“Whether it’s your wealth or personality change, it’s all because of external factors.”

“As for what it is, you should already have some idea, right?”

Chen Yu crossed his arms and looked at Wang Dequan calmly.

“Could it be that statue?” Wang Dequan blurted out.

Chen Yu nodded and continued, “In your opinion, this statue turned you from a poor bumpkin to a prominent figure in Hangzhou.”

“It is also this statue that has allowed you to possess wealth that others might not be able to possess in several lifetimes or even dozens of lifetimes.”

“However, everything is not as simple as what your eyes see or what your mind thinks.”

“That statue is a dangerous item.”

“Dangerous?”

Wang Dequan was stunned.

A moment later, Wang Dequan came to a realization.

The “dangerous” Chen Yu mentioned likely referred to an evil item.

Ever since he relied on the protection of the statue to make a fortune, Wang Dequan has had a strong interest in Feng Shui.

Other than charms or amulets that could protect one’s fortune and longevity, many evil items could do the same in this world.

Wang Dequan had already witnessed Chen Yu’s abilities.

If Chen Yu said the statue was dangerous, didn’t that mean it was an evil item?

“Dr. Chen, you’re saying the statue is unclean, right?”

Even so, Wang Dequan wanted to confirm it for sure.

Chen Yu smiled and nodded as if he were a parent looking at a promising child.

“Sigh.” Wang Dequan sighed audibly.

As the saying goes, those involved in the game need more clarification than those who are watching.

How could Wang Dequan not understand his predicament from Chen Yu’s indirect hint?

No wonder his personality changed 180 degrees after he became wealthy.

He thought it was because he had become a bigshot and caught the common problematic behaviors.

Pride, arrogance, and vanity.

He would not allow others to question his authority.

He had never thought that it would be because of that statue.

“Dr. Chen, since this thing is not clean, why has it brought me a fortune?” Wang Dequan asked.

No matter how he thought about it, he could not understand.

After obtaining the statue, his wealth was like a rolling snowball, ballooning bigger and bigger.

His luck also turned out to be extremely good.

“Sigh, alright. I’ll tell you about it in detail.”

Wang Dequan might not understand it clearly just by pointing it out, so Chen Yu highlighted his problems with some reservations.

He started explaining what the statue represented.

The five figures carved into the bronze statue were called the Wutong Shen.

They were also known as the Five Sinister Deities.

Although they had the word “deities” in their names, they were definitely not benevolent.

They were even sometimes depicted as demons in folklore.

In ancient times, there were many foolish people. When they encounter a being with power, they worship it as a deity regardless.

Little did they know, demons loved portraying themselves as deities.

Many of these demons loved mixing in with actual deities, tricking the people into worshiping them.

Wutong Shen was the same.

They would reskin themselves as the God of Wealth to obtain the faith and worship of the people.

At the same time, they would actually give the people the wealth they wanted.

These demons would then silently devour the essence, fate, emotions, and everything else in the person’s body.

It was used to increase their strength and cultivation.

From the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Wutong Shen had always been listed as evil deities by the imperial court.

Once they found any worshippers, they would immediately destroy their temples and statues and capture the worshippers.

Today, very few areas worship the Wutong Shen.

Most people didn’t even know there were such deities in the world.

Was Wang Dequan lucky?

The answer was yes.

However, just to a certain extent.

He was supposed to be a relatively well-off person in his life—nothing special.

But after picking up Wutong Shen’s statue, his fortune was pushed to a peak.

In contrast, Wang Dequan’s other areas began to decline.

Kinship, friendship, love, family situation, and compassion.

These emotions started declining, turning him into someone extremely cold.

He would become proud and arrogant, never allowing others to advise him.

His ambition and self-confidence swelled, and the final result was that he would lose everything fundamental to him as a human.

He would be discarded once the Wutong Shen absorbed all his merit, luck, and essence that seemed valuable to them.

Half an hour later, Wang Dequan was drenched in sweat.

Even Zhang Jianshe broke out in a cold sweat.

Chen Yu said all this rather tactfully, never mentioning anything related to the supernatural.

There was no mention of demons or deities, but every sentence he said had a layer of implied meaning.

Wang Dequan thought he had picked up a treasure that could increase his wealth, but little did he know that it was a time bomb.

A time bomb in the literal sense, the kind that would kill him.

It was also a “special bomb” that made people betray their loved ones and lose their humanity.

“Dr. Chen, please prescribe any medicine for me. I can’t wait another fifteen minutes.”

“Don’t worry. The illness can definitely be cured.”

Chen Yu waved his hand, indicating for Wang Dequan to calm down.

“Before the bronze statue lost its magic, did you bring anything similar home?”

“Yes, yes, yes. 1 bought a large number of statues.”

Wang Dequan began to explain without any urging.

Before the fortune brought to Wang Dequan by Wutong Shen stopped, his inflated ambition had already reached an uncontrollable level.

He thought about how he had become a billionaire just by worshipping one statue at home.

So, what if he worshiped 100 of them?

He could definitely become the richest man in the country, or even the world.

Just like that, under the encouragement of his ambition and greed, Wang Dequan did something stupid.

He took out a huge sum of money and bought a bunch of so-called spiritual artifacts.

This was also why, when Chen Yu said the brass statue was dangerous, Wang Dequan immediately thought of unclean goods.

The more he bought, the more experience he had in this area.

“Nonsense.” Chen Yu admonished.

“Artifacts, amulets, or statues are all products of feudal superstition.”

“At most, it can have a certain psychological comforting effect.”

“Other people would buy one or two at most, but you bought hundreds of them.”

“How do you know there are no other dangerous items amidst them?”

Wang Dequan’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that there was also a problem with the artifacts he bought?

“When you return home, find a helicopter and throw the bronze statue into the sea.”

After saying so, Chen Yu added, “Throw it further away. It’s best to throw it in the center of the ocean.”

“I understand. I’ll arrange for someone to do it in a while.”

Wang Dequan nodded repeatedly.

“Should the rest also be thrown into the sea?”

Wang Dequan probed.

“The sea isn’t a garbage dump. How can you throw so much waste into it at once?”

“Protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility.”

“You can either leave it to me to handle,” Chen Yu continued calmly. “Or you can also handle it yourself.”

“I’ll leave it to you to handle. That way, I’ll be more at ease.”

Wang Dequan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

“Master Chen, so… my illness?”

“Throwing away the brass statue is the same as pulling out the root of your illness,” Chen Yu said seriously.

“However, you have been ill for a long time. Even after getting rid of the root of your illness, your body is still weak.”

“It won’t be easy for you to recover completely.”

“You can use a psychological consolation method to heal your body.”

“What is this psychological consolation method?” Wang Dequan quickly asked..
