Chapter 29
——If the other party is also a liar, we will directly cause trouble for the Xie family.
——I think you can cause trouble for the Xie family now.
Chen Rong's eyes twitched when he realized the hidden meaning of Li Jianzhong's words. He was also a little confused at this moment. Obviously, he didn't expect that the "master" Song Qing was talking about was such a young... child.
What's the difference between this and having the word "liar" slapped on your face?
The most important thing is that when he went to Cheng Puyu for help because of Li Jianzhong, Cheng Puyu bluntly told him that he could barely beat ghosts and that such technical work should be done by professionals, and then he enthusiastically recommended the master he called super powerful.
Now Chen Rong began to doubt whether he really couldn't believe in ghost stories.
Just when both of them were silent, Li Jianzhong's wife looked carefully in the mirror and felt that the face looked more and more familiar.
Rong Jing happened to take the initiative to say hello: "Hello, my name is Rong Jing, and I am a Taoist priest from Xuantian Temple."
Mirror.
After hearing these two words, Li Jianzhong's wife suddenly realized what was going on and quickly asked, "I know you. Is the recent imprisonment of the Zhang family's youngest son related to you?"
The youngest son of the Zhang family?
Seeing Rong Jing's confused look, Song Qing knew that he didn't pay much attention to the Chang Tianrui incident.
Song Qing reminded: "The youngest son of the Zhang family is one of the wealthy young men involved in the Chang Tianrui incident."
Then he smiled at Li Jianzhong's wife and said, "Finding evidence and going to jail are all the police's credit. Our Master Rong just made a small calculation."
Li Jianzhong's wife learned about this because the young women in the company were discussing Rong Jing's extraordinary fortune-telling skills despite his young age. Like her husband, she had no fondness for Taoist priests and therefore did not pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, Master Rong appeared in front of her today.
She looked at her husband lying on the hospital bed, looking pitiful. Then she thought of the Chang Tianrui incident, bit her lip, and as if she had spent a lot of effort to make up her mind, she asked tentatively: "Old Li, how about giving it a try?"
Chen Rong had been wondering if Rong Jing could succeed, but when his sister-in-law mentioned the youngest son of the Zhang family, his eyes lit up like a light bulb. Then, the look he gave Rong Jing went from initial suspicion to intense enthusiasm.
He is different from Li Jianzhong's wife. The Zhang family used to be a partner of the Jiang family. Every time the two sides cooperated, the senior members of the Zhang family always looked arrogant, which made his eyes hurt. When he heard that the boy from the Zhang family was in trouble, he read the news without saying a word, with the intention of laughing at others.
However, the news at the time focused on Zhang's son being suspected of murder and drug-related crimes, but did not mention Rong Jing, one of the people involved in the case with a somewhat metaphysical color.
Now that he knew, he immediately took Li Jianzhong's hand and said, "Let this master see it."
Li Jianzhong: “…”
Not wanting to hear Li Jianzhong's rebuttal, Chen Rong politely poured a glass of water for Rong Jing and Song Qing, then asked Rong Jing, "Master, Special Assistant Song should have told you everything that happened to Old Li, right?"
Rong Jing nodded and looked at Li Jianzhong lying on the hospital bed.
Li Jianzhong looked old, around 48 years old. The series of bizarre experiences had left deep fatigue in his eyes.
Rong Jing observed his facial features. He was not as good as the several uncles in the Taoist temple in face reading, but he had his own way of identification.
His sight swept from the forehead to the neck, and Rong Jing's gaze fixed on her. He asked, "Can you show me the jade pendant around your neck?"
Li Jianzhong lowered his head slightly under the gaze of his friend and wife, took off the jade pendant and placed it in Rong Jing's hand. Rong Jing pinched the jade pendant and looked at it for a long while before saying, "No wonder he's still alive."
Li Jianzhong: “…”
Chen Rong leaned over and whispered, "Are you saying that the fact that Old Li survived all these misfortunes is related to this jade pendant?"
"Yes." Rong Jing nodded and returned the jade pendant. "It's a blessed magical instrument."
Consecrated instruments.
The combination of the two keywords surprised Li Jianzhong himself. He picked up the red string hanging from the jade pendant and stared at the auspicious cloud pattern on it, as if reminiscing: "This jade pendant was given to me by my aunt before the college entrance examination. It's been many years."
"Hey..." Li Jianzhong suddenly narrowed his eyes and held the jade pendant high. Coincidentally, the curtains were drawn at this moment, and sunlight penetrated the jade pendant and fell on the bed, allowing Li Jianzhong to clearly see the fine cracks inside the jade pendant. "Why does it seem to be broken inside?"
"Because I helped you avoid disaster." Rong Jing said truthfully, "If nothing unexpected happens, you will have a chance to be unlucky again."
Li Jianzhong: "...That's not necessary."
Although he is still alive after four bizarre encounters, concussion, drowning, falls and suffocation have left him with psychological trauma.
The feeling of being on the verge of death was not pleasant in itself, not to mention that he had experienced it four times in just a few days.
It's just that he's old and has encountered a lot of things, so his mentality is still good. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they might have collapsed and been admitted to a mental hospital before the jade pendant had used up all its power to ward off disasters.
