I hurried back to the shop. Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande were still lying on the ground. Wang Kun was checking their injuries. I hurried to them and asked Xiao Jin to go back upstairs to rest. Then, I thanked Wang Kun and said, "Brother Wang, you've been out for a few days, and your wife's due date is almost here. You should go home first. I can handle this."
Wang Kun was a man who had experienced many hardships in society. He understood that I wanted to send him away. He didn't say anything more. After telling me to be careful, he hurried to drive away.
After he left, I lowered my head to check Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande's injuries.
Metaphysics included medicine. I had also dabbled in it, but my cultivation wasn't deep enough. I could only treat common headaches and fevers.
Fortunately, after a quick check, I found that the hunchbacked old woman hadn't attacked them severely. The two of them only had some minor internal injuries. Moreover, they were a little tired, but it wasn't a big deal.
Then, I realized that I was worried.
No matter what, Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande were now my people. If they were seriously injured this time, I would have to uphold justice for them no matter what. However, I was obviously not a match for the hunchbacked old woman, and it was inevitable that there would be a rift between us.
I wanted to transfer some Dao energy to them to alleviate their injuries, but I suddenly remembered that my Dao energy was still at the Sealing Acupoint Realm, which was inferior to theirs. So, I gave up on this thought and helped them sit down. I asked the hunchbacked old woman when she had come to our door and if she had dealt a heavy blow to them.
Xie Chenghua told me, "After I left that day, I went to the place where the hunchbacked old woman stayed to collect the bill.
Everything was fine when I collected the bill, and he came back with the money. However, not long after he returned to the shop, the old woman stormed into the shop. She didn't give them a chance to explain and beat them up. Then, she searched the house and said that she wanted to find me.
At first, Xie Chenghua thought that the old woman had changed her mind after paying the bill and wanted to come back to rob me. Now, he understood that the talisman had a problem.
However, they didn't know where to find me. When the old woman was about to go crazy, Xie Chenghua was smart enough to talk to her. "Although the talisman has a problem, I didn't mean to deceive you. When I made the talisman, I found a lot of special materials. For example, the fox armpit pen. The hunchbacked old woman also knows that.
If I really wanted to deceive you, how could there be so many problems? "
"I also said that I would come back in three to five days. Then, I can check the talisman.
I tried my best to persuade the hunchbacked old woman. However, the two of them still suffered a lot. From that day on, the hunchbacked old woman sat there and waited for me for three days. The two of them were also injured. They lay on the ground and waited for me for three days.
Fortunately, I came back on time. Otherwise, if that old woman lost her patience, it would be hard to say what the final result would be.
After listening to him, I felt less resentful toward the old woman. She had spent a lot of time and energy to get this talisman. She had waited for half a year, and when she got the talisman, she found that it couldn't be used. It was normal for her to do something impulsive when she felt that way. However, she didn't kill anyone. Instead, she waited for three more days.
Although it was mainly because of the temptation of the Heaven Deception Talisman, it at least proved that the old lady had no evil intentions.
Just as I was about to support the two of them upstairs to rest, Xie Chenghua asked me curiously, "Boss, that old fox already took you out, why did he let you come back after reaching the door?"
It wasn't easy to answer this question to him. I grinned and said, "That old woman's strength isn't bad, but I'm not a noob either. Inside the store, I was accidentally controlled by her. Outside the store, I counterattacked and broke free from her control. That old woman probably couldn't easily control me, so she agreed to my suggestion."
I was only half-joking, but the moment I said that, Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande both gasped in shock. In the end, it was Xie Chenghua who said with envy and admiration, "Boss is truly a young talent. You've just arrived at Shiyao, yet you're able to make this old fox, who's close to the Celestial Master Realm, wary. It's really … really … admirable."
This time, it was my turn to be dumbfounded. What a joke. In the Glory of Consciousness realm, the difference in strength between every level was like heaven and earth. Not to mention the Heavenly Master Realm, I wasn't even a match for Ye Pianpian and Zhang Kanwen, who were in the middle stage of Glory of Consciousness. Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande really believed everything.
However, thinking about it, the two of them knew me at the Metaphysics Exchange Competition. At that time, I used my Pressure Point Realm cultivation to consecutively defeat a few Nanyang people in the Glory of Consciousness realm. That was probably the reason why the two of them felt that it wasn't a big deal for me to challenge those in a higher realm.
I smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to explain. At that moment, Xie Chenghua took the initiative to change the topic. He asked me if I needed them to prepare anything else since I was going to make a new talisman.
In order to repair the Heavenly Deception Talisman, the main thing was to change the thirty-five normal yellow talismans to the same talismans made with shaman energy. Naturally, they needed the materials from last time. However, the two of them were injured and hadn't rested for three days. I told them that we would discuss the matter of the talismans later and told them to rest first.
Both of them didn't have any serious injuries. After a night's rest, they were much better the next day. According to my instructions, they went to look for the First Sunflower's blood and the Death Jade. After that, I spent two days to make all thirty-five talismans in one vigorous spurt.
This time, when I put the whole set of talismans together, the thirty-six talismans seemed to automatically respond to each other. Each talisman released its own aura, and after mixing with each other, the color of the talismans changed, turning purple.
I was dumbstruck as I watched from the side. No wonder this set of talismans was called purple. It turned out that it would automatically turn purple!
