That night, Wu Tianming lay on the bed with one hand under his head and the other hand playing with the bead he had obtained from Lord Pingyang's tomb. There were tiny and strange patterns carved on the bead, but they could not be seen clearly with the naked eye. Wu Tianming narrowed his eyes and slowly traced the pattern inch by inch with his fingers.
A picture slowly appeared in his heart.
Hmm? Wu Tianming opened his eyes. The image that appeared in his mind was actually a dragon!
Wu Tianming carefully searched again. Indeed, it was a dragon carving. Wu Tianming looked at the pearl carefully, and his eyes suddenly turned red. Three magatama pieces were neatly hung on it.
" No energy fluctuations." Wu Tianming muttered to himself.
Under the observation of the Shura Eye, the bead did not show any energy fluctuations.
Then…The Aura Gazing Technique!
Wu Tianming closed his Shura Eye, and a blue light appeared in his black eyes.
"This, this is…" Wu Tianming used the Seer Observing Technique and was shocked to see something.
"I see. This pearl is truly a priceless treasure. No wonder the royal family of Zhao placed it in the royal tomb!”The corners of Wu Tianming's mouth curled up. In the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Even with his magnanimity, he couldn't maintain his calm after seeing this treasure.
"This trip is really fruitful.”Wu Tianming smiled and took out the bronze cauldron from his ring. The cauldron landed steadily on the ground with a clang, as if it was connected to the ground. It gave off a heavy feeling. Looking at the cauldron, he actually felt like worshipping it.
Wu Tianming looked at the ancient text on the cauldron. He seemed to be familiar with it as if he had been learning it since he was young.
"One of the nine cauldrons, the Jizhou Cauldron, was found in the royal tomb of the State of Zhao. After Qin Shihuang unified China, the other nine cauldrons disappeared. Then, could the other eight cauldrons have been sent to one of their royal tombs when the State of Qin invaded their country to suppress some luck for the descendants of the royal family?”Wu Tianming muttered to himself.
The more Wu Tianming thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. It seemed that he had to pay more attention to the ancient tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the future.
"Sigh, perhaps I will collect all nine cauldrons.”Wu Tianming kept the cauldron. She fell asleep with a smile on her face.
The next day, Wu Tianming went to his third uncle's house.
"Third Uncle, open the door." Wu Tianming didn't even look at the doorbell and directly knocked on the door.
"Coming, brat!" Third Uncle opened the door and let Wu Tianming in.
"Brat, don't I have a doorbell? You're always so rude." Third Uncle said.
"Aiya, I'm used to it.”Wu Tianming rubbed his ears and laughed.
"Besides, when I lived in the old house, there was no doorbell. I just knocked on the door.”Wu Tianming said.
"You brat, you only know how to find excuses. Can you compare the past to the present?”Third Uncle said unhappily.
"Alright, alright, Third Uncle, don't mind such a small matter anymore.”Wu Tianming smiled and waved his hand. He indicated that this was just a small matter and not worth mentioning.
"Little brat. Oh right, you just came back. Why are you looking for me again? Had the secret of the pearl been solved?”Third Uncle hurriedly asked.
"Uh, I came to ask you if you still have work to do. It's a secret.”Wu Tianming said with a smile.
"You really solved it?" Third Uncle said in surprise. Even he did not know what secrets were hidden in this pearl.
"I've solved it, but it's useless now.”Wu Tianming nodded.
"Mm, I knew you wouldn't tell me. I won't ask anymore.”Third Uncle nodded. Although he really wanted to know, there was nothing he could do if his nephew didn't want to tell him.
"By the way, what did you just say?" Third Uncle asked in confusion. When Third Uncle heard that the secret of the bead had been solved, he ignored Wu Tianming's previous sentence.
"I said, is there anything else to do?”Wu Tianming had no choice but to repeat himself.
"I say, aren't you tired? You just came out of such a dangerous fight, and now you want to fight again?”Third Uncle said.
"Well, young people recover quickly.”Wu Tianming said embarrassedly.
"Hmph, do you think Dou Du is just a cabbage on the street? Did he have it just because he said so? No, go back and rest." Third Uncle said unhappily.
"Um, really?" Wu Tianming refused to give up.
"I really didn't!" Third Uncle said helplessly. This little nephew of his would not fight even if he was told to. Why did he suddenly become so proactive? Even he was afraid.
"Oh." Wu Tianming left his third uncle's house in disappointment.
"This brat." Third Uncle looked at Wu Tianming's departing figure and shook his head with a smile." However, with such high interest, our Old Wu family's skills are not afraid of being lost.”
Third Uncle also understood Wu Tianming's feelings very well. When he first started fighting, he was also like this. However, every time he fought, he would be frightened and then excitedly fight again, and then be frightened again!
On the other hand, Wu Tianming had killed a dumpling in his first battle. The difference was too great. Third Uncle thought unfairly.
However, he was only in his teens back then, so it was forgivable for him to be a little timid. Third Uncle comforted himself in his heart.
Wu Tianming left his third uncle's house, but there was no good place to go. He could only go on a vacation to relax.
Wu Tianming didn't have any luggage either. He put them all in his backpack and drove south. He went on a self-driving trip from Hangzhou to Fujian. Along the way, he ate and drank, and he saw a lot of local customs.
Wu Tianming arrived in Quanzhou.
Quanzhou, the ancient name Wenling, also known as Licheng, because there are many thorny tung trees in the city, also known as the Citong City.
As the world's largest port during the Song and Yuan Dynasties and the starting point of the Silk Road on the sea, this place was rich in history and culture. There were many scenic spots and historical sites, and the economy was developed. In ancient times, high officials and businessmen fought to settle here. This tomb was definitely indispensable!
