After the divorce, I became a god that my ex-wife couldn’t reach.

The next day, Pi Yangyang took Tie Niu and Kang Dezhu to Bai Village early in the morning.

We drove to the foot of Bailong Mountain and saw that a huge pond had indeed been dug.

The pond was designed according to Pi Yangyang's requirements, arranged in a Taiji (two polarities) pattern.

At the fish-eye area, two stone platforms were carved from marble, each topped with a flying dragon.

In the very center of the pond stood an octagonal pavilion. However, at this moment, the pavilion was covered with a huge red silk cloth, obscuring its interior.

At this time, the pond was not yet filled with water.

An incense table is set up in front of the pond.

The sacrificial offerings of three animals have been prepared, and we are just waiting for Pi Yangyang to preside over the ceremony.

Several hundred people, all men from Bai Village, stood by the pond.

Bai Zhenxing stood in front of the pond, eagerly waiting.

To facilitate future travel, Baicun mobilized the entire village to build a simple road that leads directly to the foot of Bailong Mountain.

The five brothers, including Bai Kaixin and Bai Kaixuan, stood in a row behind him, glancing at the other end of the makeshift road from time to time.

When they saw a car driving towards them, Bai Kaixin excitedly said, "It must be Mr. Pi."

Bai Zhenxing immediately straightened his clothes, and after making sure his appearance was in order, he quickly took two steps, bowed, and stood by the roadside to wait.

Seeing this, Pi Yangyang inside the car couldn't help but smirk.

It seems the Bai family is indeed a little scared.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so obedient, with so many people waiting here so early in the morning.

"Mr. Pi, you've worked hard!"

Once the car had come to a stop, Bai Kaixin and Bai Kaixuan stepped forward, opened the car door, and said respectfully.

Pi Yangyang got out of the car and nodded calmly.

"Mr. Pi, as you instructed, we are all ready. Now we are just waiting for Mr. Pi to preside over the ceremony..."

Bai Zhenxing stood to the side, bowing slightly, and spoke with great respect.

Pi Yangyang looked around and saw that the incense table was already prepared. Moreover, a dragon dance team and a drum band were also set up on both sides of the pond.

It seems that the Bai family really values ​​today's ceremony.

He slowly walked to the incense table and solemnly said to the Bai family father and son following behind him, "Disciples of the Bai family clan, prepare to participate in the sacrificial ceremony."

Bai Zhenxing quickly called out to all the clan disciples to come behind them and stand in neat rows.

Pi Yangyang picked up a calligraphy brush from the table, dipped it in cinnabar, and with a few quick strokes, drew a talisman on a piece of yellow paper. Then, he picked it up with his left hand and muttered some incantations.

The voice wasn't loud, but the Wu family members standing behind him all felt as if Buddhist chants were descending from the heavens, filling their ears.

After reciting a prayer, Pi Yangyang shouted loudly, "Kneel!"

All the members of the Bai family clan, starting with Bai Zhenxing, knelt down.

At this moment, the entire venue was solemn and quiet, and no one dared to cough; they could only force themselves to hold it in.

The Bai family has been experiencing a series of misfortunes lately, and they have all come to a consensus that it is because they blindly moved their graves, which angered their ancestors and led to these consequences.

Therefore, they all have a sense of awe in their hearts now.

What if my cough ruins the entire sacrificial ceremony? Wouldn't I become a sinner to the whole clan?

It took Pi Yangyang a full half hour to finish reading the eulogy and then shout, "Rise!"

After the Bai family members knelt and kowtowed three times and nine times, Pi Yangyang said, "Bai Kaixin, Bai Kaixuan, you five brothers go and remove the red silk from the octagonal pavilion."

Bai Kaixin and the others respectfully agreed and went together to remove the red silk covering the octagonal pavilion.

Pi Yangyang, holding a brush dipped in cinnabar, went to the stone pavilion and drew a few strokes on each of the four pillars.

Then, he turned around and went to the two fish-eye spots, and touched the eyes of the two dragons respectively.

"Please have some water!"

After he finished doing all this, he shouted loudly.

Bai Zhenxing immediately called to the two young men who had been guarding the sluice gate, and they opened the sluice gate at the same time.

Soon, clear water gushed from the mouths of the two flying dragons and poured into the pond.

Only then did Pi Yangyang breathe a sigh of relief. He approached Bai Zhenxing and said, "Once the pond is full, go find some koi and put them in. Remember, the water must be kept clear, and there must be living creatures in the pond."

Bai Zhenxing respectfully replied, "Yes, Mr. Pi."

