Chapter 542 The Cunning Wang 3mu
"In less than ten months!"
Fourth Aunt said.
"What do you mean?" I was a little confused.
"If things go quickly, it will take three months to complete; if they go slowly, it will take about six months!" Fourth Aunt said coldly.
"Sister Ling, do you mean to take the child out after the child has been possessed by a spirit?" I understood immediately.
"That's right!" Fourth Wife nodded and said, "This is a hospital, everything is convenient. We can take it out and offer it as a sacrifice!"
"Who's doing it? Is it still Wang Sanmu?" I asked.
"Not confirmed yet!"
Fourth Aunt shook her head and said, "Wang Sanmu has been trying to outsmart me these past few days, but he can't escape!"
"Sister Ling, is there anything we can do for you?" I asked after thinking for a moment.
"Just like last time, ensure the boss's safety and make sure nothing happens to him!" Fourth Wife said.
"No problem!"
I agreed immediately.
Healing the sick and saving lives is my traditional profession. As for sacrificial rituals, whoever wants to do them can do them; we cannot do them.
"Also, you should come over more often during this time, and it would be best to make a rehabilitation plan for the boss!" Fourth Wife added.
"OK!"
I agreed again.
Just then, Fourth Wife's phone rang. She glanced at it, answered it, and said, "You've arrived?"
"Alright, come on up, Thirteen and the others are here too!"
After hanging up, Fourth Aunt said, "Wang Sanmu has arrived!"
Five minutes later, we met Wang Sanmu.
"Fourth Madam, President Zhu!"
After Wang Sanmu arrived, he first greeted Fourth Aunt and Zhu Minghua, then nodded to us, "Thirteen, Xiaolin, Nier!"
"Uncle Wang!"
"You can't hit someone who's smiling," we replied.
"Master Wang, have you thought this through?"
After we greeted her, Fourth Aunt asked in a cold voice.
"Fourth Wife, the boss has suffered a terrible blow this time!"
Wang Sanmu looked troubled. "To be honest, the boss's fall this time wasn't an ordinary fall. It was caused by too many sacrifices, resulting in a backlash of malevolent energy. It's a karmic debt settlement. Performing the Seven Star Life-Extending Formation at this time is going against fate. Whoever does it will suffer the backlash, and if things go wrong, someone could die!"
"Name your price!" Fourth Wife said calmly.
"Fourth Aunt, it's not about the money!" Wang Sanmu said, looking troubled.
"I'll state my price!" Fourth Aunt said, staring at Wang Sanmu and enunciating each word clearly.
"Fourth Aunt, it's not that I don't want to do it, but the Seven Star Life Extension technique seizes the creation of heaven and earth and steals the lifespan of yin and yang. It is exchanging human lives for human lives. Even if it's the first time, you will suffer backlash, let alone the fact that the gambling king did it for the third time!" Wang Sanmu still didn't give in.
Wang Sanmu was telling the truth. The Seven Stars Life Extension Sacrifice to one's relatives and offspring, a life-changing act against the will of Heaven, is an evil technique that violates the laws of Heaven and morality, damages one's virtue, and diminishes one's blessings, leading to the extinction of one's lineage.
Whoever performs this kind of magic will suffer misfortune.
Wang Sanmu used to be penniless, so he was fearless and just did what he was told.
But he is different now; he is surrounded by learned scholars and has no dealings with the uncultured.
With his current wealth and power, he has no intention of taking this risk.
"I'll say it again, name your price!"
Fourth Aunt stood up, her gaze sharp as a knife, as if she would kill Wang Sanmu if he didn't agree.
I can understand that. Gambling King Lu is now like a cripple and can no longer protect her.
It won't take too long, at most six months, before the second wife can get her married.
Therefore, the fourth wife has no way out.
"Fourth Wife, I really can't bear this karmic burden. Even if you threaten me with the child and I reluctantly agree, I still won't be able to perform the ritual wholeheartedly. What if something goes wrong..."
Wang Sanmu didn't elaborate, but his meaning was clear: he was willing to do it, but he couldn't guarantee the success of the Seven Star Life Extension Formation.
Fourth Wife glared at her and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"Fourth Aunt, this isn't the first or second time we've cooperated. Leaving aside the minor rituals we've performed before, I've already conducted the Seven Star Life-Extending Formation twice. You should know very well that if I can bear the karmic consequences, I'm not afraid to!"
Wang Sanmu said in a deep voice.
"Fourth Madam, but don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who abandons his responsibilities. I always see things through to the end!" Wang Sanmu said, seeing that Fourth Madam and Zhu Minghua's faces were so dark they could drip water.
"What exactly do you mean?" Fourth Aunt asked suspiciously.
"Fourth Aunt, what I mean is simple: I won't do the life-extending ritual this time, but I can recommend a capable master to do it for you!" Fatty Lin said.
"Recommend?" Fourth Aunt frowned.
"Fourth Wife, there's nothing we can't talk about. I'm not doing it this time for two reasons: first, I'm afraid of the karmic consequences; second, I've made enough money and don't want to take any risks. But while I've made enough, some people haven't!"
Wang Sanmu smiled and said, "In our circle, only a minority like me have made it this far. Even for people like Thirteen, it's only been a couple of years since they became successful. The majority don't. And many of those are just hoping for a chance to get rich like this!"
"Many of them are not afraid of cause and effect, nor of retribution!"
At this point, Wang Sanmu was quite emotional, perhaps thinking of his past self.
That's true. Many people in our line of work are willing to risk their lives for money.
Most of these people do not come from the orthodox lineage.
The orthodox lineage is passed down in an orderly manner with strict rules. If you do not abide by the rules, you will be expelled from the lineage and your supernatural powers will be taken back.
Those who come from unorthodox backgrounds, deal with ghosts, or are taught magic by Yin masters don't have as many taboos.
They will stop at nothing to make money.
Li Feihong's godmother is a prime example.
"Master Wang, do you mean to find me a master like this to perform the Seven Star Life Extension Formation?" Fourth Aunt asked.
"That's right!"
Wang Sanmu nodded and said, "Fourth Aunt, don't worry. The person I'm introducing to you specializes in Yin Sha forbidden arts and is not afraid of divine retribution. He'll set up the formation and preside over the sacrifice; everything will be fine!"
"Are you sure?" Fourth Wife was still uneasy.
"Confirmed!" Wang Sanmu nodded.
Fourth Aunt stared at Wang Sanmu for a long time before saying, "I'm still not at ease!"
"Fourth Aunt, how about this? I'll be there when they set up the formation, and I'll intervene if I notice anything amiss. What do you think?"
Wang Sanmu said.
"Are you sure you won't make a move?" Fourth Wife was unwilling to give up.
"Fourth Wife, I do want to make money, but I value my life even more. I'm certain that if I perform the Seven Star Life-Extending Formation again, I will suffer a backlash and lose my life. What use is money to me then?"
Wang Sanmu said somewhat excitedly.
"Ah Ling, that's fine!"
Fourth Wife wanted to say something more, but Zhu Minghua spoke first and gently tugged at her arm.
"good!"
Fourth Aunt hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Mr. Zhu is really optimistic. It doesn't really matter who performs the Seven Star Life-Extending Formation; what matters is that the formation succeeds and that Gambling King Lu recovers his health, right?"
Wang Sanmu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
