Chapter 67: Unspoken Secrets

  When Liu Dajiang said that, Liu Quezi probably understood. His brother wasn't unwilling to go and get the money back, but he couldn't put down his face. In the eyes of a poor farmer like Liu Quezi, face was far less important than money. Besides, the money originally belonged to his brother Liu Dajiang, why shouldn't he go and get it back?

  "Brother, if you can't swallow your pride, then I'll go ask for it." Liu Quezi said.

  "Never mind, I'll go myself!" Liu Daqiang said.

  If this money were really to be asked for by Liu the Cripple, then Liu Dajiang's face would lose even more dignity. Therefore, Liu Dajiang could only grit his teeth and go ask for the money himself.

  Actually, Liu Daqiang also had his own small abacus in mind. If he invited that Taoist priest Mao to come and settle the matter, he could immediately go find Lao Dao of Zhushan to ask for money. If Taoist Mao couldn't handle it, he could continue to invite Lao Dao of Zhushan to perform a ritual.

  Otherwise, if you go to get the money back now, and can't handle that Taoist priest again, wouldn't that be a mess on both ends? This matter concerns Liu Zuo's life as well as the future peace of the Liu family. Therefore, Liu Daqiang dare not be careless.

  Of course, Liu Dajiang still hopes that Mao Daoshi can handle the matter. In that case, he can save a lot of money. After all, whoever it is, wants to spend less money to achieve more.

  Liu Daqiang thought for a moment and then made an appointment with Liu Zaizai. He rushed to the neighboring village, bringing that Taoist priest back.

  After Mao Daoshi arrived, he first took a look outside Liu Zhangzi's house and made some gestures with his peach wood sword. Then he entered Liu Zhangzi's house, using the peach wood sword to pick up the paper money, and jumped around in the house for half a day as if possessed by a spirit.

  After finishing the big god dance, Mao Daoshi told Liu Dajiang and Liu Wazi that he had already rectified the feng shui in the house, and there was no problem with the feng shui.

  After going out, the Taoist priest quietly pulled Liu Dajiang to one side and told him that there was indeed a ghost in Liu Qiu's house, a female ghost. However, the female ghost had been beheaded by the Taoist priest himself. Now, there were no more ghosts in Liu Qiu's home, and Liu Qiu would not have any more problems.

  When asking Mao Daoshi, in order to test Mao Daoshi's skills, Liu Dajiang left a trick. He only said that there might be something in Liu Zuozi's house, but did not mention Chen Guafu, so before coming, even if Mao Daoshi had guessed that there was a ghost in Liu Zuozi's home, he would definitely not know that the ghost in Liu Zuozi's home was a female ghost.

  Now, Mao Daoshi dared to tell Liu Dajiang that the ghost he killed was a female ghost. It can be seen that Mao Daoshi still has some skills. If Mao Daoshi didn't know it was a female ghost, he would only say that he killed the ghost, but wouldn't say that he killed a female ghost.

  In short, after this analysis, Liu Dajiang has thoroughly believed in Mao Daoshi, believing that he had already gotten rid of the widow Chen from the Liu family.

  No matter whether that widow Chen was really eliminated or not, the current Liu Daqiang has already made up his mind to go to Zhushan Temple to find Zhushan Lao Dao and get back the money he gave away.

  Liu Daqiang went to Zhushan Temple on Saturday afternoon, and that day, I was following Master's butt to learn Taoist magic, Liu Daqiang came with a piece of dried meat.

  "Headmaster, busy?" Liu Dajiang came and handed the cured meat to my master with a smile.

  My master is a Taoist priest, not a Buddhist monk. He can eat meat. I've heard my master say that some Taoist sects don't allow their priests to eat meat, but our sect does.

  Look, Liu Daqiang is bringing the cured meat, my master thought Liu Daqiang had settled with Liu Qiu and specially came to invite him to do business. You know, my master hasn't opened up for a month or two, his addiction to doing business has long been stirred up.

  So when Liu Daqiang arrived, my master seemed especially delighted.

  "Come on then, what else are you bringing?" My master was being polite to Liu Daqiang while stretching out his hand and taking the cured meat that Liu had handed over.

