Chapter 907: Don’t Pick Up the Windfall on the Road (1)
“This servant took the opportunity to take a look just now.”
“That girl entered the residence with Taozhi, but she is a few years older than Taozhi. She is sixteen this year.”
“Last night when I saw you, your face was still red. Today when this servant saw you, my lips have turned white. His eyes are sunken, and he looks ten years older.”
“Last night, there was a maid on duty who said that she saw the woman in white enter her room. She also said that she felt something tickling her nose last night. Aiya, is it sucking away her lifespan?”
Taozhi was scared out of her wits.
Lulu washed up and quickly ate breakfast before rushing out.
Before she left, she saw Jiang Huaian walking over in a hurry.
“Lulu, did you feel anything strange last night? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
“Taozhi, go and get a doctor to take a look.” Jiang Huaian’s expression was cold. He pulled Lulu and took a closer look.
Lulu was puzzled. ” I only slept for one night. What could be wrong? ” We just met last night.” Lulu waved his hand.
Jiang Huaian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn’t seem to be acting strangely.
“Do you still remember the red packet you picked up last night?”
“This morning, all the people who picked up the red packets got into trouble. When they woke up this morning, they were all weak and pale. That red packet is probably used by some evil method. I’m afraid it’s used to buy longevity.”
Lulu looked over in confusion.
“There is a folk legend that if there is a long-term illness in the family or a person who is about to die. They would find a Taoist who knew witchcraft to steal people’s longevity. However, because everyone’s lifespan is destined, they will definitely be rejected by the heavens.”
“He would hide that person’s hair in a red packet, seal it with silver, and throw it by the roadside. If someone picked it up, they would admit that they had sold their lifespan. That’s why there’s a saying among the people that money on the ground can’t be picked up.”
“Yes, yes, yes, this servant has also heard of it. Some of them would be unlucky if they picked them up, and some of the money would be spent. If worse comes to worst, you might even die.” Tao Zhi nodded. She had heard of these legends when she was young.
“So, four taels of silver and four taels of silver are used to buy longevity?” Lulu raised an eyebrow. He recalled the itch in his nose last night, and a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes.
“Probably. We’ve already sent someone to invite Master Yixu, but we’ll have to wait for another two days before we receive any news.” Jiang Huaian was a little worried. He had picked up his younger sister last night, but looking at her fair and rosy face, it didn’t seem like her lifespan had been stolen.
Jiang Huaian wanted to enter the palace to report this matter.
Lulu then went to the servant girl’s room where she had picked up the money last night.
“Miss, don’t you think these Warlocks are overbearing? Aren’t they deliberately cheating people of their lifespan? Won’t he be punished by the heavens?” Tao Zhi was so angry that she muttered.
He also remembered that the lady had also picked one up, and he was still a little frightened.
“This kind of spell is not recognized by the Heavenly Dao. I’ll definitely be alone in this life.” Moreover, if the Heavenly Dao discovered that he had stolen his lifespan, he would be struck by lightning and disappear from the human world.
That servant girl was still lying on the bed, and Madam Xia had given her a lot of tonics to recover.
Lulu couldn’t help but frown when she saw her.
“Did you see anything strange last night?” Lulu waved her hand and didn’t let her get up to bow.
Lulu glanced at her. She was sixty-two years old yesterday.
It could be considered the age of death.
But today, it had already become fifty-two.
After sleeping for a night, she lost ten years.
No wonder he looked so weak and his face was pale.
It would be a wonder if he could recover from the fact that ten years had been taken away.
