Chapter 952: Evil Gathering Mirror
Ye Wanxi chuckled: "You're all willing to believe that all things in this world have spirits and souls. Why are you unwilling to believe in the existence of underworld messengers?"
The Ji father and daughter exchanged glances, saying that while the words were true, it was indeed a bit difficult for them to accept them so easily...
"That……"
Ye Wanxi didn't press the matter and continued, "After a person dies, their soul leaves the body, but in most cases, the soul and body are not too far apart. So, when their remains are brought here, their souls will most likely come in with them. And after their remains are cremated, the underworld officials will take their souls away and send them to the afterlife."
"From a Feng Shui perspective, this 'path to the underworld' is the path taken by the messengers of the dead. They come from the west and carry the souls away from the east. To ensure the smooth progress of this process, these two directions should not be used to place any objects that could affect the souls."
Mr. Ji finally understood something and exclaimed, "Miss Ye just said that the underworld is blocked because someone has placed guardian objects that affect ghosts in these two places, so they can't leave and can only stay inside the museum?"
When Mr. Ji said this, Ji Yueling and the others were slightly taken aback. Who would have thought that so many things had happened to the people in their building recently, all because of this reason!
"So what exactly is this talisman?"
"The so-called 'suppressing objects' are mostly items that can deter ghosts. Such as five-emperor coins, Pixiu, and even some sharpened swords, and... stone lions."
Following the direction Ye Wanxi was looking, Ji's father and the others immediately spotted the small stone lion located in the east.
Mr. Ji's expression changed drastically: "Where did this lion come from? When was it placed here?"
A middle-aged man following behind Mr. Ji saw the lion and his expression changed: "Director, you forgot? This was a gift from Boss Liu. He said that the yin energy here is too heavy, so he gave us two stone lions to suppress it, which would be good for everyone in the museum."
When Mr. Ji heard this, he was so angry that he almost lost his temper. He was so kind to everyone in the museum, but because of his two stone lions, everyone in the museum was fine before, but now they've all suffered a lot of bad luck.
Seeing Mr. Ji's angry yet mocking expression, Ye Wanxi coughed lightly and couldn't help but speak up for Mr. Liu: "What he said is not wrong. These stone lions can indeed suppress yin energy, but the placement of them is incorrect, so the effect is naturally vastly different."
Mr. Ji's expression stiffened slightly, and he turned to ask the middle-aged man, "Who made the decision to put these two stone lions here? It couldn't have been me, could it? I don't remember asking you to put the stone lions here."
The middle-aged man was also sweating profusely. Hearing what Mr. Ji said, he hurriedly said, "No, no, you were busy talking business with someone at the time. When Old Li came up to you and mentioned this, you didn't pay much attention and just told him to find an open space to put it down."
Ji Yueling frowned, feeling that something was off about the whole thing: "So, he took it upon himself to put the things in these two places?"
The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his brow and chuckled dryly, "Aren't these the two most spacious and largest areas in our building?"
That makes sense, and it makes one think that everything today was just a fluke, a series of unfortunate coincidences.
Mr. Ji pursed his lips and continued, "So, if we just move these two lions away, will things go back to normal and no one else will get hurt?"
At that time, people who were still working at the funeral home heard about what was happening there. Although many people did not come over, they quietly watched from a distance.
Upon hearing this, everyone perked up their ears.
You have to understand that there are a fair number of people working at their funeral home, and the ones who had the accident before were from different departments.
They were already somewhat wary of working in such places. They were fine when nothing happened, but once something went wrong, they always felt uneasy, fearing that they would be the next one to be affected.
Hearing what Mr. Ji said, everyone's hearts involuntarily tightened.
Ye Wanxi did not give an immediate answer, but instead looked up at Ji's father and the others.
Her gaze swept over everyone before finally settling on Ji Xiangli, where she stared at him for a long while before looking away.
When Ji Yueling and her father saw her action, their expressions darkened slightly, and their gazes toward Ji Xiangli became more inquisitive.
Ji Xiangli tried to maintain a calm expression, but his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched even tighter.
After glancing at the group, Ye Wanxi turned and walked towards the direction where the stone lion was.
Seeing this, Mr. Ji and the others hurriedly followed.
She circled the stone lion twice, then glanced at a green plant next to it, and stomped on the ground around the plant a few times.
Feng Tianyu immediately understood, took out a dagger from somewhere, and stabbed the spot where Ye Wanxi had stepped.
The recent rains have made the soil around the greenery damp, and it seems that it had been dug up before. Even if it was compacted again afterward, it certainly won't be as firm as the other clods of soil around it in a short time.
Feng Tianyu turned over the land in just a few turns, and the entire small plot was turned upside down.
"This is……"
At this moment, the other staff members of the funeral home, disregarding whether they would be blamed by the director for leaving their posts during working hours, all crowded around them.
"It looks like a dark box. Ugh, what's that smell? It stinks!"
What Fengtianyu dug out was a palm-sized black wooden box. The box was sealed with yellow talisman paper and beeswax.
The moment it was pried open, the contents inside fell out.
At the same time, an indescribable stench wafted out, startling everyone so much that they covered their noses and took several steps back. After a while, they couldn't resist their curiosity and pinched their noses to go forward and see what had fallen out of the box.
"Is this... a mirror?"
That's right, the box contained a very small round mirror. The mirror was made of bronze, covered in rust, and the surface was already blurry, making it look somewhat rough and of poor quality.
Normally, they wouldn't even glance at such a broken mirror. But this mirror was dug up by Miss Ye, and they had just heard Ye Wanxi talk about so many feng shui taboos not long ago. And this mirror didn't look like a proper mirror at all!
"Miss Ye, what exactly is going on..."
Ye Wanxi stared at the mirror, her eyes sharpening: "This is a Gathering Mirror."
"A Mirror for Gathering Evil?"
"That's right, this mirror is used to gather evil spirits. With the stone lion here, the spirits can't get out and will only be able to wander inside the building. And this mirror is right near the stone lion, a place that the spirits must pass through when they wander back. The more spirits pass by, the heavier the evil spirits it gathers."
