Chapter 128 First Love Becomes a Ghost
"Go ahead, luckily your family ran fast and nothing happened."
"Later, some people couldn't stand it anymore and moved out, and then got into trouble outside."
The village chief burst into tears and said, "I really don't know which god our village has offended. Why are every household so unlucky?"
Qi Chong looked at Shen Wan.
Shen Wan asked the village chief directly: "Have your ancestors ever done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth?"
"No! Definitely not! We are all honest people. Even if we got rich by selling the mines, we didn't show off. We lived a law-abiding life."
"At most... it was just a show of wealth ten or so years ago."
“Showing off your wealth isn’t harmful to the world, is it?”
Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, "You guys continue chatting, I'll go walk around the village."
"Chong, you chat with the village chief, I'll take Master Shen for a walk."
Xu Nanan quickly stood up and said.
Qi Chong nodded.
Xu Nanan followed Shen Wan in silence until she was about to walk towards the back of the village, then he called her.
"Master Shen, there's nothing to see in the back mountain. There are many wild animals there. Villagers are generally not allowed to stroll in the back mountain to avoid being hurt by wild animals."
Shen Wan paused and turned back to stare at him.
"Mr. Xu, are you hiding something from me?"
Xu Nan'an was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly, "No, there is nothing I can hide from you."
"First of all, as a big boss who returned from overseas, why would you choose to invest in the development of an old village that has already run out of luck?"
“This place is far from the city, and developing it is a complete loss-making business.”
"Besides, you seem to be staring at me all the time. To be exact, it's as if you are trying to find someone's shadow in me."
Chen Wan got straight to the point: "Tell me the truth, what is the real purpose of asking the metaphysical master to come to Shili Village?"
Xu Nan'an insisted: "I just can't bear to see Shili Village fall into such a state, I want to change the Feng Shui here and help the villagers..."
“You are a kind person, but that doesn’t mean you are a holy father.” Shen Wan exposed him.
"You have no obligation to help these people who have committed crimes."
Xu Nan'an was shocked and a little surprised: "How do you know they have committed a crime?"
Chen Wan said calmly: "You can judge whether a person is good or bad by looking at their face. Even if I can't tell anything from their face, I can see the aura around them. If they have killed someone, their aura will be bloody."
Xu Nanan's face became visibly excited when he heard this, "So you see that the aura they carry is bloody, right?"
Shen Wan: "Answer my question first."
Xu Nan'an was silent for a while before he said, "I admit that I came back not for the future of Shili Village, but for my first love..."
"Her name is Lili. She disappeared in Shili Village fifteen years ago..."
"No wonder you keep staring at me, I look a lot like your first love?"
Xu Nan'an smiled and shook his head: "No, not at all, but she has long, shiny black hair just like you."
"Tell me, how did she disappear?"
Xu Nan'an recounted what happened back then.
Fifteen years ago, he and his first love Lili were both only fifteen years old. The two young and ignorant people fell in love because of an accident, and they secretly got together without telling their families.
Xu Nanan's parents intended to take him to immigrate abroad to live with distant relatives and give him the best education.
He wanted to persuade the parents on both sides to arrange marriage between the two families so that he could take Lili to study abroad.
Unexpectedly, Lili disappeared on the night we had agreed to meet.
He went to find Lili's parents, and Lili's father only said that she had left the village to study in another province.
He didn't believe it and rushed into Lili's room. He saw that all her things were still there, but she was gone.
He searched the entire Shili Village but couldn't find her.
Later, he was forcibly taken away by his parents and left Shili Village.
It has been exactly fifteen years since I left.
Chen Wan listened to him talking about the past in silence, and waited until he finished before saying faintly: "You asked me before what else I saw, did you already know that Lili was dead? Do you want to find her soul through me?"
Xu Nanan nodded: "That's right."
"So you think the village has become like this because of Lili's ghost?"
Xu Nan'an shook his head: "I don't know... I haven't had a good sleep in the past fifteen years. As long as I close my eyes, I can dream of Lili crying, but every time I get closer, she gets farther and farther away from me."
He held his head in pain, "I really want to know where she is."
Shen Wan looked at him steadily: "You still didn't tell the truth."
"What do you mean?" A strange look flashed across Xu Nanan's eyes.
"If you didn't see her death with your own eyes, how can you be sure that she is really dead?"
"I...I just guessed!"
Chen Wan's eyes were like lightning: "Did you see with your own eyes that someone killed Lili, but you didn't dare to say it because of the guilt that made you feel uneasy for the past fifteen years?"
"No, it's not like that..." Xu Nan'an's eyes were panicked, "Master Shen, I beg you, please try to summon Lili's soul, I want to see her."
Shen Wan: "I've checked. Although the whole village is filled with yin energy, there isn't a single ghost."
"But the back mountain is..."
Xu Nanan looked at the dark mountain behind him, which was like the abyss of a giant beast. "You mean Lili is in the mountain behind him?"
"That's impossible. I checked right after I got back. There's really nothing in the back hills."
"It stands to reason that Shili Village is a place of great feng shui, but now the aura is so chaotic, there must be something affecting it."
Shen Wan said: "I'm not sure if this thing is Lili's ghost, but there must be something that is devouring Shili Village."
As soon as Xu Nanan heard that Lili might be in the back mountain, he ran towards it.
"Xu Nan'an! Stop!"
The village chief and Qi rushed over.
Seeing Xu Nan'an running to the back mountain without looking back, the village chief hurriedly chased after him.
Shen Wan followed behind, observing the environment of the back mountain as he walked.
"The yin energy here is indeed very strong, and the magnetic field is almost messed up." She held a compass in her hand.
The compass was spinning like crazy.
Qi Chong also held up the instrument and scanned around.
“Although the Yin Qi value is not as high as in the Shen Family Mansion, it is almost exceeding the critical point.”
"I didn't see any ghosts."
Qi Chong asked in confusion: "Master Shen, what did you talk about with Nan An? Why did he suddenly run to the back mountain?"
"Do you know a girl named Lili?"
Qi Chong nodded: "Yes, I know her. Lili is the daughter of the village chief."
Shen Wan paused: "The village chief's daughter?"
"Yes." Qi Chong said with regret, "It's a pity that she accidentally fell into the river when she was fifteen years old and was washed away. Even her body has not been found."
"Wait, are all the misfortunes in the village caused by Lili's ghost?"
"Will she become a water ghost?"
