I have a role in the heavens

Chapter 2869: Immortal Chuma, imprisoned mother-in-law

"If it weren't for this jade pendant, you would probably be dead today!"

Jia Chang looked away from the jade pendant, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he said angrily with a gloomy tone.

"You are so brave, you actually dare to use the magic of witchcraft to curse Xiao Ruyi to death. I think you are tired of living!"

"Little Ruyi has never offended anyone, how could she be cursed?!"

Lin Daiyu frowned slightly, her eyes dimmed, and she said with some confusion.

"Then I have to ask Xiao Ruyi, have you offended anyone or had any conflicts in the past two days?"

Xiao Ruyi frowned and thought hard. After a while, she raised her head and stared at Jia Chang with bright eyes.

"who is it?"

When Jia Chang saw this, he thought Xiao Ruyi had thought of something and asked quickly.

Xiao Ruyi pursed her lips, showed an embarrassed smile, and said aggrievedly.

"No, I'm hungry!"

Jia Chang rolled his eyes helplessly and said angrily.

"You are so generous that you don't forget to eat now!"

Xiao Ruyi ignored Jia Chang's dissatisfaction, walked down from the couch, came to the table, and ate happily again, mumbling in her mouth.

“I can’t think of it anyway, I might as well eat!”

Jin Chuan'er glanced at Jia Chang and hesitated, as if she had thought of something.

With sharp eyes, Jia Changhui noticed Jin Chuan'er's strangeness and spoke.

"Jinchuan'er, you don't need to worry about it, but it doesn't matter!"

"Today, Second Master Bao came to pester Miss Lin, but the girl threatened him and drove him away!"

When Jia Chang heard this, he immediately knew who did it and said to Lin Daiyu.

"This stupid girl, just stay here for now. I'll go out to do some things and I'll be back soon!"

After that, Jia Chang left in a hurry. He had already locked the aura of the person who cast the spell, and went straight to the Great Bright Bodhisattva Temple.

With a fierce look in his eyes and murderous intent, Jia Chang went straight into Ma Daopo's room and stared at the middle-aged woman.

Ma Daopo's appearance is not ugly. There is a lot of charm between her eyebrows, her facial features are straight, and there are some crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She is a mature woman. It can be seen that she was a handsome person when she was young.

Jia Chang felt the Yin Qi gathering on Ma Daopo's body, frowned slightly, his face was expressionless, and his cold voice was filled with majesty and murderous intent as he asked.

"Are you the one who cast spells to harm Xiao Ruyi?!"

Ma Daopo was shocked when she heard this. The pupils in her eyes stood up with a fierce light. She looked at Jia Chang, and saw endless evil energy coming into her eyes, converging into a black tiger, majestic, ferocious and domineering.

Black Tiger seemed to sense Ma Daopo's prying eyes. He raised his head and roared, the sound was like thunder, which made Ma Daopo's soul tremble, her body trembled, and a smell of urine came from her body.

Jia Chang looked at the light yellow water stains on the ground, disgust and disgust flashed in his eyes, and said coldly.

"I really didn't expect that the temple blessing of the Great Light Illuminating Bodhisattva would actually be a celestial being! No wonder he knows the art of witchcraft and nightmares, but he's just using some insidious means that are unattainable!"

The Chuma Immortal originated from shamanism and is very popular in Jianzhou. The North Horse among the Nanmao and the North Horse refers to the Chuma Immortal. The Chuma Immortal is mostly a middle-aged woman who needs to be worshiped by the immortal family. Most of them are bearded, yellow and white, and willow ash. They are foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes and rats. By using possession to cast spells, they can treat illnesses, save people, or cast spells to harm people.

The origin of Chuma Immortal is very complicated. Some are passed down from ancestors, and some are sought by oneself. If there is a cousin, it can be regarded as a family inheritance, and it is passed down from daughter to son, and from daughter-in-law to son. Because the daughter's surname is outside the family, it is eventually passed on to the daughter-in-law. It’s not like you can cut off someone whenever you want, or invite someone whenever you want. If you want to invite other halls to come forward, you can only invite them if you work together. Because the person invited to establish the hall is a well-educated and well-known immortal family, it can be said that it is a good marriage. Therefore, it is easy to invite the gods but difficult to send them away. If you want to break up the hall, you will inevitably be entangled by the immortal family, and misfortunes will continue. It will not stop until you continue to worship.

"He's just a naughty fox. He has some skills and dares to come out and harm people!"

"If you don't come to provoke me, even if I meet you, I won't bother to pay attention to you. But you actually overestimate your capabilities and dare to take action against Xiao Ruyi. Don't blame me for being cruel!"

