Chapter 83 Human Bones
The action of force is mutual, and so is love and hate.
Yan Jiang hates the Yan family so much, so the Yan family will definitely not like Yan Jiang, and this is the gap they can use to provoke the Yan family.
"But how can we convince them that Yan Jiang was behind this?" Wang Bo muttered. "We can't just walk into the ancestral hall and dig out the hard drive to show them, right?"
Li Xiaogou sneered: "Who would think that a hard drive could harm people?"
Wang Bo: ...
"Then tell me what to do?"
"We can point the finger at the ancestral hall and then the pillar. We don't need to show them the hard drive. We just need to let them know that the pillar is hollow and there's something hidden inside. As for what it is... we have the final say."
Jiang Mu was confused: "They can see it too, so it's hard for us to say anything, right?"
"We were the ones who discovered the problem with the pillar, and we'll be the ones who break it open. So, is it difficult to stuff something in there before they see it?"
After Li Xiaogou finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.
Li Xiaogou frowned: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Wang Bo and Jiang Mu looked at each other and said, "No, nothing."
No one should be offended but this kind-looking but evil-hearted person must be offended. At this moment, the two people silently swore in their hearts.
Once you have a plan, all that remains is execution.
Li Xiaogou and Wang Bo acted as middlemen, taking on the important task of communicating with Yan San, and the task of pretending to be a charlatan naturally fell on Jiang Mu.
After walking around Jiang Mu, Li Xiaogou sighed, "Pure and kind, so pure and kind."
Their current fake faces are based on the original ones. Jiang Mu's appearance, no matter how it changes, gives people an illusion of purity, which is far from the image of a Taoist priest in the minds of the general public.
After searching the Internet for a long time, he finally found a suitable face to replace Jiang Mu's. Li Xiaogou directly made a voice call to Yan San.
Li Xiaogou hated the behavior of directly playing voice messages, but in an emergency, he had to give up his principles.
It took a long time for Yan San to pick up the phone. His voice was a little hoarse, as if... he had just woken up.
"I'm sorry for calling you directly. This is an urgent matter."
"Who are you……?"
Yan San obviously did not take Wang Bo's introduction seriously, nor did he expect that the "master" that Li Xiaogou knew could help.
"I'm Wang Mu. You gave me your birth date and time at the noodle stall before. Do you remember?"
There was a moment of silence on the line. When the next voice came through, Yan San sounded much more sober. "Hello, I just woke up and my mind is a bit confused, haha, please excuse me. You just said there was something urgent, I wonder what it was?"
"Before, you said your home wasn't very clean. I gave your birth date and time to that master, and he read your fortune. It was a very bad omen. He told me to convey his words to you in person, otherwise you would soon meet with a bloody disaster."
"Is it convenient for us to meet today?"
"Today? Today I..."
Yan San really didn't dare to completely trust a stranger. Li Xiaogou had expected this and immediately responded with a strong blow: "I understand your concerns. Master said he won't ask for any reward. But since you've come to him for help, it's his karma."
"That's not what I meant... I know from the way you talk that you're not liars, but this involves my family affairs after all..."
"It's not just you. Your parents' mental state is even more worrying now, right? Does your father often wake up in the middle of the night, muttering the names of some of the Yan family's deceased members?"
"How do you know?!"
"I don't know. This is what the master told me. He also said that everything your family is going through now stems from your disregard for the suffering of a child."
"child……"
"Yes. But that child should be your great-grandfather's generation."
"I...I'll ask my family for their opinion before I reply to you, okay?"
"Of course, but we're leaving here the day after tomorrow. You have to give me an answer today at the latest, otherwise I won't have time to help you break the disaster."
"good."
Li Xiaogou hung up the phone and smiled softly: "Wait for the call."
Everything he just said was information he got from Yan San, every word was true. Some of the big news was obtained using skills related to eating melons. Even Yan San himself might not know this information. His seeking confirmation from his elders would only deepen his trust in Li Xiaogou.
Soon, in less than twenty minutes, Yan San called back. This time, his attitude was much more respectful. He asked Li Xiaogou and Wang Bo to meet in a private room of the best hotel in town.
Li Xiaogou and Wang Bo entered the room just at the appointed time, and Yan San was already waiting in the room.
Seeing the two people, Yan San immediately stood up. Li Xiaogou noticed that even his fingertips were trembling slightly.
