Chapter 14 The Buddha statue shattered, and all doors and windows were closed.
"Mr. Wang, look, although the kitchen here is very lively, it faces the back door, which is a sign of energy leakage."
"The nanny's room is located in the northeast corner, which is considered an inauspicious location..."
Wherever Master Faming went, he would launch into a long string of feng shui terms.
Wang Shou nodded repeatedly, even though he hadn't understood a single word.
But it just feels "unfathomable".
Jiang Rongrong didn't understand either, so she pointed the camera at Master Faming and whispered her explanation:
"Family members, this master seems to really have some knowledge; he speaks very eloquently."
In the live stream:
"This is indeed Master Faming of Jingchen Temple. I've seen him before when I accompanied my mother to burn incense!"
"It seems Master Lin has met his match this time!"
"Indeed, Master Lin is handsome, but he hasn't said a word since he came in half a day ago."
"Just standing there like that, I felt a little weak."
In the living room, Master Faming, having finished his inspection of the first floor, returned to the center with satisfaction.
He straightened his cassock and glanced sideways at Lin Jinian, who had remained silent:
"Master Lin, what's wrong?"
"Were you frightened by the eerie atmosphere in this house?"
Master Faming waved his hand dismissively, his voice booming:
"If you find it difficult, feel free to say so."
"Young people have limited experience and knowledge, which is normal."
"I will be performing a ritual later. This evil spirit is fierce and may not be able to attend to you."
"If you're scared, it's not too late to back out now."
These words, seemingly caring, actually contained a hidden barb.
They were openly and subtly belittling Lin Jinian for being incompetent.
The two young monks beside them also whispered amongst themselves.
Wang Shou stood to the side, his gaze shifting between the two men.
It was a little awkward, and I didn't dare to interrupt.
After all, in his view, Master Faming's actions did indeed appear very "professional".
Lin Jinian withdrew his gaze from the second floor.
He looked at Master Faming and said:
"Since you are so confident, Master, please proceed."
Lin Jinian smiled faintly:
"This humble Taoist priest also wishes to broaden his horizons."
"As for leaving..."
He paused, his gaze deepening: "This humble Taoist suggests to the master, if you can't hold on any longer..."
"Just run faster, don't worry about your appearance."
Master Faming did not get angry but laughed instead:
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Master Lin is certainly outspoken."
"In that case, Master Lin, please open your eyes wide and watch carefully!"
"What are true Buddhist supernatural powers?"
After saying this, Master Faming waved his sleeves and led his two disciples straight to the second floor.
In the live stream, the two groups were already arguing fiercely.
"Master Lin is so cool! That was such a satisfying retort!"
"Exactly! This old monk talks a lot of nonsense; he's obviously just a smooth talker."
"Hey girls in front, stop being so naive! That master is just being steady! That's called taking things one step at a time!"
"If you only look at his appearance, this is how it is. But if we really encounter a ghost, let's see if this pretty boy can scare it away with his face."
"Hehe, just waiting for this pretty boy to get his face slapped."
The two groups were arguing fiercely, but Jiang Rongrong, the anchor, was overjoyed.
She glanced furtively at the top right corner; the number of viewers had already soared to 3200!
This is a new high in her live streaming career!
They had no time to care about the flame war in the live chat.
Holding her phone, she quickly followed her upstairs to the second floor.
The second-floor living room is exceptionally spacious, connecting to a huge open-air balcony.
At this moment, the French windows were wide open, and a strong wind rushed in, making the curtains dance wildly like ghosts.
Master Faming had clearly come prepared.
Two young monks quickly carried over an offering table, covered it with a yellow cloth, and...
A small incense burner, a wooden fish, and a gilded Buddha statue were placed on the table.
Master Faming straightened his robe, sat cross-legged on the prayer mat, and looked solemn.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
The dull sound of a wooden fish drum rose, mingling with the sound of the wind outside the window.
There was an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Master Faming closed his eyes, his lips moved rapidly, and he began reciting incomprehensible scriptures:
"Om Mani Padme Hum... Devas and Nagas..."
As he chanted, the dark clouds outside the window seemed to hang even lower.
The wind grew stronger, blowing his bright red cassock like a battle flag.
This scene is visually stunning!
"Holy crap! That's professional!"
"This momentum! This wind! This is like something out of a blockbuster movie!"
"Master is amazing! Did he really summon this wind?"
"I think this time it's a sure thing. With that aura, what monster wouldn't run away?"
The live stream chat was filled with "Master 666" comments.
Even the fans who had just supported Lin Jinian's looks couldn't help but waver.
Master Faming was clearly satisfied with the current results.
He suddenly opened his eyes, which shone brightly, and picked up the vajra that he had just placed on the table.
He roared angrily at the void:
"You audacious fiend! This humble monk is here; reveal yourself at once!"
This roar, full of energy, made everyone's eardrums buzz.
Wang Shou, hiding at the very back, was so excited he kept rubbing his hands together.
"Master is mighty! Master is mighty indeed!"
Just when everyone thought the ritual was about to come to a successful conclusion.
"call--!!!"
What was originally just a howling wind suddenly transformed into an incredibly savage force!
It didn't blow in from outside the window, but rather it was as if a whirlwind had suddenly appeared inside the room!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the balcony slammed shut with a loud bang!
Next, the door to the second-floor bedroom and the staircase leading to the first floor...
It was as if countless invisible hands had pushed everything shut hard!
The entire second floor instantly became a closed space.
"what!"
Jiang Rongrong screamed in fright at the sudden loud noise, and the camera in her hand shook violently.
The footage first shows a window that has been firmly shut by the wind.
Then they took a picture of the tightly closed door.
"Snap!"
A crisp cracking sound.
Everyone looked at the offering table in horror.
Before Master Faming stood a small, gilded Buddha statue.
It actually split open in the middle, and the upper body slowly slid down.
It fell onto the table with a clatter.
The crack was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.
next moment.
Sizzle...smack!
The huge chandelier overhead flickered twice before going out completely.
The entire second floor was shrouded in darkness, with only a faint glimmer of daylight filtering in from the windows.
They could barely make out each other's blurry outlines.
"It's over..."
Master Faming's originally rosy complexion turned deathly pale, and large beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
His hand holding the vajra began to tremble uncontrollably.
Having traveled the world for many years, he had seen his share of the world's troubles, and most wandering ghosts and spirits would run away in fright at this sight.
But this time...
A Buddha statue cracking on its own is a very bad omen!
This shows that the other party is not afraid of his magic weapon at all, and is even provoking him!
"This...this looks like we've run into a tough opponent..."
He wailed inwardly.
The two young monks who were still striking the wooden fish were stunned.
He didn't even realize that the wooden fish mallet in his hand had fallen to the ground.
The two of them trembled with fear, not daring to even breathe.
Wang Shou's teeth chattered as he made a sound:
"Master... what... what's wrong?"