After that, Jia Chang had a thought, and the black tiger transformed by the evil spirit above his head suddenly pounced out, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed the soul of the fox fairy hidden in the void in one mouthful. Ma Daopo's eyes stood up. Dissipated and returned to its original appearance, with a look of horror on his face and he said fearfully.

"The villain is blind and has offended the Duke. I ask the Duke to spare my life!"

"Tell me! Who made you assassinate Xiao Ruyi?!"

Jia Chang already had the answer in his heart, he just wanted to confirm it again.

How could Ma Daopo dare to hide anything at this time? Everything about Mrs. Wang was exposed. Jia Chang was not surprised. He sneered and took Ma Daopo to the Hall of Rongxi.

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Chang with a frosty face and Jia Baoyu's godmother Ma Daopo following behind him. He wondered what was going on?

"Chang'er, what's wrong with you? Who doesn't have a good eye to provoke you?"

After several incidents, Jia Zheng finally understood that Jia Chang was a evil star, and anyone who provoked him would be in bad luck.

"Ma Daopo, tell me what happened today, lest anyone say I framed her!"

When Ma Daopo heard this, she didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly told Zhou Rui's family when they found her, how much money they gave her, and what they said.

Jia Zheng's face was ashen. The most taboo thing among the wealthy families was the witchcraft and nightmare technique. This was a taboo matter. If the palace knew about it, the entire Rongguo Mansion would be in trouble.

"You can't just listen to Ma Daopo's words on this matter, you need to prove it!"

Jia Zheng did not dare to easily conclude that Mrs. Wang did this, so he wanted to investigate.

"It's easy to ask for a certificate. Zhou Rui's family is still in the house. I asked someone to take her away. You will know as soon as you ask!"

Jia Chang was definitely not willing to let Mrs. Wang go easily this time. He glanced at Jia Zheng and said slowly.

Jia Zheng nodded when he heard this, pushed Zhou Rui away, and asked the servant to tie up Zhou Rui's family.

Jia Chang and Jia Zheng were sitting above, while Ma Daopo was kneeling on the ground, looking panicked and embarrassed. When the Zhou Rui family saw this scene, they didn't know that the matter had been exposed. Without Jia Zheng and Jia Chang's interrogation, they just poured out the beans. Things spit out.

"With all the witnesses and material evidence, I finally have no doubts this time, right?"

Jia Chang's face was as cold as frost, and he was unwilling to give up. He asked Jia Zheng forcefully.

"No more doubts, what do you want to do?"

Jia Zheng slumped in his chair dejectedly. He could not believe that Mrs. Wang would do such a thing. He was confused and didn't know what to do.

"I, the Jia family, cannot tolerate such a poisonous woman. She actually dares to use the magic of witchcraft and nightmare. If your Majesty finds out about it, you will have to ask the Rongguo Mansion!"

"Master, please divorce your wife. Now, with the power of the Jia family, we can remarry. What kind of woman can't be found?"

"Absolutely not. If you divorce your wife, things will definitely get into trouble. Wouldn't it be clear to the outside world that our Jia family has a witchcraft nightmare?"

After all, Jia Zheng said this because he was nostalgic for his old friendship and wanted to plead for Mrs. Wang.

"Then let her die of illness, and her reputation will be saved!"

Jia Chang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his heart was as strong as iron, and he said coldly.

Jia Zheng was horrified, with an expression of disbelief on his face. After all, Mrs. Wang was Jia Chang's aunt, how could he say such cold and heartless words.

"no!"

Jia Zheng stood up and objected, saying that he absolutely disagreed with this method. It would be better to divorce Mrs. Wang.

"Chang'er, after all, my wife has been sharing the same bed with me for decades. She has given birth to children, and there is no credit, but hard work! I can't bear to see her end like this, so you should be considerate of me and spare her life!"

"Besides, you don't want Yuanchun, Baoyu, and Jialan to hate you in the future. If the whole family becomes enemies, the family will be broken up!"

Jia Zheng begged hard, tears flashing in his old eyes, hoping that Jia Chang would raise his hand and spare Mrs. Wang's life.

Jia Chang sighed after hearing this. He didn't care about Jia Baoyu, but Yuanchun sacrificed a lot for the Jia family. Jia Lan respected and loved him very much and regarded him as his father. He didn't want to hurt their hearts. He pondered for a moment and said .

"I just want to spare her life for the sake of my eldest sister and Lan'er!"

"Don't she like to chant sutras and worship Buddha? Let her stay in the Buddhist hall in the mansion for the rest of her life and never come out again!"

Hearing this, Jia Zheng wanted to continue begging for mercy, but when he saw Jia Chang's face turned pale, he suddenly did not dare to speak any more and had to agree.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had taken care of the matter, Jia Chang looked at Ma Daopo and Zhou Rui's family and said coldly.

