Rosie Song quickly regained consciousness.
She realized that not only was she not dead, but she was also perfectly alive and well.
Instantly, Rosie Song plunged into immense agony.
"Why didn't I die? I should have died!"
"As long as I'm dead, no one else will be implicated by me!"
"Let me die! Let me die!"
...
Looking at Rosie Song, who desperately wanted to seek death, the crowd felt a wave of speechlessness.
Especially Quinn Ye, who was completely unable to understand this kind of person who wanted to seek death.
What's so good about dying? Once you're dead, you have absolutely nothing. You know nothing, you exist as nothing. Plunged into eternal darkness. With no day of ever waking up again. It's too terrifying. Just thinking about it made Quinn Ye feel like he was suffocating.
Therefore, Quinn Ye was very afraid of death.
Even living just one more day was good.
"Young woman, the world is so beautiful, and you still have such a wonderful life you have yet to experience. Let's not be in such a hurry to seek death,"
Quinn Ye couldn't help but speak up to persuade her.
Rosie Song shook her head repeatedly.
"If I don't die, more people will die because of me. I don't want to harm anyone anymore."
Quinn Ye had a strange expression: "Then you actually could have ended your own life a long time ago."
Rosie Song had a bitter face: "I've tried, but every time I want to end my own life, an accident always happens."
What? The crowd was stunned.
They listened as Rosie Song continued to speak: "The first time I sought death, I wanted to jump off a cliff. But for some unknown reason, I was blown back by a gust of wind. If I jumped again, I would still be blown back up."
The crowd: "???"
Rosie Song: "Another time, I wanted to slit my throat with a sword, but the sword directly snapped."
The crowd: "???"
Rosie Song: "The most recent time, I finally managed to obtain an extremely poisonous medicinal pill. It was said that as long as I swallowed it, I would bleed from my seven orifices and die within moments."
"But after I ate it, my stomach only hurt for a while, and then there was no further reaction."
The crowd: "???"
Rosie Song had a face full of despair.
"For so many years, I can't even die when I want to, but staying alive will constantly harm people. I truly don't know what to do."
The crowd: "..."
Cosmo Shen looked at Rosie Song with solemn eyes: "This old man once read in ancient texts that the Physique of Calamity brings natural-born misfortune. But when things reach an extreme, they reverse course. If someone possessing the Physique of Calamity encounters danger, they will turn bad luck into good fortune and avert the crisis."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was entirely shocked.
It can even work like this? No wonder this Rosie Song had always wanted to die but couldn't.
It turned out that this Physique of Calamity, apart from being bad for others, actually bestowed heaven-defying luck upon the possessor herself.
Quinn Ye also clicked his tongue in wonder.
This physique is truly unbelievable. A classic example of harming others to benefit oneself. Others will suffer bad luck because of her, but she herself, due to the Physique of Calamity, will always encounter good things. "Holy Son, I beseech you to lend a hand and resolve the Physique of Calamity for her,"
Monk Hugo spoke up.
Quinn Ye had a look of helplessness.
"What way could I possibly have?"
Hugo smiled: "The Holy Son only needs to do one thing to resolve the Physique of Calamity for her."
"What thing?"
"Give her a protective amulet."
Quinn Ye had a face full of confusion: "Is it that easy?"
Hugo nodded: "The Holy Son's merit and virtue are boundless, and you inevitably have the protection of my Buddha. If she has a protective amulet personally gifted by the Holy Son, I imagine the power of my Buddha will also descend upon Benefactor Song, eliminating disasters and solving difficulties for her."
"Is that so."
Quinn Ye nodded.
He also knew that Buddhism had this set of customs.
To put it bluntly, it was just consecration.
Once items in a temple were said to be consecrated, they became valuable.
But as for whether they were actually useful, that was a matter of opinion.
Anyway, in Quinn Ye's view, the so-called consecrated items were merely for psychological comfort.
"Alright then."
