Chapter 2, Descendants' Evil

You suppress with a red rope! Ridiculous, that red rope is said to have the power to ward off evil, yet it can also turn the world upside down. What is the difference between a red rope and a soul-calling banner? Is the feng shui flag meant for the spirits? Even more laughable is that you moved the willow tree, bringing upon yourself the calamity of descendants, yet remain unaware of it.

"Ni Ge, what is the purpose of the circle you drew? Why did Old Master Feng shake his head as soon as he entered?" Cousin slipped over to my side and asked curiously

With a crack, the brick on the fire pit was pointed at by me from a distance. In an instant, it was covered with cracks, yet showed no sign of breaking apart.

Oh, I see. That big willow tree was moved by me. In the backyard of the old house, I originally planned to chop it up for firewood, but what use is it now?

Haha! My cousin's words made me chuckle. "Cousin, it's almost noon, let's hurry back so we don't miss the auspicious time for laying the foundation."

Hmph! I am once again infuriated by that stubborn old man: "This is not a place for killing a master, yet you have turned it into a gathering of Yin. With Yin and Yang not in harmony, the universe is naturally inverted. In other words, noon is precisely the time when the Yin energy here is at its heaviest. According to the Five Palaces' directions, that circle belongs to the Qian position. It is already half past morning, yet one can still see the essence of the willow tree. This is the proof." According to the Five Palaces' directions, that circle belongs to the Qian position. It is already half past morning, yet one can still see the essence of the willow tree. This is the proof.

Alas! I sighed. It seems that the resentment of this willow tree runs too deep.

Uncle Er ran over joyfully and said, "Nige, you take charge now. Everyone will listen to you."

"Ni Ge, this willow tree seems to be on the verge of dying. What do you think it is doing?" Cousin asked curiously

Alright! Cousin turned around and returned shortly with a brazier and bricks

However, my second uncle was grinning from ear to ear. The relatives and friends at home looked at me with eyes full of admiration. Even my second uncle felt that he had gained some prestige.

Old Master Feng furrowed his brows and after a long while, he said somewhat unwillingly: "Alright, even if that willow tree has a spirit essence left here. I will use red ropes to suppress it, and after laying the foundation, I will clean out the roots there. This place can still be inhabited, right! This still does not prove that this is a gathering place of yin energy"

Uncle Er cast a approving glance at me, then turned to look at my cousin. With a sigh, he said, "Look at how capable your cousin is; if only you had half of his abilities!"

Seeing my anxious demeanor, my cousin also realized that something was amiss and immediately got in the car with me, heading straight to the old residence of my second uncle.

However, I do not regret it. The Chinese emphasize leaving a way out for others, and one should not be overly ruthless in any situation. However, in the field of feng shui, lacking skill can only bring harm to others. Today, if I do not point it out, it would mean harming my second uncle's family. In the future, the number of people harmed may be even greater

"Ni Ge, it doesn't matter anymore, let's go to the VIP building and wait there," my cousin said quietly as he leaned closer.

The second uncle also curiously entered. Indeed, in the place where the willow tree had originally been moved from, a large willow tree was swaying its branches in the wind. Outside the circle, however, there was nothing at all

After the second uncle sighed, he clapped his hands and went to direct the bricklayer, leaving the cousin with a face full of bitterness, lamenting in the corner.

Cousin, don't speak carelessly! Hurry and bring a brazier. Light a fire and place a piece of blue brick on top of it. I quickly stopped my cousin. Just with this one sentence, the willow tree looked even more withered.

Old Master Feng's expression turned unpleasant once again: "Little child, do not think that just because you have learned a bit of superficial skill at Qingyun Temple, you can speak nonsense here. This is not a place for killing teachers, and even if it were, I have never heard that it would affect the descendants of geomancers!"

This willow tree has been uprooted for a week. If it is allowed to wither away completely, then this homestead will truly have no room for recovery. If the descendants are afflicted by malevolent energy, even the finest residence will be eroded by this negative influence

Hahaha! Ni Ge, it is indeed true that a great teacher produces outstanding students; those who come from Qingyun Temple are truly exceptional!" My second uncle laughed heartily as he patted me on the shoulder

Cousin, one can indeed see things in this circle; Old Master Feng should have understood this by now I said with a smile

After hearing my response, my second uncle sighed with great relief, saying, "It is a pity that my unfortunate sister and brother-in-law cannot witness our singing talents."

Haha! I suddenly burst into laughter

I glanced at the stunned Old Master Feng before continuing: "The age of calamity, residing in the four seasons, becomes the yin energy of the four seasons. Roaming the heavens and the earth, one must not intrude upon the places of reason; if one is careless in cultivation and migration, it may lead to offense, resulting in harm to the descendants and livestock in the family. Old Master Feng must have seen all of this, right?"

The second uncle serves as the secretary to the county mayor. A small hall is set up on the sixth floor

"Second Uncle, no matter how different it may be, I am still your nephew, aren't I?"

"Second Uncle, is the big poplar tree that was removed still there?" I am concerned about Second Uncle's matters. This plot of land will eventually need to be built upon.

As for these relatives, I have not been home for many years and have little to talk about. Just as I was about to go out after eating and drinking with my cousin, my second uncle called.

As soon as the words were spoken, a soft sound of a pop was heard. The brick on the fire pit finally broke.