"Zhou Rui's family is a helper of evil and a villain. Beat her fifty times. The whole family should rush to the village!"

Jia Chang did not drive Zhou Rui's family out of Rongguo Mansion, because they knew a lot of private affairs in Rongguo Mansion, and letting them out would be a disaster.

The servants and stewards took orders and took Zhou Rui's family away, leaving only Ma Daopo.

A cold light flashed in Jia Zheng's eyes, his eyes were sinister, and he said coldly.

"This person must not stay, otherwise outsiders will know that something like this happened in Rongguo Mansion, and the consequences will be endless!"

"Then let me let someone deal with it!"

Jia Chang said nonchalantly. He ignored Ma Daopo's cry for mercy and walked straight towards Mrs. Wang. Although he spared Mrs. Wang's life, he was still unhappy and wanted to vent.

In the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and chanted sutras. The beads in her hand kept turning. Suddenly, the string broke and the beads fell and rolled all over the floor.

Mrs. Wang looked at the rope in her hand in surprise, and she quickly knelt down on the ground and prayed.

"Disciple prays sincerely and hopes that Bodhisattva will bless you!"

At this moment, the door of the Buddhist hall was pushed open, and there was a sound of footsteps. Jia Chang stood behind Mrs. Wang and said coldly.

"You are so sinful that not even a Bodhisattva can protect you!"

When Mrs. Wang heard Jia Chang's voice, she felt something bad in her heart. She stood up, glared at him and shouted.

"Who let you in?"

Jia Chang looked at the arrogant and angry Mrs. Wang. Without saying a word, he waved his right hand and slapped Mrs. Wang hard on the face. Her delicately maintained face instantly became red and swollen, leaving clear palm prints.

"Snapped!"

Mrs. Wang was stunned. She looked at Jia Chang in disbelief. After she realized what she was doing, she roared hysterically and reached out to fight Jia Chang.

"You dare to hit me?"

"Snapped!"

Jia Chang slapped Mrs. Wang's right cheek again with his backhand. It was symmetrical, aesthetic and artistic, and looked much more comfortable.

"So what if I hit you?"

"How dare you let Ma Daopo use the witchcraft nightmare technique to curse Xiao Ruyi. I wish I could kill you. If I hadn't begged for mercy, you would be a dead person now!"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she suddenly felt weak. The matter was revealed, and she was extremely frightened. No matter whether they were members of the royal family or noble families, the most fearful thing was the art of witchcraft. Once discovered, they would never tolerate it.

There is a reason why the royal family and noble families are afraid of the art of witchcraft. In the second year of Zhenghe in the Western Han Dynasty, Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, was accused of using witchcraft to curse Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and committing adultery with Princess Yangshi. Gongsun He and his son were imprisoned and died. Princess Yi and Princess Yangshi, as well as Wei Qing's son Changping Hou Wei and his wife were all executed.

Jiang Chong, a favored minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was ordered to investigate witchcraft cases and used torture and frame-up to force people to confess. The ministers and people were frightened and randomly accused others of crimes, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. There was a gap between Jiang Chong and the prince Liu Zhi, so he took the opportunity to frame the prince, and told Hou Han, the eunuch, that the eunuch Su Wen and four other people framed the prince. The prince was frightened and launched an army to kill Jiang Chong. Later, he was suppressed by Emperor Wu and defeated. The queen Weizi Her husband and Prince Liu Zheng committed suicide one after another.

Huguan Yi Lao, Tian Qianqiu and others filed a lawsuit against the prince. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally came to his senses and ordered Yijiang to be recognized as a second clan and Su Wen was burned to death. He also built a "Womb of Remembrance" at the place where the prince was murdered as a "stand for mourning upon return" to commemorate him. Hundreds of thousands of people were implicated in this incident, which is known as the Black Witch Disaster in history.

Having learned from this experience, the royal families and emperors of later dynasties were extremely afraid of the matter of witchcraft and would never tolerate it once it was discovered.

Jia Chang was still angry, so he slapped Mrs. Wang twice again and slapped her to the ground.

"You can stay in the Buddhist hall from now on. If you take a step forward, you can prepare for your funeral!"

Jia Chang was extremely indifferent, his eyes were like looking at a dead person without any fluctuation, and he said coldly to Mrs. Wang.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded, looked at Jia Chang in disbelief, and roared unconvinced.

"You can't do this, I'm your aunt!"

Jia Chang sneered, his eyes were extremely cold, he stared at Mrs. Wang, and said.

"My dear mother, what is that? I have never taken it seriously!"

After that, Jia Chang turned around and left. The door of the Buddhist hall was immediately closed, leaving only Mrs. Wang inside. Loneliness and fear came to her heart. She kept wailing, like the roar of an evil ghost, which was very scary.

