Chapter 20



[Shocking reversal? ! ! People in Poshi Village will suffer as soon as they leave the mountains. Is what No. 7 said true? ! ]

[This is too magical, is it possible that everyone in their village is cursed? ]

[Okay, I take back what I said before. These villagers are also pitiful people. If they knew that they would not live long after they were born, no one would feel good! ]

【……】

When Gu Zhisang finished speaking, people inside and outside the live studio were filled with shock and doubt. Several staff members in charge of filming and supervising in the hall also looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were the group of people who went into the mountains to look for Poshi Village before filming began and sought the village head's consent for filming. They had heard some rumors about this village.

According to the people living in the mountains, Poshi Village is a village shrouded in ominous circumstances.

It and the people inside it have been abandoned by the mountain god. The god no longer protects them. Anyone who enters this village will encounter disaster!

In the early years, there were people from other villages who intermarried with the Po-shi village. However, the Po-shi village wives they married home either died before they returned home, or suddenly fell ill and had a difficult labor and hemorrhage during childbirth, resulting in one death and two deaths, turning a happy event into a funeral.

Those girls from other families who married into the Po-style village were healthy and able to run and jump when they were girls at home. However, after marrying into the Po-style village and daughters becoming-in-law, they either got sick or died in their thirties or forties.

As time went by, the surrounding villages all said that the ancestors of the Poshi village must have committed sins and done something against the will of heaven and earth and were punished by the mountain god. They no longer married people from the Poshi village, and in recent years they even stopped having any contact with them.

But even the villagers who have lived nearby for decades didn't know that everyone who went out of the village had met with misfortune. The people in their production team hadn't even heard a rumor. How could Gu Zhisang even see this? !

The villagers of Poshi Village, who had been frowning, looked at Gu Zhisang in disbelief. After a while, the middle-aged woman on the far right couldn't help but speak in poor Mandarin with a strong rural accent:

"How do you know that?"

Gu Zhisang: "The art of physiognomy told me that everyone's life is written on their face. Whether it's family fortune, misfortune, wealth, life or death, it's all reflected on your face."

After obtaining consent from the village head and other villagers, the program team asked her to tell about the disaster she saw.

So Gu Zhisang said, "Auntie in blue, there are three lines of children in your horoscope, all of them are males, but three thin lines have appeared at your life gate, accompanied by depression, which means that the three children are gone."

"The first two children were very close in age, probably born one year before and one year after. They had a good relationship, but both drowned when they were eight or nine years old. Two years later, your third child was born, and he grew up relatively healthy. However, last autumn, he decided to leave the village and the mountains, and died unexpectedly two months later."

"Of my three children, why am I the only one with such a miserable life?!" As soon as she finished speaking, the lady in blue started to cry out, "It's all my fault that I didn't stop the third child from running out of the mountain. I ruined him!"

She is already 49 years old this year, which is considered "long-lived" in Poshi Village. However, she gave birth to three children, two of whom died young, drowning while playing in Long Lake.

The arrival of the third child brought her some comfort, and she gradually forgot the pain brought by the death of the first two children.

Who knows what kind of books he read half a year ago, and how he was fooled by people from outside who came to investigate, and he and a group of young people in the village insisted on leaving the mountains, saying that it would be better to see the world outside than to wait for death in the mountains.

The lady in blue couldn't persuade her third son, and she had a bit of hope in her heart: What if her son could escape the fate of early death after he got out?

So her only remaining son left the mountains and found a job on a construction site. Every time he called her, his tone was full of joy:

'Mom, the world outside the mountain is more exciting than what's on TV. When I save up enough money, I'll buy you a smartphone and take pictures of the outside world for you. When I make a lot of money, I'll buy you a house outside and move you out of the mountain!'

Such a filial Sanwa died unexpectedly at a construction site three months after he left the mountains. He was hit directly by a steel plate that fell off the noose, and even his body could not be recovered completely.

When the police outside contacted her, she fainted on the spot, and after waking up, she almost died with her three children.

Now that the sad thing that had been hidden deep in her heart was pointed out by Gu Zhisang, the lady in blue broke down emotionally.

