Chapter 37: Liu Ye Village Encounters Exorcist Tian Qing Dou

  On the way, Qin Feng told Zhou Qin about the details of the matter, and after listening, Zhou Qin also suspected that this matter might be related to the previous one. Such a coincidence must have an explanation, so let's go to Liu Ye Village first to take a look at the scene, maybe we can still find some clues.

  Soon, they arrived at another village at the foot of Zhēn Yāo Mountain. Qin Feng thought that since Liǔ Yè Village and Dōng Tóu Village were adjacent, then what happened in Dōng Tóu Village under Zhēn Yāo Mountain would inevitably affect Liǔ Yè Village. The village was not big, with the south side leaning against the foot of Zhēn Yāo Mountain, and the north side being a pond. According to the memories of the elderly villagers, this pond had been here since the Republic of China period until now.

  Following the villager's directions, Qin Feng and Zhou Qin arrived at the construction site. Looking at the foundation that had just been excavated in front of him, Qin Feng thought of Liu's matter again, but he still felt that things were much more complicated than before. The construction site may have been affected by this incident, and there were hardly a few people to be seen, leaving only an old man in his fifties with a pale face, who was sitting at the entrance of the construction site drinking tea and smoking a dry pipe, without any surprise or fear on his face.

  Walking up front, Qin Feng asked respectfully: "Hello, old man, why isn't this construction site under construction?"

  "Alright, everyone's dead, just died today, they're all too scared to come. Look around, excavators, iron shovels, a big pile of them, all abandoned in a hurry." The old man seemed to be complaining about the desolate scene, and glanced at Qin Feng and Zhou Qin without thinking, then asked: "What are you two doing here?"

  Facing the old man's inquiry, Zhou Qin's mind moved quickly and thought of a good idea: "Grandpa, we two are photography enthusiasts, coming here to take some pictures of the mountain scenery. It's really great!"

  It's really worthy of an old man with rich experience, this reason is quite reasonable. Turning around, Zhou Qin looked at the old man smoking his dry tobacco and immediately took out a pack of unopened top-grade Chinese cigarettes from his bag to give to him, saying: "Old man, we are just photography enthusiasts, this cigarette is good to smoke, you smoke this one."

  An old man who had been smoking all his life, as soon as he saw this soft Chinese cigarette, and it was a top-grade one, his eyes immediately flashed with excitement, and he took it over with a smile, saying: "Hehe, good, good, Chinese cigarettes are great, looks like you guys are quite rich."

  "Grandpa, you're overpraising me. By the way, you said someone died here? It can't be true, right?" Zhou Qin asked again, although both Qin Feng and Zhou Qin understood what was going on, they both pretended to be unaware.

  The old man opened the cigarette paper and replied, "Really, the dead person is called Li Daliang. I heard he was a migrant worker from Sichuan. Ah, what a pity that such a good young man was killed."

  "Hasn't the murderer been found yet?" Qin Feng continued to ask.

  "Listen, I'm telling you, I'm from Liu Ye Village. There's a snake spirit on this mountain, be careful when you go up, don't let the snake spirit eat you." It seems that the news of the snake spirit has already spread around here. The old man continued: "I think this thing is probably also done by the snake spirit. Think about it, a living person with scars on their face, arms and body, it's really unbearable to look at. I advise you not to go up the mountain, in case you run into it, you won't be able to escape."

  As for the understanding of the snake spirit, Qin Feng is already very familiar with it. The old man's words are true, but now going up the mountain would be absurd for Qin Feng. After all, he still has a relatively good grasp of controlling this snake. Moreover, another mysterious corpse has appeared out of nowhere, and if things continue like this, without investigating the truth and resolving the matter, it will likely lead to endless troubles.

  "Don't worry, sir, we have our own measure." Qin Feng responded in a timely manner and turned the question back to this matter, asking: "Sir, do you know where the incident occurred? I'm curious, so I'll go take a look. Who knows, maybe I can even take some good photos."

  Facing Qin Feng's idea, plus the charm of a pack of Chinese cigarettes, this old man nodded in agreement. As soon as he finished speaking, he put down the cigarette in his hand and stood up lazily to take Qin Feng and Zhou Qin to the mountain waist.

