Shu Yu sighed and looked up at Lord Yu, who was standing before her. She said, “My Lord, please don’t make things difficult for me. The secrets of heaven must not be revealed, or else I will also suffer a backlash. Before I left, my master had repeatedly warned me not to go against heaven’s will. Please give way, I’m leaving. Just take me as a charlatan who can’t be trusted.”
The more she said this, the more it was impossible for Lord Yu to let her go.
Even if Shu Yu really was a charlatan, as long as what she said was not true, Lord Yu had many ways to deal with her.
However, if what she said was true, wouldn’t he have missed a chance to save himself by letting her go?
Lord Yu’s attitude became respectful, “As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a Buddhist pagoda. Since I’ve met you, it means that this is the will of the heavens. How can you say that it’s against the will of the heavens?” “This…” Shu Yu frowned, still looking troubled.
“Please explain where this baleful aura came from and what is the karma that you have mentioned.”
Shu Yu finally sighed heavily, “Very well.”
She looked left and right, then at the Yu family shop behind her, “Please write a word. I will test it.”
Lord Yu naturally didn’t have any objections. After entering the shop, he took a pen and paper and wrote a word.
Shu Yu looked up, “Child? It’s really ominous.”
He really wanted a child, huh?
“Why do you say that?”
Shu Yu pointed at the word, “Please take a look. On the left is the word “zi”,
which means that the karma of this baleful aura is related to your offspring. On the right is “hai”, the last of the 12 Earthly Branches. It is of the Qian hexagram, six Yin. At this time, the earth is snow-white and not warm. Metal would give off cold air here, which is ominous. In addition, the word “hai” will mean “shock” when combined with “ma”. Appalling and stormy, all not optimistic. In my opinion, this baleful aura is also related to horses. Those who want to harm My Lord are either born in the Year of the Horse or have the surname Ma, which is closelv related to horses.”
Lord Yu was in a daze. He didn’t think much of it at first, but when he looked at the word again, he actually felt his heart jump.
“Then, do you know where the person who wants to harm me is?”
Shu Yu was still pointing at the word, “Hai belongs to the northwest. This baleful aura thus comes from the northwest. It also represents the water element, so the location of the culprit must not be far from the water. The corresponding numbers are ,12. My Lord, you can look at the door numbers and see if they contain one of these numbers.”
She then looked at the top of Lord Yu’s head again and suddenly frowned, “This baleful aura is getting stronger and stronger. It’s an evil spirit that kills people for money. Someone wants to take your property. My Lord, you should head northwest as soon as possible. There might still be time now.”
Her words were so firm that even if Lord Yu had suspected her of being a liar, he started to worry under her anxious expression.
“Can you come with me to take a look?” Lord Yu said this to confirm whether Shu Yu’s words were true or false. With her by his side, he could also be on guard.
Shu Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded seriously, “This way please.” Lord Yu let out a sigh of relief and quickly walked out of the shop.
Then, he started to head northwest. Since he had to go northeast where there was water, that would be the Wenmo River area.
Wait a minute, Master Geng seemed to live in that area as well.
As such, it would be a good opportunity to meet Master Geng and ask him to take a look at the Daoist priest next to him. If the other party really was a liar, Master Geng would definitely be able to tell..