After the crying gradually subsided, Gu Zhisang continued, "Speaking of your disciple, Grandma, judging from her face, she has the fate of being born as a twin, which means she has a twin sister, but the connection between them has been severed, which means that the girl is now dead."

The Great Witch's disciple covered his mouth with his hands, tears welling up in his eyes, and choked up:

"Yes, my sister was among those who left the city. She was hit by a car at an intersection in the city at night. The driver ran away and has not been caught yet. I want to go out and investigate this matter, but..."

Both her parents and her master strongly opposed it when they heard that her sister wanted to leave the mountains. They locked her up at home and did not allow her to go out. When her sister was transported back to the mountains, only her ashes in the bucket were left.

Her father had been smoking a pipe at the door all night, "This is our fate. Whoever walks out of the mountains will suffer. But your sister won't listen."

In addition to the two families in the synagogue, Gu Zhisang also mentioned that she saw several other families during the sacrifices, all of whom had good fortunes in having children, but all of them had already broken off;

These were also confirmed by the villagers present at the scene, and they were all families with young people who left the mountains but died outside.

Now everyone was stunned, even Xun Yiqing stared with his eyes wide open, looking unwilling to believe but unable to refute.

[Gu Zhisang is so terrible. Anyone who says she doesn't know metaphysics is really a deaf and blind kid!!]

[It's so tragic, so tragic. All three children of this aunt in blue clothes died. How desperate she must have been! ]

[It's really scary to think about it, brothers. Look at the villagers standing in this house. None of them has not had a family member die recently! When I went up the mountain, I felt strange. Why do the graves on the mountain behind the village look so new? It seems that they were buried not long ago! ! ]

[So this time, Gu Zhisang was right again, right? Sister Sang is so awesome! ! ]

Amid the uproar in the comments, the village headmistress, who had been staring at Gu Zhisang, sneered and said:

"For so many years, there have been waves of people coming to our village pretending to look at Feng Shui and geology, but they are not as discerning as a little girl!"

Hearing this, Xun Yiqing's already ugly expression turned even more grim. Was this old woman hinting at him? !

"Those mediocre people outside say that our village is cursed and rejected by the Mountain Goddess. Their vision is so shallow and ridiculous!" The village head snorted, "Our ancestors were given the surname of the Mountain Goddess. They have been the protectors of the mountains for generations. How can we be compared with those mortal bloodlines!"

"Protecting Poshan is the mission of our Poshi Village. We were originally living peacefully in our own place, but you outsiders insisted on disturbing us and seducing the young people in our village." The village head, Granny, said coldly: "Those ignorant kids of theirs betrayed the mountain goddess, and the consequence they got was the punishment given to us by the mountain!"

The program crew and the audience behind the camera finally understood why the villagers showed hatred and wanted to beat and smash things when they saw them and the camera carried by the cameraman.

In their eyes, it was the outsiders who brought knowledge and the wonders of the outside world into the mountains. The school education they talked about, the books and televisions they brought, made the young people in the mountains restless.

The young children were no longer willing to guard the mountains for their entire lives; they insisted on going out to see the outside world. It was because of this that they angered the mountain goddess, who punished them.

The village headmistress said: "So we don't welcome outsiders like you. Don't gossip and incite them in front of the children in the village. If I find out, I will definitely not let you off easily!"

The blue-dressed woman who was still sobbing at this time also showed hatred on her face. She looked at the program crew and said, "You guys should leave quickly. Don't disturb the peace of our village anymore, and don't lead our children astray!"

[Oh my god, these villagers are so ignorant. In this era where knowledge can change one's destiny, there are still people who have such thoughts? ? ]

[The above comment is too strange. The more backward the mountain is, the more people think that studying is useless! They think that they can survive by relying on the supplies in the mountains and water, and studying is a waste of time. There are actually many places like this. ]

[Even if they don't leave the house for the rest of their lives, it's not normal for people in this village to only live to fifty, right? ? ! ]

【……】

Gu Zhisang suddenly raised his eyes: "Mother-in-law, are you not going to solve this problem?"

