The Jiao family's residence is not in Xuancheng city, but in a town on the outskirts.
This is an exquisite, ancient and quiet town, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a bluestone road running through the entire town.
In an alley in the middle of the town, there is a house. The two clumsy and interesting stone lions at the entrance of the house declare the majesty of this old house.
Jiao Shiniang's father, Jiao Yebai, lives here.
When Li Muchen saw Jiao Yebai, he was already haggard and looked no different from dead.
Jiao Shiniang told him that his father had been lying on this bed for two years.
Two years ago, people thought her father was dead. The Jiao family had even prepared funeral arrangements.
But my father always held on to that breath and never left.
They went to the best hospitals in the country and the best doctors in the country, but they couldn't find the cause.
It's just that his tone is getting weaker and weaker.
Jiao Shiniang always felt that her father had something to say, so she held back her breath and refused to swallow it.
Li Muchen could tell at a glance that Jiao Yebai's soul was gone.
Logically speaking, if the soul is gone, the person will definitely die.
But Jiao Yebai is still alive and breathing.
This means that his soul is still in this world, but cannot return to his body.
Li Muchen immediately thought of the last time Mr. Lin was invited by the Zhao family to use Wu Xian's nail-headed arrow book. The symptoms looked very similar.
But no one will spend two years to cast such a spell. Because casting a spell also costs money, in addition to its own mana, it may also dissipate the soul. Therefore, the faster the better is generally pursued, such as the nail-head arrow book in ancient witchcraft
It takes 7,749 days inside, but the improved version used by Wu Xian only takes seven days.
But if someone hadn't cast the spell, where would Jiao Yebai's soul have gone?
"Where did the old man go last before he got sick?" Li Muchen asked.
"The last place..." Jiao Shiniang thought for a while and said, "It should be a stroll in the town. He usually lives in the city, but that time happened to be the Qingming Festival, and we came back to visit the tomb. Every time he comes back, he has to stay for a while.
For a few days, walk around and chat with the old people in the town."
"Wait a minute, you just said you visited the tombs during the Qingming Festival, which means that he went to your ancestral graves before the accident?" Li Muchen asked.
"Yes." Jiao Shiniang was surprised, "Is it because he visited the grave? But we all went there that day. And when he got sick, it had already been a few days since the Qingming Festival."
Li Muchen said: "Okay, take me to your ancestral graves. Your father's soul is gone. Whether it can be found again depends on luck."
Jiao Shiniang was shocked when she heard this. She hurriedly arranged a car and took Li Muchen to the mountain where the Jiao family's ancestral graves were located.
When he arrived at the mountain and took a look, Li Muchen sighed, it was really good Feng Shui. No wonder the Jiao family wanted to choose the ancestral tomb here. It was so far away and they were unwilling to move it.
The Jiao family's tombs are located on the mountainside, occupying a large area.
Dozens of tombstones are arranged in a certain direction. It can be seen that they have been instructed by Feng Shui masters and used the tombstones to condense the surrounding earth energy again.
Therefore, it is equivalent to setting up a small magic circle here, which becomes the Feng Shui eye of the entire mountain.
Such a ghost house is certainly good. In today's common sense, it is a blessing to future generations.
But the problem lies precisely in this formation formed by tombstones.
Feng shui is based on nature, and the earth's energy is naturally distributed. When it flows, it forms a natural place for storing wind and gathering energy in a certain place according to the topography. This is good feng shui.
But once the formation is used to condense the earth energy, it is equivalent to man-made destruction of nature. The feng shui here is good, but the surrounding earth energy is destroyed.
This is not in line with nature, so a true expert would disdain it.
And the location of the Jiao family cemetery is right at the turning point of the mountain range, which almost destroys the geological trend of the entire mountain range.
As time goes by, the Jiao family's fortune will probably flourish and decline.
Li Muchen saw this and remembered that in Jiancheng, Huang Dingbang forced Jiao Shiniang to move her grave. It was a blessing in disguise, and God's will helped the Jiao family survive the disaster.
It's a pity that I met myself.
"Master Li, is there any problem with our ancestral graves?" Jiao Shiniang asked.
"There is a problem." Li Muchen said.
"Ah?" Jiao Shiniang was shocked, "What should we do? Is my father's illness related to the ancestral grave? Do we need to move the grave immediately?"
Li Muchen shook his head and said, "It's not that simple."
Jiao Shiniang said anxiously: "Then can my father be saved?"
Li Muchen said: "It's been too long, so I can't guarantee it. But one thing I can be sure of is that something happened to your father here, and his soul was lost."
"The soul fell?" Jiao Shiniang was very puzzled, "How could the soul fall?"
Li Muchen observed the entire cemetery, trying to find any clues.
Of course, it is impossible for the human soul to leave the body for no reason. Under normal circumstances, the separated soul cannot withstand the power of this space and will dissipate quickly. Only in extremely special circumstances will it remain condensed and not disperse.
For example, in the nail-headed arrow book, the caster uses magic to capture the soul of a person and stores it in the scarecrow. But it does not last long, and requires the caster to set up an altar and protect it with magic power.
Or like Hu Yuntian's body buried at the bottom of a well, and the wellhead sealed with a talisman. But what was sealed was not his real soul, but the evil spirit that slowly condensed from the resentful spirit.
Jiao Yebai has been ill for two years, and the situation must be more complicated.
Li Muchen thought of a possibility.
"Huang Dingbang said he wants to buy your family's ancestral tomb for mining. Do you know where he plans to dig?"
Jiao Shiniang shook her head and said: "I don't know. He said he wanted to mine the entire vein, but he didn't say where to start."
Li Muchen asked again: "Do you know if there are any deep pools, deep streams, or bottomless pits in folklore nearby?"
Jiao Shiniang still shook her head: "Except for visiting graves, I rarely come here. For this, I can only ask the nearby villagers. Mr. Li, what are you doing?"
Li Muchen said: "Do you still remember what Huang Dingbang and Qingxuan said before they died? Qingxuan said that there is a Yin dragon underground. The reason why they want to buy your ancestral tomb is not to mine, but to find the Yin dragon. If
What they said is true. There is a Yin Dragon underground, so your father's soul was probably sucked away by that thing. Your ancestral tomb broke the energy of the earth veins here, forming a unique Feng Shui situation. It's so good
