Ch 74: Bad Luck Talisman
What is going on?
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Du Qingyang’s attitude changed too quickly, and her style was too peculiar. Why did she suddenly start saying New Year’s greetings to Chang Hua?
Du Qingyang was also puzzled; she didn’t want to either. But these were the incantations for the Bad Luck Talisman, she had to say them, and she had to smile while reciting them.
Yes, these aren’t greetings, they’re incantations.
Du Qingyang’s gestures just now weren’t random; she was drawing a Bad Luck Talisman!
At that time, after the Dimension used intention to transmit the method of drawing the Bad Luck Talisman to Du Qingyang, Du Qingyang didn’t believe it and even scolded the Dimension for being a swindler, still trying to deceive her.
How did New Year’s greetings become the incantations for a Bad Luck Talisman? This isn’t scientific.
The Dimension despised her, Mysticism was never scientific to begin with.
Then, why aren’t there any books in the Dimension that teach people how to draw Bad Luck Talismans? What is the basis for the things the Dimension says out of nowhere?
To prove the Bad Luck Talisman was truly effective, the Dimension told Du Qingyang a story from long ago.
The founding ancestor of the Dimension didn’t just create these ten rows of bookshelves. Two-thirds of the books disappeared without a trace. Why did they go missing? How did they go missing? The Dimension didn’t remember. It had just awakened, its Spiritual Energy had long been exhausted, and it didn’t remember much about events from ten thousand years ago.
However, the ancestral master had drawn Bad Luck Talismans and recited incantations in the Dimension before. The Dimension still remembered these things clearly.
To coax Du Qingyang back, the Dimension taught her the method of drawing the Bad Luck Talisman.
Du Qingyang was still skeptical; the Bad Luck Talisman the Dimension taught was too peculiar to believe. Besides the blessing-like incantation, the drawing method was also strange; it was actually drawing the Peace Talisman backwards!
Drawing the Peace Talisman backwards plus blessings becomes a Bad Luck Talisman?
No, the person being drawn on must also say thank you! The Dimension meant that after that person said thank you, it would be equivalent to accepting the bad luck, and the Bad Luck Talisman would be complete!
So, when drawing the Bad Luck Talisman and reciting the incantation, you have to smile, making people think you’re really saying blessings to them. Then, they will sincerely say thank you. Otherwise, the Bad Luck Talisman can’t take effect.
Huh, why hasn’t Chang Hua said thank you yet?
“Hey, I said so many nice things, why aren’t you thanking me?”
“Thank… thank you.”
Du Qingyang smiled. Saying thank you was right; the ritual was complete, and the Bad Luck Talisman took effect.
Immediately, Du Qingyang turned to Chang Ba again, smiling as she said, “Chang Ba, I wish you smooth sailing, two dragons soaring, three goats bringing prosperity, peace in all four seasons, five blessings entering your home, everything going smoothly in sixes, seven stars shining brightly, wealth coming from all eight directions, hearts united in nines, perfection in tens, success in everything, auspiciousness in thousands of things, and everything going as you wish.”
As the words fell, Du Qingyang also finished drawing the talisman. Then, she quietly waited for the thank you.
“Thank you, thank you very much.” Chang Ba cupped his hands in thanks. He was several decades old, and he hadn’t heard such nice words before. Whether Du Qingyang was sincere or not, he was still excited.
Yang Liu and Ning Sisi’s faces darkened.
What was wrong with Du Qingyang? Wasn’t she just trying to help them? How did she suddenly change and smile at those two people, saying a bunch of nice things?
Du Qingyang leisurely sat down, took a sip of Hot Water, and then slowly opened her mouth: “Do you know why I said that?”
Chang Hua and Chang Ba shook their heads at the same time.
“Because I didn’t want to watch you have terrible luck, so I said some more blessings.”
She definitely couldn’t talk about the Bad Luck Talisman, so Du Qingyang started making up a story.
The ancestor said that Chang Ba was destined to be alone in his old age and couldn’t be forced to marry.
