Chapter 124 124. Capable but Stupid, What a Misfortune
Jinjiu glanced at the Buddhist beads, then shifted his gaze to Taoist Qingyun.

"Do you know why I didn't save him?" Jin Jiu's words stunned Taoist Qingyun.

Isn't it because Zhengshan harmed Qian Wanghai that she didn't save Zhengshan?
But looking at Jinjiu's appearance, it is obvious that there is another hidden story.

Taoist Qingyun glanced at Zhengshan who had fainted from fear, and said with a dry throat: "Master, please speak frankly."

"Do you still remember that you saved a person who was haunted by a vengeful ghost a month ago? That person's surname was Fang."

Taoist Qingyun recalled and quickly remembered.

"Remember, the Fang family had a natural yin body, who was often haunted by ghosts. One time when he was passing by a construction site, he was haunted by a vengeful ghost." Then the Fang family found him and offered a large price to ask him for help. Taoist Qingyun agreed and successfully drove away the vengeful ghost.

Does this matter have anything to do with Zhengshan?

Seeing that he really didn't know, Jin Jiu didn't waste time and said directly: "Do you know that not long after you left, that person was haunted by a resentful ghost again, and that resentful ghost was the one you drove away at the beginning. Because it had been driven away before, its resentment was even greater. It couldn't retaliate against you, so it chose to retaliate against the Fang family."

"The Fang family is almost gone now." A big family of more than a dozen people, now only an old man who lost both legs and a blind child who is less than ten years old are left.

"How could this happen!" Taoist Qingyun couldn't believe it.

Because after he drove away the vengeful ghost, he clearly asked Zhengshan to send the ghost to Qingyin Temple for purification and salvation. How could it be possible for it to come back?

Is there something wrong with Qingyin Temple?
Do not!
This is impossible!

There is no way there can be any problem with Qingyin Temple!

Thinking of this, Taoist Qingyun immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call. The person on the other end of the line was from Qingyin Temple. He asked about this matter, and the other party said that no one sent vengeful ghosts over during that period.

Taoist Qingyun was still in a daze for a long time until the call ended.

Now he understood.

I understand why Jinjiu didn't save people and why he said it was Zhengshan's retribution.

For some reasons, He Zhengshan not only failed to send the vengeful ghost to Qingyin Temple, but accidentally released it, which led to the destruction of the Fang family.

Of course, since the Fang family was able to invite Taoist Qingyun for the first time, they could definitely invite him for the second time. However, it happened that Taoist Qingyun had other things to do at that time and went out of town. After Zhengshan, who was responsible for receiving information, learned about this, he was afraid that the matter would be exposed and he would be punished by Taoist Qingyun, so he chose to conceal it.

The Fang family originally wanted to invite another master, but the master offered too high a price. The Fang family had almost spent all their family assets to invite Taoist Qingyun, and in the end they could only let the resentful ghost torture their family.

"The Fang family actually... has no money to hire other masters?" Taoist Qingyun looked a little bewildered.

He clearly remembered that although the Fang family was not a wealthy family, they at least owned several restaurants and had millions, if not tens of millions, of liquid funds. How could the Fang family be out of money?
"Do you know how much money Zhengshan received from the Fang family?"

"Isn't it... one hundred thousand?" Although one hundred thousand seems like a lot, it is really not much for a capable master, not to mention that the Fang family has a fortune of one million.

Especially for a very dangerous job like exorcising evil spirits, it is not surprising that some unscrupulous people would offer a price of millions.

If it is a bigger scene and a more famous master, the starting amount for a single move is tens of millions, with no upper limit, and he may even have to sacrifice other things.

"No, he received five million."

"..." Taoist Qingyun was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Lin Qian couldn't help but rushed to Zhengshan under the golden light of the Buddhist beads and beat him up.

Although there were no physical injuries, the soul was deeply traumatized. Jin Jiu pretended not to see it when seeing this, and covered the box containing the Buddhist beads and pushed it back in front of Taoist Qingyun.

"The other master who was willing to help the Fang family offered a million dollars because he had promised to help another person. You are an expert and should understand the importance of reputation."

People working in this field are easily exposed to dangerous situations, and even the slightest difference in time may lead to irreparable consequences, so reputation is extremely important.

As long as they promise to help someone but change their mind halfway through, or change the time at the last minute, without any special reason, their reputation will inevitably be damaged. If they want to restore their reputation, they can't offer too high a price, let alone help solve the problem for free.

The master accepted the millions from the Fang family at the risk of losing his reputation in the hope of recovering some of the losses.

He didn't know the actual situation of the Fang family, nor was he familiar with them. Seeing that they couldn't come up with the money, he felt that there was no need to harm their own interests for this, so he refused.

This is extremely normal. Jinjiu doesn't think there is anything wrong, and Taoist Qingyun is not qualified to say anything. After all, the real culprit is the man on the ground, and himself.

If he had not failed to teach his disciples well and had not taken the money but not done the job properly, the Fang family would not have been in this situation.

To be frank, if the Fang family had not invited Taoist Qingyun, they might not have ended up in this situation.

Zhengshan had done more than just these wrong things, but the other wrong things did not become a big deal, and the person responsible did not know the reason, and Taoist Qingyun was also unaware of it.

However, it is almost always the case that Zhengshan charges Taoist Qingyun a high price for his services without his knowledge, but Taoist Qingyun still does not know about it. It seems that he is really stupid.

He is capable but stupid, and he has trained an apprentice who is harmful to others. It's really unfortunate.

……

After knowing the mistake Zhengshan had made, Taoist Qingyun naturally didn't have the face to stay and continue to ask Jinjiu for help, so after he recovered some strength, he and another disciple took Zhengshan away in shame.

Before leaving, Taoist Qingyun still left the Buddhist beads behind.

Jinjiu was not interested in the Buddhist beads, so she gave them to Fu Hong. It was she who saved Qian Wanghai's life, which allowed Taoist Qingyun to rescue him, so she felt no guilt in accepting the Buddhist beads.

Fu Hong remained in a daze until something was suddenly stuffed into her hand.

When she came to her senses, she saw Jinjiu walking up to the boy who had woken up at some point.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Jinjiu asked seriously.

Qian Wanghai had just woken up and was still a little dazed. He stared at Jinjiu blankly and then nodded.

"Dizzy." Qian Wanghai answered truthfully.

"Then you should have a good rest." Having said that, Jin Jiu went to check on Old Mrs. Qian's condition, then turned to look at Qian Hui, who was huddled in the corner, not daring to move at all.

"Take her to the hospital."

"Why...Okay." Qian Hui originally wanted to ask why. He was willing to spend money on his son, but he was not willing to spend money on an old woman.