"Sit down." Li Xiaogou took the initiative. "The situation is exactly as I told you on the phone. If you are willing, I can help your family get rid of the disaster on behalf of my master."
"Yes, we are very willing." Yan San straightened his back slightly, "I wonder if I can meet with your master?"
Li Xiaogou didn't say anything, so Yan San immediately explained, "It's not that I don't believe you, but our whole family has been tortured for too long, and there are many things we want to ask Master for help."
"Ah." Li Xiaogou sighed heavily, "Master..."
"What happened, Master?"
Li Xiaogou's eyes flushed red. "This evil spirit in your family didn't appear overnight. It has been integrated with the Yan family's destiny for decades. Just by trying to understand the secret, Master was attacked. With his current physical condition, he won't be able to make it here."
Yan San was speechless and didn't know what to say, his fingers tightly clutching the hem of his clothes.
As for Wang Bo and Jiang Mu, they were shocked for a second before they forced themselves to control their expressions, which only refreshed their understanding of Li Xiaogou's acting skills.
Li Xiaogou patted Yan San's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Master has instructed me to do this. Even if I die on the spot, I will definitely help him do it. I will do what I say and I will not ask for any reward."
"As for your concern about outsiders finding out about our family affairs, we're leaving tomorrow, so even someone with a big mouth wouldn't have anywhere to tell anyone, right?"
Yan San's eyes scanned the three of them and he nodded fiercely, "Okay."
In the following time, he told Li Xiaogou the situation at home in detail.
After listening, Li Xiaogou nodded without showing any shock or surprise, which made Yan San feel a lot more at ease.
"Master calculated that the evil spirit of your family is not in your generation, and that you younger generations are all implicated. I had no idea what was going on, but it just so happened that a few of us visited your ancestral hall in town these past few days, and I found that the layout and feng shui of your ancestral hall are very consistent with Master's description of an evil place."
"Excuse me, has your ancestral hall been expanded several times?"
This is actually something that anyone with eyes can see, but after Li Xiaogou said this, it inexplicably took on a mysterious meaning, and Yan San was instantly frightened.
"Yes! I heard that it was built with money from the sideline employees who developed it in other places in the early years."
Li Xiaogou frowned: "You can check the origin of this branch."
Every expansion was financed by actual money. When the main temple was expanded, even the construction team was contracted by the other party.
Wait, engineering team?
Not only do you have to pay the money from people far away, but you also have to worry about hiring an engineering team?
How come I haven’t noticed these suspicious things before?
Yan San was secretly annoyed. Before he even started investigating, he had already convicted the person who secretly sponsored the construction of the ancestral hall.
The evidence does support this.
The account to which the money was originally transferred has now been closed, and the temporary phone number left for them for communication is no longer in service.
Yan San was completely stunned. He sat there with his eyes wide open, and everything from the coating on his tongue was numb.
After a while, he remembered that the life-saving straw was right in front of him. He looked at Li Xiaogou pleadingly: "Master, please save us."
Li Xiaogou smiled soothingly: "Don't worry, the hardest part is finding the problem. Now we've found it, and we can solve it quickly with the right medicine."
Yan San swallowed his saliva, and his body consciousness slowly recovered.
Li Xiaogou and his group were then taken directly to the ancestral hall by Yan San.
Chengzi told them that the person who was guarding the ancestral hall before was a branch of the Yan family. Perhaps they didn't want the affairs of the main family to be known. When they arrived, the person who was originally guarding the ancestral hall was not there. Yan San took out the key and opened the door for them.
Li Xiaogou stepped aside and said to Yan San, "I didn't introduce him to you just now because I can't easily reveal the identity of my junior brother. Now that there are no outsiders here, I will tell you directly. Although Master didn't come, after hearing about your story, he sent his closed disciple here without even my knowledge."
"Leave the rest to him."
Hope in despair is always sweeter. Compared with the half-baked college students who study ancient culture, the master's last disciple is much more reliable.
Now Yan San no longer thought about the master himself, and followed Jiang Mu happily.
Jiang Mu now has a square face and thick eyebrows, and he looks like he can kill three people with one punch.
He walked in front with a stern face, holding a compass in his right hand and calculating something with his left hand. As he walked, he muttered some incomprehensible words.
It’s profound, really profound.
