Chapter 370 Entanglement of Hatred 2
But I never expected that the instant my blade faced the ghost claw, it would shrink back into the void and disappear without a trace.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, but I was stunned.
Zhao Yuezhu was the first to rush over, punching me. "Are you crazy? I told you, don't do business! Why didn't you stop?"
I said matter-of-factly, "Having been entrusted by someone, I must be loyal to their cause."
I had said in Liangjie Tang that I had accepted Zhao Yatou's matter. In a sense, I owed Zhao Yuezhu a business.
Zhao Yuezhu had introduced Sun Qing to Liangjie Tang, but Sun Qing's business had nothing to do with Zhao Yuezhu. Zhao Yuezhu's words just now were the official commission.
"Enough!" Zhao Yuezhu knew what I meant, and stomped her feet in anger. "I didn't ask you to risk your life. Besides, am I a person? Did I ask you?"
I couldn't help laughing out loud. "Are you caught up in my saying, 'Having been entrusted by someone, I must be loyal to their cause'?"
"Get lost!" Zhao Yuezhu was so angry that she burst into tears. I had to raise my hands in surrender. "Alright, alright, you're a little fairy, okay? I'll go back and add a clause to the rules: fairies aren't people, we can't take their business."
"You get lost—" Zhao Yuezhu was angered by me. I tried to persuade her for a long time, but she was still crying.
I was helpless, so I looked at Qin Xin. The latter rolled her eyes and changed the subject. "What did you see just now?"
Qin Xin's eye-roll must have been learned from Ye Yang, but I had to take it! So I picked up the conversation, "When I broke the water basin, I saw what happened in Bai-hu Gou (White Tiger Gully). In the end, the blade that shook away the blood was the one that saw Zhao Yatou's past life."
"When Zhao Yatou appeared in Bai-hu Gou, she was wearing a Taoist robe, and her cultivation wasn't weak. She was young, but she already had the cultivation of 'Mian Zhang (Cotton Palm) can shatter stone into powder', which means she came from a famous sect."
"But when I shook away the blood mist later, I saw Zhao Yatou's back in a blood-stained robe, and her body was full of evil energy like fire. Something must have happened to her in her previous life!"
When I talked about Zhao Yuezhu's past life, the girl finally stopped crying and looked at me with red eyes.
I pretended not to notice her and continued, "If we infer according to the last scene I saw, Zhao Yatou must have killed many people in her previous life. She has been haunted by those wronged souls, so many problems will appear in this life."
"Also, the ghost god who stopped me from performing the spell at the end. If I'm not mistaken, that ghost god should have a master."
I looked at Zhao Yuezhu when I said this, and she immediately shook her head and said, "I don't know anyone who can drive ghost gods."
I nodded. "Your past life can't be resolved in a short time. We can put it aside for now and talk about it after this business is over."
"No, no... no!" Zhao Yuezhu waved her hands repeatedly. "Actually, it's good not to have friends."
I touched Zhao Yuezhu's head twice. "Alright, little girl, I said I'll help you solve it, and I definitely won't break my promise. Isn't it just a low-level ghost god? Just kill it."
I spoke lightly, but I faintly felt that Zhao Yuezhu's matter was not that simple.
Because in the last picture, I saw a tattoo of bamboo on Zhao Yuezhu's hand. Adding to what Zhao Ci had said to me, I could completely judge that Zhao Yuezhu not only had a mysterious past life, but also a very unusual background in this life.
Now is not only not the time to explore Zhao Yuezhu's past and present life, but not even the time to tell her the truth.
This girl is a bit heavy-minded, knowing too much will increase the burden in her heart. It would be better if she didn't know anything.
Qin Xin probably saw what I meant and changed the subject without a trace. "What did you say was going on with Bai-hu Gou?"
I pointed to the broken cliff. "Bai-hu Gou was indeed a very ominous place. There used to be a tiger-shaped stone standing in that position. The shape of the stone was that of a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey."
I pointed downwards with my hand to draw a distance. "The position where we were standing just now was right under the tiger's mouth. Bai-hu (White Tiger) is in charge of killing. If we use a formation to correspond to the ominous stars in the sky, we can just echo the feng shui layout of a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey."
"There are ominous stars in the sky, and hungry tigers on the ground. There is no way to go to heaven, and no way to enter the earth. Once the Bai-hu star moves, it is equal to the punishment of heaven and earth."
"If people are buried there, it will not only bring disaster to future generations, but the ghosts in the tomb will also be scattered within a year."
"The murderer who skinned people alive buried the deceased in this position in order to destroy their souls."
"Originally, his plan was about to succeed, but it was broken by Zhao Yatou's past life."
"That little Taoist nun shattered the Bai-hu stone with her Mian Zhang, which completely abolished the feng shui layout here. Those ghosts also escaped."
I paused slightly here. "If I'm not mistaken, the matter between Sun Qing and Qian He Tang (Thousand Crane Hall) should be a feud that has lasted for one hundred and twenty years, two cycles of reincarnation."
Zhao Yuezhu didn't understand what I meant and blinked her eyes. "What do you mean by that?"
