When the group arrived, they saw dozens or even hundreds of people moving around in the valley.
Most of these people were locals, carrying tools such as hoes and carrying poles, digging here and there, and speaking in the local dialect.
Some of them were tourists from other places, excitedly filming or live-streaming with their phones or recording devices.
The cordon and roadblocks that the security guards set up when they left have been forcibly removed by this group of people.
It was noisy and bustling everywhere, like a busy marketplace.
When Li Wenhe saw that a villager had disturbed the feng shui formation he had set up, he quickly walked over and shoved the person away.
The man immediately cried out in pain and lay down on the ground, refusing to get up.
The surrounding villagers immediately gathered around, glaring at them menacingly: "What are you doing? Why are you bullying people?"
Li Wenhe said coldly, "This place has already been contracted out. Who gave you permission to trespass?"
The villagers immediately protested: "What do you mean by trespassing? This Pear Blossom Valley belongs to us locals!"
"You secretly fenced off the valley, not for real tourism development, but to do something shady inside?"
Li Wenhe's temper is not what it used to be; he used to be extremely irritable.
“You’re carrying tools, which makes you look more like you’re doing something shady,” he said, stepping forward and grabbing the hand of an old man in the crowd.
The other person was holding a piece of jade, one of the key elements of the formation Li Wenhe had set up here. "You stole someone else's things, now you're going to the police station!"
The old man, though outwardly fierce, was inwardly weak: "Nonsense! This is my family's heirloom jade! You're slandering me!"
The others were also indignant, shouting that Li Wenhe should produce evidence, otherwise it was a false accusation!
Li Wenhe took the jade, his brows furrowed with impatience. "Fools! I don't know who lured you here to search for treasure, but please use your brains and think carefully, lest you become someone else's pawns and lose your lives without even knowing it."
He had lived here for a month and could understand the local language to a certain extent. He had pieced together the truth from a few snippets of conversation among a few people.
These people are here to search for treasure.
There's a rumor, I don't know where it came from, that there's a treasure buried in Pear Blossom Valley.
The wealthiest people in the area fled by train with all their belongings. When they passed through Pear Blossom Valley, the train was bombed, and their gold and silver treasures were buried at the bottom of the valley.
In addition, there is an ancient tomb at the bottom of Pear Blossom Valley, which is said to be the tomb of an ancient princess whose parents doted on her and filled the tomb with gold and silver jewelry.
The reason why those who boarded the wishing train became rich quickly after getting off was because they took gold and silver jewelry.
The two stories are full of legendary elements and are told in great detail, and they have become a hot topic online.
The first to rush over are internet celebrities, but soon professional treasure hunters and adventurers will be rushing over as well.
The villagers were alarmed. Pear Blossom Valley was where their ancestors had lived for generations, and any treasure there should belong to them!
So, after a few dozen villagers got together, they broke through the roadblock and ran in to search.
Li Wenhe: "A non-existent treasure has blinded you? Do you think you have too much time on your hands?"
A group of people glared at Li Wenhe angrily. How could this man speak so viciously?
Seeing that the situation was not good, He Wangyao hurriedly squeezed through.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! There really is no treasure in Pear Blossom Valley, and it's very unsafe! A train derailment did happen here, killing many people. The yin energy here is extremely heavy, and it's bad luck for the living to come into contact with it!"
This statement immediately made many people hesitate.
"You're not lying to us, are you?"
At this moment, a group of people carrying mobile phone live streaming equipment rushed over and surrounded He Wangyao.
"I know you. Aren't you that internet celebrity Yao Yao?"
"A Taoist priest performed a ritual in the valley a few days ago. Nothing could have happened, right? Are you just spreading alarmist rumors?"
"No, there are so many of us, with such strong yang energy, even if there are ghosts, they wouldn't dare to come out, right?"
"That's right, fortune favors the bold. If it weren't challenging, wouldn't you have dug up the treasure long ago?"
"You just want to keep the treasure for yourselves, don't you?"
He Wangyao: "..."
He tried to silently recite the mantra for purifying the mind, thinking to himself, "I am a practitioner, I cannot stoop to the level of ordinary people..."
When he saw the camera zoomed in on his face, OK fine, even the calming spell didn't work, and he became so angry that he wanted to hit someone!
Before they could even make a move, someone squeezed in, grabbed him, and grabbed Li Wenhe, breaking through the encirclement.
He Wangyao stared intently and realized it was Pei Di.
For the past six months, Pei Di has been training relentlessly, embarking on a path of becoming a muscular hunk from which there is no turning back.
Those people were somewhat wary of Pei Di, after all, they were also afraid of being beaten up, so they didn't chase after him anymore.
The group arrived at a secluded spot, and He Wangyao put her hands on her hips: "These people have gone too far! A rabble! Foolish!"
Pei Di: "If only the boss were here, she would definitely have a way to deal with these people."
Li Wenhe pursed his lips and remained silent.
He knew perfectly well that this matter was deliberately instigated by someone, and the person behind it must have taken the opportunity to send spies to infiltrate the situation. If Mingzhuo were here, he could tell who was behind it with just a glance.
However, he had no expertise in physiognomy.
After venting her anger, He Wangyao began to think of a solution. These people had been lured here, and she couldn't just leave them alone.
It wouldn't make sense for them to cultivate Taoism and not protect ordinary people.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd, and then he saw a group of people running wildly out of the valley.
"What happened?" He Wangyao was dumbfounded.
