Ji Yucheng on the side watched his movements nervously.
However, after Rong Jing brushed past the boulder, he walked around it without saying anything. He just suddenly asked him, "Mr. Ji mentioned before that there was a problem at the high-tech base?"
"Ah...that's it." Ji Yucheng was stunned for a moment, then answered.
"Can you tell me?" Rong Jing gently wiped the dust off his fingertips with a handkerchief and asked with his eyes lowered.
There is nothing to hide. Although Ji Yucheng was a little confused, he still recalled it carefully because it concerned himself.
Because the high-tech base was transformed from the industries left over by the Ji family, the park is located relatively close to the center of Hong Kong.
However, it is not far from the folk ecological tourism park currently under construction. After all, Ji Yucheng originally planned to connect these industries to create an economic park dominated by the Ji family.
Some time ago, construction of the Folk Ecological Tourism Park began.
Ji Yucheng thought that the high-tech base had expanded a lot in recent years, and his employees had also reflected that some of the company's infrastructure was too old, especially the office space and employee canteen, which obviously could not meet the current development needs of the company. So after careful consideration, he decided to take advantage of the construction of the tourist park to re-plan the company's office building, canteen and various public facilities.
——The problem lies with the newly built technical building in the high-tech base.
"…After the building was rebuilt, the office of the company's technical staff moved there. But from some point on, the technical staff discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the building. Many employees working in it were in increasingly poor mental states. Some of those with more serious conditions went to the hospital for a check-up and were diagnosed with cancer." Ji Yucheng said slowly, frowning.
The workload for technicians in the high-tech base is a bit heavy, but their company has always abided by the labor law and attaches great importance to the health of employees, organizing a full physical examination every six months.
The last company-wide physical examination was just two months ago, and the physical examination reports of the employees who were diagnosed with cancer showed that everything was normal except for some anemia. No one expected that in just two months, their physical condition would suddenly take such a drastic turn for the worse.
It was also because these employees were suddenly diagnosed with cancer that the other technical personnel who were already worried became even more uneasy. Although most of them were still going to get off work normally, a small number of them had already begun to submit their resignation to the company.
In order to calm people's hearts, Ji Yucheng personally went to the hospital to issue injury allowances to the sick technicians. After returning, he specially invited a master from Xiang City to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits in the building.
It did seem to be of some use at first, but within a week, not only did the staff working in the technical building feel unwell, but employees throughout the entire base also vaguely sensed something was wrong.
The rumors spread more and more intensely within the base.
It was not until Ji Yucheng himself had health problems and his figure and appearance suddenly aged that the staff at the base finally could no longer bear it.
When Ji Yucheng went to Beijing, more than 20 employees in the high-tech base had already expressed their intention to resign, and the remaining employees began to find excuses to work from home.
The high-tech base, which was once bustling with people and thriving, now has only a few people in the dormitories and cafeteria. The work progress of the entire base has almost come to a standstill, and several projects cannot be carried out because important employees have resigned or are on vacation.
What he said before about the cash flow being cut off was not just a way of flattering Rong Jing. Ji Yucheng carefully described the situation at the high-tech base, feeling a little depressed.
He whispered, "To be honest with you, Master Rong, I have invited several masters to come and take a look before, but they all said that there is no problem with the feng shui of the parks on both sides of my park. Although the feng shui of the high-tech base is not as good as that of the tourist park, it is definitely not to the point where people will suddenly get sick."
As for the newly rebuilt technical building where the accident occurred at the beginning, Ji Yucheng naturally asked the masters to take a look, but they did not find any problems.
After thinking about it, Ji Yucheng turned his suspicion to the folk ecological tourism park which was now suspended.
After all, in terms of time, everything happened after the construction of the Folk Ecological Tourism Park started.
Especially...
As they talked, they walked out of the park. An old lady wearing strange ethnic costumes came over at some point. Seeing Ji Yucheng walking in front, she stared at him coldly: "If you disturb the ancestral veins, you will be punished..."
Her voice was dry and hoarse, and her tone was so gloomy and heavy that it made people shudder.
Ji Yucheng frowned, turned around and saw the trembling old lady with a hunched back, and suppressed his anger: "Grandma Yang, why are you here again?"
This is not the first or second time that Granny Yang has come here. She has come here two or three times since the construction began, and she keeps repeating the words she just said every time, with a sinister tone that makes people feel creepy.
But she looked to be in her seventies, and her whole body was hunched over. Ji Yucheng didn't want to bother with such an old woman. After checking that her family was just ordinary Miao villagers, he could only ask the security guard to send her back safely.
This was also his plan this time, but before he could call the security guard over, Rong Jing, who had been walking beside him, suddenly moved, walked over, leaned over and asked slowly: "Who told you that the ancestral vein is buried here?"
