Chapter 154 Hear from the person concerned
Liu Cui went to see the Buddha statue again and found that it was just as she had said.
This Buddha statue does not have a kind and benevolent look at all. Instead, it is eerie and makes people feel cold.
"Really...how could this be? Could it be that this Buddha statue really wasn't invited from the Fahua Temple?" Liu Cui felt goose bumps all over her body.
"Placing a Buddha statue of unknown origin at home is full of evil spirits. It is also placed facing south, which is clearly a very bad layout!"
"Such a bad situation is not something that can be set up casually. The person who gave you the Buddha statue put a lot of thought into it, hoping to destroy your house and your family!"
Yun Qingqing's sharp gaze fell on Liu Ping.
Liu Cui's expression also changed. She looked at Liu Ping in disbelief and said angrily:
"It was you who did this! I'm your biological sister, why on earth would you do such a thing!"
"No, sister, how can you believe the nonsense of outsiders!" Liu Ping hurriedly denied, "This house is haunted by Qi Xiu's ghost, sister, please don't believe her!"
"Not really." Yun Qingqing denied his words on the spot, "On the contrary, if it weren't for the fact that Liu Xiu's ghost had deep feelings for Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan would have been possessed by the evil Buddha a long time ago, and would have been badly injured if he didn't die."
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up:
"Mom, did you hear me? I've long said Xiuxiu is a good girl. She has never hurt me. Instead, she has always protected me!"
As he spoke, he rushed to Yun Qingqing impatiently, knelt down and said:
"Master, can you please let me see Xiuxiu? You can definitely do it, right?"
Liu Ping couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked him up and said angrily:
"This charlatan is just following your wishes. I think she has bad intentions and wants to make trouble for our family so that she can profit from it!"
"I clearly brought that Buddha statue from the Fahua Temple. The statue must have become like this because it was tainted with Qi Xiu's resentment! How can you blame me for this! I was clearly thinking about you!"
Seeing Liu Cui's hesitant and undecided look, Yun Qingqing sneered, raised her hand and threw the Buddha statue to the ground.
With a loud crash, the Buddha statue broke into pieces.
"Look for yourselves what's inside this Buddha statue!"
Everyone present took a closer look and gasped.
I saw a small skull inside the broken Buddha statue!
Liu Cui screamed in fear and stepped back. Fortunately, Chen Yuan quickly caught her and prevented her from falling.
A black gas rose from the skull, and suddenly the shrill sound of a baby crying was heard in the air!
The entire Buddhist temple suddenly became much colder, as if to freeze people's souls. Several people stood there shivering, without even the strength to run.
Yun Qingqing's eyes turned fierce, and she took out a string of Buddhist beads from her sleeve and threw them out:
"receive!"
The Buddhist beads flew into the air and hovered in the center of the ceiling, emitting a burst of golden light. Everyone felt warm all over, and all the fear in their hearts was dispelled. They breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the shining Buddha's light, the black air scattered throughout the hall seemed to be frightened, and gathered into a ball and floated towards the door, trying to escape.
But the Buddhist beads suddenly burst out with a suction force, easily sucking the black air into one of the beads, and no matter how it struggled, it was useless.
When everything was settled, the light of the Buddhist beads disappeared and returned to Yun Qingqing's hand. He raised his head and gently rubbed her wrist. There was no trace of the aura of wanting to kill all evil just now, as if he was just acting coquettishly.
The onlookers were stunned.
Yun Qingqing looked at the small skull on the ground, touched his chin and fell into thought.
"Mom! The master is right. It is indeed this Buddha statue that is causing trouble! It has nothing to do with Xiuxiu at all!" Chen Yuan was the first to come to his senses and said loudly.
Liu Cui finally understood and pointed at Liu Ping with trembling eyes. She was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly:
"Is this the Buddha statue that you brought back from the Fahua Temple to protect your home?"
"I, what sin have I committed to deserve a brother as vicious as you!"
Liu Ping looked at the skull on the ground and his face turned pale.
