The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 128 Arrival in Southeast Asia and Meeting Master Wen Madamo
"Kill your whole family?" Li Zhen asked back, but there wasn't much surprise in his tone.

The evil spell that afflicted Su Yuanqiong must have been cast by someone with whom she had a grudge or conflict of interest, who commissioned a heretical figure to do it.

The other party even knew her birth date and time, and was able to bury the dead cat in her shop without anyone noticing, which clearly showed that they knew her very well.

With Li Zhen's keen eye, he could tell at a glance that Su Yuanqiong had an extraordinary aura, and that her family background must have been exceptional as well.

It's quite normal for such families to have some dramatic and messy conflicts.

But this was the first time Li Zhen had ever seen something escalate to the point of wanting to kill his entire family.

“Yes, my whole family.” Su Yuanqiong said with a gloomy expression, “My parents died early. To be precise, my whole family refers to my grandparents, plus my uncle’s family.”

Li Zhen looked at Su Yuanqiong without saying a word.

Su Yuanqiong explained, "My parents made a lot of money in their early years doing business. Before they passed away, in addition to leaving some money for my grandparents to live on, they put all their property in my name."

“In the two years after my parents passed away, they… came to me and made a scene quite a few times, and each time I would give them some money.”

"But no matter how much I gave, they were not satisfied. Later, they wanted me to transfer at least half of my property to my grandfather's name, saying it was as a guarantee for his old age. Actually, I knew it was my uncle's idea."

“My grandparents also approve. They think that since I am their granddaughter, I will inevitably take the money to other people’s homes in the future. In their view, that property has nothing to do with the Su family.”

“In the past two years, I have run a lot of businesses, but they have all ruined them. I opened a tea restaurant to find something to do, but I never expected this to happen.”

Just as Li Zhen had guessed, Su Yuanqiong told a melodramatic story about a dispute caused by property.

Detective Li has no interest in this kind of thing.

"Since Miss Su has money, why doesn't she hire some assassins to do this kind of thing?"

Su Yuanqiong said, "After witnessing the methods those people used to harm me, I think it's more appropriate and more discreet to retaliate in kind."

“Like this time, even if I die, even if I know they did it, the police can’t do anything about it.”

Born on Hong Kong Island, she was no stranger to Alien Huang.

After hearing Master Fang say that it was a "little devil," she had the idea of ​​asking Detective Li to take action.

She didn't need to do much; as long as the master in front of her sent the little devil to kill people, none of her ordinary relatives would survive.

"I'm only helping Miss Su this time because I'm interested in this cat and this method, and also to repay Miss Su's favor," Li Zhen said frankly. "I have no interest in what Miss Su is talking about."

Su Yuanqiong gritted her teeth and said, "I know it's a bit presumptuous to ask a master for a favor, but I have no other choice now that things have come to this."

"I can offer the master a very high reward, and even if the master wants the family fortune left to me by my parents, I can..."

Li Zhen turned and left.

He was even less interested in any form of compensation.

Su Yuanqiong quickly caught up with Li Zhen and said, "I don't know if they will send anyone to harm me again. Please leave me some protective measures."

Without turning his head, Li Zhen said, "Master Fang in the shop is a highly skilled person. You can ask him to draw some talismans for you."

Su Yuanqiong said, "I will go back and ask Master Fang to help me as well."

This time, Li Zhen did not refuse: "I will draw some talismans when I get back, and I will give them to you when I have time tomorrow."

"Thank you, Master!" Su Yuanqiong stopped, staring blankly as Li Zhen and Huang Jinshen crossed the road together and got into a white car. She secretly lamented that she had been out of her mind. How could she have asked someone to kill her whole family?

Once the ferocity that erupted from fear disappeared, she felt a pang of regret.

If this master were someone who would kill for money, he probably wouldn't have come to help her just now.

"Ah Qiong, are you alright?" The short-haired woman patted Su Yuanqiong on the shoulder from behind.

"I'm fine." Su Yuanqiong shook her head. "It's fortunate that I brought this master back this time, otherwise..."

The short-haired woman looked at Huang Jinshen's car and said, "This is the reward for Ah Qiong's many good deeds."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't given that potted plant, none of this would have happened. And... Ah-Qiong was doing a good deed, but I was talking nonsense and almost offended someone."