His tone was still indifferent, and his voice sounded like fresh snow on the mountains. Granny Yang looked at him steadily with her cloudy eyes, as if she had sensed some danger, and pursed her lips and said nothing.
Rong Jing looked at her calmly, and with a flick of his fingertips, a bug the size of a grain of rice that was crawling onto his foot suddenly stopped moving and fell straight down.
Granny Yang's face changed slightly, and she asked hoarsely, "Who are you?"
Rong Jing lowered his eyes slightly and did not answer her question.
After a while, Granny Yang said, "It's the mountain god... the mountain god is angry."
She looked at Ji Yucheng with a complicated look in her eyes: "He destroyed the ancestral veins and the feng shui of Nanming Village. The mountain god will punish him."
Ji Yucheng's face turned pale.
Rong Jing's emotions remained calm. He reached out and gently adjusted Granny Yang's crooked hat, brushing away the bad luck on her body. "So, the poisonous insect in Mr. Ji was also planted by you, right?"
The slender hand, white and smooth, filled with spiritual energy, rested lightly on her slack shoulders, carrying an indescribable sense of danger.
Granny Yang's body suddenly stiffened.
Ji Yucheng's eyes widened as well. He had clearly checked before. Granny Yang was originally from Xiang City. She married to Nanming Village forty-six years ago. She had always been law-abiding and had never shown any signs of being able to use Gu. So after he suspected her at the beginning, he no longer focused his attention on her.
Now that Rong Jing said this, Ji Yucheng thought about how he became like this because there were so many bugs hidden in his body, and he was immediately horrified: "Grandma Yang! Why did you do this..."
Ji Yucheng's voice suddenly choked, and the sinister curse that Grandma Yang had just uttered came to his mind.
However, when he decided to build a tourist park in Nanming Village, no one ever told him that there was such a thing as ancestral veins in this village?
He didn't even know what this thing was, so why was he being punished with his life for no reason?
Granny Yang pursed her lips and said, "This is the will of the mountain god."
Ji Yucheng laughed out of anger and turned to look at Rong Jing.
"The ancestral lineage of Nanming Village is not here." Rong Jing lowered his eyes and looked at her indifferently.
Granny Yang held her crutch tightly, not believing it at all.
Seeing this, Rong Jing gently raised his hand and casually touched her forehead.
His movements were so fast that Granny Yang was startled, but she was unable to dodge due to her old age. She could only let the slightly cool breath fall on her brows and then disappear into her eyes.
Blinking slowly, Granny Yang raised her head and saw a faint green air mixed with a little gray and black, hovering in the entire tourist park.
The green color is the breath of life from the surrounding woods and the stream that passes by the gate, while the gray and black color is the faint gloomy energy emanating from somewhere in the garden.
Granny Yang knows how to use witchcraft, so she can be considered an expert in the Mystical Sect. Naturally, she can tell what these auras represent.
There is no ancestral vein here.
…She was deceived by the mountain god.
Granny Yang stayed where she was. Rong Jing raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes again, then took back the spiritual energy.
"I cast the spell." After a long while, Granny Yang said hoarsely. She seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. It was unclear whether it was because of the so-called deception of the mountain god or because she regretted casting the spell on Ji Yucheng.
Ji Yucheng could actually be considered a good person. When the tourist park was first being planned, her family's land was included in the plan. Because her family was relatively ordinary, Ji Yucheng even gave her some extra land.
Ji Yucheng gritted his teeth.
The fear and worry for half a month was just because of a non-existent reason of destroying the ancestral bloodline? !
However, the other party was an old man after all. Ji Yucheng controlled his anger and looked at Rong Jing: "Master Rong Tian, do you have any solution?"
Since Rong Jing could tell that he was poisoned by a Gu and knew that it was planted by Granny Yang, does that mean that he very likely also knew how to remove the Gu from his body?
"Not yet." Rong Jing lowered his eyes and said.
Ji Yucheng looked anxious: "Why?"
"Because there is something else in you." Rong Jing looked at him deeply.
Before leaving for the incense market, Rong Jing actually told Ji Yucheng about his fortune.
Ji Yucheng's fate is similar to Ji Wan's, both of them are extremely good fates among ordinary people. Logically speaking, he shouldn't encounter such a thing, and even if he did, he should be able to resolve it quickly.
But in the hexagram that Rong Jing deduced at that time, Ji Yucheng's fate seemed to have changed a lot. His life span, which was supposed to be 89 years old, was shortened to a short 48. The harmonious and perfect Palace of Marriage also became vaguely dim, and the Palace of Wealth and Career, which represented money and career, was even more doomed to fall, becoming extremely dangerous.
This kind of fate is reflected in Ji Yucheng's face. His facial features have not changed much, but he already looks bitter.
Ji Yucheng was stunned: "...Is there anything else on me?"
