Chapter 57 Si Yao's Peace Talisman is Destroyed
"Now, the abbot of Zhenguo Temple and the imperial physician are waiting in the main hall!" Steward Su said excitedly.
Overjoyed, Madam Su wept and began to walk away.
Su Xiao is plagued by evil spirits and has not yet woken up, causing his military merits and rewards to be repeatedly delayed, and also causing many troubles in the inner quarters.
As long as my son can wake up soon, all the current troubles can be easily resolved.
When Madam Su arrived at the main hall, she saw the abbot of Zhenguo Temple with a solemn face, remaining silent.
"Master, what is the reason for this?" Noticing that the master's expression was not good, Madam Su quickly asked.
The abbot chanted a Buddhist prayer and asked Madam Su, "Isn't there a main chair in this spot in the main hall?"
"Yes, but it was temporarily moved yesterday and hasn't been put back yet," said Madam Su guiltily.
She said this because she couldn't bear the blame for Si Yao destroying the imperial gift.
The abbot nodded, looking knowing. "There's no time to lose. This imperial gift carries dragon energy and is meant to protect the house and bring peace. The old lady must return the main chair by tomorrow."
"Excuse me, is there a problem?" Old Madam Su's face showed obvious panic.
The abbot shook his head. "Since it can be put back, it's not a big problem. Madam, please take me to see General Su."
The secrets of heaven should not be revealed too much. The fact that he has given us this much advice is already out of compassion.
Madam Su's expression softened somewhat; thankfully, it wasn't a serious problem.
She arrived at Su Xiao's courtyard with the abbot and the imperial physician.
Four maids and two old women were there to serve him medicine and clean his body, but the unconscious man was surrounded by black aura, so only the two bold old women dared to approach him.
"How is Xiao'er?" Old Madam Su asked the old woman as soon as she entered the room.
The old woman shook her head, her face pale. "The general is still unconscious."
Madam Su: ...
Do you think I can't see it?
She led the abbot and the imperial physician to the bedside, where Su Xiao's forehead was dark, his cheeks were sunken, and the black aura surrounding him made people feel cold just by getting close.
After examining it, the abbot's expression changed drastically. "Where did you attract such a powerful evil spirit? If you delay any longer, you will lose your life. Amitabha."
"What!" Old Madam Su's eyes widened, and she took a step back, her face full of grief.
"I thought that Mengmeng and I were both fine, and Xiao'er was also alright. Master, please, save Xiao'er. He is a hero of the Great Xia Dynasty."
Madam Su almost knelt down before the abbot.
The abbot quickly dodged, saying, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. You and your granddaughter are not the targets of their revenge, so naturally..."
"The evil spirits won't take your lives, but they're specifically after General Su..."
At this point, the abbot sighed slightly, "Although the evil spirit is not on General Su, it left behind a lot of resentment, which is why General Su has not woken up yet."
I don't know where the evil spirits went, leaving behind a bunch of resentment to harm people.
"If we can dispel this resentment, will Xiao'er be able to wake up?" A glimmer of hope ignited in Old Madam Su's eyes.
The abbot nodded. "That's possible, but what if they come again?"
"They may come again, but they might not be able to harm Xiao'er. Master, please don't forget that the amulets on Xiao'er and Si Yao back then were given to them by you."
Madam Su said, "If you give them another one, there shouldn't be any problem."
When the old lady mentioned the amulet, the abbot's expression changed slightly.
He took the amulet from Su Xiao's pocket and saw that its light was indeed dim, which meant that the amulet had saved General Su's life.
Otherwise, the couple would have both perished in the outskirts of Beijing.
"These two talismans are a matter of chance, not something I can simply give away as I please." The abbot refused, and instead cast a spell on the old talisman.
Put it back on Su Xiao.
Soon, the black aura surrounding Su Xiao gradually disappeared.
Si Yao, who was hiding outside the gate, was overjoyed to see this, so she took out her talisman and came to the abbot.
"Master, my talisman has also stopped working. Can you help me restore it?"
Si Yao still remembers the harrowing experience of that day.
She had a bad feeling.
Those evil spirits were after her and wanted to kill her.
She cannot rest easy for a single day without the protection of a talisman.
"Si Yao, weren't you feeling unwell? Why are you here?" Old Madam Su's expression changed slightly.
Si Yao's face was still somewhat pale. She said, "I heard that His Majesty sent people to rescue Brother Xiao, so of course I had to come and see."
She vomited blood twice from anger caused by her own daughter, and her lips were still somewhat pale.
Hiding behind the old lady, Su Mengmeng dared not come out to see Si Yao.
She didn't dare let her mother know that she had lost her pen.
He even shouted in the courtyard all morning that a wife who is also a concubine, which almost made his mother die of anger.
She decided to keep it a secret until her mother was less angry before telling her.
The abbot glanced at the amulet, then at the black mist slowly dissipating from the bed.
His eyes were filled with terror, but he could vaguely discern a cause and effect.
Why... must the evil spirits be so determined to kill this couple?
His movement, which was about to use magic to restore the power of the peace talisman to Si Yao, froze...
He then slowly withdrew his hand and uttered a Buddhist chant:
“Amitabha, Benefactor Si, this old monk is powerless to help you with this matter. There is a cause and effect, and this old monk cannot interfere arbitrarily.”
Moreover, this amulet doesn't belong to him.
Instead, someone asked him to help them pass the buck, ensuring Su Xiao's safe journey.
As for Si Yao's karma, only she herself can bear it; no one can interfere.
"Why? Why doesn't mine work?" Si Yao looked at Su Xiao with a face full of anger.
Why is it that Su Xiao's magic power can be restored?
The abbot shook his head and remained silent.
These two amulets were originally entrusted to him to be given to General Su and his wife.
When Su Xiao brought Si Yao with him, he assumed that Si Yao was his wife, so he gave them the amulet.
Unexpectedly, the abbot later learned that General Su had a legal wife.
The abbot knew he had given the position to the wrong person and had been looking for an opportunity to understand the consequences of his actions.
Now that the magic power on Si Yao's peace talisman has disappeared, it's a perfect opportunity for him to settle his karmic debts.
In any case, he could no longer interfere in Si Yao's affairs.
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, benefactor. As long as you have an open mind and a compassionate heart, you will naturally live a peaceful life without needing a talisman."
After saying that, the abbot took the peace charm that Si Yao had handed him and gently squeezed it in his palm.
That amulet, meant to protect and ward off evil, was completely reduced to dust.
Si Yao was furious and wanted to pull out her whip to teach the abbot a lesson, but when she reached out, she found that her whip was gone.
"Why did you crush my talisman! Why!"
That was her last line of defense.
If evil spirits were to come knocking on her door one day, how would Si Yao deal with it?
"Si Yao, don't shout like that here! What kind of behavior is this? The imperial physician is still treating Xiao'er. If you disturb him, I won't let you off!"
Madam Su reprimanded, "Besides, the abbot has his reasons for everything he does. Would he harm you? If you cause any more trouble, get out!"
"Why are you telling me to leave? The military merits were earned by Xiao Ge and me together!" Si Yao said, her face full of indignation.
Madam Su's face fell.
In front of so many people, Si Yao dared to yell at her mother-in-law.
