The theory of fate cannot be believed completely, but it cannot be disbelieved either.
Especially in this world that cannot be explained by science, perhaps some seemingly ridiculous numerology may be the real truth.
The story of the Xing family's rise to wealth may really have started with saving a Feng Shui master.
However, what a Feng Shui master can do is nothing more than helping his benefactor to tamper with his fate, allowing him to enjoy wealth and glory, but he may not be able to protect his descendants.
Even Qin Shi Huang, who unified the country, could not guarantee that all his descendants would become talented, and that his dynasty would prosper from generation to generation, let alone a mere Feng Shui master
According to the legend, it is not credible that the Xing family changed their fate because of a Feng Shui master.
But if the legend becomes reality, it means that it will cost more than just a Feng Shui master.
Ning Buwen and others followed Xing Fangfang all the time.
Perhaps it was because Xing Fangfang covered for them, or perhaps it was because the master of the Xing family didn't care whether there were other people here or not. Only after he took all his dead brothers out of the coffins, all the people participating in the ancestor worship were present.
Xing Fangfang was able to come because of her belly.
“People born in the Chen hour have the toughest lives. The vitality of these people with strong yang energy can be used to neutralize the yin energy of the dead, which can ensure that the body does not decay. Servants of the Xing family keep going missing, and they become the 'food' of these uncles.” Xing Fangfang was supported by her mother-in-law as she walked. She said this with a smile, not caring if anyone was listening or not. Or maybe she was saying this for Ning Buwen and the others to hear.
"Dad, you have done so many evil things, and you still expect God and Buddha to protect you. Isn't this ridiculous?" Xing Fangfang was just about to ask her father what he was thinking
"If I hadn't done anything to harm the heaven and earth, you wouldn't even have had the chance to be born." The Xing family's master said gloomily, "I used so many tricks to have you born. I originally wanted you to continue the feng shui of our Xing family, but who knew that you would be a girl?"
The girl's physique is yin, and the Xing family is not a decent family. Even if Xing Fangfang has a good talent in Taoism, it will not benefit the Xing family at all.
Xing Fangfang's childhood was not really good.
"The net of heaven is vast and wide, and nothing can escape it." Xing Fangfang was not angry at all. "If everything goes well for you, Dad, then our Xing family's feng shui will not be cut off. God is watching us, don't you think?"
Today, Xing Fangfang and the master of the Xing family are no longer the loving father and filial daughter they used to be. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies.
If this is the true relationship between them as father and daughter, it is no wonder that Xing Fangfang had to use the pretext of being pregnant to participate in this ancestor worship ceremony.
"You are sharp-tongued." The old man of the Xing family sneered, "Well, since you want to participate in the ancestor worship so much, then come. Those little tricks you have learned, what are they worth? The founder of Wuyang Temple couldn't do anything, how can you compare to him? Or, do you want to pin your hopes on the helpers you found from who knows where?"
Ning Buwen felt as if his disguise had been seen through, and he stood there almost daring not to move.
"How could that be?" Xing Fangfang tucked her hair around her ears. "They are just here to make up the numbers. Now that the feng shui of our Xing family is in trouble, there are many people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of the pie. With more people coming to fish, the water will naturally become muddy."
Ning Buwen and the others were not the only ones who came to the Xing family.
For example, the evil god Buddha who had an agreement with me, and the person who hid behind the scenes and controlled the fake Tianyou!
Xing Fangfang thought of this and glanced at her father again.
She wasn't the only one who didn't understand the situation. It was she who was using the thinking from decades ago to deal with her father today.
"Don't ask, what is going on now?" Cao Qiu found that he couldn't understand what was happening. Everything that was happening now seemed to be completely different from what they had seen before.
What happened to the Xing family's head who valued the baby in Xing Fangfang's belly? What happened to the father's kindness and the daughter's filial piety? If you throw a knife in front of the father and daughter now, they will definitely start to chop each other.
"It's not like all fathers and daughters in the world have harmonious relationships." Ning Buwen said casually, "Forget it, can you put away the Chameleon's prop card?"
"Are you going to die?" An Buli was shocked.
"No, I think we've been discovered anyway, so we might as well be generous." Ning Buwen thought for a moment and said, "I think Xing Fangfang will still cooperate with us. She will only protect us."
