In the end, they all agreed to first invite the shaman next door to take a look, and if she really couldn't handle it, they would go to the end of the county to ask for help.
Anyway, the solution was found by the wise man. He felt that the shaman next door was mostly a fraud. When he was unlucky, he had sought help from her and even drank talisman water several times, but he was still unlucky.
Xun Xingshun directly selected a few people in the village, all of whom had marriage alliances with neighboring villages, and this matter needed to be handled by them.
Now that a solution has been found, the others can't just sit here doing nothing; the work in the fields can't be delayed.
After finishing all the tasks, Xun Xingshun also thought of Kuang Wu. This person's background was unknown, so it seemed he had to go to the village to inquire about him.
A strange thought crossed his mind: how could it be such a coincidence? He had just arrived yesterday and stayed at Li Wang's house, and this strange thing happened last night.
However, it's not so easy for ordinary people to summon a spirit. I didn't see any of the tools that shamans use at Li Wang's house yesterday.
He called his eldest grandson, Xun Rongchun, over and asked him and Xun Meiguang to take people to the village to inquire.
When he led his men to look for Kuang Wu, they discovered that he had vanished.
“I saw him standing here just now,” Xun Rongchun pointed to a spot not far away, “How could he have disappeared in the blink of an eye?”
Xun Meiguang said, "I think I saw him too, but how could he suddenly disappear?"
The shadow of last night still lingered, and Xun Meiguang felt a chill run down her spine. "Could this be something evil too?"
"What are you thinking?" Xun Rongchun was the first to disbelieve. "When we saw him yesterday, the sun hadn't set yet. Haven't we heard that those things are afraid of sunlight?"
Besides, they gave us a letter of introduction yesterday. We can't possibly have run into something that wasn't genuine, can we?
Xun Xingshun said, "You two boys, stop talking nonsense here. He must have just left. Go find him quickly."
Is this the time to discuss these things? These kids never seem to get to the point.
The letter of introduction in Kuang Wu's hand was forged, so it was impossible for him to go to the countryside with them.
Besides, he has important matters to attend to, so why would he bother with these peasants?
Since we can't get the amulet from the village chief, and it's not good to alert him now, we'll wait until things are settled before trying to take it.
Finding a familiar mountain path, they quickly left Xunjia Village.
It wasn't that he didn't want to summon those spirits to ask questions, but his main focus was on formations, and some of his sect's other techniques had long been lost; otherwise, he would have already learned something from them.
He felt quite unlucky; he had finally been chosen by his master to be his personal disciple.
Having served his master for over ten years, he was about to graduate and make a name for himself when misfortune struck.
My master is destined for great things. He said that as long as we can get through these two years, we can hold that enormous wealth in our hands.
For some unknown reason, the master suddenly suffered a backlash and died, only managing to utter a few words, "Nine Dragons Return to One Formation," before passing away.
He came here simply to investigate and find out what went wrong.
Unexpectedly, everything was fine when I came to check with my master every few years, but this time, the formation was directly destroyed. No wonder my master suffered a backlash and couldn't even give his last words.
Thinking of the immense wealth his master had mentioned, he was still unwilling to give up.
It's also his master's fault for keeping things from him, not revealing any information about his partner.
He came here not only to investigate the person who did the bad thing, but also to make contact with them.
With this formation broken, the other side will likely be even more unwilling than they are, and will definitely come to investigate. At that time, given that he is the master's personal disciple, this connection can be re-established.
He deliberately set up unique tracking arrays in each village, just to wait for these two groups.
Just as he was taking a shortcut to the next village, Hua Xiangyun also rushed to Xunjia Village.
Seeing the villagers busy in the fields, Hua Xiangyun avoided them and took a detour to Xunjia.
When Gu Yu saw her granddaughter suddenly appear at the door, she rolled her eyes and ignored her.
The Hua family's children have all been spoiled by their grandparents and are not close to their maternal grandparents at all, especially this money-loser.
I don't know if Tian Guihua and her family have gone mad, letting her take so much dowry with her when she got married.
She said that even if she kept all the dowry the man gave, what difference would it make?
Xun Liangfen, as a mother, is utterly useless. She can't make any decisions about her children's marriages, and even the betrothal gifts and dowries are decided by those two old folks.
With so much money, if we could help our nephews and nieces, they might be able to find some good marriage partners.
With a good partner, why worry about the family's prosperity? How can they not understand such a simple truth?
"Grandma, I've come to see you. How have you been lately?" Regardless of anything else, Hua Xiangyun, as a junior, naturally had to greet her first.
"Anyway, you won't die. Why are you the only one here? Did you get divorced right after you got married?" Gu Yu looked behind her, but there was no one there.
Hua Xiangyun: "...I just happened to come to see my grandfather, isn't he home?"
"How could he be as free as you? He would have been in the fields by now."
But what could you possibly need? You don't mean you're looking for a favor from your grandfather, do you?
"Let me tell you, your mother is like water spilled from a bowl; we don't even want to deal with her anymore, let alone you, her granddaughter."
His tone was full of disdain, but his eyes were fixed on the bag that Hua Xiangyun was carrying.
"Did you bring this for us? Then give it to me." Gu Yu said, reaching out to take it.
Hua Xiangyun's original intention was also to bring some things to show her filial piety, so she obediently handed the things to her, "Some cured meat, eggs and the like, to nourish you and my grandfather."
The cured meat was stored away beforehand, and the eggs were just picked up on the way up the mountain.
There were a few pheasants left, but she put them in her storage ring so they wouldn't be too conspicuous.
"At least you have some sense," he said, opening the bag to check the quantity, which was acceptable.
Gu Yu's expression softened considerably. "If you need anything, go find him yourself. But let me make this clear beforehand: don't ask him for money or anything like that."
That brat, she came back all by herself and I don't know what kind of trouble she'll cause.
But that doesn't make sense. How did she get back from such a remote mountain road? Did she take a bus to the village and then get off?
Looking at the time, it seemed wrong. I wanted to ask, but then I realized the person had already run far away...
Hua Xingshun was delighted to see his granddaughter, but immediately asked sternly, "Why did you come so early? Who came with you?"
Could it be his granddaughter's husband? But where is he?
Seeing the old man's tired face, Hua Xiangyun went over and took his arm, saying, "I came back alone. Let's go over there and talk."
Xun Xingshun said, "How could he come back alone? It's too dangerous..."
