Chapter 131: Ten Lifetimes of Bad Luck

Su Zhanmi made up his mind and immediately said to Lin Chengying, "You are very familiar with the First Celestial Master here, right?"

Lin Chengying nodded with some confusion and said, "Of course, that old gentleman is my grand-martial uncle."

Su Zhanmi immediately said, "The hotel I am staying in right now is full of crooked and evil people; they are thinking about taking over the Shenfeng Cave on Lamma Island."

Lin Chengying was even more confused and said, "What is in that Shenfeng Cave that makes you all flock there like ducks?"

Su Zhanmi said with some surprise, "You don't know? A dharma treasure appeared in that Shenfeng Cave; the foreign devil who invited us here said so."

"And last night, I even saw a strange event with my own eyes."

Because of Uncle Feng's warning, Lin Chengying had not participated in this matter, but he was very interested and hurriedly asked, "Tell me in detail."

Su Zhanmi continued, "Last night, our group all arrived near the Shenfeng Cave, and an old witch named Songcha drove a Resentful Ghost into the Shenfeng Cave."

"After more than half an hour, that Evil Ghost ran back; although it was wounded by your people, its strength increased from a Resentful Ghost to a Fierce Ghost. How powerful would you say that Shenfeng Cave is?"

Lin Chengying gasped, and he immediately understood why so many people were flocking there.

But the problem was, he knew that the Qi of this world was dissipating, and cultivation would become increasingly difficult in the future.

As for the appearance of such a dense blessed land that could rapidly increase one's strength, it should be said to be impossible.

But Lin Chengying remembered one thing: his grandfather, One-Eyebrow Daoist, had said that his grand-martial uncle had a gourd dharma treasure.

That gourd dharma treasure could absorb ghosts and refine them into pure Qi.

Perhaps the Qi in that Shenfeng Cave was released by his grand-martial uncle, but using such precious Qi to create a trap was truly too wasteful.

He did not say these things to Su Zhanmi; he said, "It is indeed very attractive, but where there is something abnormal, there must be a demon. I see that your intentions are still decent, so take care of yourself."

Su Zhanmi said anxiously, "I am telling you this because I want to draw a line between them and me. I will tell you one more thing: the Maoshan apostate Zhang Xiong has returned."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chengying's expression became very ugly; counting it up, Zhang Xiong was also his senior martial brother, and back in the day, Zhang Xiong could be called the pride of the sect.

But he did not expect that not long after arriving in Hong Kong, his Daoist heart would be dyed black by this flashy world.

If it hadn't been for Zhang Xiong's master fighting to protect him, Zhang Sheng would have long since purged the sect.

Lin Chengying nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me this news."

Su Zhanmi nodded happily and said, "Mm, you must tell the other Maoshan people that I have already drawn a line with them."

Lin Chengying nodded and said, "Fine, I will tell the martial uncles and the others. You can rest assured."

Only then did Su Zhanmi leave with peace of mind.

Lin Chengying returned to the security booth, and the young security guard inside asked, "What were you just saying to him? That Nanyang guy looked very happy when he left."

Lin Chengying smiled and said, "Don't look down on him; he still has some skills."

The young security guard did not take it to heart, and Lin Chengying did not explain too much.

At dusk, Lin Chengying got off work, and as soon as he finished, he headed straight for Zhong Fabai's grocery store.

Seeing Lin Chengying arrive, Zhong Fabai hurriedly asked, "A-Ying, how do you have time to come here? How is it? Is the security job okay to do?"

Lin Chengying said with great satisfaction, "It's alright, the work is not hard, and the pay is high. Although the cost of living here is also high, I think I can save a lot of money in a month."

Zhong Fabai smiled and said, "Since you are a security guard, you can also develop your main profession. Hong Kong people still believe in things like Feng Shui; the older generation believes in it even more."

"I think with your skills, you will soon be able to open a Maoshan Daoist hall in Hong Kong."

Lin Chengying said with great confusion, "Actually, Uncle Feng, and you, Uncle, both have very strong skills; why don't you open a Daoist hall?"

Zhong Fabai said with some disdain, "If I had to open a Daoist hall to look at Feng Shui for people every day, I couldn't do it."

"A-Ying, you are different from us; after all, we learned from our martial uncle. That old gentleman is pure-hearted and has few desires, and he doesn't care about these things."

"Let me be honest with you: the reason our martial uncle built the pagoda building on Lamma Island back then was because the Yin energy there was stagnant, and he needed to suppress it."

"Since a figure like our martial uncle, who is like an immortal, hasn't opened a Daoist hall, what kind of hall would we open?"

"Of course, you are different, A-Ying; after all, you have your own responsibilities behind you. You should follow your master's wishes and open a Daoist hall here in Hong Kong."

Lin Chengying immediately said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will absolutely not disgrace the Daoist name of One-Eyebrow Daoist."

