Chapter 18: Jade Buddha
The three of them went up to the private room on the top floor.
He Yuan glanced at Fu Ciyan behind Jiang Chu and recognized him as someone from the Fu family. "It turns out to be the Second Young Master Fu. I'm so sorry I didn't recognize him just now."
Although it was an apology, it revealed a condescending attitude.
Fu Ciyan: "I don't deserve it. Mr. He is the elder, and it is the junior who should apologize to you."
The He family is comparable to the Fu family, but He Yuan's status in the He family is basically equivalent to that of the head of the He family. Fu Ciyan, a powerless second young master, was able to get an apology from him because of Jiang Chu's face.
Although Fu Ciyan is a little naive, he comes from a noble family after all and cannot be faulted in his foreign policy.
Jiang Chu didn't like small talk, so he got straight to the point: "What happened to you?"
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Master Jiang." He Yuan's admiration for Jiang Chu increased a little more and he no longer hid it.
He took out something wrapped in talisman paper from his bag. Jiang Chu took it and wanted to open it directly, but He Yuan stopped him: "It contains a jade Buddha. It is filled with evil spirits. I spent a lot of effort to seal it."
It’s not that he doesn’t believe Jiang Chu, but this evil spirit is really too terrifying.
The He family had also looked for other Heavenly Masters, but they were all seriously injured by the things inside.
He Yuan originally wanted to wait until the next time he saw Jiang Chu to ask her for help, but he didn't expect to meet her today.
"No problem," Jiang Chu chuckled, "A little bit of evil spirit can't hurt me."
As the last talisman was peeled off, a black evil spirit rushed out and headed straight for Fu Ciyan's face.
Fu Ciyan, who had just been possessed by a ghost last night and could temporarily see ghosts, said: "What ghost!"
Jiang Chu quickly grabbed the black evil spirit and said in surprise, "This evil spirit knows how to bully the weak and fear the strong. It actually has its own thoughts."
He Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fu Ciyan was fine.
If something happened to the Fu family on the He family's territory, he would not be able to explain it clearly.
Jiang Chu took out a yellow talisman and absorbed the evil spirit into it, then frowned as he looked at the jade Buddha in his hand.
He Yuan asked cautiously, "Master Jiang, is the problem with this jade Buddha serious?"
"Look at this jade Buddha. Does it look familiar to you?" Jiang Chu sealed the jade Buddha casually and threw it to Fu Ciyan.
Fu Ciyan's pupils trembled when he saw the jade Buddha: "Why is this jade Buddha the same as the one my mother has?"
He Yuan's face darkened: "The Fu family also has it?"
Now the matter is no longer a simple supernatural event. This jade Buddha has appeared in two top families.
If anything goes wrong between the two families, Kyoto will be in chaos.
Jiang Chu also thought of this question: "Where did you find this jade Buddha?"
"It was brought back by the wife of the patriarch." He Yuan, "But the wife of the patriarch has been in a coma for five days because of this jade Buddha, and it seems that someone is trying to stop us from continuing our investigation, so we have no idea where this jade Buddha came from."
"So Madam Fu should be our only clue now."
Tao Wan showed it to them yesterday during dinner, so Fu Ciyan remembered it: "My mother's jade Buddha was given by Aunt Qingyue, also known as Madam Huang Sun Qingyue."
"But there's no reason for Aunt Qingyue to harm my mother, not to mention that she and Madam He have no connection."
Jiang Chu took the jade Buddha, carefully observed the formation inside, and finally came to a conclusion.
"These two jade Buddhas were made by the same person. If we check on Sun Qingyue, we should be able to find clues about the person behind this."
He Yuan immediately sent someone to the Huang family to investigate the matter.
Jiang Chu: "Bring me a piece of imperial green. I'll make a jade talisman to dispel evil spirits. Take it back to Madam He. Place it on your body for two hours and she'll wake up."
The imperial green was brought up quickly, and Jiang Chu completed a jade talisman in just a few strokes with the carving knife.