"The ceremony is complete. Once the pool is full, you can move the grave," Pi Yangyang said calmly. "Remember, you can only start at Chen Shi (7-9 AM) and stop at You Shi (5-7 PM). You cannot move the earth at other times."

Bai Zhenxing bowed again in agreement, and then turned to Bai Kaixin and the others, saying, "Remember Mr. Pi's words, and do not make the slightest mistake."

The five sons of the Bai family also respectfully agreed.

Pi Yangyang glanced around and said, "Alright, that's settled here. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Bai Zhenxing quickly said, "Mr. Pi, please wait a moment."

Pi Yangyang turned to look at him and asked, "Is there anything else, Clan Chief Bai?"

Bai Zhenxing bowed and said, "Mr. Pi has troubled us greatly with the matter of the Bai family's ancestral graves. Mr. Pi has taken time out of his busy schedule to come here, and the Bai family cannot let Mr. Pi go back like this."

Pi Yangyang's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"

Bai Zhenxing waved his hand, and Bai Kaixin immediately handed over a bank card with both hands, saying respectfully, "Mr. Pi's kindness should not be measured in money. But this is just a small token of our Bai family's appreciation, and we hope Mr. Pi will accept it."

Pi Yangyang did not refuse, but reached out and took it, saying calmly, "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

Seeing that Pi Yangyang had accepted the bank card, the Bai family father and son both breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, although I have accepted the card, I still ask the Bai family to keep their promise regarding the subsequent demolition and relocation matters."

Pi Yangyang then added.

Bai Zhenxing quickly replied, "Mr. Pi, rest assured, we will definitely not cause any trouble for the Yan Group."

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "Okay, then I'll be going now."

After saying that, he turned around, beckoned Tie Niu and Kang Dezhu, got into the car, and drove away.

Once the car was out of sight, Bai Kaixin said with some regret, "Why didn't Mr. Pi even ask how much money was on the card?"

Bai Kaiyi said, "He probably thought there weren't many... so he didn't even notice them."

Bai Kaixuan quickly said, "Fifth Brother, don't make wild guesses! A man like Mr. Pi is not short of money at all. The fact that he accepted our cards shows that he is genuinely helping our Bai family. If he didn't accept them, then there would really be a problem."

Bai Zhenxing nodded and said, "Kaixuan is right. A person of his stature would not ask for payment, but would accept whatever amount comes his way. You must understand that everything has a cause and effect."

“Today, Mr. Pi is performing a sacrificial ceremony for our Bai family’s ancestors to appease their anger, which consumes his merit! If we do not give him compensation, then the merit he has consumed will become karmic retribution and fall on our Bai family descendants.”

Bai Kaiyi asked with some surprise, "Is it really that amazing?"

"Do you dare to question what our ancestors have passed down for thousands of years?"

Bai Zhenxing's eyes narrowed, and he spoke in a solemn tone.

Bai Kaiyi's expression changed, and he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly said, "I wouldn't dare."

"Remember, from now on, no one in our Bai family should offend Mr. Pi. If anyone dares to anger Mr. Pi, don't blame me for using family discipline."

Bai Zhenxing solemnly gave another instruction.

The five sons of the Bai family, along with other members of the Bai clan, all responded in unison.

Pi Yangyang accepted the bank card, but didn't really care how much money was on it.

As Bai Zhenxing said, if the Bai family does not provide compensation, the merit he has expended will eventually turn into karmic retribution and fall on the Bai family.

So even if the Bai family doesn't give it to him, he won't ask for it; he'll leave everything to fate.

Back home, Shen Yi had already arrived in the capital and was picked up by Su Xueqing.

At this moment, the mother and daughter were chatting in the living room.

Su Xueqing introduced the preparations for their wedding, saying that they would be holding a completely traditional Chinese wedding.

Shen Yi didn't object, thinking that a traditional Chinese wedding was also very good.

“Back when your dad and I got married, there weren’t so many formalities. Relatives and friends from both sides would get together for a meal, and that was the wedding.”

After listening to the introduction, Shen Yi said with deep emotion.

Aunt Xu chimed in, "Madam, times have changed. These days, what young person doesn't want a lively wedding?"

“That’s true!” Shen Yi smiled and took Su Xueqing’s hand, saying, “The wedding can be Chinese-style, but you don’t even have a ring on your hand. Yangyang should at least buy you a diamond ring, right?”

"What would you do with that thing?" Su Xueqing said dismissively.

Shen Yi said, "Isn't there a saying, 'A diamond is forever'? Diamonds symbolize everlasting love..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Xueqing chuckled softly, "Mom, you know about this too?"

Shen Yi rolled her eyes at her and said, "Do you think your mother is really a country bumpkin who doesn't know anything?"
