When you encounter a weasel on the road asking for a title, appoint it as the Jade Emperor.

I left the residential area.

It wasn't completely dark yet.

Layers of sunset glow scattered down.

The air itself felt a bit cooler.

The streets of the commercial district.

We've also reached our busiest stage.

Groups of two or three female college students appeared.

The vibrant energy of youth is invigorating.

But once you leave the vicinity of the school.

It is absolutely impossible to see this scene.

Standing by the roadside.

Zhang Chuyu can be considered a landmark.

He wasn't too conspicuous before he wore his Taoist robe.

Now, with the Taoist robe on, his otherworldly aura is completely undeniable.

This attracted many people to take photos secretly.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before he saw a Vellfire drive up.

The car door opened.

Two women of similar age walked out from inside.

After seeing Zhang Chuyu.

One of the women paused slightly in surprise.

Then, an undisguised surprise appeared on his face.

"A Celestial Master!?"

Zhang Chuyu was also surprised.

"It's you!"

The person who arrived was none other than Chen Xue, the female anchor I had met that day.

She's not as unknown as she used to be.

These days, he has become a major internet celebrity with millions of followers.

"You...you are...that Zhang Tianshi from the internet!?"

The other woman also recognized Zhang Chuyu's identity at this moment.

A hint of joy appeared on her slightly tired face.

She reached out her hand.

"Greetings, Master Zhang! My name is Hu Lian. May I ask if you are the one who took on my family's business?"

"Yes." Zhang Chuyu shook hands with the girl.

Only then did he take a closer look at her.

The woman was about 1.68 meters tall and was wearing a loose T-shirt.

Her skin is very fair.

Her facial features are small and delicate.

This matched her somewhat tired expression.

There's a sense of pity about her.

"That's wonderful! Xiao Lian, since it was the Celestial Master who took over, your family's problems will definitely be resolved!"

Chen Xue, who was standing to the side, held her hand tightly.

Hu Lian nodded with a smile.

"Master, please get in the car first."

The three of them got into the car.

The driver stepped on the gas and headed towards Nanluo Town.

Chen Xue also briefly introduced their relationship to Zhang Chuyu.

Her family is from Nanluo Town, and she is Hu Lian's neighbor.

Although the Hu family's social standing was far beyond what her ordinary family could compare to.

However, this did not affect her relationship with Hu Lian at all.

After learning about the Hu family's situation.

She immediately went to Hu Lian's side to offer help.

"Master, we're really going to have to trouble you again this time."

Chen Xue stuck out her tongue.

Compared to the nervousness I felt the last time I met Zhang Chuyu.

She seemed much more relaxed today.

Zhang Chuyu shook her head.

"It's not troublesome at all. We cultivators have always taken it upon ourselves to subdue demons and monsters."

He looked at Hu Lian as he spoke.

Do you know anything about your family's situation?

Upon hearing this, Hu Lian's face showed even greater sadness.

"I'm not too clear on the specifics, I've been busy with the family business these days."

"After my great-grandfather's funeral, I rushed to Southeast Asia. I didn't receive any notification until the incident happened at home."

"I haven't even stepped into my ancestral home yet; I've only received some photos from the police..."

Hu Lian said this.

A hint of fear appeared in his expression.

"The content of the photos... is really quite cruel. I don't think it's something a normal person would do! After all, although our Hu family isn't a prestigious clan, we still have some resources... It's simply impossible for an ordinary person to kill hundreds of my family members in one night!"

"The police couldn't explain the deaths of my family members either. Finally, after my pleas, the person in charge of the case vaguely told me that my family's situation was... very strange, and gave me a website to ask for help."

Zhang Chuyu nodded slightly.

"Let me see the photos."

Hu Lian didn't dare to delay and quickly turned on her phone.

From a secret document.

He retrieved the photo album and handed it to Zhang Chuyu.

Zhang Chuyu took it and glanced at it.

awful!

That's really terrible!

The photo is filled with corpses!

It was clearly taken at the scene!

The strangest thing is...