Quinn Ye thought about it, then returned inside the house.
Not long after, he walked out again.
Quinn Ye was seen holding a red object in his hand, seemingly woven from some kind of silk thread.
None of the few people had ever seen this kind of thing before, and for a moment, they were all somewhat curious.
"Young Master Ye, this is?"
Lance Xu asked curiously.
"This is a Lucky Knot."
Quinn Ye smiled faintly.
"A Lucky Knot?"
The few of them looked at each other in blank dismay, having completely never heard of this item.
"Looking at this item, it's quite festive,"
Cosmo Shen smiled.
"Of course it is."
Quinn Ye handed the Lucky Knot to Rosie Song.
"Although I don't know if this thing is useful, it can be considered a token of peace. Just keep it on you."
"Thank you, Young Master Ye!"
Rosie Song received it with both hands.
Just as Rosie Song took hold of the Lucky Knot.
A warm current instantly circulated throughout Rosie Song's entire body.
"Hm?"
Rosie Song was startled, and then looked at this Lucky Knot somewhat unbelievably.
For some unknown reason, she felt as if some sort of change had occurred in her body.
But exactly what kind of change it was, she couldn't explain clearly.
The others, seeing Rosie Song receive a gift from Quinn Ye, all revealed envious looks.
This item came from the hands of Quinn Ye!
That was absolutely a treasure.
It was inevitably incomparably extraordinary.
What a pity.
They could only feast their eyes on it, not daring to harbor any covetous thoughts.
Moreover, snatching something belonging to the Physique of Calamity was absolutely not a wise move.
"Benefactor Song, follow me down the mountain and return to The Shaolin Temple."
"Alright."
At once, Hugo led Rosie Song down the mountain.
And Cosmo Shen and the others didn't stay long either. After bidding farewell to Quinn Ye, they left one after another.
On their way back to The Shaolin Temple, Hugo and Rosie Song met Finn Guo and had him return to Quinn Ye's place.
A storm caused by the Physique of Calamity had temporarily subsided.
Rosie Song returned to The Shaolin Temple.
But her heart remained anxious and uneasy.
Constantly worried that she would bring some disaster to The Shaolin Temple again because of her Physique of Calamity.
For several consecutive days, The Shaolin Temple was safe and sound.
Nothing happened at all.
Even Void Bamboo, who had previously been unable to get out of bed, began to gradually recover.
Hugo was extremely meticulous, firmly believing that the Lucky Knot given to Rosie Song by Quinn Ye had played a massive role.
And Rosie Song also felt it was very miraculous.
Wearing that Lucky Knot every day, she only felt her mind smoothed and her mood unconsciously brightening up.
Furthermore, seeing that the people around her were no longer affected by her, she was also extremely happy.
"Young Master Ye is truly a divine being."
Sitting in the Buddhist hall, Rosie Song held the Lucky Knot in her hand, feeling incomparably grateful to Quinn Ye in her heart.
She could finally feel at ease.
Meanwhile, Quinn Ye, who had unknowingly done a massively good deed, was currently looking at the large patch of scorched earth on the ground, feeling somewhat distressed.
"It's too ugly,"
Quinn Ye smacked his lips and said.
"Master, let's go down the mountain and buy some seeds to tidy this place up and expand the courtyard,"
Finn Guo said.
Quinn Ye's eyes lit up.
"Good idea!"
At once, the Master and disciple went down the mountain together and arrived at the market.
After buying the seeds, they were preparing to return to the mountain.
"Fortune-telling and word interpretation! Unraveling destinies and reading lots!"
An old, blind man, dark-skinned and scrawny, wearing a blue shirt, sat by the roadside, constantly shouting out.
Originally, neither Quinn Ye nor Finn Guo paid any attention.
Until the Master and disciple passed by him, the old blind man suddenly reached out and grabbed Finn Guo's arm.
"Young lad, let this old man read your fortune!"
