Gu Miao: I understand the principle, but where am I in this chapter? ? ?

There was an empty house in the southwest corner of the residential area. Qiu Yanping went to check it out at night. It was empty, but that did not surprise Qiu Yanping. Death gates are not suitable for human habitation. Usually, buildings built in such places are slaughterhouses, cemeteries, and morgues.

A pine tree on the left and a cypress on the right stand on either side of the main entrance of the empty house. These two trees are the type that grow slowly, and now they look a little stunted.

Outside the main gate are two small lawns, the grass is dry and the scene looks gray and desolate.

Not many people come here on weekdays, and those who come must have a purpose.

Qiu Yanping really liked the developed information chain of this time and space. He didn't need to figure out everything by himself. He could just search on the interstellar network and find everything he needed to know. Qiu Yanping found out why this house had become an empty house with no one living in it.

Although this location is not suitable for human habitation, it is clear that people lived here in the past. The Feng Shui of the Death Gate is not unchangeable. If someone lives here, then it would not be in such a miserable state if some effort was made to change the layout.

A young couple used to live here. They were very loving on weekdays, but they had small quarrels occasionally. This in itself was not a problem, but the feng shui pattern exacerbated the intensity of these quarrels. Over time, they had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every two days.

Later, they had a child. Not long after the child was born, the woman developed symptoms of postpartum depression. The man did not take it seriously until one day when he came home from get off work and found that the woman was holding the stuffed bear she bought to entertain the child, tightly covering the child's mouth and nose. When the man took the child back, the child's face was already purple from suffocation. Before the ambulance arrived, the little life was gone.

The woman's confession at the time was a neurotic account. Qiu Yanping saw in the video that the woman in the camera tilted her neck and her pupils dilated. "The child kept making noises in my ears. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I just picked up something to block it. Then he stopped making noises. There was no sound at all..."

The woman was not imprisoned, but was arrested and sent to a mental hospital. A year later, the woman seemed to have recovered her sanity, but she committed suicide in the ward because she could not bear the fact that she had strangled her own child with her own hands.

By some coincidence, the woman's suicide occurred exactly one year after the child was strangled.

This morning marks the first anniversary of the woman's death and the second anniversary of the child's death.

If anyone were to come to this empty house, it would be today. The child's father, the woman's husband, would come today to mourn his deceased wife and newborn child.

Qiu Yanping felt sorry for the man's experience, but to put it more coldly, these experiences were the consequences of the man's own actions. Feng Shui was just a driving force. If the man had not neglected his wife and lacked care, he would not have ended up in such a situation.

Qiu Yanping still remembered that the great elder of the Qiu family used to lecture with a shaking head. Although he was under house arrest and was not allowed to go to the school to attend lectures, he still sneaked in to attend a few classes. During one of those times, the great elder said that Feng Shui is a combination of the right time, the right place, and the right people, and human affairs are the easiest to be overlooked among these three.

People often think that the art of Feng Shui is too mysterious, but in fact, in essence, it is nothing more than the consequences of the ancestors' future deeds.

Qiu Yanping calculated that the man was destined to have this disaster. If he saved this man, he would break the Three Palaces Fire Array and save the thousands of residents, but it would also go against the arrangement of heaven. Before the time came, Qiu Yanping spread out his palm to ask the villain in the Merit Shop. Heaven required him to do good deeds, but did not allow him to disrupt the original track. What should he do?

In his palm, the little man with a braided head shook his head and said, "What you think is the path of heaven is not necessarily the path of heaven, and the fate you see is not necessarily the predetermined fate. How you should deal with yourself is entirely up to you to decide, and Xiao Gongde should not say too much to influence you."

Qiu Yanping listened to the villain's ambiguous words, frowned slightly, clenched his palms and pursed his lips.

The fate you see is not necessarily the predetermined fate - is this encouraging him to save people?

So if God gets unhappy in the future and strikes with lightning, what equipment can I get to block it?

Qiu Yanping curled his lips. It turned out that the one who was struck by lightning was not that villain. He instigated it so obviously, and he even said something like "it's not good to say too much". How hypocritical, really hypocritical.

While thinking this, Qiu Yanping did not stop practicing. He buried the ancient Five Emperors coins under the door railing of the empty house. These coins were what he had exchanged for from the Merit Shop. The Five Emperors coins could ward off evil spirits and relieve the negative energy of the Death Door, in case the man entered the house and the negative energy in the house was too strong, and he was missing a few things and could not save the man's life in time.

In fact, according to Qiu Yanping's personality, he would rather take the man away from this empty house. Without the man, the Death Gate would not be able to complete the elements to activate the formation even if it was here, but in this way, there would be no way to know who controlled and arranged all this. Qiu Yanping also didn't believe that the person behind the scenes would give up because of a failed plan. If he let the other party go here, he would probably have to wait until the next victim appeared before he could locate the other party again.

If other victims were to arise as a result of his interference, he would have committed a serious crime.

Qiu Yanping didn't have to wait too long. At about three o'clock in the morning, the man appeared.

To be honest, Qiu Yanping had never understood why the man chose this time to come to this empty house to mourn his wife and children. It was not until he followed the man into the inner room and saw the man put up a white banner to summon the spirits that he understood.

Three o'clock in the morning is the time when yin energy is at its strongest and ghosts are most rampant. It is also the time when the yang energy in the human body is at its lowest. At this time, people can often see things through the mirror that cannot be seen during the day. This is because the mirror itself is an object that absorbs air.

The practice of using white flags to summon souls and allowing yin and yang to meet in the mirror has always been a legend among the people.

The dead and the living are separated by a gap, so it is understandable that the living would want to see the dead again.

Qiu Yanping shook his head and broke the man's summoning of the spirit.

——It’s a pity that most of the rumors among the people are wrong. The spirits summoned, as they say in the Feng Shui world, are mirror souls.

The mirror that the man used to summon spirits should be the mirror that was originally placed in the house. The mirror absorbs human energy. Over time, the breath of the living people in the house nurtures the spirits in the mirror. When the yin energy is extremely strong, the mirror spirit will appear in the memory of the living. The mirror spirit feeds on the memory of the living. The person who summons the mirror spirit will gradually forget the people they miss, forget what happened, what should be remembered, what should not be remembered, everything will be forgotten, and the person will live in confusion.

The man was startled by the sudden change in front of him, his eyes widened and he shouted, "Who is it?! Who is there?!"

Just as Qiu Yanping was about to come out, he heard a distorted, rough voice coming from the other corner, "Haha, it looks like there's an uninvited kid here today."

Qiu Yanping raised his eyebrows, little devil?

"Who on earth is playing tricks here?!" The man's fear seemed to soar to the point of collapse because of this sentence. After all, coming to an empty house where someone had died in the middle of the night, remembering the dead and continuing an old relationship was already scary enough, but now something like this had to happen.

Qiu Yanping looked at the man sitting on the cold floor with some sympathy. If you are not brave enough, don't play with these things. Now you have made a fool of yourself, haven't you?

Qiu Yanping walked out of the dark corner slowly. "I was curious and wanted to see how old the old ghost was who went to so much trouble to set up the Sangongli Fire Array."
