Chapter 70
Hua Jiunan kicked the Nine Orifices Jade back to Zhao Fei and turned to leave with Chen Daji and Hu Wa.
“Who wants your junk? I’m not a mugger!”
“As for these guys, they don’t have any broken bones. They’ll be fine after resting for half an hour!”
Once they were far away from Zhao Fei’s group, Chen Daji asked in a low voice, “Big Brother, was that thing Zhao Fei just pulled out a Nine Orifices Jade?”
“But why is he fine wearing it, while my dad gets hit with bad luck the moment he puts one on?”
“Is it because he’s fatter than my dad, so he’s more durable?”
Hua Jiunan nodded. “That was indeed one of the Nine Orifices Jade pieces. As for why Zhao Fei is fine wearing it, I don’t know either.”
Chen Daji suddenly thought of something interesting and continued, “Big Brother, where exactly was the jade Zhao Fei was wearing… plugged into?”
Hua Jiunan couldn’t help but laugh at the question.
“That piece is even more disgusting than your father’s. It was used to plug *that* orifice!”
Chen Daji burst into laughter.
“Holy crap! I wonder if that idiot Zhao Fei gives it a little kiss every day too!”
“Just thinking about it makes me want to puke!”
Hu Wa didn’t understand what a Nine Orifices Jade was, nor was he interested. What he was interested in was how Hua Jiunan had just made the “enemies” unable to move.
“Brother Jiunan, do you actually know Acupoint Sealing?”
“Can you teach me?”
Hearing this, Chen Daji’s interest was also piqued.
“Big Brother, I want to learn too!”
Hua Jiunan gave a bitter smile.
“I don’t know Acupoint Sealing.”
“What I did just now is called Golden Needle Acupuncture. It’s used for treating patients and saving lives.”
“Of course, it can also be used for self-defense in a pinch.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is!”
Chen Daji and Hu Wa both imagined themselves chasing people around with a needle to poke them, and their interest vanished instantly.
They weren’t Dongfang Bubai, after all…
“Then we’re not learning!”
When the three reached the entrance, they happened to run into Chen Fu, who had come to pick them up.
In Hua Jiunan’s eyes, the darkness on Chen Fu’s forehead had grown even thicker. In terms of physiognomy, this was called “Black Clouds Over the City”-it was a death omen!
This wouldn’t do. He had to find a way to save him quickly!
“Uncle Chen, have you been feeling unwell lately?”
Chen Fu answered while yawning, “I don’t know what’s wrong. Lately, I haven’t been eating or sleeping well. I always feel like my heart is racing with anxiety.”
While Hua Jiunan was pondering how to help Chen Fu, Chen Daji spoke up. “Dad, how’s it going at the ancient tomb? Have they dug it open yet?”
Chen Fu replied listlessly, “I don’t know the specifics. I haven’t gone back since you guys left. I heard from others that they haven’t started digging yet.”
“Oh, right. That young Taoist went to town to buy a lot of Cinnabar and Yellow Paper and such. He said he’s going to be Setting Up an Altar for Rituals.”
“It seems like the stuff in that ancient grave is pretty sinister!”
On the way back, Chen Fu bought many things for Deaf Granny as usual, filling the entire trunk with bags and boxes.
As soon as they entered the gate, they saw the old woman lying on a rattan chair by the pine tree, listening to the radio.
Chen Daji, ever the sweet-talker, immediately ran up and shouted, “Grandma, we’re back!”
After handing the items to Wang San, Chen Fu walked over to Deaf Granny with a smile. “Old Auntie, is your health holding up well?”
“I’ve come to visit you!”
Deaf Granny opened her eyes. When she saw Chen Fu’s face, a look of deep concern appeared on her features.
“I’m doing just fine, but you, boy, are in for a rough time!”
“The Divine Axe I gave you-did you not enshrine it at home?”
Chen Fu felt a chill run down his spine. “I did! Old Auntie, I enshrined it at home!”
“I burn incense and kowtow three times a day. I haven’t dared to forget!”
With Hua Jiunan’s help, Deaf Granny stood up and paced back and forth with her cane.
“How can this be? How can this be!”
“What kind of thing is so sinister that it refuses to let you go even with a Divine Axe guarding the house!”
Hua Jiunan explained the matter of the ancient tomb to Deaf Granny.
After listening, the old woman repeatedly exclaimed, “No wonder, no wonder!”
“So it’s something from over a thousand years ago. It might have already become a Big Zongzi!”
“Sigh, if it really is one of those things, it’ll be hard to deal with!”
“And those people… why must they insist on digging it up? Wouldn’t it be better to let it keep sleeping!”
Chen Fu looked like he was about to cry. “Old Auntie, what should I do? You have to find a way to save me!”
“Besides, I haven’t offended the thing in that tomb. Why won’t it let me go?”
Chen Daji also hurriedly chimed in, “Grandma, my dad is a good person. You can’t just leave him be!”
Deaf Granny affectionately patted Chen Daji’s head. “I know, I know. I’ve asked around. Your dad has built bridges and paved roads; he’s helped many people.”
“I won’t ignore him!”
After saying that, Deaf Granny shot an annoyed look at Chen Fu.
“And you dare say you haven’t offended it!”
“If someone were digging around on your roof every day, would you be happy?”