Zhong Fabai laughed and said, "That is the Daoist name of our martial uncle's second senior brother. If you dare to do anything that dishonors the name, I will definitely deal with you."

Lin Chengying immediately patted his chest and promised, "I, Lin Chengying, will definitely be a good Daoist who eliminates demons and defends the Dao; I will never be like Zhang Xiong."

Upon hearing the name Zhang Xiong, Zhong Fabai snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the protection of his master's faction, Zhang Xiong would have died long ago."

"I heard he has already returned to Hong Kong."

Lin Chengying seemed to remember something and immediately said, "Uncle, I have news about Zhang Xiong; he was invited back to Hong Kong by a foreign devil."

Zhong Fabai said angrily, "This brat actually dares to come back? If I run into him, I will definitely cripple him!"

Lin Chengying hurriedly said, "Zhang Xiong seems to have participated in the Shenfeng Cave matter. Today I met a Nanyang sorcerer; his name is Su Zhanmi."

"I chatted with him for a long time today; he said his master was named Shan Zhanmi, who was killed by our grand-martial uncle."

"So he came to Hong Kong not wanting to do evil things; he wants to make a living in Hong Kong relying on his sorcery."

Zhong Fabai frowned and said, "What can sorcery, this kind of crooked path, do besides harming people?"

Lin Chengying hurriedly explained, "That's not it, Uncle. I think he can actually find a way."

"Don't sorcerers deal with all kinds of Gu insects? I heard that there are parasites in the human body; I think he should be able to solve the parasites in the human body, right?"

Zhong Fabai said with great surprise, "A-Ying, what you say makes a lot of sense. Come to think of it, parasites are a type of Gu insect, just that the harm doesn't look as severe as those powerful Gu insects."

"If a sorcerer were really to come, he would definitely know where the parasites are in the human body, and he wouldn't even need to use medicine or anything to solve the parasites."

Lin Chengying nodded and said, "That is exactly what I thought. I saw that his intentions were quite good, which is why I befriended him."

Zhong Fabai nodded slightly and said, "This person is indeed not bad. You can rest assured; if the Shenfeng Cave matter was really planned by our martial uncle, he definitely won't wrongly kill a good person."

Lin Chengying said with relief, "Since you say so, Uncle, then I am relieved."

"Uncle, Zhang Xiong is in the hotel right now; should I go and see him?"

Zhong Fabai thought for a moment and said, "It would be good for you to go and see him. Warn Zhang Xiong that if he refuses to repent, then I, Zhong Fabai, will definitely cripple him, so he doesn't use Maoshan arts to harm people."

Lin Chengying hurriedly nodded and said, "I understand, Uncle."

Liang Hui didn't know why he was so unlucky; in any case, from the moment he was born until now, he had never been lucky.

As a low-level hood on the street that even the street thugs looked down upon, he could only set up a small stall on the roadside selling beef offal.

One day, while he was selling beef offal on the street, a chamber pot was thrown down from above, and he couldn't continue his business.

It truly was "it rains when the roof leaks"; a group of young thugs even came to cause him trouble.

In short, he, Liang Hui, had been down on his luck for over twenty years, but these were all minor matters.

Although he was being harassed by a few thugs, fortunately, his good friend stepped in to resolve the situation.

But when the three of them went to a restaurant to eat, Liang Hui stepped forward to help his good friend ask Fatty Wen for the money he owed, and as a result, this fatty died.

This gave Big Eyeglasses, who had always wanted him to be an informant, an opportunity.

The reason Big Eyeglasses had his eyes on Liang Hui was because of the Zhang Xiong affair.

Although Zhang Xiong was forced to flee to Taiwan Island because of the Zhang Sheng affair, his business in Hong Island was not affected much.

His gang was still thriving in Hong Island; after all, Zhang Xiong also knew Maoshan Arts, and by using a few minor spells, he could make his underlings stronger than ordinary street thugs.

This time, when Zhang Xiong returned, his underlings couldn't wait to expand their territory and compete with big gangs like Hung Hing.

As an inspector for the Anti-Triad Unit, Big Eyeglasses naturally kept his eyes on Zhang Xiong; he felt that as long as he could get Zhang Xiong thrown into prison, there wouldn't be any major conflicts.

But Liang Hui was nothing more than a loser; how could he dare to offend the wealthy and powerful Zhang Xiong?

Big Eyeglasses was also helpless; he knew Liang Hui was an unlucky person and could only think of another way.

However, when evening came, Liang Hui was rounded up by his brothers, as the gang was going to war that night, and their opponents were Zhang Xiong's underlings.

Since Zhang Xiong had returned from Taiwan Island, his underlings were naturally not what they used to be, and the gang Liang Hui belonged to was naturally no match for Zhang Xiong's underlings.

