Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 68 Feng Shui Arrangement?

Tong Yu rolled away from Yue Xiaodao, clutching his severed arm as he looked toward the source of the sound.

When Tong Yu saw Chen Miao holding a bell, he even forgot the pain for a moment.

Isn't Chen Miao a worshipper of incense?

This ability... why does it look like corpse transport?
No one answered Tong Yu's question.

When Chen Miao discovered that the Corpse Control Bell could control Yue Xiaodao, he didn't care why. He threw the remaining two Spirit Suppression Talismans to Tong Yu, put the Corpse Control Bell aside, and opened the book.

At this moment, Yue Xiaodao's body was trembling. One corpse-controlling talisman could not support him for long. Even with two spirit-suppressing talismans, it would only delay the process.

Meanwhile, Chen Guokun was also in a state of anxiety.

Chen Guokun was clearly dominating Yue Na, but Yue Na was like an unkillable cockroach.

If things continue like this, when Chen Guokun is exhausted, the three people on the field will probably be wiped out just like in the book.

Chen Miao now only has two choices.

Alternatively, they could rush to that cabin and destroy everything inside.

Alternatively, open a book and find a solution there.

Chen Miao chose the second option.

Once the wooden house opened by itself, Chen Miao decided not to approach it rashly.

Therefore, at this point, he could only place his hopes on the contents of the book to see if there was a way out!
Immediately, Chen Miao activated the Ice Heart state, calming himself down.

At this point, panicking will only make things worse.

Chen Miao turned his gaze to the book and began to read quickly.

"..."

"Tong Yu, despite the risk of injury, inserted the corpse-controlling talisman into Yue Xiaodao's body."

"The moment the bell rang, Yue Xiaodao stopped!"

"Corpse control successful!"

"After my initial surprise came a deep sense of confusion: why was the Corpse Control Talisman able to successfully control Yue Xiaodao?"

Before I could think for long, Tong Yu made his move and rushed toward the small wooden house.

"Tong Yu wants to deal with Yue Na's original body to help Chen Guokun's side."

"But just as Tong Yu reached his hand into the cabin, he suddenly cried out in pain and took several steps back. I looked carefully and made sure that nothing had attacked Tong Yu."

"What exactly is it?"

"I pulled Tong Yu away from the vicinity of the cabin."

"Then, I saw Tong Yu's right arm, which had turned bruised, and when I touched it, I felt a familiar chill."

"Yin energy!"

"When I was drawing talismans, my palms were once eroded by yin energy, and the feeling was exactly the same as what Tong Yu felt on his arm!"

"But how much yin energy would be needed to cause such an instantaneous invasion?"

"After arriving here, I only sensed Yin energy from Yue Na and Yue Xiaodao's bodies; I didn't sense any other Yin energy anywhere else. Why did this happen after we approached the cabin?"

"Looking at that little cabin, my gut feeling told me there was something seriously wrong with it!"

"After thinking for a moment, I took out one of the only two talismans I had to dispel negative energy, activated it as I approached the cabin, and threw it inside."

"The talisman for exorcising evil spirits burned to ashes right before my eyes, but I didn't sense any change."

"The lack of change made me even more wary, so I immediately took out some incense sticks, ready to try and see if the Six Secrets of Subduing Truth could have any effect."

"What I didn't expect was that after I recited the incantation to ward off evil, the incense smoke split in two, with half rushing into the small wooden house and the other half rushing into the ground beneath it!"

At the same time, a large amount of black smoke billowed from Yue Xiaodao's body, and Yue Na's figure blurred for a moment.

"I can understand the changes in Yue Na's body, but why does Yue Xiaodao also seem to have been shocked?"

"Could it be..." "Just as I was pondering this, Yue Xiaodao broke free from the control of the Corpse Control Bell and rushed towards me. To my surprise, Yue Na also tried to abandon Chen Guokun and rushed towards me at the same time."

"Fortunately, Chen Guokun was quick-witted enough. After realizing that Tong Yu's arms were both useless, he rushed towards me, and at the same time blocked Yue Na and Yue Xiaodao!"

Without hesitation, I took out incense sticks and continued chanting the incantation to ward off evil spirits!

"As I chanted, the impact on Yue Na and Yue Xiaodao grew, while the pressure on Chen Guokun lessened."

"I thought it was all going to work out!"

"But as my incense sticks were used up one by one, and I recited the incantation again and again, until there were only four incense sticks left, Yue Na and Yue Xiaodao still performed just short, just short."

"I took a desperate gamble and recited it one last time."

"Unfortunately, luck didn't smile on me. Yue Na and Yue Xiaodao... were still just a little bit short."

"When I stopped chanting, Yue Na and Yue Xiaodao began to recover rapidly again. The peach wood sword in Chen Guokun's hand was broken by Yue Xiaodao, and all the peach talismans also shattered."

"In a moment of carelessness, Chen Guokun was stabbed in the chest by Yue Xiaodao's hands, and then Yue Na pounced on his face."

"Chen Guokun is dead!"

"Yue Na and Yue Xiaodao charged towards me and Tong Yu respectively."

"I ran a few steps, using all the skills I had, but in the end, I only died after Tong Yu."

"As I was dying, my body just happened to fall into the area where the cabin was located."

"In my last moments of consciousness, I only felt my whole body was ice cold."

"The yin energy is so strong!"

……

Footsteps sounded, and Chen Miao looked up to see Tong Yu heading towards the small wooden house.

"and many more!"

Chen Miao looked at Tong Yu and stopped him.

Tong Yu looked at Chen Miao.

"There's a problem there. Wait for me, let me think about it. Don't rush me!"

After Chen Miao stopped Tong Yu, the content of the book changed slightly, but the outcome remained the same.

With his mind racing, Chen Miao analyzed several key pieces of information that appeared in the book.

"First of all, the yin energy around that cabin is very strong, strong enough to harm people on its own, but outside the cabin, there is no feeling at all... Why?"

"Given my state of Yin energy, I shouldn't be unable to detect this. What could be causing this situation?"

"Also, why does the incantation for suppressing evil spirits float towards the ground after it's been recited? What's there?"

"If the one in the wooden house corresponds to Yue Na, then does that mean the one underground corresponds to Yue Xiaodao?"

"By the way, Yue Xiaodao can be controlled by the Corpse Control Talisman and the Corpse Control Bell. Could it be because Yue Xiaodao is a corpse?"

"Locust tree...wooden house...underground...corpse..."

Chen Miao frowned.

Looking up at the three locust trees not far away, watching their branches swaying in the breeze, and the shadows that defied logic and covered most of the backyard.

Three words suddenly popped into Chen Miao's mind!
"Feng Shui arrangement!?"

"So, Chen Guokun's initial deduction was wrong—no, not wrong, but half right!"

"Both of the latter possibilities that Chen Guokun mentioned actually exist!"

"There are people raising ghosts, and there are also feng shui arrangements!"
