The courtyard was very silent.
When they arrived, Jiang Jinlu knelt in the courtyard. On the ground beside him was a dirty stain. There was some light in the courtyard, but it was still a little dim. The stain looked a little dark red.
It did not smell great, making him think of fresh blood.
However he did not think of it that way. In fact, he even thought…
This was probably his senior sister’s teasing again, so he was still kneeling and remained conscious.
Xie Qiao placed Sang You and Meng Yin together, then she took out the wooden figure with their eight characters carved on it.
The substitute talisman was indeed destroyed. The substitute technique was more than half complete, and the effort was almost wasted. However, destroying the talisman would not remove the substitute technique that had been going on for a long time. The death energy on Sang You’s body must be removed too.
The substitute technique was also a curse. Xie Qiao stuck the Calming Talisman at Sang You’s three souls and seven spirits chakra. She sat cross-legged and chanted.
After chanting for two hours, Xie Qiao finally got up.
She took out another piece of high-quality white jade.
Xie Qiao’s hand trembled a little.
The towns near the Water Moon Temple produced high-quality jade. This piece was what she had gotten back then… It was considered the best piece. She did not spend money on it. It was a gift from someone else. When it was in her hands, it was just an unpolished piece of jade. It took her several days and nights to carve this piece of “Longevity of Pine and Crane”.
Xie Qiao’s heart ached. She had initially wanted to use this jade as her dowry…
However, as his senior sister, she should not be stingy with her gift.
Xie Qiao’s eyes were kind as she placed the jade in Sang You’s hand. “This jade is pretty good. It energizes you. I’ll let you keep it.”
“Girl, your junior brother’s situation…” Li Shiyan looked concerned as he prepared for the worst.
“Although he suffered a little, he’s fine now. Don’t worry, Teacher. It’s just that he’ll be a little afraid of the cold these two years. After all, he’s been frozen for so long. It’s inevitable.” Xie Qiao’s expression was calm.
When she said that, Li Shiyan’s brows relaxed. “Get someone to buy some fur cloaks later. We’ll give them to him during the winter.”
Having his life back would be better than anything!
“But this person is in trouble.” Xie Qiao looked at Meng Yin indifferently. “Now that the substitute technique is completely useless, his life is gone. He won’t be able to breathe for long.”
Li Shiyan thought for a moment and said to Zhao Xuanjing, “Send someone to bring his grandfather here.”
Zhao Xuanjing nodded.
In a short while, Meng Xiande and Master Hu arrived.
Master Hu’s face was sallow and he did not look good. His hair was messy and he shivered from time to time. He hugged his body as if he had gone crazy.
“So cold… so cold…” he was still mumbling.
“He…” Li Shiyan was a little surprised.
Why did he feel cold?
“The spell backfired, and my junior brother’s life was saved. However, this Meng Yin has relied on my junior brother to live for some days. Now, the karma should be on him, and his lifespan will be lost by a lot,” Xie Qiao added.
Therefore, a Taoist master who did not have the ability to avoid the backfire of karma was not suitable to do such a bad thing and reap what he sowed.
“Backfire?” Old Master Meng was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up with intense anger. “What does this mean?! He failed, didn’t he?! What happened to my Yin’er?! What did you do to him?!”
The old man pounced on Meng Yin who was on the bed..