The village head paused and narrowed her cloudy eyes: "Then tell me, what method do you have to solve it?"

"The reason why the village is located in a Feng Shui treasure land, but it is manifested as a poor place, doesn't the mother-in-law really know what is going on?" Gu Zhisang said coldly:

"One cave has two uses to conceal the secrets of heaven, and the living provide the foundation for the dead. This is a taboo in Feng Shui! These people in the village are all your fellow villagers, descendants, and even relatives. Would you rather watch them walk down the old path of 'fate' one after another than completely break the shackles that imprison your tribe?"

Her words were very clear, but the villagers and the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't understand them at all. However, from the sudden change in the expression of the village head and the strange atmosphere between the two, they could vaguely understand what she meant:

The village chief seems to know how to break the "curse" of Poshi Village?

Seeing the eyes of several villagers looking over, the old woman looked gloomy. She stared at Gu Zhisang for a long time before slowly saying:

"I don't understand what you are saying, old lady."

After saying that, she supported herself with a cane and stood up with the help of her apprentice. "I'm tired and don't want to care about what you want to shoot. The sun has set today. Juanzi will clean up a few uninhabited yards in the back mountain for you. You can rest for a night and leave quickly tomorrow."

After the village head lady left, only a few villagers and the program crew were left in the hall, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The host Liu conscientiously read out the closing words:

"Dear audience friends, the second half of the group competition has come to an end. According to the director team and online real-time voting, the top four contestants are No. 7 Gu Zhisang, No. 2 Bai Ci, No. 1 Xun Yiqing and No. 9 He Mi Tu. These four contestants are the top four contestants of this episode of "Spiritual Affairs". Let us congratulate them!"

"As for the elimination list, three candidates have already emerged based on public vote."

There is no doubt that the person to be eliminated in this episode will be chosen from the three contestants who have not found their mother-in-law’s village at all, and the person who is finally voted out is the rich second generation No. 5.

Liu said: "Does contestant No. 5 have anything else to say about this result?"

No. 5 said bitterly: "There's nothing much to say. I'm really here for fun. I can only say that if you don't have the guts, don't come here to commit suicide. These mysterious things really exist!!"

The barrage was full of laughter:

[No. 5 is such a funny guy. My enjoyment of watching the show is reduced by half when he leaves.]

[He looks exactly like me after I went to the haunted house, both naive and playful! ]

[No. 5 is a shill hired by the program team, hahaha, he acted very well, don’t act again next time. ]

[Are the contestants and the director going down the mountain now? Are they really going to stay in this village? Everyone, please be safe! ]

After the show was announced to be over, the production crew turned off the cameras and began to dismantle other makeshift facilities in the hall.

The young woman named Juanzi who was beside the village head's mother-in-law before said with indifference, "Come with me."

It is already after eight or nine o'clock, and it is very dark in the mountains at night. It is neither safe nor practical to go down the mountain immediately. Although everyone feels uncomfortable staying in this village, they still stay there temporarily.

Perhaps because they were too tired, the people in the program crew fell asleep unconsciously.

Li Chenghe, who was sleeping, felt himself slapping several times and suddenly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a slender person standing at the head of the wooden bed, which frightened his heart.

"Master Gu... Master Gu?" He looked confused. "What are you doing at my bedside?"

Gu Zhisang didn't go to bed for some reason. He was dressed neatly and looked a little strange. "How did you negotiate with the village chief before you came here?"

Li Chenghe: "We just told her that we wanted to shoot a program about visiting their village, and she agreed. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Didn't you tell them it was live?"

"That's not the case..."

Gu Zhisang was somewhat speechless. She clasped her hands together and muttered, "Because of his might, he is the most holy, the Supreme Supreme, he stood for seventeen years, and his words soared. He will be the one who ...

"Master Gu, what are you doing?" Li Chenghe was a little panicked.

