The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 50: Kill the medium to shorten life and prolong life

A string of round eighteen-bead pendants fell at Lang Jiuchuan's feet. She bent down and picked it up. The object, which should have been warm, was now completely black, and the surface that was invisible to the naked eye was covered with a layer of black and red evil energy.

"How could it turn out like this?" Shen Qinghe was shocked.

Shen Peng's face turned pale as well. This string of eighteen beads was made by him personally using the finest small-leaf red sandalwood, and was polished and carved as a birthday gift for his father. Each bead was engraved with a continuous pattern of Chinese characters, or the characters for fortune, wealth and longevity, which were his blessings to his father.

It was originally warm, but now it has completely changed, becoming dark and disgusting.

The evil aura was thick, like a sticky and disgusting blood paste. Lang Jiuchuan saw one of the beads that was emitting blood. The faint blood aura split into several strands, connecting to Shen Qinghe and Shen Peng respectively.

It's the bond of blood relationship.

"That's it." Lang Jiuchuan looked at the evil spirit that was trying to drill into his hand, his eyes were cold, and he flipped his right hand, and the judge's pen appeared in his hand, and he gently knocked it on the string of eighteen beads.

A deep humming sound was heard.

The divine power is awe-inspiring.

The evil spirit seemed to have met its nemesis. It quickly retreated and dissipated in mid-air.

pat.

The eighteen seeds faded from black and red, returning to their previous appearance, but now they were dull and lifeless. Suddenly, each seed stretched open, fell to the ground, and broke into two pieces.

Shen Qinghe hugged Mrs. Shen and took two steps back, breathing lightly.

Mrs. Shen's face was pale. She swallowed and looked at Lang Jiuchuan tremblingly. She opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to be strangled and she couldn't say anything.

Lang Jiuchuan clapped her hands, looked down at the wood chips on the ground, kicked them away with disgust, looked up, and saw the family of three looking at her as if they had seen a ghost, and pursed her lips: "I won't compensate."

Shen Qinghe and others: "?"

Lang Jiuchuan kicked the broken wood away and said, "This string of eighteen beads is already tainted with evil spirits. If I don't destroy the evil spirit, it will sooner or later become a Yin evil magic weapon and will harm more people. Now that it is broken, I wish you peace for the rest of your life." She looked at Shen Peng and said, "You, grind another string and give it to your father later."

Shen Peng nodded subconsciously.

Mrs. Shen understood what was meant and said happily, "Miss, does what you said mean that my son is fine?"

"It's not that simple. You've paid ten years of your precious life for it." Lang Jiuchuan said, "Abolishing these eighteen sons is just to cut off the medium so that he won't decay faster. Otherwise, its existence will affect his character. The next step will not be to beat himself, but to kill him with a sword."

The Shen family: "..."

"The medium has been removed, but the evil that has stained him has not been removed. It has already penetrated into his bones. If the evil is not completely exorcised, once the blessings of his parents' merits and virtues no longer have any effect, he will die."

Madam Shen pushed Shen Qinghe away and knelt down in front of Lang Jiuchuan: "Miss Jiu, I beg you to save my son. I am willing to sacrifice for ten, twenty, or thirty years."

"Mom." Shen Peng's eyes turned red and he felt heartbroken.

Shen Qinghe couldn't believe it, so he pulled Madam Shen aside and asked, "What do you mean by ten years of life? What does that mean?"

"I once made a wish in front of the Buddha that as long as Peng'er gets better, I am willing to shorten my life by ten years." Mrs. Shen said while choking up.

"You..." Shen Qinghe, a man who was usually dignified and upright, also had red eyes and said, "You are not needed. Use mine."

"How can I give in? I have already made a great wish in front of the Buddha." Madam Shen said angrily, "In front of the Buddha, it is not okay to be dishonest and not keep your word."

“Lu, I am the head of the family!”

"I am his mother, and mother and son are connected by heart."

Lang Jiuchuan saw that they were about to argue and said, "Okay, I only want Mrs. Shen's, not yours." Shen Qinghe frowned.

Shen Peng coughed and said, "Ninth Miss, you may exchange the rest. I can exchange my own life. If ten years is not enough, thirty will be fine, but I don't want to shorten my mother's life."

"Your father is no match for you, and you are even less so. You are the only one who can rely on your parents for protection. You have nothing. Fate? It's not as precious as your mother's!"

Shen Peng's face turned red and his eyes were full of resentment.

Mrs. Shen knew that these words were meant as a compliment to her, but why did it sound so stingy?
But she didn't dare to say anything.

Lang Jiuchuan's repeated actions opened her eyes. Although the man in front of her looked weak, he was a real capable person.

The long-held thought finally came out, "I told you it's worth saving. Look at this family, how touching."

Lang Jiuchuan pressed it back.

Long-winded.

Madam Shen said, "Miss Nine, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to kneel down in front of the Buddha and make a wish?"

"Think it through. If your life span is reduced by ten years, even if you originally had sixty years to live, it will be gone." Lang Jiuchuan looked at her and said, "After this ritual, you may be sick for three months. As you said, you can't regret it. Well, it's useless to regret it. The cause and effect have been determined since the moment you made the decision."

"I am willing."

"Yunniang, we can think of other ways..." Shen Qinghe's face was full of disapproval.

"Get out of here and wait outside." Madam Shen pushed him away and suddenly raised three fingers to swear, "Ninth Miss, if I, Lu Yun, regret it later, I will die a miserable death and will never be reborn."

"mother!"

"Yunniang!"

The father and son both looked pale.

Lang Jiuchuan nodded and gave instructions one by one: "Then go get some cinnabar, and a pinch of Buddha ash, um, incense ash, and some lamp oil and wicks..."

"You go in person." Mrs. Shen instructed Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe looked at her steadily for a long while, then turned around. His back seemed to be hunched, not as straight as before. When his figure disappeared, several people heard a crisp sound of slapping.

Mrs. Shen looked worriedly in the direction where Shen Qinghe disappeared, tears in her eyes, but she bit her lip and did not follow him out.

Shen Peng clenched his fists tightly. For the first time, he felt so useless. He looked at Mrs. Shen's haggard and aged face, as if she had grown up all of a sudden.

Jiang Che squatted on Lang Jiuchuan's shoulder, sobbing and wiping away crocodile tears. It was touching, so touching.

It turned its head to look at Lang Jiuchuan, but her expression did not fluctuate at all. Not to mention being moved, there was not even a hint of redness at the corners of her eyes.

"You are so heartless and cold."

Lang Jiuchuan communicated with it in the spirit platform and said, "Too much emotion will only hinder my steps. Their deep affection is their luck and blessing. I will not let it go in vain. My first task is to revive this body."

This sounded reasonable, but it made him feel a little cold and hard. He snorted and said, "I'll wait and see what happens in the future."

Lang Jiuchuan didn't say anything, but just came to the table, spread out the talisman she had taken from the bedside before, smoothed it out, and carved on it with her fingertips.

The talisman is a good one, but it does not have enough spiritual power. She has to give it more spirit and make it a real talisman that can drive away evil spirits. This will require her to expend her mental energy and cultivation.

They exchanged ten years of life for one life. Did they make a good deal?
