Chapter 617: Chapter 607: Get Lost, You Ugly Bastard!
Qin Liuxi released her grip, letting the ashes of the Dragon Wood Bone scatter with the wind, exhaling a heavy breath as she gazed into the dark void.
Everyone stood in a daze, their eyes filled with awe towards Qin Liuxi, yet upon seeing the scene within the coffin, they couldn’t help but feel disheartened.
What in the world was going on?
The Great General who protected his family and country with valor now suffered such desecration after death; where was the justice of heaven?
It was already an outrage against heaven to desecrate one’s ancestral tomb, yet the Zhang Family did such an immoral act, weren’t they afraid of divine retribution?
Once the Dragon Wood Bone was removed, the Luck Changing Technique was immediately invalidated, and as Qin Liuxi removed each object related to the magic, the Qi Fortune that had been drawn away from the Lv Family rapidly returned, enveloping Lv Xiaoshan.
Qin Liuxi dragged out the corpse of the Zhang Family ancestor, setting it aside – it was unknown how many years they had been dead, as the bones were somewhat weathered and would shatter if handled too roughly.
Then, she turned to General Lv, who was wrapped in a white cloth with talismans sealing his orifices and Soul Suppressing Nails pinning his limbs, and sighed deeply.
Normally, when an ancestral tomb was disturbed, the ancestors would sense it and warn their descendants through dreams, drawing their attention to check on it.
However, this Luck Changing Magic had been in place for years, and Lv Xiaoshan had not received a single warning dream, all because he simply could not communicate.
While it wasn’t something to be praised, Qin Liuxi had to admit that the caster of this magic was very thorough and cautious, eliminating the possibility of being discovered right from the root.
Think about it, if she hadn’t sensed something was wrong, who would have thought there would be two bodies in one coffin, and the one being suppressed was actually General Lv?
And once all the Qi Fortune of the Lv Family had been transferred to the Zhang Family, and Lv Xiaoshan was gone, moving General Lv’s body would have been done without God or ghost noticing, seamlessly.
Unfortunately for them, General Lv was endowed with great virtue and a great destiny; the heavens always left a glimmer of hope for the Lv Family to correct the chaos.
Qin Liuxi curved her lips slightly, thinking that the saying about the inexorable net of heaven, loose yet letting nothing through, must apply here.
Lv Xiaoshan had passed out twice, and upon waking, knelt in front of her father’s coffin for a long time, simply shedding tears.
Qin Liuxi looked at her and asked, “Now that the grave has been restored, and all these things cleaned up, this auspicious place is still usable – do you wish to rebury your father here?”
The other party had performed the Luck Changing Technique very cautiously and had not destroyed the feng shui of this auspicious spot. Apart from those child boys and girls slightly affecting the yin de, as they were buried in the correct position and with the object of Jin Ji, it did not create an evil spirit but could instead attract auspicious energy and conceal Qi.
Lv Xiaoshan ground her teeth: “Even if it’s an auspicious spot, it has been sullied. Could the Junior Temple Master help find another auspicious spot for my father to be reburied? I don’t want him to suffer this indignity even after death.”
She couldn’t stand the thought of a Zhang Family member having laid there.
“It can be done.”
The spot, even the coffin, had been occupied by someone else, indeed it was somewhat revolting.
Lv Xiaoshan then glared fiercely at the disgusting corpse of the Zhang Family ancestor, bit her tongue hard, and said to the old village chief, “Uncle Jiang, have someone smash these bones to pieces and scatter the ashes deep in the mountains.”
Crushing bones and scattering ashes, this was the most satisfying vengeance she could think of; none of the Zhang Family would escape.
“I’ll do it.” A middle-aged man with empty sleeves and dark complexion stripped the dead body of its belongings, wrapped the bones with a mat of grass, then took a large stone and smashed it down hard, producing a series of dull thuds.
As night fell and the wind blew through the mountains and forests, a mournful howl seemed to accompany it.
Qin Liuxi said nothing, merely lighting four sticks of incense, bowing to the remains of the Great General, planting them, and then removed the talisman paper and Soul Suppressing Nails that had sealed the orifices, recited the Rebirth Scripture, before declaring, “Let this humble Daoist collect your bones.”
A Great General who protected his country deserved that much.
Lv Xiaoshan lifted her head and watched Qin Liuxi cradle the skull, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She had failed as a daughter, she was unfilial.
Those present watched Qin Liuxi’s actions and couldn’t help but show solemn respect.
The wind brought with it what seemed like a sigh.
That night, Lv Xiaoshan dreamed of the Great General she hadn’t seen for many years, who only said, with affectionate love, that he did not blame her, as he too had been blind to trust a wolf in sheep’s clothing as his son-in-law.
Lv Xiaoshan’s room was filled with her crying throughout the night.
…
Over by the thatched cottage, the Black Robed Man gathered his belongings, preparing to leave. As he passed by Zhang Yong, his leg was lightly caught.
The Black Robed Man looked down at that unrecognizable figure, mouthing pleadingly, “Save me.”
After Qin Liuxi had rendered the Dragon Wood Bone Nails useless, and dragged out the Zhang Family ancestor from the coffin, Zhang Yong had suffered the most severe backlash and was now hanging onto his last breath.