However, the next second, Gu Zhisang's knuckles were quickly pricking at several acupuncture points on his chest, and the sound of his incantation suddenly became louder, "...Great compassion, great wish, great saint, great mercy, infinite salvation. I obey the order of the Supreme Lord Laozi!①"

He only felt a sharp pain rising from his chest, and as his abdomen was stabbed, he opened his mouth to cry out in pain;

Before he could even utter a word, he felt a wave of nausea rising up in his stomach. His throat contracted twice and he vomited a pool of fishy, ​​smelly, sour water with a "wow".

Li Chenghe felt bitter and astringent in his mouth, but the dizzy feeling in his head disappeared. He looked carefully and saw a fat and soft worm as thick as a little finger in the vomit on the ground under the moonlight, wriggling and twisting in the bitter water! !

This stuff came out of his stomach!

At that moment, nausea, fear, horror and other emotions surged into his heart. He got goosebumps all over his body and looked away. Without time to speak, he stumbled to the corner of the wall, holding his stomach and retching.

Li Chenghe stared blankly for a while, and when he turned his head, he saw Gu Zhisang picking up the insect with a thin branch and putting it into a glass jar that he had found from somewhere.

He didn't dare to look at the jar at all, and said in a trembling voice while trying to suppress his nausea:

"Master Gu, what is this? Why is it in... my stomach?!"

Gu Zhisang's eyes were cold and gloomy. "This is 'Gu'."

Gu worms are most common in Xiangcheng, but they are not found only there. Depending on the purpose, these worms are often placed in jars with different species of five poisons, and then allowed to eat each other.

The one that survived at last became the "Gu".

If the "gu" are put into the same container and kill each other repeatedly, the "gu king" will be raised. This kind of insect often needs to be fed with blood, yin energy, live insects, etc. It has been common for a small insect to kill a person since ancient times.

"Gu?!" Li Chenghe suddenly remembered what He Mi Tu said in the afternoon, that the old village chief was a 'witch' who could use a Gu worm to hang her apprentice's life. He had a Gu worm in his stomach for no reason, so it was clear who had done it!

"Why did she do that? The villagers smashed my camera and I didn't ask them to pay for it. If you don't want us to take pictures, then don't agree to it!"

Li Chenghe felt aggrieved and devastated. He felt that this episode was a thankless task for him and he almost lost his life!

Gu Zhisang coughed lightly, "It should be directed at me. I revealed the secret that the old witch wanted to hide, and she was afraid that I would leak it out."

In order to cover up the secret she tried so hard to conceal, the old woman chose to kill everyone to silence them, and her methods were cruel and vicious. She directly cast a curse on everyone in the program crew!

Gu Zhisang's body was protected by the 'Qi' she cultivated inside and outside her body. She sensed it the moment the insect came close to her skin. When she got up and saw that the other staff members were drowsy, she knew that they had all been infected.

But the old witch had never stepped out of the mountains, was short-sighted and self-satisfied, and she thought that the camera carried by the program team was the same as those who went into the mountains to shoot documentaries before, and needed to be edited before being released;

She had no idea that there was such a thing as 'live broadcast' in this world.

The program group's trip to the Po-shi Village has already been watched online by millions of viewers, and related hot searches are still hanging on the Internet.

Even if they were really killed by Gu in the mountains, the police would come directly to them.

Li Chenghe: "What secret did you find out about her?!"

"This Poshi Village is not a mountain guardian at all. They are a clan of tomb guardians that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day." Gu Zhisang said in a flat tone, as if he was talking about something insignificant:

"What we are standing on should be an imperial tomb."

Li Chenghe:? ! !

"Let's call the police first." Gu Zhisang said, and dialed the police line. The operator on the other end of the phone picked up:

"Hello, this is the Municipal Public Security Bureau. How can I help you?"

Gu Zhisang: "I found a large and well-preserved tomb complex in Poshan. It is estimated that it is the tomb of an emperor from more than 600 years ago. The authorities need to take over and deal with it. In addition, I reported that the village chief of Poshi Village used Gu to kill tourists in an attempt to silence them. Please ask the police to arrest him as soon as possible."

operator:??

He started to doubt his life after hearing this. What about tomb clusters and poisonous insects? This person must be making up stories to report a false alarm and waste police resources!

