
Seeing the female ghost, who had been expelled from the body, glaring at me venomously, I prepared to destroy her immediately.
"Old Mo, give me a hand!"
With that said, I handed the woman over to Old Mo.
Then I charged towards the female ghost.
The female ghost's face was ferocious, with a green complexion and fangs.
With a roar, she also lunged at me.
Dark energy surged all over her, and malevolent energy vibrated.
However, her cultivation wasn't high.
She was merely at the level of an ordinary White-Robed Ghost.
Although she possessed malevolent energy, it was only the most rudimentary kind.
As for me, I was at the peak of the Qi Accumulation realm.
Even without any magical artifacts in hand, dealing with such a fierce ghost would be effortless.
"You court death!"
I snorted coldly and kicked out.
The female ghost had no way to resist and was sent flying by my kick.
She rolled directly to the front row.
With a few flips, I pursued her.
I completely ignored the gazes of the surrounding audience and the other spirits.
For a fierce ghost, there was only one word: "Kill."
If I didn't kill her, she would go on to harm others.
The female ghost couldn't withstand my continuous attacks.
Within a few rounds, she was reduced to whimpering and howling, completely unable to fight back.
Everyone around was stunned by this scene.
Because, in their eyes.
I was the only one standing there, flailing my arms at empty air.
Seeing that I could handle it alone, Old Mo chuckled and watched the show.
Just as I was about to subdue the female ghost.
The female ghost suddenly darted backward, lunging towards Li Shiyao in the corner.
This posture clearly indicated her intention to possess Li Shiyao.
Seeing this, my heart tightened.
I shouted:
"Shiyao, use the talisman to protect your chest."
My sudden shout made Li Shiyao even more nervous.
Although she didn't know why, she still held the talisman in her hand and blocked her chest.
As a result, the female ghost, by sheer chance, plunged headfirst onto the talisman.
The talisman light flickered.
With a "bang," it directly sent the female ghost flying back.
Seeing the female ghost sent flying back.
I showed no mercy, using a flying knee to pin her to the ground.
With my other hand, I swiftly produced the killing talisman, the "Yin-Yang Four Spirits Breaker Talisman."
I brought the talisman down on the struggling, fanged female ghost on the ground.
My left hand also quickly formed a hand seal into a sword finger, and I loudly chanted:
"Spirit talisman repels evil, hurry as the law dictates, break!"
The talisman shimmered.
With a talismanic explosion.
The female ghost pinned to the ground instantly dissipated, her soul scattered.
All that remained on the ground was a black, human-shaped imprint, as if scorched by fire.
Seeing this, I let out a sigh of relief.
The fierce ghost had been dealt with.
The spirits filling the room suddenly erupted into joyous cheers:
"Ah! The wicked woman is dead, she's finally dead."
"We are free, we are free!"
"No more suffering at her hands!"
"Daoist Master, you are mighty!"
"..."
The spirits chattered incessantly, cheering.
Their words, however, made me feel a bit embarrassed.
But the living people in the screening hall were mostly struggling to comprehend, staring at me in disbelief.
Especially when I performed the two talismans and when the human-shaped imprint appeared on the ground, they seemed utterly bewildered.
The director, in particular.
His eyes widened in shock, and he approached me with trepidation.
Looking at the scorched mark on the ground, he said with a hint of fear:
"You, you're a Daoist priest?"
I looked at the director and didn't reply immediately.
Li Shiyao, however, ran over:
"Director Zhang, this is my friend, he's a Daoist priest."
Hearing Li Shiyao speak, I nodded slightly:
"This cinema is unclean. That woman just now was possessed by a ghost.
She has now been completely annihilated. You should all leave this place!
This room is still not clean."
I spoke calmly.
At this stage, there was no point in hiding anything.
Director Zhang already believed in such things, otherwise he wouldn't have filmed a movie with this theme.
What he wanted to convey, besides romantic love and life and death, was also karma and retribution.
At this moment, he also gasped.
He looked at the empty screening hall and felt a chill.
Coupled with the strange occurrences in the hall since the beginning of the screening, he was indeed a little scared.
"Well, well, thank you, thank you Daoist Master today."
After speaking, he turned to the remaining audience and said:
"Everyone, thank you for coming today!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the autograph session afterward is temporarily canceled. My apologies, my apologies!"
With that, he gathered his own people, preparing to escort the female lead and the injured to the hospital first.
The other audience members had witnessed everything.
Although it was eerie, they also found it strange.
Combined with the dim environment of the screening hall, the constant chill had already made them quite nervous, developing a sense of repulsion towards the hall.
Upon hearing this, they all hurried towards the exit.
I also motioned for Li Shiyao to leave first.
Li Shiyao paused:
"What about you?"
I glanced at the spirits:
"I still need to see some others off. I'll be out in a bit."
"Then, that's fine!"
With that, Li Shiyao also left the screening hall.
Here, only I, Old Mo, the little fox, and these over a hundred solitary souls, trapped in the screening hall for five years, remained.
