Chapter 23 - 14 Through the Door of Misfortune
Inside the Funeral Shop, Xu Qing used blood as a medium, weaving the ten strands of blood from his fingertips like a child playing with string. He continuously twisted and turned them, finally creating a blood worm with wings that resembled a tiny green cicada.
The abdomen of the blood worm, shaped like a paper-cut cicada, vaguely showed dozens of tiny green cicada larvae the size of grains of rice.
The mother and offspring were tied together, and the cicada curse was initiated.
Xu Qing, who was well-prepared, looped the mother string around his golden copper plate, while the baby worm flapped its wings and landed into his money pouch.
At the mouth of the pouch, a red-green light flickered briefly. If Xu Qing hadn't been staring at it, he might have thought it was just his eyes playing tricks on him.
"Is it done?"
Xu Qing took out a copper plate and, with a hopeful attitude, went to the backyard. He then used all his strength to throw it over the wall.
He wasn't worried about hitting someone. Even if a copper plate hit someone's head, it would be like a raindrop at most, causing just a small bump that his wife could blow on, and it would be gone before long.
After throwing the copper coin, Xu Qing stood in the backyard, looking up at the sky. But after waiting for what felt like half a cup of tea's time, the copper plate didn't fly back flapping its little wings.
Maybe he used too much force, and the mother coin couldn't receive the signal?
Guessing the right amount of force, Xu Qing threw out another copper coin, this time using only half his strength, but still, he saw no sign of the copper coin returning after waiting for a while.
