Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 708 - 692: Calamity of Blood and Disaster

"Ah? Life charts clashing!" Yang Shushuan’s face turned pale immediately, then he was somewhat perplexed, "No fortune-teller ever said there was someone tough enough in our family to clash with others’ life charts before?"

Li Tiezhu shook his head and said, "That’s because you’ve never met someone truly knowledgeable before. Someone with real skills who can invite the Immortal Family would know at a glance. It’s not that one is tough enough to clash with others, it’s that their life charts inherently clash; they’re born not to get along.

If I’m not wrong, your family’s son and daughter have been fighting since they were little. When one is smooth, the other is not; when one laughs, the other cries, think about it carefully, isn’t that right?"

Jiang Yuan immediately understood upon hearing this, isn’t it exactly so?

The parents are biased, favoring boys over girls. With Yang Hongye’s feisty nature, she definitely wouldn’t just take it lying down. The siblings must have often quarreled, with their parents taking sides. When one is happy, the other is definitely not.

"If you put it like that, Master..." Originally, Yang Shushuan had deep trust in the Master because of capturing ghosts. Thinking carefully, indeed, the two siblings were always in discord.

Moreover, the daughter studied all the way to college, while the son couldn’t even make it through middle school.

Whenever someone in the village talked about whose son got into college, he would turn green with envy, wondering why it wasn’t his daughter who dropped out of junior high to marry and be filial to the parents, while his son finished college and made money in a big city?

"It’s really true!" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his daughter clashed away his son’s talent and luck, enraged, he smacked his thigh, "Damn it, how did I raise such an ungrateful brat!"

Li Tiezhu didn’t pick up this line, he continued, "Actually, having both a son and a daughter should be a harmonious and wonderful thing. But their life charts don’t match, they clash destiny-wise, which is actually not good for anyone. So through the constant clashing, their relationships have both been delayed.

The problem is, resolving it earlier would have been possible, but now that they’re over twenty, it’s hard to say.

It’s best to let them stay as far apart as possible, avoid meeting each other, that way at least one of them might have a smooth relationship.

But if one gets married, the other might just end up alone, you must think it through, your son has been haunted by a Yin Fiend for days and is weak. This crucial moment is the last thing needed to have more issues caused by clashing.

Let me tell you and you remember: start from tomorrow, make the kid face east and sit cross-legged at six in the morning to absorb Yang energy; after nine in the evening, lie down quietly without making a sound, and keep the room completely dark to avoid attracting ghost energy.

Millet contains the four energies of earth, wood, metal, and fire; primarily with earthy energy, it can counteract Yin Fiend Qi. Also, boil it with red dates into porridge, drink a small bowl with every meal, for nine consecutive days;

Additionally, astragalus stewed chicken or beef will work, have it once a day, eat the meat but don’t drink the soup.

Buy red underwear and red socks for him, after stepping over a fire basin at noon in the courtyard, immediately take a hot bath, wash head to toe thoroughly and change. Buy several sets to rotate, must change into clean ones after bathing each day to dispel bad luck for nine consecutive days.

This is a Protective Talisman blessed by the Immortal Family, wear it on the body, remove it only for bathing and don’t let water wet it, keep it on as much as possible without harm. For now, it’s best to stay home protected by the household gods, don’t go out casually, especially at night!"

Li Tiezhu finished and pointed to the room where Yang Yaozong lived, advising, "This room invited the Yin Fiend and became unclean, have the child move out to any other room, take everything out to sunbathe for three days, wash and brush what needs it, while burning wormwood in the room.

Remember to keep the windows and doors open during the day, let the sunlight pour in..."

Huang San saw Jiang Yuan listening intently, he waved his hand and chuckled, "No need to memorize, these are all just for psychological comfort, once the ghost is caught, nothing more to worry about.

But still, the key is to ’dress it up’, give the client emotional value. The more mystical it sounds, the more detailed and complex the steps, the more they find it useful.

It’s psychological, without these rituals and nonsense explanations, if you directly caught the ghost, they’d say you didn’t put in the effort. It’s like putting on a show, doing flips and tricks, same principle."

Jiang Yuan: ...

So it’s like this! I even thought there was some truth to it and was earnestly learning here.

"Of course, though cumbersome, these steps have positive effects," it added explaining, "After all, being drained of Yang energy by a ghost makes one weak physically and mentally exhausted. Stepping over the fire basin offers a psychological boost, bathing at noon prevents catching a chill, and nutritious food restores the body;

By doing daily cleaning, changing into fresh clothes, going to bed early and avoiding wandering around, it’s beneficial. The room, being messy and smelly, if left unchanged will make one sick over time."

Indeed reasonable!

Jiang Yuan nodded approvingly, learning once more—that packaging must blend useful things with mysticism to make it more convincing and executable. Once the body is well and spirit is uplifted, they would perceive the Master as skillful.

Yang Shushuan earnestly noted everything down, carefully storing the wooden Protective Talisman given by the Master, then asked again, "Master, you said the siblings’ life charts clash, can you resolve it?

Raising two kids wasn’t easy, which parents don’t wish well for their children? Yet, look at these two, neither brings any peace..."

"Resolving it might have been useful when the two were around ten years old, but now it’s too late.

All troubles big and small in your family stem from this root, it’s like that magnetic field, incompatibility breeds discord, doesn’t it let malevolent spirits take advantage?