Yan San was filled with awe and followed even closer.
Suddenly, Jiang Mu stopped and Yan San didn't have time to brake and bumped into Jiang Mu's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He apologized repeatedly, but when he looked up, he found that the person didn't even glance at him.
Following Jiang Mu's gaze, he explained thoughtfully, "This is because there is a source of living water. It is said that it can ensure that my family's descendants will have an endless supply of water."
Jiang Mu snorted coldly, a cold glint flashing across his eyes: "Endless supply? I think it will be cut off early."
Yan Sanda was so shocked that his mouth opened into an "O" shape.
At this time, Li Xiaogou also stepped forward, frowning as he walked around the pillar and said, "I'm not an expert in Feng Shui, but I have some knowledge of it. Feng Shui is a matter of influence. Living water is a good thing, but you've diverted all the living water from your house."
Yan San took a look and saw that it was indeed the case.
"Then what should I do? Should I get someone to block the exit?"
"Wouldn't it be flooded then?" As soon as Jiang Mu started talking, Yan San didn't dare to say anything else. Jiang Mu continued, "There's something strange about this pillar. Move aside."
Yan San stepped back.
Jiang Mu stretched out his right leg, taking a horse stance. He moved his hands several times in the air, then swiftly blasted forward.
A cloud of dust flew up, and he had actually punched a large piece of the pillar through!
Yan San's jaw dropped again. Jiang Mu's back became extremely tall in his eyes.
Jiang Mu reached in and groped in the darkness for a moment.
After a moment, he took out something.
It was a red bundle, wet, making the red look like thick blood.
Yan San unconsciously took several steps back.
"Follow me." Jiang Mu walked in front without saying a word. Yan San wanted to stretch his neck to see what was inside the pillar from a distance, but Li Xiaogou happened to walk through it and blocked Yan San's sight.
They followed Yan San into the main ancestral hall where tablets were enshrined.
When Yan San went in, Jiang Mu had already unpacked the package.
There were only a few white bones scattered on the red cloth. Judging from their length and size, it was easy for people to have certain associations.
"Ugh, what, what is this?!" Yan San's face turned green and he looked like he could vomit at any moment.
"They are human bones, and they are the bones of an underage boy. He might have been tortured to death before he died. The evil spirit is extremely strong." Jiang Mu said something shocking.
Li Xiaogou was worried that he had frightened Yan San into fainting, so he asked, "Is this the thing that's causing the Yan family's problems? Is there any way to resolve it?"
Jiang Mu shook his head, and then Yan San rolled his eyes and fell backwards.
"It cannot be resolved here. A consecrated magical instrument is needed to neutralize the evil spirit."
"Master, please save us."
Jiang Mu looked embarrassed: "I can only take this thing back and slowly remove the evil spirit from it. Can you accept it?"
"Yes, yes, it's absolutely possible." He wished that the master would take this thing away immediately.
Jiang Mu's eyes swept over the pillar. "This pillar, as a container, has been infected by evil spirits for too long. If it stays here for a while, it will become a disaster. I can only knock it down and take it away. You can discuss it with your family before making a decision."
"No need to discuss!" Yan San said decisively, "Master, feel free to knock!"
Jiang Mu's eyebrows curved. "Okay. This thing is harmful to the body if ordinary people touch it. I will do it myself. After that, I will draw a formation here to prevent the people who harmed you from knowing that this thing has been moved away."
"But I'll make a lot of noise when I do it, and I have to transport the stuff out... I'm worried that someone might get the news to that person."
Yan Sanyi sneered: "Master, don't worry, just do your job. I guarantee that no one can get close to here today. I have a good brother who I absolutely trust who is engaged in long-distance transportation. I will ask him to help with the transportation."
"Okay, that's settled then. Go and make the arrangements."
Yan San's dizziness disappeared instantly. He stood up from the ground and ran to the door, not forgetting to lock it.
Only after Yan San walked away did the people in the ancestral hall relax.
Wang Bo burst into laughter: "You are pretending really well, kid."
"What's wrong?" Li Xiaogou asked when he saw that Jiang Mu looked unwell.
Jiang Mu took a deep breath and took out something from his arms, a red bundle.
"What the hell, what is this, this, that, what is that?" Wang Bo's eyes were about to pop out.
Jiang Mu: "Human bones."
