Chapter 14 Human Skin Lantern (Part Two)

It quickly lay flat again and became still.

The old man witnessed this scene. He was surprised that the little beggar who had been following him for several days was so talented. So he tricked the two siblings and took them back to the mountains.

Su Yixuan still remembers the day she became an apprentice. The old man threw a book at her: "Now that you've joined my sect, I can't just leave you with nothing. This is a secret manual passed down through countless generations, but it's almost lost in my generation. I only passed it on to you because I saw you had some talent. Figure it out yourself, and feel free to train the mountain spirits and vengeful ghosts on the back mountain! If you ever become successful, you'll at least regain some face when you see your grandmaster and the others!"

Her words filled her with excitement, and she had a feeling that she was about to become rich overnight.

However, the old man immediately poured cold water on you: "But remember, you are destined to be poor. You must never have any money in your hands, otherwise it will bring misfortune to your family! Although I am not very skilled, I will not be wrong about you! Remember this!"

Su Yixuan was bewildered, clutching the book of scribbled symbols that didn't even have a cover.

Mo Lijiu couldn't help but glance at the composed Su Yixuan in the rearview mirror, and surprisingly, she didn't doubt her words: "Drawing talismans is difficult, isn't it? And it's very expensive. The best cinnabar talisman paper and wolf hair brushes are not cheap."

"Indeed, so I'm working hard to earn money to buy some belongings, and thankfully I haven't encountered any difficult cases yet."

"You can sign this agreement and make as much as you want for fifty million. Besides that, you can bring any other items you want, such as ritual objects, antiques, jade, etc. How about it? Do you want to seriously consider it?"

"We're not a good match!"

"What's wrong with it?"

"I'm a jinx!"

"The master just said that I have too much malevolent energy and will bring misfortune to my wife. We can fight poison with poison and live to be a hundred years old. It's settled then!"

"."

Your bad luck is real, but my poverty and widowhood are things from my past life.

Soon the two arrived at an urban village.

Everywhere you look, there are low-rise buildings with large areas of peeling paint, revealing the black and gray plastered walls underneath. Wild green plants climb haphazardly over the walls, and the alleyways are long and narrow.

Following the house number Liu Daniu gave her, Su Yixuan finally spotted Liu Daniu peeking out from the doorway of a small house at the corner.

"Ancestor, you've finally arrived!"

Su Yixuan interrupted, "Don't try to establish connections, I'm still young!"

"..."

Liu Daniu, who was anxious and agitated, was quite speechless.

Su Yixuan didn't stand on ceremony and stepped through the door, but quickly retreated.

"What's in it for me to help you solve your problem?"

Liu Daniu, who was about to enter, almost bumped into something, but Mo Lijiu pulled him back.

Without turning his head, Liu Daniu said, "Thank you!"

He then cautiously looked at Su Yixuan and asked, "What do you want? First of all, let me make it clear that my family has no money!"

"Am I such a materialistic woman?"

Liu Daniu couldn't help but mutter, "If it's not materialistic, why bring up benefits!"

"that!"

Su Yixuan pointed to a palm-sized octagonal palace lantern hanging on a cherry tree not far away. It looked like it was made of paper, but the patterns around it seemed to have been deliberately aged, giving it a rustic feel.

"Give me that little lantern!"

Before Liu Daniu could speak, a bruised and swollen young man walked out of the living room, his tone very unfriendly: "I picked this up, so it's mine. Who dares to touch it!"

Where did you find it?

"Who do you think you are! Asking all sorts of questions at other people's houses, are you sick in the head?" Liu Daniu slapped his grandson Liu Xiaoqiang on the head: "You brat, shut up! This is the master I invited to solve our problems, you deserve a beating for being so disrespectful!"

"Master?" Liu Xiaoqiang curled his lip: "If a brat who didn't even finish junior high school dares to call herself a master, then I am Buddha."

"Looks like your school bully isn't very strong. Look at the bruise on his left eye; it's different sizes from his right. Doesn't that affect his appearance? And that bandage shouldn't be wrapped around his arm; it should be wrapped around his mouth. Otherwise, next time it won't just be a broken arm!"

"Stinky girl, you're looking for death!"

Liu Xiaoqiang roared and threw a punch, while Su Yixuan curled her lips in contempt.

Just as he was about to retaliate, his punch was intercepted halfway.

Su Yixuan turned around in confusion, looking at Mo Lijiu with surprise: "I didn't realize you had such strength!"

Mo Lijiu easily pushed away the angry Liu Xiaoqiang and cracked her knuckles: "I've practiced a little!"

Su Yixuan glanced at Liu Xiaoqiang with schadenfreude: "Not very capable, but number one at causing trouble."

"you……"

Having personally experienced Mo Lijiu's strength, Liu Xiaoqiang remained somewhat rational and did not continue to attack.

Liu Daniu had almost pulled out all of his sparse white hairs, and he grabbed Liu Xiaoqiang's ear, yelling, "Get the hell out of here!"

"Ignorance is bliss, Lao Liu. You need to teach him to be afraid before he'll learn his lesson!"

Liu Daniu hesitated, "Wouldn't this be dangerous?"

Liu Xiaoqiang retorted, "What danger could there be? I'm not leaving. I will expose her true colors and then call the police."

"Great idea!" Su Yixuan clapped her hands in agreement: "If you're in trouble, calling the police is always the right thing to do! Don't fight with people in private anymore, you can't win, and you'll only embarrass your grandfather."

Liu Xiaoqiang: "."

Liu Daniu: "."

While working overtime at the police station, Su Shaoan suddenly sneezed. Policewoman Lin Lin asked with a smile, "Captain Su, who's missing you again?"

Su Shaoan quickly took out his phone and opened the live streaming app. Fortunately, Xuanxuan wasn't live streaming, so he should be able to get off his early shift tonight.

I just put my phone down when I received a message.

Ajiu: Shaoan, I really envy you for having such a good younger sister who never forgets to help you with your work.

Shao'an: ? ? ?
Ajiu: Keep it up, and strive to get promoted as soon as possible!
Shao'an:
"Master Su, fighting is a minor matter. Could you first take a look and see if the recent bad luck in my family is because someone has been using our luck?"

Su Yixuan looked at Liu Daniu with suspicion: "Did you ask this question from the bottom of your heart?"

"Well, our family's fortune is indeed not worth other people's time to worry about, but there are many families with even worse fortune than ours. It's not impossible that they might envy our family's health and safety."

“That makes sense, but it’s obviously not about taking advantage of luck, since nothing happened to you.”

Liu Daniu's forehead creased with three black lines: He just couldn't believe this wasn't a nice thing to say!
Su Yixuan pointed to the small, exquisite octagonal palace lantern on the treetop: "When was this thing hung up?"

Liu Xiaoqiang, like a protective mother hen, spread his arms to block the tree: "If you dare to covet my things again, I'll beat you up!"

Su Yixuan completely ignored it.

Liu Daniu actually thought about it carefully: "It was around the end of March. I remember that day the child came back with a bruised and swollen face, carrying a lantern, saying that he found it on the road. He even got into a fight with the other children because they were trying to take it from him."

"And then, did he go completely out of control and start fighting all the time?"

"It seems, it seems so, and people have become irritable and out of control."

Su Yixuan spread her hands: "See, you already know the reason, so why are you still looking for me?"

　I desperately need data to raise this level!