Therefore, Wu Tianming came here to see if he had any gains!
Wu Tianming was walking on the antique street in Quanzhou. Generally speaking, the items sold by Master Tu would end up here. If he followed this route, he might be able to find Master Tu's power in this area, but the chances were still relatively high.
If he found the forces of the Tufuzi in this area, he would join them and train himself. As for whether they would bring him along or not, Long Yuan and Han Tie were not to be trifled with!
Wu Tianming walked to a stall. There were two people standing in front of him, one fat and one thin.
In fact, he was very skinny. He had a normal and healthy figure, but when he was beside a fatty, he would feel especially skinny.
There were still many tourists in Quanzhou's antique street. Wu Tianming looked left and right, and it was obvious that he was here to visit. As a beggar in the antique street, his eyesight was very important. It was their instinct to observe people's expressions. When the stall owner noticed Wu Tianming stopping in front of his stall, he immediately understood that this was a potential customer. He might be able to rip him off!
"Which one do you like, little brother? I'm famous for being genuine in this antique street. You can tell at a glance that my goods are all antiques!”This stall owner did not care about his life when he boasted. He boasted as well as he could.
Wu Tianming's lips twitched. He looked down and saw that most of the items on the stall were all kinds of ornaments. They were gray and filled with ancient colors. If these antiques didn't look ancient, they wouldn't be worthy of the word ancient.
However, it would be a joke to say that this was an antique just based on its ancient name.
Tianming Wu didn't know much about antiques. He didn't inherit the gift of being extremely sensitive to cultural relics. Instead, his cousin Wu Xie inherited it, but now he went to Germany to study.
"But this is not difficult for me." Wu Tianming chuckled and secretly activated the Aura Observing Technique to observe the aura of these antiques!
Most of the antiques emitted a gray aura in Wu Tianming's eyes. Ordinary people could tell that these were not good goods at all!
"Hmm?" Although most of these antiques had a gray aura, there were still a few that were different.
For example, the two copper coins in the hands of the 'skinny man' beside him were emitting a faint yellow light that was the size of a basketball.
He was still looking for copper coins in front of the stall. He picked up one and placed it next to the other two. He arranged them neatly. The pale yellow aura actually became bigger!
Wu Tianming's eyes flashed. He didn't expect such an interesting thing to happen. This made him feel a little excited.
That person picked up another copper coin and placed it in his palm. However, this time, it did not increase his aura. Instead, it disappeared as the aura continued to cancel out.
"Eh?" Wu Tianming and the other person shouted at the same time.
The two of them looked at each other, nodded, smiled, and greeted each other.
"You can continue." Wu Tianming said. He would not let go of such an interesting matter.
A trace of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, but he still turned his head and studied the three copper wires in his hand. After a while, he seemed to have found something. He looked around the stall again and picked up a copper coin. He carefully placed it in his hand. This time, the light yellow aura expanded to the size of a parasol. It was quite spectacular, but unfortunately, ordinary people could not see it. When a person passed by this light yellow aura, it would cause a ripple. It was like a beautiful bubble that would burst with a light touch.
The man also noticed this problem. He looked for the copper coins in front of the stall and casually picked one up. Wu Tianming looked at it expectantly.
At this moment, the aura of these five copper coins was like boiling water, constantly rolling and blending. It took a long time before it calmed down. At this moment, a new and stable aura appeared. It was like the lush canopy of a towering ancient tree that had grown for hundreds of years, enveloping the three people in front of the stall!
Wu Tianming could clearly feel that the heat under the scorching sun seemed to be dissipating, and a light and gentle aura flowed around him. His heart seemed to have been comforted, and he was very calm and peaceful.
Wu Tianming looked at the five copper coins in his hand in surprise. These five small copper coins actually emitted such an aura. Moreover, this person was able to form such an aura. His ability was not bad. Wu Tianming looked at that person.
When the man saw that Wu Tianming was looking at him again, his expression became awkward. It was so embarrassing to be looked at like that. Wu Tianming also reacted and smiled at him apologetically. He turned to the front of the stall and chose the brightest item. Although it was the brightest, it looked very bad and was covered in dust.
It looked like a wooden gourd. Wu Tianming said to the boss," 50 yuan. I'll take it. No, you can keep it."”
The boss was bargaining with the fat man. He turned around and looked at the gourd in Wu Tianming's hand. His face was full of regret, as if he had suffered a huge loss."Aiya, seeing that you're also a guest, take this as a greeting gift. 50 it is."
Wu Tianming passed the money to him, took out a piece of paper, and wiped the dust off the gourd before throwing him into his pocket. He didn't feel anything strange. It was far different from before.
At this time, the fatty had finished bargaining. He picked up a horse carving and a few copper coins. He threw the few copper coins to the skinny man beside him and prepared to leave with him.
"Wait a minute." Wu Tianming called out to them.
The two of them turned around and looked at Wu Tianming.
"I wonder if I can get to know the two of you." Wu Tianming said.
The two of them hesitated for a moment, but they still nodded and said their names. Fatty said,"My name is Ceng Yuan." "My name is Xiao Yi," said the thin one.”
"My name is Wu Tianming." Wu Tianming said with a smile.
The three of them found a teahouse. There was a TV on one wall for everyone's entertainment. It was playing Pokemon, and they only heard the sound of " Pikachu, use 100,000 volts."”
The three of them did not care about this.
Wu Tianming sat down and smiled." It's fate that brought us together. I'll drink first to show my respect."”With that, he finished the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Zeng Yuan also smiled and said,"Since we are fated to be friends, come and drink."”After saying that, he also drank the wine in his glass.
