Chapter 5, Blood Eye Technique

The river clam shook its head: "It cannot be cured; even if your master were here, it would still be troublesome. The best solution is to set up a lychee wood fire and burn him immediately"

At the entrance of the hall, there is a divination platform named the Mirror of Reflection. On the surface of the platform lies a bronze mirror engraved with the Taiji diagram and the Yin-Yang fish. The walls are adorned with numerous divination texts affixed with yellow-edged paper, and there is a Taoist priest known as Qingzhen who is specifically responsible for interpreting the divinations.

Two quarters of an hour later, Qing Xuan earnestly requested the common people and his disciples to help carry this person on a grand journey to the Nine Tripod Palace. Before departing, He Bang took out a silk handkerchief and gently covered Chai Fu's right eye. The material of the handkerchief was unknown, but once it was placed over the right eye, the bleeding stopped instantly. She softly reminded him: "Do not look into his eyes."

The river clam shrugged: "Then you really cannot cure it!"

The Jiuding Palace is also a major sect, with the headmaster's Daoist title being Xingzhi. The Master of the Sword, who came to the Qingxu Temple to provoke last time, is the Yuyang Daoist. At this moment, outside the palace gate, upon seeing Qingxuan, the two knelt down in supplication. Initially, they felt somewhat pleased, but after uncovering the silk handkerchief, they were infuriated—damn, the people from Qingxu Temple are truly lacking in virtue!

Qing Xuan fell to the ground and could not get up: "The master will scold me when he returns https://www.hetushu.com!!"

During this interval, another case of a person with a bleeding right eye was discovered in Lingxia Village at the foot of Lingxia Mountain

Qing Xuan is greatly pleased: "I humbly request Your Majesty to bestow your guidance!"

The river clam nodded, filled with hope: "Can the Nine Tripod Palace cure him?"

The silk was unveiled by the Real Person of Yuyang, while the Real Person of Xingzhi moved swiftly, instantly dodging, allowing Yuyang to reveal everything to that blood-eyed creature. The Real Person of Yuyang panicked: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, save me!"

The river clam merely shook its head: "This thing cannot be cured; bringing it in is of no use and will only burden the Qingxu Temple."

Qing Xuan was momentarily unable to comprehend her meaning, yet human life is of utmost importance. He could only respectfully ask, "I humbly request the Sea Emperor's guidance."

Qing Xuan suddenly felt an impulse to pick up a stone and throw it at her

Qing Xuan nodded: "There is indeed such a person, but the people of the Nine Tripod Palace and the Qing Xu Temple have always been at odds with each other." He suddenly understood, "Your Majesty's intention... is to send this person to the Nine Tripod Palace?"

The villagers had no choice but to bring Chai Fu to Qingxu Temple.

Qing Xuan also understood: "This person and the - diagram - book harm innocent villagers, certainly not a good person. Could it be that they are also after the master's flesh? Your Majesty, is this witchcraft truly unsolvable?"

The clam was in high spirits: "If you pierce his right eye, rendering him unable to see, then the Blood Eye Technique will be broken."

The river clam merely shook its head: "As for the treatment, I do not know. However, I do know how to proceed."

... but he is not dead yet! Qing Xuan has a kind heart; how could he incinerate a living person? He Bo patting his shoulder said: "So we need to take him to the Nine Tripod Palace. This tactic is called 'Blowing Fire to Burn the Mountain,' also known as 'Shifting Calamity to Jiangdong.' Think about it, even if you carry him in, he cannot be cured, but in the eyes of the world, it will be seen as you, Qing Xuan, delaying a life! You, Qing Xu Guan, will gain a bad reputation! If you take him to the Nine Tripod Palace and kneel at the palace gate to seek medical help for him... Think about it, even if you carry him in, he cannot be cured, but in the eyes of the world, it will be seen as you, Qing Xuan, delaying a life! You, Qing Xu Guan, will gain a bad reputation! If you take him to the Nine Tripod Palace and kneel at the palace gate to seek medical help for him. Anyway, since Rong Chenzi is not here, you are a junior, so you won't lose much face... If the person is cured, it will be because you knelt and sought medical help, and your merits will be immeasurable... If the person dies, it will be the Nine Tripod Palace's fault, and it has nothing to do with you.

