"Don't get flustered. Let me first see what exactly is going on!"
Zhuang Bufan's expression was also very serious. He wasn't the kind of deceitful charlatan; he actually knew some genuine things, but it was just a few tricks that he could repeat like Cheng Yaojin's three-axe moves, and once used up, he had no more solutions.
The bizarre scene before him was something he had never encountered before!
"Ahhhh! My teeth are so itchy! I want to bite someone! I really want to bite someone! Ahhhh!"
Liu Min, who was standing nearby, suddenly let out a scream, then became incredibly violent, scaring Zhou Wei and the others who immediately stood behind Zhuang Bufan.
Zhou Wei: "Master Zhuang, hurry and think of a way."
Zhuang Bufan's face remained serious: "No rush! Let me take a careful look first!"
Zhou Wei suddenly recalled the method Li Chuan had used earlier and immediately shouted, "Quick! Black dog blood! Bring all the black dogs you can find! Let Ruolan go find Li Chuan and invite Mr. Li back!"
"Yes, yes, black dog blood!"
Zhuang Bufan's eyes lit up: "I was just about to mention that. As expected, Director Zhou is knowledgeable and experienced. Right, get black dog blood from a virgin dog, as its energy is purest, Yang Qi intact, able to suppress evil! Let me draw some talismans with black dog blood, then Zhou Village can return to its normal state!"
Meanwhile, Wang Qiuyue called Zhou Ruolan, explaining the situation in hopes she could quickly find Li Chuan.
However, after several calls, Zhou Ruolan found Li Chuan's phone was turned off, which made her very anxious.
Li Chuan had turned off his phone to enjoy a private world with Chen Lu, and Chen Lu's phone was also off, so Zhou Ruolan couldn't contact either of them at all.
Wang Qiuyue, after receiving this message, shared the news with Zhou Wei, feeling quite anxious.
"Madam, don't worry, with me here, the situation isn't too grave."
Zhuang Bufan said softly with a slight smile to comfort them.
Soon, the Zhou family's butler came running with a large bowl of fresh black dog blood. Zhuang Bufan then, without further ado, took out talisman paper and a wolf brush from his pocket and began drawing talismans!
"Once I finish drawing, paste these talismans on their backs. It will dispel these evil spirits quickly!"
Actually, it didn't matter whether Zhuang Bufan drew the talismans or not, because his talismans were useless. Simply splashing the black dog blood on them would suffice.
However, this black dog blood was not as effective as the blood from Li Chuan, only able to suppress temporarily.
Once the talismans were placed on the backs of the zombified Zhou family members, they quickly returned to normal, the crimson color in their eyes fading away.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the Zhou family was filled with admiration!
"Master Zhuang is truly impressive! Such techniques are like those of an Immortal!" Liu Xia began to fawn earnestly. Her condition earlier was abysmal, as if controlled by an invisible force, seeing illusions, with countless evil spirits grasping at her, and she felt she might turn into an evil spirit herself, desiring human blood, flesh. It was terrifying!
Those Zhou family members who were saved by Zhuang Bufan also hurried to express their gratitude.
Zhuang Bufan turned the remaining black dog blood into talismans, drawing forty-nine in total, and handed them to Zhou Wei: "Director Zhou, keep these talismans on hand. If faced with danger, just use one, and evil spirits won't dare approach!"
"Much obliged, Master Zhuang!"
After this operation, Zhou Wei began to believe in Zhuang Bufan, as he did draw talismans and help resolve the crisis.
"Luckily we had Master Zhuang, otherwise I would have become a zombie!"
"Young Master Han is the real deal! If he could become a son-in-law of the Zhou family, that would truly be a blessing for us!" Liu Xia seemed to be bribed by Han De and seized every chance to praise him.
Only Zhou Wei and Old Master Zhou's expressions remained somewhat serious.
After returning to the living room, Old Master Zhou motioned for Zhou Ruolan to continue contacting Li Chuan.
Having received the task, Zhou Ruolan could only take out her phone and dial Li Chuan's number again.
Fortunately, this time, the call got through!
Li Chuan, having just finished his cultivation, received Zhou Ruolan's call.
"What? Such a thing happened?" Li Chuan frowned. It was obvious the person who cast the spell was seeking revenge after he broke it!
In that case, the caster must also be in the provincial capital!
"Don't worry, I'll be right over."
Li Chuan glanced back at Chen Lu, who was still asleep. Xiaolu had exhausted her strength earlier and was sleeping soundly.
Given this, Li Chuan didn't have the heart to wake her and left a note before leaving the hotel.
By this time, it was already three in the morning, with few vehicles on the street, making it hard to catch a ride.
While Li Chuan was downstairs waiting for a ride-hailing service, chaos erupted again at the Zhou family!
Those who had previously turned into zombies but were suppressed by black dog blood began relapsing just twenty minutes later!
With no other choice, Zhou Wei could only take out the previously drawn talismans and reapply them on these "zombies'" backs.
However, since the black dog blood was the effective component, it dried quickly once drawn on talisman paper, significantly reducing its effect. The second round of talismans only calmed them down, but their eyes remained bloodshot, which was hair-raising!
"Master Zhuang, what now? Didn't you say your talismans were effective?"
"Yes, Master Zhuang, I don't want to be eaten!"
"Master Zhuang, are you capable or not? If not, we'd better bring that handsome guy back!"
The people inside the Zhou family were buzzing with discussion.
As the situation developed, many began to doubt Zhuang Bufan's capabilities.
What was initially touted as a powerful solution with a single talisman resulted in needing four or five with no real effect!
The black dogs in Zhou Family Manor all had been drained for blood; further bleeding would risk their lives!
Zhuang Bufan was also sweating profusely. Previously, he would only read Feng Shui or perform rituals, but never had he encountered something this absurd.
Now facing such a cursed situation, he had exhausted his bag of tricks, leaving him helpless.
Yet despite this, he continued to assert, "Is there no more black dog blood? Get some more; I've got a particularly powerful talisman!"
Hearing this, Zhou Wei's expression sank. If he had a powerful talisman, why hadn't he taken it out earlier? Clearly, he was bluffing!
"Hold on!"
Zhou Wei spoke coldly, "Master Zhuang, are your talismans ineffective?"
Hearing this, Zhuang Bufan's heart panicked, but he maintained a facade of composure: "Director Zhou, you saw just now, my talismans worked! But these evil spirits are too strong! I need more black dog blood! You don't want to watch your clansmen go mad and turn into zombies, do you?"
"Can you really guarantee your talismans are effective?" Zhou Wei's gaze turned sharp. "Could it be the black dog blood that works and your ghost talismans are just a facade?"