However, he then heard the female voice on the other end of the phone say, "I'm not kidding. You can report it. There must be someone high enough among your superiors to know about these things."

The operator frowned. After all, this was the border of Southern Province and there were indeed many mysterious legends, including the legend about the Poshan Tomb.

After hesitating for a moment, he still doubted and called his superior.

Soon, calls came in one after another, and the operator also received urgent inquiries...

——

Li Chenghe was full of doubts after hearing the shocking secret, but he knew that now was not the time to ask further questions.

Gu Zhisang used the "Exorcism Curse" that had just been cast on him to exorcise the people who were unconscious due to the poisonous insects one by one. The insects that were induced to vomit were collected in a glass bottle, which looked very creepy.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the small building where they lived. The person who came was Bai Ci, who looked anxious. Seeing Gu Zhisang and other staff members retching, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"You've also discovered that there's nothing wrong with the people in my building."

Those poisonous insects never got close to him and the others and died instantly, all eaten by his hedgehog.

Gu Zhisang gave him a meaningful look, and after the young man avoided his sight, he said, "There is another group of people living in the southernmost part, I will go there now."

Bai Ci: "I'll go too."

The two walked to the solitary building in the south, one after the other, and found it quiet. Gu Zhisang kicked the door open and walked in. When he saw the young man wearing cotton cloth standing by the bed, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

He Mi Tu rubbed his eyes, as if awakened by the noise, and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Gu Zhisang: ...

"They were bewitched, didn't you know?"

He Mi Tu was shocked. "How could this happen? I didn't even notice it. Maybe the poisonous insects sensed my aura and automatically avoided me."

This explanation was really far-fetched. As a sorcerer who played with Gu, he didn't notice that there was a Gu insect in the house. Gu Zhisang didn't believe it at all. He just didn't know why this person felt it but didn't try to stop it or help.

All I saw were people lying in all directions, knocked down by the poisonous insects.

A decent person like Xun Yiqing was totally unprepared for these insidious tactics and actually fell into their trap.

She only opened up one of Xun Yiqing's acupoints, and he forced the poisonous insect out by himself. It turned out that he had discovered the poisonous insect the moment it entered his body, and had been blocking the acupoints to prevent it from invading deeper.

After realizing that he was saved by Gu Zhisang, Xun Yiqing's expression froze: "Thank you..."

Over there, Bai Ci also forced out the poisonous insects in the bodies of the two people, and the huge hedgehog at his feet swallowed them up with its head raised;

When it came to the last person, he was not in a good condition because of the delay.

The Gu worm is only as big as a hair at first, but once it enters a person's body, it starts to devour the person's vitality and flesh, and continues to expand.

The poison used by the great witch was of an extremely ferocious and greedy kind, which could devour a living person in two or three hours.

The other players who woke up also realized the seriousness of the situation. Daisy's face turned pale. "What should we do now?"

Gu Zhisang frowned, "The bug is in his heart now. It's not good to force it out. It will damage his heart and lungs."

Xun Yiqing stood up suddenly and said, "I'll go catch that old witch!"

At this time, the old monk, who had always been kind and gentle, put his hands together and said, "Let me give it a try."

He walked forward and rolled up his sleeves. Only then did Gu Zhisang see that the skin on his arm was full of pits and pits. The old monk cut his arm and placed it on the unconscious man's chest. Immediately, blood flowed down his fingers, and a strange, fishy and sweet smell filled the air.

"What is this?" Others had never seen this method before, but Gu Zhisang was a little surprised.

According to legend, Tathagata Buddha cut off his flesh to feed eagles and fed his body to tigers. He practiced the path of compassion to the extreme and eventually became a Buddha.

The Zen path that this monk practices is the path of compassion, which is a type of ascetic monk that requires cultivating the mind and body. It is a very difficult and demanding Buddhist practice;

Even she had only seen him once in her previous life, and she didn't expect that there would be such a Buddhist practitioner in the "Spiritual Affairs" program team.

After the old monk's blood dripped onto the man's chest, a small bulge appeared there soon. A big insect as thick as a thumb crawled out of it and greedily sucked the monk's blood.

