Chapter 008: The Femme Fatale

I still find it hard to believe that Ma Wenlu would be such a person, although she is a bit arrogant, it seems unlikely that she would be associated with a murderer

Mr. Qi smiled and said, "The tools used for arranging the formation are inauspicious; it is better to discard them."

Indeed, older individuals are articulate; he first inquired about the relationship between me, Da Jiang, and Ma Wenlu, and only then did he share with us the information he had obtained from the mouth of the female ghost

Mr. Qi let out a cold laugh: "This venomous woman won't live much longer. This female ghost will not let her off; the reason she agreed to my helping her ascend is to kill you classmates. Alright, here is the jade pendant for you, let's hurry and leave, otherwise, if a murder really occurs, we won't be able to escape."

I cannot respond to this. I was awake all night last night, terrified out of my wits by that cursed bloodstone. That fool Jiang actually claims not to be afraid; truly, he is oblivious to the blessings he has.

Mr. Qi waved his hand at me: "Go ahead, I will communicate with Old Mo. Brother, this is difficult! The Blood Vengeance Stone is not an ordinary ghost, this... sigh! The fate in life is indeed unpredictable, let me consult your master first before proceeding."

Mr. Qi confidently stated: "This house was purchased with illicit money, and it is estimated that he will soon be subjected to double regulation. What ability does he have to manage us? Moreover, he killed his own wife to achieve his status, arranged the feng shui to obscure the heavenly secrets, and is destined to meet a bad end. Just wait and see, he is likely to make the news soon."

I took out my phone and said, "My senior brother is by his side, so I can get in touch with him"

I looked at him and asked, "How is Ma Wenlu doing now?"

This statement completely reassured Da Jiang: "Let's go, have a drink!"

Mr. Qi looked at me and asked, "You are Mo Wentian's disciple, so you should be able to read faces, right? How is your classmate Ma Wenlu's facial features?"

This feng shui arrangement is quite intricate, known as "Soul Lock." The stronger the resentment of the trapped spirits, the faster her man ascends. This is also the reason why Ma Wenlu frightened Da Jiang during their phone call, as her man has now risen to a very high position

He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and then looked at me and Da Jiang, asking: "You two, do you know the woman inside? What is your relationship with her?"

This heartless fool, I really don't want to talk to him. My life is almost at its end, and he is still making sarcastic remarks. Truly, he is my best frenemy!

Ten minutes later, he walked out holding several jade tokens in his hand, and as he passed by the trash can, he casually tossed them in.

I dialed the phone, and my senior brother answered. I immediately said: "Senior brother, please hand the phone to Master. There is a Mr. Qi here who wants to speak with him... Yes, it is regarding that blood feud stone."

Ginger looked at me and asked, "Binzi, is it because you have never had a partner that the female ghost has taken a liking to you?"

Mr. Qi helped me with a dish: "Yesterday, I resolved the issues at my construction site, and today Mr. Qi stepped in to settle matters at Ma Wenlu's home. I feel that this is quite easy, and although people say ghosts are frightening, I don't feel scared at all..."

Today, when I came in to deliver the jade ornament, I attracted the attention of that female ghost because I was born during the Yin period. While I was placing the jade ornament, it was quite a coincidence that I used the power of Guanyin to disrupt the feng shui arrangement that bound her. Only then was she able to attach herself to Ma Wenlu and use her body to kill me. By merging with the soul of a person born during the Yin period, she could leave this house and become a free-spirited ghost

Ginger nodded slightly: "We were high school classmates, our relationship is rather mediocre. With her wealth, the two of us together can't compare to her. What's wrong, Master Qi?"

I wore a bitter smile: "This is my fault. A woman came to me with a bloodstone, and I didn't know what it was, so I let her stay to study it. As a result, she became entangled with me..."

As soon as I finished speaking, Mr. Qi's chopsticks fell to the ground with a "clatter," and he looked at me with a surprised expression: "What? The Blood Vengeance Stone? How did you come across such a thing?"

Mr. Qi shook his head: "That is because you have not encountered it; this meal is not easy to swallow, and one misstep can lead to a loss of soul. The female ghost at the construction site was originally just fine; it was us who disturbed her. A simple apology would suffice. Today's main purpose is revenge; once revenge is taken, her resentment will dissipate, and she will naturally move on to the afterlife, dust to dust, ashes to ashes. If you say you are afraid, there are many frightening things in this line of work. If you are willing, I can make you lose control at any moment."