"It's not good to leave me alone.”Xiao Yi said with a smile and downed the wine in his cup.
The three of them looked at each other and laughed. A cup of wine had shortened the distance between the three of them. Sometimes, in the world, some people were destined to be friends or enemies. The three of them clearly did not know each other, but there was no strangeness in their hearts. It was as if they had known each other for a long time.
"Oh right, what do you two brothers do?”Wu Tianming asked with a smile.
"We are architects. If you have any renovations, just look for us. Whether it's a western house or a Chinese pavilion, I'm proficient in all of them.”Zeng Yuan said with a smile.
"Tianming, what about you?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile.
"I'm just an unemployed vagrant. I'm walking around to broaden my horizons!”Wu Tianming smiled.
"Aiya, brother, you're so free and easy. Traveling around the country is everyone's idea. I'm rich now. I'll definitely travel all over the country, eat all the delicacies in the country, and look at all the antiques in the country.”Zeng Yuan laughed.
"Not bad." Xiao Yi nodded and said.
"By the way, what did you buy at the antique shop just now? Can I see it? This is my first time playing with antiques." Wu Tianming said.
"Ah, you're asking the right person. Speaking of antiques, it's my biggest hobby besides eating and drinking. I usually like to come here and admire all kinds of antiques.”Zeng Yuan said with a smile as he took out the wooden horse carving he had bought.
"Brother Tianming, let me tell you, this ornament should be an old wood carving from the Republic of China. Even if the material is ordinary, it's definitely more than a hundred years old. If I can get it for 1,000 yuan, I'll make a profit.”Ceng Yuan's face was full of smiles.
"Oh? Fatty, congratulations. I can only do it once.”Wu Tianming said with a smile. He raised his glass and toasted Fatty.
"What about you, chair?" Wu Tianming looked at Xiao Yi.
"Me? Mine are just a few copper coins, so it's fine if I don't look at them.”Xiao Yi smiled and waved his hand.
"A few copper coins aren't simple. Take them out and take a look.”Wu Tianming said.
"Alright, alright." Xiao Yi took out a few copper coins and casually placed them on the table.
"Tianming, chairs don't really know how to be antiques. Look at this copper coin, just like this Kangxi Tongbao ancient coin. It has Manchu characters on it and is very rare. According to the current market price, it can't be more than ten yuan.”Ceng Yuan curled his lips and laughed.
"Fatty, this is also my first time coming into contact with antiques, but I can feel that these copper coins are different.”Wu Tianming looked at Xiao Yi.
"What's there to explain? It's just a few copper coins.”Xiao Yi said, his face full of indifference.
"At that stall, I felt a refreshing aura. It should be the effect of these copper coins.”Wu Tianming said.
"A few copper coins emitting a cool aura?”Zeng Yuan asked doubtfully.
"These copper coins belong to the Five Emperor Coins and have the effect of blocking evil spirits.”Xiao Yi said.
"Blocking Evil Spirit? I say, chairs, why do you believe in this superstition?”Zeng Yuan said.
"Hehe, this kind of thing exists for those who believe and those who don't. There's nothing superstitious about it.”Xiao Yi said.
"But Brother Tianming, you can feel the presence of the aura. It seems that you're not an ordinary person.”Xiao Yi looked at Wu Tianming and said.
"I'm just a little sensitive. I don't know anything about auras.”Wu Tianming said.
"I see." Xiao Yi nodded, believing Wu Tianming's words.
"Can I have a look at these five copper coins?”A voice sounded from the side.
Looking over, he saw that the person who spoke was a fatty. There were many words to describe a fatty, such as wretched or black-bellied, but this fatty was described as refined. This fatty wasn't considered tall. He had a round face and a lot of flesh. He was definitely a fatty. However, this fatty must have found someone to look after his overall image. Under the circumstances where he couldn't lose weight, he worked hard on his worldly possessions.
"This humble one is Gu Yuan. I was excited by the sight of a prey.”
"Hello..." The three of them greeted each other.
"Mr. Gu, are you a geomancer?”Zeng Yuan speculated that Gu Yuan was carrying a traditional satchel with the image of a compass printed on it. That was why he guessed so.
"Fengshui master?" Wu Tianming also looked at Gu Yuan.
"I don't deserve it. I'm just a little interested in Feng Shui.”A smile appeared on Gu Yuan's face.
"It's fate that we met. If you don't mind, why don't we have a chat?”
Zeng Yuan looked at Xiao Yi and Wu Tianming and found that Xiao Yi did not object. Wu Tianming also had an interested expression on his face, so he said,"Alright,"
"Why don't the three of you come to my shop and have a cup of tea and chat slowly?”Gu Yuan's smile became even brighter.
"Please." Gu Yuan's face was full of enthusiasm. He slowly led the three of them to his shop.
Gu Yuan's shop was at the corner of the antique street. There were more people here, so the business should be more prosperous. Under his lead, the three of them came to his shop, Hundred Benefits Restaurant.
"What a powerful aura." Wu Tianming and Xiao Yi muttered at the same time.
In Wu Tianming's eyes, the shop was filled with a golden aura that slowly surrounded the shop.
"What are you doing? Go in." Zeng Yuan turned around and saw the two of them standing there in a daze. He shouted.
"Oh." Xiao Yi and Wu Tianming woke up at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled without saying anything. Then, they went into Gu Yuan's shop.
Gu Yuan turned on the lights and saw that in this spacious space, items were placed in transparent glass covers. They were very crystal clear and dazzling. There were all kinds of God of Wealth, Buddha, and Bodhisattva, as well as the traditional Chinese zodiac and auspicious animals.