Which ancestor said that? She forgot the name, but she didn’t forget the ancestor’s words. That sentence was, “Out of ten bald heads, nine are rich, and the one who isn’t rich will be alone.” Chang Ba was that lonely one.
What would happen if you went against the ancestor’s words? Naturally, you would have a streak of bad luck!
Chang Ba wanted to marry in three days? Let’s see if he can keep his life within three days.
◈◈◈
Yang Liu and Ning Sisi listened in a daze.
Chang Hua and Chang Ba’s faces turned red and white.
“So, quickly break off the engagement; preserving your life is the most important thing.” Du Qingyang widened her eyes, her gaze clear, looking as if she wasn’t lying.
“Nonsense!”
◈◈◈
“You girl, you really have a sharp tongue!”
Chang Hua and Chang Ba were furious; Chang Ba even wanted to hit Du Qingyang. If Chang Hua hadn’t pulled him back, he really would have done it.
They couldn’t afford to provoke Du Qingyang; they should leave quickly.
“In three days, we’ll come to welcome the bride!” After hurriedly dropping a sentence, Chang Hua pulled Chang Ba away.
Thump—
With two loud sounds, Chang Hua and Chang Ba actually fell in front of the Ning Family Home’s gate.
The Ning Family Home’s gate didn’t have a threshold; it was very flat. How could they fall?
“Hahaha…” Du Qingyang let out a tractor-like laugh. The Bad Luck Talisman was taking effect so quickly; it seemed the Dimension hadn’t lied to her.
Yang Liu and Ning Sisi couldn’t be happy; they were still worried. They didn’t listen to Du Qingyang’s words and didn’t believe in the bad luck theory at all.
Chang Hua and Chang Ba, who returned to their respective homes, believed it. Because in a short period of time, they had both fallen twice.
They fell in front of the Ning Family Home’s gate, and they actually fell in front of their own gates when they returned home!
Ouch—
Chang Hua looked in the mirror, touching her forehead, which was bruised from the fall; it really hurt.
Falling twice in one day; how unlucky.
Suddenly, Chang Hua remembered Du Qingyang’s words. She felt a chill down her spine and shivered. Could what Du Qingyang said be true?
Just in case, Chang Hua decided not to go out for these three days.
But unexpectedly, she couldn’t escape even if she didn’t go out.
The glass mirror in front of her suddenly cracked, shards flying everywhere, and some shards flew onto Chang Hua’s arm, piercing her flesh.
Ouch…
Chang Hua endured the pain and pulled out the shards, planning to get up and find some hemostatic medicine. Before she could stand up from the chair, the chair suddenly collapsed, and she sat down on the ground with a thud.
Ouch—
She didn’t know how many glass shards had pierced her butt.
Chang Hua leaned against the wall and walked out of the room to get some air in the courtyard. Unexpectedly, a fruit suddenly fell from a fruit tree in the courtyard, hitting Chang Hua’s head.
Ouch—
Chang Hua reached out to touch her head and realized her hand was wet!
Was her head bleeding from the hit?
No.
Looking at her open palm, it wasn’t blood; it was bird droppings!
“Ah—” Chang Hua’s scream echoed in the sky above San Nan Village.
“Ah—” At the same time, Chang Ba also screamed.
Chang Ba’s situation wasn’t better than Chang Hua’s; it was even more unlucky.
He fell in front of his own gate, was hit in the foot by Firewood when he was carrying Firewood to start a fire, and couldn’t light a box of matches.
He drank Hot Water to calm his nerves but received an even bigger shock. Because as soon as he picked up the cup, it shattered. As a result, blood flowed from his palm. He looked for hemostatic medicine to bandage it, but found that the medicine had expired.
The uncle and nephew began to believe Du Qingyang’s words. But they still couldn’t break off the engagement. To save their lives, they hurriedly went to the Neighboring Village to find the Half-Day Immortal blind Grandma Jin.
