The True Meaning of Blessing

"About six or seven days ago, I met an old man on the street, and a piece of gold accidentally fell from his pocket. I was going to pick it up and return it to him, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

As she recounted what had happened, Xu Yue opened a drawer in the wardrobe and took out a small wooden box.

"Later, I planned to give the gold to my father, but that day my father and mother had another argument. And I also discovered that the gold had turned into a white stone."

Xu Yue spoke, she opened the small wooden box, inside which was a piece of gleaming gold, about the size of an adult's finger bone.

"I discovered that at home, when exposed to sunlight, this turns into a white stone. But as soon as the sun goes down, or when it's in a place indoors where the sun doesn't reach, it turns golden—I thought it was fun, so I left it here."

After explaining the whole story, Xu Yue didn't think much of it and reached for the strange object, preparing to take it out and hand it to Yin Yunze for a look.

However, just as Xu Yue's fingers touched the foreign object, the amulet Xu Yue been wearing around her neck suddenly flew up out of thin air and then shone with a ring of golden light.

"Ah----"

With a faint scream, the object that had been swept by the golden light was sent flying into a corner of the room.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Yue and Zuo Xiaoyu couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Yin Yunze couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

Goodness, how long have you had the Blessing skill?!

Today, Yin Yunze finally knows the true effect of this skill.

To Blessing Blessing, one must first understand: what is a blessing?

Yin Yunze initially thought it would increase a person's luck, but it turns out that this skill does not actually increase the luck of the recipient.

Speaking of good luck, what exactly is good luck?

Did you find money on the street? Or did you win every time you gamble?

But on the other hand, if you find money, it means someone has lost money. What if the owner comes looking for it and accuses you of theft?

Gambling, needless to say, is an evil deed that can ruin families and even cause death.

If you encounter an extreme person, this so-called good luck may turn out to be more of a curse than a blessing.

When you take money that doesn't belong to you, it means that someone has suffered a loss because of your actions.

Such acts of harming others for personal gain can only be called plunder, not Blessing.

The principle of Blessing is actually very simple, so simple that it is often overlooked: peace is a blessing.

Yin Yunze once heard a saying, "The daily routine we experience is a continuous series of miracles."

Only personal peace and safety is true happiness.

The true effect of Blessing is to protect the recipient's safety from evil spirits.

Yin Yunze had been wondering why, among all the skills he had acquired, each one was of a different category and direction, and he hadn't gotten a defensive skill yet. Little did he know that this skill was actually one of the first few he had been given; it was just that Yin Yunze hadn't used it properly.

Once again, Yin Yunze only gave a very basic introduction to these skills, filled with deep resentment.

A mere statement that you can Blessing the recipient—what kind of introduction is that?

Who would have thought that his real meaning behind those words was actually to give the opponent a magic-based shield!

Yin Yunze never expected that his accidental act of using Blessing as a peace charm, which was essentially a waste of resources, would actually be put to good use.

After the foreign object was knocked away, the Blessing amulet returned to normal and landed back on Xu Yue's chest.

As the creator of the amulet, Yin Yunze sensed that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi contained in the amulet was only about one-fifth less.

In other words, this amulet is not a one-time use item. Given its level of malevolence, it can withstand at least five attacks from the target.

"Wow, this amulet is really interesting!" Being a child at heart, Xu Yue was not surprised but delighted by the scene. She couldn't put it down and began to play with the amulet on her chest, which had returned to normal.

Zuo Xiaoyu's gaze lingered on the amulet and the strange object in the corner that had turned white again, then she looked at Yin Yunze and asked, "Divine Fox Lady, what exactly is going on?!"

"I think I have found the culprit who stole the Essence Blood of the young lady."

As he spoke, Yin Yunze slowly walked up to the strange object.

With Xu Yue as a case study, Yin Yunze naturally wouldn't touch it rashly. Holding the Expel Evil and Dispel Filth artifact between his fingers to prevent any accidents, Yin Yunze squatted down and carefully examined the strange object.

Previously, the gold inside the wooden box gleamed, and Yin Yunze assumed it was gold that had been enchanted, so he didn't think much of it.

But now that the foreign object has returned to its milky white color, upon closer inspection, Yin Yunze discovered that it was neither gold nor stone at all, but clearly a bone. Moreover, judging from the shape of the bone, it was not the bone of any domestic or wild animal, but clearly a section of human finger bone.

Ghost Bone!"

When Yin Yunze recognized it as a human finger bone, as the Power of Incense Offerings in his mind surged, Yin Yunze gained some insights into the finger bone.

In simple terms, "Ghost Bone" is an evil technique that involves keeping a ghost inside a corpse, such as on a piece of bone.

The Ghost Bone has an extremely strong hallucinogenic effect; everyone who obtains it will treat it as a treasure and subconsciously keep it close at hand.

Once hidden in a home, the ghost within the Ghost Bone will emerge late at night to secretly drain the host's Essence Blood. Being an extremely malevolent spirit, it will also leave its own Evil Qi on the host each time it drains.

Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, even a strong young man can't withstand it.

Young children like Xu Yue showed symptoms at a very early age. And if they did not receive proper treatment, those who found the Ghost Bone often died from exhaustion of their Essence Blood.

Conversely, if you don't have greed and don't think about possession, then the Ghost Bone won't find you.

It truly proves the saying: fortune and misfortune have no fixed gate; they are brought about by one's own actions.

It was precisely because of the Ghost Bone's unique characteristics that Xu Yue was able to bypass the Dynastic Karmic Luck from protecting her.

After all, the mechanism by which the Dynastic Karmic Luck is rather rigid.

It's true that the Dynastic Karmic Luck can ward off external evils, but if you intentionally ingest something, or even invite or beg for evil back yourself, that's a different story.

The protective effect of the Dynastic Karmic Luck was not so good.

To put it bluntly, Xu Yue's act of picking up the Ghost Bone was tantamount to stealing the ghost's corpse.

Don't tell me you did it out of kindness; how many people would admit to doing it intentionally?

The truth is, if you take someone's body home, it's perfectly reasonable for them to retaliate against you.

If it were a current official, this little trick wouldn't matter. Even if the official was actually at fault, the Dynastic Karmic Luck would protect him first.

However, if it were only the families of officials, the Dynastic Karmic Luck.

Who knows if these family members abused their power for personal gain or acted arrogantly, which led to them getting into trouble.

Dynastic Karmic Luck isn't that intelligent; it doesn't filter, it just applies everything indiscriminately.

If someone wants to harm you, the Dynastic Karmic Luck will intervene. But if you bring trouble upon yourself, then the Dynastic Karmic Luck has nothing to do with it.
