Chapter 342: Tianming Pavilion Incident - Divine Beast Talisman
The man shouted loudly at the gate, causing quite a commotion.
Many people were disgusted with his slander of Tianming Pavilion and Qingyun Zhenren, and they criticized him:
"Don't talk nonsense, Master Qingyun is well known for his amazing calculations, how could he lie like you said!"
"That's right! The master has helped countless people. My cousin got seriously ill a while ago and the doctors were helpless and told her to prepare for her death. But my uncle came here with a try-it attitude and actually got a talisman. Now my cousin has recovered and is eating well and sleeping soundly! How can you say that the talismans here are ineffective?"
"Is there anyone in our Imperial Capital who is still suspicious of Master Qingyun? I think this person is clearly a colleague from somewhere else, and he is jealous of Tianming Pavilion and is here to mess things up!"
"What you said is that you are jealous of others' efficacies and do bad things. How can you still be called a colleague? You should be called a charlatan..."
The dark and thin man became even angrier after hearing these words, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Don't talk as if you saw it with your own eyes. You said that the Tianming Pavilion is effective, but have you ever been there?"
"You are just hearsay, who has the right to speak like me who has experienced it personally!"
"Open your eyes and look at the talisman in my hand! I just want to ask, if the people of Tianming Pavilion have no guilty conscience, do you dare to come out and identify this talisman to see if it was made by your Pavilion Master!"
After he said this, the people around him fell silent.
After all, there is no need for those who have actually been to Tianming Pavilion to come again. Those who wander around nearby on weekdays are people who have not been in.
Moreover, it is not yet opening time this morning. Now everyone outside the door is waiting for Tianming Pavilion to open. It is still unknown who will be lucky enough to get in.
At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere.
"This talisman was indeed drawn by me."
Everyone's spirits perked up, and they all looked towards the intersection between the restaurant and the dim sum shop.
Sure enough, after a moment, the air there began to ripple slightly like water waves, and a slim figure magically walked out of the ripples.
"Hiss... Is this... the real Master Qingyun?"
"It can't be wrong! Didn't you hear her just say that she drew the talisman?"
"That's right, that's right, that must be it, the talismans of Tianming Pavilion are all made by the Pavilion Master!"
"The master is really as beautiful as the legend says, a woman as beautiful as a fairy from heaven!"
"Master! I have something to ask for your help, please help me..."
The crowd was in a commotion for a moment, and after they were sure that this was Master Qingyun himself, they suddenly rushed forward.
But before the situation got out of control, the fairy-like girl suddenly stepped on her foot.
"quiet!"
The sound was as pleasant as a clear spring, but everyone felt as if a thunder had exploded in their minds. The air suddenly became so heavy that people could not straighten their backs, and even the ground shook violently.
Everyone within a radius of ten feet felt their hearts pounding and stopped moving, just staring at the throes of fear.
Ordinary people did not understand what coercion was, but at this moment they truly realized how awe-inspiring Master Qingyun was.
The scene finally quieted down. Yun Qingqing looked at the thin and dark man who was causing the trouble and said calmly:
"You are just an ordinary person. I will not use my power to suppress you. I will give you a chance to defend yourself."
"This talisman was indeed made by me. You keep saying that I am a liar, but do you have any evidence?"
The dark and thin man was so frightened by her just now that his face turned pale and he almost wanted to retreat.
But seeing that her face was calm and she said such words, he suddenly realized that this was the most prosperous street in the capital!
Tianming Pavilion has always had an impeccable reputation and absolutely cannot allow any stains that could cause doubt!
Therefore, as long as I confront her on the street, I will be absolutely safe!
Thinking of this, the dark and thin man calmed down, raised the talisman in his hand and said angrily:
"Since I brought this amulet home, nothing has gone smoothly! What kind of evidence do you want? Am I not the most obvious witness here?"
"If your talisman is useful, I will be grateful to you. Is there any need for me to come to you to seek justice?"
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly and said calmly:
"Then tell me, what was the purpose of asking for this talisman in the first place, and what happened after you took it back?"
The man was waiting for her to say this, and immediately began to accuse:
"We are an honest and modest family, but we are unlucky. We have bad neighbors everywhere we live! I can't stand it anymore, so I came to Tianming Pavilion to try my luck and see if I can make those bad neighbors get their comeuppance and stop harassing my family!"
"When I was able to enter the Tianming Pavilion, even though I didn't meet Master Qingyun, I was happy just because I drew lots and got a talisman. After all, so many people said that your talisman is effective, and I didn't doubt it at all."
"The girl under your command told me that this talisman depicts a mythical beast. If you stick it on the most popular spot in your home, it will protect your family and their safety. This talisman can also punish those evil people who harass us!"