"Are these also antiques?" Wu Tianming asked.
"No, this is a Feng Shui magic tool." Gu Yuan said.
"Feng Shui magic tool?" Ceng Yuan was also puzzled.
"Yes." Gu Yuan said.
"Come, sit down and have a cup of tea.”Gu Yuan was busy brewing a pot of fragrant tea.
"Try it." Gu Yuan placed three cups in front of the three of them and said with a smile. There was also a look of anticipation on his face, as if he was hoping to get a good review.
"Delicious!"
Zeng Yuan raised his cup and drank half a cup of tea in one gulp. He smacked his lips and tasted it before coming to a conclusion."It's very fragrant, and the temperature isn't too hot. It's very thirsty.”
Gu Yuan gave him a thumbs up.”
"You flatter me." Ceng Yuan smiled proudly, feeling a sense of appreciation for Gu Yuan.
Wu Tianming's mouth twitched. Fatty's conclusion was not bad. This tea was originally meant to quench one's thirst. What was the meaning of it? What was the use of saying all this?
"Little brother, can you show me the thing?”Gu Yuan said to Xiao Yi.
"No problem." Xiao Yi was very straightforward and handed the copper coin over.
"Thank you." Gu Yuan carefully took the copper coin and fiddled with it in his hand.
Wu Tianming was very interested as he watched Copper Coin's aura increase bit by bit.
"Is this thing very valuable?" Zeng Yuan asked doubtfully.
"This thing has no value in antique collections, but it's still valuable in feng shui magic tools.”Gu Yuan said.
"What's a Feng Shui magic tool?" Wu Tianming asked.
"This Feng Shui magic tool is used to survey Feng Shui treasures, or to use tools to observe the Feng Shui of a Yin House and the Feng Shui of a Yin House. It can also be used to set up Feng Shui arrays and other tools.”Gu Yuan said.
"Feng Shui Array?" Wu Tianming muttered. This battle had something to do with Feng Shui. In ancient times, when a rich family went to their tomb, they would have to find a Feng Shui master to find the place. This Feng Shui originated from the Eight Trigrams left behind by Fuxi, and the study of Feng Shui was very popular in ancient times. Which of the royal tombs of the Warring States period princes was not buried in a good feng shui cave?
At this moment, an old man walked into the shop." Mr. You."”Gu Yuan turned his head around and greeted him with a smile.
"Master Gu!" The old man was smiling. He was about seventy years old. His hair was silver-white, but there were very few wrinkles on his face. It was obvious that he had a good mistress. He was dressed in traditional silk clothes and a pair of soft-soled shoes. There was a beaded chain on his wrist, and he exuded a rich aura.
"Master Gu, did I disturb you?”The old man glanced at Wu Tianming and the other two with a smile.
"No, no, please sit down and have a cup of tea.”Gu Yuan greeted them enthusiastically.
"Eh, this is…" The old man did not stand on ceremony. He walked to the coffee table and sat down. His gaze fell on the copper coin.
"Master Gu, is this the magic tool you just got back?”The old man asked.
"Uh, not really. This thing belongs to this little brother, but I really want to buy it back.”Gu Yuan said.
"I see. Go ahead." The old man said with a hint of relief in his eyes. No wonder this thing was casually placed on the table.
"Little brother, are you selling this thing?" Gu Yuan asked Xiao Yi.
"Sell it, sell it at a reasonable price." Xiao Yi said.
Gu Yuan extended five fingers. He did not speak.
"5,000 yuan for a chair.”Zeng Yuan said to Xiao Yi.
"Hehe, Mr. Gu, I wonder how much that golden toad is worth?”Xiao Yi pointed at Jin Chan who was standing in front of the shop.
"Hahaha, Brother Xiao is also a person who knows what's good. How about 150,000?”Gu Yuan laughed out loud. He knew that Xiao Yi was an insider and the price wouldn't be too low. He might as well do him a favor.
"Alright, we'll do as Boss Gu says." Xiao Yi also knew that this was Gu Yuan's bottom line, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I wonder if Brother Xiao wants cash or bank card transfer?”Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"A bank card." Xiao Yi said. After giving Gu Yuan his bank account number, Gu Yuan immediately went to the computer to transfer the money.
"A chair. Is it so easy to earn money from this Feng Shui magic tool?" Wu Tianming looked at Xiao Yi.
"Only a powerful aura is valuable." Xiao Yi said.
"Mr. Gu, I've been feeling strange at home for the past few days. I think there's a problem with the feng shui, so I wanted to ask you to come to my house to take a look.”The old man said with a smile when he saw Gu Yuan finished his work.
Wu Tianming was about to leave when he heard about the Feng Shui problem and decided to stay. Zeng Yuan and Xiao Yi also stayed with him.
"Hahaha, no problem. Come, everyone, have some tea. I'll go prepare the things.”Gu Yuan didn't say anything when he saw Wu Tianming and the other two stay behind. He poured another cup of tea for the four of them and went to pick up the items.
"Old man." Wu Tianming looked at the old man.
"Just call me Old You." Elder You said with a smile.
"Elder You, I'm very interested in Feng Shui. I wonder if you can bring me there to experience it.”Wu Tianming said with a smile.
"Haha, no problem. It's rare for young people like you to believe in Feng Shui.”Elder You generously agreed.
"Thank you, Elder You." Wu Tianming said.
"Fatty, do you want to go to the chair?”Wu Tianming said to Xiao Yi and Fatty.
