After a cup of tea, the housekeeper hurried back.
"Madam, I gave some silver to the Taoist priest, but he refused to accept it. Seeing that you are so kind and generous, he is determined to get rid of the evil spirits in the mansion for us, and he will not take a penny." After meeting the old Taoist priest, the housekeeper saw that he turned a blind eye to gold and silver, which showed that he was truly an otherworldly master.
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she was somewhat moved.
The maidservant beside her said, "Madam, if you don't let him in, just take a look. If he is really your benefactor, you will not miss him. Even if he is not, there is no need to give him money, and it will not cause any loss to the mansion."
Mrs. Xie saw that what she said was correct, and said to the housekeeper, "Bring him in."
The housekeeper hurried to the door and warmly welcomed Shangqing Zhenren into the mansion.
Bei Yutang played the role of the sage Shangqing, and the woman outside the mansion was played by Qian Zhiliu. After Bei Yutang entered the mansion, he looked straight ahead, showing the demeanor of a great man.
When he saw Mrs. Xie, he performed a Taoist salute to her.
"Shangqing Zhenren, please take a seat."
Bei Yutang didn't sit down. Instead, he said to Madam Xie, "Madam Xie, I see your forehead is black, and you've been plagued by foul energy for years. According to your current fortune, you would have died soon. But today, there seems to be a hint of life between your eyebrows, which has increased your luck and can break the bad luck that has been entangled with you."
When everyone heard the first half, their faces turned very ugly, even Mrs. Xie. But when she heard the second half, Mrs. Xie's heart trembled.
"Madam, that ray of life between your eyebrows is the energy of new life, which you have long wished for. Unfortunately, that new life energy is entangled by the misfortune of the mansion, and it has yet to be released. The evil energy that has been lingering in the mansion may not be obvious in the early years, but over the years, it has shortened the lifespans of those within the mansion. If it is not eliminated soon, the mansion will inevitably be struck by disaster."
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she was shocked.
Every word this Taoist priest said hit the nail on the head for the child. It was rare that he was his benefactor.
Mrs. Xie already believed Bei Yutang to a degree. After all, a master had previously predicted that she would soon receive help from a noble person. Now, one of them was about to arrive, and the information was related to the child, so the two were connected.
"Master Taoist, you said that I haven't been able to get pregnant for many years because there is an evil spirit in the mansion?" Mrs. Xie asked with a slightly trembling voice.
"That's right. The evil spirit previously affected the people in the mansion, and as it grew stronger, it has begun to affect the lives of everyone in the mansion. Just now, I passed by the mansion gate and looked above the mansion. I saw a dark cloud covering it, constantly hindering the people in the mansion and the fortune of the master family. It will soon threaten the lives of the master family."
"I see that Madam's face shows signs of great wealth and honor, but she has been suppressed by an evil spirit, causing her to remain motionless for a long time and even showing signs of decline."
When these words were spoken, Mrs. Xie was horrified.
She couldn't help but think that over the past decade or so, the master had had several opportunities for promotion, but either that incident or other things happened, which prevented him from being promoted.
Now it seems that her family is really oppressed by evil spirits, which has affected the descendants of the family and the future of the master.
At this time, Mrs. Xie was completely convinced by the Taoist priest in front of her.
