Chapter 254: Snake Suppression
The male ghost immediately got scared when he saw it, and begged for mercy while running: "Master, Master, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Feng Zhi saw that there was no life on him, so he just said something mean: "Are you still going to look for him?"
"No, no. We are just a bunch of wandering ghosts. We thought we could have some food, but we didn't expect to harm anyone. Really!" The male ghost hurriedly explained.
The lonely souls in the mass grave also flew out hurriedly and said that they were really afraid that Feng Zhi would be unhappy and chop them all to death.
"If you dare to go to Chenshan's house at night again, I will take you all to the underworld." Feng Zhi said viciously.
"We don't dare anymore. We don't dare to come." A group of ghosts said hurriedly in fear.
Chen Shan's hair stood on end when he heard this. Seeing Feng Zhi nod at him, he hurriedly thanked all the ghosts.
"Sir, they won't come to my house anymore!"
"I won't go there. If they dare to go to your house again, they will come to the city gate to find us. I will come to take them away." Feng Zhi said as he looked at the ghosts who were eating behind him.
When the ghosts saw this, they all smiled and nodded apologetically, not daring to do it again.
Chen Shan separated from them at the fork in the road and went out to sell his goods with his basket on his shoulder.
Su Nuobai was almost dozing off on the small stool, and vaguely saw someone sitting down.
"Master Su, I want you to help me take a look." A man's voice came from the other side.
When Su Nuobai opened her eyes, she saw the man opposite her who was wrapped tightly, with even his eyes not showing.
"What do you want to see?"
The man hesitated for a long time: "Master Su, don't be afraid if you see me. I am a human, not a monster."
"Do you look like a demon?" Su Nuobai became interested and even lost his sleepiness.
The man was also wearing gloves, so his original skin color could not be seen at all.
He pulled back the veil on his face a little, revealing a pair of strange vertical pupils.
"Snake eyes." Su Nuobai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"My name is Jansson, and I'm a bricklayer. Those who built houses with me are now like me. They're afraid to go out, afraid of being beaten like monsters."
"I mustered up the courage to go out and look for the mysterious master. I encountered many scammers along the way. They were not only incompetent but also cheated me out of my money."
"Until I met a monk who said I was suffering from backlash, but he didn't know the solution. He told me to go find Master Su near the gate of Shengjing City."
"I asked around for a long time before I found you."
When Su Nuobai heard him say "monk", he knew it was Liao Kong, the bald donkey: "You said that you renovated the house and it became like this?"
"Yes, yes, that's an old house. It was bought by a rich man. He wanted to renovate the house, so he found people like us."
"He was generous, so we took the job because we thought everyone had done this kind of renovation before. Previous renovations had gone smoothly without incident."
"It was during the last renovation of the yard. There was originally a stone there. It would be beautiful if we renovated it and planted some flowers and plants."
"But the owner didn't like it. He asked us to move the boulder away and even said he wanted to dig a pond here."
"We figured, since we've been paid, we'll just do what they say. When we dug a few meters deep, we found something strange."
Su Nuobai looked at him: "What is it?"
"The snake bones arranged in the Bagua formation are the largest I've ever seen. We were all terrified at the time. Something buried underground and still so well preserved must be quite sinister."
"We told the owner that we should just bury the things back. But he wasn't happy about it. He insisted that the house was his and such a weird thing shouldn't be there."
"He also said that if we quit, he would replace us and would not pay us the outstanding wages. We just couldn't accept that! We had no choice but to move these snake bones out and throw them away."
Zhan Song couldn't continue speaking at this point: "But in the next few days, we all experienced strange changes."
"At first, we developed scaly bruises on our backs. They didn't hurt or itch. We didn't think much of it, thinking it was probably caused by someone not paying attention."
"But after the house was repaired and we returned home, it happened to be a rainy day. We were in so much pain that our whole bodies were convulsing, and the scales that had originally bruised had even grown back."
"It started with our backs, then our entire bodies started to grow scales, even covering our faces. We started to get scared and tried to pull them out with our hands, but even after we pulled them out to a bloody mess, they would still grow back."
"Everyone in the family is scared. My wife has taken the children back to her parents' home. My parents and brothers don't dare to recognize us."
Su Nuobai looked at him and said, "You probably haven't finished yet. Not only do you have scales on your body, but you also experience pain and convulsions all over your body when it's cloudy or rainy."
"You will shed your skin once every three times. After three sheds, your eyes will become snake eyes."
Zhan Song nodded quickly: “Master Su, are we going to die soon?”
Su Nuobai: "You won't die, you are just being attacked by the formation. Compared to you, the owner of that house will be in a much worse situation than you."
"Ah!" Zhan Song looked stunned.
"The Bagua formation you see, made of snake bones, is also called Snake Suppression. It's a formation for gathering wealth, and the snake bones are meant for giant pythons."
"The reason they put stones on it is to prevent it from escaping. Legend has it that snakes are a symbol of wealth and good luck, so the previous owner built this snake suppression formation."
"You broke the formation, so naturally you will suffer backlash. And this snake has been suppressed for who knows how long. Even if its soul is reincarnated, it will still have resentment."
"The way you are now is caused by its resentment." Su Nuobai said after looking at it.
Zhan Song quickly asked, "Master, then, then is there any hope for us?"
"Of course there is hope. Although this formation looks evil, it's not meant to kill you. It's just to make you suffer a little more so that you'll remember this lesson."
Su Nuobai took out a yellow talisman from her bag, dipped her index finger in some cinnabar, and casually drew some incomprehensible symbols on it.
She handed the yellow paper to Zhan Song and said, "Burn it into ashes, add water and drink it. All your symptoms will disappear tomorrow."
"Really? Really?" Zhan Song couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's true. If you haven't changed by tomorrow, come here to find me." Su Nuobai looked at him and said.
"Su, Master Su, how much is this talisman?" Zhan Song had almost spent all the money he had on the way here.
As long as it is too expensive and he really can't afford it, and there are brothers who work with him, should we just ignore them?
"One hundred wen. If you want to take it back, it's the same price." Su Nuobai looked at him and said.
