Chapter 549 The Inside Story of the Xuanmen Association 2
"Kobayashi, you're so insightful!"
Liu Lingling gave a wry smile and said, "That's right, that's how it is. If you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding!"
"Before the arrival of the Jiaozhi Chinese, the association members were only going through the motions; after their arrival, the major foundations that donated funds gave them the power to manage the money!"
"With money and the cooperation of some scoundrels, they completely took control of the Five Fiends' chaos in Hong Kong!"
"And now?" I asked.
"They're in charge now, but after you took down Wu Peiwen last time, the association completely split up!" Liu Lingling said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Split?"
Fatty Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that Wu Peiwen, that lackey, got taken care of, and instead of standing up for him, Zhuang Xuanji, this local, handled it? The others must be feeling disheartened, right?"
"You guessed it right away!"
Liu Lingling gave Lin Pangzi a thumbs up.
"Is there any need to guess? It's obvious!" Fatty Lin laughed.
"After Wu Peiwen's incident, the association was almost torn apart, if not completely destroyed. People were disheartened, and there was no need to keep many things secret anymore, so the news got out!" Liu Lingling said.
"So, their involvement is behind what happened in the last six months?" I asked.
"That's right!"
Liu Lingling nodded and said, "These people don't consider Hong Kong Island their home. They're rootless, without any sense of community or ancestry. They don't consider themselves Chinese, and they have absolutely no bottom line when it comes to their actions!"
"Those dragon-locking nails on the top of Tianping Mountain, were they the ones who did it?" Fatty Lin asked.
"right!"
Liu Lingling let out a breath and said, "Everyone knows what it means to drive nails into a dragon vein. Even Wu Peiwen, their lackey, wouldn't dare to do it!"
"Since no one else will do it, they'll have to do it themselves!"
"Now I understand a little better why those few dragon-locking nails on the top of Mount Tai Ping were the most difficult to deal with during the Five Fiends' chaos in Hong Kong!" Fatty Lin suddenly realized.
Other evil influences, such as the Fire Evil, are ignited by placing a fire-starting talisman inside a bronze torch on the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, while the Metal Evil is ignited by using the bronze lions at the entrance of the HSBC headquarters in Central.
When we first investigated these matters, we felt that the Fire and Metal Sha were somewhat carelessly handled compared to the other Sha. Now we understand that these two Sha were mostly caused by locals from Hong Kong Island.
Thinking of this, I said, "Sister Lingling, were the fire and metal evil spirits created by local Hong Kong masters?"
"That's right!"
Liu Lingling nodded and said, "When you found out all this, didn't you think these two evil spirits were a bit too easy to deal with?"
"really!"
Fatty Lin clapped his hands and said, "Sister Lingling, let me tell you, I was quite surprised at the time. Compared to the dragon-locking nails representing the wood element on the summit of Mount Tai, the Lei Yue Mun in Victoria Harbour representing the water element, and the earth element scattered throughout Hong Kong Island, the fire and metal elements seem far too simple!"
"Let me put it this way, as long as you understand the situation, even a preschooler could break free from these two evil spirits!"
"I felt something was strange at the time, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Now I know the root of the problem!"
"Do you understand now?" Liu Lingling asked.
"Got it!"
Fatty Lin took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "The real force behind the Five Fiends' chaos in Hong Kong, stirring up the evil energy of Hong Kong's land veins, and even orchestrating the disruption of Hong Kong's geomantic energy, is not the local Hong Kong Taoist sects, nor those wealthy and powerful families who have been leashed by John Bull, but rather this group of overseas Chinese hidden within the Taoist Association!"
"A very accurate summary!"
Liu Lingling gave a thumbs up and said, "You all know about the Water Curse. At Lei Yue Mun in Victoria Harbour, it was John Bull who did it according to the advice of those intermediaries; it didn't go through any locals at all!"
"The dragon-locking nails on the main ridge of Taiping Mountain were also made by the Jiaozhi people themselves!"
"As for the Earthly Fiends scattered throughout Hong Kong Island, that's a bit more complicated!"
When the topic of Earth Sha was brought up, Liu Lingling hesitated again.
"Sister Lingling, how complicated is it?" Fatty Lin asked.
Liu Lingling thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "As you all know, the Earth Sha is based on the mansions scattered throughout Hong Kong Island. When it was designed and laid out, the people who handed over the sites hadn't arrived yet. I heard from my master that they thought that using these houses to set up the Sha formation wouldn't have much impact on the dragon vein of Hong Kong Island!"
Lin Pangzi and I didn't interrupt Liu Lingling; we waited for her to continue.
"Not only will the impact be minimal, but the Xuanmen Association can also take this opportunity to rake in money from those wealthy families. It's a win-win situation—they make money without offending the big donors who contribute to the association!"
"And then?" Long Nier asked.
"Then, those people from the handover came in, and things gradually changed, especially after they took power. They actually started setting up a feng shui formation to disrupt Hong Kong!"
"By then, the Earthly Fiend had already taken shape!"
"After the fire and metal feng shui arrangements were assigned, our locals started to outwardly comply but inwardly defy them. As you know, Xiao Lin said that even a kindergarten kid could break those two arrangements!"
Liu Lingling laughed when this was mentioned.
When she smiled, we smiled too.
This statement is somewhat exaggerated, but it's not wrong. For example, with the fire evil, all you need to do is take out the fire-starting talisman.
For example, with the Golden Evil Star, you can simply pollute the evil-attracting artifact in the mouth of the bronze lion, such as by giving it a child's urine.
To be honest, the setup for these two evil spirits was rather childish.
"Sister Lingling, does this mean that after this, you Hong Kong localists will no longer be trusted?" I asked.
"That's right!"
Liu Lingling sighed and said, "After that, apart from a few lackeys, the local faction was no longer trusted, and even the lackeys found it difficult to get close to the real core!"
At this point, she paused and added, "For example, Wu Peiwen truly didn't know about the silk curse he cast on you!"
"He's a dog, how could the owner tell the dog what's going on?" I said.
"Thirteen, you've been corrupted by Xiaolin, your mouth has become so sharp!" Liu Lingling said.
"Sister Lingling, you have to be harsh, mainly because what they did is so hateful!" I said.
Liu Lingling's expression turned serious as she said, "Thirteen, Xiaolin, Nier, I have to remind you of something. Those Jiaozhi people are very skilled in witchcraft. In the future, when you do things, never push them to the brink, otherwise, I'm worried they might do something rash!"
"Sister Lingling, don't worry about that, we know what we're doing!" Fatty Lin nodded and said.
"You all know what's going on. What I want to say is that most of what happened in the past six months was their doing. They were simply using others' strength against them, taking advantage of the unrest in people's hearts to stir up the evil energy in Hong Kong, in order to sever the lifeblood of Hong Kong, disrupt its fortunes, and ruin the foundation of Hong Kong's destiny," Liu Lingling said.