"Of course I did it immediately when I got back. I pasted this divine beast talisman in the hall. Everyone in the family has to pass through here every day. Master Qingyun, let me ask you a question now. Is there anything wrong with the talisman?"
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"No problem, it fits right there."
The dark and thin man felt more confident after hearing this and said loudly:
"You also said that there was nothing wrong with the affixation, but then a lot of bad things happened to my family and I almost lost my life. Isn't it that there is something wrong with the amulet itself?"
"Not to mention that it has no effect in protecting my home, it almost cost me my life!"
Yun Qingqing sneered:
"What happened? How did you almost lose your life?"
The man took a deep breath and began to recount the events one by one:
"On the first day of applying this talisman, my wife lost money when she went out to buy groceries. She has always been a careful person and this has never happened to her before. But she lost money on the first day of applying the talisman. Who would believe it was a coincidence?"
"On the night this talisman was applied, my six-year-old son suddenly got frightened in his sleep and screamed, scaring the whole family. When his grandfather heard the noise and rushed over, he fell and sprained his ankle and also hit his head. Not only did he spend a lot of money on medical treatment, but he also had to suffer for several days before he recovered!"
"Not only that, since that night, my son has not been able to sleep well every night and has nightmares all the time, disturbing the whole family. The doctor couldn't find the problem at all. This is clearly a curse!"
"But isn't that a divine beast talisman? If it is really effective, with a divine beast protecting your home, how could evil spirits enter your home and cause trouble?"
"Also, within just a few days, my wife cut her hand while cutting vegetables, my father took the wrong medicine and had vomiting and diarrhea, and my mother was almost hit by a carriage when she went out..."
"I was just skeptical when I said this, but what really made me realize that there was something wrong with this talisman was that day when I almost lost my life!"
The man said a lot, becoming more and more angry:
"That day, another evil neighbor came to my house to cause trouble. I was in court at the time. I wanted to have a good argument with him, but he had a fierce look on his face and wanted to attack my wife and children!"
"As a man, I naturally want to protect my wife and children. But when I passed by the wall with the talisman, I suddenly felt my head hit hard, and I heard a terrifying roar of a wild beast in my ears!"
"My eyes went dark, and when I woke up, I was already in bed, and saw my wife crying beside me."
"She said she was almost scared to death. I suddenly fell to the ground and lost consciousness. I didn't even breathe!"
The man finished speaking in one breath, then turned to the crowd and said:
"Today I will take my own experience as a warning and tell you all the truth about it. Please judge for yourself!"
"I am an ordinary person living an ordinary life, but suddenly I suffered so many disasters, and it all started from putting this talisman at home!"
"Tell me, is there something wrong with this talisman?"
Although this person was noisy, his speech was clear and logical, and every word was distinct. Everyone was mesmerized by what they heard, and only came to their senses at this moment and started to talk among themselves.
"Hiss... If that's the case, it seems like this talisman is indeed not right."
"But this kind of thing... If it was another charlatan's talisman, it wouldn't be surprising, but Master Qingyun has always been highly respected, how could he possibly send out a talisman that would harm others?"
"But you listened to him so carefully, it doesn't seem like he could have made it up..."
"Don't make blind guesses. Isn't Master Qingyun confronting us face to face? Let's hear what the master has to say."
"Yes! Master Qingyun, please give us a word. We believe you must have a reason, right?"
"Master, what is going on? Everyone is waiting for your explanation!"
Yun Qingqing raised her hand to suppress the commotion of the crowd and looked at the man seriously:
"Let me ask you a question first. Regarding the talisman in your hand, are you sure you listened carefully to my subordinates' explanation? Do you really understand the effect of this talisman?"
The man said urgently:
"What do you mean? Did I hear it wrong? She clearly said that the divine beast on the talisman protects our home and punishes those who want to harm us!"
Yun Qingqing curled her lips without a smile:
"My men should have told you the name of the beast on this talisman. Do you still remember it?"
The man hesitated for a moment, frowned and thought:
"What's its name? Why are you asking? Can my inability to remember the name of this so-called divine beast be used as a reason to harm people? You, Tianming Pavilion, didn't tell me that I had to remember its name! I'm sure of that!"
"There is no such rule. The problem is not with the name. I just confirmed one thing." Yun Qingqing said calmly.
"Cold jade."
As she called out, the air behind her suddenly rippled again, and a girl came out and bowed to her.
"Pavilion Master."
Yun Qingqing said:
"It was you who explained this talisman to him that day. Today, repeat what you explained to him that day so that everyone can hear it."
"Yes, sir."