  My master, who had always been a man to return favors immediately, spoke up as soon as he received the cured meat. "It seems you've already settled things with your brother, let's go! We should head to Stone Horse Village, this matter can't be delayed!"

  As soon as my master finished speaking, Liu Dajiang's face immediately became somewhat awkward. Because he came here, not to ask my master to do the law, but to take the money back.

  "Dao Chang." Although it was a bit awkward, what had to be said would eventually have to be said, so Liu Daqiang plucked up the courage to speak. "Dao Chang, my brother Liu Erlie is fine, I made a mistake."

  Liu Dajiang was always an honest and down-to-earth person, almost never having lied in front of others. Therefore, when he told this lie, his face suddenly turned red.

  "Are you kidding me? This is no laughing matter!" My master asked Liu Daqiang.

  The last time I went to Liu's house, although my master didn't enter his door, but just in the yard, he already felt that there was a ghostly aura in his home. So, my master dared to conclude that Liu Dajiang is now telling lies.

  Originally, my master could have just returned the money to Liu Dajiang and that would have been the end of it, which would have been easy for everyone. However, my master has his own professional ethics. Although he didn't enter Liu's house and doesn't know what kind of evil spirit it is, my master knows that the evil spirit is very ferocious, so he feels obligated to remind Liu Dajiang, hence he added this one sentence.

  My master asked like this, and Liu Daqiang's face immediately became even redder.

  "I've really messed up." Liu Daqiang replied with great embarrassment. It was clear that at this moment, Liu Daqiang would have liked to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

  "Last time I went to your brother's house, I felt the yin energy in his home. If that yin energy is not eliminated, your brother Liu Erli will definitely be in danger, have you thought it through?" my master asked.

  My master could see that Liu Dajiang was mostly hiding something unspeakable, so he asked a sentence like this. If after my master had made the words so clear, Liu Dajiang still stubbornly refused to say anything, my master would not have said anything more either.

  The Taoist family catches ghosts and drives away evil spirits, all talking about a fate word. If Liu Dajiang still insists on this, it means that my master has no fate with him, and this business cannot be done.

  Liu Dajiang was an honest man and wouldn't lie. Seeing my master speak so sincerely, he couldn't hide it anymore. So, in one breath, he told the whole story of how he had invited Mao Daoshi.

  My master often interacted with the villagers, so he knew that it was not easy for them to save money. Moreover, which Taoist priest's Taoism is deep, ordinary villagers can't see it either. So Liu Dajiang went to invite that Ma Dao to save money, my master could understand completely.

  After listening to Liu Daqiang's speech, he said: "No fate!" Then he returned the mountain fee that Liu Daqiang had given him before.

  Liu Daqiang apologized to my master right after receiving the money.

  "I'm really sorry, I've troubled you for nothing, I'm really sorry." Liu Daqiang said with a bow.

  That incompetent Taoist priest stole our business, and in my master's heart, there must still be some discontent. However, compared to the discontent, my master was more puzzled.

  Liu Quezi's home has a very strong evil spirit. Generally, even if a Taoist priest can see it, he won't be able to capture the ghost. My master is well aware of Mao Daoshi's abilities. To put it bluntly, without the help of a superior or some heaven-defying artifact, my master doesn't believe that Mao Daoshi can capture the ghost.

  "No big deal, we're all from the same village, if business doesn't work out, at least we still have our integrity!" My master was very displeased in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't show it at all.

  Seeing his master and Yu Yan's smiling faces, Liu Daqiang's face also relaxed a bit. "Daozhang, then I'll take my leave first."

  When Liu Daqiang was about to leave, my master immediately stopped him.

  "Wait, take this cured meat back. No work no pay, I won't break my own rules." With that, my master handed the cured meat back to Liu Daqiang.

  This piece of cured meat, Liu Dajiang didn't even dare to eat it during the New Year. Originally, he was already reluctant when he brought it to give to my master, now that my master gave it back to him, he's naturally very happy! Liu Dajiang hesitated for a moment before finally taking the cured meat back.
