953 Wish Bottle 6
I didn't understand any of this political and business stuff at all. Lin Yanhuan had no intention of letting me understand, he just smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao, your name sounds really nice. It has a...A body soaking in a jar is not exactly shocking to those studying medicine.
But such an isolated house in the countryside, deserted and with only a specimen jar sitting in the corner, was rather strange.
It couldn't have been the can that walked over here, could it
Daozong whispered in detail about some unknown things. Before, he said his brother-in-law was making a scene across the border gate, raising nannies, and liking to eat all kinds of exotic beasts, quite a number of wicked offspring.
But he wasn't the kind to be ruthless. Those poor families who came to work, he didn't skimp on paying them or giving them benefits. He donated money to roads, schools, and health clinics—he was generous.
He is very indulgent in his personal life, but he treats the people under him well, so some are willing to die for him.
In the Southeast Asia overseas, all countries and people here believe in religious ghosts and gods. Remote and impoverished mountain villages are even more rampant with witch doctors and sorcerers, most of whom have a superficial understanding and cheat and deceive ordinary people as so-called "experts."
But there was a man who was famous throughout the entire peninsula, and even in Southeast Asia, namely a great shaman commonly known as "Dragon King".
It is rumored that this great shaman witnessed a dragon ascending to immortality during a tribulation in his youth. As a result, he gained enlightenment, becoming capable of foreseeing the near future, wielding powerful spells, and achieving immortality.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but retort, "Do people still believe in immortality"
"That's true." Seventh Senior Brother took a bite of an unlit cigarette, saying softly, "Sometimes the more people understand life, the more confused they become. Many high-ranking officials come to our Yin family precisely for longevity and immortality. These people are either rich or powerful; their knowledge, vision, and experiences far surpass ours. Yet, don't they also fear death and want to extend their lives Little do they know that many things have a preordained destiny. Humans can influence fate but not change destiny."
"Fate can be changed, but fortune cannot. This is a common saying in the industry."
Do people who defy fate exist Perhaps they do, but not you or me. Those kinds of people exist in legends.
The Dragon King, despite being over a hundred years old, still possessed a radiant appearance and boundless energy. This led many to believe he was a divine shaman who had attained enlightenment. Many commoners, business tycoons, idols, government officials, and even warlords would devoutly visit him. Many people considered it an honor just to see him once.
However, most of the time, one only sees his descendants.
There was once a Thai man named Ong Chai who traveled to the vicinity of Dao Zong's brother-in-law's jade mine. He ran out of money and food, so he came to beg for shelter. Dao Zong's brother-in-law was very generous and gave him food and money. Ong Chai clung to the wealthy man's leg and lived a comfortable life for a while.
Then she quickly started to tidy things up. Even Daozong's brother-in-law had to keep a low profile, behaving himself for a while. During this period, Daozong’s sister was in danger on her career path, constantly being targeted and almost implicated several times.
"Dao Zong's brother-in-law couldn't help but complain, and through the servant beside him, it reached Ong Chai's ears. Ong Chai then explained his identity, saying that he was the disciple of the Dragon King, who could have a way to dispel disasters and avert misfortune, and could also retaliate against those political opponents."
At that time, the small squad happened to be going to the border to investigate Daozong's brother-in-law's business. Daozong's brother-in-law was under a lot of pressure and felt guilty. He was afraid that his wife would find out about him raising a group of young women, so he asked Wengcai to disband the group of wives and then went to great lengths to conceal his daily life.
Wong Chai said that we could adopt a little ghost. The ghost is obedient and well-behaved, only needing a little blood as sustenance, and he claimed to know how to catch and tame ghosts. He said that all we needed was a small temple to house the ghost.
In the Peninsula and Southeast Asia, this method is common, mostly passed down by word of mouth and is false.
Few truly knowledgeable people exist, and Mr. Weng is also just a half-baked expert.
"This house was originally intended to be built as a very small temple, but for some reason construction always encountered problems. Building in the gullies was already difficult, and after the workers who came to build it had an accident and ran away, the project couldn't continue. Within two months, it was covered by weeds and vines like a haunted house." General Dao shook his head and sighed.
"What a creepy house, it's obviously haunted." I rolled my eyes and said, "You can tell from the photos how scary this is. If you saw it in person, wouldn't you be terrified By the way, who took these pictures"
“The man sent on the secret mission, unfortunately… he’s… unable to speak anymore… After taking pictures, his car was smashed by rolling rocks on the way back to the city. The windshield shattered, cutting his throat. The car then went off a cliff... He’s currently hanging on, but there are no signs of him waking up. He’s been transferred to the imperial capital for treatment…”
"And our family started having all sorts of misfortunes from that time on. All kinds of businesses were struggling, and there was even a car accident. I almost got hit by a car in the parking lot last time, luckily nothing happened... I saw this photo and immediately put it down and didn't dare to circulate it among my family members, because I was afraid those gossips would spread it everywhere."
After Daozong finished speaking, he sighed heavily and said, “It seems that sometimes, not believing in ghosts and spirits can have consequences…”
"Those who raise ghosts usually bring misfortune upon themselves." I have no sympathy for their situation.
"Really Then why do so many people keep ghosts" Daozong frowned.
“Don’t believe everything you hear. Most people who claim to raise ghosts are just making things up. Actually summoning a ghost is a lifelong burden… Think about it, people raise ghosts hoping they'll help them harm others. What happens when you have no enemies left, only your family and yourself The ghost has no purpose anymore, so it will turn on you.”
"Is there any way to get rid of him" Daozong asked a little awkwardly. "To be honest, I'd like to ask you to take this kid away..."
“This place isn't at home, how can I deliver it What kind of place is this It’s still in the wilderness outside the border, I don't have time to run so far!” I glared at Dao Zong, my teeth bared: “Besides, I’m about to go on a long trip soon, I don’t have time to deal with this little ghost.”
"A far gate" Daozong was stunned and asked, "Is Miss Yin Er going out to play"
"Yeah, let's go out and have some fun," I replied with a raised eyebrow.
Dao Zong was eager to win me over. Hearing that I was going to Macau, he immediately took out his wallet and pulled out a glittering card, handing it to me.
"This is a special card for the top ten casinos worldwide. It's card-based, not person-based. The annual fee is 10 million dollars. You can have an overdraft limit of 20 million dollars at any casino and enjoy various privileges... I'll lend it to you to try out. Whatever you win is yours, and whatever you lose is on me." Daozong said generously.
"What's with all the fawning" I looked over at this expensive, black platinum card with its four corners.
"Well...isn't this a bit of a favor you're asking..." family as the head of Kun Dao, their circle held them in high regard, making her personality increasingly arrogant. Moreover, being human, she naturally possessed the seven emotions and six desires.P...
