Chapter 224 The Child Who Came to Collect a Debt
The moment the flame touched the jade bracelet, it made a sizzling sound, like cold water being poured into boiling oil.
The jade bracelet suddenly exploded into a thick, almost solidified black mist, like a trapped beast driven to the brink of despair, twisted and ferocious.
The black mist struggled and twisted wildly, but the two talismans drawn by Yin Liuli simultaneously restrained it. The Twenty-Eight Mansions constellation transformed into a net of light that covered all directions, and the Vajra phantom's Vajra pestle crashed down, sealing off all the black mist's escape routes.
"Return the armor!"
The Empress suddenly cried out in surprise.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Huanjia in the pool suddenly convulsing violently, making strange "hoarse" sounds, his eyes rolling back, and wisps of black gas, exactly like those in the jade bracelet, rising from the top of his head.
The black energy left the body and melted away like snow under the golden light of the Samadhi Fire, instantly turning into nothingness.
A glint flashed in Yin Liuli's eyes. With her right hand, she grabbed and guided the black energy that was about to dissipate towards Xiao Huanjia. She used her spiritual power to pull the black energy into the spiritual light that suppressed the jade bracelet, and they merged together with the turbid energy in the bracelet.
"Perfect timing—break!"
She formed a profound hand seal and thrust it forward with a sudden burst of energy. The Samadhi True Fire surged several feet, completely engulfing the dense black mist.
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
The emerald green jade bracelet shattered inch by inch in the flames, turning into a handful of white jade fragments. The warm green color faded away the moment it shattered, leaving only pure white fragments.
Yin Liuli breathed a sigh of relief instantly.
"They're quite tough to deal with!"
After casting the spell, she finally understood why Xiao Huanjia's primordial spirit carried such a great deal of malevolence!
This child was born with a purpose!
However, it has nothing to do with her; Yin Liuli is unwilling to interfere with the karma of others' past lives.
She tore a piece of cloth from her dress, wrapped the broken jade pieces in it, and used her inner energy to draw an exorcising talisman on it before handing it to the Empress.
"The turbid air has been removed. The Broken Jade Sutra is sealed with a spiritual talisman. Tomorrow, at noon when the yang energy is at its peak, it will be buried three feet due east of the ancient pine tree. Only in this way can it no longer be disturbed by evil spirits."
"Yes, this old servant remembers."
The nanny quickly took the talisman pouch, not daring to let the Empress touch it again.
"Liuli, please... help return the armor!"
The Empress's eyes were red-rimmed, and her phoenix eyes held a hint of almost humble pleading.
"Liuli, for the sake of me... for the sake of me calling you my granddaughter-in-law, please save Huanjia!"
Although that child was unruly, he was, after all, the only direct grandson of the fourth generation of the Xiao family!
If he were to become useless like this, or... or if something were to happen to him, how could I face my nephew's family, and how could I face our ancestors in the afterlife!
Yin Liuli didn't even lift her eyelids, and said casually, "Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for Liuli. I don't care about this child."
"Liuli, I know he offended you; it was his fault!"
Knowing her temper, the Empress pleaded gently, "How about this, you can have him apologize however you like..."
Yin Liuli's clear eyes remained completely calm.
"I said I wouldn't get involved, and I mean it! That's his karma, and I don't want to get involved in it at all."
The Empress looked puzzled. "Cause and effect? What cause and effect?"
"Yes, Your Highness, what karma could the young master possibly have?"
The old woman also asked in surprise.
Yin Liuli raised her chin.
"This child's spirit is filled with malevolence; he came into this world as a beast with karmic burdens."
Even Gu Jinyan looked at her with curiosity.
The Empress was terrified upon hearing this and hurriedly asked...
"What karmic obstacles? And what about him...?"
Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow and said coldly,
"I only discovered this when I was casting the spell. This child was reincarnated to collect a debt from your Xiao family."
It's likely that the Xiao family owed him a huge debt in his past life, and he came to collect it out of resentment.
His violent and cruel nature is ingrained in his soul. My talisman will at most make him behave for a few days, and after that, he might become even more ruthless.
Upon hearing this, everyone stared at her in astonishment.
Immersed in the pool, Xiao Huanjia seemed to understand but not quite, staring intently at Yin Liuli.
The Empress's face turned pale instantly, and her lips trembled with fear.
"You...you're saying that Jia came...to collect a debt?"
"Otherwise what?"
Yin Liuli snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, think about it yourself. Since this child was born, has your nephew's residence been plagued by misfortune? Some of the older and weaker members have passed away one after another."
As he grew older, he started causing trouble everywhere, turning his family upside down and making their lives miserable.
And him... haha, no matter how much trouble he causes at home, it's as if it's his fault, he shows absolutely no remorse!
As soon as she finished speaking, a bolt of lightning rolled down over the Empress's head.
Yin Liuli was absolutely right; every word she said hit the nail on the head!
When Huanjia was born, his mother suffered a severe hemorrhage and nearly died. From then on, she became sickly and had to take a lot of medicine every day.
In recent years, most of the old people in the mansion have passed away one after another.
More importantly, since he was old enough to understand things, Huan Jia has shown a violent temper and often takes pleasure in torture and killing.
She had heard Heng'er tell a chilling story: a dog kept in the mansion had given birth to several puppies, and Jia took them for amusement because he liked them.
To everyone's surprise, the entire litter of puppies died the next day!
When the servants checked, some of the puppies had their necks broken, some had their tongues cut off, and some had their bellies ripped open... The worst one had its teeth pulled out by the pliers and died in agony!
This child is quick to resort to violence at the slightest provocation, often breaking people's arms and legs, which has caused people from the manor to come knocking on the door every day to settle scores!
He could even blind the Grand Councilor's precious grandson with a joke, leaving Heng'er extremely distressed and nearly driven to death by him.
Upon realizing this, the Empress gasped in shock, her face filled with astonishment.
Yin Liuli said calmly,
"I don't know what the Xiao family owes him, but every debt has its debtor, and every sin has its perpetrator. Since this child is coming for the Xiao family, then he is the Xiao family's calamity."
If I were to forcibly interfere and defy fate, I would be entangled in the karmic cycle of your Xiao family for generations. I, Yin Liuli, will not wade into such muddy waters.
As for the jade bracelet, I sold it because of Your Majesty the Empress. I like you and don't want anything to happen to you.
"Asking me to save this child is absolutely out of the question. I don't even want to investigate the cause and effect behind it."
"Cause and effect...investigate?"
The Empress muttered to herself, then suddenly seemed to grasp at a straw, "Liuli, since you have the Heavenly Eye and can see this relationship, then go and investigate!"
"Investigate what our Xiao family owes him! As long as... as long as this debt can be paid off and the child can return to normal, I... I am willing to fast, bathe, copy scriptures, and chant Buddhist prayers for him!"
Stop fooling around!
Should we have her investigate the cause and effect?
Yin Liuli shook her head decisively and said casually,
"I'm not going!"
Investigating cause and effect requires going through the underworld; simply put, it means the living go to the underworld, pass through the Naihe Gate, flip through the Book of Life and Death, and ask Yama, the King of Hell.