"It's too risky."
"Isn't our current situation risky enough?" Ning Bu Wen retorted.
Forehead.
It seems to be the case.
Since Ning Buwen said so, no one else had any objections.
As soon as the chameleon's props were removed, the figures of several of them immediately appeared.
The master of the Xing family, the mother-in-law, the housekeeper and others also saw Ning Buwen clearly.
"Waiter, it's you!" The mother-in-law and the housekeeper were both shocked when they saw Ning Buwen. It seemed that they could not expect that this poor boy who looked honest and young would appear here
"Hi." Ning Buwen smiled and waved his hand, "Well, I'm here to help the young lady. What do you say, young lady?"
Ning didn't ask what they said before, but Xing Fangfang heard it all.
"Yes, they are here to help me." Xing Fangfang could roughly understand Ning Buwen's thoughts.
If Xing Fangfang was the only one who discovered them, even if Ning Bu asked them, they would have to consider Xing Fangfang's feelings. Xing Fangfang might trick them at some point and they wouldn't be able to react.
But once he showed up, it was equivalent to exposing himself. Given the bad relationship between Xing Fangfang and his father, it would be better for him not to ask them about the balance.
Now that they are here, can we just drive them away
Besides, Marshal Li and the group of people who have been hiding have not arrived yet, so now is definitely not the time to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"You brought outsiders in?" Those "brothers" behind the master of the Xing family can be used at any time. As long as Master Xing gives an order, they can surround Ning Buwen and the others.
An Buli's eyes were rolling to the sky.
What on earth had possessed him to make him go crazy along with Ning Buwen!
"They are not the only ones coming." Xing Fangfang touched her belly. "Since they are coming, let's have more of them at once. Dad, you should welcome them too. If not, why would you make up a story about the Xing family and tell it to others?"
Aren’t the news about Feng Shui treasure caves, wealth for generations, outstanding talents, etc., all released intentionally
It is precisely because this news is half true and half false that it attracts wave after wave of people.
Otherwise, there are so many wealthy families in the area, why would people focus on the Xing family
"Yes, they have the life to come, but they may not be able to leave." Master Xing's tone was very creepy, "If you want to come, then come. We would welcome more offerings to our ancestors."
"We're just offering sacrifices, but saying we're offering sacrifices to our ancestors is just a bit of a compliment." Ning Buwen said coldly, "They are not of the same species as you. Even if you want to acknowledge them as your ancestors, you have to see if they acknowledge you."
"Do you know who our ancestors are?" This time, the master of the Xing family looked at Ning Buwen with a lot of murderous intent in his eyes.
They have always told others that they were paying homage to their ancestors, and even Marshal Li did not doubt it. But the man in front of him knew that their ancestors were not human, and it seemed that he knew some inside story!
"About that." Ning Buwen said in an ambiguous tone, "I was not sure at first, but seeing you like this, I am very sure."
"You cheated me?"
"All is fair in war." Ning Buwen spread his hands, "Master Xing, you are so old, don't you understand this principle?"
"Do you really want to die?"
"Hey, Master Xing, don't be so hasty." Ning Bu Wen stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Want to beg for mercy?"
"No." Ning Bu Wen put Xiao Xin down from his arms. He was a little too heavy for him to hold.
"What I want to say is that you may not be able to kill us for a while. If you do so, it may delay your sacrificial time. The ancestor you unilaterally recognized has a fixed time to eat. If you miss it, you will have to wait again." When Ning Buwen said this, he was purely guessing based on the one he had met before, but as the face of the master of the Xing family became more and more ugly, he knew that he was right.
The quality of the master of the Xing family is very poor.
Ning Bu Wen couldn't help but think so. If it weren't for his daughter Xing Fangfang, who was also the head of the Xing family, he would probably be killed by him.
"Haha." Xing Fangfang saw them arguing back and forth and laughed unceremoniously, "Xiaoer, you are really good at irritating people."
"Miss, you are too kind." Ning Buwen was very humble, "It's all because of your good teaching."
The place where the Xing family worshipped their ancestors was not at the Xing family home, but on the back mountain of the Xing family home.
Ning Buwen and others followed Xing Fangfang and others all the way to the back mountain, while also observing the three "brothers" around the master of the Xing family.
