"When the crow moon scales the sky, a hundred ghosts stroll through the night, swiftly heed my command."
Wakun stood on the magic altar, stomped his foot thrice and initiated the Yu Step, his thumbs bending inwards as he clamped a talisman between his palms, shouting loudly.
"In the world of mortals, a trillion ghosts exist; they are farther from gods and closer to demons. The world's malevolence is unfathomable. Now I recite their true names, making them known to all. To know a ghost's name keeps evil at bay; to call it thrice will see them slain, be they celestial demons or earthly fiends. Each ghost has its name, know this well, thrice you call, and to you, they shall hearken." After Wakun finished chanting the spell, he first burned the talisman to ash in a bowl, then cleansed it with Yin-Yang water. Once the talisman's ashes cleared, he handed the water to Guan Guoqiang, saying, "You and the girl must drink this bowl of talisman water, half for each of you."
"Yes, Master."
