Damn it, isn't this guy useless?

Why do you move so fast?

Looking at Luo Faqing's stern face, Sha LiFei couldn't help but curse in his heart, and at the same time felt vaguely worried.

Even the "Horse-Tying Post" method has been seen through, and those methods of deceiving people to escape may be useless.

The point is, they still don't know what happened.

Upon hearing Landlord Du's question, Wang Dao Xuan quickly glanced at Li Yan, only to see that the other person had his eyes slightly closed and his head lowered, as if he was asleep.

Even if the Daoist is good at cultivating qi, he can't help but panic in his heart. He strokes his beard and frowns and says, "Landlord Du, there are some situations that we need to understand more."

"Hahaha..."

Luo Faqing sneered, "You dare to come to your door without knowing the situation, and you talk shamelessly and use charlatanism to deceive you."

"Xuanmen's face has been completely disgraced by people like you!"

Sha LiFei never loses his words, so he immediately sarcastically said, "Hey, isn't this the Daoist Luo from that night? Why, you just lost to us in a battle of wits, and you forgot about it today?"

"Who is talking so shamelessly?"

"Be bold!"

Luo Faqing suddenly became furious and slapped the back of the chair fiercely, "Who do you think you are? You are dirty things. Don't think that with Shen SanYou's backing, I won't dare to kill you!"

Aroused by the murderous intent of the other party, Sha LiFei felt frightened, but still gritted his teeth and prepared to reply.

He understood that Luo Faqing did this on purpose. If they were frightened away by this today, it would spread throughout Chang'an Xuanmen tomorrow.

Chang'an But there is Enforcement Hall who kills people in broad daylight. Even Shang Mountain Dharma Lineage would not act like this.

At this moment, Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes, stopped Sha LiFei, and looked at Luo Faqing with a calm expression, "Daoist Luo should not stir up trouble here."

"You are incapable of solving the problem yourself, and you act like a villain. That's the real bad guy!"

"Oh, what a loud tone!"

Luo Faqing was very happy, "What does a newbie know? Okay, you can tell me what to do."

"Oh, it's difficult..."

Li Yan sighed and turned to look at Wang Dao Xuan, "Daoist Master, you saw on the road that this Dripping Marrow Formation was dirty, why didn't you just tell me directly?"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Faqing and Landlord Du changed their expressions at the same time.

Wang Dao Xuan has studied Feng Shui and disaster relief methods for many years and has been seeking Daoism for many years. He also knows a little about other Daoist Daoism, but he just suffers from Divine Ability. He is like a blind man touching an elephant when encountering things, often making mistakes.

After being prompted by Li Yan and combining it with something he had heard before, he suddenly made a guess. He felt bitter in his heart, but his face remained calm and his heart did not beat. He sighed, shook his head and said, "Alas~ It's not a poor thing to hide."

"This Daoist Luo is right. If we don't have enough strength, we really can't handle this matter, so I'll say goodbye and leave."

Saying this means retreat.

Li Yan Although he was confused, he did not refute.

Wang Dao Xuan said clearly that they couldn't see it, and they didn't hesitate to give in. This means that things here are really difficult to handle, and it would be better to leave early.

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, Landlord Du suddenly stood up, folded his hands into fists and bent down deeply, "Everyone, I am blind and ignorant of Mount Tai, please forgive me."

Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "Landlord Du, Non-Self and others are just pretending. This matter really cannot be done."

"I understand."

Landlord Du sighed, "But it is about the lives of the clan members. Please stay a few more days and think of a solution. No matter what the situation is, generous gifts will be given to you and I will never let you work in vain."

"Steward Wang, clean up Chong'er's yard and let a few gentlemen live there. They must be well entertained..."

"Yes, sir."

Steward Wang saw that Li Yan and others were really capable. He was relieved and said with a flattering face, "Everyone, please come with me."

With that said, he gave Zhao Jiu a wink.

Zhao Jiu also advised, "Young Hero Li, you see it's getting late, why don't we stay here first?"

Having said this, Li Yan and the others could not refute, and under the leadership of Steward Wang, they left the main hall.

Luo Faqing on the side had already looked ugly. As soon as the few people left, he said, "Landlord Du, these people are really average in ability. They have no Dharma lineage Ancestral Altar. They are hereditary. The Daoism is no more than two stories high..."

"I know."

Landlord Du interrupted him directly and sighed, "They can see the problem at a glance, so they must have some skills. The old man has no choice but to become a living doctor."

"Furthermore, Daoist Luo doesn't have to say anything. If Mister Yue has a way to solve this matter, why hide away and let you handle this matter?"

"This..."

Luo Faqing blushed and was speechless.

"Everyone, right in front!"

Steward Wang led the way diligently and said with a flattering face, "That is the yard of the second young master He Chong. The second young master goes out to sea with the boat all the year round. I miss you very much."

