Cuihong didn't know why the lady asked this, so she said, "I don't know either. I only know that the man has a great reputation and many people go to see him."
He thought of Su Qingyu's glory today, hardened her heart, gritted her teeth and said, "Find out how to find that person, and then take me there."
"No need to ask, I know where it is. I went there with my relatives, but they couldn't afford the money, so we came back." Xiuhong replied.
He heard that they could go directly, and He Shi became a little impatient. She couldn't wait to make Su Qingyu pay the price, but with her ability and status, it was too difficult to do anything to Su Qingyu.
If there really is an expert who can take Su Qingyu's life remotely, she would be willing to spend any amount of money.
He did not hesitate. She took all the banknotes she could gather and left the house with Xiuhong.
The place they went to was a secluded house in the east of the city, with the vermilion gate closed tightly.
Xiuhong went forward and knocked on the door. Soon a little Taoist boy opened the door and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Little Master, we want to find Master Zhang and ask him to do something for us." Xiuhong spoke here, even more politely and carefully than when she spoke to her master in the mansion, fearing that she would anger some god and be punished.
The Taoist boy looked at Xiuhong, then looked at He behind Xiuhong.
He said, "If you want to see the Heavenly Master, you must first pay twenty taels of silver."
Xiuhong was stunned. "Isn't it three taels of silver?"
She came here once last year. It’s only been a year, how come the price has increased to twenty taels?
Little did they know that the little Taoist boy was judging people by their appearance. Seeing that He was well-dressed and had a bitter look on her face, he knew that these people were not only rich but also had important requests. If he didn't take the opportunity to ask for more, what would they eat?
The little Taoist boy clasped his fists towards the upper right corner and said seriously, "We didn't take this silver. We gave it as a gift to the gods."
Xiuhong looked at He, who nodded. As long as it could avenge her, she would be willing to pay not only twenty taels, but even two hundred.
After paying the silver, the little Taoist boy led the two of them inside.
He looked around. This place was no different from an ordinary house and was quite tidy.
"The last time you and your relatives came here, your relatives couldn't afford the money, so they asked you for a lot of money to perform the ritual?" He asked Xiuhong in a low voice.
Xiuhong replied, "When we entered, they asked for three taels of silver. We couldn't afford it, so we didn't even come in. I don't know why, but this year the price has been raised to twenty taels."
He became increasingly uneasy, fearing that the other party's price would be too high for her to afford.
This man dared to ask for twenty taels of silver as soon as he entered the door, which shows that he is a capable person.
The more fearful I was, the more I felt that this was a master.
The little Taoist boy led the two men to the hall, and as soon as they entered, they both shuddered.
Inside the hall, three sides are lined with statues of gods, tall and majestic. Offerings are placed in front of the statues, and incense burners are burning.
There was a row of cushions on the ground, and a middle-aged man dressed in a green Taoist robe was sitting in the middle.
Seeing that this was indeed a place for Taoist practice, He dared not underestimate it.
He knelt on the ground and said, "Master, please help me."
Zhang Tianshi opened his eyes, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the little Taoist boy beside him. The little Taoist boy gestured to him. He was immediately delighted, knowing that a big fish had come today.
"Madam, please take a seat. If you have anything to say, please speak directly. There is no need to hide anything in front of the gods."
Xiuhong helped He kneel down opposite Zhang Tianshi.
He said, "Someone murdered my son, but I have no evidence. I'd like to ask the Heavenly Master to perform a ritual to make that person pay the price."
Zhang Tianshi had been a swindler for many years and had experienced everything. When he heard what He said, he said embarrassedly, "Madam, you are embarrassing me. I never do anything that harms the world."
He said hurriedly, "Master, this is not against the will of Heaven. That person is not a good person. Master, this is just for the sake of justice."
Zhang Tianshi stroked his beard upon hearing this. "Of course I believe what Madam says. But... I need to explain to my master above that the price I paid for seeking him out once was too high."
As he spoke, he pointed upwards and gave He a knowing look.
He became more and more convinced that this Zhang Tianshi was a man of great virtue.
"The Heavenly Master said that finding your master will cost a great price. What is that price?"
Zhang Tianshi pondered for a moment and said, "We need to buy some magical instruments, but the cost is too high. Madam, you should go back. I can neither earn money from you nor use this as an excuse to cheat you."
"Qingfeng, see you off."
The Taoist boy walked up to He and said, "Madam, please come in."
He took out the twenty taels of silver and said, "This silver is also a test for Madam. Madam, please take it back. Our family is a righteous god who has descended to the world. We do not accept silver."
As soon as the twenty taels of silver were handed over, He no longer had any doubts in her mind, and she also became more determined to seek help from Zhang Tianshi.
"Master, I believe you. You only need to tell me how much silver you need to buy the magic weapon, and I will figure out the rest."
Seeing that Zhang Tianshi was still hesitant, He said, "Tianshi, don't think too much. I'll pay you the money and ask for your help. If you are willing to help, I will be very grateful."
Zhang Tianshi sighed, "Since Madam is sincere in coming here, I will tell you everything I want. Buying those magical instruments will cost one thousand taels of silver."
Actually, one thousand taels of silver was not a small amount for He Shi. But she was afraid that Zhang Tianshi would go back on his word, so she immediately said, "No problem."
Zhang Tianshi almost bit his tongue when he heard "No problem." He cursed himself inwardly, wondering why he hadn't ordered more. This was clearly too little.
But now that everything has been said, it's hard to raise the price. I can only wait and see and find ways to make more money.
After He agreed to give him one thousand taels of silver, he asked again, "May I ask, Heavenly Master, how long will it take me to avenge myself after I give you the silver?"
Zhang Tianshi sat upright, counting on his fingers for a moment, and said, "This person's life span has not yet ended, so I cannot take her in. But I can make sure that after she dies, she will receive the punishment she deserves in the underworld."
He stared at Zhang Tianshi in astonishment. "Punishment after death? How long will it take? Can she be punished now?"
Zhang Tianshi shook his head. "Madam, you don't know that punishment after death is the real punishment. I can make her go down a mountain of knives and boil in a pot of oil. She will suffer such endless pain and will never be able to be reborn."
This was Zhang Tianshi's usual tactic. No one knew what happened after death, and he accepted the money without any burden. If he agreed to avenge her now, would he still kill someone?
Zhang Tianshi considers himself a man with a bottom line, and he will not do anything that would hurt or kill anyone.
He was slightly disappointed. She wanted to see Su Qingyu suffer a bitter end. Although being frying in oil after death would have been satisfying, she couldn't see it.
Besides, she couldn't see whether he was punished after death. But when she thought about the man's ability, her doubts dissipated a lot.
After much thought, she decided that this was the best solution. Since she had no other options for revenge, this was the best solution.
"I will give silver to the Taoist priest tomorrow. When will he start the ritual?" He asked.
Zhang Tianshi sent someone to bring paper and pen.
"Write down that person's date of birth."
