I lifted my head and looked at Mi Ding Cheng. My eyes turned cold as I asked casually, "According to what Mister Mi said, these two mugwort leaves are quite old, right?"
I didn't know if Mi Ding Cheng saw the coldness in my eyes, but he averted his gaze and said with a smile, "It's not that old. I only got these two leaves half a year ago.
The pawnshop that my old friend runs usually doesn't pawn anything for more than a year, or at most two years … Of course, this is from the time when my old friend handled the two leaves. I don't know about the situation before that. "
I smiled coldly and took out the two Seven Star Mugwort leaves and put them on the table in front of me.
"Mister Mi likes to collect these mysterious things, but he doesn't know much about them.
For example, this Seven Star Mugwort looks like a normal mugwort at first glance. However, if you look closely, you can see that there are seven silver star marks on the leaves.
Because of these silver star marks, the Seven Star Mugwort has a magical power that can repel evil spirits.
Because of this, when the leaves of the Seven Star Mugwort fall off, they don't dry and turn yellow. Instead, they can store spirit energy and keep the leaves green. "
After talking about the characteristics of the Seven Star Mugwort, Mi Ding Cheng looked at me with a strange expression. He said awkwardly, "I've heard about what Grandmaster Zhou said before."
I shook my head. "I'm not done yet … Mister Mi knows all this, but he doesn't know that the Seven Star Mugwort leaves have another characteristic.
The leaves are not indestructible, but they are supported by the spirit energy in the seven silver star marks.
Once the spirit energy is used up, the Seven Star Mugwort leaves will dry and turn yellow.
Normally, each silver star mark can support the leaves for half a year.
In other words, after the leaves fall off the mother plant, one of the silver star marks on the leaves will disappear every half a year. "
Then, I looked at him and sneered. "Mister Mi obviously doesn't know about this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lied to me."
After many years of cultivation, I was now a quasi-celestial master. I had a sharp aura around me. Even a business tycoon like Meding City panicked when he was stared at by me. He stuttered and couldn't say a word.
After the Seven Star Mugwort Leaf was separated from the parent plant, one of the star marks would disappear half a year later. But the two Mugwort Leaves in front of him still had seven star marks. Obviously, they had been separated from the parent plant for less than half a year. It was impossible for them to be pawned by his friend and given to him as a gift, as Mi Dingcheng had said.
After pointing it out, I didn't rush him. I just looked at him in silence.
Mi Ding City lied in front of me, and I exposed him. If he didn't give a reason, he would lose face.
After stuttering for a while, he finally sighed and cupped his hands at me in shame. "Master Zhou … I was rude. Please don't blame me.
To tell you the truth, I did obtain these two mugwort leaves from an old friend. However, it wasn't a gift from an old friend. He sold them to me. "
This time, he finally told me the truth.
The old friend he was talking about was a childhood friend he had known since childhood. After they grew up, their friendship was still very good, and they also had some business dealings. However, starting more than 20 years ago, this person suffered a series of setbacks in the business field, and his family business gradually declined.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Although his family business was declining, he was still a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. His life was much better than ordinary people.
This man didn't focus on his business anymore. He just lived his life dutifully. That was how he had survived for more than twenty years.
More than a year ago, this man suddenly got seriously ill. His family business finally declined. Not only did he have no money to treat his illness, but he also couldn't make ends meet. When Mi Ding City learned about this, he remembered their old friendship. He sent some money to the man and brought him to the hospital of the Mi Group to treat him.
However, after the doctor's examination, the man's illness was beyond cure. There was no hope for him to be cured. Moreover, he didn't want to stay in the hospital. Mi Ding City gave him some money and asked him to go home to rest.
Who would have thought that after this person returned, there would be no news of him again. Mi Ding Cheng looked for him a few more times, but could not find him. In his heart, he thought that this old friend of his had passed away. He mourned for a few days and gradually forgot about him.
But what he didn't expect was that after another year, which was half a year ago, this person suddenly appeared again. Not only was he not dead, but his complexion was also much better than before.
According to him, he found a reclusive old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who cured his chronic illness. The purpose of his visit this time was to thank Mi Ding Cheng for his previous help. After that, he gave Mi Ding Cheng two pieces of seven-star mugwort leaves and gave him a brief explanation of the effects of the mugwort leaves.
Hong Kong was full of metaphysics, and Mi Ding City was interested in it. So, he accepted the gift.
However, before the man left, he told Mi Ding City not to reveal the details of the seven-star mugwort leaves. He even came up with an excuse for Mi Ding City so that if someone asked him about it in the future, he could use this excuse to avoid further investigation.
Although Mi Ding City was curious, he knew that treasuring a jade ring would arouse suspicion, so he agreed.
