Chapter 141: Consequences of Not Listening to Advice
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“The Five-Yellow Fiend’s energy can be dissolved by metal. We can hang the
Six Emperor Coins here. The Six-Emperor Coins are considered as metal in the Five Elements and can easily dissolve the Five-Yellow Fiend’s energy.” Zhou Xiaoli explained.
Landlord Wan immediately replied, “Six Emperor Coins, right? I’ll prepare it immediately.”
Zhou Xiaoli shook her head. “No, you don’t know how to make it. It needs to be paired with a talisman to have the best effect. I’ll make it myself.”
“What you need to do is first fill in the fish pond that has been dug. It’s not good to have a fish pond or plants in that area this year. If you don’t fill it in quickly, I’m afraid something will happen in your house in the next two days.”
Hearing that the consequences were so serious, Landlord Wan’s face turned pale. He nodded and immediately replied, “No problem. Master, as soon as you give the order, I’ll immediately get someone to fill it in!”
Landlord Wan could be said to be swift and decisive. Perhaps he was afraid of the potential consequences as well. As soon as the words left his lips, he called the butler and ordered for the fish pond to be filled.
The butler received the order and immediately set off with more than 10 servants and tools to fill the pond.
Zhao Xiaoli was stunned for a moment at their speed before continuing, “Also, you have to be careful. This year, red is taboo as red can increase its ferocity.”
“Black and white are the favored colors. White is considered as gold in the Five Elements, and black is water. It can dilute the poisonous gas of the Five Yellow Fiend, reduce the toxicity, and achieve an overall balance.”
Landlord Wan took note of all her instructions.
He couldn’t help but to admire her. “As expected of Master Yuan’s disciple. You are really impressive. You didn’t even have to enter the house and only took a look to know the reason. That’s really impressive.”
“You flatter me.’
Zhou Xiaoli waved her hands again.
Actually, she sort of cheated. After all, she had the Heavenly Eye and could clearly see the black foul aura floating above the Wan family’s residence. There was no need for her to perform a divination to infer.
Landlord Wan wanted to invite Zhou Xiaoli into his house, but Zhou Xiaoli refused.
“No, send me back now. This Five Yellow Fiend is very poisonous. I can’t delay any longer. I have to go back immediately to make the Six Emperor Coins.”
With the safety of the family at stake, Landlord Wan did not dare to keep Zhou Xiaoli any longer. He quickly called for the coachman and wanted to send her back personally.
However, misfortune did not come alone.
At this moment, Second Landlord Wan suddenly ran to them in anger and questioned them loudly.
“Brother, why are you filling in my fish pond?”
Landlord Wan immediately explained the ins and outs of the matter. In the end, he emphasized, “If we don’t fill it in, I’m afraid our family will have a calamity soon!”
However, it was obvious that Second Landlord Wan did not believe a word he said.
He glanced at Zhou Xiaoli and said in disdain, “No, Big Brother, what’s wrong with you? Why are you being led by the nose by a little girl who hasn’t even grown her hair out!”
“You believed what she said? The position of the fish pond was calculated by Master Wang in the prefecture city. It can resolve the bad luck that our family had this year. What happens if you fill it up now?!”
Landlord Wan’s expression turned a little ugly. He glared at him. “Second Brother! Don’t be rude. Miss Zhou is Master Yuan’s eldest disciple! Her words are more reliable than your useless Master Wang. This fish pond will kill our family. We have to fill it up!”
Second Landlord Wan had a look of disbelief on him. “Master Yuan’s disciple? She said it herself? No, Big Brother, don’t be deceived by her. How can a country girl know Master Yuan? She’s just a fraudster who wants to cheat money!”
Landlord Wan was a little embarrassed. He ignored Second Master Wan and apologized to Zhou Xiaoli before saying, “Master Zhou, you can go back first.
I’ll handle the fish pond.”
