At this moment, it would be terrible to open the window again. The few servants did not know what to do.
The old master had instructed that they should not be too obvious when doing that.
In fact, they did not know why the old master had instructed them to do so. However, those who were able to follow the old master here today were all servants who had the master’s trust and kept their mouths shut. From this point, they understood in their hearts that the matter the master had requested was very important.
Whoever could do it would be more important in the future. On the surface, there would be punishments, but behind the scenes, there would be more rewards.
After thinking through this point, the servants also began to think of their own ways.
It was only two lamps, how could they not be extinguished?
After a while, the servant who was wrapped in Sang You’s blanket had a change of expression. “Young Master Jiang, come over and see if Young Master Sang is not breathing…”
As soon as he said that, Jiang Jinlu’s face turned pale. He quickly put down the lamps and rushed over to take a look.
His hands trembled as he tried to catch his breath. A moment later, he let out a shaky breath. “He’s still breathing, it’s just that… He’s barely breathing… Someone hurry up and save him. Ask the miracle doctor to come over quickly.”
As soon as he said that, the screen in the room fell down with a plop.
Although it did not touch the lamp, the wind created from the fall caused the lamp he had put down to go out.
Jiang Jinlu was in a daze.
After all, it was a candle flame. It was too fragile.
“Young Master Jiang, don’t you think…” Guard Xia looked at the servant and vaguely saw the strange expression among one of them. Suddenly, he was a little suspicious and pulled Young Master Jiang to the side, then, he said, “I have a feeling that they did it on purpose.”
“They destroyed the lamps on purpose?” Jiang Jinlu also felt that something was wrong.
Although the candlelight was weak, they had seven!
There were just too many surprises.
“I think that’s how it is.” Guard Xia thought for a while.
“But why… It’s just some lamps…” Jiang Jinlu felt that it was inexplicable. Why did they destroy the lamps? Even if they had doubts about his eldest senior sister’s ability, they would not want to go against her.
If it were not for the miracle doctor here…
“Young Master Jiang, Master Mo isn’t as useless as you think. She’s really capable.” Guard Xia was helpless when he saw Jiang Jinlu’s perfunctory attitude.
“I’d believe it if she’s well-versed in the Four Arts. I’d also believe it if you say she’s intelligent and unparalleled in the world. But this supernatural power…” Jiang Jinlu shook his head, “Guard Xia, do you know how many people have died because of that witch in my hometown?
“Ever since I was young, there have been people in the village who have fallen ill. They often look for the witch and casually throw a handful of herbs and hum a few incantations. Then, they leave people there to wait for death. If they come back to life, they will be blessed by the gods. If they die, they will be guilty of evil.” Jiang Jinlu forced a smile.
“It’s just that the people there aren’t educated. Master Mo is different…” Guard Xia immediately said.
“How is she different? After my mother left, I left that place. Even after I became a disciple, I still had some doubts. Over the years, I visited countless Taoist temples and monasteries. I saw those commoners who were suffering. They knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, but no gods ever came. I saw those monks who were well-versed in both worlds, but I never saw them releasing souls. I know that the so-called monks are just mortals. It’s not life that is saved, it’s just the heart.”
All the people asked for was peace of mind, and all the monks did was comfort.
As for the others…
Talisman water, divine incantations… They were all nonexistent tricks to deceive people..
