My uncle was very angry, slamming the table and cursing.
I, too, took out the bronze mirror:
"Uncle, it's this bronze mirror.
That demonic Taoist made clients come every week to perform rituals, and then he molested them."
After speaking, I handed the bronze mirror over.
My uncle didn't pay much attention at first.
But when he took the bronze mirror, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately sat up from his chair:
"This, this is a Ghost-Illuminating Replenishment Mirror?"
Hearing the word "replenishment," I revealed a slight hint of surprise.
Replenishment meant to seize the essence of others to supplement oneself.
This was to achieve the goal of strengthening oneself, improving health, and increasing magical power.
But why was "Ghost-Illuminating" added?
"Uncle, what is Ghost-Illuminating Replenishment?"
I asked in surprise.
My uncle held the mirror and nodded slightly:
"Simply put, it's a type of evil mirror.
This thing will invisibly devour the essence, spirit, and vitality of anyone who looks into it.
Even ghosts will have their Yin lifespan absorbed by the mirror surface.
Finally, the person who replenishes will take back the mirror, absorb the essence within, and replenish themselves.
I haven't seen this mirror for many years.
It's an absolute great evil artifact…"
As he spoke, my uncle had already placed the mirror face down on the coffee table, avoiding it from reflecting on anyone.
After hearing him, I also took a deep breath.
I didn't expect there to be more to this matter.
With this mirror, the Taoist at Baoguang Fengshui Hall was undoubtedly a demonic Taoist.
As I was contemplating, my uncle took out his phone and addressed a WeChat group:
"Fellow Taoists, do any of you know Baoguang Fengshui Hall? What's its background?"
I glanced over.
The WeChat group was named "Yin Gate Exchange Group."
Good heavens, my uncle actually had this WeChat group, and he hadn't invited me.
Soon, someone replied.
Looking at the avatar, I immediately recognized who it was.
Qingshan Yin Gate Boatman.
Corpse salvager Grandpa Jiang.
Because the avatar was him.
Standing on a wooden boat, wearing a straw cape and holding a pipe, he looked a bit silly.
"What's up, Brother Tang? I know this shop.
It's right next to Erqiao Kou, only opened for a month or two!"
Just as the first message finished playing, another voice message popped up.
The avatar was a rose, and I could pretty much guess who it was.
Rose Supermarket owner, Bottomless Pit Grey Family Spirit Medium Rat Elder, Shu Guifang.
Indeed, the next second, Aunt Shu's voice rang out:
"What's wrong, Daoist Tang? So angry?"
"My uncle discovered last night that the Taoist at this shop not only defrauded them of money and sex.
But also messed around with sorcery, and worse, spread the Ghost-Illuminating Replenishment Mirror.
I plan to deal with this matter and eliminate that guy."
My uncle responded again.
Soon, someone else responded, with an avatar of the Qingshan City Funeral Home:
"Uncle Tang, do you need our help?"
Listening to the voice, it was Bai Ye, the cremator at the funeral home.
"No need, we'll handle it ourselves."
My uncle replied again.
Soon, several more voices chimed in.
But I hadn't heard many of them.
They were probably discussing this matter, and providing some information.
Or asking my uncle if he needed help.
I listened quietly from the side, not interrupting.
Only after my uncle put down his phone did I ask:
"Uncle, our Qingshan City has this group? Why didn't you pull me in?"
My uncle took a sip of wine:
"It was built by Qingmianlao, who sells antiques, and it's only been a few days."
So that's why I had never heard of it before, nor seen my uncle use it.
Then, my uncle continued:
"This shop just opened, and I don't know the background of the proprietor.
But it's not a big problem.
When it gets less crowded in the evening.
We'll pay him a visit and see what kind of person he is."
Since my uncle had spoken, I naturally had no objections.
I nodded immediately.
After all, such demonic Taoists, if not eliminated, are a scourge…
Next, my uncle told me to go back to the shop and rest.
At noon, Old Mo returned after learning to swim.
When he heard about this, he came to my shop and complained a lot.
And talked about how to deal with him, and so on.
Anyway, it was all his usual catchphrases, like "Light and darkness, judgment and trial" and other chuunibyo statements.
The day passed quickly.
Until six in the afternoon, when we started to set off.
However, as we were setting off, junior sister Chen Yao arrived at Wanshou Hall.
The hospital had been very busy these past few days, and Chen Yao had been working overtime for many days.
As a result, even Yunxia Gu and the others couldn't come over.
Seeing Chen Yao arrive today was quite unexpected.
But it looked like she would be acting with us tonight.
Chen Yao saw me and called out, "Senior Brother Qin."
I nodded, acknowledging her greeting.
My uncle had changed into a Zhongshan suit.
He said to us:
"Let's go, let me see what kind of trash he is."
After saying that, he walked out of the door…
Old Mo went to drive.
The four of us then started driving towards Erqiao Kou.
Erqiao Kou was quite far from us, about an hour's drive.
By the time we arrived, the sky was already starting to get dark.
Old Mo parked the car across the street from Baoguang Fengshui Hall.
The lights were still on, and there were still people inside.
My uncle glanced at it and said:
"Get out of the car, and follow me to send that stupid dog on its way."
After speaking, my uncle opened the door and got out of the car.
The three of us followed closely behind my uncle, not making a sound.
My uncle swaggered, very arrogantly, towards Baoguang Fengshui Hall.
With my uncle leading, and our entourage.
I was genuinely afraid that the other party would be scared when we met.
