Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Tongsha Sky Bridge, Pointing Out the Maze
Qin Ruan sat in the chair in front of the stall, her arms crossed and she was lazily leaning on the chair.
"Since you obtained this white jade pendant, one misfortune after another has struck your home. First, your little grandson had an accident at school and broke his leg, he's still in the hospital."
"Then, your daughter-in-law. Hmm, I believe she had a car accident on her way home three days ago. Although it was not a major accident and she was unharmed, she has paid quite a sum for it."
As soon as Qin Ruan started speaking, the old man became impatient, took off his sunglasses, revealing a face full of shock, his eyes glowing with brilliance.
He looked annoyed, even angry.
Qin Ruan stopped speaking, the old man's face turned red with restraint.
After a long pause, he angrily pointed at Qin Ruan, "Nonsense! Pure fabrication!"
"Next is your son, who either cuts his hand while cooking or stumbles on flat ground, and constantly makes mistakes at work. In a few days, he'll probably be fired by the company."
Qin Ruan radiated confidence, with an indifferent attitude, speaking down at him, "Whether I'm speaking nonsense, you know it in heart."
The old man, whose surname was Song and was known as Song the Semi-Immortal, had been running a stall under the Tongsha Sky Bridge for many years.
He himself had some little skills and was quite convinced by certain things.
Everything Qin Ruan had said had indeed happened in his family.
First, his most cherished grandson had an accident, then his daughter-in-law had a car accident, and recently his son has also been having continuous mishaps.
During this time, he had been so worried that his hair turned grey.
He wasn't sure whether there was something wrong with the Feng Shui of the house or if they had been cursed in some way.
His little grandson was so well-behaved, so sensible, and suddenly broke his leg at school out of the blue.
His daughter-in-law had over ten years of driving experience, steady driving skills, yet she had a car accident. Although she paid quite a bit of money, fortunately, she was unharmed.
Last night, he became thirsty in the middle of the night and went out of the bedroom to find water, only to see his son in the living room with a distressed face.
Upon asking with concern, he found out that his son had made a mess of a major company project and was facing the risk of being fired at any time.
He had never spoken about these things to outsiders, so how did this young girl before him find out?
Could it be that she was a master?
Old man Song shook his head gently in his heart.
Qin Ruan's age was there for all to see, she simply didn't have any credibility.
The respected masters are the oldest ones.
In their industry, the older the better and even if one has some skill, they can't compare to those old hands.
As Old man Song turned pale, Qin Ruan reached out to him.
"What do you want?!"
Song the Semi-Immortal covered his neck with his hand, hiding the pendant inside his clothes, his face filled with vigilance.
Seeing his cautious attitude, Qin Ruan's smile faded, and she frowned, "The white jade pendant you wear around your neck belongs to a deceased person. It's just been excavated, and it carries a heavy evil Qi, which your frail body can't handle."
"You know that too?!"
Song Semi-Immortal was once again astonished.
This pendant on his neck had an unknown origin; he had received it from a group of grave robbers selling it in haste. He was lucky to have stumbled upon it.
If this jade pendant were sold openly, its value could possibly be ten times his lifetime savings.
Qin Ruan hooked the corner of her mouth, her expression enigmatic: "Knowing it belongs to a deceased person, you still dare to touch it?"
You should know that these items, buried underground for hundreds or even thousands of years, are buried because they have the ability to suppress.
Being buried for many years, they absorb a strong amount of negative energy and carry a heavy evil Qi.
No one knows what these items have been through before they were buried.
If these items have seen bloodshed, the situation will become even worse, they can take lives."