Rong Jing: “Yeah.”
Ji Yucheng suddenly remembered the questions Rong Jing had asked in the park just now, and subconsciously asked, "Is it related to the high-tech base?"
Rong Jing glanced at him and said, "Maybe."
Ji Yucheng was silent.
Granny Yang suddenly murmured, "No wonder..."
Granny Yang is actually not very proficient in witchcraft.
She was abandoned by her parents when she was born, and grew up with a witch who had a bad temper, but treated her very well, but her skills were not high. She only taught her some ordinary witchcraft and told her not to use witchcraft to harm others unless it was absolutely necessary.
Granny Yang took this to heart. In the decades since she married into Nanming Village, she had never used the Gu technique taught to her by the Gu woman.
Except that half a month ago, the mountain god told her through a poisonous insect that someone had destroyed the ancestral veins underground in Nanming Village and wanted to take away the luck of the entire Nanming Village to strengthen itself.
For Gu Masters, Gu worms are their most loyal friends. Granny Yang never thought that anyone could hide the secrets from her Gu worms and pretend to be a mountain god to convey messages.
So Granny Yang used her witchcraft for the first time and put the most vicious and deadly witchcraft left for her on Ji Yucheng.
This kind of poison is as small as an ox hair, but it is extremely greedy and can devour a person's life, flesh, blood, and even soul.
The first time Grandma Yang came, she poisoned Ji Yucheng with a Gu, but the following times were strange. Why was Ji Yucheng still alive?
She could feel some vague emotions coming from the poisonous insect in Ji Yucheng's body. Now after hearing what Rong Jing said, she knew that there was something in a stalemate with the poisonous insect in Ji Yucheng's body, so the poisonous insect could not completely devour Ji Yucheng.
But after thinking it through, Granny Yang didn't know whether she should be thankful or not. She opened her cloudy eyes and looked at Rong Jing, but murmured to herself: "But why did the mountain god lie to me..."
Rong Jing didn't answer her.
In fact, Granny Yang herself knew in her heart that the so-called mountain god... was most likely a fake, and he just wanted to use her to get rid of Ji Yucheng.
Ji Yucheng also quickly realized this.
However, since Granny Yang's actions had nothing to do with the so-called mountain spirits and ghosts, and also involved his latest unfinished tourist park, the intentions of the person behind it are self-evident.
If Ji Yucheng suddenly died while he was building this tourist park, and rumors spread that he had offended the local mountain god, the Ji family would naturally not continue construction and would most likely seal the entire project.
——If this is the case, then the people behind the scenes only need to spend a little time and find some connections, then they can take over the entire tourist park at a very low cost.
At that time, he would pass some information that was beneficial to him to Grandma Yang's poisonous insect - or be more cruel and get rid of Grandma Yang quietly, and the rumor of offending the mountain god would naturally disappear gradually.
And he, Ji Yucheng, was just an unlucky guy who died suddenly due to poor health.
Thinking about it this way, another thing on his body might have helped to prolong his life?
Rong Jing's eyes were still as calm as ever. He heard Ji Yucheng's murmured question and gave a rare affirmative answer: "Yeah."
Ji Yucheng: “…” Suddenly I didn’t know what to say.
But even though the two things were in a stalemate, Ji Yucheng had lost a lot of energy.
Rong Jing lowered his eyes to look at the only remaining life in Ji Yucheng and frowned slightly.
If his guess was correct, the things hidden in that high-tech base...
Rong Jing lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, hesitated for a moment, and sent the message.
Ji Yucheng didn't have the heart to pay attention to Granny Yang at the moment. He even wanted to call the police and send the man to jail. However, after hearing Rong Jing say that he would need her help to remove the poison, he suppressed his anger.
Granny Yang didn't say much. She just stood there quietly, watching Ji Yucheng and Rong Jing leave.
Before getting in the car, Rong Jing suddenly remembered something, got out of the car again, and said calmly: "The poison inside, let's get rid of it."
The faint evil aura remaining on the sacrificial stone that Rong Jing had touched before was none other than the trace left by the passing of the poisonous insect.
Granny Yang: “…I understand.”
She walked in with the help of crutches. The security guards wanted to stop her, but Rong Jing shook his head at them, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Ji Yucheng also noticed his actions and suddenly realized something in his heart.
Soon, Rong Jing returned to the car. Ji Yucheng looked at him with a complicated look, and finally said respectfully: "Master Rong Tian, shall we go to the high-tech base now?"
The cell phone made a soft "ding" sound. Rong Jing lowered his eyes to look at the phone and said "hmm" softly.
After getting the confirmation, Ji Yucheng felt much more at ease and mentioned it to the driver.
The car slowly drove towards the high-tech base.
As the capital for Ji Yucheng to start his business, the high-tech base is much larger than the previous folk ecological tourism park, and its design style is more sharp and advanced, with a strong modern atmosphere.