It can be seen that the ability of the master of the Xing family is probably average. The more powerful ones should be his brothers who have died but whose bodies are preserved. Xing Fangfang has not taken action against him probably because she is concerned about these uncles.
After all, these "immortals" are filled with the lives of countless people born at the hour of Chen, so they should not be underestimated.
"Duoduo, do you think these people are zombies?" Cao Qiu looked around but couldn't figure out anything, so he had to ask Wen Duoduo for help.
"A bit like that, but not completely." Wen Duoduo thought for a while and replied, "If they were zombies, they wouldn't be so easily controlled. They look more like they are possessed by something, and their bodies are just a medium. They are clearly different from real zombies."
It was rare for Wen Duoduo to say so many words in one breath, but it also meant that these three guys were indeed not easy to deal with.
There are only five people in their team, and none of them has enhanced attack power. If a real fight breaks out, they can only rely on the guns in their hands.
Liang Fei was a little worried, but things had come to this point and there was no better way than to move on.
"Oh, Aliang said that there is already someone waiting for us on the back mountain." Xing Fangfang suddenly said.
"Come, let me introduce him to everyone. This is Aliang, who was also born in the Chen hour." Xing Fangfang pointed to the side. There was no obvious human-shaped object there, but one could feel that there was indeed such a thing there.
"It's just a wandering ghost." The Xing family master took a look with contempt, "It's only like this because it's related to you."
"That's right." Xing Fangfang nodded. "Who made me lack everything? No one who has anything to do with me has a good ending."
"Miss, please don't say that." The mother-in-law quickly advised.
"You are loyal and have served her for so many years. But your husband died early and you were unable to have children. Your relatives died one after another. If she hadn't protected you, do you think you would still be standing here now?" The Xing family master seemed obsessed with making things difficult for Xing Fangfang. "You are only forty years old now, but you already look like an old lady in her seventies or eighties."
What, mother-in-law is only forty years old
Ning Bu Wen looked at his mother-in-law seriously. She really couldn't tell.
"It's the same for everyone." The mother-in-law also glanced at the housekeeper. "Having some blood ties with the Xing family can help you not age so quickly. But your child, housekeeper, died one day. I saw you dig his grave, but you wishfully thought that he just quarreled with you and ran away from home."
The housekeeper's eyes changed, but he still said affirmatively, "He just ran away from home. You don't have to try to seduce me."
"Oh, poor thing." The mother-in-law was very disappointed with him.
As the person closest to the head of the Xing family, she and Xing Fangfang had thought about inciting the housekeeper to rebel, but the housekeeper had not taken any action.
His wife and children could have been fine, they didn't live in the Xing family, and their indentures were not in the Xing family. But his pregnant wife went into labor in panic when she saw the Xing family master murder someone and her husband burying the body.
Since it was the middle of the night, when she gave birth to the baby, it was exactly the hour of Chen.
She was so frightened and anxious that she frightened herself to death. It is said that she died with her eyes open.
The housekeeper's son could have gone abroad to study with Xing Tianyou and never returned, but his luck was even worse.
He has a black dog.
Yes, it is very similar to the one Ning Buwen is raising now.
Also on a certain day when they were offering sacrifices to their ancestors, the housekeeper's son did not fall asleep because he had a black dog. And because he was born at the hour of Chen, he became food for the brothers of the head of the Xing family in a daze.
The housekeeper came back from accompanying the master of the Xing family to worship their ancestors and found his son on the side of the road.
I originally thought that my son could sleep peacefully in the house and go abroad with Xing Tianyou after offering sacrifices to the ancestors, but who knew that my son's dog woke him up.
The butler was so soft-hearted towards the waiter played by Ning Buwen, not only because they were similar in age and birthday, but also because they had very similar hobbies.
After having a son die, he naturally couldn't bear to see someone who looked so much like his son die too.
"It's okay." The Xing family master patted his loyal servant on the shoulder, "After the ancestor worship, the feng shui of our Xing family will return. You will also be blessed after that. By then, you can marry again and have children. Your children will all become successful, and you can just enjoy your life."
"You are so slow." A delicate voice rang out.
At the ancestor worship site in the back mountain, there were two people, one big and one small, standing.
A middle-aged Taoist priest and a young girl.
