Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 92 Mr. Feng Shui
They're going to kill the judges of Fengdu anyway, why keep them alive for the New Year?
Li Xuan looked at the men rolling on the ground, then his gaze fell on the barely alive man. After a moment's thought, he asked, "What happened? Why did they try to kill you?"

The waiter was somewhat delirious. When he opened his blood-covered eyelids and barely made out Li Xuan's face, he recognized him as the outsider that Master Ren had been "afraid" of during the day.

He turned his head with difficulty and saw the men who had been so arrogant and fierce just moments before lying on the ground groaning in pain. A surge of hope welled up in his heart!

"Young master, you were eating at the Western restaurant today when Master Ren's daughter showed interest in you, but she didn't make a move because she was concerned about saving face! After you left, these men came looking for trouble. I couldn't explain myself, so they beat me up."

“I had a childhood friend who was also a worker. He was cheated out of his wages and beaten by Master Ren. He wanted to go to the provincial capital to report to the authorities, but Master Ren sent someone to kill him on the way.”

"When I heard the news, I secretly went to collect the body. My poor childhood friend had been eaten by wild animals, and only a few bones were left."

“Often, when his sixty-year-old mother asks me where her son is, I have to lie and tell her that her childhood friend went to the provincial capital with a rich man to make money.”

"After being beaten today, I was afraid I could see myself dying on the street, so I stole money from the counter, intending to give half to my childhood friend's elderly mother. I'll give you the other half, hoping you can deal with Master Ren... at least stop him from bullying the people in Renjia Town..."

"You look like someone of high status and wealth, and now you're so skilled, you must have quite a background. I beg you..."

The guy had a broken leg, and the grass beneath him was covered in blood.

With difficulty, he pulled a loose silver bar from under his abdomen, held it high, and said in a tearful voice, "I know this money means nothing to you, but it represents my sincerity!"

Li Xuan didn't answer, but simply said, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."

The shopkeeper looked somewhat dejected and said, "My...my home is in the thatched hut in the wilderness outside Renjia Town."

Li Xuan walked over, took out the purplish-red gourd, infused it with his magic power, and pressed his hands against the talismans on both sides of the gourd's surface, slowly pouring the liquid into the wounds on the shopkeeper's body...

This move was also used by "White Crane Immortal Venerable" before, and it was very effective.

However, Li Xuan was unsure whether the gourd had this function. His companion was so badly injured that he couldn't be moved at all, and the jostling would only hasten his death.

Now we can only try...

A translucent stream of air emanated from the gourd's mouth and sank downwards...

The wound that was still bleeding was slowly clotting, and his pale complexion had improved considerably.

Li Xuan noticed that the spiritual energy accumulated inside the gourd had decreased significantly. It seemed that the gourd needed to consume spiritual energy to heal others...

The treatment was quite taxing on spiritual energy. After it was all used up, the guy's wound was still in the state of just having scabbed over, but at least it wouldn't get worse.

Li Xuan said, "We should take you to see a doctor first."

The man also noticed the change in his wound and said, "I want to go home. My dad's a doctor too..."

Just then, a number of green eyes suddenly appeared in the woods. Li Xuan frowned. Although the woods were connected to the outside of the town, it was too arrogant for a pack of wolves to appear so boldly near a human-inhabited town.

The waiter saw the wolves' eyes and hurriedly said, "Young master, you should leave quickly, don't worry about me."

The wolf pack had appeared; there were seven or eight hungry wolves who had come following the scent of blood, and their eyes lit up when they saw the bloodstains on the ground…

Li Xuan hoisted the shop assistant onto his back, drew his mace with his right hand, asked for directions to the shop assistant's home, and then walked straight outside.

A wolf circled around from behind, leaped up and bit, bang! The black mace landed on the wolf's head with a crack, and the wolf fell to the ground, immediately falling into an eternal sleep.

