Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 797: 797
"What is the price we pay, Dr. Tang?" ma Chengye asked without hesitation.
"In the next five years, the Ma Family will not have a single member born; 10 babies under 3 years will have a heart pattern on their glabella, she said, and will share the good fortune of the Ma Family, but only one of them will survive. Your Ma family will need to collect magical tools with metal, wood, water, fire, and earth elements respectively to revitalize and accumulate good fortune over the course of 5 years, and lastly, to, one family member would have his life reduced by 10 years to continue praying for blessings, "tang Xiu said lightly.
"Minesis…"
Ma Jianpeng and Ma Chenyu, as well as the other four Ma Family elders, gasped at the same time, looking at Tang Xiu with shocked expressions.
Isn't this price ... too terrible?
"It's not that you won't benefit at all if you choose this option," Tang Xiu said flatly. "The surviving child will at least be the hope of the Ma Family in the future. As long as there is no evil Feng Shui expert to destroy your family's Feng Shui structure, he can lead the Ma Family to go further, become stronger, and become more prosperous. "
Ma Jianfeng was silent for a long time before he said with a sour and bitter expression, "It has a great influence for the family, so I need to discuss it with the senior member of the family, Divine Doctor Tang."
"He can only last up to half a month." Tang Xiu pointed to the old man on the bed and clearly said, "If you haven't made up your mind at that time, then not only will he die, but he will, but your family will also decline until your generation bequeaths its authority. Also, I will return to Shanghai quickly and will leave Shanghai tomorrow to manage some important matters for an unknown time. So, please discuss it only until this afternoon. "
Just till this afternoon?
All the members of the Ma Family's expressions changed, and they quickly exchanged glances. Then, Ma Jianfeng solemnly said, "Can you diagnose my father as well, Dr. Tang?"
Tang Xiu nodded and went to bed. He took the old man's wrist and checked his pulse to diagnose his physical condition, which was no different from his own assessment. When he left the room and came to the first floor, he said, "Give me a quiet room; I need to draw something."
"There's my father's study at the end of the corridor to the left," Ma Jianfeng said immediately.
Tang Xiu nodded and followed her into the study. As he walked in, he scanned the antique workroom before his eyes landed on the writing brush, ink stick, ink stone, and paper on the table. In this era, only a few people still had this so-called "scientific quadruple eye" while the walls around the room were practically full of calligraphy, he said, and paintings of ancient and modern calligraphers and painters. Living in this place will make people feel able to appreciate the culture of Confucianism and Taoism.
"Is there anything else you need, Dr. Tang?" asked Ma Jianfeng.
"Cinnabar ink and yellow paper. If you are determined to save your father, I will need 10 uncut jades" Tang Xiu said.
"I will immediately order my people to find them," Ma Jianfeng said in a heavy voice. "Also, I should discuss this matter with the rest of the family, so I can't accompany you here."
"Continue!" Tang Xiu waved and said, "Just pass by, send someone to deliver food here."
Ma Jianfeng was stunned, as he suddenly remembered that it was already noon and Tang Xiu had not eaten yet! A smile then appeared on his serious face as he agreed to the request and then left with the other members of the Ma Family.
Mo Awu stood in front of the table when he saw Ma Jianfeng closing the door from the outside. After which, he asked in a low voice, "Are you perhaps preparing a butcher knife to cut him down, Boss?"
"The Ma family has far more wealth than they need, don't you think?" tang Xiu asked back with his mouth curled; a faint smile. "You also know that I am kind and generous, so I will help them spend some money or share some other possessions. Well, you know, that kind of good deed …"
"…"
Mo Awu felt his heart twitch and could not say anything staring at Tang Xiu.
He followed Tang Xiu not for just a day or two. He saw his actions so many times that the means his Boss had for slaughtering others made him slightly shudder.
Soon after, fragrant food was delivered as Tang Xiu and Mo Awu ate and drank. The Ma family then sent the cinnabar ink and 10 fine jade pieces. After sending them outside, Tang Xiu immediately started drawing symbol charms and making some magic tools.
At dusk, Ma Jianfeng came to the study room where Tang Xiu was staying, a gloomy expression on his face. This time, he was only accompanied by his second uncle, Ma Chengye.
Seeing their expressions, Tang Xiu instantly knew what options they had taken. He sighed silently inside, yet spoke with an indifferent expression, "Since you have decided to hand over the old patriarch Ma, then there is no need for me to do anything else. I myself have just made a good spell and magic tool., but since you do not need it, then I will only charge the service fee according to the market price. "
Ma Jianfeng took a deep breath first before replying with a serious expression, "It seems like you've guessed the result, Divine Doctor Tang. I really wanted to save my dad. But I really can't do anything. The Ma family has many members but for the whole family to have no offspring in the next 5 years as well as 10 children … "
"I understand your predicament," Tang Xiu raised his hand to cut it off and calmly said, "Alright, I'll go first. Also, someone will send you money for cinnabar ink and jade pieces tomorrow, naturally."