During the brawl, Liang Hui saw Zhang Xiong, who sneered as he looked at the familiar-looking Liang Hui and said coldly, "This is only the first life; there are nine more to go, so take your time and suffer."

Liang Hui was very confused and didn't know why a big boss like Zhang Xiong would say such inexplicable things to him.

The battle had already begun inside the theater, but Big Eyeglasses was unaware of it; he was still outside keeping watch.

At this moment, Xiao Furong, who had been killed by Zhang Xiong, appeared and found Big Eyeglasses, who was keeping watch outside.

Big Eyeglasses was startled by the woman who had suddenly appeared, and Xiao Furong hurriedly said, "Officer, there are many people fighting inside the theater; you should go and take a look."

Once Big Eyeglasses heard that there was a fight in the theater, he didn't care about anything suspicious and immediately called his brothers to enter the theater.

Fortunately, the police arrived in time and took Liang Hui back.

Zhang Xiong was also brought to the police station by someone.

Big Eyeglasses immediately took the documents to interrogate Zhang Xiong, and Zhang Xiong said unscrupulously, "I, Zhang Xiong, was invited by you all to Hong Island to attend a conference. Officer, I was attacked while watching a play in the theater; this is your dereliction of duty."

Big Eyeglasses was so angry he laughed, "You bring so many people, so many knives and clubs, just to watch a play?"

Zhang Xiong smiled and said, "What's wrong with me inviting my brothers to watch a play? Is that against the law?"

A man in a white suit on the side said loudly, "Officer, is there a problem? Those kids like to carry some things on them; how would we know?"

Big Eyeglasses shouted, "They wouldn't be doing these things if you hadn't ordered them to!"

The man in the white suit immediately retorted, "You think just because you're a cop you can talk nonsense? What are you acting tough for? Want to go outside and fight one-on-one?"

Big Eyeglasses directly reached out and grabbed the inner thigh of the man in the white suit, shouting in a low voice, "Are you acting tough?"

Zhang Xiong naturally did not sit idly by; as soon as he grabbed Big Eyeglasses's arm, Big Eyeglasses felt such pain that his veins bulged.

Zhang Xiong curled the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Officer, if you have anything to say, you can tell my lawyer; there's no need to throw your weight around."

Having said that, he let go of his hand, and Big Eyeglasses immediately pulled his hand back, his arm trembling uncontrollably.

Zhang Xiong said with a look of contempt, "I thought you were different from before, but I didn't expect you to be the same, still only knowing how to intimidate. This is a society ruled by law now; everything must be based on the law."

Just as he was speaking, the lawyer arrived, holding the bail documents to take Zhang Xiong away.

Seeing the complete paperwork, Big Eyeglasses had nothing to say; he could only make a harsh threat to Zhang Xiong, then went to pay his respects to Guan Er Ye with a sense of defeat.

Zhang Xiong sneered, "What's the use of you police officers worshipping Guan Er Ye? He might not be able to protect you at critical moments."

After saying that, he glared, and the glass lamp in front of the portrait of Guan Er Ye exploded instantly.

Although Big Eyeglasses knew it was Zhang Xiong who had done it, he couldn't explain such unscientific things, so he immediately pulled Liang Hui up and said, "I still have a witness to testify against you!"

Zhang Xiong gave a contemptuous smile and glared at Liang Hui, who felt as if he remembered his previous life being killed and Xiao Furong being brutally murdered.

Although those were just fragmented pieces, it still made Liang Hui feel terrible; he only felt a splitting headache in his head, and then he rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, and fainted.

Zhang Xiong gave a cold laugh and swaggered out of the police station.

Although Big Eyeglasses was very angry, he was helpless and could only let his subordinates send Liang Hui to the hospital first.

Fortunately, the next day, Liang Hui woke up, but before he could recover, an old man told him he was in mortal danger.

Immediately after, his two good brothers came, tricked Liang Hui out of his watch, and left.

Liang Hui was thinking about being discharged from the hospital, only to discover that the old man who had warned him had died long ago, which scared Liang Hui into leaving the hospital immediately.

Liang Hui never expected that he would be so unlucky as to encounter a ghost upon entering the hospital.

However, he was already used to it; after all, he had been very unlucky since he was born.

Now that he was out of the hospital, he had nowhere to go, so he walked aimlessly on the street.

It just so happened that he saw someone selling watches on the side of the road; thinking his watch was gone, he went up to take a look, and at a glance, he saw the watch from his previous life and immediately couldn't put it down.

But he didn't know that this watch had been placed there by Xiao Furong on purpose; as soon as he put it on, Xiao Furong led Liang Hui to their former love nest.

It was just that in the eyes of others, they couldn't see Xiao Furong at all, only Liang Hui running wildly on the road like a fool.

Big Eyeglasses saw the abnormal Liang Hui and hurriedly chased after him.

And as Liang Hui entered the love nest, he looked at the somewhat familiar environment, and memories kept flooding in!