Jia Chang returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion again and saw Xiao Ruyi joking with Lin Daiyu. She was very nervous and heartless, but she was quite happy.

When Lin Daiyu saw Jia Chang coming back, she quickly stood up to greet him and asked.

"Has the matter been cleared up?"

Jia Chang sat next to Xiao Ruyi, and Lin Daiyu poured him a cup of tea herself. She was gentle and quiet, which surprised people. Is this still the petty concubine Xiaoxiang?

"already solved!"

Jia Chang picked up the teacup, took a sip, nodded slightly, and replied.

"Who did it?"

"Mrs. Wang, she will have to stay in the Buddhist hall from now on!"

"Second aunt?"

Lin Daiyu exclaimed softly, somewhat unbelievable. After all, Mrs. Wang usually pretends very well, has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, chants sutras and worships Buddha. Lin Daiyu did not expect that she would do such evil things!

"How do you know her true face? People are sinister and cannot be judged by their appearance!"

Jia Chang drank all the tea in the cup, his mouth was fragrant, he nodded secretly, and asked.

"Your tea is good, what do you use to make it?"

Lin Daiyu said with a bit of pride on her face when she heard this.

"This is five-year-old plum blossom snow that I begged from Miaoyu. I use it to make tea, but it is extremely elegant!"

Miaoyu was the abbot of the Rongguofu family temple and the nun who practiced on her behalf. She was originally from Suzhou, and her ancestors also came from a family of scholars and officials. Because Miaoyu had been sick since she was a child, she bought many substitutes, but none of them worked. Finally, she entered Buddhism and became healthy. Now that both parents are dead, there are only two old ladies and a little girl to serve him. He has amazing talents and knowledge, is proficient in Buddhism, and has excellent appearance.

Because she heard about the Avalokitesvara Beiye scriptures in the sacred city, Miaoyu followed her master to Beijing last year and practiced in Muni Monastery. Her master was proficient in innate divine numbers and passed away last winter.

Miaoyu originally wanted to support her soul and return to her hometown, but her master's last words before her death said that it was not suitable for her to return to her hometown for food, clothing and daily life. Fortunately, she stayed in Shenjing. Later, by chance, she entered the Rongguofu family temple and became the abbot. Responsible for chanting sutras and explaining Buddhism for the Rongguo Mansion.

However, Miaoyu had a eccentric personality and a great temper. She was fair to everyone, but she looked at Jia Baoyu in a different light. Even Lin Daiyu did not dare to provoke her.

When Jia Chang heard this, he shook his head slightly, poured another cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.

When Lin Daiyu saw Jia Chang drinking cows, she smiled, Miaoyu's Three Cups theory sounded, and joked to Jia Chang.

"You're ruining this good tea by eating it like this!"

"I remember Miaoyu once said that one cup is a drink, two cups is a thirst-quenching fool, and three cups is a cow and a donkey!"

"If you let her see you eating tea like this, she will be annoyed at all costs!"

Jia Chang was unmoved. He filled the bottle again and drank it all in one gulp. He was extremely heroic and had a different style from elegance. He said with a smile.

"Tea is just for quenching thirst. Whether she is annoyed or not, what does it have to do with me? As long as you don't annoy me, Sister Lin!"

Lin Daiyu was shy when she heard this, rolled her eyes and said softly.

"How do you know I'm not angry?"

While Lin Daiyu was talking, she saw that Jia Chang's glass was empty, so she filled another glass for him.

Jia Chang did not drink from the cow this time, but tasted it carefully. He was elegant and handsome, and had another style.

"Sister Lin didn't even have time to love me. If she was angry, how could she fill the cup for me?"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her pretty face turned red, her head drooped, and she refused to obey.

"If you flirt with me again, I will be really annoyed!"

Xiaoru noticed that the two of them talked about how delicious the tea was, so he quickly poured a cup, drank it all in one gulp, licked his lips twice, examined it carefully, and spoke.

"It's no different from drinking tea on ordinary days. How can the young master and Miss Lin speak so well?"

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu laughed so hard that she covered her lips with her handkerchief and joked.

"You are indeed brother and sister, you are both those idiots who only know how to quench their thirst!"

Xiao Ruyi quit after hearing this, raised her little head, looked at Lin Daiyu unconvinced, and retorted.

"I'm not stupid, I know a lot of words!"

After talking about herself, Xiao Ruyi looked at Jia Chang again, with a proud expression on her face, and said loudly.

"The young master is not stupid. He is well-read in astronomy, geography, laws and calendars, music, medicine, divination, water conservancy, geography, finance, military, and art of war. He is master of everything and knows everything. He is the most powerful!"
