After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 57

After finishing these two busy days, Bai Lu had some free time. That day, after finishing her meal, she was absorbing the essence of the sun and moon on the rooftop, with Bai Wei and Bai Chen sitting on either side of her.

Suddenly, Bailu's phone rang, startling the two of them: "Who is it, calling in the middle of the night!"

Bai Lu clicked his tongue and said, "No wonder your cultivation hasn't progressed at all! You haven't even entered a meditative state!"

She picked up her phone; the contact name was "Director Wang." Bai Lu raised an eyebrow: "Director Wang?"

"Hey, it's me, Master, good evening!"

Director Wang smiled apologetically on the other end of the phone. Perhaps because he was in a hurry, he cut to the chase without exchanging pleasantries: "I'm sorry to bother you so late, but a friend of mine has run into a very difficult situation. Could you come and take a look?"

Bai Lu did not agree immediately, but asked for the friend's detailed information. This person was a well-known real estate developer in China, and his information could be found on Baidu Baike.

Bai Lu looked at the man's face, did some divination, and finally looked at the two enemies beside her who, although they had already cultivated, were still as blank as blank sheets of paper. In the end, she agreed: "Wait for me at the construction site where the accident happened at eight o'clock tomorrow!"

"good good good good!"

Director Wang hurriedly replied, "Thank you so much, Master! We'll be waiting for you, Master!"

He turned to his friend and said, "The master didn't ask anything, but he knew something happened at your construction site! Go early tomorrow, don't keep the master waiting. And let me tell you, don't bring the master's colleagues, just the two of us. The master likes to keep a low profile."

As expected of a renowned director, Director Wang's portrayal of Bai Lu's personality was quite accurate.

My friend nodded: "Hopefully it can be resolved quickly, otherwise the land we went through so much trouble to acquire will become a wasteland. But—it's already eleven o'clock, are you sure the master can make it here tomorrow morning?"

"Of course! The master is incredibly skilled, otherwise I wouldn't have sent someone to cause trouble at this time!"

……

"You're quite busy with work, aren't you, sister!"

As soon as Bai Lu hung up the phone, Bai Chen came up to her with a pitiful look on his face: "Can you take me with you on your business trip?"

Life is really tiring.

When I was working, I was treated like an animal in the factory.

When they go home, they work like oxen and horses in the fields.

Finishing your studies means becoming a beast of burden!

Even if you cultivate immortality, you'll still be a beast of burden!

They're all just cattle and horses anyway!

Bai Chen was almost losing sight of the meaning of his cultivation. Did he think that cultivating meant becoming a beast of burden?

These cows and horses are really interesting!
It didn't seem out of place at all for someone in their twenties to act cute. Bai Lu patted his dog head and said, "Take you out! It's time to show you guys what it's like!"

"Take me with you too?!"

Bai Wei was overjoyed: "Tell us quickly, what kind of world is this? Are we going to see ghosts?!"

A few days ago, when Aunt Hua mentioned Aunt Jiao's mother, she wanted to meet her!
No, here's a chance!
"Yes, we're going to see ghosts!"

The egret burst out laughing: "Maybe we'll see something else too."

Bai Wei's eyes lit up: "What other? A demon?"

"You'll know tomorrow."

Bai Chen was extremely anxious: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Go away! That's the capital. I'm going to take the Ghost Path. With your level of cultivation, trying to take the Ghost Path at night? Do you want to be dragged away by ghosts?"

Bai Chen was speechless: "You're saying this so late at night..."

Egret, hands on hips: "What did I say wrong?"

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right!"

……

The next morning, when Qin Xiu learned that Bai Lu was going to take Bai Wei and Bai Chen out for a few days, she surprisingly did not object.

"Hmph, I knew you three couldn't stay home. Go ahead, just remember to come back before the rice seedlings are transplanted!"

They didn't even ask where we were going!
She knew that Bailu had money and could go wherever she wanted!
Qin Xiu noticed that her body was slowly getting better, she was becoming more gentle, and her tolerance for certain things was also increasing.

"It's unbelievable! Your mom didn't nag us about wasting money going out to play!"

Bai Chen was shocked.

"Because we made money!"

Undeniably, money is a wonderful thing; it can change many people and many things.

Bai Lu swayed her sleeves lightly, made hand seals, and chanted incantations that Bai Wei and Bai Chen couldn't understand. The two of them felt a chill beside them, and a dark cave appeared out of thin air.

"Sis, can't others see it?"

