Chapter 0022: Blessings and Disasters from Heaven
When he woke up again, he found that he was no longer in the temple, and there were corpses of bandits lying all around him, all of whom died in extremely strange ways.
He Donglai was so frightened that he started running, but he tripped after taking just a few steps.
When I got up, I found something shiny on the ground. It turned out to be a pile of gold and silver jewelry!
He Donglai was surprised and happy. He ignored his fear, stripped a bandit of his clothes, packed up all the things, put them on his back, and ran away.
But soon, he realized something was wrong. Not only did he become full of energy, but he also walked very fast. His lame leg had actually healed overnight.
After he came out of the mountain, he discovered an even more shocking phenomenon.
He has become younger!
All the white hair turned black, and the skin became delicate and smooth, and he looked more than 20 years younger!
Later, as most people have said, He Donglai returned to Jiangcheng with a huge fortune to seek revenge and rebuild his family.
He Donglai knew that all this was due to the headless Buddha, so he bought a piece of land, started a large-scale construction, and built a secret room underground specifically for worship.
It’s strange to say, although many years have passed, He Donglai still remembers every detail of the Bodhisattva very clearly in his mind, even the pattern of its clothes.
But the head of the Bodhisattva was a difficult design for He Donglai, so he sculpted a face according to his own imagination.
From then on, the He family prospered and became wealthy. Even during a century of chaos, they remained standing.
It was not until He Donglai's first daughter suddenly died at the age of nineteen that the He family's nightmare began.
When the second daughter died mysteriously in the same way, He Donglai realized that this was the offering that the Headless Bodhisattva wanted.
"Give me offerings, and you will be blessed with peace and happiness!"
It turns out that all the Fu Ning of the He family were nourished with the flesh and blood of the He family's daughters.
He Donglai lived without any disaster or illness until he was 120 years old. Before he died, he told his descendants what had happened, but he concealed the most crucial part.
Because he had already understood by now that the dilapidated temple was by no means a lucky thing. Once he got involved with it, he would never be free from it.
However, he still couldn't let it go completely. He copied the secret and hid it in the statue.
It was not until the Bodhisattva's head suddenly broke off that the secret reappeared in the world.
After reading He Donglai's letter, the room fell silent. I noticed that everyone had a stern look on their faces, and it seemed like they couldn't digest the message for a while.
When they returned to the living room and saw the bright lights outside, everyone's expressions relaxed.
Soon, there was another video call.
Mr. He Jiu did not hide anything and told him everything that He Donglai said in the letter.
"Are you all satisfied this time? Let Baoer go!"
The other party laughed loudly: "Okay, okay , there really is such a magical method, it really does exist, hahaha!" After laughing for a while, he said: "Master Jiu, looking at you like this, you don't want to watch your granddaughter die, right?"
"What do you mean?" Mr. He Jiu asked coldly.
The other party sighed and said, "If I remember correctly, your granddaughter's birthday seems to be May 5th. So, I'm afraid that in a dozen days, such a lovely girl will pass away. Oh, what a pity, what a pity!"
At this point, his tone became serious, "So I have a suggestion. Why don't we all work together and go to southern Yunnan together to find the temple your great-grandfather mentioned. Maybe we can save this little girl's life."
Master He Jiu sneered: "Don't you think this is ridiculous? All the secrets of our He family have been told to each other. If you want to find it, just go by yourself!"
The other party was not angry, and said with a smile: "Master Jiu is right, we do want to go to southern Yunnan to look for temples, but I don't know how much of what Master Jiu said is true or false."
"So we'd like to trouble you, Master Jiu, to come with us. As long as we find the temple that Grandpa He mentioned, we will naturally return the little girl. Besides, Master Jiu, doesn't he want to save your granddaughter's life? This is a win-win situation for us."
"I know that Master Jiu is a man of great courage and will never let me down, hehe!"
After the video was hung up, everyone in the hall had different expressions.
Master He Jiu was silent for a long time, then he stood up, bowed to me and Master Liu Feihe, and said solemnly, "That person is right. No matter what it is for... Hey, I am going to go to southern Yunnan to take a look."
Liu Feihe and I stood up to return the greeting.
Although Master He Jiu did not say it explicitly, everyone could hear that he was asking us whether we could accompany him to southern Yunnan.
Liu Feihe smiled calmly: "Over the years, I have been looking for the whereabouts of my master, and now I finally found him."
Mr. He Jiu was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Liu Feihe.
Liu Feihe's words were very clear. In order to find his missing master, he had to go to southern Yunnan.
His four apprentices were also eager to try, feeling both nervous and excited.
"I don't know, young sir..."
I saw Master He Jiu looking at me with sharp eyes, so I said seriously, "Since everyone is going, I'll go and see it too."
Mr. He Jiu was delighted and said yes repeatedly.
Liu Feihe smiled and said, "Friend Chen, I'm afraid the risk of going to southern Yunnan this time is very high."
I knew he meant well and was trying to subtly remind me of the dangers of this trip to southern Yunnan. I couldn't help but laugh and said, "We Feng Shui masters are not just eloquent people. If we really want to be safe, we might as well go home and hug our children!"
Liu Feihe laughed loudly: "Well said, well said! For those of us who have entered the Xuanmen, this is the most risky profession in the world. Who among us doesn't risk our lives on it?"
"What I hate most is the kind of people who learn some Xuanmen skills but only think about using them to pick up girls and make some money. They really bring shame to us Xuanmen people! What Chen Xiaoyou said really touches my heart!"
I didn't expect that Master Liu, who looked rather old-fashioned, was actually quite generous. I couldn't help but have a very good impression of him.
By this time it was completely dark.
After dinner, the other party called again via video. He Jiuye agreed to the other party's request and said that he could go to southern Yunnan together, but He Baoer's safety must be confirmed.
The other party said there was no rush, and that when the two sides met, they would naturally let He Jiuye and his grandson meet, and then the video was disconnected.
A group of people continued to discuss tomorrow's trip to southern Yunnan in the living room. I listened for a while, then got up and went upstairs.
I found the room of Lin Qingshuang's two best friends, pushed the door open, and saw them lying side by side on the bed, their eyes wide open, their faces full of fear, and tears streaming from the corners of their eyes. I couldn't help but laugh.
"How do you feel?" I asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.
When they saw it was me, their eyes rolled around.
The cook who was looking after them in the room said hurriedly, "Young sir, the two young ladies' eyes kept rolling around just now. I don't know what's going on."
I saw their faces flushed red, their eyes were anxious and embarrassed, and I roughly understood what was going on , but I deliberately asked, "Is it too hot? I'll ask Aunt Zhang to ventilate you guys?"
They both opened their eyes wide, their eyeballs motionless.
I asked a few more questions, and seeing their faces getting redder and their eyes filled with anger, I said, "Oh," and then I said, "Is that what people need to do urgently?"
The two of them quickly rolled their eyes three times.
The cook, Mrs. Zhang, slapped her forehead and said, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. It turns out that the two young ladies wanted to go to the bathroom!"
