Chapter 534 Methods to Dispel Evil
"Kobayashi, are you sure?"
Zhu Minghua looked at Fatty Lin with suspicion.
"Sister Hua, I can't guarantee anything else, but about dispelling evil spirits..."
Fatty Lin chuckled and didn't continue, but the confidence in his eyes was undeniable.
"Tell me, what are you planning to do?" Zhu Minghua said.
It was clear that Zhu Minghua was still worried.
I know what she's worried about. She's not worried about the three of us being harmed by the evil energy; she's worried that if the three of us are harmed by the evil energy, it will affect Lu Gambling King's health.
"Sister Hua, the best way to dispel evil is not to suppress it, nor to avoid it, but to counteract evil with good and resolve grievances with kindness."
"I'm fat," Lin said slowly.
"How can we counteract evil with good and resolve grievances with kindness?" Zhu Minghua became interested.
"Hong Taidi has been a prominent figure in the underworld for half his life, mentoring disciples and gathering followers. Many young people from the lower classes have been led astray by him, and have been trapped in fighting, fighting and making a shady living for the rest of their lives."
"My plan is simple: I want Hong Taidi to stop taking on disciples, stop touching any profits from the underworld, provide his underlings with legitimate livelihoods, help them reform, completely break free from underworld conflicts, and never repeat their mistakes and continue committing evil!"
"Furthermore, every year many gangsters are released from prison after serving their sentences. Most of these people are homeless, unemployed, and unwanted, so they have no choice but to return to their gangs and continue committing crimes!"
"I want Hong Taidi to use his connections, resources, and money to specifically help these ex-convicts from the lowest rungs of the underworld!"
"By employing this two-pronged approach, with each person rescued, one less person succumbs to resentment and the malevolence within him diminishes!"
At this point, Fatty Lin chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, Sister Ling and Sister Hua, you'll have to lend a hand when the time comes. If you have any decent jobs, please help introduce me to one. It's a good deed!"
"You little rascal, you're actually trying to take advantage of us!" Fourth Aunt glared at Fatty Lin and said, "If your plan works, I can help you!"
"I can help too!" Zhu Minghua nodded in agreement.
At this point, we have reached a consensus.
As long as it doesn't affect our healthcare for Stanley Ho, Fourth Wife and Zhu Minghua agree to anything.
After seeing the two off, we called Hong Taidi to tell him our decision and asked him to come over.
Hong Taidi arrived in less than half an hour.
Fatty Lin explained his idea of dealing with the evil aura, and then said, "Brother Teddy, you used to make money and establish your power by gathering people and controlling the rules of the underworld, which cultivated a bloodthirsty and gambling-related aura. Now you are personally sending people ashore, breaking this vicious cycle, which is equivalent to personally dismantling the evil roots you planted back then."
"Brother Teddy, you're not helping strangers, you're helping people who were dragged into and ruined by your underworld back then. Saving a life, helping someone along their journey, and clearing away a bit of your own karmic burden—this is more effective than any Taoist magic, talisman, or blessing from a high monk," I continued.
"Using magical artifacts to suppress evil energy is to fight against it, but the more you suppress it, the more it backfires. Doing good deeds to atone for sins is to dissolve the root of karma, sever the evil energy at its source, and go with the flow, so that Heaven will not punish you," Long Nier added.
"Masters, I understand. Most of my businesses have already been dissolved. When I get back, I'll deal with the remaining ones, but it might not be that quick. Once the funds are back, I'll use them all to set up a support channel specifically to take in released prisoners, give them jobs, and give them a way to make a living!"
Hong Taidi said.
"Brother Teddy, I'm going to set a few rules for you!" Fatty Lin said, holding up three fingers.
"Master Lin, please speak!" Hong Taidi nodded.
"First, we do not convert evildoers, but only help those who sincerely repent, are willing to live an honest life, and completely sever ties with the underworld. We do not take in habitual offenders, do not support evildoers, and do not show favoritism."
Fatty Lin put one finger away.
"No problem!" Hong Taidi readily agreed, then asked, "What are the other two?"
"Secondly, we will only provide a way out, not involve you in the martial world. You are not allowed to use the name of helping others to reunite your old subordinates and expand your power. If you have even the slightest selfishness and want to restore the old order, all your good deeds will be wiped out. At that time, the backlash from the evil energy will be doubled, and no one will be able to save you." Fatty Lin put away another finger.
"That's fine too. What's the other one?" Hong Taidi asked.
"Third, persevere without seeking anything in return. This is not a temporary remedy, but a spiritual practice for the rest of your life. Do good deeds every day and help others every month. It is a gradual process of offsetting the karmic debts of your entire life."
Fatty Lin withdrew his last finger and said, "If you do these three things, without me performing any rituals or using any magical artifacts, the blood evil, gambling evil, and lust evil on your body will gradually dissipate as you accumulate merit in helping others."
"Master Lin, all three points are fine. I will definitely spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins. But there is one thing I can't solve right now!" Hong Taidi said with some difficulty.
"What's the problem?" Fatty Lin asked.
Hong Taidi raised his hand, shook the Vajra Rope on his wrist, and said, "This Vajra Rope is the chain that the foreigner put around my neck. If I do as you say in those three points, the foreigner won't let me go. If this Vajra Rope malfunctions, I'm afraid I won't last more than a few days before being devoured by the evil energy!"
"I've already prepared everything for you!"
Fatty Lin smiled calmly and said, "Wait a moment!"
"Yes!" Hong Taidi nodded.
Fatty Lin turned around, opened the door next to him, lit three incense sticks, offered them to the ancestral master, took a neatly folded yellow talisman from the offering table, and walked back.
While he was doing all this, the door was open, and Hong Taidi saw it all.
"Take this amulet!"
After they came out, Fatty Lin handed the talisman to Hong Taidi and said, "Remember this: this talisman doesn't dispel evil, offset karma, or redeem debts. It only protects you. The only way to resolve the three evil karmic obstacles on you is to do the three things I told you to do!"
"Thank you, Master Lin!"
Hong Taidi clasped his hands together and sincerely accepted the amulet.
"Brother Teddy, this talisman is made using twenty-year-old Maoshan bamboo paper as its base. The ink is also extraordinary; it's made by grinding agarwood powder, cinnabar, pearl powder, and Xuanmen spiritual water together!"
I felt a little sorry for Fatty Lin giving this talisman to Hong Taidi.
We don't have many of these twenty-year-old Maoshan bamboo yellow paper talismans; every little bit we use is one less. So I couldn't help but remind him that I had to tell him just how precious this talisman really is.
"Brother Teddy, let me put it this way, many feng shui masters could never gather all the materials needed to make this talisman in their entire lives," I continued.
"Master Feng, I understand!" Hong Taidi nodded, his face full of gratitude.
"Teddy, don't overthink it. This talisman can't neutralize the Yin energy on you. Its main function is to suppress the energy field and lock the foundation so that your condition doesn't worsen!" Fatty Lin added.
"Masters, I won't make any grand pronouncements. We're all men of the martial world; let's settle things in the future!" Hong Taidi said in a deep voice, rubbing the talisman in his hand.