But he quickly calmed down and said aggrievedly:
"That's not true... Alas! I admit that I didn't go to the Fahua Temple in person. I asked someone to bring the statue back. But I never thought that person would get this thing from somewhere to harm me!"
"Sister, Yuan'er, you must believe me! When I asked someone for help, I really wanted the Buddha statue from Fahua Temple. For this, I gave that person a lot of silver!"
"We are a family, how could I harm my own sister and nephew!"
His words were sincere and heartfelt, and after hearing what he said, the expressions of Liu Cui and her son eased a little.
"That's true...it seems like Ping has also been deceived." She sighed in disappointment and said to Yun Qingqing.
Yun Qingqing pinched her fingers and curled her lips coldly:
"Deceived? Then ask him who tricked him with the evil Buddha statue. Do you dare to bring that person here for a face-to-face confrontation?"
The sincere expression on Liu Ping's face suddenly froze.
"Go and investigate again. How much gambling debts does your brother, who always cares about you, owe? How does he plan to pay it back?"
"What? You went to gamble secretly again!" Liu Cui glared at Liu Ping, her heart furious.
Without waiting for Liu Ping to explain, Yun Qingqing spoke again:
"Please investigate carefully to find out where Qi Xiu was and what he did on the day he fell into the water!"
Liu Ping's face turned pale, and he hurriedly denied it:
"I-I don't know what you're talking about!"
Chen Yuan looked at his expression and suddenly understood what was going on. He rushed over and grabbed his collar and asked:
"Xiu Xiu's death has something to do with you, right? What on earth did you do to her?"
"Don't believe everything you hear and let others take advantage of you! They say I killed Qi Xiu, do you have any evidence?" Liu Ping pushed him away and said fiercely.
Yun Qingqing said coldly:
"It's better to hear the facts from the person involved."
Chen Yuan was shocked:
"Master, you mean... you have a way to make Xiu Xiu show up, right?"
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"But I still need to borrow the token of love she left for you."
"Okay, okay! I'll get it right away!" Chen Yuan immediately ran towards his room.
Liu Ping saw that the situation was not good and snorted coldly:
"You are totally out of your mind. I don't have time to mess around with you! Since you insist on listening to this outsider, I will just pretend that I don't have a sister like you! Don't regret it!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.
But the more Liu Cui saw him like this, the more she suspected that he was hiding something, and she immediately shouted:
"You can't leave! Someone, take him down for me!"
The Chen residence's housekeeper immediately rushed forward with his servants, restrained Liu Ping, and refused to let go even though he struggled and cursed.
"Uncle, I'm sorry! The lady has spoken, so we can't let you go!" said the butler with a sullen face.
These days everyone in the house is in danger due to the turmoil. Finally there is some clue to catch the instigator, and they showed no mercy.
"Aping, don't worry. If the truth comes out and it is found that you have been wronged, I will apologize to you!" Liu Cui said.
But she already had some vague guesses in her heart, but until the very end, she was still unwilling to believe that her beloved brother would do such a vicious thing.
Soon Chen Yuan came back with a hairpin.
He handed the hairpin to Yun Qingqing:
"Master, this is the token that Xiuxiu gave me. Do you think it's okay?"
Yun Qingqing took the hairpin. It was a very ordinary wooden hairpin, but it was smooth and moist all over. It was obviously because it was rubbed every day. It was enough to show how much Chen Yuan missed his fiancée who passed away young.
She nodded:
"This hairpin is made of willow wood, which gathers yin. This hairpin also carries the deep affection between you two. In addition, due to her obsession after her unjust death, her soul accidentally resides in this hairpin."
"That's why she had the chance to discover that you were harmed by the evil spirit and to bring you back to consciousness when you walked into the pond in a state of confusion."
Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly turned red:
"That's right! I was in a daze that day, and I heard Xiuxiu constantly shouting at me to wake up quickly. Then I came to my senses, and found myself sinking into the water!"
"If Xiuxiu hadn't called me, I would..."
"It's actually like this!" Liu Cui was frightened and touched her chest.
"Master! You said that Xiuxiu's soul is still in this hairpin? Can you please let me see her?" Chen Yuan begged.
