Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

The person who came said that the livestock in the village had been in trouble recently and some people had contracted the plague, so he asked Uncle Jiu to help take a look.

Two days later, Uncle Jiu brought Lu Li, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to Qingtian Village and went into the mountains with the village chief. Looking at the scenery of green mountains and clear waters in front of them, Uncle Jiu said, "Village chief, our village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. On the left is a golden basin offering auspiciousness, on the right is a stream flowing down the hall, in front is a magnificent palace with cranes, and behind is the jade from Jingshan. It is a perfect image of prosperity, so it should be a prosperous village with both population and wealth."

"Master, it looks like the wind should be fine." Lu Li said quietly after observing for a while.

"Well, let's see what the village chief says?" Uncle Jiu said sideways.

"But recently the livestock and people in the village have been feeling uneasy and sick for no apparent reason. Is there something wrong with the feng shui?" wondered the village chief.

"Feng Shui refers to the flow of air. You must not block the air. Now the wind is blowing strongly and the airflow is unobstructed. The wind should be fine." Uncle Jiu explained.

"Is there any problem with the water?" asked the village chief.

"Let's go check out the water source."

"Okay, let's go."

The village chief and his group, along with Uncle Nine Lu Li, walked towards the water source.

At this time, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were carrying bicycles and bags up the mountain. They were seen by Lu Li, "What are you doing? Why are you walking so slowly?"

After putting down the things, Qiu Sheng said, "Brother, how can you be fast while carrying so many things?"

As soon as he finished speaking, A Wei shouted from behind: "Qiu Sheng and Wencai, why are you running so fast? It's not like you are escaping." There was a woman holding on to the side.

"Cousin, are you tired?"

"A little bit," the woman said.

"Are you thirsty?" Awei asked.

"A little bit."

"I'll get you some water." Awei said flatteringly.

"Be careful, cousin," the woman replied.

"Is this thing his?" Lu Li pointed at Awei.

At this time, Awei came over and took something from the basket and said

"These things are for everyone and the village chief, so they are carrying them for everyone, not for me."

As he said this, he handed the water and snacks to the woman, who acted as if it was a matter of course.

Lu Li couldn't bear it anymore and said to Qiu Sheng Wencai, "Throw the things here and come with me to help the master." He turned around and left.

Qiu Shengwencai put the things on the ground.

"I'm here to return your things and serve everyone."

At this time, Uncle Jiu and the village chief and his party came to a pond.

Uncle Jiu pointed at the pond and said to the village chief and others, "Village chief, it is said that wind controls the population, and people control wealth. If the wind does not enter the house, the population will not be prosperous, and if the water does not flow into the hall, the wealth will not be prosperous. The water level pattern of this village is first-class. This is called the Dragon Spit Pearl Cave. It was formed into a water ring after the impact and erosion of rocks, which trapped the water flow and formed a golden dragon chasing the pearl. As the saying goes, a round pearl and a smooth jade will make the family rich and the house prosperous. Just look at the dragon pearl and you will know."

The village chief looked around: "Where is the dragon ball?"

Uncle Jiu said, "It should be here, Ah Li, take out the dragon ball."

Lu Li jumped over the canal and lifted the stone slab, and sure enough, the dragon ball had cracked.

"Master, the dragon ball is cracked."

Uncle Jiu and the village chief hurried over and saw that it was really cracked.

Lu Li caught another fish and found that its gills were all black, so he quickly handed it to Uncle Jiu.

"From this point of view, there may be something wrong with the water. The village chief notified everyone not to drink the water anymore. Where is the team leader?" Uncle Jiu said.

"It's up there," Lu Li replied.

As they walked up, Lu Li asked Uncle Jiu: "Master, do we need to use the method of dividing gold to locate the acupuncture point to find another water vein?"

"Well, this water vein is now useless. There's something wrong with the source of the water. It's no longer clean. We can only get water from somewhere else." Uncle Jiu shook his head.

"How do we find the water veins?" Lu Li expressed his doubts.

“This depends on experience. As the saying goes, ‘where the mountain bends, water flows.’ If you dig a well in the low part of the mountain bay created by the bend of the mountain, there will be water.

"There are convex mountains opposite concave mountains, and good water is in the concave." The water source in the low part of the concave mountain is very good, and there is plenty of water when digging wells.

"When two bays face each other, the water never dries up." If two mountain bays face each other, and a well is dug in the middle of the bays, there will be plenty of water.

"When two mountains meet, there is a spring flowing down." There are many ways to find a spring at the junction between two mountains. "Uncle Jiu told Lu Li some common ways to find water sources.

After listening to this, Lu Li felt that Taoism is indeed full of knowledge.

When they came up, they saw Ah Wei lying on the ground, dripping wet, with his feet hooked on a branch covered with bats. Uncle Jiu felt that the bats had polluted the water source. The village chief was also surprised that there were never so many bats here, so Uncle Jiu asked everyone to look for bat nests separately.

