Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 690 Unintentional
After a slight hesitation, Young Master Gao asked, "Where shall we go now?"

"Prepare kerosene, strong liquor, coarse salt, cinnabar, yellow paper, and a pen, the sooner the better. Right here, find a place where you can write or move a table over; we need to do some processing here," Tang Wan said in a cold voice with a serious expression.

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Young Master Gao quickly turned around and instructed his servant, "Do as the master says, and be quick!"

Three servants who came to dig the pit left at once.

While retrieving the items, Tang Wan calmed her mind, made hand seals and chanted incantations, and a faint golden light emanated, temporarily suppressing the constantly overflowing bloodthirsty energy.

Although the young master Gao next to her didn't know what Tang Wan was doing, he inexplicably felt that his chest was not so heavy and his body felt a little lighter.

The servants who had just dug the pit shared the same feeling. They exchanged glances, all understanding what the other was thinking.

Before long, the two servants carrying the table returned first, and a little while later, the servant who had fetched the other items also returned.

The item was retrieved. Tang Wan poured the cinnabar into a bowl, added strong liquor, ground it, and chanted an incantation. The cinnabar dissolved, becoming a bright red and viscous substance.

Tang Wan's space does not have this kind of talisman because it is rarely used, so it must be made on-site.

Moreover, more talismans are needed this time.

After completing the preparations, Tang Wan picked up a brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and quickly wrote seven "Suppressing Evil and Breaking Away Talismans" on yellow paper.

The talisman was completed, and a faint golden light shimmered.

She picked up the first talisman, flicked her wrist, and the talisman was precisely affixed to the southwest corner of the pit wall with a soft "hiss".

The second and third talismans were affixed to the northwest and northeast corners, respectively.

Tang Wan then picked up the kerosene and poured it all into the pit, soaking the dagger and purse.

"Back off!" she shouted, leaping out of the pit. The crowd quickly retreated.

Tang Wan stood still, her right hand forming a hand seal, her left hand pointing to the bottom of the pit, chanting an incantation incomprehensible to others. After a moment, a shout of "Break!" rang out.

Then, a burst of flame erupted from Tang Wan's fingertips—Samadhi True Fire—and shot into the deep pit!

"Boom!" An explosion erupted inside the pit! The black surface of the dagger cracked and peeled off, burning to ashes and revealing the dark red inside.

The black mist hissed as it escaped, only to be extinguished by the true fire.

The scarlet purse twisted and struggled in the fire, red light resisting white light, eerie symbols swirling with malevolent energy.

The purse burst open with a "poof," and the jet-black hair spread out, dancing and hissing wildly in the fire!

Tang Wan's face turned pale. She swiftly drew a talisman in the air with her right hand, a golden light flashed, and then quickly pressed down with her left hand, shouting, "Evil creature, be punished!"

The fire surged! A pure white light illuminated the deep pit! Then it quickly dissipated, turning into ashes and disappearing along with the hair, the purse fragments, and the dagger remnants.

The flames died down. Only scorched earth and grayish-white ashes remained at the bottom of the pit. The bloodthirsty resentment had completely vanished.

Tang Wan exhaled, sweat beading on her forehead.

"Master! Are you alright?" Gao Wenyuan rushed forward, his voice trembling.

"It's alright," Tang Wan waved her hand. "Fortunately, I haven't failed in my mission. The evil spirit has been eliminated, and the root of the bloodlust has been severed. The women in your courtyard will gradually recover. But..."

She looked sharply at Young Master Gao: "But you should investigate who orchestrated this as soon as possible, because this kind of thing is hard to prevent."

She picked up a piece of dark purple fabric remnant (at the purse symbol) and handed it to Gao Wenyuan: "Look at this fabric and embroidery thread. Top-quality silk, dark purple. This unique twisted thread embroidery technique... Do any women in your household or among your close relatives use this?"

Gao Wenyuan took it with trembling hands and examined it closely. The more he looked, the paler his face became.
He was drenched in cold sweat; clearly, he had thought of something extremely terrifying. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but Tang Wan raised her hand to stop him.

“Young Master Gao,” Tang Wan said calmly but firmly, “the matter of the Xuanmen has been resolved, and the root of the trouble has been removed. Now that you have been given this clue, how to investigate the inside story and clean house is up to your Gao family. I have said all I have to say.”

Gao Wenyuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his turbulent emotions, and solemnly put the piece of cloth away.

"The Gao family will forever remember your kindness, Master!" He immediately turned to his personal servant and said in a deep voice, "Go to the accounting office immediately and fetch a thousand taels of silver to thank you, Master!"

The servant obeyed and ran off.

Tang Wan accepted it calmly.

It's only natural for her to receive payment for running her shop and doing business.

Before long, the servant returned carrying a light, brocade pouch.

Young Master Gao presented the item with both hands: "This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it, Master. Also..." He paused, "I wonder if you have any talismans that can ward off evil spirits, calm the mind, and protect the women in the household? After this incident, everyone in the family is in a state of panic."

“Of course there are.” Tang Wan nodded and took out three drawn “calming talismans” from her cloth bag (actually a space) and handed them to Gao Wenyuan. “Have the women keep these talismans close to their bodies to dispel any remaining yin energy.”

“Fifty taels per talisman,” she added to the price.

Without hesitation, the young master Gao immediately had his servant fetch a silver note to pay for the calming talisman.

Tang Wan carefully put away the silver notes and then kindly advised, "Young Master Gao, the main courtyard in the southwest has been eroded by the bloodthirsty aura for a long time, like an old tree hollowed out by termites, its vitality almost completely cut off. Although the evil spirits have been removed, it will be difficult to recover in the short term. For the sake of safety, I suggest that you and your family temporarily move out of this courtyard and choose another place to live. Do not move back for at least three months, so that the courtyard can absorb the pure energy of heaven and earth and slowly recover its vitality."

"I will follow your teachings, Master! I will make the arrangements immediately!" Young Master Gao replied repeatedly, feeling a lingering sense of fear.

Tang Wan said no more, nodded slightly, and left the still somber Gao residence with Gao Wenyuan and the steward respectfully seeing her off.

She had no intention of delving into the infighting and secrets within the Gao family.

Upon returning to her residence in the prefectural capital, Tang Wan immediately set about business—the batch of pork she had just purchased.

She had previously asked several butchers to send several large pieces of high-quality pork hind leg and pork belly here.

Meanwhile, Er Ya was already busy fetching medicine and food from the space.

Tang Wan placed the pork next to the spiritual spring water in her space, mobilized her spiritual power, and used the spiritual spring water to carefully wash the pork leg and pork belly clean, removing the blood and fishy smell, just like washing poultry.

After cleaning, she put the pork into a specially made large earthenware jar, poured in spring water to soak it and remove the fishy smell, and then marinated it after a few hours.

After doing all that, she didn't stop; she had to go check on her land.

The first crop of wheat from the five acres of newly cultivated land in the space has already been stored, and the next crop planted is almost ripe.

The other grains that were already growing nearby were also ready for harvest.

Tang Wan quickly gathered all the grain.

After collecting the grain, I went to the warehouse to check what I had prepared for the War King.

Everything in the warehouse was neatly organized into categories, all managed by Er Ya. There were sections for grains, preserved meats, medicinal herbs, and spatial food.

Looking at the vast reserves before her, Tang Wan pondered, "Once this batch of wheat is harvested, this batch of pork and cured meat should be ready soon..." Tang Wan muttered to herself, "...then, it's time to set off."