"Don't worry, I've used a concealment talisman to hide us. Even if someone walks past us, they won't see us or hear us—let's go!"

"Huh?" Bai Wei's hands trembled. "We just go in like this? Don't we need to take any precautions? There are a lot of ghosts inside!"

However, it was her first time walking the ghost path, and she was a little scared!

"Don't worry, you won't see any ghosts during the day!"

Bai Lu said, "Didn't you hear what Master Qingxu said last time? The underworld is cooperating with our mortal world, and the path they're using isn't the Yellow Springs Road, but a rarely used side road. There are fewer ghosts during the day, so as long as the insomniac ghosts don't wander around and you don't wander around, you basically have no chance of meeting!"

Bai Wei felt relieved, but she still tugged at Bai Lu's sleeve and went inside. As soon as they stepped in, a chill swept over them, and the two instinctively rubbed their arms: "It really is like the underworld, so cold! Look at all these goosebumps!"

White Egret: "...This is yin energy. Brothers and sisters, don't you know to protect yourselves with spiritual energy? Do we have to teach you this?"

"Why are you throwing a tantrum? We've been living ordinary lives for over twenty years, and we're still not used to our new identities!"

The two quickly mobilized their spiritual energy, and soon the chilling sensation disappeared.

This is a dark and gloomy stone path that seems to stretch endlessly into the distance. On both sides of the road are planted spider lilies, which bloom with an unusually alluring beauty.

"This is the legendary red spider lily..."

Bai Chen and Bai Wei were very curious about everything, looking around, but because they knew nothing about the underworld, they dared not touch anything. Otherwise, they would have loved to pick up a couple of clumps of mud from the roadside and mold them. But before they could even reach out, a flash of white light appeared, and they arrived in the capital, appearing on an open space piled with building materials. Not far away, two buildings were already under construction.

Bai Chen stumbled: "What the hell! We're here? That was way too fast!"

From white to black and back to white, it's just a matter of talking, from the west city to the capital!
Even a rocket couldn't keep up with this speed!
How long do you think it will take?

Bai Lu patted his shoulder: "This is the first thing you've seen in the world—the journey to the underworld cannot be defined by the journey to the human world. Once you enter the underworld, you only need to think about where you want to go. Once the thought flashes by, you'll arrive at your destination, unless you deliberately linger in the underworld."

Bai Chen was about to say something when he suddenly heard a deep voice shout, "Master?!"

Although the appointment was for eight o'clock, Director Wang and a slightly overweight middle-aged man were already waiting on the vacant land where construction had stopped, around seven o'clock.

This land is now in the suburbs, an area planned for development by the government but not yet developed. It is sparsely populated, and during the half hour they waited, not a single person was seen. Thinking about what had happened on this land, the two grown men almost huddled together.

Why did they come so early?

As I was looking around, I suddenly saw three people appear out of nowhere!
This brought Director Wang back to the night he dreamt of the female ghost!

Master Egret appeared out of nowhere and saved them from dire straits.

He quickly pulled the chubby boy forward to greet them: "Master, you've arrived! And who are these two?"

These two look even younger than Bai Lu, could they also be masters?
Are kids these days all this amazing?

No, did the master foresee that this matter would be too troublesome today, so he found a helper in advance?

Oh my god!
How to do!
I should have brought more people!
Although it's not very useful!

But it can give you courage!

Director Wang was filled with regret!

"They're here to broaden their horizons." Bailu didn't mention that these were her younger siblings; what older sister comes out to work with her family in tow?

Bai Wei and Bai Chen, mimicking Bai Lu's aloof and sage-like demeanor, nodded slightly to Director Wang.

"Huh? To broaden your horizons?"

After speaking, Director Wang realized he had been somewhat impolite and quickly shut his mouth, laughing awkwardly twice: "Master, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Wang Jian, the developer of this land, and this is Master Bailu! Whether your land problem can be resolved depends on Master Bailu's intervention!"

That's quite a compliment...

Bai Lu chuckled lightly: "Hello, Mr. Wang. Director Wang, you flatter me too much. I'd better see how things go first."

"Master Bai, please!" Wang Jian hurriedly replied.

He wouldn't dare to neglect someone who deserves such high regard from Brother Wang just because she's young.

Bai Lu's current ability to observe qi is average, but the yin energy on this ground is so dense that it is visible to the naked eye. She walked towards the center of the yin energy, where a small pit was dug. To ordinary people, it was just an ordinary small pit, but in Bai Lu's eyes, yin energy was continuously emanating from the center of the pit.