Brother, I spoke with Old Mo on the phone, and he is very concerned about you. We have discussed some methods, and I would like to try them tonight. However, we need a person with deep fortune to support you; in case you are unable to manage, his good fortune can at least provide some protection for you.

I looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Mr. Qi, what were you just scolding about?"

When Mr. Qi returned, his expression was quite serious

Mr. Qi nodded and said, "Not having the fate of a wealthy lady yet becoming one is inherently problematic. Moreover, do not underestimate human greed; for their own selfish desires, people can do anything. I don't know if your master has ever told you, but the most terrifying thing in this world is not ghosts or deities, but the human heart"

Mr. Qi took a sip of wine: "This is quite normal, as she is a Bodhisattva, compassionate by nature. Being in the realm of Feng Shui, she understands the truth of the situation and naturally feels a sense of pity. However, on another note, it is fortunate that you are using Guanyin; if it were Guan Gong, he would not be so kind as to grant a ghost a way out. In the future, when selling jade, you must never let the sight of money blind you to whom you sell. If you assist the wicked in their deeds, retribution will inevitably come."

Mr. Qi entered while holding my jade pendant

Ginger suddenly burst into laughter: "Just right, buy one get one free. Having a female ghost as a wife isn't bad at all. Nowadays, there is gender inequality, and many men have started to take an interest in the same sex. Now that you have ready resources, whether they are human or ghost, at least it's a woman... so don't be picky..."

Mr. Qi interrupted me before I could finish speaking and asked, "Can you contact your master now?"

Mr. Qi said earnestly: "If it weren't for your face full of fortune, would I be working at your construction site? Boss Jiang, your brother's life depends on you tonight, are you in or not?"

He spoke while staring intently at Da Jiang, who was gnawing on chicken feet, causing Da Jiang to suddenly lose his appetite: "Master Qi, why are you looking at me? Am I a person of great fortune?"

Big Ginger looked at me, then at Mr. Qi, and then slammed the table: "Do it! Whether it's a female ghost or a female fairy, if she dares to touch my brother, I will definitely eliminate her!"

Ginger quickly waved his hand: "Alright, alright, forget I said anything. Master Qi, I still need to trouble you with this matter regarding Binzi."

Mr. Qi took a deep drag from his cigarette and said, "This woman is truly worthless"

I was taken aback and casually said: "With a narrow temperament, little fortune, and a lowly fate, according to the principles of fate, in this lifetime, I am destined to be nothing more than a commoner in the marketplace. This ... ... "

I nodded slightly: "Mr. Qi, have you heard of the Blood Vengeance Stone?"

Once on the vehicle, Da Jiang inquired, "What is this? Why throw it away? Can't it be sold for money?"

During the meal, I still had some doubts: "Mr. Qi, why do I feel that Guanyin's eyes turned red when I placed her?"

Mr. Qi, could it be that the female ghost is lying? Even if Ma Wenlu is cruel, she wouldn't kill someone, would she

Mr. Qi held the phone and pushed the door open, leaving me and Da Jiang staring at each other in silence

I said to him with irritation: "Come on, what about that female ghost with the child..."

It turns out that the female ghost is actually the wife of Ma Wenlu's husband, and Ma Wenlu was previously the mistress supported by that person. In order to secure her own position, Ma Wenlu used the money from her sponsorship to hire a sorcerer to set up a feng shui arrangement in the living room of this villa, while simultaneously poisoning the legitimate wife. The purpose of this feng shui arrangement was to retain the soul of the woman, using her resentment to assist the man in continuing his ascent.

Da Jiang asked with some concern: "What about her husband? If he finds out that we have disturbed the feng shui of his family, he will definitely not let us off the hook."

"Big Ginger, if you want to experience fear, come back with me tonight. There is a female ghost currently haunting me, and I will let you experience what despair truly means"

Mr. Qi smiled, took a piece of fermented tofu pork and slowly chewed it: "I am even closer to your brother than you are; his master has done me a favor, and I will certainly not neglect his matters. Brother Binzi, tell me, what kind of female ghost have you encountered? If even the Bagua jade pendant cannot subdue her, she must not be an ordinary character."
