[The Romantic Path of the Saints] Chapter 7: Joy After the Calamity

Yu Tong's face darkened, and he was about to say something when he suddenly heard a Buddhist chant coming from afar. Turning his head, he saw a withered old monk drifting towards him, arriving before Yu Tong and his companions in the blink of an eye. The monk clasped his hands together and said, "This old monk is Ksitigarbha, greetings
to this fellow Daoist!" Yu Tong also held this most compassionate Bodhisattva in high esteem and immediately bowed, saying, "I am Yu Tong, and I came to the Underworld to handle some business. I never expected to be moved by the Bodhisattva's kindness; I am truly guilty!"
Ksitigarbha said to King Yama, "King Yama, you must handle Fellow Daoist Yu's matter properly."
King Yama looked troubled, "Well, Bodhisattva, this immortal wants to cast someone into the eighteenth level of hell, never to be reincarnated, but this person's sins do not warrant such punishment, so..."
Ksitigarbha smiled and said, "This person's sins are grave. Although the punishment is somewhat severe, it is not impossible. You should do as Fellow Daoist Yu wishes."
Seeing that Ksitigarbha had spoken, King Yama readily agreed. Yu Tong, deeply grateful, bowed again to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva before taking his leave. After Yu Tong left, Yama ordered his ghost soldiers to take away the terrified Director Zhang. He asked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, puzzled, "Bodhisattva, didn't you always tell us not to show favoritism? Why today…?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed, "I was afraid of angering him. Besides, that person's sins were indeed grave, and he deserved such punishment."
Seeing Yama still somewhat confused, he continued, "This fellow Daoist Yu is far too powerful. Just now, even his avatar possessed magical power no less than mine. His true form is unimaginable. If we anger him, I fear it will bring an unprecedented catastrophe to the Three Realms!"
Yama was terrified by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's words, breaking out in a cold sweat. Although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had not yet attained sainthood, his magical power was no less than that of a saint. And he actually said that Yu Tong, even as an avatar, was already no weaker than him. How strong would this person's true strength be? Stronger than a saint! He had just offended him. Thinking of this, Yama's face turned deathly pale.
Seeing Yama's state, Ksitigarbha laughed, "Don't worry, I don't think this Fellow Daoist Yu is unreasonable. Although he's powerful, he certainly won't get angry easily. Just remember, as long as it doesn't violate your principles, try your best to fulfill all his requests."
Yama was slightly relieved and secretly decided that as long as Yu Tong made any request, he would comply, regardless of principles.
Meanwhile, Qin Yun, carrying Yu Tong home, was still in a daze for a long time. Today's events were too unbelievable. Could there really be immortals in this world? Fortunately, even if there were gods, they were on her side today, so there was no need to worry too much. Looking at her son, whose eyes were darting around in her arms, she was worried he might be frightened. She gently patted his back and chuckled, "Tongtong, were you scared just now?"
"Yes!"
Yu Tong nodded his little head. "Yeah, that Uncle Zhang was so mean, but the fireworks were really beautiful! Mom, do you know who set them off?"
Qin Yun was relieved to see that her son was only frightened by the man surnamed Zhang and was not affected by the lightning. She told Yu Tong a joke. Yu Tong laughed, but he was also annoyed. It turned out that he had just released a wisp of his divine sense to follow the two thugs who had escaped. The two guys had actually run all the way to a police station. After listening to them talk for a while, Yu Tong realized that the police station chief was the younger brother of that Director Zhang. He had taken the two thugs out of the detention room and promised them that if they helped his brother with his business, he would release them early.
After the two thugs scrambled back, they told Chief Zhang what had happened. Chief Zhang, however, didn't believe them. He locked the two men up again and decided to personally go and arrest the woman, to torture her thoroughly. Firstly, to avenge his brother, and secondly, perhaps to extort some money. He knew his brother was dead, though he didn't know how. He didn't believe the thugs' superstitious tales. He had done far more bad things than his brother; if God wanted to strike someone down, He should strike him first. So, he took a policeman he was on good terms with and headed to Qin Yun's house, intending to arrest her, charge her with murder, and give his brother some closure. Besides, after hearing the thugs say Qin Yun was as beautiful as a fairy, he also had other ideas.
When Yu Tong learned of his intentions, he was even more furious. Qin Yun had already been frightened once that day; how could Yu Tong bear to frighten her a second time? So, the lingering ominous clouds of calamity once again enveloped the entire city. Just as Chief Zhang stepped out of the police station, a bolt of lightning struck, turning Chief Zhang and his subordinate to ashes. Yu Tong, too lazy to even consider going to the underworld, simply had them annihilated.
That night, Qin Yun slept restlessly, constantly thinking about the day's events. Yu Tong had to use a calming spell on her, and only then did Qin Yun fall asleep peacefully. When she woke up the next day, the memories of the previous day had faded considerably and would no longer have any impact on her.
On Monday, Qin Yun didn't send Yu Tong to kindergarten. Yu Tong had already convinced her not to go to kindergarten; she would go directly to first grade. In the morning, the mother and son were playing at home when there was a knock on the door. Qin Yun was puzzled; she didn't know anyone in the area, and her only nice neighbor had moved away last year. Who could be looking for her?
Upon opening the door, a woman who appeared to be in her thirties stood outside. She smiled and greeted Qin Yun, "Hello, are you Ms. Qin?"
Qin Yun hesitated for a moment before inviting her inside. The woman teased Yu Tong for a while before revealing her purpose: "Ms. Qin, it's like this, I'm an employee of Yongheng Company. Our boss really likes local embroidery. A few days ago, Mr. Zhang Danian mentioned that Ms. Qin's embroidery skills are excellent. I wonder if you could embroider this pattern?"
She then produced about ten patterns for Qin Yun to look at.
Qin Yun didn't doubt her words. In Suzhou, not many people knew she could embroider, and Zhang Danian, the woman mentioned, was her neighbor who had just moved away last year. So she took the pattern and looked at it. The drawing was exquisite; it would be difficult to embroider without a deep foundation in embroidery. However, this was no challenge for Qin Yun. She smiled slightly and said, "May I try?"
The woman nodded, and Qin Yun found an embroidery hoop and a piece of silk. With her right hand holding the needle, she began to quickly thread the needle. In just a moment, she had embroidered a corner of the drawing. The woman took it and looked at it, praising, "It's so beautiful! It's exactly like the drawing! Ms. Qin, could you take this order? These are ten patterns; embroider one of each, and we'll collect them at the end of the month. We'll pay you two hundred yuan per pattern. Is that alright?"
Qin Yun was stunned by her words. Two hundred yuan per pattern? That was too much! Back then, she only earned about two hundred yuan a month working in a textile factory. Now, she was being offered two hundred yuan for each embroidery piece, and ten pieces would be two thousand. With her embroidery skills, she could finish all ten pieces in less than two days. She immediately nodded in agreement.
After the woman left, Qin Yun picked up Yu Tong, kissed him on the cheek, and smiled, "Tongtong, Mommy will have more time to stay home with you from now on. Are you happy?"
Seeing his mother's happy expression, Yu Tong was very satisfied with what Tianyi had done and giggled, "Happy!"
