Chapter 288
The words of Song Xiaotian’s grandfather made us even more certain that Daoist Song had been a great expert.
Song Qingshan had actually predicted events several decades into the future. That was beyond the ability of an ordinary expert.
Seventh Master had been right. The great masters of that era possessed abilities approaching the divine.
“What did your father mean by Heaven’s timing, the advantage of the terrain, and human harmony?”
After recovering from his astonishment, Seventh Master immediately pressed for an answer.
The old man searched his memory. “Heaven’s timing referred to the era. By then, the Thunder Ancestor Temple had been destroyed for a long time, while the wronged spirits of the Luo Mansion had grown for nearly a century. My father was also alone. Although he possessed some ability, he couldn’t defeat so many wronged spirits.”
“The advantage of the terrain referred to the fact that the area was densely populated at the time. Many ordinary people lived nearby. To eliminate those wronged spirits completely, every resident would have needed to be evacuated, and no one could predict how many days resolving the problem would take.”
“There were countless obstacles to doing that back then. With so many residents, there would have been nowhere to put them after an evacuation. And such a major disturbance would inevitably have attracted the attention of the authorities. My father might have been arrested for promoting feudal superstition and disrupting public order.”
“That was connected to Heaven’s timing as well. The environment of the time simply made a solution impossible.”