"But Dr. Tang, does ... do you have the means to temporarily preserve my father's life?" ma Jianfeng said quickly. "Just 10 months is enough."
Ma Jianfeng steeled his heart and gritted his teeth. "The Ma family will have many new members who are 10 months old. As long as we have more than 10 new people at that time, we will choose to save my father."
Tang Xiu squinted his eyes to carefully observe his face a few times, and then said lightly, "I have a way to make your father live for a year and a half, but you have to pay a lot of money. May I ask how much price can the Ma Family pay more? "
"What do you offer us to pay, exactly?" asked Ma Jianfeng.
Tang Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "I can double the time for him to live for a price."
Sizzling…
Ma Jianfeng and Ma Chengye gasped and exchanged glances, while secretly calculating a price comparable to the age Tang Xiu had to pay.
After quite some time, Ma Jianfeng said in a deep voice, "Don't hesitate to say your request, Sacred Physician Tang. Our Ma family will do everything in our power, as long as it is within our means."
"Oil. At least 10 pieces of precious ore were the size of a fist; plus 1 billion yuan," Tang Xiu said lightly. "Of course, if your family has some weird stuff that interests me, there's no need for those 1 billion."
Ma Jianfeng thought about it for a moment and replied straightforwardly, "10 precious ores and 1 billion yuan, please. Give us some time tonight, and we guarantee that they'll be in your hands before 12pm tonight."
"Good!" tang Xiu's. He then came straight to the room on the second floor where the old patriarch Ma lived. Ma Jianfeng and the others wanted to follow him, but Tang Xiu stopped them. After entering the room, he took out the Sacred Healing medicine and broke up half of it and stuffed it into the mouth of old patriarch Ma, then he walked to the side and sat down cross-legged.
Half a Holy Healing medicinal pill was enough to greatly increase the life force of the old patriarch Ma. Moreover, as long as this old man moved out of this building, it would not be a problem for him to live for another year.
Time went on and three hours passed. Tang Xiu controlled his blood and Qi deliberately made his face look pale and sweat appeared on his forehead. He looked at old ancestor Ma, who was breathing smoothly on the bed before he exited the room.
"Heavenly Doctor Tang, are you ... Are you okay?"
Upon seeing Tang Xiu's appearance, Ma Jianfeng's heart pounded and he hurriedly asked.
"It's okay. I'm fine." Tang Xiu struggled to bring out a smile and said, "Just that I should take out my qi and life force and inject it into the body of the old patriarch Ma, thus spending a large part of myself with energy. Your father will be fine for now. As long as you move him out of this attic and send someone else to stay here, he won't have any problems. "
"Moving my father to live elsewhere is not a problem" Ma Jianfeng said. "But why should we send someone else to stay here?"
"The human body itself is just the beginning of the Feng Shui diagram, and only a few talented people can continue to receive the power of fate and destiny to ensure the Ma Family will continue to be blessed with good luck" he explained. Tang Xiu's. "Otherwise, this Feng Shui structure of your family will not only benefit you, but it can also make your family decline quickly. However, prosperity was always bound to decline as a result of the Heavenly Dao cycle."
Ma Jianfeng instantly regained his senses but he still asked, "Will the new person face the same situation as my father?"
"Living here for a year and a half won't have any losses but will gain benefits instead," Tang Xiu shook his head and said, "As for the type of benefits, you'll find out later."
"Then I will immediately send someone else to move here as soon as I move my father," Ma Jianfeng replied immediately. "Can you go and stay in my father's study and stay there for a while, Dr. The tang? I have to hurry, but I'll come soon when I'm done. You will have 10 pieces of precious ore and 1 billion yuan, as promised, at that time. "
"Good!"
Tang Xiu was naturally unwilling to leave the attic immediately because he had only absorbed less than a tenth of the power of fate and destiny here, even though he tried his best to absorb it throughout the day and night. If not for him having to do something tomorrow, he would have tried to stay here until he had completely absorbed all the power of fate and destiny in this place.
It should be noted that the power of fate and destiny in this place was different from that contained in Emperor Jade Seal's treasure of Emperor Qin. The power of fate and destiny here was extremely gentle and did not go crazy when he tried to absorb it into his body, whereas the one contained within the Imperial Jade Seal belonging to Emperor Qin was extremely large, and it flowed directly into his body. He almost blew himself up and was about to die as he tried to absorb it.
The Ma family did have a good prestige and reputation. After waiting for half an hour, Ma Jianfeng rushed back. He ordered the 5 burly men to place 10 precious ores in five trays on the table in front of Tang Xiu. He then waved, gestured for the men to leave and immediately pulled out a bank card, saying, "Divine Doctor Tang, please, this bank card has 1 billion yuan and the PIN is written on the back. Also, please rate these 10 precious ores as well. If any of these precious ores don't interest you, I'll send my men to exchange them. "
Tang Xiu kept the bank card in his pocket and grabbed to lift the yellow cloth on the tray. Just when he looked down, the black stone was the first thing he saw.
'This is…'
Tang Xiu's heart was pounding as disbelief flashed in his eyes.
