Chen Shouyi is an orthodox exorcist, but no one believes in evil these days, so he has to make a living by telling fortunes at night markets.
"Marriage and work can all count, no money is allowed!"
When the voluptuous woman whose perfume stung her nose approached, he didn't even raise his eyelids——
Thousand-year-old fox demon, the kind that possesses living people and absorbs yang energy.
"Little handsome boy, can you do the math for your sister?"
Chen Shou slowly pinched his fingers and curled his lips: Have you always dreamed of eating raw meat recently?
The woman trembled.
Before he finished speaking, the wind suddenly rose in the long street, and the street lamps crackled and exploded.
The woman's entire face was distorted and deformed, her facial features melted into a white fox face, and a hoarse, strange smile rolled out of her throat: You stinky fortune teller... Are you tired of living?
Black energy spurted out from her seven orifices, turning into six furry giant tails that strangled down from the air.
Chen Shouyi stood still and didn't move.
He lowered his eyes, made a seal with his hands on his chest, and opened his thin lips lightly - as if he was reciting a nursery rhyme before going to bed:
"The fire in the south, the cold in the north, the east-west wind split three thousand sections."
"Flesh and blood are the locks, and the bones are the bars. Evil spirits cannot cross this shore."
When the six fox tails were three feet above his head, they suddenly broke inch by inch, as if they had hit an invisible glass wall.
"Thunder in the veins, flames in the bowels, burn away all false thoughts and clear the face."
"Tonight I set a boundary here - 'retreat'."
As the last syllable fell, the fox demon let out a scream that pierced the eardrums. The black smoke all over his body was forcibly torn out from the woman's seven orifices, and twisted and struggled in the air for three seconds——
They scattered into sparks all over the sky and were annihilated in the night wind.
The woman fell softly, and Chen Shouyi stretched out his hand to support her.
The street lights came back on, as if nothing had happened.
He looked down at the unconscious woman in his arms and sighed:
"You have to pay more for this order..."