Previously, I and the hunchbacked old woman, one was ignorant and the other didn't understand the Dao of Talismans. We actually ignored such an obvious sign.
After the talismans were completed, I asked Xie Chenghua to find the old woman. However, he didn't find her this time. Two days later, she proactively appeared in my shop.
This time, she didn't have the cold and arrogant aura she had before. After entering the shop, she looked around carefully before asking for the talismans.
When I gave her the wooden box containing the Heavenly Deception Talismans, she opened it and glanced at it. Then, she left as fast as she could.
Xie and Liu, who were watching from the side, were stunned. Even I was dumbfounded. Although I knew that she was afraid of Xiao Jin, she was still at the Quasi-Sky Master realm. Who knew that she would be afraid of him to such an extent?
If the Heavenly Deception Talismans weren't so important to her, she wouldn't even want to show her face.
No matter what, this matter was finally over. I heaved a sigh of relief. In the next few days, I didn't do anything else. I stayed in the shop and rested, wondering if I should go to Thailand or secretly go to the capital.
There was no need to mention the reason why I wanted to go to Thailand. However, I wanted to go to the capital because I was worried about Ye Pianpian and the fatty. Last time, I had asked Yang Kaichen to ask for information, but many days had passed, and he hadn't received any news.
I understood that Shenzhen was too far from the capital. It wasn't that Yang Kaichen didn't try his best to find information. It was just that he couldn't get any information.
However, according to the information Yang Kaichen had told me, the people of the Metaphysics Society didn't want to keep their mouths shut about Ye Pianpian. As long as I went to the capital, I wouldn't be able to see her. However, it wouldn't be a big deal if I just wanted to ask for information about her.
Coincidentally, I would pass by Kaifeng on the way, so I decided to go to Mount Huang to ask about the fatty.
Although I had a grudge because he didn't tell me about the solar eclipse, I still trusted the fatty.
As long as I knew their situation, I didn't have anything to worry about anymore. Next, I would go to the Royal Palace in Thailand to see Aladi's teacher, Sirhonpo. If the power of the nine spirits he mentioned was really witchcraft energy, I would stay there for a while to increase my cultivation base. I wouldn't come back for a while.
If the power of the nine spirits wasn't witchcraft energy, I would go there to relax.
Of course, it was a foreign country, and I didn't know what kind of dangers were waiting for me there.
However, the path of cultivation was full of dangers. There was no way to give up eating for fear of choking.
While I was making up my mind, Yang Kaichen called me. He asked me to go to his house.
I had been to his house once, so I knew the address. After hanging up the phone, I hurried to his house.
When we arrived, he sent his wife away. He was the only one in the house. As soon as we sat down, Yang Kaichen cheerfully told me that he had contacted Zhang Kanwen a few days ago and asked him to gather information about Ye Pianpian and Lin Hu in the capital. Soon after, he got the news about Lin Hu and Ye Pianpian.
When I heard that, I was overjoyed.
I had wanted to contact Zhang Kanwen, but after the incident in Meizhou, I couldn't get through to him. That was why I couldn't get in touch with him.
Instinctively, I thought that he had gone to some secluded place to cultivate, so I didn't ask Yang Kaichen. I didn't expect that he could contact me.
After asking, I learned that Yang Kaichen had gone to Meizhou one month ago to visit Master Zhao's grave to offer his condolences. Coincidentally, he had met Zhang Kanwen there. That was how I got in touch with him.
I patted my head. Although we had killed Zhang Bingcheng during that incident, he had been in Meizhou for many years. It was hard to say if he didn't have some loyal dogs. If Master Zhao's grave was in Meizhou, Zhang Kanwen wouldn't feel at ease. Even if he had to live in seclusion, he would stay nearby to take care of him.
After thinking it through, I asked Yang Kaichen about Ye Pianpian and the fatty.
Yang Kaichen told me that Zhang Kanwen didn't know much about Ye Pianpian's situation. He just confirmed that the Metaphysics Society had imprisoned her in a cold place. I heard that people who went to that place couldn't come out again.
It was also a coincidence that Zhang Kanwen met the fatty as soon as he arrived in the capital. He was on his way back to Kaifeng. Since Zhang Kanwen didn't know him, he didn't ask him. He just took a picture and sent it to me.
Then, Yang Kaichen handed me his phone to show me the picture Zhang Kanwen had sent.
I picked it up. It was the fatty. However, the other person next to him caught my attention.
Nangong!
He was also safe and sound. Moreover, he was next to the fatty!
I frowned and thought for a while. During the solar eclipse, Nangong had brought Ye Pianpian to the back mountain of the Metaphysics Society. His methods weren't bad. It wasn't a big deal that he could escape.
After returning the phone to Yang Kaichen, I exhaled. No matter what, I had confirmed that Ye Pianpian and the fatty were safe. I could relax for the time being. As for Ye Pianpian being imprisoned by the Metaphysics Society, even if I wanted to, I couldn't do anything about it. I could only wait and think about it later.
I left Zhang Kanwen's contact information then bid farewell to Yang Kaichen. I returned to the Fengshui Metaphysics Shop.
As soon as I entered the shop, I saw Xie Chenghua sitting there with a dazed face. My heart sank. Did that old woman come to cause trouble again?
Before I could ask, Xie Chenghua got up and hurried to me. "The police have taken Liu Chuande away."
