\n“Where’s the kitchen? I need to boil this,” asked Ning Shu.
Xie Weiming took Ning Shu to the kitchen. However, he was also worried that she wouldn’t know how to use the things in the kitchen and asked his servants to help.
Rather than boiling things with tap water, Ning Shu used the rootless water from the Daoist temple. Rootless water was rainwater that didn’t fall on the ground.
When the pot bubbled, Ning Shu lit a paper talisman and put its burned black ash in the pot.
When Xie Weiming saw the black poison-like mixture in the pot, his face twitched, and he asked, “What’s wrong with my son?”
“Baleful energy and Yin energy have taken root in his body. He encountered something evil,” replied Ning Shu while staring at the pot.
