Chapter 589 Aftereffects of Devouring
"Kobayashi, what do you mean?"
Third Master's eyes narrowed, as if he understood something.
"Third Master, let me give you a few examples, and you'll understand what I mean!"
Fatty Lin smiled and used examples from things we had handled before.
For example, pop diva Xia Wen and her husband Li Jing. Xia Wen used to drink and do drugs in Hong Kong, and the toxins from her pregnancy were transferred to her child. Li Jing raised a ghost child, which also caused the backlash to be transferred to the child. The two of them did this, which is why the child had problems from birth.
That's not all; Xia Wen also made offerings to her guru.
For example, kung fu superstar Li Feihong adopted a godson and stole his godson's fortune.
For example, Xie Xiaohu's mother, Li Hailun, is a well-known fox spirit broker and amulet dealer in Hong Kong.
In the entertainment industry, none of those who become famous have played simple roles.
"Third Master, which of these people in the entertainment industry is clean? If they themselves are not clean, how can their luck be pure? Raising ghost children, worshipping fox spirits, and performing sacrifices—the bigger the star, the more shady things they do. It's inevitable that Little Fox will absorb luck from them, absorbing the yin energy from raising ghost children, the seductive evil from worshipping fox spirits, and the resentful evil from their sacrifices!"
At this point, Fatty Lin paused, then looked at Third Master and said, "And all this Yin energy was absorbed by Little Fox. With all this accumulated over time, how could you possibly recover, Third Master?"
"I wasn't thinking about any of that at the time!"
Third Master suddenly realized, and muttered, "I had three choices back then: one was to send Little Fox to our circle to absorb its luck, another was to send Little Fox to the business world to absorb its luck, and the last one was the entertainment industry!"
"I know this circle very well; they're all ruthless and heartless. Sending Xiaoli there is like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it's a one-way trip!"
"The same goes for business districts; none of those old foxes are simple!"
"I ultimately chose the entertainment industry, but I never imagined that my choice would backfire on me!"
I didn't respond, and Third Master still didn't tell the truth.
He didn't send Xiaoli into his circle not because he was afraid of wasting his time, but because he was afraid that things would be exposed and people would trace the clues back to him. As for whether Xiaoli lived or died, it didn't really matter.
As for the business district, it's possible they were telling the truth.
"Third Master, your condition isn't serious yet, there's still time to stop!" I couldn't help but advise.
Xiao Li has only been in the entertainment industry for a short time and hasn't met many people yet. As time goes on, she will meet more and more people and absorb more and more resentment.
If Third Master doesn't stop, he'll receive a lot of resentment in return.
"I'll consider it!"
Third Master said.
"Third Master, the entertainment industry is a mixed bag!"
Fatty Lin glanced at me, then continued, "Some celebrities worship Kumanthong (a type of Thai spirit doll) year-round, some specialize in playing with amulets, and others set up Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth formations. As for those who use corpse oil to solidify their love luck, perform love spells, or engage in evil feng shui to boost their fortune, there are even more of them!"
"If she keeps sucking like this, Little Tanuki will eventually break down!"
"I know, I'll think about it later and figure out how to give Xiao Li back her freedom!" Third Master said.
After saying that, he looked at us and asked, "Are these evil spirits on me easy to remove?"
"It wasn't easy!" I shook my head and said, "Third Master, feng shui is a matter of fortune and misfortune. There are gains and losses. While you were borrowing good fortune, you also swallowed a lot of negative energy from the entertainment industry."
"Ordinary feng shui evil energy, a single evil spirit, is easy to resolve, but the one on you is different. It is a mixed evil spirit created by the superposition of various evil arts by countless artists. It is diverse, entangled in cause and effect, and complicated and unsolvable."
As I spoke, I shook my head. Fatty Lin chimed in, "Third Master, it would be better for an ordinary person, but you hold a high position, have a strong destiny, and an extremely powerful aura. The stronger the destiny, the more severe the backlash will be when it encounters this kind of chaotic evil."
Third Master's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened.
"Third Master, don't worry. With us brothers here, and with our past kindness in our hearts, we'll find a way to help you out of even the most difficult situation!"
Seeing that the time was right, Fatty Lin brought the conversation back on track.
"Thank you for your trouble!" Third Master said, forcing a smile.
"Third Master, we have to do it no matter how troublesome it is. Without your help, how could we be where we are today?" Fatty Lin's words were so loud that anyone who didn't know better would think we had a very good relationship.
Actually, our relationship with Third Master had already broken down last year.
When Fatty Lin said this, he was actually referring to Third Master.
Third Master also knows that the little bit of friendship we had before is long gone.
"Third Master, before you came, did you consult other masters?"
Having pledged his loyalty, Fatty Lin asked casually.
"I've looked for it!"
A strange light flashed in Third Master's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Before coming here, I consulted several masters. They said I have too much karma on my body, and it's impossible to trace its origin. Ordinary methods of suppressing evil spirits won't work, and acting rashly could easily cause a backlash, so I didn't dare to make a move!"
At this point, Third Master paused and said, "Thirteen, Xiao Lin, it seems you two are the most reliable ones after all!"
Upon hearing this, my heart tightened. Could it be that Third Master, that old codger, has realized we're valuable and wants to take us back?
We finally managed to break off all ties with him, so we can't afford to get involved with him again.
"Third Master, what you're saying isn't that we're reliable, but that we have a past relationship with you. We'd rather suffer the consequences than not help you!" Fatty Lin took over the conversation, emphasizing the word "past."
The meaning is simple: we saved you this time because of our past relationship; as for rekindling our past romance, don't even think about it.
Third Master's face stiffened; he clearly understood, but quickly masked it, saying, "Thirteen, Xiao Lin, whatever you need this time, just name it—money, resources, or favors?"
"Third Master, don't worry, we won't hold back!"
Fatty Lin smiled and said, "Your problem is difficult to treat, but it's treatable!"
"It's difficult to treat because the malevolent energy in your body is a complex mixture of various types, with no single solution; it's treatable because the malevolent energy is ultimately an external evil, not rooted in your natal spirit, but merely residing in your meridian energy field, plus you arrived just in time!"
"Third Master, but there's one thing I must make clear beforehand!" I added, holding up one finger.
"Thirteen, you speak!" Third Master said.
"Third Master, the process of resolving this will be very dangerous. You will suffer considerable pain, both physically and mentally. Once you get back, you must rest and recuperate. Don't do anything like that anymore; your body can't handle it!"
I said in a deep voice.
"Thirteen, don't worry, I understand!"
Third Master agreed without the slightest hesitation.
My heart sank. Third Master agreed too readily, without even thinking. He didn't really want to agree, nor did he want to let Xiao Li go.
"Third Master, since that's the case, let's hold an altar tonight to help you cleanse yourself of the evil spirits and restore your aura," Fatty Lin said.