"Go ahead. It's good that you don't broaden your horizons.”Zeng Yuan said. Xiao Yi nodded.
"Then you can take my car.”Gu Yuan said to Wu Tianming and the other two as he had already picked up the items and put them into his bag.
"Yes." The three of them nodded. They sat in Gu Yuan's car and followed Elder You's car to his house.
As soon as he stopped the car, Wu Tianming got out of the car and looked at the house. He frowned. There was resentment!
Xiao Yi felt something the moment he got out of the car and frowned. On the contrary, Gu Yuan did not have any reaction after getting off the car. He walked into the house while chatting politely with Old You.
"Come, come, come. Have a cup of tea first." The servant in the room skillfully brewed a pot of tea and Old You said politely. Chinese people always paid attention to courtesy when doing things. When they invited someone to do something, they would first chat with them, drink a cup of tea or eat a meal before letting them do it.
"Good, good, good." Gu Yuan didn't let Elder You do anything. He picked up a teacup and drank it himself. Wu Tianming and the others drank a cup.
"Good tea. The Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain.”Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"Haha, Boss Gu really knows what's good for you.”Elder You praised.
Wu Tianming and the others looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders helplessly. They did not interrupt.
Gu Yuan and Elder You exchanged pleasantries. Wu Tianming looked around at the surroundings. The decorations were extremely high-end and elegant. At first glance, it did not look like a nouveau riche. Instead, it had the flavor of a decades-old mellow wine. It must have been arranged by an expert.
Xiao Yi and Ceng Yuan were also looking around. They were both architects, and it was a rare opportunity for them to see such exquisite decorations. They had to learn more from it.
Wu Tianming looked at Xiao Yi and shook his head with a smile. Although he didn't know how good Xiao Yi's Feng Shui skills were, at least he was better than Gu Yuan, his 'master'. Yet, he became an architectural designer. It was rare to say that he was using this to hide his identity as a Feng Shui master. This was also very possible, because geomancy masters were a kind of feudal superstition nowadays. No one would suspect them if they used the name of an architectural designer.
Wu Tianming used the Aura Gazing Technique and saw that the living room was completely golden. The floor, walls, and even the ceiling were emitting light, reflecting each other.
"Is this a Feng Shui array?" Wu Tianming thought to himself. The golden light combined to envelop the entire living room, but that was not all. There was a golden light that connected to the outside and the entire room. The entire room was enveloped by a Feng Shui array.
"Then let me take a look first." After Gu Yuan and Elder You were done being polite, they had to start working. Master Gu, please go ahead."
Gu Yuan picked up a compass from his satchel and started to walk around. He kept looking around and observing the changes of the compass. When he walked up to the second floor from the living room, his face started to change. The others followed behind Gu Yuan.
"Old You, can I come into your bedroom?" Gu Yuan asked.”
"Sure." Elder You nodded and opened the door for everyone to enter. The room was very simple and filled with an ancient style.
Gu Yuan walked in and observed the surroundings. Then, he looked at the compass, frowned, and left the room. Then, he walked around the house.
Suddenly, Gu Yuan stopped and said to Old You,""Elder You, is there a place where we can overlook the entire house?”
"Yes." Elder You nodded and pointed at the mountain beside him.
"There is a pavilion over there, and you can see the entire house.”
"Then let's go up and take a look." Gu Yuan said.
"Alright." Everyone nodded and went up the mountain together.
Gu Yuan looked down at the situation in the house from the pavilion, and his face began to turn pale.
"Master Gu, how is it?" Elder You saw Gu Yuan's expression turn pale and hurriedly asked.
"Something's not right." Gu Yuan muttered to himself.
"What's wrong? Wasn't this house quite nice? The decorations were also very suitable.”Zeng Yuan said.
"Fatty." Xiao Yi pulled him back and signaled him not to speak.
"Elder You, I don't see anything wrong with the feng shui of your house. But what's strange is that there's a constant stream of evil qi in your house, which is why you feel uncomfortable.”
"Fiendish Qi?" Elder You said in surprise.
Wu Tianming walked up to Gu Yuan when he heard his words. He looked at the house and saw a thick black gas rising from the house continuously, and it was increasing! He had seen such a situation once at Lin Wenyuan's house in Changsha. Could it be that Old You had provoked some kind of dumpling?
Xiao Yi also walked forward. He looked at the house and frowned, thinking about something.
"Master Gu, how do we resolve this baleful aura?”Elder You asked.
"It's not that this baleful aura can't be solved, but we have to start from the source. But now, the source of this baleful aura can't be found at all, so there's no way to solve it.”Gu Yuan said helplessly.
"What should we do?" Elder You asked worriedly.
"If the source isn't here, could it be somewhere else? Like my hometown?" Xiao Yi suddenly said.
"Or a cemetery?" Wu Tianming also said lightly.
"Graveyard? Old home? It's very possible." Gu Yuan said and nodded.
"Our ancestral house is very close to the cemetery. We can take a look together.”Elder You said.
"Then let's go." Gu Yuan said.
"Alright." Elder You nodded and immediately prepared the car to set off.
When they passed by a county, it was already night time. Elder You let everyone get off the car. "This ancestral house is in a village. Let's go there tomorrow."”
Everyone nodded and ate and rested in a hotel.
The next morning, everyone got into the car and set off again. They arrived at Elder You's old house.
"Elder You, let me take a look first." Gu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with Elder You this time. He took out the compass and said.
"Alright." Elder You nodded.
Gu Yuan frowned the moment he stepped into the ancestral house. Elder You, Xiao Yi, and Zeng Yuan followed Gu Yuan into the house. Xiao Yi also frowned when he stepped into the house.