The other wolves were startled and quickly moved away. However, after Li Xuan launched his attack, he slowly walked away, paying no attention to the four men still lying on the ground. The wolves probed back and forth a few times, and seeing that Li Xuan did not return, they immediately rushed up and bit off the men's necks. They worked in a pattern of two or three wolves dragging each corpse away, gradually pulling all the bodies away.

Southeast of Renjia Town, there is a field where, sure enough, there is a thatched hut.

The door was ajar, and a warm orange light flickered in the air.

Li Xuan called out, "Is anyone home?"

The door opened, and a man in his sixties, wearing a faded long gown, walked out. His hair was gray, his face was wrinkled, and he walked with unsteady steps, as if he would run out of energy after taking just a few more steps…

When he saw his colleague covered in blood, his pupils dilated, and he walked over tremblingly, asking, "Ah An, what happened to you!"

Li Xuan recounted what had happened to his colleague.

The old man's expression kept changing, and after a long while, he uttered a sentence: "I'm still not ruthless enough..."

Li Xuan remembered this inexplicable remark and sent the waiter to the inner room.

He discovered that although the thatched hut looked simple, it was fully equipped. The furniture, cabinets, and floor tiles were all arranged in the form of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams. The cool air circulated in the house, making people feel refreshed.

On a cabinet in the corner of the house sat an old package, not fully sealed, revealing a peach wood sword, a compass, a map of mountains and rivers, and several obscure books inside. Only one of the books had the title "The Classic of Acupoints in Mountains and Rivers" on its cover.

After examining the man's wound, the old man's gaze was unusual, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he took out some herbs and started brewing them.

Li Xuan sat beside him for a while and said, "The four-foot square 'dragonfly skimming the water' burial plot where Old Master Ren was buried is your family's, isn't it..."

The old man, preoccupied with examining his companion's wounds, said, "Ah An's wounds are from a time very different from what you described, but Ah An doesn't lie. The only explanation is that you healed them with your secret technique."

Li Xuan said, "I meant no harm. Can you tell me why?"

The old man said, "Twenty years ago, Ren Fa's father, Ren Weiyong, suddenly died. He somehow found out that I had a feng shui treasure land on the mountain, where burying one's ancestors would bring promotion and wealth! He came up to me and threatened me, demanding that I move my deceased father's remains and bury his father instead..."

His eyes were red-rimmed, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "I didn't learn feng shui to deal with ordinary people. I thought that would be the end of it after I warned them! Who knew that they would kidnap my five-year-old child in the middle of the night and use the child's life to blackmail me into giving up this precious land, or I would never see my child again!"

"I had no choice but to do as they said."

"Who would have thought that Ren would become so heartless and insane, forcing me to give up the precious burial site and demanding that I arrange the feng shui layout for his father's burial, so that the Ren family would become extremely wealthy and powerful..."

Li Xuan said, "Isn't he afraid you'll tamper with it?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Of course I was afraid, so they forced my wife to work at their house. After my wife passed away, they made my son take over the job... I tried to sneak away with my child several times, but I was always discovered and beaten. My body was severely damaged, and now I walk with a trembling gait."

The man lying on the bed stared in shock at his white-haired father and said, "Why...why did you never tell me about this? I can help you escape!"

In this era, leaving one's hometown is not an easy thing, and going to other places where one cannot speak the language can easily lead to being ostracized.

He said, "Back then, I set up a fake feng shui formation to ruin the Ren family's fortune, preventing them from having sons and causing their lineage to die out. Then I told them that only after twenty years, when their remains were reburied in a sacred burial site, could the Ren family's fortune be restored. When the time came... as long as they dug up the grave, the corpse would quickly grow fat and turn into a zombie, devouring their own blood relatives..."

However, any normal Taoist priest or monk could see that there was something wrong with the corpse and would advise him to burn it.

If Ren Fa listens to advice, he won't die; if he doesn't, well, he'll face a calamity twenty years from now!
