Chapter 1661: My Taoism Skills Are Too Shallow
Yang Yuhui seriously contemplated the specious words that the Daoist priest found by Fang Menghan told him.
Most of the people in the entertainment industry believed in destiny to a certain extent. Some people would become extremely popular, while others wouldn’t be able to make a name for themselves even when they died.
Yang Yuhui had been in the entertainment industry for most of his life. He had even seen some stars sacrifice babies and practice witchcraft in order to become popular.
Yang Yuhui didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if there were a pair of eyes looking at him from a place he couldn’t see.
Yang Yuhui’s emotions were in turmoil. The reason that everything was going wrong for him might really be due to some kind of an evil influence.
“Daoist priest, what should we do? Can you remove the thing that is entangled with Senior Brother?” asked Fang Menghan anxiously.
The Daoist priest shook his head, “My Taoism skills are too shallow, and this thing is too powerful. I can’t beat it. If I do, I might even anger him and put everyone in danger.”
“I’m leaving now.” The Daoist priest left in a hurry, as if he was running for his life.
Yang Yuhui was panicking internally. As he looked at Fang Menghan, his mouth became crooked and drool flowed out.
Fang Menghan wiped the corners of his mouth with the handkerchief, and said with a fearful expression, “Senior Brother really is being followed by a harmful presence. What do we do now?”
“Go find… that Daoist priest,” said Yang Yuhui with difficulty.
Fang Menghan shook her head, “That Daoist priest won’t leave the mountain easily. I’ll call my parents and ask them to persuade him.”
Yang Yuhui nodded quickly.
Ning Shu just watched indifferently as these events unfolded. If Yang Yuhui really was cheated out of his money by Fang Menghan, his luck would decrease even more.
Fang Menghan didn’t actually bring over a highly skilled Daoist priest from her hometown. That fake Daoist priest had repeatedly refused showily, saying that he didn’t want to mess with karma, especially since the evil presence around Yang Yuhui was just too powerful…
They just wanted to strike fear in Yang Yuhui’s heart.
Yang Yuhui had tried to invite the priest over several times and this matter had been brought up again and again, so the impression it left on his heart got deeper every time. This was especially so because everyone else seemed very scared as well. After a while, even Yang Yuhui himself would believe it to be real.
Moreover, its importance would magnify infinitely in his heart. When Yang Yuhui recalled how during this period of time, everything really had gone wrong, he felt even more strongly that there was something following him.
Yang Yuhui couldn’t eat or sleep. No matter how strongly Fang Menghan tried to persuade the Daoist priest to come down the mountain, the Daoist priest simply refused.
Yang Yuhui said without hesitation, “N-no matter what his conditions are… I’ll agree to them all.”
Fang Menghan told Yang Yuhui, “How about I personally go and ask the Daoist priest to come over? Asking through the phone isn’t sincere enough.”
Yang Yuhui was now eager to change his current passive situation, so naturally, he agreed with Fang Menghan’s words.
Fang Menghan packed her luggage, bought a ticket that same day, and left. After a few days, she returned, followed by an old Daoist man with a head full of silver hair and a beard that grew down to his chest.
He had a bit of an immortal aura about him.
Since the hospital forbade such practices, Yang Yuhui could only discharge himself from the hospital and go back to his place.
The old Daoist priest inspected the house where Yang Yuhui lived. He said that the feng shui of this house was not good. The White Tiger’s presence was too fierce, and combined with the overflowing amount of Yang energy, the house was flooded with light, which would make it hard for those living in the house to control their tempers.
In any case, he spewed a bunch of specialized terminology, causing Yang Yuhui to fall into a daze. Fang Menghan quickly asked, “Then what should we do now, priest?”
“It’s better not to live in this house. Pick another apartment to live in,” said the Daoist priest, stroking his gray beard.
