Chapter 8: The Three Talents Evil Formation

  "What does Mr. Gao need? Just speak up." Yao Xue hastily replied.

  "Pure black dog blood in a basin, a god statue from the Taoist temple that has been offered incense for over ten years, and also, I need nine pieces of white jade, the whiter and more flawless the better."

  "Is that all?" Yao Xue asked.

  Jiang Le nodded and said, "For now, these are all we need."

  "Alright, I'll go right away." Yao Xue said as she stood up and quickly left, her daughter Wei Jia following closely behind her.

  Jiang Le looked at Wei Guodong again and said with a playful tone, "Old man, evil techniques can't be performed without someone to cooperate with, we should also take action now."

  Wei Guodong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly: "You can be the master, I'd like to see who is eating inside and peeling outside."

  Jiang Le stood up and took a step forward, walking out first.

  Strolling around the pavilions and buildings, Jiang Le walked very casually, but his mind was always sensing the dead air in this mansion.

  From a feng shui perspective, there are three major sources of dead energy in the house, which continuously emit dead energy and surround the entire house in a triangular shape.

  This omen is mentioned in the Golden House's "Explanation of the Way", it is called "Three Talents Gather Yin" and means to capture the soul and take one's life.

  However, in the eyes of the Jin family, this formation is actually beneath contempt, as it doesn't consume spiritual energy and doesn't have any greater, more terrifying consequences. It's a sinister technique that only an inferior cultivator would use to harm others.

  It seems that in this world, truly formidable cultivators have become even rarer. Even among those who are active, they are all unrefined individuals wandering outside the gate.

  Walking to a beautiful flowerbed, Jiang Le turned around and looked at Wei Guodong and others who were following behind him, smiling: "The only thing that can continuously produce dead air is a corpse. To harm people, human corpses are the best. Old master, find someone to dig up this flowerbed."

  "Is this a dead body? And it's still a corpse!" Wei Guodong's eyes flashed with a fierce and terrifying light.

  Jiang Le nodded and said: "Not bad, but there's only one place here, there are two more." After finishing speaking, Jiang Le suddenly looked in a strange direction with an eerie gaze, shouting: "Come out?"

  Wei Guodong and others suddenly turned around and looked over.

  A figure hastily emerged, a man in his forties with half-white hair and an honest face, wearing a grey housekeeper's uniform. He ran over respectfully and said anxiously: "Master, it's time to take your medicine."

  When he saw the man, Wei Guodong's face relaxed, and then frowned: "Take medicine after eating, you go find some people to dig up this flower pot."

  The white-haired man seemed startled and looked at the flower bed with a difficult expression, saying: "Sir, this was planted by the lady herself when she was alive. I'm afraid it's not suitable to dig it up."

  "Wei Guodong said: 'Don't worry about this, just call someone over.'"

  "But..."

  "But if we dig here, the Three Talents Evil Formation will lose its effect, right?" Jiang Le suddenly interjected, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light.

  The white-haired man's hanging fingers trembled slightly, but his face was puzzled and asked: "What did this young master say? I don't understand?"

  Jiang Le smiled: "Don't worry if you don't understand, calling someone to dig up the flower bed will make sense, right?"

  Wei Guodong's eyes flashed, and he looked at the white-haired man: "Wei Jinfeng, you also dare to defy my words?"

  An old man with white hair, Wei Jinfu, hastily bowed and trembled with fear: "I dare not, sir. I'll go call someone right away."

  Watching Wei Jinfu hurry away, Wei Guodong turned to Jiang Le and asked with a gloomy face: "Is he the traitor?"

  "Very suspicious, and the death aura on his body is even heavier than that of Old Master."

  Wei Guodong was taken aback: "The aura of death on his body is even heavier than mine, how could he be a traitor?"

  "Is that so? Well, old master will find out soon enough, but for now, I can't make a move on him. I need some time to crack this evil spell."

  "Alright, I'll listen to your orders, young friend." Wei Guodong nodded with a difficult expression.

  Wei Jinfu soon brought three sturdy young men and directed them to dig up the flower bed.

  Just now dug a pit, emitting a foul odor, making everyone present look ugly.

  Especially Wei Guodong, whose old hands were all clenched with white joints.

  Being harmed by others, even setting up evil spells in one's own home without knowing it, if not for Jiang Le's appearance today, the Wei family would probably have been destroyed by their own hands.

  This grudge cannot be easily let go of.

  The hole was dug deeper and deeper, and soon a severed arm was exposed.

  Upon seeing the rotting arm, the three young men digging the pit couldn't help but turn pale and cover their mouths, on the verge of vomiting.

  "Is someone really dead?" Zhang Guixin gasped, his eyes wide with shock.

  "How detestable! If I find out who did this, they will wish they were dead!" Wei Jiaming was both shocked and enraged, his eyes turned red with anger, clenching his fists in a vow.

  "Little friend, where are the other two bodies?" Wei Guodong asked with an expressionless face.

  Jiang Le smiled and pointed to another water pool edge and a corner of a wing room wall, and indeed, more corpses were dug out.

  Although the three corpses had long since rotted beyond recognition, they were still identifiable as female.

  "The person who wants to harm the Wei family has set up a formation using the Three Talents Gathering Yin technique. The Three Talents originally belong to the Eight Trigrams, with Taiji giving birth to yin and yang, which in turn transform into the Three Talents, forming a balanced path. However, within this Three Talents formation, they have placed a female corpse, gathering together evil yin energy and deathly aura, causing yin to flourish and yang to decline, thus forming an evil array."

  "Now that we've found the female corpse, can't we crack the case?" Wei Jiaming asked, his expression no longer showing the disdain and mockery of before.

  Now everything indicates that someone is indeed using evil magic against the Wei family, and towards this, Wei Jiaming only feels bitter and ashamed in his heart.

  Jiang Le nodded and said, "Taking out the corpse and using black dog blood to drive away evil can indeed dissolve this three-talent evil array. However, since the evil array has been running for so long, the dead energy that had previously gathered cannot be driven away and will require another method."

  "What's going on?" Zhang Guixin asked.

  "Two things, first, change the geomantic momentum of the mansion from 'earthly prison' to 'heavenly seal', then I will set up the Nine Palaces Locking Yang Array to condense wealth and nobility. Second, eliminate the root source of evil energy."

  "What is the root of evil?" The crowd raised an eyebrow.

  Jiang Le glanced at Wei Jinfeng, who was lowering his head in silence, and smiled: "The so-called evil spirit root is the eye of the evil array. Generally, the eye of the evil array is best accompanied by ancient artifacts. The luxurious ones use ritual instruments as the eye of the array. However, I observed the entire mansion, but didn't find this kind of thing."

  "None? That means there's no Array Eye anymore?" Zhang Guixin said in astonishment.

  "Wrong," Jiang Ley shook his head, "any formation must have a formation eye, just like any machine needs an engine. This is fundamental. A formation without a formation eye is a useless formation."

  "Xiao Le, stop being mysterious and just say where the array is." Zhang Guixin said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

  "There's no ancient artifact or magical tool to serve as the array eye, so the only thing that can make this evil array work is using a person as the array eye. Humans are the spirits of all things, and as long as they're willing, the effect will be comparable to a magical tool."

  "What's wrong with you?"

  Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered what Jiang Le had said before, and their eyes all converged on Wei Jinfeng's silent figure.

  Wei Guodong's face twitched a few times, and he slowly opened his mouth: "Jinfah, you are also considered one of the younger generation of my Wei family, why do you want to do this?"