Second Uncle actually does not have much to say. You let the mason shift the position of the house slightly to the southeast. The original main entrance can be treated as a side courtyard. Soon, that large willow tree will be delivered. Second Uncle, I trouble you to find the best carpenter to take care of it, as long as we can ensure that this large tree survives. In the future, this tree will be able to protect the family in the backyard. Of course, Second Uncle will also need to take care of it regularly.

A brazier is not a rare item in the countryside. Even in urban areas, it is commonly found in places like funeral homes. Crossing over a brazier can separate the realms of the living and the dead, and drive away malevolent spirits. When walking at night in the countryside, or during moments of feeling ominous, people will take out the brazier to step over it, in order to dispel bad luck

Cousin, undeterred by superstition, jogged over and stood in the circle, immediately shivering from a sudden chill in the air. He then exclaimed, "Ah! Why is that big willow tree still here!"

I know that this is my cousin's concern that my second uncle will free up some time later to give him another disdainful look. This is just an excuse to slip away. So, I followed my cousin straight to the VIP building.

A few minutes later, return once again to the vacant land of the homestead

Cousin, take me there

"What is it, Second Uncle?" I asked with some confusion while sitting in the car. I never thought I could be of any help with Second Uncle's work.

This VIP building is the most luxurious restaurant in the county town. The three floors below serve as dining areas. As for the seven floors above, not just anyone can access them.

You! Alas! Secretary Fu, your nephew is truly remarkable, I am ashamed, I take my leave!" Old Master Feng had been talking for quite a while, and finally found himself at a loss for words, directly waving his sleeve and preparing to leave

Willow tree, oh willow tree, I know they should not have left you here. It is their fault. Now I will have them move you back to your original place, where you will have the best gardener to care for you day and night. Until you recover, you will be looked after by the descendants of the Fu family. What do you think? The curse of grievance has not dispelled the willow tree's resentment, and since there is no other way, I can only negotiate with this willow tree. Fortunately, this willow tree has already developed human-like qualities. What do you think? The curse of grievance has not dispelled the willow tree's resentment, and since there is no other way, I can only negotiate with this willow tree. Fortunately, this willow tree has already developed human-like qualities.

At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Old Master Feng became somewhat unusual

This statement immediately left those around in a state of shock. What possible connection could there be between the offspring of the evil spirit and the willow tree

If it were an ordinary willow tree, it would be one thing. However, this willow tree possesses a spirit and has gained human-like qualities. After my cousin mentioned it, even the will to survive weakened a little.

In the backyard of the old house, the willow tree, towering over ten meters, lies sprawled on the ground. Its branches droop helplessly. More than half of its leaves have begun to turn yellow. Even the mottled bark has shed more than half.

If this willow tree were to completely die, then there would truly be a problem. It is said that willow branches can ward off evil spirits, and with just one strike, they can diminish by three inches. One can imagine the power of the willow tree. Moreover, this is a tree that has cultivated a spirit essence. The descendants are nearly invincible, making it almost unsolvable.

Ten minutes later, my second uncle sat down in the small hall with friends and family. Happily raising a glass, he said: "Today is the day I lay the foundation for my new house, and I thank everyone for coming to support me. We are all family, so please enjoy the food and drinks! Hehe, I have something to attend to, so I won't be joining you all."

"Cousin, quickly call someone to replant this willow tree in its original position." I breathed a sigh of relief. This matter regarding the descendants has finally come to a conclusion

Everything is ready. The feng shui flag is smoothly placed at the entrance. The crackling sound of firecrackers accompanies the mechanical roar. The foundation work has finally begun

This is being stubborn! I sighed and said: "Old Master Feng, I respect you as an elder, but in the matter of feng shui, there can be no room for error. If you had used the red string to suppress it earlier, then it would be impossible to rearrange this area! Not only would my second uncle's family face continuous disasters, but your descendants would also be unable to escape misfortune"

Watching Old Master Feng leave alone, I did not feel a sense of relief in my heart either

Cousin put down the phone and then said to me: "Cousin, you truly are a living deity with such abilities! I was originally envious of you, but now it seems that I was overestimating myself! You are really amazing!"

I stopped my cousin, who was about to confront me, and said: "Cousin, let it go. Old Master Feng is quite advanced in age. After today's incident spreads, I doubt anyone will seek him out for feng shui again"

I bent down and placed the brick on the burning brazier. Standing up, I looked solemnly at the willow tree before me

Upon exiting the VIP building, a black sedan was already waiting at the entrance

Speaking of my cousin, he is inhuman; how can I compare to that

The second uncle works for the government, and his busy schedule did not come as a surprise to these relatives

Cousin was already impressed by everything I had done, and immediately took out his phone and shouted without hesitation: "Hello, Xiao Wang, hurry up and bring your crane to my old house. Take that big willow tree back."

Old Master Feng, having spent a lifetime studying feng shui, ultimately finds it all to be in vain

The incantation to dispel grievances was completed. Stepping in the Seven Stars formation, I formed a hand seal and circled around the fire basin. With a stamp of my foot, I shouted loudly: "Swiftly, as commanded, break!"

All beings harbor many grievances, and these grievances are deeply entangled and difficult to resolve, resulting in enmity that lasts a lifetime. If not repaid in three lifetimes, the cycle continues. Today, I transmit the wondrous teachings to alleviate all grievances and karmic debts. Those who hear and recite with sincere intent will see their adversaries disperse and vanish.