The words he used to deceive me were exactly the reason that person had thought of back then.
Mi Ding City didn't want to show this treasure to others. He just wanted to keep it with him to ensure his own safety. However, in less than half a year, the Mi family encountered the disturbance of the ancestral grave. Mi Ding City had no choice but to seek help from a famous Feng Shui master in Hong Kong.
If it was just an ordinary Feng Shui master, with Mi Ding City's reputation and wealth, he didn't need to take out the seven-star mugwort leaves. However, the Dragon Seeking Gathering was just a prelude. Mi Ding City's target was Liang Tianxin from the beginning. That was why he took out the seven-star mugwort leaves. Moreover, he was worried that he didn't have enough bargaining chips, so he gave me the cinnabar stone and the hundred-year-old ginseng.
He wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to lure Liang Tianxin to solve the problem of his family's ancestral grave.
However, he didn't expect that someone would come out of nowhere. The two seven-star mugwort leaves ended up in my hands.
After listening to his explanation, I nodded. This time, he wasn't lying.
The cold expression on my face eased a little. I nodded to Mi Ding City. "It turns out there's such a secret. I was too impulsive. I hope Mr. Mi won't blame me."
Mi Ding City waved his hand. "Ignorance is not a crime. I was the one who deceived Grandmaster Zhou first."
After exchanging some pleasantries, my expression became solemn. I stood up and clasped my hands at Mi Ding Cheng. "Mister Mi, to tell you the truth, I have a descendant who is suffering from a terrible disease. If I want to save his life, I need a whole Seven Star Mugwort.
Recently, I've been searching for him, but I didn't get any information.
If Mr. Mi can tell me his name and address, I'll be very grateful.
Regardless of whether I can find the whole seven-star mugwort or not, I promise to fix the Feng Shui of your family's ancestral grave. I can even make your family's Feng Shui more prosperous. "
"This … This …"
After listening to me, Mi Ding City was bewildered. Then, he hesitated.
I wasn't impatient. I sat down and quietly waited for Mi Ding City's answer.
After a long time, Mi Ding City gritted his teeth. He stood up from his chair and bowed to me.
Despite his age, he saluted me before speaking. I couldn't help but feel gloomy.
As expected, after Mi Ding City stood up, his face was apologetic. He repeatedly apologized to me and said, "A gentleman's sincerity is precious. When I accepted these two mugwort leaves, I promised my old friend that I wouldn't tell anyone about his condition. Today, I've confessed. I've already done something wrong. How can I go back on my promise?
Grandmaster Zhou has fixed the Feng Shui of my family's grave. I'm very grateful. If you have any instructions, I won't refuse. However, please don't mention this matter again. "
Mi Ding City refused.
Thinking of Wang Li's pitiful appearance, I couldn't help but feel angry. However, I understood that Mi Ding City was right. He had made an oath and didn't want to go back on it.
Also, I had promised to fix the astral energy passage earlier. My reward at that time didn't include Mi Ding City providing me information about the seven-star mugwort.
After a few minutes of silence, I looked at Mi Ding City and spoke again, "You're right. A gentleman's sincerity is precious. I promised you to fix the astral energy passage earlier, and I will do the same.
However, you've seen the situation today. The hole that was dug can't be filled in a short time. Even if we find a way to plant saplings to reconnect the astral energy passage, those saplings won't be able to support the circulation of astral energy. Even if we transplanted them into trees, the astral energy circulation won't be smooth due to the difference in aura.
Normally, it wouldn't be a problem. However, the astral energy passage has been blocked for a long time. Your Mi family's fate is very inauspicious. If this astral energy passage can't be repaired soon, I'm afraid the Mi family will be in big trouble. "
After saying that, I didn't look at Mi Ding City's dark face and continued, "I can tell you that in the entire Hong Kong, or even the entire world, I'm the only one who can quickly repair this astral energy passage and protect your Mi family's fate.
Not only that, I can also give your Mi family a good fortune. I can turn your ancestral grave into a true dragon's lair. I guarantee that within ten years, your Mi family will have a noble person who will rise to the sky.
There is only one condition, and that is the information about the seven-star mugwort!
I'm not an unreasonable person. Mister Mi, it's up to you to decide! "
I didn't mean to deceive you. If the Mi family wants to repair the astral energy passage, there is only one way, and that is to use the power of the true dragon vein.
In this world, I'm afraid that I'm the only one who can carry a true dragon vein with me.
If I use the true dragon vein to clear the astral energy passage, the power of the dragon vein will naturally affect the Mi family's ancestral grave, turning it into a true dragon's lair. It will definitely benefit the Mi family's descendants. It can be said to be a great fortune.
