Chapter 492: Chapter 484: Destiny Changes

When Si Lengyue’s incident happened, Qin Liuxi was listening to Mrs. Wang discussing the arrangements for the New Year when she suddenly felt something and stood up.

“What’s the matter?”

Qin Liuxi rapidly calculated with her fingers, she was calculating Si Lengyue’s birth dates, her fate had changed.

“Mother, I have an urgent matter and need to travel far away. I’m afraid I won’t be able to spend the New Year at home.”

Mrs. Wang was somewhat astonished, “So sudden?”

Qin Liuxi nodded and said, “It’s a matter of life and death. Also, there’s no need to attend the Ding family’s annual event, going there would only give them a favor. You don’t need to worry about the Daoist Temple either, I will talk to my master. And yes, if the Yu Family and Master Tang send invitations, you can go with others if you like; I mean, grandmother is ill anyway, not going doesn’t matter. We will have plenty of opportunities to socialize with these families later.”

Mrs. Wang agreed.

“Also, Master Tang has taken Qin Xiaowu as his student, remember to have him go and give New Year’s greetings.”

Mrs. Wang was stunned, “When did this happen? Chun’er never mentioned it.”

“He’s a bit simple-minded, probably didn’t take it seriously. This also happened a while ago, just keep it in mind,” Qin Liuxi didn’t forget to take a jab at her younger brother.

After giving a few quick instructions, she hurriedly returned to her own courtyard, and upon entering, she spoke to the female ghost on the wall, “Go call Feng Xu to meet me.”

Seeing her anxious demeanor, Qi Huang couldn’t help but ask, “Master, what is it?”

“There might be trouble at Si Lengyue’s side, I need to go there. I won’t be able to spend the New Year at home. I’m not here, you take care of Wang Chuan, I’m taking Teng Zhao with me.” Qin Liuxi first went to the Medicine House, took out the medicine she had prepared days before, and packed up everything that had been ready in a basket.

She feared she might have to cure Si Lengyue from that Blood Curse.

After packing everything needed, she stepped out of the Medicine House and went to dig up Little Ginseng Spirit.

“What’s happening, not letting me cultivate anymore?” Little Ginseng Spirit cried out as she dug him up.

“Raised you for a hundred days, using you at one moment, give me your body.”

Little Ginseng Spirit, frightened, clung to himself, “You, you are thinking of molesting me? I perform but don’t sell my body!”

“You have no art to sell,” Qin Liuxi glared at him. “But how do you know these words? Has that Old Fox taken you to mess around?”

Little Ginseng Spirit, somewhat embarrassed, said, “Just went to see the brothel once.”

Qin Liuxi grabbed him and gave a rough pull, “You are a thousand-year-old ginseng, going to such filthy places, aren’t you worried about your spiritual energy getting contaminated, still wanting to transform? Let your brain grow first.”

Little Ginseng Spirit screamed in pain, touching the wound where a thick leg had been pulled off, and shouted for help.

The moment Feng Xu walked in, he sensed trouble and turned to flee.

Qin Liuxi didn’t even turn around, “If you dare leave, I’ll kill you!”

Feng Xu stopped, “What has Little Ginseng Spirit done to you? This ignorant ginseng, deal with him!”

Little Ginseng Spirit: When we were watching the ladies together, we were good friends, now you throw me under the bus, you’re not human!

Qin Liuxi turned her head, “If you take him to those dirty places again, and his spiritual energy gets contaminated, I’ll kill you.”

Feng Xu felt somewhat guilty and said, “I’m not foolish, I put a barrier around him; he didn’t touch a bit of filth, don’t worry.”

He certainly knew that the cultivation of Ginseng Spirit was not easy, any tainted aura would affect its spiritual energy, he would definitely protect it.

Qin Liuxi snorted and took out the Jade Box to pack the ginseng leg into the basket.

Feng Xiu glanced at the basket and asked, “What’s the hurry that you called me here for?”

“Remember the girl from the Si Family’s Witch Clan I mentioned? Her fate has changed, and she might need to be cured. Where are the things I asked you to bring? Come with me just in case.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiu said sourly, “Is the girl very pretty? You seem so anxious.”

Qin Liuxi thought for a moment and nodded seriously, “Yes, she is quite beautiful.”

Feng Xiu, angered, retorted, “I’m not going! I’m jealous!”

“Want to try saying that again?” Qin Liuxi glared back.

Feng Xiu: “We’re leaving now? Let’s go early and return early.”

Their thousand years of cultivation were deemed lost in face of jealousy!

Qin Liuxi replaced the jade pieces in the Little Ginseng Spirit’s nest, which immediately made the pitiful Little Ginseng Spirit shut its mouth and stop howling.

She then spoke a few words with Wang Chuan, and amidst the endless resentful energy from the young girl, she took Teng Zhao and Feng Xiu, and using the Yin Road, first went to Qingping Temple to fetch some items and inform Master Chi Yuan.

Master Chi Yuan looked solemn and said, “Karmic Fire can burn away all sins and objects. Be careful; once the sin and resentful aura vanish, immediately contain it and do not play with fire frivolously.”

Qin Liuxi was intrigued and asked with a slant, “Old man, you seem particularly afraid of my using this Karmic Fire. Why is that? Could it be that I’ve done something abhorrent with it?”

Master Chi Yuan replied, “Karmic Fire moves with the heart. I’m afraid that you’ll go too far, burning everything beyond recovery. Then, no amount of merit you perform could compensate.”

“Is that so?” Qin Liuxi casually remarked, “Speaking of which, how come I, a fine person, possess such an awesome skill? Old man, do you know some secrets?”

“I don’t know, perhaps you’re not human!”

Qin Liuxi: “…”

May I ask if you really are my true master?

“Get lost quickly!” Master Chi Yuan returned to his room.

Qin Liuxi: “Fine, don’t tell me. I don’t care to know. I’m just awesome!”

She turned around and left. She still had to retrieve the body that was suppressed under Ksitigarbha Hall in Wuxiang Temple.

Master Chi Yuan watched her leave from the doorway, his gaze profound.

Wuxiang Temple’s Ksitigarbha Hall also faced some trouble today, as the body that was chanted over daily by the abbot suddenly surged with resentful energy, breaking through the talisman and coiling around a young monk. If not for the timely arrival of the abbot, the young monk might have died wrapped in resentful energy.

When Qin Liuxi arrived, Master Hui Neng used an old Kasaya that had covered Buddha statues to wrap the body, telling her, “These past few days, the old monk has been reciting the Rebirth Scripture and the Ksitigarbha Sutra daily for him. Though the resentful aura on the body hadn’t dissipated, it was more peaceful. Today, unexpectedly, it surged greatly and injured a young monk in the temple, so we had to use the Kasaya as a magic treasure to wrap.”

Qin Liuxi asked, “This Kasaya, do we need to return it?”

Master Hui Neng smiled and shook his head, “It was previously draped over old Buddhist statues. Over time, it absorbed some incense and Buddha’s energy, which has some ability for evil suppression. Now that it has fallen on it, it belongs to the Kasaya, Amitabha Buddha.”

“Master is compassionate.”

“It is Buddha’s compassion.”

Qin Liuxi didn’t linger further, carefully arranging the body wrapped in the Kasaya into a simple yet rune-engraved wooden chest made from Thunderstruck Wood, meant for evil suppression, which could also function as a coffin. As Master Hui Neng said, this was the body’s resting place, demonstrating her bit of kindness — a coffin for the body.

Carrying the small coffin, Qin Liuxi left Wuxiang Temple. Right by the mountain gate, she tore open the Ghost Gate and headed for Qing Province.
