The leader bowed his head and bowed, and everyone behind him also knelt down with a roar. The leader said: "The epidemic ghost is coming. I beg you tomorrow." Hurry up and burn a dozen paper flags and a hundred wooden knives made of silver foil, so that we can wave the flags and hold the steel knives to fight the epidemic ghost to repay the people for their great kindness!"
Liao Mou! When I woke up, I was in a cold sweat. Thinking of the plague that was rampant nearby, I would rather believe that there was a plague.

A moment later, the sound of a child crying was heard again. The Taoist priest was alert. He pinched his hands and realized something was not good, so he took the mahogany sword and the talisman paper away. After a while, he broke in through the window and looked around. I saw a little ghost sucking the essence and blood of a mouse, and when I was about to turn on the talisman to control the ghost, a black figure came out of the window, and it turned out to be a female ghost in white. The Taoist priest was furious: "This is a pure place of Taoism, but you two monsters are so presumptuous! Look at me accepting you!!"

They all say that people and ghosts are separated from each other. How could this be expected?" "The Taoist priest asked and agreed to perform the ritual to save the mother and daughter.
