Chapter 384: Repaying Evil with Virtue
Murong Yun never expected that he just took a nap, and when he woke up, everything was handled. The family's life-and-death crisis was averted, and at the same time, he had a backer who was more powerful than the Soul-Catching Bell.
Happiness came so unexpectedly that he was stunned for a long time after Jiang Ci finished speaking.
"Why, you don't agree?" Jiang Ci called him.
Murong Yun came back to his senses and nodded desperately: "I agree! Of course I agree. Don't worry, everyone, what my Murong family owes you will be repaid with offerings from the descendants of the Murong family!"
"If you need anything, just tell us and we will do our best to meet your needs!"
As Murong Yun spoke, he did not forget to kneel down and kowtow to them.
"Thank you all for giving my Murong clan another chance to repay their debt. Thank you!"
"Ah Ci, I'm going down now. Call me anytime if you need anything." Hades said as he returned the Soul-Catching Bell to her. "This thing is a pretty good magical tool in the world of the living. I've erased the Taoist patterns on it and added a layer of spiritual spell. It can no longer be used to trap souls. They can continue to live in the Soul-Catching Bell and come and go freely."
Jiang Ci took it with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you very much."
Hades gently rubbed her head and said, "Why should we be so polite?"
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Murong Yun hurriedly bowed to the Hades and said, "Thank you, Master Yinchai!"
He was unaware of the situation and thought that Hades was a ghost messenger hired by Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci and Pluto smiled and didn't explain.
Hades turned and disappeared before their eyes.
Murong Yun took back the Soul-Catching Bell with great excitement, and all the resentment had returned to the Soul-Catching Bell.
He held the soul-catching bell in both hands piously and took it to the family ancestral hall, where he enshrined it in a high position. He also removed the tablets of all the ancestors who had done evil and only kept the tablets of a few elders from recent times.
Jiang Ci was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that Murong's ancestors were so vicious, but his descendants are kind."
Murong Yun said honestly while burning incense, "It was my grandfather's grandfather who saw his elders slaughtering lives since he was a child. He felt deeply disturbed. His actions speak louder than his words, and he has been doing good deeds all his life to make up for it."
"Unfortunately, his ancestors committed too many sins. All the good deeds he has accumulated throughout his life are like Jingwei filling the sea. They have no effect at all."
Jiang Ci said, "How could it not work? At least his actions made your grandfather and you young people turn to good again and understand that the evil deeds of your ancestors were not good. His kindness and integrity deeply influenced his family and changed the three views and values inherent in the Murong family."
Murong Yun thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.
"As the descendants of our great-great-grandfather, we, the younger generation, should inherit his spirit and pass on his kindness and integrity!"
As he spoke, he lit another stick of incense for his great-grandfather and bowed respectfully.
Jiang Ci leaned against the door frame and sent a message to Pluto.
Pluto replied quickly.
[Cold-faced Hades: The person you are talking about did good deeds throughout his life and accumulated a lot of good karma, but he has always been working for the Murong clan. After his death, he had the opportunity to reincarnate, but he gave it up. Now he is working at the First Hospital of Huangquan Road, treating ghosts. He is a rare kind person. If he wants to reincarnate in the future, his fate in the next life will definitely be very good.]
"See a doctor?" Jiang Ci muttered.
Murong Yun heard it and asked in surprise: "See a doctor?"
Jiang Ci asked curiously, "Is your great-grandfather a doctor?"
Murong Yun was even more surprised: "Master Jiang, you are amazing. You have figured this out?"
"Yes, my great-great-grandfather started studying medicine at the age of sixteen and continued to treat patients until his death."
"He is also the only one in our family who gave up cultivation and studied medicine."
Jiang Ci suddenly realized: "No wonder, doctors are kind-hearted, and have great fortune and merits."
"Your great-great-grandfather has not been reincarnated."
Murong Yun was shocked: "What? Could it be that because of the sins committed by my ancestors, my great-grandfather went to hell?"
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "No, he works at the Underworld Hospital. When you die in the future, you can go visit him."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yun was surprised and happy, and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The two men came out of the family ancestral hall and went to see the unconscious old patriarch.
Murong Jinran had been watching over his grandfather until the two of them came back. Especially since Murong Yun was still injured and bloodstained, he asked worriedly, "Brother, what happened to you?"
"There was an earthquake just now. Was it caused by those things in the Soul-Catching Bell?"
Murong Yun glared: "Little sister! Watch your words!"
"What are those things? They are all victims hurt by our family!"
Murong Jinran felt a little aggrieved after being scolded, and whispered: "I know they are all victims..."
"This is what happened..." Murong Yun told Jiang Ci how he had subdued the resentment of the Soul-Catching Bells and how the family would have to worship them from now on.
Murong Jinran was extremely shocked after hearing this, "Is this matter resolved just like that?"
She was mentally prepared that at least half of her family members would die.
Unexpectedly, not only did my family members not have to pay with their lives, but they also received their protection.
Murong Jinran burst into tears on the spot: "How can they be so reasonable and repay evil with kindness?"
If it were me, I probably wouldn’t be able to be so open-minded.
Jiang Ci said: "Of course, evil deeds cannot be easily forgiven. Your ancestors who committed evil deeds will be miserable for ten lifetimes after they are reincarnated. During these ten lifetimes, the vengeful spirits may seek revenge at any time and will not be trapped by karma."
The brother and sister looked at each other.
Murong Jinran was the first to speak: "They deserved it. They had to capture a living being to refine him. How unkind! They almost wiped out our entire family."
"Let alone ten lifetimes, even if it's a hundred lifetimes, it's all due to their own sins. This is just karma."
"That's right." Murong Yun nodded. "When grandpa wakes up and father comes back, I will discuss with them that the ancestral hall can no longer enshrine the tablets of those unscrupulous and cruel ancestors."
"They don't deserve to be worshipped by future generations!"
Murong Jinran said: "Brother is right. Master Jiang, since the matter has been resolved, then my grandfather..."
She looked at her grandfather worriedly.
"After you went to the forbidden area, grandpa's condition was very bad. He only had half a breath left."
Jiang Ci was straightforward, "Bring me the silver needle."
Murong Yun happily took out the silver needle and presented it to her with both hands.
Jiang Ci pulled out a few and quickly stabbed them into the old patriarch's acupoints.
A dark, deathly aura slowly floated out from the place where the needle had pricked.
The brother and sister were really afraid of this thing, and both covered their mouths and noses and took three steps back.
Deathly air permeates the air.
The old patriarch's pale complexion actually improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Grandpa!" Murong Jinran exclaimed, "Grandpa looks much better!"
