Chapter 212 Cishan Temple
"Master Lin, these are not problems. Is there anything else you need?"
Ever since the skull was unearthed, Yu Mingyi's gaze towards Fatty Lin has changed, and he has accepted all of Fatty Lin's requests.
I have my doubts. Even if Fatty Lin said he wanted to examine his daughter's bones, tell her fortune, and give her some deep conditioning, he would have agreed.
That's all for now!
Fatty Lin waved his hand, returned to the altar, respectfully saw the gods back to their positions, removed the altar's protective barrier, packed up the ritual implements, and distributed the offerings on the altar to the Yu family members.
Yu Mingyi hesitated for a moment when asked about the offerings he received, then gave her an inquiring look.
"This is a blessed item; it can cleanse you of impurities!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingyi didn't waste any words and immediately started eating.
"Xiao Ba, you eat too!"
Fatty Lin handed Xiao Ba another kumquat.
Xiao Ba peeked out and cautiously looked at Fatty Lin.
"May you share in this good fortune, so you won't be so afraid next time!" Fatty Lin nodded at Xiao Ba's head and said with a smile.
"Chirp!"
Xiao Ba nodded, took the kumquat, and handed it to Long Ni'er.
Long Nier understood immediately, peeled off the skin, and fed it to Xiao Ba piece by piece.
"You little rascal, you know how to enjoy life!" I said with a laugh.
"Chirp!"
Little Eight snorted and tilted its nose.
I smiled and stopped teasing her. I was afraid that if I kept teasing her, the little thing would get impatient again.
Turning around, I helped Fatty Lin clean the jar.
After cleaning the altar and tidying up the scene, we left.
Three days later, the skull of the Yu family ancestor was purified, and we went to Shabei Village to bury the skull in the tomb.
There aren't many rules for burial, but there's one thing to note: the descendants of the Yu family need to cut their fingers and let their blood mix with the soil of the grave, symbolizing atonement for their sins.
In addition, five emperor coins should be buried around the tomb to set up a five-element warding-off formation to prevent any mishaps.
Of course, the Yu family paid for the Five Emperors Coins themselves; we're not generous enough to take out the Five Emperors Coins that the White Dragon King gave us to ward off evil spirits for the Yu family.
"Mr. Yu, for the next three years, your Yu family must personally come to pay respects to our ancestors every Qingming Festival!"
After finishing the task, Fatty Lin gave the instructions again.
"Master Lin, don't worry, we will definitely come!" Yu Mingyi said.
After saying that, he asked somewhat anxiously, "Master Lin, is my life safe?"
"Mr. Yu, I can't guarantee your life. But if I suddenly pass away one day, then I can guarantee your life. My ancestors still have some connections in the underworld!" Fatty Lin patted Yu Mingyi and joked.
"Master Feng is joking!" Yu Mingyi said.
"hey-hey!"
Fatty Lin chuckled and said, "Mr. Yu, don't worry. With your health, you'll easily live another twenty years!"
"That's good!"
Yu Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a perfect ending for someone who has lived this long.
Yu Mingyi was very sensible. He gave us a big red envelope, inside which was a check for ten million yuan.
Not only did they give us red envelopes, but the White Dragon King also received one, which served as a commission.
The White Dragon King said that Yu Mingyi gave him two million, which was 20% of ten million, a standard brokerage fee.
After receiving the two million, the White Dragon King was a little embarrassed and said he would promote our story more.
Not only the White Dragon King, but the day after the skull was buried, Yu Mingyi announced that the curse on the Yu family had been resolved. He even found some newspapers to report on it and published a photo of Fatty Lin's face covered in golden light and three sticks of incense rising straight up.
Fatty Lam became famous throughout Hong Kong Island as a result.
Previously, his fame was limited to a small circle, but this time, with the news being reported, Fatty Lin is now a household name in Hong Kong.
Once he became famous, Fenglin Hall was overflowing with people. Anyone with a little spare money wanted to come and see what the master who had broken the Yu family's century-old curse really looked like!
Lin Pangzi's sudden popularity was completely unexpected and has even somewhat affected Fenglintang's normal business operations.
Finally, at the suggestion of Fourth Aunt, the prices of all kinds of tonics in Fenglin Hall were increased significantly, and Fatty Lin's consultation fees started at two million.
With a combination of measures, plus Lin Pangzi closing his doors to visitors and not leaving the house for half a month, the hype finally died down.
Sometimes, being too famous can be a problem.
Not only in Hong Kong Island, but even Aunt Xiao and her family were alarmed and called to inquire about the situation.
Fatty Lin was very eloquent, and he left Aunt Xiao speechless.
It's been almost a month since the hype completely died down.
I don't understand why Yu Mingyi did this. He was indeed promoting Fatty Lin, but he also put Fatty Lin in the spotlight.
With our reputation in Hong Kong, even if Yu Mingyi didn't promote us, we could still make a living.
I just wanted to earn some stable money and didn't want to be pushed out as a pawn. Later, it was Fourth Wife who cleared up our doubts.
Fourth Wife said that the Yu family is a century-old family that has risen and fallen many times. The curse of the Yu family is known to all Chinese people in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia.
As long as this curse is not lifted, outsiders will see the Yu family as no different from looking at Tang Sanzang's flesh, all waiting for Yu Mingyi to die and be divided up.
Even if Yu Mingyi hadn't died, many people were already eyeing the Yu family, ready to take action at any time.
After Yu Dongxuan's death, the core assets were swallowed up by someone not long after.
What are the core assets of the Yu family?
Back then, the Yu family's core assets were not the hundreds of plots of land in prime locations, nor the Yu Ren Sheng business that they had run for decades, but rather the bank.
The bank is the core asset of the Yu family.
Decades later, land that was not originally in the core area has now become the core area.
Without Yu Mingyi in charge, those wolves outside have too many ways to deal with the younger generation of the Yu family.
Yu Mingyi's eagerness to announce that the Yu family's curse had been lifted, even going so far as to simultaneously publish the news in major Hong Kong newspapers, was a way of telling those wolves, "Stop targeting the Yu family; I won't die."
After Fourth Wife's explanation, we understood and felt a bit emotional. That circle above was full of tigers, leopards, wolves, and jackals!
"Damn it, there aren't enough people!"
That morning, Fatty Lin looked downstairs and let out a sigh of relief.
"What's up? Want to go out and have some fun?" I asked.
"Stop lounging around, let's get to work!" Fatty Lin said.
"What kind of work?"
I became interested.
"A side job!" Fatty Lin said.
"When did you start taking on freelance work?" I asked.
I've been with Fatty Lin every day lately, and I haven't seen him take any jobs!
"Do you remember when we went to Dapuyu Garden last time? There was construction going on on the mountain." Fatty Lin asked.
"It seems so!"
I nodded. Dapu Yuyuan is located at the foot of Baxianling Mountain. When I came by car, I saw that construction was underway halfway up the mountain.
"Do you know who's doing the construction?" Fatty Lin asked.
"I don't know!" I shook my head.
"It's Li Guagua. He built Cishan Temple halfway up the mountain!" Fatty Lin said.
"Li Guagua?" I asked.
"Yes, that's him!"
Fatty Lin sneered and said, "If we haven't run into him, fine. But if we have, I want to see what he's up to!"