"You're so silly. If someone wants to harm me, they have plenty of ways to do it. What does it have to do with you? Even if there are no potted plants, there will be other things." Su Yuanqiong put her arm around the short-haired woman and walked towards the tea restaurant together. "Ah Shu also invited Master Fang. With Master Fang's status, it's not easy to invite him."

"Ah-Jung, why are some people so bad?" The short-haired woman wiped away her tears.

Su Yuanqiong sighed: "Some people may look like bad people, but they aren't bad people at all."

Master Fang walked to the entrance of the tea restaurant and said apologetically to Su Yuanqiong, who had returned, "I wasn't of much help this time. If there's nothing else, I'll..."

Su Yuanqiong interrupted, "I need Master Fang to take some protective measures for us so that we won't be harmed by evil magic again."

Master Fang nodded: "It is indeed necessary to take some precautions, no problem."

He looked towards the door and couldn't help but ask, "Who... is that person? Why have I never heard of such a person in Hong Kong?"

Su Yuanqiong said, "I don't know if Master Fang believes me or not, but I just saw that master and another person on the street yesterday. They seemed to be feeling a little unwell, so I invited them in for a glass of water."

The short-haired woman raised her right hand: "I can testify that it is true, Arjun met that master just yesterday."

Master Fang said in surprise, "That person looked... looked sinister, I never expected him to be such a person."

……

"...In their fight for the property, the two elderly people went to great lengths, banging drums and gongs in front of her shop, distributing leaflets everywhere, and saying that she was unfilial and had angered her own parents to death."

“A perfectly good rich girl, but they ruined her reputation. She can’t even fit into that circle anymore and can only live a low-key life.”

"The newspapers used to talk about this a few years ago, but it has only recently stopped. When I heard her say that her surname was Su, I didn't expect that she was that Ms. Su."

In the car, Wong Kam-sing brought up the matter of So Yuen-king.

Li Zhen, sitting in the back seat, casually remarked, "You police don't handle this kind of thing?"

He took off his foul-smelling gloves, stuffed them into a bag, and put on a new pair of gloves that he had prepared.

Wong Kam-sing said helplessly, "How can we manage this kind of thing? The two old people are in their seventies or eighties, and they're prone to making a scene. Aren't they afraid of being detained by the police?"

"After you arrest them, you still have to take care of their health. Be careful not to upset them, otherwise we'll be in big trouble. There are countless cameras filming us all day long now."

Li Zhen didn't say anything.

This era is really similar to what it will be like decades from now. These old folks who are half-buried in the ground but still throw tantrums are the hardest to deal with.

Wong Kam-sing glanced back and suddenly said, "That little devil has been following you the whole time?"

“Right beside you.” Li Zhen gestured forward.

Wong Kam-sing turned his head slightly and saw the grinning little devil in the passenger seat, holding the rotting cat in his arms.

This cat is half-corpse, half-ghost, and its whole body exudes a sinister aura. If it doesn't want to be seen, ordinary people can't find it either.

Having already met Alien Huang, Wong Kam-sing wasn't too surprised, but his heart still skipped a beat.

After a moment of silence, Wong Kam-sing said, "So there are so many ghosts in this world."

“I was really scared when the ghosts appeared. If you hadn’t driven them away, they might have really devoured us, judging by their momentum.”

"Besides black magic, can you teach me some other techniques? I've heard that many of the techniques in your line of work are closely guarded secrets."

Li Zhen's gaze toward Huang Jinshen was somewhat strange.

Previously, he said he would teach Wong Kam-sing some methods to defend against ghosts, but now Wong Kam-sing has brought it up on his own initiative, and he is very serious about it.

He could pass on much of what he had learned to Wong Kam-sing, but what he found strange was...

Are you trying to train a police officer who can exorcise demons?
Seeing Li Zhen's gaze in the rearview mirror, Huang Jinshen asked, "What? Can't I learn?"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "After we get back, I'll sort things out and see which method would be most suitable for you."

“I’m just a little worried that this will affect your job.”

Wong Kam-sing laughed and said, "I'm not a charlatan, I don't talk nonsense in front of them all day long, what impact would that have?"

Back at Wong Kam-sing's house, Detective Lee went to his room, prepared, and began making talismans.

Besides preparing a few for Su Yuanqiong, some should also be prepared for Huang Jinshen.

Even if Su Yuanqiong hadn't made this request, Li Zhen would have provided Huang Jinshen with some defensive measures.

