The image shows a sparkling ruby.

Ning Chen: "Ruby?"

Ning Zhongze: "Isn't this a talisman? This..."

March 7th: "Uncle Long, what's going on? Not only was the red envelope sent to the wrong person, but the contents were also misplaced?"

Jackie Chan: "Damn it! This isn't the Snake Talisman! Oh my god! I might have taken the wrong one... Right, it must be that female thief!"

While stealing the snake charm from the museum, he encountered a female thief who was also there to steal something.

The female thief's target was the ruby.

In the chaos of their escape, the two grabbed each other's bags.

This is the only possibility.

Ning Chen: "No need to rush, just take your time looking."

After apologizing repeatedly, Jackie Chan logged off and went to sleep, planning to meet that female thief again tomorrow.

……

Jiuquan Town.

Uncle Nine received a message from Ning Chen.

When he learned that Si Mu and his two apprentices had been rescued,

I breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Sitting in the simple room, Uncle Nine had two disciples standing in front of him.

There was a male apprentice named Ah Xing and a female apprentice named Xiao Yue.

Ah Xing practices both martial arts and Maoshan Taoist arts, while Xiao Yue only practices Taoist arts.

"Master, how are Wencai and Qiusheng?"

Ah Xing peeked out, trying to steal a peek at the contents of the letter.

"If even with your junior uncle's help, they still can't be saved, then me going there would only be suicide."

Uncle Nine glared at him, then said,

"Don't worry, they're fine. They were just injured and are now recuperating at home."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue's face lit up with a delighted smile. "That's wonderful!"

Outside, on the main street, a bustling sound could be heard.

Uncle Nine suppressed his smile and walked towards the door.

Not far from the door, next to a Western-style building, a group of people were clearing away the surrounding weeds.

Under the direction of an elderly man in a blue robe, they worked with great enthusiasm.

"What happened?"

Uncle Nine frowned and walked up to them, followed closely by Ah Xing and Xiao Yue.

"I've said before that the best outcome would be for this Western-style church to be abandoned. What are you planning now?"

Uncle Nine asked in a deep voice.

The mayor then agreed that the church would not reopen in the short term.

However, there were always people around the church behind the scenes, sometimes painting the walls, sometimes clearing weeds.

This left him with a lingering sense of unease.

“Uncle Jiu, I know you don’t like Western things, but reopening the church is the mayor’s idea.”

The old man had a long neck and an unyielding, argumentative look.

"Who calls the shots in Jiuquan Town, you or the town mayor?"

"I'll go find the mayor right now."

Uncle Jiu looked grim and strode quickly toward the mayor's house.

However, the mayor's housekeeper said that the mayor was not at home recently.

Left with no other choice, Uncle Nine returned to his residence.

"Master, why exactly do you want to stop them from reopening the church?"

Ah Xing scratched his head. His master had never been so nosy before.

Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at him and said:

"Of course, we're afraid they'll steal our jobs! If everyone starts believing in foreign gods and spirits..."

Who would still come to us to exorcise ghosts and demons?

Hearing his two apprentices arguing, Uncle Nine felt even more annoyed.

He explained casually:

"Our Maoshan Taoist lineage has never cared about incense offerings. As long as there is peace in the world, what does it matter if there are fewer incense offerings?"

Maoshan only cares about the struggle between good and evil; everything else is trivial.

"Ah... I don't understand either. Why is Master stopping them like this?"

Xiaoyue spat out the snake's head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

It seems that she herself has a narrow perspective.

"Do you know that the location of that foreign temple is the most evil of the three evil positions in the entire Jiuquan town?!"

Uncle Nine sighed deeply, seemingly powerless.

"Jiuquan Town was originally built on a mass grave, where yin energy thrives and evil spirits abound."

The Three Killings position is a place where malevolent energy gathers; it was already brimming with malevolent energy twenty years ago, and now it is an even more ominous death ground.

"That's so strange!? Then... Master, how come the town has been able to live in peace all these years?" Ah Xing asked.

Although Jiuquan Town is not as prosperous as Renjia Town, it is still thriving and rarely plagued by evil spirits.

Uncle Nine nodded slightly, seemingly acknowledging his disciple's insight.

He explained, "The Three Killings position gathers the evil energy of Jiuquan Town. As long as this position is not damaged, its existence is not a bad thing, but a great thing."

Because the Three Killings positions absorb the evil energy of Jiuquan Town, Jiuquan Town is very peaceful.

Xiaoyue suddenly understood, "I understand, Master. If the church reopens, the Three Evil Positions will be destroyed! Then the evil energy will appear in Jiuquan Town, and it will be haunted, causing chaos and unrest!"

Ah Xing was secretly surprised; he hadn't realized there was this other connection.

"Unable to gather malevolent energy, ghosts and monsters have sprung up... If only it were that simple."

Uncle Nine said in a deep voice, "Once the church is rebuilt, the evil energy accumulated over the past twenty years will be released. If we're not careful, it could even destroy the entire town!"

Beneath Jiuquan Town, there were already a large number of dead souls and vengeful spirits.

The resentment accumulated over the past twenty years has snowballed and has now reached a terrifying level.

Once the Three Killings position is broken, the consequences are no different from a flash flood or a river bursting its banks.

That's not something that can be quelled by sacrificing dozens or hundreds of lives; the lightest consequence would be the destruction of the entire town...

Uncle Nine's brows were furrowed with worry, and he seemed to have aged considerably in an instant.

He walked away slowly, leaving his two apprentices stunned.

After listening to Uncle Nine's words, Ah Xing's clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Xiaoyue's teeth were chattering, and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

If what Master said is true, reopening the church would be tantamount to sending the entire town into a fire pit...

Uncle Nine came into the room alone; this was the first time he had ever performed divination since he began his Taoist practice.

Dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a peach wood sword, his face was stern as he stared intently at the stagnant hexagram.

"The rise and fall between the Xun and Kan trigrams... Bloodshed follows, the land turns white and red, a great calamity..."

Uncle Nine stared blankly at the divination chart in his hand.

"I cannot reverse this situation... Even if I give it my all, the world will still be plunged into chaos..."

"Even a celestial master cannot reverse it..."

"An irreversible... certain death..."

"The Celestial Masters of the Maoshan lineage..."

Suddenly.

Uncle Nine's eyes suddenly lit up, and he murmured:

"Junior brother...yes, my junior brother must have a way!"
