Chapter Fourteen: The Four Images of Punishment and Calamity

  According to what Master Qin said, if you want to cast a spell on the dead, you must build four small tombs in the east, south, west, and north directions near the tomb of the deceased. Inside each tomb, bury paper people who have been cast with the spell, intending to guard the grave, trap the soul, and prevent it from escaping. This type of grave is created based on Xuan Kong Feng Shui and is called "Four Symbol Punishment Bureau". According to Master Qin's instructions, Qin Feng thought he would try his luck and see if this tomb was a tomb that had been cast with a spell.

  It was stipulated that it was 100 meters, Qin Feng carefully looked around the surrounding pits and ditches, hoping to find it as soon as possible. However, the south side he searched was just the foundation, and after walking nearly 200 meters, there was no harvest, thinking that the tomb on this side might have been destroyed when digging the foundation.

  Although Manager Liu didn't know why, through the past few days of doing this, his son's illness got better. So, Manager Liu also stopped nagging and obediently listened to Qin Feng's words, heading east to search.

  As for Da Hei, he naturally followed the straightforward and thick style of Shandong people, without saying much, and generously agreed to Qin Feng.

  But this tomb is after all a thing of the distant past, to find the grave of several hundred years ago, must get through these three hundred plus years of wind and rain, soil erosion, if lucky maybe can find it, if unlucky who knows which thief in the past three hundred plus years has dug up this grave.

  And so, the four of them searched carefully, hoping to find something.

  But things are so coincidental, and Qin Feng really stepped on dog shit today. After a while, only to hear Da Hei panting and running over, his mouth still shouting: "Master Qin, I found it! Come and take a look!"

  "What?" Qin Feng shouted, quickly following Hei Da as he ran over.

  "Look, is this it?" Dahei pointed to a small mound on the ground that was not very noticeable. Qin Feng brushed aside the weeds and took out his compass to take a look. The needle indeed moved, but this time it was half-floating and half-sinking, neither reaching the top nor the bottom. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the "Tou Zhen" (投针) of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, which indicated that there must be a tomb underground.

  "There really are graves here!" Qin Feng exclaimed to Da Hei.

  "Is it true?" Da Hei did not believe Qin Feng's affirmative answer.

  "Of course it is, if you don't believe me, dig and see what's underneath."

  "Alright, I'll dig it up." Da Hei readily agreed with Qin Feng.

  Just as Qin Feng was looking this way, Lin Ruochen on the back also found a small mound, coincidentally, not long after, Manager Liu also discovered something similar in the east.

  "How come there are so many graves here?" Manager Liu asked Qin Feng while digging, still not understanding.

  Qin Feng found a few iron shovels from the construction site, took them and walked towards the tomb discovered by Lin Ruochen, saying: "Manager Liu, I believe the answer will be out soon!"

  It's confirmed that this grave was sealed with a Gu insect seal, so now Qin Feng can confirm that the vengeful spirit Zhang Lai is indeed the soul that was sealed by the Gu insect. With these things confirmed, he believes that the matter will soon be resolved. However, he still doesn't understand why he would be affected by the Miaojiang tribe's Gu insect curse for over 300 years and unable to reincarnate. Is there some deep-seated blood feud?

  With a loud clang, the three big men quickly dug open the tomb. The first one to be dug up was the tomb on Dahei's side. Inside, except for a paper person in a rectangular recess made of several green bricks, there was nothing else. Out of curiosity, Dahei asked Lin Ruochen, who had just walked over to take pictures: "Strange, why isn't there any bones inside? I thought ancient people all had coffins, how come there's not even a coffin shell?"

  "This is probably the tomb Qin Feng was talking about."

  "What tomb?"

  "It's about Gu Yin."

  "Oh, I'd better ask Master Qin about this."

  Before long, Qin Feng and Manager Liu's side also dug up the same things as Da Hei: a few green bricks forming a square recess with paper men inside.

  Seeing this, Qin Feng finally confirmed what Grandfather had said. No mistake, these several tombs were indeed the ones with the Gu Yin seal. The paper people had gone through three hundred years without rotting, it was clear that they had been sealed with Gu magic. Qin Feng wanted to take out the paper people and give them to Grandfather for research, but just at this moment, Lin Ruochen suddenly shouted loudly while taking pictures in the west.

  "Ah!"

  This loud cry immediately startled Qin Feng and Manager Liu, who hurried over to see what was going on.

  He rushed over, and Qin Feng was shocked. The scene in front of him seemed to have happened in the hospital before: Da Hei suddenly went crazy for some reason, pinning Lin Ruochen to the ground, his hands grasping Lin Ruochen's neck. Lin Ruochen was originally a delicate girl, how could she withstand the torture of a Shandong strong man? In a short while, Lin Ruochen's face turned purple and was about to pass out.

  "Damn it, stop!" Seeing this scene, Qin Feng's stomach was about to burst with anger. He immediately kicked out a foot, wanting to kick Dahei away. To say that Qin Feng's kick was the most forceful one in his life, he had gone all out for the woman he loved. But just as he kicked out, Dahei didn't budge an inch. With a ferocious expression, he turned his head and glared at Qin Feng, then suddenly pounced on him.

  "What's going on? How did it suddenly turn into a fight!" Manager Liu had just arrived and found himself in this situation, watching Qin Feng and Da Hei exchanging blows, and was stunned.

  "You beast, you're already over thirty and still so vicious!" Qin Feng cursed while dodging Da Hei's attacks.

  But Da Hei's response was one that made Qin Feng suddenly panic. "You scoundrel, I've finally found you!"

  It's the vengeful spirit Zhang!

  No wonder Da Hei would attack Lin Ruochen without reason, it was because the vengeful spirit had possessed Da Hei's body and its strength was even greater than before. In no time at all, Qin Feng was pinned to the ground, with both hands tightly grasping his throat, seeking revenge for a past grievance.

  "You're really that vengeful spirit, you beast! Stop it!" Qin Feng shouted with all his might.

  "Make me stop? You want to use Array Confusion Path, now is the time for tit for tat." As he spoke, that vengeful spirit borrowed Da Hei's fist and swung it heavily towards Qin Feng's cheek.

  Lin Ruochen came to her senses at this time, saw Qin Feng like this, and immediately wanted to go forward to stop him. She took out a talisman from her bag that Qin Feng had left for her the night he returned from the hospital, and learned to stick it on the back of his black head.

  Just as Qin Feng's life was in danger, Lin Ruochen saved him at the critical moment. The talisman really worked, and after being stuck to Da Hei's head, it seemed to be sucked onto his face tightly. Taking advantage of Da Hei's daze, Qin Feng quickly escaped, panting heavily, and then took out a talisman paper from his bag, bit his right middle finger, and started drawing.
