Three months later.
Fang Yuan, Tantai Ghost Guard and his party changed trains several times, rented donkeys and other tools, and went deep into a mountain range.
"Old Zhan, you won't be wrong this time, right?"
Fang Yuan glanced at the Tantai Ghost Guard next to him, feeling a little dissatisfied.
Although this guy's knowledge and exorcism skills are pretty good, he made a mistake while searching for the ghost-sealing village. After visiting several wrong places in a row, even Fang Yuan became a little impatient.
As for why he is called Lao Zhan instead of Tantai, it is of course because Fang Yuan does not recognize this generation. Otherwise, wouldn't there be an extra grandfather for no reason
"It's definitely here, that's right!"
Tantai Ghost Guard said with certainty: "This is the last of the suspicion points I have drawn."
As he said that, he looked at the other dusty team members with an embarrassed look on his face: "After all... after hundreds of years, time has long erased everything, not to mention that the village will change its name."
"The name Fenggui Village should really be changed! It doesn't sound very auspicious."
Fang Yuan also nodded.
"Amitabha..."
Monk Jingse was also in the team, but his original bald head had turned into a dusty mess: "The poor monk just didn't expect... this village in the mountains is so difficult to find, and I can't even find a guide. "
"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, this place is famous for its barren mountains and harsh waters, as well as miasma and poisonous fog. Even old hunters dare not go deep into it. Only the Tu people who originally lived here can adapt to the environment here and usually have to trade. And so on, they also took the initiative to go to the market in the county town... "
Tantai Ghost Guard's voice also contained helplessness.
"It's okay here. When we get to the front, we might even have to abandon the donkeys and climb on foot..."
Fortunately, the people who came were all ghost exorcists, with strong physiques and various supernatural means to protect themselves, so they were not afraid of this difficulty at all.
Especially Fang Yuan, whose physique at this time was simply inhuman. He could carry hundreds of kilograms of equipment and walk on the steep cliffs as if on flat ground, which was an eye-opener for other ghost exorcists.
"Huh?"
After abandoning the donkey and climbing up a hill, Fang Yuan looked up into the distance and suddenly let out a startled sound.
"What's wrong?"
How could Tantai Ghost Guard dare to look down upon this junior, so he immediately stepped forward and asked.
"The trend of the mountains here is... a bit... weird!"
Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with golden light and he said calmly.
"The trend of the mountains... Could it be that Fang Yuan, you are talking about Feng Shui?"
Tantai Guihu's eyes lit up.
"Well, this thousand-mile mountain range bifurcates on both sides, like a dragon dividing into two ends, and protects one place in the center. It is either a great blessed place or a naturally dangerous place!"
Fang Yuan took out the map, compared it carefully, and felt confident: "I roughly know where the village is. If it is really located here, I will definitely choose Feng Shui..."
Three thousand avenues, different paths lead to the same destination.
Even though the world is different and there are differences, these basic Feng Shui metaphysical principles still have similarities.
"follow me!"
After finding the rightful owner, Fang Yuan was a little excited and took the lead.
"Hey... wait for us!"
Pity the team members at the back. The Tantai ghost guard was fine, but the Chen family brothers and sisters suffered a lot. However, the monk, who was not showing his face, wore a raincoat and a bamboo hat, and always maintained the top three positions in the team.
"The cycle of heaven and earth remains unchanged. Since Feng Shui converges, there is a difference between good and bad luck. But looking at the direction of the earth dragon, it is divided into two ends, which is very unlucky!"
Fang Yuan felt a little surprised and doubtful, so he searched for the dragon's acupoint, and after two days of trekking, a small village appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Well... there is actually a village in this deep mountain. It's unbelievable!"
When Chen He climbed up and looked into the distance, he saw the strange peaks bulging below, like a ring with a gap in it, surrounding a small village. The gap was the only passage.
The small villages are well-proportioned, with bluestone paving roads and water troughs, giving it a rather elegant artistic conception.
"How did you get the building materials in the first place?"
Zhan Tianhu was also a little surprised.
"Go down and take a look, won't you know?"
Fang Yuan looked at the village from a distance, but he gained even more insights.
This village was built on the basis of Feng Shui. However, this place's earth energy is where yin and yang meet. It's difficult to distinguish between good and bad. If it is used well, it will be more lucky than any other paradise. If it is used incorrectly, it will be a big trouble.
"Amitabha... The builder of this village has a lot of profound intentions. Look at the distribution of the buildings. They are natural, hiding Tai Chi, and surrounded by Bagua guards... "
Although Monk Jiese is a Buddhist, he is also very proficient in Taoism and other things. He also gave some pointers, which made Chen Xin and others happy: "This village is so knowledgeable, there is no doubt that it will be a Fenggui Village!"
…
The group went down the mountain and walked to the edge of the village.
A big man dressed in simple clothes and carrying an ax and firewood happened to pass by the roadside. When he saw them, a simple smile appeared on his face: "Are you... tourists from outside?"