So many corpses... yet there wasn't a single drop of blood on the ground!

All the corpses were in a state of shrunkenness.

Mouth wide open, eyes bulging.

The corpse looked as if it had been gnawed on by something.

The wound was gruesome and frightening.

"This is definitely not the work of a living person."

Upon hearing this...

Hu Lian hurriedly asked, "Master...can you tell what's causing this trouble?"

"It's not certain yet. We'll talk about it when we get to your ancestral home."

He already had a general idea in his mind.

However, we still need to go to the site to see for ourselves.

......

A full moon hangs in the sky, like a jade plate.

The car sped along the road out of the city.

More than an hour.

The car then arrived at the outskirts of Nanluo Town.

This is a small town surrounded by mountains.

It is summer.

Looking around, all you can see is greenery.

A gentle breeze was blowing.

Beside the town.

A spring flows from top to bottom.

It gathers and retains energy.

Arriving here, I felt much more at ease.

"The feng shui is good."

Zhang Chuyu gave a compliment.

"Master, you even know about feng shui!?"

Chen Xue, who was standing next to Zhang Chuyu, lit up when she heard what Zhang Chuyu said.

"I know a little bit."

Although he said he hadn't studied it seriously.

However, there are still many records about feng shui in the Celestial Master's Mansion.

I used to flip through quite a few of them when I was bored.

"Is there any explanation in our town?"

"nature."

Zhang Chuyu looked out the car window.

"The saying goes, 'Wind governs the population, and people govern wealth. If wind doesn't enter the house, the population won't prosper; if water doesn't reach the hall, wealth won't flourish.'"

"Your town is surrounded by mountains on three sides, which gathers wind and shelters water, making it an excellent feng shui location."

"If I'm not mistaken, over the years, this town has far surpassed ordinary villages and towns in terms of both population and wealth, not counting natural disasters and diseases."

"wrong..."

Zhang Chuyu's eyes suddenly narrowed at this moment.

The feng shui of this town was indeed quite good.

But when he looked towards the northeast.

They keenly detected a hint of malevolent energy!

The malevolent aura wasn't particularly strong, but it was unusually dense.

In this feng shui arrangement, it's like a rat dropping.

This completely destroyed this excellent feng shui arrangement.

"What place is that?"

Zhang Chuyu pointed in that direction.

The two women looked in the direction Zhang Chuyu was pointing.

Just one glance.

Hu Lian's pupils contracted.

"That location... seems to be my great-grandfather's burial site."

Um! ?

These words were spoken.

Zhang Chuyu fully understood what was going on.

"The cholera outbreak in your family will most likely be your great-grandfather's problem."

"My great-grandfather..."

Hu Lian was still puzzled.

"But...but when my great-grandfather passed away, he hired the best feng shui master in the southern province, and he chose the most outstanding 'dragonfly skimming water' burial site in this mountain."

"I've checked that too."

"This 'dragonfly skimming the water' burial site is an excellent location, capable of bringing blessings to future generations. How could such a mishap have occurred?"

Dragonfly skimming the water?

Zhang Chuyu's expression turned strange for a moment.

"Was your grandfather buried in the law?"

"Yes! It's a traditional funeral burial! Celestial Master, do you know about this 'Dragonfly Skimming Water' burial site?"

Zhang Chuyu nodded.

"The 'Dragonfly Skimming Water' burial site is 34 feet long, but only 4 feet are usable; it is 13 feet wide, but only 3 feet are usable. Therefore, the coffin cannot be buried flat; it must be buried according to the proper burial method."

"Celestial Masters... what are you talking about? What is a Buddhist funeral?"

Chen Xue was completely bewildered.

It makes absolutely no sense.

"The proper burial method is vertical burial. As the saying goes, if the ancestors are buried vertically, their descendants will surely prosper."

"This auspicious burial site should, in theory, be able to protect the Hu family for three generations."

"Now that I see it, it looks like someone has tampered with it."

"Otherwise, the tragedy of the Hu family wouldn't have happened."