When he went to Southeast Asia, he wasn't worried about his own safety, but he was a little worried about the personal safety of Wong Kam-sing, who was an ordinary person.

Around 10 p.m., the "reward" that Su Yuanqiong had prepared was delivered to Huang Jinshen's house. In addition to various gift boxes, there was also a huge gift bag containing cash.

Upon opening the bag and seeing the cash inside, Huang Jinshen exclaimed in surprise, "This Miss Su is so generous! I think she'd rather give the money to us than leave it for the elderly in her family."

Li Zhen, who wasn't interested in the reward, casually opened a gift box and said with a smile, "Anyone would rather give money to the person who saved their life than to the person who wanted to kill them."

Nevertheless, he was somewhat surprised by Su Yuanqiong's generosity.

Setting down the gift box, Huang Jinshen said, "Do you have a bank account? It's safest to deposit the money into an account as soon as possible." "No need to deposit it," Li Zhen said. "If you have any connections, please ask around about the price of the ebony for me."

"Sunken wood?" Huang Jinshen pondered. "I don't know much about this stuff, only that it's very expensive. How much sunken wood do you need?"

Li Zhen said, "Regardless of the price, exchange all the money for petrified wood."

He has no use for these Hong Kong dollars if he takes them back; it would be better to exchange them for petrified wood, which would be very useful for nourishing corpses or his own body.

After returning to the original world, ask Fatty Huang to find a way to buy some ebony wood so that they can make a coffin.

Huang Jinshen nodded and said, "I understand. I'll ask about the other gifts for you..."

"Do as you please," Li Zhen said indifferently.
The gift box was rummaged through, and the little ghost holding a rotting cat appeared in one of the gifts, asking Li Zhen, "Can I take something to feed the cat?"

Li Zhen said somewhat speechlessly, "Take whatever you want, but it might not eat it."

This guy only has a three-minute attention span when it comes to toys that interest him.

During the peak of the craze, they would hold onto the things tightly, but once the craze subsided, they would throw them aside, the same goes for the inflatable pony and the rag doll.

"Kitty, do you want to eat?" The little devil patted the cat's head and forcibly pressed the cat's head down.

"The cat says it wants to eat!"

It happily tore open a box of high-end snacks and stuffed the snacks directly into the cat's mouth.

The cat struggled in vain, so it had no choice but to swallow the treat, which then fell out of its rotting belly.

Seeing this scene, Wong Kam-sing thought to himself that it was fortunate he had sent his wife to a relative's house for recuperation. If his wife had seen this scene, she would definitely have been traumatized.

The next day, Li Zhen took a few of the talismans he had made and gave them to Huang Jinshen, while Huang Jinshen, who was out, gave the remaining two to Su Yuanqiong.

He originally only planned to make one talisman for Su Yuanqiong, but seeing how generous Su Yuanqiong was, he gave her an extra one.

That night, the two arrived at the airport with a zombie.

Even at night, the airport is still quite crowded.

Li Zhen ignored the astonished looks others cast at the vampire.

Walking beside him, Wong Kam-sing said with some concern, "Can you really get through security with this? If it gets discovered, you'll be in big trouble."

Li Zhen smiled and told Huang Jinshen not to worry.

Little devils can bewitch people's minds.

The Mahjong Ghost is stronger than the Little Ghost. When the Little Ghost can't confuse the other players, it can use a skill similar to "ghostly blindness" to directly block their vision.

Red-eyed bats are even more effective at bewitching the mind.

It was the dead of night, and Li Zhen wasn't worried about going through security.

To Wong Kam-sing's astonishment, the vampire passed through security and boarded the plane with the two of them.

By dawn, the two had successfully arrived in Southeast Asia.

Before even leaving the airport, Li Zhen suddenly noticed something unusual about the red-eyed bats.

He stopped in his tracks and immediately lifted the cloak on the back of the vampire to check the condition of the red-eyed bat.

The red-eyed bat, which had been silent all along, began to wriggle inside the backpack behind the vampire.

Li Zhen sensed a complex mix of anxiety and tension from the red-eyed bat.

This was one of the few times Li Zhen sensed these emotions from the red-eyed bat after obtaining it.

Li Zhen, lost in thought, looked up in a certain direction.

"What's wrong?" Huang Jinshen asked from the side.

