Chapter 439: This Life and the Next Life
Xie Pinggang had been staring at Mo Chusheng the whole time.
This senior aunty of Xie Qiao was not young, but her figure and hair looked very young. Moreover, her voice… was somewhat familiar.
When Master Qiu heard Xie Qiao’s words, he stood up immediately, “Master, can you be more clear?”
“So this is what happened. After Lady Qiu hanged herself, she’s unwilling to accept her death and refused to reincarnate. If a ghoul often lingered around her son, it would be bad for the child, so she asked this penniless master…”
Xie Qiao explained the situation in detail.
She also explained the request about the ten years.
Master Qiu’s pair of old hands, which were like withered twigs, were unable to lift the teacup.
They were trembling non-stop.
His eyes were faintly red.
“Master, you mean that my daughter… wants to protect Yun’er for ten years… T-Then what kind of damage will these ten years do to her? Will she be unable to reincarnate in the future?” Master Qiu asked with a trembling voice.
This matter was inconceivable.
However, he knew that there were many experts in this world.
Moreover, this matter concerned his daughter. Even if it was fake, he would rather be deceived.
“This penniless master can get a dharma instrument and keep her inside. This dharma instrument can last for ten years. After ten years, you can send this to a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple to reincarnate her. If she no longer has any obsession, then she can naturally leave,” Xie Qiao smiled, “However, regardless of whether a human or a soul, I’m afraid everyone would be greedy. Since she’s asking for ten years now, ten years later, she might want another ten years.
“If her obsession is still there, then she can only be a wandering soul. Of course, if Zhou Yunkai’s thoughts are evil in the future and he has viciousness in his heart, it would also affect this dharma instrument. Even if your daughter really has a next life, her fate may not be too great,” Xie Qiao added.
If she were to be tainted with a human life, then the soul in the jade would also have to bear this karma. That would be even worse.
Xie Qiao stayed honest and told Master Qiu about this matter in detail.
Master Qiu had no choice but to believe it.
His heart was in pain.
That was his daughter. In terms of selfishness, he naturally hoped that his daughter would reincarnate now and live a good life in the next life.
However… He knew his daughter’s temper.
Master Qiu was silent for a long time.
“She said that she would repay me and her mother for raising her in the next life?” Master Qiu sighed and asked.
Xie Qiao nodded, “That’s right.”
“She has already lived such a chaotic life in this life, what’s there to think about in the next life?” Master Qiu forced a smile, “I can’t stop her love for her son even if I wanted to. Since that’s the case, let her be.
“It’s just that…” Master Qiu’s voice changed as he raised his head to look at Xie Qiao.
His gaze trembled slightly, but it was filled with sincerity as he said to her, “Master, I don’t know how much my daughter will have to pay to stay by his side for ten years. As her father, I hope that I can bear some of the burden for her. Back then, the marriage with the Zhou family… was decided by me. I’m the one who let her down. Do you think you can let me suffer on behalf of my daughter?”
Would it harm good karma or reduce her good fortune? Would it be possible?
“This is her own matter. How can you take her place?” Xie Qiao was very calm. She could not help but want to cover her mouth and cough twice. However, she was afraid that Xie Pinggang would expose her disguise, so she held it in. She held her breath for a moment and relaxed a little, then, she said, “You can do some good deeds. It will be good enough to recover the good karma that you have lost.”
Master Qiu was a good person to begin with.
Upon hearing that, he immediately nodded, “That’s great. From now on, on the first and fifteenth day of the month, I will go to the Taoist temple to offer incense with my wife…”
