"What? Are the things happening in the village related to the Yang family?"
The old village chief's face suddenly became serious.
He muttered to himself, "But Yang Wantian is already dead. As for Yang Wantian's woman Ma Hongying, she has been acting crazy for more than a year. How could it be their family's doing?! It's impossible..."
The old village chief didn't know that Ma Hongying had committed suicide. Naturally, there was no need for us to tell him. If we told him too much, we would only cause trouble for ourselves.
Then the old man arranged for a young man nearby to take us to Yang Wantian’s home.
But as soon as we turned around, the old man grabbed Master Chu's arm, looking embarrassed.
He said hesitantly, "Master, you see my son... ... are you going to forgive him? He did it unintentionally and had no ill intentions! He does have a bad temper."
Master Chu knew very well that the old man was pleading for his son.
Without saying a word, Master Chu walked up to Li Jun and casually took off the talisman on Li Jun's forehead.
Master Chu faced Li Jun and said in a deep voice, "Boy, you must learn to respect your elders in the future. I see that your cheekbones are prominent and your eyebrows are cleaved, which seems ominous. If you don't respect your elders, I'm afraid you will bring bad consequences upon yourself."
Upon hearing this, Li Jun's cheeks immediately broke out in sweat. This time he behaved like a grown-up girl, saying repeatedly: "Okay, okay... Master, I will listen to you! I will definitely remember your words."
Having said this, Li Jun went to support his father, looking very submissive.
But I was unwilling to give in. When I think about the arrogant look of the middle-aged man just now, I feel very angry.
But just when I was about to speak, Master Qi, who was standing next to me, smiled and said to me: "Okay, let's forgive them when we can. We should still do our business."
I curled my lips, glared at the middle-aged man, and gave it up.
Otherwise, the middle-aged man would have to slap himself fifty times. After all, he had made a bet with me with full confidence.
I snorted coldly and said to the middle-aged man, "For the sake of the old village chief, I will spare you this time!"
The middle-aged man didn't dare to look up at me, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, little master, you are right!
Don't be angry, I was just confused for a moment and didn't know the immensity of the world."
Without paying any attention to the middle-aged man, I followed Master Chu and others out of the ancestral hall.
The old village chief had difficulty walking and did not come with us, but he sent the middle-aged man Li Jun out and told Li Jun to obey our orders.
Li Jun was quite sensible. After learning that he had prominent cheekbones and a clash between his eyebrows, he tried to please Master Chu and Master Qi, flattering them at the same time. He flattered them so well that I almost vomited after hearing it.
Led by the young man, we walked towards Yang Wantian’s home.
There were many villagers from Fengmen Village following behind us. Originally a quiet village, it suddenly became very lively. We walked in front, and the villagers followed behind, making a lot of noise.
I was curious about Master Chu's ability to read faces.
I whispered to Zhao Xilan, "Sister Xilan, is Master Chu's face reading accurate?"
Who knew that my words would make Sister Xilan laugh.
She covered her mouth and laughed.
While laughing, she explained to me in a low voice: "Brother Tianyi, look at you, you are really honest. You also believe what that old guy said, he is just talking nonsense, you can't believe it at all. If he can read faces, we can do it too!"
"You mean..."
"That's right! Master Chu lied to Li Jun. Look at Li Jun, he's big and strong, and in great shape. I'm afraid he's stronger than a bull! ... And he's also a bad guy? Hehe, it's all Master Chu's lies!"
After hearing this, I suddenly understood and couldn't help laughing.
I didn't slap Li Jun, and I was quite upset. But now that I saw Li Jun grovelling to please Master Chu and Master Qi, my unbalanced heart was finally a little satisfied. I thought to myself: "Boy, no matter how fierce you are, you still have to please us Taoist priests!"
Soon, we arrived at the north of Fengmen Village. In the north of the village, on a slightly higher ground, there was a large courtyard. The walls of the courtyard were all made of red bricks, and it was more spacious than the houses of other families in Fengmen Village. It seemed that Yang Wantian had indeed made some money during his years as a tailor.
The door is a red painted wooden door, the door panel is very thick, but much of the red paint on it has faded.
It has fallen off. It may be because of Yang Wantian's death that the Yang family fell into decline. There are more than a dozen large locust trees planted in front of the door. The locust trees have lush branches and leaves. From a distance, it is a beautiful scenery, but when you get closer, you can't help but feel a chill.
"This is the Yang family!"
The young man who led the way raised his hand and pointed at the gate of the Yang family, and said something timidly. Then, he retreated back into the crowd.
Master Chu and Master Qi stopped and did not immediately walk towards the Yang family's gate.
Master Chu looked around the Yang family's house, his brows furrowed and his face gloomy.
"What is Master Chu looking at?" I asked Sister Xilan next to me.
Sister Xilan explained to me, "Master Chu knows a little bit about Feng Shui cave hiding techniques and can read Feng Shui. I think he must have figured out something."
I was very surprised. I didn't expect that Master Chu, a Taoist ghost catcher, actually knew the "feng shui cave hiding technique". You should know that the feng shui cave hiding technique is extremely complicated in the Yin Yang Soul Crossing Notes. Even if I carefully analyzed it, I couldn't understand many parts.