"Why did it get cold the moment we came in?" Zeng Yuan asked loudly.”
Elder You also felt that something was wrong. He frowned and followed Gu Yuan without saying anything.
Gu Yuan kept walking, and Old You, Xiao Yi, and Ceng Yuan followed him. Wu Tianming didn't enter the house. He stood outside the house and directly used the Qi Observing Technique. He saw that the ancestral house was also filled with resentment, and it was even stronger than the previous house!
"With such a heavy resentment, it would be strange if I didn't feel cold.”Wu Tianming said indifferently.
Gu Yuan walked around and walked out.
"How is it?" asked Elder You.
"I didn't find anything." Gu Yuan shook his head and said.
"Let's go to the ancestral grave to take a look.”Gu Yuan said.
"Alright, this way." Elder You pointed at the road.
"Alright, let's go." Gu Yuan took the lead and walked over.
Wu Tianming had been staring at the topmost grave since he arrived at the ancestral grave. In his eyes, there was an unusually thick black gas rising from there. Under the blazing flames of the sun, it showed no signs of dissipating at all. Instead, it became even stronger.
"It seems like there's a problem with this cemetery.”Gu Yuan said. Xiao Yi nodded.
"Over there." Wu Tianming pointed at the topmost grave and said.
Everyone looked over and Old You said,"That's the oldest ancestor.”
Everyone glanced at Wu Tianming. Xiao Yi took the lead and walked over, followed by the others.
"That's right, this is it!" After walking in, Gu Yuan's compass began to spin continuously, causing him to scream.
"Yes, the baleful aura here is abnormally thick, and it comes from the same source as the baleful aura in the ancestral house. The source of the baleful aura must be here.”Xiao Yi nodded and said.
"Then how should we change this place?" Elder You asked happily. Since the source of the problem had been found, there would be a solution.
"The environment here isn't bad, so why is there such a thick baleful aura?”Xiao Yi frowned and thought.
"I'm afraid we have to move the grave." Gu Yuan suggested.
"There's not a problem with the environment here. There's a problem with the thing lying inside!”Wu Tianming said to Xiao Yi.
"What?!" Everyone was shocked, and then their bodies broke out in cold sweat again.
"I say, Tianming, you must be joking. You're telling ghost stories in broad daylight. "It's not scary," Zeng Yuan said with a smile on his face, but his smile was a little stiff.
"Little brother, is what you said true?”Elder You looked at Wu Tianming. He wasn't sure if he had met two extraordinary people the moment he went out.
"Are you saying that there's a problem in the coffin?”Xiao Yi said with a frown.
"Brother Wu, there shouldn't be such superstitious things like zombies, right?”Gu Yuan said with a forced smile.
"Trust me, open the coffin and take a look.”Wu Tianming said indifferently.
Seeing that Wu Tianming was not joking, everyone swallowed their saliva. They had never seen a zombie before!
"Men, dig out the coffin." Elder You thought for a moment and ordered decisively.
The people who followed Old You were smart enough to bring shovels and things like that to prevent them from digging. Hearing Old You's words, they all walked up and started digging.
Wu Tianming and the other three went down and watched them dig.
"This little brother," Old You asked.”
"Just call me Tianming." Wu Tianming said.
"Alright, Tianming, how can you be so sure that there's something wrong with this tomb?”Elder You asked.
"I'm from the Wu family in Changsha." Wu Tianming said.
Gu Yuan and Elder You's expressions changed. Xiao Yi and Ceng Yuan looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"What's wrong with the Wu family in Changsha?" Zeng Yuan asked.”
"The Wu family of Changsha is one of the nine clans of the tomb raiding aristocratic family. They monopolize the tomb raiding industry and have a very strong reputation in the Outer Eight Sects.”Gu Yuan said.
"So you're from the Wu family. No wonder you have such magical abilities.”Elder You said, but this was also a polite remark. Did the Wu family know what had happened in this tomb? He had never opened the tomb.
"Heh, Old You, you don't have to be so polite. I'm born with sensitive senses and can sense different auras. When I was at your house, I could already feel the resentment in the house! In the ancestral house, they were filled with resentment! When they arrived at the ancestral grave, the resentment in the graveyard was so thick that even the sun could not cover it. That's why I knew about the straight line in the cemetery at a glance.”Wu Tianming explained.
"I see." Everyone's eyes flashed with understanding.
"Is it fun to go to the tomb?" Zeng Yuan asked.
" Hehe, it's fun, especially with the bloody corpse," Wu Tianming said with a smile. Gu Yuan and Elder You had obviously heard of this name before. Their expressions changed slightly.
"A bloody corpse or something?" Zeng Yuan asked. Xiao Yi also looked at Wu Tianming.
"I'll kill you with one claw." Wu Tianming laughed. However, there was a hint of coldness in his laughter!
Zeng Yuan swallowed his saliva and did not continue kissing.
"Old You, we saw the coffin." Suddenly, the person above shouted.
Everyone walked over.
Everyone gathered around and saw that a corner of the coffin had already been revealed. Elder You took a look and said,"Dig it out."
"Yes." The surrounding servants responded and continued to dig the soil. The more they dug, the more Old You, Wu Tianming, Xiao Yi, and Gu Yuan felt that something was wrong. This was because the coffin had not been corroded at all except for the soil. It had been underground for hundreds of years. Even if the insects did not corrode, the coffin should have rotted away with the passage of time. However, the coffin was completely fine. It would be strange for a normal person to see it.
Elder You's expression became worse and worse, and his hands were sweating. Could there really be a problem?
