Chapter 450 The Evil-Transforming Turtle 2
"Fatty!"
I gestured towards the swan's beak, indicating to Fatty Lin to look.
"That's really sneaky!"
Upon seeing this, Fatty Lin immediately took out the Yin-Yang Mirror and shone it on the surface of the pool without saying a word.
The moment the mirror reflected the past, its surface trembled, revealing a dense mass of dark purple-black malevolent energy.
These malevolent energies clung to the bottom of the water like a spider web, and even the sprayed water droplets could not escape them. They carried a chilling aura, no wonder the swan's beak was tinged with blood.
Seeing this, Fatty Lin turned to Cai Chengyu and said, "This isn't dispelling evil, it's nurturing it! The evil energy is all trapped at the bottom of the water. If it weren't for these eight turtles holding it back, the evil energy would have burst out. Once these eight turtles are destroyed and the evil energy is released, none of your Cai family members will be able to escape!"
I thought for a moment, then squatted down and dipped my fingertips in the water. A bone-chilling coldness shot up my fingertips.
"It's so cold!"
I muttered something to myself, then turned to Cai Chengyu and said, "Mr. Cai, I have a question I'd like to ask you!"
"Master Feng, ask away!" Cai Chengyu said.
"The Yuyuan incident has been going on for more than a year or two. Over all these years, haven't you ever asked another professional to handle it?" I asked.
"I've looked for it!"
Cai Chengyu looked bitter. "I've consulted many people, some of them made excuses, some came to take a look, but without exception, they all said they couldn't solve the problem!"
"So, you came to us because you had nowhere else to turn?" I asked.
"I guess so!"
Cai Chengyu nodded and said, "If the two masters don't take this job, I'd like to look for opportunities in the mainland!"
"What's wrong, you madman?"
Noticing my strange expression, Fatty Lin gave me a look.
"It's nothing!" I shook my head.
Without much thought, Fatty Lin looked at Cai Chengyu again and said, "These eight turtles in the pool are now living guardian spirits. They have been bearing the evil energy for your Cai family for decades, but now they can't hold on any longer."
"Master Lin, how do you plan to begin?" Cai Chengyu asked.
"I'll first surround the pool with peach wood nails and cinnabar, setting up a purifying circle to prevent the evil energy from leaking out. You, on the other hand, should greet the workers and find some. Once everything is ready, we'll start digging!" Fatty Lin said.
"Okay!" Cai Chengyu nodded.
"Also, the evil energy here is too strong; ordinary workers can't withstand it. Let me tell you the criteria for selecting workers, and you can look for them according to these criteria!" Fatty Lin said.
"Okay, please go ahead!" Cai Chengyu nodded again.
"Firstly, a birth chart with all Yang elements, including the Heavenly Stems Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, and Ren, and the Earthly Branches Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, and Xu, is especially auspicious!"
"Secondly, the Kui Gang Day Pillar, such as Geng Chen, Geng Xu, Ren Chen, and Ren Xu, inherently possesses a suppressing and inauspicious aura!"
"Thirdly, the Day Master is strong, in season and in location, with abundant Robbing God and Indirect Resource protecting the Day Master, indicating extremely strong Yang energy!"
"Fourthly, the Eating God controls the Killing Star, meaning the destiny can suppress malevolent forces and prevent being countered by evil spirits!"
"At least one of these four conditions must be met, Mr. Cai. You also study metaphysics, so you know the importance of things. If you find someone whose destiny doesn't match, especially someone with a weak birth chart, it's very easy for trouble to happen, you know?"
Finally, Lin the Fat Man, still feeling uneasy, gave him a few more instructions.
"I've got it!" Cai Chengyu nodded.
"Also, avoid those born on days of unfortunate omens, those with a 'child spirit' destiny, or those with an excessively strong 'Hua Gai' star, as these are prone to spiritual connections!"
"Avoid those whose zodiac sign clashes with the Tai Sui!"
"No bereaved or chronically ill individuals within the past six months!"
"No naturally timid or easily startled individuals!"
Fatty Lin, still not entirely at ease, continued to give instructions, "You don't need too many people, but you can't have too few either. About fourteen will do. After you've chosen them, bring them over so I can take a look. Only after I've approved them can you let them start working!"
"Okay, I've got it!" Cai Chengyu nodded again.
"Okay, that's all for now!"
Fatty Lin glanced back at the pool and said, "Help us set up the purification circle first, then we'll talk about other things!"
An hour later, we left the entertainment center.
While Tsai Cheng-yu went to select candidates, we made a list, prepared ritual implements, and took the opportunity to investigate the Tsai family's background.
We didn't know until we investigated that the Cai family's background was far deeper than we had imagined.
For example, the famous Bo'ai Hospital was established by Cai Chengyu's great-grandfather, Cai Baoqing, and it is a property of the Cai family.
In addition, Choi Po-hing was elected as a vice-chairman of the Hong Kong Island Conservation Council, a New Territories councilor, and a member of the Tung Po Relief Association.
In short, he has a lot of titles, but his reputation among the people is mixed.
His good reputation stemmed from his aid to refugees, his distribution of free medicine, and his provision of his family's farmland for refugees to cultivate.
His bad reputation stemmed from the fact that whenever a high-ranking British official visited his home, he would raise the British flag, for which he was also known as a traitor.
No one is named because of his foundation. Even today, nearly a century later, the descendants of the Cai family have made achievements in the medical, business, and political fields and have a deep network of connections.
It is said that wealth does not last beyond three generations, but Cai Chengyu's generation is already the fourth generation, and the Cai family is still very wealthy, and judging from the current situation, they will continue to be wealthy.
If it weren't for that curse that prevents the men of the Cai family from passing the age of sixty-five, the Cai family would be even more illustrious than it is now.
Most of the men in the Cai family fall ill around the age of sixty-five, and they all suffer from the same disease: cerebral hemorrhage.
Because they are wealthy, have good resources, and own their own hospital, most of the Cai family members can be saved after falling ill. However, the aftereffects often stay with them for the rest of their lives.
"Crazy man, ask Uncle Nan if he knows anything about the Cai family!" Fatty Lin said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay!" I nodded and sent the message to the White Dragon King.
After the call connected, I talked about the Cai family.
"The Cai family is a murky place. If you take this job, be very careful!"
After I finished speaking, the White Dragon King said slowly.
"Uncle Nan, what does 'deep water' mean?" I asked.
"When I became famous, the Cai family approached me. I visited the entertainment venue and even offered some suggestions. I almost accepted this commission!" said the White Dragon King.
"Then why didn't you answer?" I asked.
"Back then, the president of the Hong Kong Metaphysics Association stepped in and gave me a nudge, indicating that I should abide by the rules, understand the rules, and not steal food from other people's bowls!" the White Dragon King said slowly.
"Uncle Nan, what year would that be?" I asked.
"It seems to have been sometime in the 90s, not long after Yuyuan was sold!" the White Dragon King said after a moment's thought.
The entertainment complex was sold in 1991, eighteen years ago now. I said, "That was fifteen or sixteen years ago!"
"Uncle Nan, more than a decade has passed, and the entertainment industry's problems are still unresolved. Whose job are you stealing? Besides, while the entertainment industry's problems are difficult, they are not unsolvable. How come this problem has dragged on for more than half a century?"
Fatty Lin couldn't help but ask.