Zhou Xiaoli nodded and agreed. After all, this was a matter for the Wan family to decide. She had already done her best by reminding him. If the other party didn’t listen, she had no reason to persuade him any further.
After bidding farewell to Landlord Wan, she got into the carriage.
Upon returning home, Zhou Xiaoli immediately went up the mountain and began to prepare the Six Emperors Coins.
When Yuan Zhengchun saw that Zhou Xiaoli had come up the mountain and was fiddling with something, he could not help but look at it out of curiosity.
He raised his eyebrows and said, “Oh, Six Emperor Coins and Five Yellow Fiend.
Who’s so unlucky?”
Zhou Xiaoli chuckled and began to flatter Yuan Zhengcun.
“Aiyaya, as expected of the famous Master Yuan. He’s really amazing.”
Yuan Zhengchun stroked his beard and sat down. He glared at her and said, “Stop talking nonsense. Who are you helping? How much are you planning to charge?”
Zhou Xiaoli casually replied, “Master, look at what you’re saying. It’s as if your disciple is a money-grubber.”
Yuan Zhengchun harrumphed. “Don’t you know what you are?”
Then, he changed the topic. “However, you have to think carefully. There are big and small consequences to the disclosure of heavenly secrets. Although Landlord Wan’s family is not a big family, they are still considered rich. Helping him avoid risks would bring more karmic hindrance than if you were to help ordinary people.”
Zhou Xiaoli knew that her master was concerned about her. Her heart warmed, and she immediately became serious.
“Master, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
“Alright, alright. As long as you know your limits.”
Yuan Zhengcun stroked his beard and stood up. He walked towards the study room. When he reached the door, he thought of something and turned around to say, “Don’t be overly involved in earning money all day. When you’re done with the making of the Six Emperor Coins, don’t forget about today’s homework. If you don’t do well, I’ll punish you severely.”
“I know, I know. Master, don’t worry. I’m your most obedient disciple.”
Zhou Xiaoli chuckled and coaxed Yuan Zhengchun back to the study room.
It was two days later when Zhou Xiaoli was finally done with the making of the Six Emperor Coins and infused them with spiritual energy by placing them in her master’s courtyard.
When she brought her things to the Wan family again, she saw that white cloth was draped over the Wan family’s door.
Zhou Xiaoli was stunned.
Soon, she learned the truth from the people around her.
It turned out that a house in the Wan family had suddenly collapsed for no reason. Second Landlord Wan’s wife was unfortunately smashed to death by the tiles falling from the roof.
Second Landlord Wan was also seriously injured.
Zhou Xiaoli shook her head. This was the power of the Five Yellow Fiend!
Just as Zhou Xiaoli sighed over what had happened, Landlord Wan came out to welcome her.
Landlord Wan looked much paler in comparison to how he was two days ago.
As soon as he welcomed Zhou Xiaoli into the house, he asked impatiently,
“Master, are you ready? Please help us.”
Before Zhou Xiaoli could say anything, Second Master Wan rushed out of the room with the help of a servant.
“Big Brother, is Grandmaster Zhou here? Grandmaster Zhou, Grandmaster Zhou..
Before he even reached her, he was already shouting for her.
“Master Zhou, you have to save us. It’s all that third-rate Taoist priest’s fault for lying to me! He caused endless trouble in my family. When I recover, I won’t let him off!”
Zhou Xiaoli looked over and realized that compared to Landlord Wan, Second Landlord Wan looked even more miserable.
“Second Brother, why did you come out of the room? The doctor said that you can’t walk for now. Quick, help the Second Master back to his bed!”
When the servant received the order, he hurriedly supported Second Landlord Wan back to the room. Second Landlord Wan did not give up and turned his head to shout, “Master, you have to help us. It’s fine no matter how much money you ask!”
Zhou Xiaoli raised her eyebrows.
She still remembered that two days ago, Second Landlord Wan did not trust her. Why did his attitude change so quickly?
Landlord Wan sighed and told her the whole story..