Bailu said, "You've had someone check it out, right? There's something down there."

"Yes, yes, yes! You are indeed a master. You saw it at a glance. I have consulted many people, but only one master said there is something under this location. However, whether it is people or machines digging, they can only dig out a pit that is less than one meter wide and no more than thirty centimeters deep! It is impossible to dig any deeper. We can't force it. We have already broken three excavators."

Wang Jian sighed with a worried expression.

He poured a lot of effort into this land, and things were going well at first, but suddenly many problems arose during the development of this area.

First, accidents occurred frequently on the construction site. Workers suffered minor injuries at first, then serious injuries, and then the excavator went out of control, speeding up to 60 miles per hour and directly crushing and killing two workers!
Then, the sales of his other properties plummeted. Strangely, on the same day, buyers of the properties that had already been sold demanded refunds. Some even came back after ten years, as if they were deliberately causing trouble.

Even a fool would know something was wrong, so he quickly contacted the feng shui master who worked with their group. But when the master came and took one look, he said he couldn't handle it and that he had to find someone else.

But after contacting many people and spending a lot of money, the problem remained unresolved.

The most terrifying thing is that a building in the next district, which was about to be topped out, collapsed yesterday evening when the workers were finishing up.

More than 30 workers who hadn't had time to leave were all trapped inside; only eight were rescued, and only two were unharmed.

When he received the call from the project manager, his mind went completely blank!
He happened to be with Wang Chuan, who is Director Wang. After hearing about it, Wang Chuan said he would introduce him to a master, but he was in a hurry to get to the hospital and also in a hurry to contact the company's legal department, so he didn't give him a definite answer. By the time the emergency meeting came up with a solution, it was already late at night, and that's when he remembered Wang Chuan.

The egret shook its head: "You can't dig like that. There are nine coffins down there, and the owners inside won't allow you to disturb their final resting place!"

"What! Nine...?"

Wang Jian curled his index finger and widened his eyes.

He had considered the possibility that there was a cemetery below, but he never imagined there would be nine coffins!
Bai Lu nodded: "Yes, nine coffins, one main burial chamber, and eight accompanying tombs."

Director Wang gasped in shock: "What kind of family has eight burial tombs?"

Bai Lu's eyes were deep: "The rich family's playboy, who bullied men and women and squandered money like water in his life, was no better after death. Because he couldn't be buried in the ancestral grave, his father chose a feng shui treasure land for him to nurture his soul and corpse. But even as a ghost, he was restless and committed too many evils, so he was suppressed."

"Times have changed, and this piece of land is now in Boss Wang's hands. Every inch of it is precious. The pit that the workers dug just happened to destroy the array's core. Even ordinary ghosts that have been suppressed for hundreds of years are filled with resentment. Not to mention a spoiled brat who is inherently wicked. As soon as he is free, he immediately commits evil. The more evil he does, the stronger his energy becomes, and the greater his destructive power."

Wang Jian steadied himself: "Master, do you mean that the problems that have occurred in my other properties are definitely related to the owner of this tomb?"

"Yes." The egret nodded.

"why!"

Wang Jian couldn't accept it: "No, this land is mine, I'm the one who started the construction, I'm the one who dug up his grave, why did he come looking for me! Why did he have to cause all this trouble! The building collapsing is one thing, but the twenty-eight people who died... that's twenty families, what about their families...?"

Wang Jian spoke through gritted teeth.

He was a complete nouveau riche. His ancestors' graves were buried in good places, and his poor village was demolished, so he was given money and houses, making the whole village rich overnight.

He was working as a project manager for a real estate company at the time. The project failed, and the boss was about to abscond. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he took over the project and then everything went smoothly for him, and he grew the business into a large and successful company.

But he had also experienced poverty, having worked on construction sites for a long time, and he knew all too well the importance of his workers in a family.

Construction work is tough. Who among those who can endure it doesn't have elderly parents and young children to support?

Of the 28 people who died, two were unmarried young people, sixteen were men in their forties, and five were couples...

Why should they suffer this undeserved calamity?!

"How do you know he didn't contact you?" Bailu gestured for him to look at the jade bracelet on his wrist: "With this, the person in the coffin can't hurt you, so he had to find another way to vent his anger."

Wang Jian was taken aback and subconsciously fiddled with the beads of the jade bracelet. It was a string of yellow jade, about the thickness of a finger and of uniform size, which was rare.
