Chapter 518 Ying Zijing: I can cripple you with ease [1st update]
But the master they consulted said that as long as the borrowed luck was still there, Li Wenxuan's luck would only get better and better, and such bad luck would never happen again.
And that has indeed proven to be true.
Since the start of the "borrowing luck" program, Li Wenxuan achieved twice the usual score in the high school entrance examination that year and successfully entered the affiliated high school of the Imperial University.
But the master also said that borrowing luck cannot change too much.
Li Wenxuan didn't like studying. Not only that, he also frequently got into fights, skipped classes, and bullied girls.
The reason I haven't been expelled is because of the nine-year compulsory education system.
Therefore, even though he got into the Imperial University Affiliated High School by luck, he was expelled halfway through his first semester of high school.
Imperial University Affiliated High School doesn't need this kind of trashy student.
Later, Li's parents had no choice but to spend money to send Li Wenxuan to a private high school.
However, the Li family's financial situation was not good. If Li Wenxuan hadn't won the lottery, his parents wouldn't have been able to support themselves.
At first, Li's mother was worried that borrowing luck might affect Li Han, after all, Li Han was her daughter.
Later she found that there was nothing seriously wrong, and Li Han was still very outstanding.
Li's mother was relieved that her son and daughter had been doing well for the past three years.
Nobody expected this to happen.
Father Li was also very flustered: "I'll go and invite Master Lou over to ask what's going on."
His son is his life; what would he do without him?
"Why are you calling some fortune teller now?" Mother Li snatched the phone from Father Li's hand. "Call 120!"
**
Not long after leaving the Li family, Li Han received another phone call from Li's mother.
She hung up immediately and added him to her blacklist.
As a result, when I woke up the next day, my phone had received hundreds of calls, all from unknown numbers.
Li Han didn't need to investigate; he knew it must be his mother calling again.
She ignored them all, blocked them all, put on her coat, and went to meet Ying Zijing.
The two met at a coffee shop in the city center.
After ordering two cups of coffee, Ying Zijing hailed a taxi and went to the ancestral home of the fifth family.
Li Han looked up and saw the simple and elegant plaque. He asked with great interest, "Is this a tourist attraction?"
“No.” Ying Zijing pushed open the door. “It’s just a private residence.”
The fifth family's ancestral home was indeed well-chosen.
She can break the cycle of borrowing luck here without any negative impact.
After all, borrowing luck isn't that difficult; any fortune teller with real skills can do it.
Ying Zijing sat down at the stone table and spread out the tarot cards once again.
After selecting the cards, she looked up and said, "The one who borrowed the luck is Li Wenxuan, your younger brother."
“Junior Sister Ying, you said the other day that you needed to know my birth chart to borrow my luck, and I already knew who it was.” Hearing this, Li Han took a deep breath, “They called me more than a hundred times today, so I confirmed it.”
If Li's mother is making so many calls to her, it must mean that something has happened to Li Wenxuan.
In Li Han's memory, Li Wenxuan was indeed not very lucky since childhood.
I'm the kind of person who gets knocked out by bumping into trees while walking on the street, and I've been to the hospital many times.
Li Han added, "Li Wenxuan doesn't understand these things; it must have been arranged by my parents."
Ying Zijin nodded slightly, then chose a card: "Do your parents have a throne to inherit?"
Li Han sneered, quite disdainfully: "Do they even deserve a throne? Their combined inheritance isn't even as much as my one year's scholarship."
Since she went to university and moved out, and became able to take care of herself, she has never returned to the Li family home.
She truly never expected that her parents would lend her luck to Li Wenxuan without considering her life or death at all.
Li Han's eyes were cold and fierce.
Ying Zijin seemed to see through her thoughts: "Perhaps your parents don't know that you can't keep borrowing luck forever."
"Tsk, impossible. They'd be more than willing to sacrifice me for their son." Li Han clicked his tongue. "Anyway, if they want to take care of themselves in their old age, they can rely on their son. I won't give them a single penny, even if they beg me."
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then lit an incense stick and inserted it into the incense burner.
