Chapter 148: The Method
Hence, the person who enjoyed the meal the most was Shi Yi.
It was early winter today, and the sky was getting darker.
Night had just arrived and twilight had already descended.
After sending Chu Sihan and the rest off, the Liang family had already laid out the items.
Lu Ran asked curiously when Aunt Yu called her over.
When he heard that she wanted to perform a ritual, Lu Ran was stunned. “A ritual?”
When did his sister learn such trickery?
“Yes!” Aunt Yu smiled and explained. “It was all thanks to Lu Sheng that Yuan Zi recovered today after running into evil. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know what would have happened.”
“Running into evil?”
Lu Ran rubbed his temples and asked Lu Sheng, “Why do you know these?”
“It’s all because a monk came recently and claimed that our house is haunted. He even brought a group of people here and said that he wanted to help us catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.”
Lu Sheng continued without changing her expression. “I happened to meet an expert when I was at Lin Jiang Mansion. I learned a few exorcism spells from him. He saw that I was talented and smart, so he directly accepted me as his disciple and even taught me his skills.”
Lu Ran frowned. “How can you believe such a show-off? You even want to acknowledge him as your master?”
Had his sister become smarter or more foolish?
“It’s not a lie.”
Aunt Yu defended Lu Sheng. “Yuan Zi cried and kicked up a fuss today, and he kept convulsing. It was Lu Sheng who pasted the talisman on him that he felt better.”
When Lu Ran heard that, he glanced at Lu Sheng and saw her nod her head seriously.
He did not believe in ghosts.
However, his sister’s expression and Aunt Yu’s words did not seem like they were joking.
Could these things really exist in this world?
“Then… I’ll go with you.”
He had to personally see it for himself to know if it was true.
Lu Sheng did not stop him.
Lu Jiang and Lu Xin also wanted to follow them, but were stopped by her.
“Children can’t go over. Aunt Liang will bring Little Yuan Zi over to play with you later.”
When the duo heard that, they could only compromise aggrievedly.
After Lu Sheng went over, she let Mdm Chen carry Liang Yuan to her house and let Aunt Yu and Liang Ping stay.
Lu Sheng lifted her head and looked at the sky. There was still some light in the sky.
Standing in front of the offering table, she lit two candles and bowed thrice before inserting them down on the incense burner.
Lu Ran crossed his arms over his chest and sat on a pile of wood. He watched indifferently.
Lu Sheng took three more incense sticks, bowed thrice in the same way, and stuck them on the incense burner.
He raised an eyebrow. Lu Sheng took out a few talismans from nowhere and lit them with the candle on the table. Then, she closed her eyes and kept mumbling.
It seemed like she was chanting something.
Lu Ran stood up and walked to Aunt Yu. He asked curiously, “Aunt Yu, what is this for?”
“To summon a soul,” Aunt Yu replied softly. “Ah Sheng said that she was afraid that the ghost would continue to cling to Yuan Zi, so she wanted to summon it and see what it wanted to do.”
“Oh.”
Lu Ran agreed disapprovingly and his gaze landed on Lu Sheng again.
Then, she took out a few paper treasures and placed them on the table.
After a while, a chilly wind blew and everyone present could not help but shiver.
At that moment, Lu Sheng suddenly shouted, “Uncle Liang!”
Aunt Yu and Liang Ping were stunned and looked at her in confusion.
She asked, “Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?”
Lu Ran listened attentively. However, to him, Lu Sheng was the only one nodding her head before muttering to herself.
