Seeing the young lady so generous with her offerings.
Tong Xuan was somewhat moved.
Perhaps accustomed to grand occasions, his expression remained unchanged.
He said, "Benefactor, it is said that sincerity leads to efficacy, which shows that the lady is also a devout person. This calamity is fierce, incense is only part of it, but more importantly, it's the purification method of the old Daoist."
The young lady clearly didn't understand such scholarly words.
She said, "I humbly ask the Daoist for your guidance."
Tong Xuan extended his hand, pointing to a wooden bath barrel in the corner of the room, above which a pipe was slowly dripping water.
Tong Xuan said, "The lady is afflicted by this calamity, haunted by malevolent spirits. To dispel the spirit, there are two steps, the first being the cleansing with holy water."
The young lady seemed to understand.
She stood up, walked to the barrel, and glanced inside.