"It's nothing." Li Zhen put down his smock.

Upon learning that the monk was from Southeast Asia, Wong Kam-sing managed to contact Somchai in Southeast Asia that very night, warning him to be careful.

Now that they've traced him back to him, they might also know Songchai's identity.

After being unable to contact Master Winmad Mohamed, Wong Kam-sing contacted Somchai and asked for his opinion.

Somchai was not a sorcerer, had not met Wong Kam-shing, and could not explain what was wrong with Wong Kam-shing. He only told Wong Kam-shing that if there was no other way, he could go to Southeast Asia to find someone to deal with his problems.

Living in Southeast Asia, Songchai knew how terrifying sorcerers were, so he was much more cautious than Wong Kam-sing. After Wong Kam-sing returned to Hong Kong Island, he immediately changed jobs and moved elsewhere.

Those sorcerers probably couldn't find him, so they went directly to Hong Kong Island to find Wong Kam-sing.

Wong Kam-sing speculated that his identity might have been leaked from the temple.

It wasn't necessarily those monks who betrayed his identity.

Many people saw them going to see Master Wenma Damo.

If those people investigate Master Wen Ma Da Mo first, it wouldn't be difficult for them to investigate Huang Jinshen next.

Compared to Somchai, who was an unknown figure, Wong Kam-sing was indeed much easier to find.

During the phone call, Wong Kam-sing asked Somchai for his opinion. After hearing that Somchai was willing to work as their translator and wanted to see how things developed, Wong Kam-sing arranged to meet Somchai at the airport.

After booking the tickets, Wong Kam-sing informed Song Chai of his and Lee Chan's arrival time.

After Wong Kam-sing and Lee Chan walked out of the airport, they saw Songchai under a landmark billboard.

"Bobby!"

With a beaming smile, Songchai first hugged Huang Jinshen, then looked at Li Zhen and greeted him: "Mr. Li, it's been a long time."

He still had the same long hair covering his ears and a small mustache as he did a year ago, but his skin was even darker than it had been a year ago.

Li Zhen smiled and nodded.

Songchai then looked at the vampire beside Lee Chan and hesitated, "Didn't they say two people were coming? Who is this...?"

"Never mind it, let's just pretend there are only the two of us." Wong Kam-sing pulled Song Chai toward the taxi stand. "We'll have to trouble you again this time."

“No trouble at all,” Somchai said. “I also want to know how things will develop. You’re not the only one who offended those sorcerers; I did too.”

"I've dragged you into this," Wong Kam-sing said apologetically.

“I did my own thing translating for you, but I never expected things to turn out this way,” Songchai said with a smile. “Luckily, I was cautious, and nothing bad happened this year.”

At this point, he said with some lingering fear, "I know better than you how terrifying sorcerers can be."

The three of them found a place to rest for the night, and the next morning they went straight to the temple where Master Wenma Damo was located.

Around 3 p.m., Li Zhen and his two companions arrived at Thuntali, where the temple was located.

As instructed by Detective Li, Wong Kam-sing parked the rented car in a dark underground garage.

The vampire was left inside the car by Li Zhen.

As before, he only took the red-eyed bat with him when he went out.

It's sunny today, not a good day to bring a vampire along.

The destination was a temple, and Li Zhen wouldn't rashly bring a vampire there.

Imagine what would happen if the righteous and vengeful Master Wenmadaga met a vampire.

In fact, Li Zhen wasn't sure how Wen Mada would react when he saw him.

Li Zhen dared to come directly to the temple to see Master Wenma Damo because he had a good impression of Master Wenma Damo and believed that the master would not be so hostile as to attack him upon seeing him who had learned black magic. He was also confident in his own abilities.

With the prepared parasol in hand, Li Zhen and Huang Jinshen arrived at the temple together.

The familiar golden gable roof of the temple gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Huang Jinshen and the other man simply felt a stinging sensation in their eyes, while Li Zhen felt a stinging pain in his consciousness.

He used a parasol to block the golden light reflected from the roof, but his discomfort did not lessen.

A young monk seemed to have known all along that someone would come.

As the three approached the temple, they were greeted by the temple staff.

"Are you three here to see the chief abbot? Please follow me."

Detective Li and Wong Kam-sing exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

No one knew they had come here.

If these monks didn't take everyone they met to see Master Wenma Mamo, then it means that Master Wenma already knew they had come.
