Chapter 574: Still Useful
As there was too much dust on these Buddha statues, if one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that there was something wrong with their expressions.
Now that the Crown Prince had said that, everyone else focused their attention and took a look.
They actually felt… uncomfortable inside.
It was as if they were being stared at by a very gloomy person, and they had goosebumps.
“It’s exactly as Your Highness said.” Xie Qiao nodded. “I now suspect… that the feng shui master who created all of this is the same person who directed the plotting of Pang Xiyuan’s grave. However, most feng shui masters would not easily plot evil for the fear of the backlash on themselves, so there was a mastermind who bribed him. This mastermind paid a certain price in order to accomplish this matter.”
“Master Mo, according to what you said, if this feng shui master wants to cast bad luck upon the person, then, won’t that person be unable to escape?” Elder Li asked somewhat anxiously.
“It won’t go that far. It still depends on whether the fortune is enough. For instance, your family… When you were an imperial tutor, you probably did a lot of good deeds. You were upright, so it was hard for the evil energy to invade. Although some of your descendants were harmed, their roots weren’t broken. Look at the Pang family again, where are they now?” Xie Qiao added.
These words did not console the Li family.
Although they were glad that their descendants were not broken, they really could not be happy.
It was too scary.
“Also, the accident at the grave and the construction of Pang Xiyuan’s grave happened a few years ago. Even if the feng shui master found someone else to bear the karma, it would still take a lot of energy to set up such an evil formation. Therefore, he could not have done it too frequently. Otherwise, even if someone were to bear the responsibility, his own fate would be greatly affected,” Xie Qiao added.
This kind of immoral person was bound to suffer and have bad luck in their lives.
Elder Li’s entire body trembled. It was unknown whether he was angry or sad.
Xie Qiao put the wooden box containing the bones into her bamboo basket. There was a talisman stuck on it.
Looking at the sky, Xie Qiao said, “It’s already dark. It’s bad to stay here.”
“Master, are you saying that there will be something evil at night? Then… is it possible that the ghouls are behind the fire murder?” Xie Pinggang quickly asked.
Xie Qiao shook her head. “Even if there are ghouls, the mastermind must be a living person. If the ghouls kill people, they might die suddenly, from sickness, or even from an accident. The possibility of committing suicide from hanging is low.
“All I can say is that this place has such a strong evil energy. If the person who came in harbored resentment, it would be very easy for the dark energy to use them to commit murder. As for the fire murder case… This thing isn’t difficult to explain. These Buddha statues have been mixed with bone powder. It’s normal for them to emit light,” Xie Qiao added.
Her tone was indifferent, but every word she said made one’s heart tremble uncontrollably.
Looking at the Buddha statues again, they had goosebumps.
The Crown Prince was still fine. He was someone who had seen ghouls and major crimes before.
Xie Pinggang simply lacked the nerves of fear, so he did not have much of a reaction.
The others were different.
There was more worry and fear in their eyes.
“Master Mo, why didn’t you wait for the ghouls here to come out and destroy them?” Xie Pinggang looked puzzled.
“That’s easy for you to say.” Xie Qiao rolled her eyes at him.
“Here… There are 18 Buddha statues, an evil formation, and an infant’s spirit. What do you know? You’re only standing by the side… What can’t you help…?” Xie Qiao said with disdain.
At this point, Xie Qiao glanced at the Crown Prince and flattered him, “Of course, Your Highness is different. Dragon blood can remove bad luck. He’d still be useful.”
Zhao Xuanjing’s lips curled up, and he was slightly proud.
“I’ve just fainted once before, and my body can’t take it anymore. In the next two days, I’ll come during the day and weaken the evil energy a little. When I’m fully prepared, I’ll come and wipe out the evil things Here!” Xie Qiao said with a straight face, raising her head and puffing out her chest. No one could see the fear inside of her.