  Because Liuyecun is to the west of Dongtoucun, so Qin Feng has never seen this road to Shangzhenyao Mountain before. It's also strange that now in April, Qin Feng noticed that the willow trees in the willow forest on the mountain waist seem to be withered and lifeless, let alone sprouting new leaves.

  "These willows are all over a hundred years old, I don't know how this is possible," said the old man.

  "Qin Feng, have you noticed it too?" At this moment, Zhou Qin also saw the strange scene around him and noticed these things.

  Qin Feng nodded and replied: "It seems like it should be around here."

  As they walked, Zhou Qin looked at the scenery around him. Before long, the old man brought Qin Feng and Zhou Qin to where Li Daliang had died.

  In the same lifeless willow forest, if you look closely, you can still find bloodstains on the ground that have not yet dried. "Alright, I've brought you to this place, now I need to go check on the construction site, otherwise my boss will deduct my salary."

  "Alright, old man, you can go now." After seeing off the elderly man, Qin Feng turned to Zhou Qin and said: "How was it? Did you discover anything?"

  Zhou Qin, as a master of Feng Shui, was shocked by the Feng Shui here at first glance. He took out his compass and examined it carefully before responding: "The Feng Shui energy field in this forest is indeed chaotic, even the compass needle is shaking disorderly."

  "So it seems that this place is indeed a bit strange. The bloodstains on the ground haven't dried yet, let's follow them and see what we can find."

  Time was of the essence, so the two immediately followed the bloodstains carefully. The mountain forest was vast and there were many willow trees, after searching for half a day, the bloodstains gradually decreased until they lost track.

  "What should we do now?" Zhou Qin asked.

  Looking around at the eerie silence and fear, Qin Feng also didn't know what to do for the better. The dense branches had already blocked out more than half of the sun, unable to shine sunlight in, making the forest grayish and cold, giving people a sense of eeriness and terror.

  "Go this way!" Suddenly, Qin Feng faintly felt a wisp of yin wind coming from the east. As a half-disciple of the Tian Shi Dao, although Qin Feng had not yet been formally given the imperial edict, with his birth year's eight characters being extremely yin and having a great wood element, he could absorb the yin and yang energies of heaven and earth, so Qin Feng was particularly sensitive to these yin energies and evil energies.

  As expected, Qin Feng's decision was indeed correct, and they didn't have to go far before discovering something suspicious in the woods.

  It was just a small mound, but after Qin Feng used the Qí needle eight methods to measure it, he confirmed that it was a tomb. Moreover, it looked extremely hidden, with the surrounding layout being the same as Guo Songling's, with nothing visible, just a pile of weeds and scattered stones covering the sky. If it weren't for an experienced feng shui master, no one would have noticed that there was a tomb here. What's more astonishing is that this tomb has been emptied, and judging from the surrounding signs, it doesn't seem to have been dug up.

  "Has it really come out by itself?" Zhou Qin suddenly understood in a daze.

  "It's really uncertain. Moreover, the feng shui around here is extremely bad. The grave being buried under a willow tree goes against common sense, and to make matters worse, the originally southern-facing Ming Tang is actually laid out in the north, with everything around it being chaotic and disorderly. The green dragon at the entrance has escaped, and the white tiger is raging wildly - it's clearly a case of reversal. This grave's feng shui is the worst I've ever seen."

  Listening to Qin Feng's understanding, Zhou Qin also agreed, holding the compass in his hand and looking at it constantly. Indeed, there was no tree blocking the way where it should be, but instead, there were places that shouldn't have been blocked. Originally, the layout of the tomb was supposed to dispel yin energy, but due to the willow trees, the surrounding water couldn't flow, yang energy couldn't enter, and yin energy couldn't exit. He replied: "Yes, this grave has occupied the most taboo 'ten cheap land' in yin zhai feng shui. It's probably because of the heavy killing energy that caused the corpse to change."

  Ten taboos in Feng Shui, ten graves that cannot be buried: Eight winds blowing holes, Vermilion Bird disappearing, Azure Dragon flying away, Water mouth dividing flow, Head shaking and tail wagging, Front and back piercing wind, Mountain flying water walking, Left and right empty, Mountain collapse mountain crack, Having master no guest.