Elder You had many servants, and they were all strong and healthy people. Very quickly, the soil on the coffin was dug away, revealing the entire coffin. Normally, Old You would praise them for their diligence, but now he wanted to dig as slowly as possible.
After the coffin appeared, the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped, and the surrounding brightness seemed to have dimmed. Even the sun in the sky seemed to not be able to bring any warmth to everyone.
In Wu Tianming's eyes, the black resentment spread out the moment the soil was removed, enveloping the entire cemetery. The surrounding leaves seemed to have lost all their firepower at once. They all hung down, and their luster dimmed. The birds in the forest seemed to be frightened and flew away. This scene was quite spectacular, but it was so annoying in everyone's eyes!
"Why, why did the birds fly away?”Ceng Yuan also felt that something was wrong. The moment the coffin appeared, the bird flew away.
"Animals sense danger more easily than humans.”Xiao Yi said with an ugly expression. Before he could finish, everyone knew that something had changed inside!
Wu Tianming's eyes narrowed. This resentment had enveloped the entire cemetery. If he didn't deal with it, it wouldn't take long for the corpses in the other cemeteries to turn into corpses! The entire graveyard became a ghost town.
"Could Tianming be the bloody corpse you mentioned?”Zeng Yuan said.
"Bloody corpses only appear in places with good feng shui." Wu Tianming shook his head and said,"Although this place is good, it's still lacking."”
"Then there shouldn't be anything to be afraid of." Zeng Yuan exhaled.”
Wu Tianming also shook his head and said,"It's amazing." Other than the bloody corpses, there are also zombies!"
Everyone's faces turned pale. Zeng Yuan's mouth trembled as he said,"There really are zombies?"
"I'm afraid the things inside are not the low-level ones. They're at least similar to the bloody corpses I've touched before." Wu Tianming nodded.”
"Ah?" Zeng Yuan's face was also filled with fear, and everyone's faces were filled with nervousness.
"Tianming, what should we do now?" Xiao Yi asked as he looked at Wu Tianming and realized that his expression was not good either.
Everyone also looked at him. Elder You's eyes were extremely nervous. At this point, he had no choice but to believe it.
"You guys should quickly get out of the cemetery. The entire cemetery is now wrapped in resentment. Unless there is a magic tool to block the evil, if you stay here for too long, you will at least fall ill.”Wu Tianming said. He glanced at the pearl chain that Elder You was wearing. It was emitting a faint light to block the resentment and protect Elder You.
"What about you?" Xiao Yi asked.
"If we don't deal with it, this place will become a ghost zone.”Wu Tianming looked at the coffin and said.
"Then are you confident?" Xiao Yi asked anxiously.
"A little." Wu Tianming nodded. With such a heavy aura of resentment, this zombie's strength was definitely not inferior to the bloody corpse in Lord Pingyang's tomb!
"Then, then be careful." Xiao Yi gritted his teeth. He walked out. Damn it, the time he had obtained the ability was too short. He could not help at all. He clenched his fists tightly, causing his veins to pop out.
"Brother, be careful. After you come out, Fatty will treat you to a good meal.”Ceng Yuan said loudly. He hid the sadness in his heart.
Although the three of them had not known each other for long, for some reason, perhaps it was predestined, the three of them had already established a strong friendship in their hearts!
Zeng Yuan turned around and walked out. Tears welled up in his eyes. Although he didn't know how powerful this zombie was, he wasn't stupid. From the changes in the surrounding environment and Wu Tianming's expression and words, he could tell.
"Brother Tianming, many thanks!" Elder You was also exceptionally touched.
"This is no longer your family's business. If this thing comes out, everyone in this village and the nearby counties will lose their lives.”Wu Tianming nodded.
"Please." Elder You also walked out, and the surrounding servants followed him out.
"Brother, we were just waiting for you to come back." Gu Yuan also had a look of admiration on his face. He gave Wu Tianming a thumbs-up and turned to leave.
Wu Tianming turned around and looked at the coffin. Thick black resentment was constantly coming out of it, and the surrounding environment was getting darker. It was as if there was a towering uncle blocking the sunlight, making people feel fear when they saw it.
"Master, a mission has been issued: [Reward: Body Strengthening, Protective Jade Pendant]”An ethereal voice sounded.
"Heh, just in time. We'll complete both missions at the same time.”Wu Tianming said with a smile. Although he said it casually, his eyes did not dare to relax even a little.
With that, he walked to the coffin and a cold iron dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. He took a deep breath and kicked the coffin lid away!
"Roar…" As soon as the coffin lid was opened, a huge ball of resentment that was as dense as a black hole instantly erupted with a loud roar.
When Wu Tianming saw this resentment, he hurriedly took a few steps back. If this resentment touched him, he would be crippled!
A black monster rose from the coffin. Yes, it rose. There was nothing. Its entire body rose just like that.
"Furry Zombie!" Wu Tianming's eyes narrowed as he cried out.
The monster in the black resentment was actually a person, but his entire body was covered in black hair. After it appeared, the surrounding black resentment began to turn dark, enveloping it like a protective layer!
Furry Zombies were not afraid of the sun and were agile. They jumped from houses to trees and flew as if they were flying. They had copper skin and iron bones, and the higher their cultivation, the sturdier their bodies were. However, it seemed that this hairy zombie had just leveled up not long ago and was not the top-notch kind.
The hairy zombie opened its eyes, revealing a pair of dark green pupils. The pair of green eyes appeared extremely dazzling in the dark resentment. However, when one looked over, one would see that the eyes were filled with coldness, resentment, hatred, and malice. It made one shiver without feeling cold.