“Junior Sister Ying, actually I’m not so bad off.” Li Han said calmly, “There was a girl in my old village who was much worse off. She didn’t even have a younger brother, only a cousin. Her father told her not to think about asking the family for a single penny.”
"The preference for sons over daughters is the prevailing social custom in our village. There's nothing we can do about it. Luckily, I managed to escape."
Ying Zijin didn't speak, but dipped her finger in water and drew a pattern similar to the Bagua diagram on the stone table.
Three minutes later, the incense in the incense burner burned out.
"Alright." Ying Zijing stopped what she was doing. "From now on, no one will be able to borrow your luck anymore."
Li Han was stunned: "That's it?"
“Borrowing luck isn’t difficult; all you need is to know the birth date and time.” Ying Zijin leaned back in her chair, looking languid. “Of course, someone who can borrow luck is indeed a true fortune teller.”
Divination is a mysterious art, yet there are patterns to follow.
Using the birth date and time as a basis, a simple formation is set up, and the formation lasts for one year.
Li Han's luck was borrowed for three years, and the formation was changed several times.
Each time it gets worse than the last.
If she's not mistaken, the formation will be changed again at the end of the year.
After the change, all of Li Han's remaining luck will be taken away by Li Wenxuan.
That's why death was inevitable.
Ying Zijing pondered for a while, then stood up.
Li Han looked up: "Junior Sister Ying, where are you going?"
“Go see that master.” Ying Zijing held her phone and sent a WeChat message. “Don’t leave here before I get back, Senior Li.”
Li Han nodded obediently: "Okay."
She watched the girl leave, and then, inadvertently, caught a glimpse of another young girl.
Li Han paused.
Why does it seem like she sees the charlatan who tricked her a month ago?
**
Outside the fifth ancestral home.
"I'm so angry!" Fifth Month also figured out what had happened to Li Han. "Miss, I'm going to manipulate that girl's parents' birth charts to show them what the wickedness of the world is!"
Ying Zijin glanced at her: "They didn't do the borrowing of luck. They're just ordinary people. Do you want to get into trouble by doing this?"
Ordinary people, using ordinary methods.
There's no need to get involved.
May muttered to herself, then abandoned the idea: "So who is this so-called master?"
Ying Zijing tossed the tarot cards aside, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly: "East, on Jade Pine Mountain."
"Jade Pine Mountain?" Fifth Month was taken aback. "Ah, I know Jade Pine Mountain. Many fortune tellers gather there, and several members of the Feng Shui Alliance also go."
“There’s one today, and they even invited my grandpa and me, but we weren’t really interested.”
Ying Zijing hummed in agreement: "That's why I called you along."
The fortune-telling world today is very different from what it used to be. Fortune-telling families have basically disappeared, leaving only the fifth family.
Since Wu Yue finally entered the Dao, Wu Chuan has also taken her to meet many other fortune tellers in the divination world.
Therefore, May is quite famous now.
The managers of Yusong Mountain also knew Fifth Month. Seeing that she was with a girl wearing a mask, they didn't ask any questions and let her through directly.
Halfway up the mountain, there was a garden where many people, young and old, gathered.
Fifth Month glanced at the group of people chatting and laughing, and lowered her voice: "Miss, who is this?"
Ying Zijing raised her eyes and fixed her gaze on an old man, saying calmly, "Lou Wenhai."
"Lou Wenhai?" Fifth Month exclaimed in surprise, "It was actually him?"
What about him?
“My grandfather said that Lou Wenhai has his own school of thought and countless disciples. He is very strong in divination, and the ancient martial arts world has even hired him.”
“Because my grandfather doesn’t come out of seclusion much, Lou Wenhai is actually more famous than him now.” Fifth Month scratched his head. “No wonder there are so many people here today, they must be here for Lou Wenhai.”
Ying Zijing didn't ask any more questions, she just said, "Let's go."
The fifth month will follow immediately.
Ahead, the old man was surrounded by a group of young people, who were talking at length about knowledge related to divination.
This is Lou Wenhai.