Gu Zhisang was quick to pick it up and seal it in a glass bottle. From then on, all the poisonous insects in everyone's body were removed.

She took out a talisman from her sleeve, held it between her fingers, and when she raised her hand, the talisman began to burn at her fingertips. After putting it into the bottle, the poisonous insect inside was burned, making it crackle and struggle continuously.

A sharp and painful scream was heard from the main house of Poshi Village, which was closest to the ancestral hall. The villagers who heard the noise put on their clothes and rushed in, only to see the naked village head mother-in-law with half of her body slumped under the bed, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Grandma, are you okay?!"

The village head looked resentful. She had not expected that all her Gu would be caught so quickly and strangled to death. "It's them... Don't let them get away!"

Their clan’s mission and the ancestral land they have protected all their lives must not be destroyed by anyone!

The villager gnashed his teeth and said, "Did those outsiders hurt you? I knew I shouldn't have let them in. I will gather the villagers to catch them now!"

Soon, lights were turned on in every household in the village. When they heard that outsiders had injured the village head's mother-in-law, hundreds of families in the village rushed out, holding hammers and axes, and flocked to the small building.

The program crew, including the staff, had only about 30 people in total. Facing a group of armed and aggressive villagers, they had no advantage at all.

Hearing the noises and scolding approaching from outside, Li Chenghe and the others looked terrified, "What should we do now? These villagers are unreasonable and we can't reason with them at all!"

Daisy sneered and suddenly pulled out a knife from her bosom, "Don't be afraid of these people, everyone knows some witchcraft! If they dare to come over, I will let them taste the taste of the substitute Gu!"

The substitute witchcraft is a kind of witchcraft in the Norse witchcraft faction. The witch uses her own body as a medium, and all the wounds inflicted on her body will be transferred to another body.

In other words, if Daisy stabs herself, a knife wound will appear on the opposite villager's body. If she breaks her own neck, the opponent will die directly from a broken neck.

Gu Zhisang frowned and stretched out his hand to block it. "Witchcraft always has backlash. There's no need for this."

She hesitated for a moment and took out a stack of yellow paper from her backpack.

The villagers outside were still approaching aggressively, shouting to be let out, while Gu Zhisang inside was still holding a pair of scissors and slowly cutting a thick stack of yellow paper.

She cut out a stack of human-shaped paper, then closed her eyes and rubbed the paper in her palms, "God-given power, throwing beans to make soldiers, Taishang Laojun, hurry up and obey the command!"

After she finished speaking, a surge of energy flowed from her body to her palm. She suddenly raised her hand, and the human-shaped yellow paper in her hand flew out.

This is a kind of divination in Qi Men Dun Jia. According to legend, there was a strange man in the army in ancient times named Ma Yin. He grabbed a handful of beans and scattered them, and they turned into millions of ghost soldiers who defeated the enemy.

This kind of magic does exist, but its power has been greatly exaggerated. It is not just beans that can be turned into soldiers. It is actually using the caster's "qi" to fill the objects that serve as the body, allowing them to "come alive" briefly.

The stronger the spellcaster's ability, the more 'bean soldiers' he can command, and the greater their power.

Outside the house, villagers speaking their local dialect were discussing how to break in directly. Suddenly, there was a loud 'bang' and the door and window of the small building were violently pushed open from the inside.

Then they saw a scene that they would never forget.

Long and flat "people" with stiff hands and feet and rough and blurred facial features poured out from the doors and windows one after another, looking particularly eerie and strange in the moonlight.

The timid villagers met those staring eyes and dared not even look carefully, stumbling back and forth: "Ghost! There is a ghost!!"

There were too many paper soldiers, and they looked too terrifying. Amid the screams, the villagers who bullied the weak and feared the strong fled in panic.

When the wind blows, there are no ghosts in front of the small building. Palm-sized pieces of yellow paper in the shape of people are blown by the wind and swirl in the air...

——

In the second half of the night, a large number of officials carrying flashlights finally found Poshi Village.

