Chapter 1006 Be Honest
There was no need for Xie Qiao to bluff Liuming.
How could there be any free benefits in the world? After all, the fortune that he had stolen through the souls of the dead was not his. If he borrowed money and did more good deeds, he could make up for it. It would not have much of an impact.
However, looking at Liuming’s face, he was afraid that he had done a lot of bad things instead of good things. If that was the case, he would definitely suffer a backlash and would not end well!
When Liuming heard Xie Qiao’s words, he was skeptical. “Impossible! Master wouldn’t lie to
me!”
“Heh.” Xie Qiao sneered. “So naive.”
Xie Qiao did not think of proving the power of this soul-gathering and wealth-generating formation. It was unnecessary.
It did not matter to her whether Liuming believed that young Taoist or not.
Her contempt actually made Liuming panic a little. “M-My master said that this is fortune. He guaranteed that there won’t be any harm…”
“It’s already like this. It doesn’t make any difference to you whether there will be any harm.” Xie Qiao glanced at him indifferently, as if she was looking at a dead body. “What is your master’s background? Tell me everything, so that you won’t suffer.”
Liuming did not want to tell.
However, he was timid.
He thought about how the female Taoist master could instantly ignite the lights in the room with a snap of her fingers. This ability was probably sky-high, he felt that he really could not afford to offend her.
He could not help but feel sad.
He was too unlucky…
“Why do you ask? My master is amazing. He did not hurt anyone. He is so small, like a child. He can’t hurt anyone even if he wanted to,” Liuming said while shrinking his head.
“The things in your house are obviously the setup of the soul-gathering and wealth-generating formation, but when I went there, I couldn’t see any ghouls. Do you know why?” Xie Qiao asked.
Liuming shook his head. How would he know?
He had once inherited a Taoist temple, but it was particularly dilapidated. Almost no one had set foot in it, and the surrounding wilderness was uninhabited. It was actually just a shabby house.
He really did not have the ability. He only knew how to recite a few scriptures.
“This kind of formation will attract the souls of the dead to come closer. A capable Taoist master can command the souls of the dead to come here for wealth. I think you must have made a lot of money. Now, if you don’t have too much greed for money, your master can take all those souls away.”
Not just those in the formation, but those outside as well.
What the formation attracted should be those souls of the dead who died for money.
These souls of the Baili family did not fit, but since this person would take those souls of the dead, it was possible that he also had the intention to take in other souls.
Liuming could not see the souls of the dead. As for what Xie Qiao said, he was muddle-headed and ignorant.
Seeing that he was not being honest, the guard immediately placed the blade around his neck.
Feeling the cold blade, Liuming was so scared that his whole body trembled. Like a coward, he said immediately, “I-I really don’t understand these things… It was all arranged by Master…
“My master, his name is Wan Jiulei. I only know that he looks young, but in fact, he is already forty years old. Master is an expert in cultivation. I heard that when he was young, he had already cultivated the dao, so he’s able to maintain his youthful appearance… Master is indeed very powerful…
“I only met him two months ago. I only know his name, but I really don’t know anything else…” Liuming wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was so scared that he almost fainted.
What were these officials trying to do?!
“Then have you come to the Fortune Pavilion before?” Xie Qiao asked again.
“Yes, I have.” Taoist Master Liuming’s heart trembled. “It was Master who asked me to come. He said that he had something to give to the owner of this place…”