A group of people followed the security team and began to search around the river. Lu Li and Uncle Jiu walked behind the group and saw a church on the mountain road. As soon as they walked over, they heard Awei shouting again. A fat nun held a gun on Awei, and the muzzle of the gun was swinging back and forth next to Awei's head.

Lu Li quickly stepped forward and kicked the gun out of the fat nun's hand. The gun went off accidentally, scaring the fat nun so much that she almost thought she had killed someone.

"Sister, we are looking for a bat nest. Can we check in the church?" Lu Li asked. He glanced at the roof of the church and saw many bats hanging upside down in the dark.

Seeing Lu Li's polite appearance, he didn't look like a bad person. The fat nun agreed: "Okay, but there are some people here that I don't welcome!" She looked at A Wei.

Lu Li signaled Awei to go out for a while, and then he and Uncle Jiu went into the church.

The fat nun led the way while introducing: "This place is this big. It's as big up there as it is down there. Bats won't hide here."

Uncle Jiu and Lu Li noticed that there was a locked door next to the lower floor. Lu Li knew that a priest committed suicide here in the plot. Seeing the two of them walking towards the side door, the fat nun hurriedly stopped them.

"You can't go in here. This is the priest's retreat room. I don't even have the key."

"This lock is weaker than a melon. It opens with just a touch." Uncle Jiu said, pointing at the rotten padlock.

"No, this is the most solemn holy place in the church. Doing this is disrespectful to God!" The fat nun still tried to stop him.

Uncle Jiu winked at Lu Li, who nodded. He then put his hands behind his back, lighted the yellow talisman, and kicked it through the crack in the door. Immediately, smoke began to come out from under the door.

Uncle Jiu quickly said, "Wait a minute, there's a fire."

"Where is the fire?" The fat nun didn't react yet.

Uncle Jiu pointed to the fat nun and saw smoke coming out from under the meditation room.

"Oh no, there's a fire, hurry up and put it out!" The fat nun was panicked and didn't know what to do.

Uncle Jiu handed the fat nun a stone, and the nun quickly smashed the door open, and fell down as soon as the lock was opened. Lu Li stepped on the talisman to extinguish it. The fat nun searched for a long time but couldn't find the fire.

"The fire might have been put out by the door." Uncle Jiu explained.

"Was this room originally the kitchen?" Uncle Jiu asked, looking at the room full of garlic cloves hanging.

"No, huh? They're all garlic. They're used for exorcism." The fat nun was also wondering why there were so many garlics hanging.

Lu Li pointed to the skeleton in front and said, "There is a priest here."

The fat nun was startled.

Uncle Jiu pointed at the photo on the wall and said, "The clothes on this corpse are the same as in the photo."

"Ah, Father Qi, he was the previous missionary. It turns out that you did not give up your priesthood. The church thought you had deserted your post. In fact, you have been fighting against the evil here. I will help you explain to the church. Rest in peace, Father Qi!" The fat nun said as she prayed.

Uncle Jiu discovered that there should be a priest in the photo on the wall.

The fat nun explained that more than ten years ago, two priests came here to run a church. The praying priest was attacked by the devil, and the other priest should have died as well.

Uncle Jiu thought: "It is indeed difficult to escape if you don't have enough magic power. Are you so sure they are ghosts?"

The fat nun confirmed, "I am sure they must have fought before they died. Look at the burnt Bible, the spilled holy water, and the garlic hanging everywhere. It seems that they lost the fight and their lives were taken away by the devil."

Uncle Jiu denied it: "It's impossible. If they lost, the village wouldn't have been peaceful for so many years. I think they must have won, but why did he commit suicide?"

"He committed suicide?"

"This is the weapon he used to commit suicide." After saying that, Uncle Jiu pointed at the burnt cross on the skeleton's abdomen.

Lu Li knew that the fat nun was about to pounce on Uncle Jiu and kiss him, so for Uncle Jiu's sake, he decided to leave.

Sure enough, Uncle Jiu ran out of the meditation room with a blushing face after a while. Lu Li tried his best to hold back his laughter and tried not to look at Uncle Jiu. Outside, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were still fighting with some young nuns. Lu Li stopped Uncle Jiu who wanted to leave and asked him to look up. When Uncle Jiu looked up, he saw the bats hanging upside down on the top of the church.

Lu Li whispered, "Master, don't disturb them. They are already spiritual. There were more of them in the quiet room just now."

Uncle Jiu nodded and gathered everyone outside the church to explain the situation. The fat nun didn't believe it at first, but Lu Li took her around the church and the fat nun finally believed it. The village chief also agreed to help them build another church.

Awei and the security team also brought kerosene. Uncle Jiu, Lu Li, Qiu Sheng and others surrounded the church to prevent bats from flying out. As the security team threw torches, the church suddenly caught fire. The screams of bats were heard inside, and the little nuns were so scared that they hugged the fat nun.