When they called the villagers out of their homes and detained them, for some reason they all looked pale and kept saying that there was an evil ghost in the village.

After experiencing a terrifying day, the program crew finally relaxed after seeing the familiar police badges and uniforms. They were so excited that they almost cried.

Among them was a middle-aged man wearing a windbreaker and having semi-long hair. He was smoking a cigarette and walked up to Gu Zhisang to take a look at him.

He extended his hand and said sternly, "Hello, I am a member of the official special department - the Spirit Group: Gu Xuechun, the director of the Southern Province branch. It was you who said that the tomb was found in Poshan?"

Gu Zhisang hummed, "It's just below this village."

"Are you sure?" Gu Xuechun frowned. They had looked at all possible places in Poshan but found nothing. And when they passed by this village several times, no one suspected that the tomb was underneath because the feng shui of the soil around this village was so bad.

How could an emperor's tomb be built on such feng shui?

At this moment, a police officer came over with the depressed village headmistress. When she saw Gu Zhisang, she showed resentment on her face: "Are you going to kill all of our villagers, little girl? You will be punished!!"

Gu Zhisang curled his lips and said, "I don't know if I will be punished, but you have been attacked. To be honest, old lady, I feel sorry for you. Don't you know that the reason why the people in this village have lost their lifespans and are too weak to leave the village is because of the tomb you guarded like a treasure?"

Gu Xuechun suddenly had an idea in his mind, as if he had grasped something: "Guarding the grave?"

"Yes, they should be the descendants of craftsmen, the tomb keeper clan."

In ancient times, when the emperor built a tomb complex, once construction began it would take a long time. The best craftsmen would be selected to enter the tomb to build the mausoleum. In order to prevent them from sneaking out, the court would send people to gather their relatives and children to live together.

Often it would take more than ten years to build a tomb. After it was completed, in order to prevent the various mechanisms and structures in the tomb from being revealed, the craftsmen would be killed and buried with the deceased in the tomb.

Some emperors were rather cold-hearted and would not rest at ease even after killing the craftsmen. They would drive the craftsmen's descendants and relatives to live around the mausoleum, and make them tomb keepers to guard the imperial mausoleum for generations.

In the beginning, the existence of the "Great Witch" was to deceive the descendants of these craftsmen and brainwash them so that they would not think of escaping.

In this way, this group of people slowly formed a village around the mausoleum and settled down there.

Each generation of "Great Shaman" will select disciples to inherit his mantle and tell them about the existence of the imperial tomb. Only the "Great Shaman" knows their true mission.

Gu Zhisang looked at the village head and said, "If it was just guarding the tomb, it would be fine. Unfortunately, the emperor your ancestor met was not a good person. He knew that the dragon vein of this mountain was extremely prosperous, and the mountains and rivers surrounded it to form a treasure cave. Feng shui masters and tomb robbers in later generations knew at a glance that an emperor was buried here. In order to avoid being dug up after his death, he came up with a Feng Shui method to hide the emperor: two tombs in one cave, using the vitality of the living to stabilize the foundation of the dead."

Hearing this, Gu Xuechun's eyes widened suddenly and the cigarette butt in his mouth almost fell to the ground.

“So that’s how it is… So that’s how it is!”

The village head's mother-in-law was a little panicked. She didn't understand what Gu Zhisang was saying, but she vaguely felt that those were words she couldn't bear.

Her master told her since she was a child that they were tomb keepers and mountain keepers. This was their clan's mission and they must never violate it.

If you violate the mission, you will be punished!

She was convinced of it.

The facts proved that this was indeed the case. Those children who left the mountains never came back.

Gu Zhisang: "There is a group of tombs under the treasure cave. In order to cover up the real cave qi from being discovered, a layer of open tomb needs to be added directly above the cave entrance. If I am not mistaken, the ancestral hall of your Poshi Village is in the northeast. In this way, by covering the feng shui cave with yin and yang tombs, the aura around the cave entrance can be reversed. On the surface, it looks like the feng shui here is not good and the geology is barren, but in fact, this is all an illusion. The real dragon qi flows into the underground tomb along the covered cave entrance!"
