Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Sowing Evil
Upon hearing this, Old Madam was startled: “Is it really that serious?”
“Celestial Master Zhang speaks thus lightly, but I don’t know what kind of sins have been committed by your General’s Mansion to have attracted so many ghosts?” Celestial Master Zhang spoke without any courtesy.
Old Madam’s complexion changed drastically: “Celestial Master Zhang, what are you saying? There are many ghosts in our mansion?”
Celestial Master Zhang looked around and nodded impolitely: “Indeed, most of these ghosts are dressed as maids, they must have been servants in your household, right?”
Old Madam’s face stiffened, thinking they were the servants she had killed in her younger years, she was both shocked and fearful.
“Heavenly Master, you must help us, collect all these ghosts, they must not be allowed to harm us.” Suddenly hearing that her own ho was filled with so many ghosts, Old Madam’s heart quaked with fear.
“Rest assured, since I have promised to help you observe Feng Shui, I will naturally help you resolve this.”
Upon hearing this, Old Madam was slightly relieved; she really didn’t want to live under the sa roof with so many ghosts – it was too terrifying.
“But, Old Madam, shouldn’t you also explain why there are so many ghosts in the mansion? Moreover, judging by their appearances, they seem to have died not long ago.”
Looking at the ghosts brandishing their claws at him, though they appeared fierce, they lacked aggressiveness – clearly new ghosts, posing no threat to humans.
Celestial Master Zhang frowned deeply. These past few years, Situ Yongjie had not remarried, and only Lady Tang was managing the mansion. He was aware of this; furthermore, Lady Tang’s reputation for virtue and kindness was well-known throughout the Capital.
Now it seed that this reputation of virtue and kindness might have so hidden doubts.
A genuinely virtuous and kind woman in charge of a mansion should not have resulted in so many ghosts.
Upon hearing these words, Old Madam ca to life again. It seed that the matter of the ghosts had nothing to do with her, and her heart felt as if a heavy stone had been lifted, significantly relieved.
Thus, in the presence of Celestial Master Zhang, she pretended to be very angry and said: “For many years, I have not dealt with the affairs of the house, leaving them all to that Lady Tang. The matter of these ghosts must be related to her. When she returns from the manor tomorrow, I will have to have a serious talk with her.”
“Mm!”
Celestial Master Zhang put down the compass in his hand, ordering the servant to start setting things up in the courtyard.
There were joss ingots, joss paper, Copper Coins, and other items, a dazzling array that made Old Madam dizzy. She didn’t understand these things but was filled with respect.
Celestial Master Zhang started burning Joss Paper and clothing papers on the ground…
Soon, wisps of smoke rose in the courtyard.
The surrounding ghosts quickly gathered towards this place.
Celestial Master Zhang paid them no mind, continuing to burn Joss Papers and Joss Paper, and not only that, he also encouraged the servants to burn together.
The entire courtyard was engulfed in smog, making Old Madam choke and cough violently.
Old Madam and the maids, being re mortals, naturally couldn’t see what was happening inside.
However, Celestial Master Zhang could see clearly. He saw that at this mont, the inside and outside of the courtyard were filled with ghosts.
They greedily inhaled the smoke, appearing very satisfied.
Celestial Master Zhang knew they were feeding – just as humans eat als, they too enjoyed everything belonging to the Underworld.
There were also Coins scattered all over the ground; they were all scrambling for them!
Seizing the opportunity, Celestial Master Zhang took out a small cloth bag from his robe, whispering a Spell to himself: “Namo Amitābha Buddha, Collect!”
“Whoosh!”
The ghosts who were originally feeding and those currently scrambling for Coins suddenly, as if a swarm of bees, surged into the cloth bag.