Take good counsel with your wife, if things continue to be delayed it might lead to a disaster of bloodshed."

Li Tiezhu initially intended to scare him a bit, but as soon as he finished speaking, they heard a sharp scream from the east room where Zhang Su’e was.

Yang Shushuan hesitated for a moment, then rushed over in a few steps, pulling out keys from his pocket, opening the door, "What’s all the noise? Not one of you is sensible enough for peace!"

"I was just trying to persuade our daughter not to leave, to stay home and rest for a few days. She, she was about to use a knife!" Zhang Su’e exclaimed both angrily and aggrieved, "We are doing this for her good, yet look at her acting like we’re enemies."

Which woman wouldn’t get married and have kids?

These days, the wives in the village are treated like they’re on top, don’t need to do anything; everyone coddles them out of fear they’ll leave. As long as they give birth to a boy, that’s enough, much better than our times..."

Yang Hongye rolled her eyes and snorted coldly.

She expected trouble as soon as she got home, and sure enough, her mother had just been wiping tears, citing examples of daughters who got married, received a hefty bride price, and bought houses for their brothers and parents, criticizing her for being useless.

If I speak kindly, she calls me unfilial;

If I snap back, she cries about wanting to hang herself, saying she can’t live anymore.

Yang Hongye straightforwardly pulled out the dagger hidden in her Martin boots, "Either I leave and give you a little support money each year, or one of us dies today, to save you from playing the suicide card."

Bloody disaster!

When Yang Shuzhuan saw the sharp dagger in her hand, the words of the master exploded in his mind. Thinking about the two kids, if one of them had to end up single, it absolutely couldn’t be Yao Sect.

"Let her go." With a group of people outside waiting, he feared becoming a laughingstock and scolded angrily: "Don’t come back in the future, spare your brother from disasters!

No wonder the master said you two never fared well together, the sooner you leave, the better!"

Yang Hongye didn’t dare let her guard down. She put away the dagger at the door, sprinted a few steps towards Chuci’s bodyguard, afraid her father might change his mind and attack.

This seemed like the strongest person; hiding next to him felt the safest.

Jiang Yuan stepped forward to pick up the tied-up Yin Fiend and asked, "What should be done with this thing?"

Li Tiezhu couldn’t see anything after leaving Huang San, but he was adept enough to pretend convincingly, waved his hand and said seriously: "Yang Yaozong is completely lucid now, he needs to explain clearly how he got entangled with such a thing.

I have a feeling something’s off. Brother Yang, are you sure all these kids are haunted by ghosts with the same symptoms?"

"Sure, I saw it with my own eyes! We made a special chat group for this." Yang Shuzhuan declared confidently, "There are seven who played together, I checked each house, afraid they’d fake ghostly hauntings to swindle us.

All seven have identical situations, can’t be just acting, that’s why I believe they’re genuinely haunted. Master, what seems off? Is there more sinister stuff lurking around unsolved?"

After some thought, Li Tiezhu said succinctly, "If all haunted and with seven powerful Yin Fiends haunting the cemetery, there’d be no living person left in your village;

But if it’s just one, didn’t that Master Liang already exorcise a few families? How could he miss catching the Yin Fiend and let it keep haunting those who paid?"

Chuci instantly got excited, answering eagerly: "Could it be keeping Yin Fiends, releasing them deliberately to haunt people and extort money? Wow, I’ve heard such stories, turns out it can really happen!"

"It could also be having a blessed and empowered Protective Talisman." Jiang Yuan pointed out: "See, it doesn’t dare approach you."

Indeed! The beads on the wrist and the Peaceful Charm around the neck emitted a faint glow, effectively repelling evil spirits from coming close.

With these protective treasures, Chuci felt braver, slightly moving closer to observe the Yin Fiend, tightly restrained and immobile.

"This instance is uncertain; twenty grand from one house, Master Liang earned sixty grand these days."

Recovering from the scare by her daughter’s knife, Zhang Sumei was stunned, "Oh Heavens, truly, one can raise ghosts, we shouldn’t offend such people."

Within her words lay concern over angering someone and bringing trouble onto her family.

"Since you’re scared, all the more we need to get to the bottom of it, what if there’s more than one? You’ve taken their money to avert calamities; you must deal with all the Yin Fiends, ensure they don’t return to haunt you before considering it done." Li Tiezhu called on people to unbind Yang Yaozong and have him recount the truth.

Jiang Yuan observed the noisy crowd and the unconscious Yin Fiend in his hand, thinking, isn’t there a ready answer here? Trying a Soul Searching wouldn’t cost anything.

"Buzz!"

Unlike using Soul Searching Technique in the wilderness getting the notebook, upon using the skill on the Yin Fiend, a scene slowly unfolded before his eyes with a buzzing sound.

"Lord Ghost Immortal, as instructed, I’ve sent out the message, but I’m uncertain if they’ll head to the graveyard."

"Lord Ghost Immortal, please enjoy the incense, I just noticed a planned live stream, at eleven-thirty tonight, they’ll perform a rave on the tomb, appreciate your effort!"

"With so much money made, may I buy the latest Hey Louie bag?"

"Lord Ghost Immortal spoils me, easily earning tens of thousands by possessing someone casually, money comes easy. I’ll burn more incense for you, eat more to grow mightier!"

"Lord Ghost Immortal is mighty! That sorcerer today got chased around hilariously, it was a blast, hahaha..."