Although he spoke with a thick accent, Fang Yuan and the others could actually understand him.
"Yeah... We are all traveling friends from all over the world, going on a wild adventure!"
Chen Xin stepped forward, and everyone left this kind of dealings to her directly: "Uncle, is there a hotel in the village? We have been climbing mountains for many days, and we are very tired..."
"Where can I find a hotel in this remote country?"
The big man smiled honestly: "But if you want to stay overnight, I can take you to see the village chief and arrange for a few families."
"Ah, thank you so much!"
Chen Xin was overjoyed and stuffed a few more bills over her: "Brother, please lead the way."
"If this woman doesn't become a nymphomaniac, would she still be quite useful?"
Fang Yuan watched this scene silently, cursing in his heart.
Under the leadership of the big man, the five people entered the village together and found the village chief.
"Hey, there are actually people from outside looking for you here?"
The village chief here is an old farmer who looks to be in his fifties or sixties, wearing a Chinese tunic suit and a blue round hat. After receiving the cigarette, he smelled it under his nose with a smile, and there was a kind of cunningness like a mountain man in his eyes: "I want to stay here, no problem. Doesn't Donghua's house at the end of the village still have a vacant house? I've tidied up enough, and brought out some game, and made a pot..."
"No need to go to such trouble, we all brought dry food!"
Chen Xin quickly declined: "We will also pay, one thousand a night, how about it?"
“If you want it, you must have it!”
The village chief smiled so wide that Chen Xin secretly wondered if she had given too much.
"By the way, what's the name of this village?"
While the other party was making trouble, Tantai Ghost Guard couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and asked: "The name you registered seems to be called Five Ghost Village? Did you change the name before?"
"Huh? Do young people even know this?"
The village chief squatted on the ground, struck a match and lit the cigarette, took a greedy sip, and puffed out: "It seems that you are not just visiting our village for tourism, haha... Don't worry, we won't care about you. Yes, I have some good things ready to sell to you!"
"Um?"
Tantai Ghost Guard instinctively felt that the village chief had some misunderstanding, but then a flash of lightning seemed to flash in his mind: "How many tombs are there in this mountain?"
"There are many, I don't know how many high-ranking officials in ancient times were buried here. When it rains, landslides occur, and bones can often be seen..."
The village chief was a little confused: "Aren't you... here to fight?"
"of course not!"
Fang Yuan replied with a cold face.
They are professional ghost exorcists and have nothing to do with the tomb robbers.
"oh!"
The village chief nodded, but his expression clearly showed disbelief.
"Okay, we have been hiking for a day and we are already very tired. I wonder if we can take a rest first?"
Tantai Ghost Guard tried to smooth things over.
"No problem, I'll call Aunt Donghua right away!"
The old village chief grinned, showing yellowed teeth.
"Oh, by the way, before this Five Ghost Village was renamed, was it called... Fenggui Village?"
On the way, Tantai Ghost Guard seemed to mention it accidentally.
"Young boy... you ask too many questions!"
As soon as he mentioned this, the expression of the old village chief who was still enthusiastic suddenly turned cold, and then he laughed dryly: "That happened tens or hundreds of years ago, who can still remember it clearly, haha..."
"has a problem!"
With this expression, even the most superficial Chen Xin noticed something was wrong.
…
"How's it going? How do you feel about this village?"
Aunt Donghua is a woman in her thirties, with slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and wearing a floral cloth dress. She can be called a MILF, and her charm is still there, but she treats them coldly and politely. After arranging the room, serving the food, we went out.
Seeing this, Tantai Ghost Guard gathered five people together and asked about the situation: "Is there anything unusual in this village?"
"Amitabha..."
Monk Jese was the first to speak: "The poor monk just feels that this village is all-encompassing, and every place seems to have a hidden meaning. It is far superior to the poor monk in the formation. The poor monk really doesn't know where to start."
"Well, let me tell you what I discovered. Ever since I entered this place, I have always been surrounded by a sense of danger, which makes my hair stand on end!"
Tantai Ghost Guard also frowned: "It seems that this village is not very clean."
"Okay, let's eat first!"
He looked at the table of dishes in front of him and smiled again: "Although it is a small wilderness village, these are rare game, pure natural and pollution-free."
Because it was made in a hurry, there were not many dishes, only two meat and two vegetarian dishes. The vegetarian dishes were various mountain delicacies, wild vegetables and mushrooms, as well as a plate of fried bacon and a hot pot. The aroma was gurgling and mouth-watering.
After hearing these words, Chen Xin and his sister couldn't help but move their chopsticks, but Fang Yuan sat there motionless with a strange smile on his face.
"Could it be that you have discovered something else?"
Tantai Ghost Guard asked solemnly.
"indeed!"
Fang Yuan had no intention of moving his chopsticks: "To be precise, this village does have a big problem. Haven't you noticed... There is not a single living person in this village!"
