I followed Sister Xu and came to another counter. Sister Xu picked out a peach wood sword with a yellow copper coin inlaid from this counter and handed it to me:

"Little handsome guy, this peach wood sword is made of Chinese Fu peach trees that are more than 30 years old. The copper coins inlaid on it are a large sample of Guangxu Tongbao in the Qing Dynasty. Peach wood and copper coins have the function of exorcising evil spirits and repelling ghosts. We combined it together to create this peach wood sword called "fallen leaves".

After listening to what Sister Xu said to me, I was a little moved by this peach wood sword:

"Sister Xu, how much does this peach wood sword cost?"

Sister Xu stretched out a slender white index finger at me and shook it gently on both sides:

"Any peach wood sword here can't be bought with money. If you want to obtain it, you must complete the Yin-Yang task we handed you over, or exchange it with us with something higher value."

"What kind of Yin and Yang tasks do you need to complete to get this deciduous peach wood sword?" I asked.

Sister Xu found an envelope from a drawer behind the counter and took it in her hand and said to me:

"You are lucky. This sword corresponds to a first-level and two-star Yin-Yang mission."

Hearing Sister Xu's words, I turned around and looked at my master Liu Wendao.

Liu Wendao said to me:

"I am responsible for bringing you here at the ninth day of the year, but all the choices for you will decide for yourself."

"Okay, Master." I said, turning around and asked Sister Xu:

"Sister Xu, as long as I complete this first-level and two-star Yin-Yang mission, can I take away this peach wood sword?"

I remembered what my master reminded me before, so I decided to ask clearly and make the decision.

Sister Xu nodded:

"That's right, and there are no additional conditions. If the task is completed, you can take the Taomu Sword away for free. The most important thing we pay attention to here is integrity."

"Okay, I'll take this Yin-Yang mission." I agreed.

Although I don’t have a specific understanding of the Yin and Yang tasks of the first-level and two-star stars, it should not be too difficult. Moreover, compared to when I was in Huanshui Village before, I have not only activated the Yin and Yang eyes that can see ghosts, but also learned the evil-exorcist handprint in Maoshan Coffin Ascending Technique. It should be no big problem to complete the Yin and Yang tasks of the first-level and two-star stars.

Besides, I can use this task to constantly hone and strengthen my heart.

For me, this is also an opportunity.

After receiving my affirmative answer, Sister Xu clamped the envelope with her fingers and handed it to me, and said:

"Your name is Zhang Chujiu, right? First of all, I want to explain two points to you: First, once our Yin-Yang mission takes over, we must complete it within the specified time, and we must not regret it; second, you can only complete this task yourself, and others cannot help."

"Understand, no problem," I said.

"Okay, then you press your handprint on this letter, and this Yin-Yang task will be officially handed over to you to complete independently." Sister Xu said as she asked the girl in the store to send her ink paste.

Without hesitation, I pressed my red handprint on the envelope.

After getting all this done, Sister Xu took out a piece of paper from the envelope and handed it to me:

"This says the specific details of the task you need to complete. The time is three days. If you fail to complete the task within three days, you will receive very severe punishment from us."

"What kind of punishment?" I asked.

Sister Xu glanced at the master Liu Wendao who was standing behind me and said to me:

"If someone is willing to satisfy your three wishes, but the condition is that you have to give your soul, what kind of wishes will you make?"

Facing Sister Xu's answer to the question, I thought about it and said:

"The first wish is to spend endless money; the second wish is to not take away my soul; as for the third wish...that is three more wishes!"

Sister Xu was speechless after hearing this:

"You really have it. OK, boy, I'll wait for your good news."

To my confusion, Sister Xu never said what the severe punishment for failing to complete the task was.

So I left with doubts. As soon as I walked out of the store, I asked Liu Wendao beside me:

"Master, what kind of punishment is the severe punishment that Sister Xu told me?"

Liu Wendao looked at me and said:

"I don't know the specific details, but all the tasks that your master will complete here are within the specified time. I believe you can do the same. Don't worry, Sister Xu is also considered our own people."

I nodded and followed my master out of the antique city.

Sitting in the car, I opened the note that Sister Xu gave me, and two lines of beautiful small words were written in black pen on it:

"On Halloween night, first-level two-star Yin-Yang mission: Go to Anlai Dinosaur Park, participate in the Tuesday night of Halloween night, find the real unjust ghost from it, and solve it within three days, and the task is completed! (There are ghosts on Halloween night, so it is not easy to find a real ghost. If you can't tell the difference with your eyes, just look for it with your heart."

Tuesday night, tomorrow is Tuesday.

"Qijiu, how do you think this task is? Is it difficult?" Liu Wendao, who was driving, asked me.

"It shouldn't be too difficult. After all, it's just a first-level two-star mission, but I won't underestimate the enemy, I will definitely do my best." I said.

Liu Wendao nodded:

"It's right for you to have this kind of awareness. When we are in our business, we must always be highly vigilant when facing any ghost evil spirits. If we make mistakes in other work, we can get the chance to make the mistakes. If we make mistakes, we may never have the chance to make the mistakes."

I nodded and asked:

"By the way, Master, what is the identity of the boss of the antique shop?"

Liu Wendao glanced at me and said:

"Don't think about finding out about her. I've been dealing with her for so many years, and I don't even know where she lives, let alone what her identity is."

The words of Master Liu Wendao made me even more curious about the identity of the boss’s wife, Sister Xu.

Who is she who has so many evil-exorcist tools, and where did she receive the Yin and Yang tasks in her hands?

I kept thinking in my mind, and before I knew it, we returned to Gugu County.

The master took me to the old Qin shop and left. When he walked into the coffin shop, I saw Old Qin leaning against the counter and dozing off.

"Old Qin, please go back to your room to rest. It's dark soon, I'll clean it up." I walked over and looked at Old Qin and said.

After hearing this, Old Qin nodded, got up and walked into the room. After a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at me and said:

"By the ninth day of the year, you will hang the Five Emperors money I just made on the table later on the eaves outside the store. If it is sturdy, don't be blown away by the wind."

"I understand, Mr. Qin, go to bed for a while." I nodded and agreed.

The Five Emperors’ money can drive away evil spirits and bring good luck to people.

When Mr. Qin returned to the room to rest, I first moved the wreath and paper man outside the store, and then found the string of Five Emperors coins strung with red rope on the table, moved a chair, stepped on it and hung the Five Emperors coins on the eaves outside the store.

After hanging up the Five Emperors’ money, I saw that it was getting late and was about to close the store, but my phone rang at this time. I took it out and saw that it was my classmate Guo Wenjuan who called me.