It’s just that recently the employees in the base have been having health problems frequently, and Ji Yucheng couldn’t force the employees to come to work, so the entire base was sparsely populated and very depressed.
The car quickly drove into the base. Rong Jing asked the driver to drive past several places that had been rebuilt before, and finally stopped in front of the technical building that was almost completely vacant.
The appearance of the newly rebuilt building was very beautiful. Rong Jing looked up and was the first to walk in.
Ji Yucheng was a little hesitant, but still followed.
The temperature in Xiang City was still over 20 degrees, but they were wearing shirts and coats, and they still felt an inexplicable chill when they walked in.
Especially when you reach the entrance to the second floor, a cool breeze blows in from the corridor window, bringing with it a faint sticky and moist feeling.
Rong Jing's eyes moved slightly.
The life-snatching fluctuations were so tiny that ordinary people could hardly detect them, but in Rong Jing's eyes, they were as conspicuous as the bright moon in the dark night.
He gently closed his eyes, without using the Zhoutian Gua, and relying solely on his keen sense, he quickly determined the source of the fluctuations.
He opened his eyes and walked up the stairs instead of taking the elevator.
Ji Yucheng had been paying attention to his expression, and now he knew that he had probably discovered something, so he hurried to catch up.
After climbing three floors in total, Rong Jing finally stopped in front of a compartment in the middle of the fifth floor.
Ji Yucheng took a look and said, "This is the tea room that was separated during the renovation. Many employees said that the previous water supply system was old and not working well, so this was added during the renovation."
While listening, Rong Jing pushed the door and walked in.
The arrangement of things inside was unexpectedly a bit messy, but at first glance, there was nothing unusual.
Just as Ji Yucheng was about to ask a question, he saw Rong Jing walking straight in and stopping in front of the newly installed direct drinking water machine.
Even though there were no employees working in the building, the direct drinking water dispenser system was still working. Rong Jing took a cup and filled it with half a cup of water. He lowered his head and smelled it, and indeed, he smelled a hint of familiar yin energy.
Ji Yucheng: "Is there something wrong with this water dispenser? Do you need me to ask someone to move it over and take a look?"
As Ji Yucheng said this, he quickly contacted someone.
Rong Jing didn't even have time to say "no need".
"..." After a moment of silence, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside.
Ji Yucheng was a little puzzled as to why the people he called came so quickly. When he opened the door, he saw a group of men who looked somewhat unfamiliar.
...It’s not quite right to say that he is a stranger. I know Ji Yucheng, who is walking in front.
"Mr. Xie?"
Xie Xuanqing nodded at him lightly, then raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Rong Jing who was leaning against the water dispenser.
"Master Rong!" Before he could speak, Zhou Songyun, who was one step behind him, called out, "We meet again."
Rong Jing's gaze shifted from Xie Xuan to him: "Captain Zhou."
Zhou Songyun was also a little excited to see Rong Jing. In the last incident of the Xibeijiang Bridge, Rong Jing's last words gave them a lot of directions for investigation. This time he appeared here because he found out that the health of the employees at this base had deteriorated on a large scale. He was going to investigate and upload the information to his superiors to send a heavenly master to solve the problem.
However, not long after he arrived in Xiang City, Xie Xuanqing suddenly contacted him and then brought them all here.
The moment he saw Rong Jing, Zhou Songyun felt more or less heavy in his heart - since Rong Jing would appear there, the poor physical condition of the employees in this base was not a coincidence. It was very likely that someone had set up a life-changing array here.
But despite the heavy feeling, Zhou Songyun also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Rong Jing had taken action, there was no need to delay this life-changing formation and wait for the superiors to send a master over.
——And that is indeed the case.
Rong Jing glanced at them for a few seconds, then took out a few talismans from his pocket, handed them to Zhou Songyun, and asked them to pry open the water dispenser.
As soon as he got the bright yellow talisman in his hand, he felt a soft and warm breath. Zhou Songyun was slightly shocked, but his expression remained unchanged. He called a few subordinates over and forcefully dismantled the water dispenser.
"Buzz——" As if it touched something, a strong evil energy suddenly burst out. Zhou Songyun and others had the talismans given by Rong Jing in advance to resist, so they were not hurt at all.
Ji Yucheng could not see the existence of Yin Qi, but he could feel that there seemed to be something cold and sticky in the air. He subconsciously took two steps back and just as he was about to dodge, he saw Rong Jing holding a jade-colored brush that he had taken out from somewhere, and quickly drew a few strange patterns in the air.
The fine golden light was brilliant and gentle, brushing gently across Ji Yucheng's eyes, completely crushing and devouring the rampant Yin energy.
A bright red life-gathering plaque fell to the ground, and Rong Jing bent down to pick it up.
