Chapter 72: Crossing or Not
When Sun Xianniang heard this, her body softened and she fell to the ground. She looked up at her confused daughter blankly and burst into tears, "My little girl..."
Old Mrs. Sun was also panicked, but she was now blindly confident in Pan Yun. She felt that if she could make them see the souls of the dead, what else in this world could she not do?
So she also knelt down and said, "Little Immortal, please be kind and save my granddaughter."
Pan Yun held her up, and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't kneel down.
When Mrs. Sun saw this, she became even more convinced. She knelt down hard and kowtowed to her.
Pan Yun stopped her and sighed, "I have a connection with the good old man, but I am not very powerful and can't do anything. However, my senior brother and third senior brother are very powerful and may be able to help."
When Old Lady Sun heard this, she immediately asked someone to invite Wang Feiyin and Tao Ji.
At that time, the separation between men and women was very strict. Pan Yun was a young girl and had no scruples about entering and leaving the rear house, but Wang Feiyin and Tao Ji were men after all, so even they were Taoists, so they were not allowed to do so.
When the news reached Sun Dachang, the fate that Pan Yun had predicted for Sun Huiniang and Sun Xianniang was spread out.
Sun Dachang was very unhappy. "The funeral will be held tomorrow. Why is mother making a fuss at this time? Are the two daughters more important, or are the descendants of my Sun family more important?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on the left side of his neck. He couldn't help but touch his left neck, remembering that his father had always liked Hui Niang more. His face froze, and after a pause, he said, "I see. Please ask Taoist Wang and Taoist Tao to go and take a look."
He called his two brothers-in-law and asked them to invite Wang Feiyin and Tao Ji to the backyard.
Tian Xu and Zhou Chao looked at each other. They were not present when the coffin was divided that day.
Although they wanted to come in, their wives were married and their father-in-law had passed away, so it would be inappropriate for them to come back to divide the property. If they were also present, it would not look good if it got out.
So they were not at the scene at that time, but they heard his wife's detailed description afterwards. They all knew that their father-in-law appeared in spirit that day, and everyone in the mourning hall saw the spirit of his father-in-law.
Although the wife spoke with great confidence, both of them were skeptical.
Hearing what was coming out of the backyard, they became even more suspicious, especially Tian Xu, who sneered, "What do you mean by good fortune for a prosperous husband? I think it's just those Taoists playing tricks."
Zhou Chao didn't say anything. He was still worried about his daughter, so he hurried to ask Wang Feiyin and Tao Ji for help.
As the four of them entered the room, Pan Yun saw Master Sun following behind Tian Xu, jumping up and kicking him from time to time, swearing.
When the man and the ghost made eye contact, Master Sun immediately ran up to her and said, "Little Immortal, let my eldest son-in-law see me. I'll scare him to death!"
Pan Yun said, "Master Sun, you will go to the underworld tomorrow, why bother with him?"
"No, let him see me and I'll give you money!"
Pan Yun: "Alas, I know, Master Sun, you have a kind heart."
Then he looked at Tian Xu and said, "Mr. Tian, Mr. Sun wants to meet you and reminisce about the past."
As soon as Tian Xu entered the room, he saw her talking to the void, as if there were questions and answers, as if there was really someone in the void. He couldn't help but sneer, "You are so young and you are pretending to be a ghost and cheating people out of money. It's okay for you to cheat ignorant women and children, but you also want to cheat me? I am..."
Pan Yun was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and directly drew a talisman and injected it into his forehead. When he looked through his third eye, he saw that Tian Xu suddenly came face to face with his father-in-law.
"Ah——" Tian Xu's eyes widened and he flew backwards. Because he was too panicked, he rolled on the ground twice before he stabilized.
He sat up and saw his father-in-law walking towards him with a sullen face. He stepped back in panic, "You, you, you..."
"You, you, you, what do you mean by you? You are an unfilial person. I am your father-in-law, and you can't even call me dad?"
Tian Xu's legs were shaking, and he had no strength left in his body. He just knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Dad, father-in-law, father-in-law, father-in-law..."
Master Sun snorted and said, "Be more polite to the little fairy master in the future."
"Yes, yes, I'm polite. I will definitely be polite."
Tian Xu immediately turned around and kowtowed to Pan Yun, "Little Immortal Master, please spare my life, Little Immortal Master, please spare my life. I was blind and didn't know you were really capable."
Pan Jun waved her hand to indicate that she didn't mind, since she had already received the money.
She smiled and looked at Zhou Chao who was standing there in a daze, "Mr. Zhou, would you like to meet your father-in-law?"
Zhou Chao hesitated for a moment and then nodded. He also wanted to see whether they had real skills or were just faking it.
Pan Yun said to Master Sun, who was hesitant to speak, "This is free. I don't charge any money."
Mr. Sun remained silent.
Pan Yun also cast a talisman on Zhou Chao.
Zhou Chao had prepared himself mentally, but he was still shocked when he saw Master Sun.
After taking two steps back, he reacted and bowed quickly, "My son-in-law greets my father-in-law."
Mr. Sun was quite satisfied with this son-in-law. He nodded seriously and said, "Let's go see Mei Niang first."
Zhou Chao came back to his senses and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, where's Nannan? Hurry and bring Nannan here."
Sun Xianniang cried and held her daughter up, "The Little Immortal Master said she can't see it, so we can only ask the Little Immortal Master's two senior brothers for help."