He is seventy-two years old this year and is highly respected.
"Master Lou, may I ask about that birth chart..."
"Master Lou, there's one more thing I'd like to ask about the house."
Master Lou stroked his beard as he spoke, clearly enjoying the flattery.
A clear, gentle voice rang out; it wasn't loud, but it was very distinct.
"When you understand these things, you can say you can do divination."
"..."
All sounds suddenly fell silent.
Many people turned around and frowned when they saw that it was a girl whose face was not visible.
Newcomer?
But how dare a newcomer provoke Lou Wenhai?
Master Lou is used to being praised, and he has never met anyone who would say such things about him.
Especially since she was just a little girl.
Master Lou turned his head, his face instantly darkening: "I'm not qualified to do divination? You're saying I'm not qualified to do divination?"
"Do you know what the Eight Trigrams, the Book of Changes, and the Plum Blossom Divination are?!"
“I have read the Tui Bei Tu eighty-eight times and can recite it backwards. I have read the Qiong Tong Bao Jian sixty-six times. If you give me just one word, I can tell you which section it is.”
"I have thoroughly understood 'The Divine Physiognomy in Ma Yi,' and the book that these newly initiated fortune tellers are using is the one I compiled!"
Master Lou took a step forward with each sentence he spoke.
He was aggressive and imposing.
"The Mu family in the capital city in the last century invited me to look at the feng shui of their ancestral home." Master Lou said arrogantly, "Famous directors and producers in the entertainment industry also asked me to calculate their birth charts."
"I, Lou Wenhai, entered the Daoist path at the age of six. Among the five deficiencies and three lacks, I chose the lack of power. To this day, I have never made a mistake in the art of divination. They respectfully call me Master Lou!"
Master Lou sneered repeatedly: "And you? What skills do you have? I bet you can't even recite the Book of Changes! And you dare to say I can't do divination?"
"Little girl, you don't know your place!"
There is indeed such a saying in the art of feng shui divination.
It is said that the older the master, the higher his divination ability, and the more respect he receives.
Lou Wenhai has been in the fortune-telling circle for decades, and has long been famous and respected by many people.
"I don't have any special abilities." Ying Zijing's eyes were calm and clear as snow. She smiled lightly. "I can still strip you of all your luck."
Every cause has an effect.
Li Han helped her with the experiment, and she helped Li Han undo the borrowed luck.
Lou Wenhai was the one who set up the luck-borrowing formation.
Now that the seed has been planted, she can take action.
Upon hearing this, Master Lou scoffed and laughed: "Luck? What do you know about luck? Throughout history, there has only been the concept of borrowing luck, not stripping luck."
"If you don't understand divination, don't embarrass yourself here. Who invited her in? Make her leave right now!"
Today is a gathering of fortune tellers and their younger relatives. Among these fortune tellers, Master Lou is indeed one of the top experts.
The others were also somewhat angry, their expressions mocking.
"Little girl, you mustn't anger Master Lou. If he tampers with your birth chart, your life will be miserable."
"That's right. Who is this girl's master? Master Lou can silence her master with just one word."
Diviners like Lou Wenhai do indeed possess such abilities.
With a simple change, a person can be made poor for the rest of their life.
Therefore, the NOK forum has always held this theorem: if the number of fortune tellers could form a ranking, it would be the most terrifying hunter.
It's much scarier than a poison master.
"Fine, since you won't leave, I'll let you go." Master Lou's eyes were like torches, his sharp gaze blazing.
"Sizzle!"
In his hand, a wooden sword was drawn from its scabbard and aimed directly at the girl.
Ying Zijing gently raised her hand and stopped Master Lou's wooden sword with just two fingers.
She clearly wasn't using any force, but the wooden sword remained completely still, unable to advance an inch.
At this moment, Master Lou's expression finally changed, and he blurted out, "You—"
His wooden sword is no ordinary wooden sword.
Even ordinary martial arts practitioners couldn't withstand it.
How could this be...?
Ying Zijing raised her eyes and said calmly, "The battle begins."
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in.
