Chapter 174: Karma
Bai Susu was dressed in a scholarly outfit and stood beside Chang Jin, and naturally felt the fluctuations of the spiritual energy in her lover's body. She didn't know that the disaster in front of her was also related to Chang Jin, so she just felt a little indignant when she heard about this, and quietly shook the other party's hand, wanting to give him some comfort.
"Oh, I regret not being the first." Feeling the warmth brought by Bai Susu's jade hands, Chang Jin sighed.
"What's wrong?" Bai Susu asked in surprise when he heard something in his words.
"Then Li Shunchang, my brother Qingyuan and I knew each other. He asked someone to borrow money to redeem Huo Wanniang. I think he was a frivolous person and he didn't plan to borrow..." Chang Jin whispered and told what happened in Huyang Mansion, and he regretted it in his words.
"Yes, if I had known this, I wouldn't have borrowed money if I had beaten to death." Wang Qinian sighed while slapped.
"It's all you two. If you didn't know the knowledge of others, how could a woman like Huo Wanniang be unable to bear the humiliation and jump into the river to die?" Abi's eyes over there were red and he shouted loudly.
Judging from her appearance, she was very sad.
Before Chang Jin and the others responded, Abi said again: "There is no good thing for men, they are all people with a cold and weak temperament."
Chang Jin is hard to tell now. He knows what he says now, and Abi can't even listen.
Wang Qinian said embarrassedly: "We are not blamed on this matter. Who knew that Li Shunchang would do this? At that time, he thought that it would be a good thing to achieve a marriage."
"Hmph" Abi glared at him and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Bai Susu.
"Okay, it's really not their fault. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen if you know someone or not.
At this time, the river was filled with people, and they were standing in a remote place, so no one noticed the abnormal movement here.
In the cabin of the Sun family's large ship, a middle-aged man with a white and dark hair and a Taoist robe sat upright in the upper seat. There was also a white-haired old man next to him. The old man looked haggard and his eyes were deep, and the sorrow in it could not be covered.
The old man was named Sun Deyuan, who was the owner of the Sun family. Sun Fu, the eldest son of the Sun family, was his son. Sun Deyuan had a difficult offender. When he was young, he had two children, but because of various accidents, he was unable to save him in the end. Sun Fu was only found in his forties, and he was considered a child in his old age, so he loved him very much.
Usually, Sun Fu is at home and needs to be in trouble, so he is quite arrogant and eventually causes trouble and is plagued by evil spirits.
When Sun Deyuan learned that his son had an accident, he hurried to the place and sent someone to Dazhen Temple of Wutong Mountain, more than ten miles away from the county town, to invite Taoist priests to do the trick.
The Taoist priest is the one sitting upright in the upper position, known as the Ziyang Taoist, and is the master of the Dazhen Temple. He is the disciple who practices on the outside deck.
The Dazhen Temple was built four or five years ago. Its reputation was not obvious at that time and almost no one knew it.
Until one time, there was a monster in the Qian family who was a pawnshop in the city, and Mr. Qian found many Taoist priests in You Fang but did not get rid of them.
Just when he was worried, Ziyang Zhenren came to the door and said that he could eliminate demons.
Mr. Qian kept trying and let him stay.
After visiting Qian’s house, Taoist Ziyang went to Qian’s house to check, he didn’t say much, but just ordered: “When I do the method of subduing demons tonight, you must close the doors and windows, and do not go out or make noise.”
The Qian family promised to stay in the door and stay away. At midnight, they could only hear howling fighting outside the house.
Everyone was worried all night, so the next morning, they opened the door and saw blood in the courtyard, revealing the heads of five or six white badgers, as big as tea bowls and as small as tea cups.
The Taoist Ziyang stood in the courtyard with a sword in his hand, bowed and smiled at everyone, "I have been entrusted by the Qian Gong, and the monster has been wiped out." Since then, no strange thing has happened to the Qian family.
After this incident, the people of the county town realized that the Ziyang Taoist was powerful and went to Dazhen Temple to burn incense and worship.
This time when his son had an accident, the first thing Sun Deyuan thought of was Taoist Ziyang. However, when Ziyang came here, he did not do it himself, and only let a few apprentices do it at the bow of the boat.
I wonder what the magical powers of those disciples are? Can they get rid of the evil water ghosts?
"Master, please use tea." Although Sun Deyuan was worried on his face, he was impeccable in etiquette.
Taoist Ziyang picked up the teacup and took a sip, then chuckled and said, "Mr. Sun, don't worry, that woman died of drowning, and there is a great resentment in her soul, so she can cause trouble and harm Young Master Sun. As long as her resentment is resolved, Young Master Sun's body will naturally recover as before."
Huo Wanniang drowned and died, and she was indeed very resentful. It was just that Sun Fu was lying in bed. The illness was not caused by ghosts, but because of fright. After a period of cultivation, her body could recover as before.
Taoist Ziyang was afraid that Sun Deyuan would no longer ask himself to destroy ghosts after he learned the truth, so he said half true and half false.
"Thank you, Taoist priest" Sun Deyuan was guaranteed, but his eyebrows and eyes were still not let go.
Seeing this, Taoist Ziyang asked in confusion: "Master Sun, what else do you have to do? Tell me out together. I will help you solve your problems."