Sun Xianniang knelt down in front of Wang Feiyin and Tao Ji while holding the child, "Please save my life, two immortal masters." Tao Ji's face-reading skills were average, but he knew medical skills. He could tell at a glance that the child was not well. He looked around and said, "Put the child on the table and let me take a look."
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Tao Ji was about to examine her carefully, but Wang Feiyin reached out to stop him and directly picked up her little feet to look at them.
Tao Ji took a closer look and realized that the shoes were not right, and his face changed slightly.
Wang Feiyin took off his shoes and gently pressed the child's entangled feet. The child began to sob, tears falling one by one, but he did not dare to cry out in pain.
Wang Feiyin sighed and untied the gauze while saying, "These feet are broken."
Sun Xianniang said anxiously, "How could it be broken? Our family specially hired the best local foot-binding lady. She binds the best feet. Few people fail because of her hands."
Zhou Chao also echoed, "Yes."
Wang Feiyin smiled faintly, quickly glanced at Pan Yun, whose eyes were cold, and said before she could speak: "Two good people, good fortune is born, and it is naturally hidden in the body. If you break her leg, you will break her fortune, and also the fortune of your entire family."
Wang Feiyin shook his head and sighed, "She was originally destined to have a long and blessed life, but now because of foot binding, her good fortune has been lost, and she is doomed to die young."
Sun Xianniang fell to the ground, and Zhou Chao bowed quickly, "My Lord, please save my daughter."
Wang Feiyin took a long time to untie the cloth strips. He pinched the child's foot bones. The bones were broken, bent downward with force, compressed, and then wrapped with cloth strips so that they could not grow back.
There was a flash of pity in his eyes, knowing that it would be excruciatingly painful if he pressed her at this moment, but in order to cure her, the bone had to be straightened.
Her feet are now swollen as hell, and it is obvious that the bones and flesh in her feet have been damaged.
Whether removing the rotten flesh and bad bones first, or straightening the bones, it is extremely painful. The child is so young that his heart may not be able to bear the pain and he will die from the pain.
Wang Feiyin looked up at the little girl. Her eyes were full of tears. She was looking at him timidly with a light and innocence in her eyes.
Pan Yun squeezed up, squatted beside him and asked, "Big Brother, is there any solution?"
Wang Feiyin glanced at her and said, "Try it."
He reached out and touched the child's head, and said with a gentle smile: "Since God allowed you two to meet, he should be willing to give you a little more chance to live."
He turned to Zhou Chao and said, "Let Mr. Zhou know that I can't guarantee that I can help her get through this disaster. If she can, she will have a smooth life and no more disasters. If she can't, she will just go to the underworld three or two months earlier. It's up to you to decide."
Zhou Chao's face turned pale. "Master, do you mean that my daughter only has three or two months to live?"
Wang Feiyin nodded.
Zhou Chao couldn't help but get angry at Sun Xianniang, "Didn't you say that the foot-binding lady was very skilled and never killed anyone? How did you find that person?"
Pan Yun sneered, "Mr. Zhou, it's the same no matter who you find. Foot binding is against the laws of nature."
Zhou Chao: "But other families are also pestering..."
"So other families' blessings are also being destroyed," Pan Yun interrupted him and said directly, "The head is above the sky, which can receive yang energy, and the feet are below the earth, which can receive yin energy. Only the harmony of yin and yang can be the great way, and merit, virtue, and fortune all come from yin and yang. Foot binding interrupts yin energy and reduces blessings."
Pan Yun paused, rolled her eyes, and said, "A pair of bound feet will not only sap the blessings of the mother's family, but also the husband's family. Go ahead and bind your daughters' feet. If you have a grudge against someone's family in the future, bind your daughters' feet and marry them off. Within three generations, their family will surely fall into decline or even be destroyed."
Zhou Chao's eyes widened. "Then, how do we solve this problem?"
"Unbinding feet! This is the most effective solution," Pan Yun sneered, "and don't even think about strangling the women with bound feet to end it all. You should know that there is retribution in the underworld. If you bind someone's feet, only three generations will be ruined. But if you kill someone and create resentment, you will be beheaded for the rest of your life!"
The people in the room who had some ideas were instantly startled and quickly suppressed the thoughts.
Tao Ji had already untied the cloth strips on his other foot, and the situation was also very bad.
In order to treat her, we must first solve the pain problem.
Wang Feiyin already had an idea in mind, and asked Zhou Chao, "Please give me a definite answer, Mr. Zhou. Will we survive this disaster or not?"
Zhou Chao came back to his senses and said quickly: "Du, Du, please save me, Immortal."
“Even if it doesn’t work in the end?”
Zhou Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Even if it doesn't succeed in the end."
"Okay," Wang Feiyin said, "There is one more thing I need to tell Mr. Zhou. After her feet are freed, she cannot bind them again."
Zhou Chao smiled bitterly and said, "How dare I let her bind her feet? She cried miserably when I asked someone to bind her feet before, but the adults at home said it was normal, so I didn't take it to heart. If I had known how painful it was, I would never let them bind my feet."
Sun Xianniang was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.
Wang Feiyin said: "Since we have to survive this disaster, we should start preparing now. We need to buy some medicinal herbs."
Wang Feiyin wrote a list of medicines for them, listing a bunch of them in a dense manner.
Zhou Chao took it, glanced at it, and went down to prepare.
Wang Feiyin asked Tao Ji to give the little girl acupuncture. "Take the medicine first. Let my third junior brother give her a few injections to relieve the pain. I will treat her after the funeral tomorrow."