Xing Fangfang's younger sister, Xing Yuyu, was also born out of wedlock and had a great talent in Taoism.
Since they are siblings from the same mother and were born to the same master of the Xing family, it doesn't make sense that Xing Fangfang is so outstanding while her sister seems to have disappeared and has no abilities at all.
It's not that she didn't have it, she just consciously avoided it.
Seeing her appear at this moment, Ning Buwen actually had a feeling that "she's here as expected".
How should I put it, although it was a bit unexpected, it was also within his expectations.
There are so many people in the Xing family, big and small. After eliminating the impossible, the remaining impossible becomes possible.
In this kind of supernatural game copy, you can't look down on women, you can't look down on children, and you can't look down on any passerby.
And the person next to her is also an old friend of Xing Fangfang.
When Wen Duoduo saw the middle-aged Taoist priest, he couldn't help but take a step back, "That's him!"
"You are so familiar with Tianyou, and you can use a spell to let a stranger pretend to be Tianyou and control him. You are also so familiar with our Xing family. I can't think of anyone else except you." Xing Fangfang looked at the middle-aged Taoist and sneered, "Master, long time no see."
"It's been a long time." Lu Qing, the middle-aged Taoist priest and senior brother of the Wuyang Temple master, smiled and stroked his beard. "Fangfang, your sister's Taoist skills are higher than yours. She is more likely to help me get the dragon ball from your Xing family's ancestral tomb."
The other end.
"Buddha, the Taoist priest from Wuyang Temple is probably useless if not dead." Marshal Li was a little worried. "Although he is not very capable, he can still reduce some of the enemy's combat effectiveness for us. It's a bit of a waste to just give up on him like this."
"It's not a waste. At least he confirmed for us that there is really something wrong with the Feng Shui of the Xing family." The voice of the Buddha came from the statue. "If there is nothing wrong with the Feng Shui of the Xing family, it will be very difficult for us to take over that Feng Shui treasure cave. Feng Shui treasure caves are things that recognize places and people. If we don't handle it well, it will be easy for us to get into trouble."
"Is the Xing family's Feng Shui treasure cave really so powerful?" After all, Marshal Li had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was still a little curious.
If such a dangerous act cannot bring rewards far exceeding the risk, it would be a waste of time.
He already possessed great wealth and power in the world, and was a powerful figure with guns and people at his disposal. If it weren't for the fact that the warlords were having a harder time recently and he had offended a lot of people in his early years, he would have been afraid that he would end up badly, so he joined forces with the Buddha, hoping to use the mysterious power of Feng Shui to enhance his fortune.
But now the Xing family is so weird. The soldiers he brought with him fell asleep as soon as they arrived at the door and could not wake up. If he himself had not brought the statue of the evil god, he would probably be the same as those soldiers.
Faced with such an unknown and dangerous force, even if one is blinded by greed, one will always be temporarily clear-headed because of the desire to survive.
"What do you know?" Seeing that Marshal Li was already planning to retreat, the Buddha had no choice but to explain the ins and outs of the matter in detail, otherwise this man would probably run away immediately.
If he had not lost his physical body and could only be enclosed in this small statue, why would he make a deal with such a fickle villain
"You also heard from the old Taoist priest about the true fate of the Xing family. The Xing family's fate was bad to begin with, and coupled with their many evil deeds, they had already become thieves and prostitutes, and this case was not closed until they had no children or grandchildren. But even with such a retribution from heaven, they were still rich and standing firm. How could a mere Feng Shui master change this kind of fate that only happens once in a century?"
"Is there a valuable treasure?" Marshal Li's eyes lit up.
"That's right." Buddha's voice was filled with desire. "This treasure that can suppress such a bad luck and change one's fate is unparalleled in the world. A hundred years ago, the Qing Dynasty had not yet fallen, but the country's fortune had already declined. The Qing emperor invited countless powerful Feng Shui masters to try to prolong the Qing Dynasty's fortune, but they were taken advantage of instead."
"Um?"
"There is a precious pearl at the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty! This precious pearl gathers the national destiny and humanity of the Qing Dynasty, and is the essence of the dragon vein. At that time, the Qing Dynasty imposed heavy taxes, and the Han people suffered for a long time. Since these Feng Shui masters have come to the dragon vein, they will definitely not be able to return safely. Oh, anyone who has achieved something in Taoism must be born alone and have no relatives. Each of them is a lonely person. The emperor is threatening them with their lives. They will die on the left or the right. How can it be as the emperor wishes?"