"This yard is often tidied up on weekdays. I really respect you all..."

He kept chattering, but none of the Li Yan three took him seriously.

If they hadn't seen something fishy and wanted to ask someone for help, I'm afraid this Landlord Du would have given them a show of strength by now.

"Oh, everyone."

Zhao Jiu, a dental practitioner who had been following him, suddenly spoke with an apologetic look on his face, "There is also my second uncle here, Third Aunt. It took a lot of effort to get here. I have to come and see the old man, so I will leave first."

After saying that, he cupped his hands, turned around and left.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he was used to watching people's actions and had already smelled danger, so he escaped in advance.

Sha LiFei cursed secretly but ignored it.

This is what most old people in the world do. If there is an advantage, they will take advantage of it, if there is a big brother, they will worship it, and if there is danger, they will hide.

Steward Wang also pretended not to see it and led the three of them into the small courtyard.

Sure enough, this yard is very clean and elegant.

After helping several people arrange their rooms, Steward Wang said with a flattering smile, "Everyone has come a long way, please rest first. I will order someone to prepare hot water, wine and food for you."

After that, he carefully closed the door and left.

As soon as he left, Sha LiFei jumped to the door and looked again and again, then made a gesture and asked if he could speak.

Li Yan pinched Mystical Gestures, took a deep breath, and realized that no one was eavesdropping nearby, then turned around and said, "Daoist Master, what's going on?"

"It's a bit troublesome."

Wang Dao Xuan shook his head slightly, "Did you gain access to the gods just now? Tell me what you saw first."

Li Yan naturally knows about things that can communicate with gods.

Mass Burial Grounds Mountain God, Medicine King Temple Tiger Daoist... It was Li Yan who found a way to break the situation with the help of the Gou ultimatum.

"This house is indeed not simple."

Li Yan shook his head slightly and said, "The Feng Shui pattern of the Yangzhai, just as the Daoist priest said, is amazing. It can actually form a situation similar to that of a Daoist temple."

"Actually, I had a reaction to the ultimatum before I entered the house. Later, when I entered the main hall and saw the ancestor's tablet, I immediately had a reaction and saw a scene..."

"It was a lotus-shaped Bagua bowl-shaped throne. There was an old man sitting inside, wearing a dead man's clothes, with a pale face, staring straight at me. That look... didn't look human at all!"

"Also, some black mucus dripped from his head, and his whole body was stained, even the jade bowl was no exception."

"I left in time and remembered what the Daoist Master had said before, so I reminded him to take a gamble."

"As expected!"

Wang Dao Xuan tugged at his beard and frowned. "This Du family really dares to do anything for Prosperity."

"Generally speaking, it takes time for the Dripping Marrow Formation trend to form. After all, good luck gathers little by little, and it will take ten years for the blessings to reach the descendants. But there is also a secret method that can speed up the process."

"If Pindao's guess is correct, they must have secretly moved the bones of their ancestors and buried them outside the large tombs around Haojing City. If they were bolder, they might even occupy the dove's nest and bury them in the tombs of ancient Zhou nobles."

Li Yan frowned slightly, "This kind of thing is also useful."

"Of course ordinary ones won't work."

Wang Dao Xuan shook his head and said, "But this is Dripping Heaven Marrow. They used the bones of their ancestors to speed up the process."

Li Yan suddenly realized, "Is there something wrong with this method?"

Wang Dao Xuan shook his head, "No, this method is dangerous, but there is also a safe method, which is to perform rituals every seven years, every leap year, to drive away the evil spirits and resentment contaminated in the ancestors' tombs."

"It was fine at first, but something big happened a while ago. You should be able to think of it."

Li Yan Spiritual Light flashed in his mind, "Ancient Zhou Tomb was stolen!"

"Hmm."

Wang Dao Xuan nodded and said, "These tomb robbers used a lot of explosives. The tomb of the Ancestor of the Du Family should be nearby, and the energy in the tomb was vented by the impact."

"Moving graves and moving earth has always been a matter of quietness rather than movement. What's more, in such a dangerous situation, the outbreak of ancestors' grievances will inevitably bring harm to the descendants, starting with the youngest ones."

"Hiss! So cruel?"

Sha LiFei gasped, "Can't we do something to calm the ancestors' resentment?"

"Difficult!"

Wang Dao Xuan sighed, "Their method is equivalent to putting the ancestors in Ancient Zhou Tomb. No one would be happy to change them. Moreover, they also have to use Dripping Marrow Formation's power to make the ancestors become the protection of the underworld."

"It's the one Yan XiaoGe saw."

Sha LiFei scolded, "Really, for Prosperity, you tortured your ancestors like this, no wonder they want revenge."

