Chapter 105 Seeking Only Wealth

Chen Feng's voice stopped abruptly.

She had secretly taken the talisman from behind the door while her boss was out. It was hidden in a flour sack, but the Taoist priest who suddenly rushed in still managed to find it precisely.

He glanced at Chen Feng and said with a half-smile, "Young lady, take good care of yourself during your postpartum period. Do less of the things that are detrimental to your virtue in the future, and accumulate good karma for yourself."

“Otherwise, you’ll only suffer the consequences.” With that, he bowed his head and stepped out the door.

He held the yellow talisman between his index finger and thumb and came to Song Chunxue.

"This talisman was buried by the woman in this house. It's a talisman used by many who want to control men and make them obedient and subservient to them. But she didn't know that drawing this talisman requires dipping it in human blood, which can have a backlash."

He sneered, "Those who use this talisman will suffer greatly in their later years, dying a bitter death."

The eldest son, having finished urinating, stood at the corner of the courtyard wall, his mind blank.

how so?

Chen Feng actually used this evil thing on him!

“By the way, when I went into the courtyard just now, I found another one buried behind the door of this north room, but it has lost its effectiveness because the believer harbored resentment.” He looked at Song Chunxue, “Would you like me to break this talisman?”

Before Song Chunxue could speak, the eldest brother came over from around the corner.

"Are you sure this talisman was found in the thatched kiln?"

“It’s absolutely true. In the short time you were out, your wife dug it out and stuffed it into the lentil noodles,” Master Zhang said, casting a sympathetic look at him. “It must have been given to you by her family to suppress you.”

"But they forgot one thing: the man is Gan (乾) and the woman is Kun (坤). Using Kun to control Gan is suppressing oneself. As the saying goes, 'A woman follows her husband wherever he goes,' meaning she'll suppress your luck and make you live a miserable life for her own sake. What good will that do you?"

He sneered, "The Tao follows nature. Actions that violate the Tao will inevitably backfire and bring suffering upon oneself."

The eldest brother stared blankly at the talisman in his hand, muttering, "In that case, please, Taoist priest, break it."

Master Zhang nodded slightly, pointed his sword at the talisman paper, and silently recited an incantation while drawing a talisman in the air.

Finally, the sword pointed at the target, and the talisman suddenly burst into flames.

The Taoist priest released his fingers, and the talisman turned to ashes the moment it hit the ground.

Through the curtain, Chen Feng, standing in the thatched cave dwelling, took a few steps back in a daze, picked up the child, and sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

Meanwhile, far away at the Chen family home, Chen Guangcai and his wife felt a sharp pain in their hearts, and the next moment they clutched their chests and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Father, Mother!"

Chen Xiang, who was eating, shouted loudly, which startled him so much that he stood up and knelt on the ground.

He touched Chen Guangcai's knee and shook it in alarm, "Father, what happened?"

The elderly couple, Chen Guangcai and his wife, looked at each other in shock, clutching their chests in fear, and muttered, "How could this be!"

Isn't it said that very few people can recognize those talismans?

Where did the Jiang family find such a master?

Chen Guangcai clutched his chest, about to say something, when suddenly his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground.

"Father! Father, what's wrong with you!" Chen Xiang suddenly realized something and turned to look angrily at his mother. "Did you draw a talisman on Feng'er? That talisman can kill people, do you know that?!"

The meal was ready, and Song Chunxue and Lao Si watched as the Taoist priest ate four bowls in one go.

"Is there anything else?" Master Zhang asked, holding up the bowl and looking at Song Chunxue.

The fourth brother stood up and said, "There are still some Taoist priests left. I'll go and get them another bowl."

Song Chunxue had a poor appetite and lost her appetite after eating two bowls.

She never expected that Chen Feng would use a talisman on the boss.

No wonder he was so different before and after his marriage; even his temperament changed drastically, as if his conscience had been eaten by a dog.

Could it be that the reason she felt her eldest brother suddenly had a conscience a few days ago was because they changed rooms and the previous talisman was no longer effective?

If the Taoist priest hadn't discovered it, would we have had to put up another new one after the eldest brother and Chen Feng moved into the new house?

Aren't Chen Guangcai and his wife afraid of being struck by lightning?

They not only harmed the eldest son, but also his children.

"Believers, don't be sad. In this world, besides human actions, there is also divine will. Now that the trouble has been resolved, believers should be happy."

After finishing a plate of stir-fried pork with chives, the Taoist priest picked up a piece of tender wild vegetable that only grew in autumn, stroked his beard, and asked, "Do believers need talismans for wealth and peace?"

Seeking wealth?

Song Chunxue's eyes, which had just been gloomy and sad, suddenly brightened.

“Of course,” she asked nervously, “how many copper coins per piece?”

The Taoist priest got up and took the cloth bag from the side of the kang (a heated brick bed). "Since we are destined to meet, I'll give you one coin each."

"Huh?" Song Chunxue was a little surprised. "Isn't it too cheap?"

Before the Taoist priest could answer, she got up and took out ten copper coins from a box on the table. "I want ten wealth-attracting talismans."

Although she didn't think the fortune-telling talisman would work, the Taoist priest was clearly skilled, so what if he was?

She was terrified of poverty in her past life, and this time she wants to get rich!

Even if it doesn't bring in money, at least she can keep what's in her box. As long as she's able to work and farm, she'll definitely accumulate more and more.

Master Zhang laughed, "You only seek wealth, not peace?"

“I can carefully avoid the rest, but money is the only thing I can’t control,” Song Chunxue answered honestly. “Digging for money in the mountains is too tiring. What if some windfall comes knocking on my door? You’re right, Taoist priest?”

She handed ten copper coins to the Taoist priest with both hands, saying, "It depends on whether you have enough talismans."

The old Taoist priest pulled out a stack of wealth-attracting talismans from the bag and said with a helpless smile, "There are only ten left. Oh well, you can have them all. If you meet other people, tell them to ask for something else."

Song Chunxue was extremely grateful and put her hands together in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Daoist Master."

Master Zhang clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "This is your good fortune."

After finishing his meal, he filled his water bag, shouldered his belongings, and prepared to leave.

"Taoist Master, won't you take a nap before you leave?" At this moment, Lao Si didn't think he was a fraud at all; in fact, he admired him greatly.

"No, I prefer to nap in the trees. Farewell." With that, he strode away from the courtyard like a tall pine tree.

Song Chunxue and Lao Si stood outside the courtyard gate, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Take your things and go back to your parents' home now. The Jiang family can no longer tolerate you. If they want me to send you back, your parents will have to give me an explanation."

"Stop crying!"

The eldest brother's voice came from inside. Song Chunxue, who had no intention of eavesdropping, turned around and went into the courtyard.

"Mother, aren't you going to go and see?"

"What are you looking at? Haven't you learned your lesson before?" Song Chunxue said coldly. "The talisman is gone, but do you really think the boss can be so heartless as to divorce her?"

The fourth brother nodded, "This is his family matter, it's better if we don't get involved."

That's exactly the point.

In the afternoon, Song Chunxue had just woken up when she heard someone push open the courtyard gate and come in.

Is Aunt Song home?

"I'm just here to let you know that it's time to hand over grain and pay taxes the day after tomorrow. Please clean up the grain these next few days, and we'll come to collect it in two days."

Song Chunxue walked out of the room, and the person who came was none other than Li Jingyi, the village chief and Li Dazui's cousin.

County, township, village, pavilion.

Song Chunxue's place belongs to Longxi Prefecture, Zhuanglang County, Sifangli, Taiping Township, Lanwanting, Lijiazhuangzi.