"Master Taoist, isn't it that I don't believe your disciples. Can the Taoist Taoist Taoist not take action personally?" Sun Deyuan paused and finally expressed his thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Ziyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Sun, my disciples just set up formations to sense the location of the water ghost. I will take action to save the ghosts by myself at night."
Before going down the mountain, he had already found out that no one had seen ghosts appear during the day, but he heard crying at night. It was obvious that the water ghost was born and had low strength and could not show his presence in the daytime.
At this moment, he asked his disciples to do things in front of others on the deck and showed his supernatural powers, just to make a live show, in order to attract believers and gain incense luck.
I saw the magic weapons in the hands of several Taoists on the deck dancing repeatedly, and the person who led the person chanted the magic spell. A large cloud of smoke appeared above the water surface, and there was also flashing lightning.
As the people watched, he suddenly roared, and then pointed like a sword, pointing to the water.
"Tun" a lightning rushes into the water, blowing out a whirlpool as big as a millstone, and then several carp more than two feet long roll over their belly and putting it out of the water.
“So awesome”
"After all, he is a Taoist from the Great Truth Temple, and his supernatural powers are great."
The people on the boats around him did not pass the law, but when they saw such a scene, they still praised him.
"This way, we can eliminate ghosts...what are they doing?" After seeing the Taoist on the boat, A Bi forgot to be sad and asked in confusion.
"This person is fooling people who do not know magical powers, and most of them are for incense and thoughts." Chang Jin once saw similar scenes during the mansion examination, and he was right away.
He had previously used his spiritual sense to sense that the realm of several Taoist people on the deck was just a human immortal turn. The previous thunder was activated by a talisman. However, the Taoist hiding in the cabin had some magical powers, and it was already a human immortal turn three times.
It seems that these people should be casual cultivators. If they were really from several great Taoist temples, they would not bother to gain believers through this method.
As they were talking, there was another movement on the ship. In the eyes of everyone, several servants helped out two dying patients.
One of them is Li Shunchang. He hasn't seen him in just a few days. He has completely changed his appearance, his face is yellow and his eyes are collapsed. Looking at the luck above his head, he is covered by a gray and black aura. It is obvious that the oil is gone and the lamp is dry, not far from death.
When he was in Huyang Prefecture, Chang Jin once observed that Huo Wanniang had a red fortune and was very prosperous. If Li Shunchang could treat him well, it would be okay to keep him safe for the rest of his life.
Now that Li Shunchang has fallen into this field, he can only say that he is guilty of his own sins and will never survive.
"It's the eldest son of the Sun family... How did he become like this..." Seeing the person supported by the servants, a familiar commoner immediately shouted.
"It must be entangled by ghosts, who told him to do something wrong?"
"Who is who?" someone asked again.
"He is the unlucky scholar..."
Li Shunchang was frightened that day and fell ill on the boat with Sun Fu. The Sun family was afraid that he would die and could not explain clearly, so they did not drive him away.
Now that he and Sun Fu are being helped to the deck, it is also a plan made by Ziyang Taoist. Ziyang Taoist wants to let the people nearby see their magical powers.
The people have a scale in their hearts. After hearing that Sun Fu bought someone, they all felt sorry for the woman who jumped into the river.
At this moment, seeing the two of them being helped out, they all spit out.
Taoist Ziyang's face changed when he heard the insults outside, and then he realized that he had done something wrong. If the people disliked this, it would be a bad idea.
He was about to instruct his disciples to send the person back when suddenly the wind blew on the river and all the ships around him shook violently.
The hats of the servants who supported Sun Fu and the other two were scraped off. They subconsciously let go of the supporter and reached out to grab them. As a result, the ship swayed. Li Shunchang and Sun Fu had no one to support him. They staggered and rushed out of the bow of the ship and fell into the river together.
After two thumps, it sank.
When the strong wind blew, everyone on the deck screamed in shock: "Young Master Sun has fallen into the water, save people quickly."
This shout also alarmed Mr. Sun in the cabin, and hurriedly ordered the servants to go into the water to catch people. Whoever caught his son first would give him a reward of twenty taels of silver.
With the stimulation of money, those servants who were familiar with water jumped off the big ship and groped in the river.
The Ziyang Taoist, who was immediately following, looked gloomy and his eyes flew towards the big ship beside him one by one. In the strange wind just now, he vaguely felt the fluctuations of spiritual power, and someone should have done it.
But when he released his spiritual sense, he found that there was no abnormality around him. There were only two possible situations. One was that it was indeed an accident just now, and the other was that the other party's realm was higher than himself and he was hiding his energy.
Originally, when someone was sailing on the river, the surrounding ships would spontaneously rescue him. However, at this time, everyone stood by and no one was willing to go into the water to help.
Some even bold ones shouted that this was retribution.
Mr. Sun was furious and only cared about his son's life, and did not order anyone to look for the person who shouted.
After a while of groping in the water, the two of them were finally rescued. They were already dying, but after all the troubles, they filled the river with water, rolled their eyes and didn't breathe much.
Taoist Ziyang hurriedly took out two pills he carried with him, barely saving a trace of their qi and blood.
Then he stood on the deck and shouted: "Which fellow Taoist took action just now, please show up."
The other people on the boat didn't know what the Taoist priest was shouting, and they were stunned for a moment.