Wu Tianming took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and opened them again. He had already activated his Shura Eye. Facing the hairy zombie, he did not dare to be careless at all. He picked up the cold iron dagger and slid it across his hand, allowing blood to stain the dagger.
However, this blood was also a sign of war!
"Roar…" When the hairy zombie saw Wu Tianming's blood, it immediately roared and charged at Wu Tianming.
Wu Tianming's Shura Eye contracted, and the three magatama began to spin wildly, constantly observing the hairy zombie's movements. The phoenix tattoo on his body also began to turn red, and the phoenix bloodline was instantly activated. He picked up the cold iron dagger in his hand and charged at the hairy zombie.
The people outside the cemetery saw a monster covered in black gas coming out of the coffin. They couldn't help but take a few steps back. Their eyes were filled with fear. They knew that this thing wasn't easy to deal with. Xiao Yi and Zeng Yuan looked at Wu Tianming with their fists clenched tightly. Their eyes were filled with worry.
Xiao Yi's desire for power grew. His friends were inside, but he had to hide here and do nothing. This was not his style.
Wu Tianming picked up the cold iron dagger and charged at the hairy zombie. His Shura Eye kept moving, observing the hairy zombie's next move. The hairy zombie was very fast, and it almost instantly arrived in front of Wu Tianming. Its claws quickly clawed at Wu Tianming.
Its claws were completely black, and the edges were shining with a cold light. It was obviously extremely sharp. If this claw clawed down, it would definitely open up 10 big holes and be poisoned!
The magatama in Wu Tianming's eyes spun like a circle. It was obvious that he was activating it with all his might. Although the hairy zombie moved very quickly, Wu Tianming was still able to see through its movements. His body was also able to keep up with it. With a twist of his body, Wu Tianming miraculously dodged the hairy zombie's attack. He picked up the cold iron and stabbed it fiercely at the hairy zombie's waist.
Hmm? When Wu Tianming used the cold iron to stab down, he clearly felt a resistance, as if there was something in the air blocking him. However, he still pierced through this protective membrane and pierced into his body. However, after the resistance just now, coupled with the copper skin and iron bones of the hairy zombie, the penetration was not deep at all.
This was also the first time Wu Tianming felt an obstacle when he used the cold iron dagger.
After stabbing the zombie, Wu Tianming pushed himself with one hand and instantly jumped to the side, pulling away from the hairy zombie.
"Roar…" The hairy zombie roared in anger. The wounds on its body were covered in a thick black gas, but it could not heal no matter what. The ten thousand years cold air on the cold iron dagger prevented the wounds from healing!
"Is that a protective layer?" After Wu Tianming retreated, he could clearly see a hole in the black gas where he had stabbed the wound. It was extremely obvious.
"It's really hard to fight." Wu Tianming said bitterly as he looked at the furry zombie that was covered in black gas.
"Roar!" The hairy zombie roared. Seeing that it could not heal its wounds, it stopped and charged at Wu Tianming again.
Wu Tianming gritted his teeth and focused on observing the zombie's movements.
Before a zombie turned into a demonic corpse, its movements were stiff, so its movements were nothing more than sweeping, stabbing, and biting.
The furry zombie charged at Wu Tianming even faster. Wu Tianming had observed its movements and had just turned to its side when the furry zombie's hands swept over. Wu Tianming's expression changed. He couldn't dodge it and could only raise his hands to block.
"Bang…" Like a car crashing into Wu Tianming, his entire body was sent flying by the sweep of the furry zombie.
"Phew…" Wu Tianming's feet landed steadily on the ground, but his hands were still a little numb. This hairy zombie's strength was too great, and it was not something he could withstand.
The furry zombie did not give Wu Tianming any time to catch his breath. As soon as Wu Tianming landed, it caught up to him and stabbed its claws into his chest.
Wu Tianming's expression changed. He jumped up and kicked the hairy zombie first. Then, he used the recoil to pull away from the hairy zombie.
The hairy zombie was kicked by Wu Tianming. It paused, but its body did not move at all. It charged straight at Wu Tianming.
Wu Tianming took a deep breath and waited for the hairy zombie to arrive. The three magatama kept spinning.
The hairy zombie arrived in front of Wu Tianming and clawed at him again. Wu Tianming's body became even faster, and he directly dodged the hairy zombie's attack. In the eyes of Xiao Yi and the others, Wu Tianming seemed to have suddenly appeared behind the hairy zombie.
The reason why he suddenly became faster this time was because Wu Tianming had used his internal energy. However, he was currently in an intense battle. Using the Shura Eye so hard required a constant consumption of internal energy. Coupled with the consumption this time, he did not have much internal energy left. Not to mention using this speed this time, he did not even have much time to activate the Shura Eye.
Wu Tianming arrived behind the hairy zombie and slashed the cold-iron dagger at its neck.
The hairy zombie roared in anger. It also sensed the aura of death, and the black qi around its body became even denser.
Wu Tianming's cold iron dagger met with great resistance when it slashed at the black gas protective film of the hairy zombie. However, it still broke through the protective film and the dagger slid fiercely towards the neck of the hairy zombie.
The hairy zombie also swept across the area.
"Ding..." The dagger made a sound like an iron horse clashing against the zombie's neck. The dagger was stabbed in, but it didn't come out from the other side. Its strength had been exhausted and it was stuck in the zombie's neck.
"Bang!" The furry hands swept across Wu Tianming's body, sending him flying with his dagger. "Pfft…" Wu Tianming couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He was so close, but it was a pity that all his efforts were in vain.
After the zombie was about to die, it let out a furious roar and pounced on Wu Tianming.