But the river clam did not care about these matters; she simply found the fortune-telling sticks amusing and shook out four or five sticks in one go. Qingzhen did not dare to let her wait in line, and was even more worried that the worshippers would speak rudely or bump into her, so she patiently interpreted the fortunes for her each time. In the end, it was Qingxuan who could no longer bear to watch and tried to coax her back to Master Rongchen's bedroom with a plate of white sugar cake

Qing Xuan instructed people to immediately cover their eyes and avoid looking at others upon discovering this symptom, but he truly had no solution for it. The river clam, taking its original form to bathe in the back mountain, spoke after a long while: "It seems that a highly skilled sorcerer has arrived here."

The river clam has released two more bubbles: "I am not familiar with your Taoist techniques, but I once encountered one in the southern frontier, who even created a method to break curses. Well, I suppose it can be considered a cure."

Just as the atmosphere was lively, a commotion arose at the entrance. It turned out that a farmer named Chai Fu from the village at the foot of the mountain had developed a strange illness since yesterday, with his right eye bleeding profusely. Moreover, since he fell ill, several villagers have died unexpectedly, with causes ranging from accidents to natural causes. However, to have five or six people die in a single day is indeed too unusual.

Qing Xuan heard the news and hurriedly made his way to the door. The river clam, carrying a piece of white sugar cake, also trotted along to see the commotion

The clam bit off half a piece of white sugar cake, its cheeks puffed up: "Is there a Taoist temple called Jiuding Palace opposite Qingxu Temple? A few days ago, someone came over to cause a ruckus for this seat!"

The river clam rose early today, idly shaking a divination stick for interpretation. Surrounding her were many young gentlemen among the visiting worshippers, who mistook her for a distinguished young lady from a prominent family come to offer incense. They pointed and whispered among themselves. The mirror of self-reflection was surrounded by a crowd, with many worshippers seeking interpretations of their divination sticks multiple times, repeatedly hoping for a glance from the beautiful lady.

The real master of Xingzhi indeed possesses true skills, immediately covering Chai Fu's right eye with silk. Many villagers were present, with dozens or even hundreds of eyes watching. He instructed his disciples to carry Chai Fu into the palace, then glanced at his junior brother, feeling a sudden sense of sitting at home with the door closed, as disaster fell from the sky.

Chai Fu was carried up the mountain by others, still wearing the simple clothes he had on while working in the fields. A stream of blood tears flowed from his right eye, staining his garments red. Qing Xuan approached to take a look; he had followed Master Rong Chen in learning the Dao since childhood, but his experience was still limited, and he could not discern much at that moment. He could only instruct his disciples to carry the person into the hall

The disciples were just about to step forward when the river clam squeezed beside him, and she lowered her voice, saying: "Can you treat it well? https://m.hetushu.com.com"

This is the Blood Eye Technique, a form of black sorcery passed down from the Miao region. Those afflicted experience continuous bleeding from the right eye, yet they are able to see. Anyone seen by their right eye will meet an untimely death. In other words, whoever is seen will be doomed.

Qing Xuan looked up at her and finally remembered that this person was the Sea Emperor. Although he could not discern any remarkable qualities apart from her appetite, as the leader of a clan, she should possess some unique abilities. He quickly inquired, "Your Majesty, the Sea Emperor, do you know how to provide assistance?"

In just one day, several people in the village died unexpectedly. Qingxuan could no longer sit still and finally sent someone to deliver a message to Rong Chenzi. The river clam had been in the water for a long time, observing the surrounding scenery, and she muttered to herself: "The mountains are clear and the waters are beautiful, but those who disturb the tranquility are truly detestable..."

On the second day, devotees came and went in succession at the temple. The current emperor promotes the Dao, which has led to an increased reverence for folk Daoist temples. This Qingxu Temple is the most renowned Daoist temple within a radius of five hundred miles around Lingxia Mountain, and it has been praised for many years. Therefore, there are particularly many faithful coming here to offer incense and pray for blessings.

Qing Xuan was momentarily taken aback, then shook his head: "I cannot discern any symptoms. However, my master has taught us since childhood that those who cultivate the Dao must wholeheartedly strive for goodness and assist the common people. Whether or not it can be cured, we must at least give it a try"
