If sothing like this was worn for a long ti, it would bring misfortune upon oneself. Soone with a light Eight Characters reading is prone to illness.
"It's this."
Ren Ran already had her suspicions, and now that they were confird, she wasn't overly surprised, just felt chilled to the heart.
"Who gave this to you?"
"My little aunt. They went on a trip to Thailand before, asked about my family mbers' birthdays and Eight Characters, and specially asked for protective Buddhist pendants."
"Let take a look at the other Buddhist pendants."
Ren Ran nodded, she had this intention.
After school in the evening, Ren Ran didn't stay for self-study, and directly took the bus to her grandparents' villa halfway up the mountain.
The old couple were very happy about her arrival, and had Auntie Wang cook up many delicious things, chatting with her grandparents for quite a while before bringing up the matter of the protective Buddhist pendants.
She made up an excuse to take away both of their protective Buddhist pendants.
The first thing she did when she got ho was to take all the protective Buddhist pendants to Qing Xuan.
Qing Xuan opened up each of these protective Buddhist pendants one by one, and each contained a talisman inside.
In Ren Ran's eyes, these talismans looked quite similar, and she didn't know if they were the sa.
"How is it?"
"These talismans are all drawn with the fresh blood of people who died unjust deaths."
Ren Ran's expression darkened.
In their previous lives, her grandparents had died in a car accident, she didn't know if it was because of these things, or if their deaths were facilitated under the blessing of these.
Either way, these were harmful objects.
"What about your dad's?" Qing Xuan looked at the three pendants in front of him.
"His is at his company, not convenient to take right now."
She hadn't had a chance to take it yet.
If this matter was unrelated to him, naturally she could take it. If it was related, she was afraid of startling the snake in the grass.
"Who gave these things to you?"
"My aunt."
Ren Ran carefully recounted where these Buddhist pendants ca from.
Now, combined with the trajectory of their past lives, it fit completely.
"How should these things be dealt with?"
"I'll redraw so protective talismans to replace these. Ordinary people won't notice any difference, unless it's the people behind the scenes." Qing Xuan said confidently.
"Thank you."
Qing Xuan took out talisman paper and cinnabar from his bag, and started drawing protective talismans.
From the first stroke of the brush, Ren Ran could clearly feel an invisible pressure radiating from his surroundings. By the ti he was drawing the second talisman, fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead, even though his strokes seed to flow smoothly like clouds and water, exceptionally effortless.
By the third talisman, the color had faded from his face, gradually turning pale.
When he put down the last stroke, Qing Xuan looked as if he had just run a twenty kiloter marathon, drenched in sweat from head to toe.
"Phew." Qing Xuan put down the brush and let out that mouthful of stale breath, handing over the four protective talismans to her.
"You put them back in place."
"Thank you, Daoist."
Qing Xuan waved his hand unconcernedly, "Just a small matter."
After school, Ren Ran went to her grandparents' villa halfway up the mountain again.
Coming here two days in a row, her grandparents were very happy.
"Knowing you were coming, Auntie Wang specially stewed black chicken soup for you to nourish your body." Grandma looked at her granddaughter dotingly.
"How are your studies?" Grandpa asked.
"Fine."
"You old man, why ask about studying? Aren't you just putting pressure on the child?" Grandma glared at him dissatisfiedly.
Grandpa quickly surrendered, not daring to retort.
Watching the old man and old lady bicker with each other, Ren Ran felt sweet and warm inside.
Seeing that she had finished drinking, Grandma prepared to serve her a second bowl, but was declined by her.
"Grandma, I'm already full."
She took out the Buddhist pendants from her pocket, "Grandpa, Grandma, these are for you."
Grandpa took them in hand, "Ranran, is there so issue with these?"
Just as Ren Ran was about to speak, the doorbell rang, followed by Auntie Wang's voice from the entrance.
"Sir, Madam, Miss Shuyun is here."
Ren Shuyun, upon hearing this na, Ren Ran's eyes darkened slightly.
It didn't take long before her aunt's family of three entered, handing over gifts to Auntie Wang's hands, smiling and greeting them.
"Uncle, Auntie."
Seeing Ren Ran, Ren Shuyun's face was full of delight, "Oh my, Ranran is here too?"
She turned her head and glanced around, "Did big sister and brother-in-law not co?"
"They didn't co." Ren Old Lady welcod the three to sit down.
Auntie Wang brought tea, and Ren Shuyun turned to look at her daughter Xu Ying, "Little Ying, weren't you always clamoring about not understanding so things? It just so happens your sister Ranran is here, have her teach you."
A flash of impatience passed through Xu Ying's lowered eyes. When she raised her head, her eyes were smiling, "Sis, let's talk outside."
As she spoke, she reached out to hook Ren Ran's arm.
Looking at her younger sister a year younger than herself, the smile didn't reach Ren Ran's eyes.
She still rembered clearly the last ti they t was outside a cafe, where she only did one thing - pour a cup of scalding hot coffee over her head from above, threw down a few hundred dollars, and strode away.
That kind of disdainful, disgusted expression, she rembered vividly.
Ren Ran slowly pried her hand away, her voice flat, "No need, I only ca today to accompany Grandpa and Grandma. My seat's not even ward yet before Auntie couldn't wait to see leave."
She was barely short of saying 'you co and I have to go, who do you think you are?'
Ren Shuyun was startled, and quickly smiled apologetically, "Oh my, little aunt didn't consider carefully."
Her hand clenched tightly on her knee.
Grandpa spoke up, "Shuyun, did you co today for sothing?"
Ren Shuyun imdiately sat up straight, "Uncle, earlier Zhengyang made an investnt, and the money had just been deposited not long ago, still not ti yet, but our family happened to have a little incident. His no-good younger brother got scamd doing business outside, owing so debts. His younger brother ca begging to him, as the older brother he couldn't just sit by and watch, but really his own hands were a bit tight, unable to take out so much money all at once. So I'm here thick-skinned asking Uncle to give a little, to tide things over for the ti being."
"Don't worry Uncle, as soon as the profits from that investnt co in, we'll pay you back imdiately. During this period, we'll also pay interest."
At first Ren Ran didn't feel anything, but gradually, so fragnts of mories from her sealed mories surfaced.
Sothing like this also happened in their previous lives, at the ti she wasn't here, and it was only through bits of information revealed when her parents occasionally talked to each other that she found out about this matter afterwards.
What little uncle owing debts, clearly they two had failed investnts and owed debts themselves. If they didn't pay back the money soon, the bank would repossess their current chain restaurant.
As for interest, that was just lip service.
In their previous lives, forget about giving interest, even the fifty million they lent out in the end wasn't paid back a single cent.
Seeing the face of their deceased younger brother, Grandpa and Grandma took care of the two of them in many ways, helping wipe their butts countless tis.
But what did they do in return?
They actually put those kinds of harmful things in the Buddhist pendants they gifted.
The saying "help soone and they'll be grateful, harm soone and they'll seek revenge" was completely right.
A family like them with wolf hearts and dog lungs wasn't worth Grandpa and Grandma's care.
Before Grandpa could speak, Ren Ran was the first to say, "Auntie, which temple did you ask for those Buddhist pendants from when you went to Thailand last ti? My friend is planning to go to Thailand for vacation, and also wants to ask for a Buddhist pendant."
Her rhythm disrupted, Ren Shuyun felt uncomfortable in her heart, but still patiently said, "I've forgotten specifically which temple, those nas are too tongue-twisting and hard to rember. I'll ask the tour guide who received us when I get back, and let you know afterwards."