"Master, is his situation difficult to deal with? How to solve it?" Chen Rong asked at the right time.
Rong Jing looked at the little kid who was huddled in the corner grinning, as if he had sensed danger.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that there's been a little ghost following him around lately, and the ghost's resentment has affected his aura, so that's why there's a problem." Rong Jing explained, "As long as I can catch the little ghost, everything will be fine."
Li Jianzhong: “…”
He finally discovered that every word Master Rong said shocked him.
Rong Jing didn't care about his expression. He walked forward and came to the corner.
The little ghost looked good, but was very fierce. His teeth were sharp, but the gaps between them were clean. He didn't look like a bad guy who would do many evil things. Rong Jing suddenly reached out, as if he had thought of something.
The little ghost sensed danger and bit Rong Jing's arm. Just as his teeth dug into his arm, Rong Jing slapped him in the face.
Rong Jing took the opportunity to pick it up and spin it around.
really.
This imp has a leaf mark on its back.
He took out a piece of talisman and stuck it on the little ghost. Rong Jing carried it back to the bedside and met two pairs of eyes filled with strange expressions.
It wasn't that Li Jianzhong and his wife were to blame. It was mainly because, in their eyes, Rong Jing inexplicably walked to the corner, inexplicably stretched out his hand, inexplicably patted the air, and then inexplicably walked in front of them with the posture of carrying something...
It does look abnormal.
Rong Jing noticed their looks, tilted his head and asked, "Want to see?"
"Can I see it?" Li Jianzhong asked politely.
To be honest, his attitude towards Rong Jing was still at the stage of suspicion. He hadn't given Rong Jing a cold shoulder for the sake of Chen Rong, Song Qing, and the Xie family, a testament to his years of self-cultivation. But Rong Jing's words and actions just now were like those of a liar.
...or patients with mental problems.
At this moment, for Li Jianzhong, the best way to confirm that Rong Jing was neither of the above two was to show him the so-called little ghost.
Rong Jing was very perceptive. As soon as he entered the room, he noticed that Li Jianzhong and his wife were very polite to him out of restraint, but they did not trust him.
He didn't mind, and since the customer had taken the initiative to ask for it, it wouldn't hurt to show it to them.
He took out the talisman and stuck it on the little ghost. In the blink of an eye, a black shadow appeared in Rong Jing's empty palm. Looking closely, the shadow was clearly a young man with his limbs tied up with ropes and the whole body curled into a ball. The exposed face looked ferocious and his pointed teeth looked extremely sharp, as if they could easily tear human skin.
Li Jianzhong and his wife suddenly lost all their voices.
Rong Jing looked at them, peeled off the talisman paper and put it back into his pocket.
It is not easy to draw a talisman. This talisman should be recycled if possible. It must not be wasted.
He is such a frugal little zombie.
The little ghost disappeared into thin air again, and Rong Jing began to count the money. "Although it's life-threatening for you, it's not too much trouble for me to handle. Can I charge you 8,800?"
Chen Rong asked curiously, "Can you still refuse?"
"Sure." Rong Jing looked at him with her dark eyes, revealing her eight big white teeth. "Let my little ghost come to collect the debt tomorrow."
Chen Rong laughed awkwardly: "...Haha, I was just kidding. I'll transfer the money to you."
"Don't." Li Jianzhong quickly grabbed Chen Rong's hand and smiled at Rong Jing, "I'll pay for it."
Now that things have come to a point where he has seen a ghost with his own eyes, if Li Jianzhong still doesn't believe Rong Jing, he thinks he can open his head to see if it is full of tofu dregs.
He exhaled and said to Rong Jing, "I'm really sorry. My family was once deceived by a swindler disguised as a Taoist priest, and my son was killed. So I may have some opinions about you, but this time I am really grateful."
Rong Jing also hated those scammers who tarnished the reputation of Taoist priests, so he asked, "Has the scammer been caught?"
"No, he ran away after he found out that my son could not be saved. My hometown is full of mountains, and he lost his trace after running into the mountains." Li Jianzhong still felt regretful and sad when talking about this incident.
Rong Jing patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Next time you see him, I'll help you teach him a lesson."
Li Jianzhong was stunned for a moment, then he smiled.
Although he is a master, his words do sound immature, as shown by Rong Jing's appearance.
When the incident happened, the police launched a large-scale search, but unfortunately, there was no result. Even when they had the best chance to find him, they still couldn't find him. Now that so many years have passed and China is such a big country, who knows what the scammer has become or where he has gone.
"In our profession, we believe that the laws of nature are cyclical, and good and evil will be punished. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet." Rong Jing saw his disappointment and argued, "So even if I didn't teach him a lesson, those who do evil will not have a good end."
Li Jianzhong took this as a consolation and responded with a smile: "Thank you for your good words."
Rong Jing comforted the man, collected the money, and then solicited business for himself. He handed out the business card that Song Qing had printed for him two days ago: "If you need anything in the future, you can always call me, or come to my house directly."
Chen Rong took the business card and subconsciously looked down at it. The business card looked very high-end, with a black and gold background.
He rubbed it with his fingers and exclaimed to Song Qing: "It looks very similar to your Mr. Xie's business card."
Song Qing pushed his glasses and smiled proudly.
Just kidding, this is a couple's pair he specially designed.