He Yuan said goodbye to Jiang Chu and gave him another two thousand yuan, then hurried back to the He family with the jade talisman.
The staff brought up all of Jiang Chu's jade and also gave him two pieces of imperial green.
Seeing Jiang Chu's confusion, the staff member said, "This is what Mr. He told me before he left. He said you would need these more than money."
Jiang Chu nodded and did not refuse: "Put it down."
After the staff left, only Fu Ciyan and Jiang Chu were left in the box.
Knowing that Tao Wan was carrying a time bomb, Fu Ciyan was so anxious that he was pacing around in the box: "Sister-in-law, what should we do now? Even if we tell her about the jade Buddha on my mother, she might not believe it."
"What's more, it was Aunt Sun who personally went to the temple to pray for her."
Jiang Chu looked at the jade Buddha in his hand and suddenly had an inspiration.
She was seen constantly changing gestures with her hands, muttering something to herself, her whole body moving without a breeze: "Form follows seal, objects are born from the mind; the five elements transform into qi, and replication becomes reality."
A dazzling light emanated from Jiang Chu's hand.
The light dissipated, and two identical jade Buddhas appeared in Jiang Chu's hands.
Fu Ciyan was so shocked that he couldn't speak. This was no longer metaphysics, it was magic.
There was no concept of cultivating immortals at that time, otherwise Fu Ciyan would definitely ask Jiang Chu whether he was cultivating Taoism or cultivating immortals.
Jiang Chu picked up one of them and gave it to him: "Find a chance to exchange this with the jade Buddha on your mother. Remember to do it by tomorrow."
"The seal I placed yesterday will only last for three days."
Fu Ciyan was full of confidence: "I guarantee to complete the task!"
Jiang Chu asked him to wait for a while and took out the stone that he had placed in the space before.
Controlling the temperature of the sun's true fire, it melts the outer stone coating bit by bit, revealing the inky jade inside.
Jiang Chu took it in his hand and observed it carefully and quickly recognized it.
Jiang Chu had also obtained this piece of black jade in her previous life, but she helped a private collector and spent another five million to get it. This time, it fell into her hands so easily.
And because the black jade has not been cut yet, its spirituality is best preserved.
After Jiang Chu took back the black jade, he picked up the carving knife and began to carve formations on other jade stones.
After a while, Jiang Chu made nine jade talismans. He put away eight of them and gave one to Fu Ciyan: "This jade talisman can save your life nine times. If the situation is too critical, I can appear by your side at the first moment."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Fu Ciyan quickly put the jade talisman away. The moment he got it in his hand, he felt a lightness on his shoulders.
Jiang Chu: "This jade talisman can also drive away ghosts. You don't have to worry about being scared by ghosts anymore."
Thinking about it, Jiang Chu took out another talisman and gave it to him: "This is for Su Hua. It can dispel the remaining evil spirits from last night. Otherwise, he won't be able to sleep well these days and will attract some unclean things."
Fu Ciyan was so moved: "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful and kind-hearted. I want to be your little brother for life."
The work was done, and the two returned to the Fu family.
When leaving, Jiang Chu asked the staff to tell He Yuan: See you at Xuanwu Hall tomorrow at noon.
One night should be enough for the He family to find out about the Huang family.
There is an evil-gathering formation inside the He family's jade Buddha. As the name suggests, it is a formation that can gather evil energy. If ordinary people are invaded by evil energy, they may suffer from serious illness at best, or even die at worst.
And the one in Tao Wanyu's Buddha statue is a lucky charm array.
Different from large-scale formations such as the Seven-Nine Fortune-Transferring Formation, the one in the Jade Buddha is the Three-Nine Fortune-Transferring Formation, which is divided into a sub-formation and a mother formation.
The sub-array will continuously provide luck to the mother array, so the person who gave Tao Wan the jade Buddha probably also had such a jade Buddha in his hand.
I just don't know whether that person did it intentionally or unintentionally.
