Chapter 148 Died in Vain
"Old lady, you didn't get your son's talisman from me." Ling Chu took out a wealth-protecting talisman with a cold face and compared it with the one in Zhao Laifu's hand.
The talisman in her hand was slightly smaller than the one in Zhao Laifu's hand, and the color of the talisman paper was darker.
Ling Chu opened two more talisman papers in front of everyone for everyone to see, "These two talisman papers not only have different fonts, but also use different cinnabar."
Those onlookers took a closer look and found that the two talismans were indeed different. Although they could not understand the words on the talisman paper, the talisman in the Taoist nun's hand had simple and smooth fonts. The cinnabar was bright red in color, had a good luster, and exuded a sense of agility.
But on the one in Zhao Laifu's hand, not only did the words on it appear arrogant, but the color of the cinnabar was also a bit dark red, giving people the feeling of floating on the surface, and the luster was also dim.
Ling Chu waited for everyone to see clearly, then walked back to the stall, took out a blank piece of yellow paper, and also took out the brush and cinnabar, and drew a wealth-protecting talisman on the spot.
Now everyone saw it clearly, "This Taoist nun is indeed not lying. These two talismans look similar, but in fact they are not the same at all."
"Yes, old lady, you must have made a mistake. That talisman does not belong to this Taoist nun at all. You have mistakenly blamed her."
"Old lady, you have found the wrong person. Your son bought a fake talisman and killed himself. He was confused, and so are you. You didn't even find the right culprit."
Ling Chu frowned after hearing this. Although these people were speaking to defend her, they were wrong.
"Old lady, although the talisman your son requested is different from mine, it is not fake."
Everyone present was stunned, not understanding what she meant.
The old lady was also puzzled, "It's impossible. If the talisman is real, then why did my son die?"
Ling Chu just let everyone see the talisman papers just to let them see the difference between the two talisman papers, not to prove that the one in Zhao Laifu's hand was fake.
She has always had her say and will not deliberately slander others just to prove her innocence.
"The wealth-protecting talisman that Zhao Laiguang requested is indeed genuine. There is nothing wrong with the talisman. What is problematic is his fortune. When your son came to me for fortune telling, I had already warned him that his fortune was weak and he could not bear it. If you try to keep the windfall, you will die.
But he refused to listen to the advice and insisted on asking for such a wealth-protecting talisman. Now that he has lost his life, he can only blame himself. "
The old lady was stunned for a moment. Her son was not harmed by this Taoist nun, but she couldn't blame the person who sold the talisman to her son.
After all, there was nothing wrong with the other person's talisman. She couldn't settle the score with them just because they sold real talisman paper.
Then her son's death would be in vain?
The old lady suddenly collapsed on the ground and burst into tears.
Zhao Laifu also squatted aside, choking and wiping tears.
Onlookers saw the mother and son crying miserably and couldn't help but sympathize with them.
Although Ling Chu was annoyed with the old lady for calling her a monster indiscriminately, but now that she was crying so hard, she couldn't say anything else.
There was originally a hexagram today, but now that things are like this, Ling Chu doesn't want to stay any longer.
He simply turned around and returned to the stall, starting to pack his things and prepare to go home.
The ghost of Zhao Laiguang saw his mother and brother crying sadly, and he also wiped his tears aside.
He is now so ruined that his intestines are green. The Taoist nun is right. There is a time in life that must be there, but there is no time in life. Don't force it.
If he had listened to this Taoist nun and not forcibly kept the money he won from gambling, he would still be living well now.
Although he is not rich, at least he will not lose his life.
Thinking of his father, wife, and young children at home, Zhao Laiguang slapped himself hard.
A few slaps.
Seeing Ling Chu packing his things and getting ready to leave, Zhao Laiguang hurriedly floated towards her.
With a plop, he knelt down.
"Xiangu, Xiangu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so blinded by lard that I thought you were a liar and didn't listen to you."
Zhao Laiguang kowtowed and slapped himself in the face, "Xiangu, I was wrong, I was blind, please forgive me this time..."
Ling Chu sighed, he had known this, why did he do it in the first place.
Seeing Zhao Laiguang blocking her way, she waved to him angrily, motioning to go aside.
Although his mother made a scene because of this idiot.
But he was already dead, so what else could he do? He couldn't just beat the other person up for this.
Seeing that Ling Chu was not blamed, Zhao Laiguang was overjoyed.
Although he is dead, he still has a family, and he is really afraid that the Taoist nun will resent his relatives because of this.
Seeing Ling Chu preparing to leave, Zhao Laiguang hurriedly floated in front of her again.
Seeing her glaring over impatiently, he kept smiling and said, "Xiangu, can you do me a favor?"
Ling Chu paused, "What are you busy with?"
I didn't complete the three hexagrams today, so I lost a piece of silver. It would be good if I could earn some merit.
"Let's say it first. It's okay to ask me for help, but I have to charge money."
Zhao Laiguang originally just tried to beg for help, but he didn't expect that the Taoist nun was actually willing to help, and he nodded with joy.
"I understand, I understand, it's appropriate to collect money."
The onlookers hadn't dispersed yet, and Ling Chu didn't want others to think she was crazy, talking to herself in the empty air.
He said softly to Zhao Laiguang, "Tell me, what help do you need from me? Murder and arson are things that go against the will of heaven. No matter how much money I get, I won't do it."
Zhao Lai Guang smiled bitterly. Although he lost his life because of the talisman paper, he still felt resentful.
But he couldn't go to the Taoist priest of Chongxu Temple to settle accounts because the talisman paper he sold was real.
The Taoist priest originally said that he was a person with a lot of wealth and a weak body, and he was not blessed with a windfall. He just didn't believe it and insisted on buying the talisman paper.
Zhao Lai Guang regretted it and slapped himself again when he remembered that he had given the Taoist priest thirty taels of silver in order to let him sell the talisman paper.
Ling Chu...
It was right to call him a fool. Others at most paid for punishment, but this fool paid for death.
Zhao Lai Guang felt a lump in his heart.
"What do you want to help? Tell me quickly." Ling Chu didn't want to stay with this fool any longer, lest her IQ was lowered.
"Fairy, I won a few times in Changlefang before and hid some of the money, but my family didn't know. Can you tell them for me?"
She thought it was a troublesome matter, but she didn't expect it was just a few words.
This is like giving her a merit for free.
"Where is the money?"
"I buried it under the third big tree behind my pigsty. I am willing to pay thirty taels to ask the fairy to help me inform my family."
The old lady cried for a while, knowing that she had wronged Ling Chu, and hurried over to apologize.
Ling Chu did not refuse. After she apologized, he said, "I just told you a fortune. Your son buried a sum of money under the third big tree behind your pigsty."
The old lady was stunned, and then she thanked Ling Chu after she was happy.
"No need to thank me. I charge for fortune-telling. The fortune-telling fee is five taels."
I have been in a bad mood these two days. I finally applied for a recommendation position, but because the recent votes and subscriptions are not ideal, and I can't meet the requirement of 10,000 words a day, I have to change the recommendation position to other books.
I am really crying (д;)
