Chapter 273 The real purpose
Taixu stroked his beard, looking unhappy: "Since Madam doesn't trust me, then Lord Shen, please seek help from someone else."
Shen Jingchuan frowned, apparently extremely dissatisfied with Qin Xuerong's words.
After all, although he didn't completely believe in ghosts and gods, he didn't completely disbelieve them either. But now Qin Xuerong was in trouble, so he offended her without any explanation.
You know, it took him a lot of effort to invite Taixu to come to his house.
"Master, please stay." Before Shen Jingchuan could speak, Old Madam Shen spoke first.
Hearing this, Qin Xuerong suddenly looked up at Old Madam Shen and said anxiously, "Mother, you don't really believe what this Taoist priest said, do you?"
He is obviously a swindler!
But Qin Xuerong couldn't say this.
Madam Shen said impatiently: "It is not your turn to make the decision in this mansion now, and you have no right to control me, an old lady!"
With just one sentence, Qin Xuerong lost all face, but unfortunately, she had no one to rely on now.
Shen Jingyu took a step forward and spoke in a deep voice: "If it is really Jingyu's fault, Jingyu is willing to forgive. Although Jingyu does not know how the evil spirit came to her, if Jingyu's grandmother is seriously ill, Jingyu is willing to listen to the Taoist priest's instructions."
Shen Shuyi's eyes were indifferent. He had to admit that Shen Jingyu was more resourceful than Qin Xuerong. No wonder she could trick the Eighth Prince into doing so.
Now, this tactic of retreating to advance, if she speaks it out openly, it will be difficult for Shen Jingchuan and Old Madam Shen to really use such means against her.
After all, no matter what, Shen Jingyu is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, and now she is favored by the Eighth Prince. If the Shen family really disregards their dignity and treats her as an evil spirit, it can be said that it is not only Shen Jingyu who will be embarrassed, but also the entire Shen family, and even the Eighth Prince.
Therefore, Shen Jingyu was certain that the Shen family would not do this, and speaking in this way actually preserved her reputation for being open and generous.
Shen Jingchuan frowned and said in a deep voice: "We naturally believe what the Taoist said, but Jingyu is the daughter of our Shen family after all. If we treat her like this, I am afraid it will affect her future marriage."
Qin Xuerong slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She felt as if her whole body was hollowed out and she just felt weak.
"Since Lord Shen trusts me so much, I can draw some talismans and perform some rituals to suppress this evil spirit." Taixu's attitude softened a bit.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest!" Shen Jingchuan hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Immediately, Taixu picked up the peach wood sword, took a sip of wine in his mouth, sprayed it on the peach wood sword, muttered something, and then jumped up while dancing with the peach wood sword.
Everyone stared with bated breath. After a while, Taixu picked up the talisman paper again and drew a bunch of characters on the yellow paper with cinnabar.
"Tai Shang Laojun, be as urgent as the law!"
"Bind!"
Watching Taixu's operations, Shen Shuyi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and felt that it really seemed like that.
"It's a pity that the master can't bear to do it, otherwise he would make the eldest lady suffer as well." Jinzhu said hatefully, feeling that Shen Jingyu had a very cruel heart.
Roasting people over fire?
I'm afraid even good people don't want to live anymore...
It's really a murderous act.
Yu Ping whispered, "Be careful with your words."
Shen Shuyi didn't care too much. They were standing in a remote location and everyone's eyes were on Taixu, so she was not afraid of someone hearing anything.
"Don't feel sorry. This method won't work even if it happens to me." Shen Shuyi said softly.
From the very beginning, Shen Jingyu never expected this to happen.
But regardless of whether it succeeds or not, her real plan is to prove that she is an evil spirit and a disaster.
With this reputation, I'm afraid everyone in the Shen Mansion will avoid her like the plague.
Old Madam Shen will also regard her as a thorn in her side, and one day, this disgust will overcome all reason.
So, what is Shen Jingyu’s real purpose?
Soon, Taixu's talisman was written. He slowly put away the peach wood sword and let out a long sigh.
The Taoist boy at the side first handed a talisman to Shen Jingchuan with both hands, and then said: "This talisman needs to be carried with you at all times. It can not only suppress evil spirits, but also ensure safety. The other few should be posted on the doors and windows of the house."
Shen Jingchuan immediately ordered someone to accept it and thanked Taixu repeatedly.
The Taoist boy handed another talisman to Madam Shen and said crisply, "This talisman can help you get rid of evil spirits and bad spirits and help you recover soon."
After hearing this, Old Madam Shen quickly took it in her own hands: "Thank you, Taoist Priest."
After Shen Jingchuan sent Taixu away, he came back with a heavy face. The group was still in the front yard and had not left.
Shen Jingyu took the initiative to say: "Dad, if you feel embarrassed, Jingyu can also leave home."
Shen Jingchuan frowned and said, "Let me think about this for a while. Don't leave your yard for the next few days. Also, remember to stick the talismans written by Taoist Taixu on the doors and windows."
Without waiting for Shen Jingyu's response, Shen Jingchuan said again: "Come here, prepare realgar wine and sweep the entire house thoroughly. Do this every day from now on."
"Yes, sir."
Shen Jingyu lowered her eyes and did not refute, but said: "My daughter will definitely follow my father's instructions."
Qin Xuerong said anxiously, "Master, we can't just listen to this Taoist priest's one-sided words. Why don't we invite a highly respected mage to come over and take a look."
Shen Jingyu said in a gentle voice: "Mother, there are monks practicing in Huguo Temple and Yufo Temple, and they won't come easily. For example, even if Your Majesty wants to see Master Tianyi, you have to go to Huguo Temple to meet him."
"Then let's go to Huguo Temple too." Qin Xuerong said anxiously.
Shen Jingyu shook her head: "The autumn hunt is coming soon, and the Huguo Temple is now under martial law and praying for blessings. No one is allowed to enter."
"Then...then...then let's go to the Jade Buddha Temple." Qin Xuerong spoke again.
Shen Jingyu said nothing, but raised her eyes to look at Shen Jingchuan and Old Madam Shen, as if waiting for their opinion.
Shen Jing'an said at this time: "Dad, why don't we go to the Jade Buddha Temple? Although Taoist Taixu is very capable, we might as well be prepared for this kind of thing."
Shen Jingchuan frowned and said nothing.
Shen Jingan said again: "Let's not talk about the strange things that happened during this period. Our Shen family has been in turmoil recently. It's a good thing to go to the Buddhist temple to pray for peace of mind."
This sentence actually convinced Shen Jingchuan.
Shen Jingchuan turned to look at Old Madam Shen and said gently, "My son still needs to go to court every day. What do you think, mother?"
Madam Shen was silent for a moment, then responded, "In that case, I will make this trip."
Old Madam Shen was a believer in Buddhism to begin with, and now she believed in Taixu out of habit. After all, for hundreds of years, Taoist priests were mostly responsible for exorcising ghosts and catching evil spirits.
Shen Shuyi stood aside, watching the excitement like a spectator.
Until this moment, she finally figured out Shen Jingyu's intentions.
It seems that Taixu's ghost catching is just an appetizer. Shen Jingyu's real purpose is to lead her to the Jade Buddha Temple, and then kill her there or on the way.
