Jiang Jingjing secretly glanced at An Rugu with pitiful eyes, ‘help me’ written all over her small face.

An Rugu received her signal but did not speak for her, and instead spoke for Liu Sang, “Your mother is right, although the pond is not dangerous, you still can’t go there.”

Hearing this, the village head couldn’t help thinking about the worst case scenario. “Could it be that there are water ghosts in that pond? But no one has ever drowned in that pond before—after all, it’s so shallow!”

The village head turned around, and he was already prepared in his heart. If An Rugu says that there was a ghost there, he would immediately call back the people who are near the pond.

Fortunately, An Rugu shook her head. “There are no ghosts there.”

That pond was only 500 meters away from here, and she passed by it many times over the years. The scenery there was very good, the pond was crystal clear, and there were no evil spirits like water monkeys or water ghosts making their homes in it. If there was, she would have already suppressed it.

But with her words, Jiang Jingjing was now feeling a little wronged. “Since it’s not dangerous, why can’t I go?”

An Rugu said lightly, “Your fate is weak, and it is easy to lose your soul when you are frightened.”

Jiang Jingjing: “!!!”

Liu Sang: “!!!”

In the final analysis, was it because of her daughter’s physique that she lost her soul?

Liu Sang didn’t at all believe in the idea of gods and ghosts before, but the timing of the five-emperor coins taking effect just now was too coincidental. The balance in her heart has tilted, and she believed 80% of An Rugu’s words.

When it came to her daughter, Liu Sang didn’t dare to take any chances, and she asked resolutely, “But she didn’t seem to have this kind of situation before.”

“Because she’s never been so afraid before. Now that this incident has happened, her emotions will become more unstable, and she will lose her soul more and more easily.”

Liu Sang was very anxious when she heard these words, and couldn’t help but express her worries, “Then what should I do?”

Today, encountering this strange scenario where she couldn’t wake her young daughter up really scared her. She didn’t want to experience it again, and especially didn’t want this kind of thing to happen to her daughter again.

“People with weak eight characters often have poor immunity. If you let her exercise more, her spirit will also improve, and she will not lose her soul so easily in the future,” An Rugu said.

Although An Ru said so, Liu Sang still had no idea what to do to make this kind of thing not happen again.

It’s like going to the hospital to see a doctor: the doctor tells you to drink more warm water. While it was a good idea overall, the effect of this prescription was very slow and often illusory.

Liu Sang seemed to think of something, and her eyes lit up correspondingly. Her gaze fell on the five-emperor coins. “These ancient coins are so useful, can they be worn by her? Auntie won’t take advantage of you—I will pay you how much you want for it.”

The whole process of how the five-emperor coins took effect just now was seen by everyone present. Almost as soon as she put it on Jiang Jingjing, the little girl became fine.

An Rugu recalled the box full of ancient coins in the Daoist temple. By her calculation there should be enough in it to craft dozens of great five-emperor coins.

It was not a big problem to give away a set now. 

An Rugu’s voice was light, like a spring rinsing a stone, “The five-emperor coins contain the yang energy of ten thousand people, which can resist evil spirits, exorcise evil spirits, and avoid evil. It can indeed cure the disease of her soul leaving her body. You don’t need to buy it from me, I will give it to her directly as a gift.”

When Liu Sang heard this, she disagreed in her heart—she didn’t want to take advantage of the child, not to mention that she still liked An Rugu very much. An Rugu’s nominal master has passed away, and she must not have enough money left to her. It was also even more impossible for Liu Sang to ask for An Rugu’s things for free.

Liu Sang directly took out her mobile phone, found An Rugu’s WeChat, and said decisively, “Your auntie is still clear about the accounts and will not give you a yuan less of the money that should be given. Just tell me how much you want, and Auntie will transfer it to you.”

Hearing what Liu Sang said, An Rugu knew that she was very stubborn and she wouldn’t be able to persuade her otherwise, so she was silent for a while, and then just arbitrarily set the price, “Five thousand yuan for the set.”

The Daoist temple didn’t have any earnings now, and although she has some money saved for now, she would still be sitting on nothing if this situation continued. She had to find a way to make some money if she was to continue managing the temple.

The matter of Liu Sang’s urging to buy the five-emperor coins moved her mind, and now have some ideas. 

She could make small five-emperor coins and sell them to those in need. However, no matter how many she has in the box, the five-emperor coins on hand were still limited and will be gone after they are sold out, so she can’t possibly sell it to everyone who wants one. When she goes back, she will draw some spells instead and sell those as well.

She calculated: the predestined people who had a relationship with her from before will come to the Daoist temple soon.

For her part, Liu Sang didn’t think it was expensive at all, in fact, it was extremely cheap! It costs a few thousand yuan for her daughter to enroll in any remedial class. Compared with such a useful thing for five thousand yuan, how could it be a waste of money?

Liu Sang turned around briskly. Seeing that An Rugu has accepted the money, she breathed a sigh of relief and held An Rugu’s hand to prevent her from leaving, “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come on, Auntie will serve you noodles.”

Normally, An Rugu would have agreed, but she slowly shook her head, “I’ve already eaten, and there are still things to be done—after all, her soul hasn’t been found yet.”

Liu Sang and the village head, who thought Jiang Jingjing had fully healed: “???”