Wang Dao Xuan stroked his beard and shook his head and said, "This is a self-inflicted blood curse, and I don't have the ability to undo it."

"Perhaps, there will be a solution when Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect's people come back."

After figuring out the reason, the three of them stopped thinking about it.

After all, even Shang Mountain Dharma Lineage can't do anything about this kind of thing, so naturally they can't do anything about it.

Not long after, Steward Wang brought hot water, wine and food.

Sha LiFei dragged him and talked to him overtly and covertly.

Sure enough, it's the same as Wang Dao Xuan said.

Not long after Ancient Zhou Tomb was bombed, Landlord Du's grandson started to have a high fever and started talking nonsense, always saying that his great-grandfather wanted to take him away.

Landlord Du naturally knew what was going on, and even went to the old tomb to have a look. He was so angry that he almost went there on the spot.

Even the witches and gods could not wake up the grandson.

Not long after, the grandson suddenly disappeared and never appeared again.

Just one day apart, the granddaughter fell into the same situation, fell into a fever and coma, and kept talking nonsense.

Mrs. Landlord Du felt sorry for her granddaughter and often accompanied her at night to check on her. However, she didn't know what she saw two days ago. She was so frightened that her liver and gallbladder ruptured and she died on the spot.

In the past few days, the entire Du Manor has been filled with panic.

After Steward Wang left, the three of them looked at each other, shook their heads in silence, and then went to bed.

They have made up their mind to explain the matter to Landlord Du tomorrow and ask them to hire someone else...

In the mourning hall, paper money and ingots kept burning in the brazier.

Landlord Du's eldest son Du AnXin was absent-minded, his eyes were blank, and he looked in the direction of the backyard from time to time.

Logically speaking, if such a big thing happened, he should take charge of the situation, at least not make his father worry.

But in a short period of time, first his son disappeared and his life and death were unknown, and then something happened to his daughter. Before he could react, his mother left him again.

Continuous blows have brought this middle-aged man to the point of collapse. All he can do now is to keep vigil for his mother.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him.

Du An's hair stood on end, and he turned around suddenly like a frightened rabbit. After seeing the person, he breathed a sigh of relief and said nonchalantly, "I've seen... I've seen Daoist Luo."

The person coming is none other than Luo Faqing.

Luo Faqing nodded, glanced around expressionlessly, and then said, "It's okay, I just came to take a look."

After that, he turned around and left.

But halfway through, he turned around and looked at Du An who was in a state of despair. He couldn't bear it for some reason and said, "Don't worry, it's not your turn yet..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt awkward, slapped his mouth lightly, turned around and left.

He walked quickly and soon arrived at a small courtyard behind Du's house.

In the small courtyard Wing Room, a young girl in her prime was lying on the bed, her face flushed, her hair wet with sweat, her teeth clenched, her eyelids constantly trembling, as if she was having a nightmare.

The bed the girl was lying on was a bed made by wealthy families. It was beautifully carved and inlaid with jade pieces, tortoise shells and other decorations. It was extremely valuable.

The bed was now tightly wrapped with red ropes, with not only copper coins and bells hanging on it, but also many talismans attached to it.

Landlord Du was holding a long knife and was sitting outside Wing Room. There were some servants around him. Although they were holding knives, guns and sticks, they were all frightened.

Seeing this, Luo Faqing shook his head and said, "Landlord Du, these things are useless. Bloodline Evil Curse comes from within."

"I know."

Landlord Du clenched the handle of the knife tightly and gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to see him again. He almost destroyed the Du family back then. He has been dead for so many years, and he is here to cause trouble again!"

"He wanted my life back then, and I gave him back today!"

Although the words were harsh, the person was already discouraged, as if he had grown older in an instant. He turned around and entered the room, his right hand trembling, stroking the exquisite patterns on the bed, and murmured:

"When Wan Er was a child, I asked craftsmen to build this. I thought that one day I could send her out with my own hands..."

At this point, his lips were trembling. "Daoist Luo, tell me, did I do something wrong back then that led to retribution today?"

Luo Faqing was silent, not knowing how to answer.

He remembered Du An just now.

He is proficient in many powerful killing techniques, but he is not really strong in warding off evil spirits and eliminating disasters.

That day, the words Shen SanYou said before leaving came to my mind inexplicably.

There is skill but no way, there is skill but no way...

Is it possible,

Is the road really going astray?

Just when Luo Faqing was in confusion, he suddenly discovered that Landlord Du was staring at the sky behind him with a frightened face and a pale face.

Luo Faqing's scalp suddenly became numb, and he immediately turned around, and at the same time a talisman appeared in his hand.

I could only see the angle between the beams, and at some point, a dark shadow appeared, vaguely like a big bird.

Under the black wings, there is a pale white face...
