Chapter 84 Bell
"Don't worry." Lu Qiu listened to the other party's earnest tone and felt helpless, "I know the severity of the situation. I won't do that."
Xia Wange looked at him with some suspicion in her eyes.
Lu Qiu had no choice, after all, he also had a criminal record. After thinking about it, he held his breath and concentrated, took something to pierce his index finger, squeezed out two drops of blood, and put each drop on one of the eyes of the white jade fox. Suddenly, a magical thing happened, the blood did not flow down the smooth jade surface, but stayed there firmly.
Before Lu Qiu could observe carefully, Xia Wange used two pieces of talisman paper to seal the white jade fox with lightning speed.
Then she looked at Lu Qiu again. Only after she realized that there was really no bad luck this time did Xia Wange breathe a sigh of relief and patted Lu Qiu on the shoulder. "Old Lu, you did a good job this time. Keep up the good work."
After encouraging him, Xia Wange immediately placed the jade fox in the center of the bridge.
"Mission accomplished." Xia Wange clapped his hands.
"Oh, this is the art of sealing qi. This is the first time I've seen someone control qi so skillfully."
"No wonder, no wonder the nobleman's original collapse was stopped. It turned out that Master Xia used the skill of transforming qi to direct the qi to the person whose luck was hooked. This not only blocked the nobleman's self-punishment, but also protected the stability of the bridge. It was ingenious, ingenious!"
"I don't know if it's because your blood is too powerful or if this jade fox has become a spirit. When you touched its eyes, I saw it almost broke out of the cage."
“They should all be available.”
Amid the continuous praise from the crowd, the person in charge said weakly: "Master, can this thing only be placed here? Can I put it in a stainless steel box and then hang it up or put it under the bridge? It's not safe to put this thing directly here with cars coming and going."
"Okay, but I have to put it there myself. I don't know..."
"Master, wait a minute. I'll call someone to fix it right away. It will take an hour at most." The person in charge said hurriedly, "It will only take an hour. Master, please wait a moment."
Xia Wange nodded.
The rest of the things were not very meaningful. It was nothing more than Xia Wange putting the jade fox paperweight in an iron box and watching it hang up. There was no technical content involved, so Xia Wange asked everyone to disperse and she would just watch here.
Many masters are old and have the will but not the strength. They want to see more skills but cannot stay up all night, so they say goodbye to Xia Wange in twos and threes and leave with at most one apprentice. Only a few masters who are still in their prime are waiting on the bridge, wanting to see it all and see more.
Du Yun was dragged by his good friend and the person in charge to help send people off. Although these masters were not as powerful as Xia Wange, they were all capable people, and naturally it was not easy to offend them.
Xia Wange was also a little bored, so she was ready to run over to Lu Qiu and hang out with him, praising him for not bringing any bad luck to her even though he had just pierced his finger, and hoping that he would keep up the good work and stick to his original intention.
Just as he was thinking about what to say to lay the foundation for doing something even more dishonest in the future, Sister Dou came over and said to Xia Wange, "Master Xia, when I was in the underworld just now, my fairy also observed the area around Master Li. My fairy told me that problems like this bridge that occur at irregular intervals may be caused by some evil spirit or extremely dark things being triggered at an indeterminate time."
Xia Wange looked at her, frowned slightly, and repeated: "Triggered at an uncertain time?"
Sister Dou nodded. "My daughter Xian'er said that sometimes they used to set up a stage to perform operas, and someone would collect money. The person collecting the money would wear a bell on his foot or hand, which would make a jingling sound when he moved it. Although the sound was not loud, it was also a reminder. So my daughter Xian'er said that maybe when the bridge was repaired and the river was widened, the bell was dug out and then sank into the mud. Sometimes when the tide rises, the water flow just makes the bell ring."
"Generally, for things like this, the rich ones pay money and the poor ones pay for the show. Nowadays, people don't carry money with them, and most of them don't have anything valuable. Even if they do carry money, it's not copper coins or silver, so they are dragged to pay for the show."
Xia Wange suddenly realized, "So there is such a thing. This involves my blind spot."
Sister Dou said hurriedly, "My Xian'er said that not all opera stages have the same rules. Some directly ask for money by beating gongs and drums. She told me about this because she had seen such an opera stage before. And when I went to call Master Li just now, my Xian'er looked around and saw that there was indeed no one collecting money. That's why she thought this was possible."
"Even if it's not a bell, it must be something that can ring. Only when it rings will something bad happen. Master Xia, you are very capable. If you know the direction, you will definitely be able to find it after some time. Such a powerful evil object is only safe in your hands. I didn't tell you because there were so many people around."
Xia Wange nodded, looking thoughtful.
Indeed, this kind of thing that can affect people with just a sound is indeed very dangerous. It is not appropriate to let others know about it. Moreover, she just needs this kind of thing to restrain the purple energy on Lu Qiu's body. Now she is just using this jade fox to distribute it little by little. She doesn't know how many people she has to distribute it to before Lu Qiu's leg can recover to the knee. According to the probability of it taking a sound at an irregular time, it will take a long time.
After saying this, Sister Dou left without delaying Xia Wange's thoughts.
She didn't avoid Lu Qiu when she spoke, so Lu Qiu heard it clearly. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked, "When are you going to look for her?"
After that, he quickly said, "Remember to call me if you go looking for it. You said I have better luck, so I should be able to find it quickly."
Xia Wange's eyes moved slightly, she pursed her lips, looked at Lu Qiu, looked straight into his eyes, lowered her voice and said, "Who said I'm going to look for someone? Isn't it good to keep it like this? If this matter is not resolved, the people who are attracted will keep appearing, and then your extra purple energy will keep filling them up, which is good for you. And there is no loss to passers-by, isn't it good to keep the status quo?"
