Chapter 314: Sophora japonica
"Where's that child?" Zhong Nianyao suddenly asked, "Since he's lost his parents, have you helped him find them?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. All their attention was on Zhao Xuanlang, and thinking about it now, it was indeed a bit strange.
How could a drowned child suddenly appear in this mountain? Furthermore, if the child was separated from his parents, why did he leave immediately after thanking them? Where did the child end up?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shiver from the feet up.
Especially Liu Zihang, his face turned pale, and he also discovered something wrong.
The important thing is that when faced with such an unreasonable thing yesterday, none of them felt it was weird, and they didn’t even think about it carefully, as if they were possessed by an evil spirit.
When he thought of this, he suddenly felt colder.
After looking around, Zhong Nianyao spoke again, "Do you know? There are locust trees all around here."
"Is there...is there something wrong with this?" Liu Zihang asked bravely.
"The locust tree is the ghost among trees, also known as the ghost tree. It has a strong yin energy and is prone to attracting ghosts. In Feng Shui, locust trees are forbidden to be planted around houses." Zhong Nianyao explained, "There are locust trees all around here, and the yin energy is very strong, so it is naturally the best breeding ground for ghosts."
"You mean..." Liu Zihang swallowed and spoke with difficulty, "Did we encounter a ghost yesterday?"
As soon as he said this, a wave of fear welled up in his heart. He even had the urge to run away. He was already vaguely regretting coming here again. However, he didn't dare to walk around alone now, fearing something might happen. Staying here, at least with so many people around, would make him less afraid.
"Then why haven't I heard of anything like this happening in Xishan before?" Father Zhao frowned, somewhat puzzled. "Nian Yao, according to what you said, the yin energy here is so strong, and Xuan Lang even lost his soul here. Hasn't something like this happened before?"
"There must have been a murder here recently." Zhong Nianyao looked around and said, "This place has always had a very strong negative energy. Fortunately, no one lives here. Even if someone comes to climb the mountain, they are just passing by and will not stay for long. Nothing will happen."
"It's just that a murder happened here recently. It happened between 5 and 7 pm, which is the Yin time. The victim was probably killed by someone he trusted, which caused him to feel extremely resentful. He happened to be in this area of ghost trees and became a fierce ghost."
At this point, Zhong Nianyao turned her head and looked at Liu Zihang, and continued, "Actually, you guys are quite lucky. That evil spirit must have died not long ago, otherwise I'm afraid you guys would have died here yesterday."
Liu Zihang's face turned strange. At this moment, he should be shouting in his heart, "Thank you", but he was not comforted at all.
"Nianyao, what about Xiaolang?" Zhao's mother asked anxiously, "Why did he become like this? Why did this evil spirit only harm him?"
She didn't want anything to happen to anyone else, but she just didn't understand why her son was the only one to get into trouble.
"Zhao Xuanlang's life was once swapped with someone else's. Although he's been brought back, his fate is still somewhat unstable." Zhong Nianyao explained, "So he's quite unlucky. On weekdays, it's best for him to avoid places with strong yin energy, such as cemeteries."
Liu Zihang, who was standing by, was a little confused.
He could understand the previous talk about evil spirits, but now he couldn't understand what Zhong Nianyao was talking about, about exchanging lives. But this didn't stop him from understanding that this was a matter of metaphysics.
After figuring everything out, when he looked at Zhong Nian Yao again, his eyes changed.
After hearing so much, if he still couldn't see that Zhong Nian Yao was a member of the Xuanmen, then he would be a real fool.
Although many people now say it's feudal and superstitious, they all know that metaphysics is not just a legend. Even their company usually hires people to look at Feng Shui.
However, people at their level rarely come into contact with powerful people from the Xuanmen.
Unexpectedly, there was actually a Xuanmen person beside them. No wonder Zhao Xuanlang usually called Zhong Nianyao "Boss" and served her like a prostitute. It turned out that he had known about it all along and was just trying to curry favor with her!
"Then what should we do now?" Father Zhao couldn't help but speak, "Xiao Lang's soul——"
"Just recall him."
After saying that, Zhong Nianyao's eyes became stern, and her whole aura changed. She had been a little nonchalant, but now her eyes became sharp.
She took a step forward, raised her hand, took a deep breath, and then began to draw in the air with her fingers.
Every place she painted would emit a golden light. In the blink of an eye, a golden talisman pattern appeared in front of her.
"The profound wisdom is intertwined, the five qi surges. The golden light appears quickly, the evil spirits retreat, destroy it for me!"
As Zhong Nianyao's voice fell, the golden void talisman fell directly above the pool.
The originally calm water surface now began to bubble and boil like boiling water.
Zhong Nianyao turned around, looked at Zhao's father and mother, and said, "Start calling Zhao Xuanlang's name now."
After hearing Zhong Nian Yao's instructions, Zhao's father and mother did not hesitate at all and immediately began to shout Zhao Xuanlang's name loudly.
Zhong Nian Yao turned her head, her gaze still fixed on the pool of water, and she was on high alert, as if waiting for something.
Liu Zihang stood aside, watching everything that happened, and wanted to retreat as far as possible. However, thinking that this place was too dangerous, he did not dare to move.
Otherwise, if something really happens and a fierce ghost appears, he will be in danger.
As Zhong Nianyao watched, a faint white smoke rose from the pool. Then she immediately formed seals with her hands and began to guide the soul back to Zhao Xuanlang.
At the same time, the talisman emitting golden light above the pool suddenly began to scatter in the void and then disappeared.
On the other side, Zhao Xuanlang also opened his eyes, slowly sat up, and asked dazedly, "Where is this?"
