Chapter 127 The Dead Village
Shen Wan didn't say anything.
Qi Chong pleaded, "Although this matter was brought up by my childhood friend, it is also related to me. My ancestral grave is still in Shili Village, and I am also worried that something bad will happen to the Feng Shui of my hometown and affect my fortune."
"Okay, when do we leave?"
Qi Chong said happily: "Let's do it now, the car is ready!"
Chen Wan was a little surprised: "Do we need to rush over overnight?"
Qi Chong nodded: "Xu Nanan told us to get there as quickly as we can."
"You're in such a hurry, I'm afraid it's not just a matter of Feng Shui." Chen Wan said, "Someone is possessed by evil spirits?"
Qi Chong shook his head: "I don't know the details, he just told me to find a powerful master of metaphysics to go to the village and take a look."
"OK."
Chen Wan agreed readily and told Bai Xiaoyan some precautions, especially forbidding him to cook anymore. Then she got into Qi Chong's car and left.
They arrived in City S at around three in the morning.
By the time we finally arrived at Shili Village, it was already past eight o'clock the next morning.
Chen Wan got out of the car, stretched his waist and couldn't help complaining: "If I had known you would drive for so long, I might as well have asked the five ghosts to move it. Your iron butt is almost smoking."
Qi Chong's car was a bit old, and the seats were so hard that it was simply torture.
"Five ghosts moving?"
Qi Chong was dumbfounded: "This is an ability that only high-level mages have, and you actually used the Five Ghosts as a means of transportation?"
"Master Shen, I have to say I was right to invite you here. You are amazing!"
Shen Wan looked around.
Shili Village is located among rolling hills, surrounded by green mountains that form a natural barrier.
Although Shili Village is far away in the mountains, a wide asphalt road was built here early on.
The houses in the village are all townhouses and single-family houses. Although the decoration style is a bit outdated, it cannot hide the former glory and luxury.
"Master Shen, can you see anything? Is there really something wrong with the Feng Shui?" Qi Chong asked.
Shen Wan said calmly: "Shili Village has an excellent geographical location, it is a Feng Shui treasure land, but..."
Qi Chong was surprised: "But what?"
Shen Wan pointed to the sky above the village and said, "There's something wrong with the air."
"gas?"
"Qi can be said to be luck, or it can be said to be the energy of the earth."
"The magnetic field of the entire village has changed. It's as if there's a layer of haze covering it. The airflow is blocked and the negative energy is heavy."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man's voice came from behind her.
"As expected of an expert from the Ninth Bureau, you can see the village's problems at a glance."
Qi Chong turned his head, smiled and high-fived the visitor, "Xu Nan'an, you finally decided to return to China. How many years have we not seen each other?"
The person who came was his childhood friend Xu Nan'an, a young man who had returned from overseas.
"It's been more than ten years, right?" Xu Nanan looked at Shen Wan and was shocked to see how young and beautiful she was.
"Such a young master of metaphysics?"
She looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Xu Nanan couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Shen Wan smiled calmly: "Hello, Mr. Xu."
From his appearance, you can tell that he is an elite. He is smart, well-educated, and easy-going and easy to get along with.
"This is Master Shen. She is not the mage of our Ninth Bureau, but she is really powerful!" Qi Chong introduced.
Xu Nan'an smiled politely: "Master Shen is young and promising. As long as you can solve the problems in our village, you can set any reward you want."
Qi Chong asked in confusion: "Your whole family has immigrated abroad, so why do you want to come back now and develop the village?"
Xu Nanan said calmly: "My parents passed away one after another in the past three years. Now I am the only one left. My roots are here. I have completed my studies abroad, so of course I want to return to serve my country."
Qi Chong was surprised: "You haven't gotten married yet in a foreign country?"
"Just like you, we're both single." Xu Nan'an said with a smile, "I've been so busy with company matters these years that I haven't had time to find a girlfriend."
"By the way, what happened to the village? Why is it so dilapidated?"
Xu Nan'an changed the subject and asked Shen Wan: "I wonder what else Master Shen saw?"
Shen Wan looked up at the sky, "Something is indeed wrong in Shili Village."
"You see, even the bright sunshine can't dispel the subtle and oppressive atmosphere in the village. The whole village is dead and gloomy."
Qi Chong shouted, "Yes! That's right!"
"I felt something was wrong as soon as I arrived. Master Shen was right. It felt dead and dull!"
"The scenery of the village was so beautiful when I was a child. How come it is so dilapidated now?"
Qi Chong raised the instrument and scanned it. "The Yin Qi value is quite high..."
Unexpectedly, the instrument in his hand was snatched away by Xu Nan'an the next second, "Let me see!"
“Can you see souls?”
Qi Chong pointed to the screen on the instrument and showed it to him, "If there are red dots, it means there are ghosts wandering around. There are none in this area, but I don't know if there will be any if we go in."
A flash of disappointment flashed across Xu Nanan's eyes, and he returned the instrument to him.
"Master Shen, thank you for your help. Please save Shili Village!"
Shen Wan glanced at him thoughtfully.
Qi Chong was touched: "I didn't expect that your love for your hometown is deeper than mine."
Xu Nan'an smiled and said, "Shall I take you around the village first?"
"Can."
Led by Xu Nan'an, the three entered the village.
The old, mottled western-style building was covered with moss and vines, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time.
If it weren't for the clothes hanging and food drying on the balcony, she would even suspect that this was an uninhabited dead village.
Chen Wan also noticed that every villager he met had a dark forehead.
Not only the village, but even the people gave her a dull and lifeless feeling.
The villagers were no longer surprised to see the three of them.
Because with the rise of the live broadcast industry, many anchors have visited Shili Village before.
Everyone outside said that Shili Village had declined, even they themselves felt so.
After the tour, Xu Nanan took the two to the village chief's house.
When the village chief saw that Xu Nan'an had really brought Qi Chong here, he rushed over and shook his hand.
"Xiao Chong, I heard from Nan'an that you work in some special investigation bureau. You're really awesome. You have to help our village!"
Qi Chong's eyes widened as he looked at the wrinkled and old village chief.
The village chief is of the same generation as his father, but now he looks as haggard as a man in his seventies or eighties.
"Uncle, calm down. I brought a master here to help our village with its feng shui. Our village was not like this before. When did it start to decline?"
The village chief spoke with tears and snot.
"About ten years ago, not long after your family moved away, something bad happened in our village."
"First, the two sons of the family at the head of the village drove into a ditch and died. After they died, the pets and poultry in our village also died inexplicably. The village has investments, and the investments have been losing money. Everyone lost so much that they even lost money for their coffins..."
