My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 1090 - 1060: Breaking the Five Elements Formation and Resolving Grievances

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1060: Breaking the Five Elements Formation and Resolving Grievances

Qin Liuxi obtained some great treasures from Ksitigarbha and then left the Underworld to return to her body.

She wasn’t lying, there are priorities to address, and before going to the Book Collection Pavilion, she had to handle the matters of the Li Family.

As soon as her Primordial Spirit returned to its place, Feng Xiu turned and saw two new Magic Artifacts on her body, his eyebrows twitched, and he said, "You really don’t let any opportunity slip by, do you?"

Gui Jianchou, the nickname, is not unfounded!

Qin Liuxi fondled the Vajra Ruler, looking pleased, and said, "The ancestors are too kind!"

’Ancestors’: We were forced!

Qin Liuxi put away the Vajra Ruler and tied the Qiankun Bag around her waist. She touched the wallet, which was already in the Qiankun Bag, and then looked at the large pit that had been dug up: "How’s the preparation?"

Feng Xiu replied, "We can enshrine them once you return and dispel the resentment."

Qin Liuxi glanced at the neat rows of small coffins, nodded, and called Li Xuefu forward, saying, "I have consulted your ancestors."

Li Xuefu’s eyes lit up, "My ancestors haven’t reincarnated yet?"

Qin Liuxi chuckled, "The man committed sins, and they weren’t settled in the human world. Now in the underworld, through his life’s merits and demerits, he’s being punished. He’s in the Sword Mountain Hell, sentenced to twenty years, with two more to go."

But twenty years in hell isn’t the same as twenty years in the human world.

Li Xuefu’s face turned pale. Sword Mountain Hell, is it one of the layers of the legendary Eighteen Layers of Hell?

So it actually exists!

His face pale, he asked, "Then what is the meaning from the ancestor?"

"Disperse your family’s wealth to atone, these children each..." Qin Liuxi proceeded to tell the details of the children.

Li Xuefu listened and said, "Several families here have received aid from my Li Family, my grandfather decided that."

Qin Liuxi took out talisman paper and a talisman pen, "How your family disperses its wealth is not my concern. I want ten thousand taels as the fortune-telling fee for my services this time. But I suggest you spend the Silver wisely. Return some to the families of these children, but don’t return it all. The joy derived from the Silver gained by trading the children’s lives is undeserving and brings more harm than good, so aid them appropriately. You can use their names to do good deeds, accumulate merit, and dispel resentment. Lighting long-burning lamps in temples or Daoist Temples for them can also help."

Li Xuefu nodded repeatedly.

Qin Liuxi then drew the Resentment Relief Talisman and also wrote each one’s birth dates and names, which she had obtained through backdoor dealings with the Judge. Otherwise, if Li Xuefu were to investigate, the time might have made the children’s families forget when the missing children were born.

She wrote carefully while Feng Xiu was already arranging the incense candles and paper money.

Qin Liuxi readied everything and personally burned incense in reverence to heaven. Without a Peach Wood Sword, the Vajra Ruler given by Ksitigarbha could also be used; it could ward off ghosts and had scriptures on it, thus it could also transcend and dispel resentment.

She trod the Gang Steps, murmuring incantations: "Many lives are bound by resentment, resentment is hard to unravel, a lifetime of forming resentment leads to three lifetimes of relentless retribution..."

Dark clouds gathered, and a chilling wind arose.

Li Xuefu, as the descendant of the Li Family, was the first to feel the bone-chilling cold and the sharp, piercing ghostly wails, each sound sorrowful and miserable.

Intense resentful energy surrounded him, like sharp knives cutting into his body, unbearably painful.

Li Xuefu knelt on the ground, kowtowing, repenting and atoning, and promised to perform good deeds in their names, accumulate merit, and light long-burning lamps and longevity tablets for them.

Qin Liuxi held the talisman paper between two fingers, and as soon as the incantation was cast, the talisman paper ignited without fire.

Except for her and Feng Xiu, everyone else knelt in fear and awe.

The chilling wind howled, and the resentful energy spun endlessly.

Qin Liuxi recited the Heavenly Master’s Spell, a spell specifically to dissolve evil magic. The resentment of these children stemmed, first from the Li Family, second from this Five Elements Mutual Generation Array that turned into an Evil Formation due to the sacrifice of their souls. Yet, it never failed, only transforming auspicious energy into evil energy.

So, it still existed.

Qin Liuxi’s chanting of this spell was to break the array and dispel the wickedness. Once broken, the person who formed the array would suffer backlash, and the resentment would truly be resolved.

Thus, when the Heavenly Master’s Spell was finished, the Vajra Ruler flew from her hand, plunging straight into the Array Core, with a roar, golden light surged, crushing a small jade seal inscribed with ’Heavenly Circle and Earth Square’ into dust.

The array was broken.

The condensed resentful energy, shrouded in golden light, slowly dispersed.

At some place, a Daoist with a child’s face yet full of white hair spewed blood in his Daoist Room, collapsing on the ground, fingers rapidly calculating, utterly astonished.

How could this be?

All was calm and peaceful.

Qin Liuxi opened her eyes, looked at the white bones free from resentment, and said, "Enshroud them."

Li Xuefu promptly called the people over; some initially hesitated, but when Qin Liuxi handed over a few talismans, they proceeded.

Although still jittery, Li Xuefu ran to the Jade Mist that exposed the human head, first paid his respects, then removed and placed the head into one of the coffins.

When the sky was nearing full darkness, all the remains were reinterred. Qin Liuxi tidied up the large pit and had Feng Xiu perform magic to fill it. She then found a spot somewhat distant from the tea mountain and buried the small coffins there.

The feng shui of that large area was decent; to be buried there was somewhat comforting.

Qin Liuxi erected a collective monument, engraved with nine names, and set up a small Law Field. By the time all this was done, night had fallen completely.

The dust had settled. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Li Xuefu felt relieved of the resentment knot, yet what replaced it was a heaviness. Is this really the end of it?

What’s his next step?

"Temple Master, is this all? What should I do?" Li Xuefu asked somewhat bewilderedly, looking at his tea mountain.

The affair today wasn’t grand, yet it wasn’t small either. The Li Family’s tea mountain had corpses buried beneath it; how would he explain this?

Qin Liuxi said, "If this happened in recent years, and you did it, I would tell you to report it to the authorities yourself, but this matter happened long ago, during the era of the previous Emperor. Your ancestor has long since died, and the one who formed the array is nowhere to be found, essentially dead without evidence and extremely difficult to prosecute. My earlier suggestion still stands: find the descendants of these children and quietly compensate them a bit, then use their names to widely do good deeds. Don’t think that just because there’s no evidence, it’s over. The wealth meant to be distributed must be distributed."

Li Xuefu hurriedly said, "Mr. Li doesn’t dare."

"The Li Family can no longer run the tea business, and Yuwu Imperial Tea no longer exists. As for how to explain this, as a tea merchant of tribute tea, you understand this better than I do. Since the wealth must be scattered, consider finding a trustworthy family to entrust the tea mountain, which would bring strength in return, helping you navigate through this crisis together. When the tea merchant position of the Li Family changes hands, perform the good deeds that ought to be done, and then lead your family to live low-key and modestly, carry out good deeds, accumulate virtue, endure through two generations of hard days, and this matter will pass. You can treat my words as hot air, but whatever the outcome, you’ll have to bear it yourself, I won’t intervene again!"
