Hitting a living pile...? !

Jiang Dayue felt that this word sounded familiar, as if he had heard it when his fellow workers were chatting.

But he didn't listen carefully, he just heard something like "dead person".

As soon as he heard this word, he knew it must be related to some legend or superstition.

In fact, there are many similar rumors on the construction site, but everyone talks about them in a joking tone.

In addition, Jiang Dayue himself had never encountered it, so he really didn't know whether some of the things were true.

Lin Xi briefly explained to him what it meant to hit a living stake.

It means offering human sacrifices before or during construction to pray for smooth progress of the work.

In ancient times, people were more superstitious about Feng Shui and metaphysics. In addition, sometimes strange things would happen during construction, so some people suspected that they had offended local ghosts and gods, so they decided to sacrifice living people to those ghosts and gods.

After the body of the sacrificed person dies, his soul has to remain in the burial ground and act as the so-called "guardian god" to prevent other ghosts from attacking.

Therefore, those who were chosen to be the living stakes were very miserable. Not only did they have to face death, but they were also not allowed to be reincarnated after death and were trapped in hell forever.

After listening to Lin Xi's explanation, Jiang Dayue was so angry that he was shaking all over.

"Who on earth wants to harm me like this?"

How could such a vicious trick fall upon him?

He never makes enemies with others because he always remembers the principle of "talk less and do more" and is always the most diligent one at work.

But who would have thought that he would be chosen to be the sacrifice?!

This must be related to the construction site, but he didn't understand why it was him? Who was selecting the person? Who chose him?

Jiang Dayue couldn't calm down.

After hearing Lin Xi's explanation of the meaning of "beating the living stake", the old lady's legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

"My son was beaten alive...?"

"How could this happen? How could this happen? Who on earth is so heartless as to want to harm him?"

The old lady slapped her thigh and cried bitterly, but she knew that they had come in secretly, so she didn't dare to cry too loudly. She could only let the tears continue to fall, but she gritted her teeth and swallowed the sound into her throat.

That pitiful look made Qian Duojin and Tang Yuan, two grown men, feel a lump in their throats.

"Mom, don't cry, take care of yourself..."

Jiang Dayue knew that his mother had high blood pressure and was afraid that she would get hurt from crying, so he was very anxious beside her.

But the old lady could neither see him nor hear his voice, and she continued to cry silently.

Lin Xi made a gesture to the old lady, put his index and middle fingers together, and rubbed the center of her eyes.

The next second, the old lady felt something flash before her eyes. When she looked ahead again, she saw her son's translucent figure.

"son!"

"Mom? Can you see me?"

The old lady nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes, my poor son..."

Suddenly, the mother and son started talking excitedly.

Lin Xi asked Qian Duojin and Tang Yuan to look after the old lady and Jiang Dayue, while she went to the other three villas to check the situation one by one.

The ghosts in the other three villas could still vaguely see a little bit of shape, but because it had been too long, their soul power had long been absorbed by the formation. Even if Lin Xi came, there was no way to make them regain consciousness.

Lin Xi ignored the three ghosts that were as fragile as bubbles. She wandered around the three villas for a while and soon found three blood-stained steel bars stuck in the ground.

Those three steel bars are where the formation is located, and they are also the soul-pinching needles that fix the three souls in one place.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Xi took out three talismans and buried them on the corresponding points of the three steel bars.

If nothing unexpected happens, this formation should be broken.

Lin Xi stood up and looked at the three steel bars that were gleaming in the moonlight and suddenly covered with a layer of gray, his eyes cold.

Sacrificing living people and taking human lives lightly, what is the difference between such practices and evil cultivation?

Even if the old lady didn't ask her for help, Lin Xi would still do it.

Now that the formation has been broken, I'm afraid the person behind the scenes has suffered backlash.

As for other people who participated and knew about it, they will definitely not escape retribution.

Lin Xi clapped his hands and turned back to Qian Duojin and the others.

Over there, the old lady and her son Jiang Dayue had already finished their last words to each other.

The mother and son first expressed their longing for each other, and then turned the topic to why Jiang Dayue was chosen.

Lin Xi had seen Jiang Dayue's birth date and time before and was able to figure out his fate. Naturally, he knew that his fate was not something special like extreme yin or extreme yang.

Therefore, Jiang Dayue was chosen not because it was his destiny, but because he was harmed by someone.

As for who harmed him...

As I said, sometimes human hearts are scarier than ghosts and gods.

When Jiang Dayue still couldn't figure out why he was dragged here to be a "sacrifice", Lin Xi reminded him.

"Although you are down-to-earth and hardworking, not everyone in this world likes this kind of person."

Especially in the workplace.

Although Jiang Dayue is relatively quiet, he always works the fastest, best, most hardworking and serious.

It's just because he doesn't like to talk and doesn't like to hang out with people, so he seems to have no presence.

But the leaders have sharp eyes. They know very well which workers are good at work and which ones like to cheat and slack off.

Naturally, they also prefer workers who do more and talk less, are efficient, and can bring them more benefits.

Although they work all day long and don't have frequent group meetings or commendation conferences, some people are very sharp and careful, and the leader can tell what they are thinking with just one look.

Jiang Dayue is highly recognized by the leaders, so other people naturally have their own thoughts.

When things get better, improve yourself, seize the time and work hard, try to get the attention of your leaders, and then give yourself a bonus.

As for those who have bad intentions, they naturally won't look for the reasons in themselves. They will only think that Jiang Dayue is too pretentious and showy. Obviously, everyone is doing the same work, but he insists on doing it faster and better than others. Can't he be the same as everyone else?

Such people naturally feel unhappy about Jiang Dayue.

So after noticing that something was amiss regarding the deaths of the three previous people, someone started to think and "inadvertently" revealed that Jiang Dayue's family had only a widowed mother who was in her sixties and an old rural woman with no education, no skills, and no background.

In this way, without any background, even if Jiang Dayue's family members come to make trouble after his death, an old lady will not be able to cause any trouble. This is the best.

So Jiang Dayue was not originally the chosen one, but was replaced and selected because his family situation was easier to deal with.

And the person who revealed his family situation was naturally someone close to Jiang Dayue, or someone who was very familiar with him.

After hearing this, Jiang Dayue was stunned for a long time, then he gritted his teeth and said, "It's Li Peng, it must be him!"

He said that Li Peng and he were in the same construction team. They were of similar age, with Li Peng being a few years older than him. Considering the average age of people in their forties on the construction site, he was considered young.

Jiang Dayue and Li Peng have known each other for four or five years, and he has been with Li Peng for almost half of his career in the construction industry.