When Marshal Li heard this secret, he breathed a little lighter.
It was a time of turmoil. Although various Western ideas came together, in the eyes of the native Chinese people, especially warlords like Marshal Li, how could they not have a dream of becoming an emperor
Now, hearing that the Xing family's Feng Shui treasure cave actually contained the essence of dragon veins that was enough to make him king, the desire to survive was immediately overwhelmed by greed.
"Those Feng Shui masters worked together to help the youngest person escape with the dragon ball. But the dragon ball is closely related to the dragon vein. Even if they escaped, where could they escape to? I don't know if it was the fate of the Qing Dynasty itself, but the Feng Shui master really met a person, a person who was missing three of the five elements, had a very bad fate, and was destined to die a bad death with evil intentions."
This person is the ancestor of the Xing family.
In order to hide the dragon ball, it is necessary to cut off its connection with the dragon vein, so that the people of the Qing Dynasty can no longer find it, and then the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty will become worse and worse.
So, this Feng Shui master came up with a way to change the situation.
Under the pretext of changing Feng Shui, he went to the ancestral tomb of the Xing family and found that the tomb was indeed a mass grave with extremely heavy Yin Qi. Ordinary Feng Shui masters would run away if they saw it because they would be unlucky. But he did not run away. He took the opportunity to throw the dragon ball into the ancestral tomb of the Xing family, using the power of the dragon ball to completely cover the Yin Qi on the ancestral tomb of the Xing family, thereby consuming the power of the dragon ball, achieving the purpose of changing the fate of the Xing family and covering up the aura of the dragon ball, so that the officials of the Qing Dynasty could no longer find the dragon ball.
Originally, this dragon ball was completely capable of changing the fate of the Xing family for ten generations.
However, the descendants of the Xing family relied on the good feng shui and acted more and more recklessly. Their fortune and longevity were already shortened, and the Qing Dynasty was suppressed by Western countries, which further depleted its luck.
The dragon ball that originally gathered the essence of dragon veins could no longer change the fate of the Xing family after just three generations, and the sins of the Xing family returned to this world bit by bit.
Now, the Xing family's ancestor worship is nothing more than using various unorthodox methods to trap Dragon Ball, trying to make Dragon Ball exert its power once again to conceal the secret for them.
"Then according to what you said, Buddha, doesn't this dragon ball have lost most of its function?" Marshal Li felt that something was wrong. It seemed that the dragon ball had no function at all.
"If it had not been consumed, ordinary people would have been killed by it. The Feng Shui master died a miserable death, with no remains left." Buddha's voice was filled with deep chill. "Only a consumed dragon ball can be used by an individual. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still a unique treasure in the world. This country will no longer have a new dynasty, nor will it have an emperor. People's beliefs will also undergo major changes. This dragon ball will be the last one in the world."
Its value is unimaginable.
Marshal Li was also overwhelmed with emotion, but after walking a few steps holding the statue, he fell into deep doubts.
I'm afraid that even the current head of the Xing family may not know this secret so clearly.
So, how did the Buddha know this
The author has something to say: In the "Spirit Summoning" dungeon, the one in the classroom is a Soul Devourer, captured by Cheng Yuxue, S-level~
In the "Feng Shui Treasure Cave" copy, it can barely be considered a dragon in distress that has been mostly consumed, and is about this level.
= =, you can't bear it by force. I am used to being more concerned about the level of combat.
However, Ning Buwen's mission requirement is not to get the Dragon Ball. This mission is too difficult. Finding out the truth and finding the Feng Shui treasure cave will complete a mission, which reduces the difficulty in disguise~~~~
Maybe it was influenced by the TV series "Feng Yun" that I watched when I was a child, I always subconsciously rely on things like dragon veins when it comes to feng shui and fortune, hahaha.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the Xing family could have changed their fate, but they committed many evil deeds and the Qing Dynasty was destroyed faster than they imagined, so it was all over.
Finally, I would like to borrow a line from Feng Yun: "Too much belief in the heresy of fortune-telling leads to destruction."
learn a lesson!
