After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 129

"It's terrible, it's really terrible!"

Bai Lu felt a ripple in the space, and then suddenly heard the voice of Master Qingxu beside him. He was extremely helpless: "Elder Xu, I have told you many times that mortals have their own destinies. It is unreasonable for you to interfere with the destinies of mortals like this!"

Grandpa Xu muttered, "But I can't just stand by and watch those young people in the prime of their lives turn into mincemeat in front of me! Do you know how difficult it is for a child to live to fifty?"

Master Qingxu was speechless for a moment. Yes, in their dynasty where the average lifespan was only thirty-five, living to fifty was indeed not easy!

But you're only forty-nine. It's not appropriate for you to call a fifty-year-old man your child!

Master Qingxu helplessly flicked his decorative whisk and sighed softly. Don't be fooled by the fact that this old man Xu looks amiable and easy to talk to. In fact, he is excessively stubborn. Otherwise, he would have sent them to be reincarnated long ago!

"Master, you've arrived."

Bai Lu nodded slightly to Master Qingxu, her gaze shifting between him and Old Master Xu.

She had just sent a WeChat message to Master Qingxu, asking him about Old Master Xu, but instead of replying, he came in person.

"Let me take a look."

Master Qingxu nodded to Bailu and smiled. His smiling eyes swept over Bailu and the other two. Bailu was his benefactor. Everything was resolved when she was involved. He hoped that this time would be the same!
So he came over without delay as soon as he saw the message!

His gaze finally settled on Old Master Xu. He stepped forward, his expression growing increasingly helpless: "Old Master Xu, I know the wishes of you soldiers, but interfering with the fate of mortals is ultimately inappropriate."

Grandpa Xu snorted, his face full of disapproval. "So, according to the Taoist priest, we should just stand by and watch those children go to their deaths?"

Master Qingxu sighed. He knew Old Master Xu was stubborn, but he also understood that these soldiers' wishes stemmed from their respect for life and their desire for peace.

“Elder Xu, we cultivators should follow the will of Heaven, rather than forcibly interfere.”

Master Qingxu's voice carried a hint of anger: "What did we say back then? Didn't we agree to just watch and not interfere? How did you do it? In the past six months, how many times have I told you this, and you've always ignored me? I thought you would eventually realize your mistakes, but what has happened?"

"We..." Old Master Xu's eyes darted around, looking somewhat guilty, but he quickly became resolute and said to Master Qingxu, "Master, you and I both know that this world has changed. Although we old bones are no longer alive, our responsibilities remain. We cannot stand idly by and watch human lives be taken. Let's void the agreement we drafted before!"

Master Qingxu: "..."

Even a lump of phlegm stuck in my throat doesn't feel as bad as this moment.

If it were just Old Master Xu and his ilk committing evil deeds, he would have given up and risked his life to beat them to a pulp. But they...

Master Qingxu gritted his teeth and looked at Bailu: "Little Lulu, what do you think?" Bailu, an observer suddenly being called upon, blinked. What could she possibly think? She wasn't Yuanfang...

But the old man Xu's casual attitude toward the human-ghost agreement still shocked her.

Violating the signed agreement, whether human or ghost, will be punished by the Heavenly Dao. However, judging from Master Qingxu's reaction, Old Master Xu must have violated it more than once, yet nothing happened to him. This is quite intriguing.

She looked up at the dark sky and slowly said to Grandpa Xu, "Humans and ghosts are different, and besides, you are a large group. It's not good for so many ghosts to linger in the human world! Maintaining the status quo has a limited impact on you, but it mainly affects ordinary people more!"

"Because of your presence, the magnetic field in this area has become disordered. In time, without your intervention, not only will drivers on this road be affected, but also nearby residents will be affected by you, and all sorts of bad things will happen."

Bai Lu spoke directly and without the concerns of Master Qingxu. Her words shattered Master Qingxu's attempt to cover up the truth and achieve a win-win situation. He knew that the matter of Old Master Xu had reached a point where it had to be dealt with. Even if they were unwilling, they had to be reincarnated!

Old Master Xu remained silent for a while. Before Master Qingxu could speak, he reached out and patted Master Qingxu's shoulder lightly. "Master, don't worry. Although we old bones are old, we are not so bad that we can't distinguish right from wrong. Now it is time for us to leave."

They originally intended to protect the peace of the region. If their existence harms the region, it goes against their original intention and should be corrected.

Master Qingxu stared wide-eyed in disbelief. How could he be so easily convinced?

What about his previous indecisiveness?
"You are a wise and righteous senior. On behalf of the people of this region, I thank you!"

Seeing that Master Qingxu was in a daze, Bailu stepped forward and said something.

Grandpa Xu chuckled and waved his hand, "It's all what we should do."

"If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can tell me, and I will do my best to help you fulfill them."

"wish?"

"It has nothing to do with either side; it only concerns my own wishes."

The egret also wanted to do something for them so that they could be reincarnated willingly and without any worries.

"My own wish?"

"Old Master Xu murmured."
