Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Taking mother to the city temple!
Faced with the choice of this fork in the road, in the blink of an eye, Qinxue’s mind flashed over the words Huang Xiaolong had just spoken to her.
Perhaps as a result of a subconscious trust, or harboring the mentality of rather believing it exists than not believing, Qinxue swung the steering wheel and drove the Maserati down the left road.
“Qinxue!” Mu Yunfan said a little dissatisfied. “This road will delay us by at least an hour or two! Do you really believe that little fortune-teller’s words? I… I don’t even know what to say to you anymore.”
Just then!
Boom~~ Boom~~ Boom~~~!!!!!!
Several huge boulders suddenly rolled down from the cliff on the side of the right mountain road!
This sudden occurrence was immense!
Landslide!@@novelbin@@
The boulders smashed onto the right mountain road, like a meteorite impact, causing countless cracks, and the ground was smashed into a depression!
Even the left mountain road shook a few times, some gravel splashed over, and the Maserati was hit with resounding cracks, and the rear car window glass was shattered.
In an instant, Qinxue and Mu Yunfan were scared to the point of goosebumps all over their bodies, cold sweat oozing out from their spine.
Qinxue stepped on the brakes, and the Maserati slowly stopped. Her limbs were weak, and she broke into a cold sweat. She looked sideways at the right mountain road, and said with difficulty, “That… was so… terrifying… If… If I hadn’t trusted the master’s words, I…I would be…”
Qinxue was calling Huang Xiaolong “Master” now! At this moment, her heart was filled with gratitude and worship for Huang Xiaolong!
The consequences were indeed unimaginable, these rolling stones weighed at least several tons, plus the impact from the fall from the cliff, if it had hit the Maserati, it would have directly crushed like a soda can, leaving no chance of survival for those inside!
“Uh~~~” Mu Yunfan was pale and also scared out of his wits.
Life and death were just a matter of thought.
At this moment, Qinxue’s beautiful face was extremely devoted and solemn, she put her hands together, eyes slightly closed, silently praying.
After Mu Yunfan recovered his senses, he muttered discontentedly, “Qinxue, is this necessary? Maybe it was just a coincidence. Anyway, I won’t believe that a person can predict the future…”
“Shut up!” Qinxue said angrily. “Do not blaspheme the master! If we had listened to you earlier… we… we would be dead now!”
“Well…” Mu Yunfan was speechless, “Alright, alright, Qinxue. We were lucky to have survived a catastrophe, let’s set off for the ‘Tianchi Temple’ quickly…”
“No need. I have already found the most effective God!” Hope flickered in Qinxue’s eyes.
‘Mom, your illness should… should have a chance to be cured!’
…
Chenghuang Temple.
Huang Xiaolong sent away the group of geological experts.
Damn it, out of all these people, only the short, fat man offered incense, the others were indifferent.
“Master Little Long, you told that short, fat man to slip home after work tomorrow, what’s the hidden mystery?” Miao Erfang said curiously.
“To catch a cheater,” Huang Xiaolong replied succinctly. Then he flirted with Miao Erfang. “There’s water for a bath tonight, let’s take it together.”
Miao Erfang blushed and whispered, “Together then, who’s scared!”
“I want to take a bath together too!” Zhou Mi couldn’t bear to be left out.
Soon, Ma Chuxia and some people from the Metaphysics Association came over in several cars.
Ma Chuxia brought a lot of supplies, such as tea, dried meat, rice, soy sauce, vinegar, and seasonal fruits and vegetables.
According to Huang Xiaolong’s request, Ma Chuxia also brought a lot of seeds. There were seeds of various fruits and vegetables.
Huang Xiaolong and the Metaphysics Association people, carrying several big bags of seeds, came to a yard behind the Chenghuang Temple.
This yard had several acres of land.
However, it was all deserted, and apart from a few crooked date trees, nothing else was planted there.
At that moment, Huang Xiaolong directed the members of the Occult Society to weed and hoe the soil.
Huang Xiaolong fetched a few slates of green stone and carved some diagrams on them. Then he buried the stones in the ground.
In a flash, spiritual energy from every direction congregated there, silently infusing the soil of these acres of land.
Soon, the mud turned into a kind of light purple color, emitting a floral-like fragrance.
Sowing.
All the seeds brought by Ma Chuxia were planted into the soil.
“I have arranged a ‘Spirit Gathering Array’ in these acres of soil. After this, these acres of land will become a ‘Spiritual Farm,'” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. “Spiritual Farm can speed up the growth of plants and the vegetables and fruits grown here will be full of spiritual energy and highly valued for their medicinal use. For instance, ordinary radishes and sweet potatoes can be transformed into spiritual medicine comparable to ginseng.”
Ma Chuxia and others were flabbergasted. Their admiration for Huang Xiaolong grew evermore, like a ceaseless river.
Spirit Gathering Array, Water Gathering Array- this stuff was like something out of fairy tales!
“Wow! Master Long, growing radishes and sweet potatoes as though they were ginseng, you’ll make a fortune!” Zhou Mi’s eyes sparkled.
“What fortune? I’m growing this for myself,” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Could you stop thinking so small? Do you think worldly wealth can buy the treasures I grow here?”
…
In a private mansion in a villa district of the city of Dong’an.
Qinxue lived here.
She drove her car home, shrugging off her bacteria-like admirer, Mu Yunfan.
In the mansion hallway.
There sat a woman, who looked barely 40, paralysed in a wheelchair. Her eyes were closed, unmoving as if she was asleep.
This was Qinxue’s mother. A few years ago, she suddenly collapsed and had not awakened since. Doctors diagnosed it as internal cranial injury, blood stasis putting pressure on her nerves, turning her into a vegetative state.
Qinxue cherished her mother dearly. Over the past few years, she traveled the globe, never giving up on her mother’s treatment. Qinxue would often dream of her mother awakening one day. But each time she awoke to find it was only a dream, tears would flood her face.
She even secretly vowed that if anyone could awaken her mother, if he were a man, regardless of his age, appearance, or status, she would willingly marry him to repay his kindness for life!
Today she came home full of hope!
She planned to take her mother to the City God Temple!
At this moment, a middle-aged man was standing next to the wheelchair. He was extraordinary and clearly not an ordinary man.
“Dad, are you resting at home today?” Qinxue respectfully asked.
This man was Qinxue’s father and he also held another title – the Mayor of Dong’an City!
He held the power of royalty in the city!
“Qinxue, I heard you let Yunfan accompany you to TianChi Temple to offer incense today?” The middle-aged man scolded. “Qinxue, you need to settle down! Look at what you are doing now, actually believing in such vague and unreal things! It’s all nonsense!”
“Dad~~ I’m not messing around.” Qinxue’s eyes were full of determination. “Dad, I don’t have time to argue with you. Now, I am taking mom for treatment.”
“Where are you going for treatment?” The middle-aged man frowned.
In fact, he had a deep affection for his wife, and moreover, Qinxue’s mother’s family was quite influential, even in Beijing as a distinguished family.
Otherwise, his career would have been smoother if his wife hadn’t fallen into a vegetative state these past few years for both personal and public reasons.
He hoped his wife could wake up.
However, he didn’t believe in superstitious methods.
“I am taking mom to a City God Temple in the suburbs.” Qinxue answered. “There is a master there, with great divine power and strong mana.”
What do you think?