"How about it?"
Master Qi turned to Master Chu and asked.
Master Chu said with a solemn look, "It is indeed a good place, but the Feng Shui pattern here has been broken by someone. Originally, the yin and yang were in harmony, but now the yin energy is extremely heavy. If my analysis is correct, I am afraid there must be a 'yin eye' in this courtyard."
Although Li Jun, who was standing on the side, did not understand what Master Chu was saying, he understood that the extremely heavy yin energy would definitely not be good for the villagers of Fengmen Village, otherwise so many people would not have suffered from strange diseases.
Li Jun hurriedly pleaded with Master Chu, "Master, you are all masters, you must help our Fengmen Village. Otherwise, our village will be finished! If the strange diseases of those people before are really related to the Yang family, then I will let my father drive away all the people in the Yang family. Anyway, there is only a blind old lady and a widow left in the Yang family."
Master Chu and Master Qi were both disgusted by Li Jun's cold expression.
Especially Master Chu, after glaring at Li Jun, he said to him in a deep voice: "Now the situation has been broken. Even if you drive away the Yang family, it will be useless. You still have to find a way to destroy the 'yin eye'... Besides, the matter has not been clarified yet, so we can't make rash judgments. It's the Yang family's fault.
for!"
Li Jun was scolded by Master Chu. Although he felt bad, he did not dare to refute anything. He lowered his head and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! Master, you are right!"
Master Chu then instructed Li Jun, "Okay, go knock on the door, and we'll go into the Yang family's yard and take a look."
"good!"
After agreeing, Li Jun ran swiftly to the gate of Yang's house.
He started knocking on the door. While knocking, he shouted, "Po Yang, Ma Hongying, come out and open the door! Come out and open the door..."
After Li Jun shouted a few words, a woman's voice came from the yard. The voice was old and weak, and it was obvious that it was an old woman's voice. It seemed that the person should be Yang Wantian's mother.
"Here it comes, here it comes... Stop knocking, I'm not deaf. Do you want to shock me to death?"
Then, an old woman with chloasma all over her face came with a cane and opened the gate from the inside.
When I saw the old woman's eyes, I was surprised. The old woman's eyes were indeed blind, and the pupils in her eye sockets were shaking, revealing the white pupils. It looked very scary.
"Who are you looking for?"
Because the old woman was blind, she lay sideways with her ear facing the door.
Outside, the villagers of Fengmen Village following behind us were talking about what happened earlier. So the noise was very loud, and the blind old woman must have heard a lot of voices.
When Li Jun saw the old woman, he said in a deep voice: "Grandma Yang, it's like this. Since last night, people in our village have been suffering from strange diseases. Fortunately, several masters came today to help the villagers cure the strange disease. But although the strange disease has been cured, the source has not been eliminated."
Li Jun started to explain to Grandma Yang, which took quite a while.
"Then what are you doing at my house?"
"I am the only one in my family now. Wan Tian is dead, and everyone in the village knows about it. My daughter-in-law Hongying has been crazy in the past year or so. She ran away last night and never came back. Now I am the only blind old woman in my family. You don't want me to do something for the village, do you?"
"I can't do anything now!"
Old lady,
Li Jun was annoyed by the nagging.
Li Jun frowned and said in a rough voice: "Grandma Yang, let me tell you, the masters suspect that the strange disease was caused by your family, so we have to search your house! ... ... You hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise, I will tell my father to drive your family out of Fengmen Village! We don't allow any harm to happen in Fengmen."
And I found that when Li Jun was talking to that Grandma Yang, Master Qi's eyes were always fixed on Grandma Yang, as if there was something about Grandma Yang that interested him.
So I also looked at that Grandma Yang carefully.
I found that the hand of Grandma Yang, which was tightly holding the cane, was actually trembling slightly. And I was sure that it was definitely due to nervousness or fear.
Li Jun tried to persuade Grandma Yang for a long time, but Grandma Yang remained indifferent.
She stood in front of the door from beginning to end, otherwise Li Jun would go in. Li Jun had a bad temper, he wanted to push Yang Po aside and rush in directly, but after all, there were so many people in the village watching him, so he couldn't do that.
And since there were all of us standing nearby, it would be even harder for him to act rudely.
"No, no, no, I won't let you into my house no matter what. I'm the only blind old woman in my family now. If you have anything to say, wait until my daughter-in-law Hongying comes back."
It seems that the old woman doesn't know that the ghosts of her daughter-in-law and her son are no longer alive.
Seeing that the old woman was refusing to let us in, Li Jun was at a loss for a moment.
The villagers from Fengmen Village standing behind us started talking and pointing fingers at Grandma Yang. Some even said directly that the Yang family was the root cause of those people suffering from strange diseases.
Amid the buzzing noise, Master Qi waved to Li Jun and asked him to leave first. Then Master Qi walked towards the old woman.
When he arrived in front of Grandma Yang, Master Qi did not argue with her, but leaned close to her ear and whispered something.
Then, what surprised me was that after Master Qi finished speaking, the crutch in Grandma Yang's hand fell to the ground.
Grandma Yang sat on the ground as if all her strength had been drained away. Grandma Yang, who was sitting on the ground, burst into tears, her voice full of sadness and grief.
