The baby with his eyes closed seemed to be simply asleep. He was dressed in clothes embroidered with golden copper coins. Strikingly, there was a dagger in his chest.
Master Wang couldn’t help but tremble. “Why hasn’t his body gone rotten after so many years?”
Madam Wang’s face also turned pale. “Didn’t the previous master say that his body will rot to fertilize the soil and protect the Wang family’s fortune forever? This, this…”
When they dug him up, he still looked like the day he was buried.
Liu Sanniang’s voice was calm as she instructed. “Pull out the dagger.”
Master Wang broke out in cold sweat. His teeth were chattering as he held the dagger.
At this moment, he recalled what the previous master had said back then. ‘No matter what, you can’t pull out the dagger and release him.’
Madam Wang also remembered it. Her expression changed drastically as she screamed. “No, don’t. She’s not here to help us at all. She’s here to harm us.”
Madam Wang pounced at Master Wang, wanting to stop him, but she was repelled by an invisible barrier.
Madam Wang shouted in panic. “Don’t listen to her. This is a trap. That bastard can’t hurt us at all. He only wants us to let him go. Don’t pull out the dagger. Otherwise, our family will be finished.”
Master Wang’s hands trembled. “I… I can’t control myself.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Master Wang with a cold gaze. “Pull out the dagger.”
Master Wang felt a force controlling his hand, making him grip the dagger tightly. His face was distorted. “No, I won’t pull it out.”
Madam Wang screamed frantically. “Guard, chase them out.”
Butler Wang immediately came over. “Master, Madam, I’m here to help you.”
The servants’ expressions instantly turned hostile. They did not expect that Liu Sanniang was not here to help at all but to release that thing. If the Wang family was gone, the servants would be the first to suffer.
Chu Yan broke Butler Wang’s wrist and took the stick from him. His attack was very fast and accurate. After the servants were hit, they rolled on the ground, unable to get up. Master Wang and Madam Wang’s eyes almost popped out.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “What right do you have to use his eternal life as a medium to bring prosperity for you to enjoy?”
Master Wang was sweating profusely. The desire for fame and fortune had made him crazy. He said ferociously, “My right as a father. This is what he was born for.”
Seeing that Master Wang’s hand was about to leave the dagger, Liu Sanniang stepped forward and grabbed his wrist. Her strength was like a dark cloud that enveloped and crushed him. She said, “Pull out the dagger.”
Master Wang felt that he could no longer control himself. He clenched the dagger and slowly pulled it out. His entire body was trembling and he was filled with regret.
If he had thought about it carefully, he would not have asked Liu Sanniang for help.
However, the few times he was on the verge of death in the recent past, made him panic. He began to wonder whether he would die if he did not do something. Therefore, he forgot what the previous master had once said. ‘No matter what, as long as he is restricted by the seal, he won’t be able to hurt you.’
When the dagger was pulled out, black smoke emerged and then dispersed to reveal Wang Peng.
Liu Sanniang retracted her hand and began to chant.
Wang Peng did not even look at the Wang family. He sat cross-legged and put his palms together. There was a smile on his demonic face. “Buddha is merciful.”
The sound of Liu Sanniang chanting scriptures made the Wang family members feel afraid. They did not know what the sound was. They vaguely saw a dazzling golden light spreading out from Liu Sanniang’s body. In the golden light, there was something black flying towards them, scaring them so much that they closed their eyes.
After a while, they opened their eyes. There was no golden light. Liu Sanniang’s expression was calm. Wang Peng sat there with his palms folded together. He opened his eyes and looked at Master Wang and Madam Wang with a smile.
Wang Peng’s figure became fainter and fainter. He opened his mouth and said softly, “Farewell…”
Before he could finish speaking, he disappeared completely.
Master Wang reached out his hand. He wanted to ask Liu Sanniang why she did this, but the pain made him wail. “What’s wrong with my hand? Why does it hurt so much? Ah…”
Madam Wang was not any better. Her stomach felt like it was being twisted by a knife. She opened her mouth, gasping as pain swept through her entire body.
Liu Sanniang stood up. Many servants in the mansion screamed too.
There was no emotion in Liu Sanniang’s eyes. She said flatly, “This is the pain he suffered for thousands of days and nights.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Wang and continued. “What you feel is what he used to go through.”
She had washed away his sins, but his soul was too weak. What would he reincarnate into?
‘A bird, a badger, a frog, or a caterpillar, I suppose.’
Master Wang felt that his legs were about to be crippled. It was so painful that he wanted to cut off his legs. He looked at Liu Sanniang with anger and resentment, but he begged in a low voice. “Miss Liu, let us go. You’ve already released him. We’ve repaid what we owe him.”
Liu Sanniang sneered. “Did you repay it already? If you did, you won’t hurt so much.”
Liu Sanniang walked out while Chu Yan walked beside her. The two of them walked further and further away until no one could see them.
The entire Wang mansion was shrouded in painful howls.
Liu Sanniang opened her palm. She was stronger.
However, she was not happy. Someone had deliberately planted an evil seed in the Wang family.
People were like containers filled with desires. They could not withstand temptation. Money and power were like evil hands luring people to come to them.
For money and power, they were willing to become slaves.
From what Liu Sanniang saw in Master Wang’s memory, there was a blurry figure. At that time, the Wang family only owned a small jewelry shop. When Madam Wang gave birth to a son, a person dressed in rags came to them, begging for a bite of food.
After he had received the food, he said, “If you want to get rich, I can help you. After you become rich, just give me a bowl of rice.”
Master Wang had replied sarcastically. “Look at how poor you are. If you really knew how to get rich, why would you still beg for a bowl of rice?”
