watching them Are they safe"“Quán Hēng and the little boy were watching… It should be safe, let’s go out and talk.” I clutched Jiang Qǐyún’s robe tightly.He held a sword in one hand and made incantat...When Jiang Qiyun's sitting meditation came to an end, my brother’s expression relaxed considerably. He chuckled as he drove, saying, “I told you he couldn't bear to part with you... Look, he's just trying to find a way to use the Dharma gate, isn't he Well, counting this way, his meditation time was quite long…about a hundred years.”

My brother shook his head: “Make me sit for a hundred years I couldn’t even stand sitting for a day, even immortals and gods get bored.”

"Otherwise, why would so many immortals descend to the mortal world"

"Ha ha... I'll tell you, when you see that official young master later… you, you don't be too surprised." He awkwardly laughed twice.

"Surprised Why should I be surprised" I asked, puzzled.

“Because that young master was a bit off.”

"Where's the problem Did you go crazy" This kind of situation is pretty common, after all, a normal person is developing a project and suddenly unearths a bunch of shriveled heads that fly around everywhere!

Such things are unbelievable if spoken aloud, but those who provoke them are in extreme danger. Being scared out of one's mind is considered a good outcome; some are directly terrified to death.

“Let me tell you, Dabao and Wu Jie have been working together these two days to gather information. I told them to focus on Zhu Weiti... that is Qi Ke Xin. They said that recently, Qi Ke Xin has been using her special identity to frequently visit government courtyards and make connections with the families of high-ranking officials.”

"Zhu Weiti wanted to build a stronghold in the Famen sect within the Mi River region. Otherwise, where would her ghosts hide She should have left behind several capable assistants, we need to be careful." I reminded.

"Well, those are all being investigated. Sister Wu is practically a bandit who roams the underworld! I heard from Da Bao that she's too bold and almost got caught as a spy when she went to inquire about information. Luckily, Da Bao saved her."

I shook my head helplessly. Sister Wu's temper, even ghosts would be afraid!

The car drove northwest towards the capital, and north of there was a mountain range. My brother said that if we bypassed it, we would reach the site of that high-ranking official's project.

I'm a bit confused, is this really a real estate development site How come the terrain feels so strange

My brother smiled, “Xiao Qiao, you must find this strange, right I was dumbfounded at first too.”

"What does that mean"

"Do you think this is a suitable place for real estate development"

"It's unsuitable. This place is under the Emperor's feet, filled with talented people. Couldn't they see this terrain is simply not suitable for living" I frowned and shook my head.

The features are unfavorable, the Qi does not harmonize, and even the celestial stars are useless.

The largest geographical environment is the most difficult to change and also the most fundamental thing in feng shui. “Fundamental” is not good, no matter how much attention you pay to the layout, it won't have much effect.

"This place is publicly claimed to be a health resort, but it's really not." My brother scoffed. "It's obvious that if high-ranking officials and their sons openly promoted such a commercial project, they would have been stabbed in the back and brought down long ago... This place is actually being built as a special prison!"

A special prison

It's no wonder this place is chosen in such a remote location, and they even dig up human heads.

"This should be an ancient battlefield. The air of killing hasn't dissipated for hundreds of years. There is a water source underground, so it was a place that soldiers fought over."

"So-called 'Dragon Lock Wells' are a measure to block and slow down the flow of underground rivers. During wartime, it was impossible to forge long enough chains to block the underground rivers, so they would string the heads of the war dead onto iron chains and drop them into the 'lock the dragon', thus vying for war resources."

“Master Dingguosi said that walking the dragon (走蛟) is not what we understand, but refers to the underground river water changing its course or drying up, meaning the dragon has already left.”

My brother spoke slowly, our headlights piercing the darkness of the road ahead.

Ordinary people work during the day and rest at night, while our circle is the opposite: we rest during the day and work at night.

There's no way around it, those things only appear when yang energy dissipates and yin energy permeates.

After rounding the mountains, I saw from afar a construction site shrouded in black smoke.

"There's no one dead here!" I saw that black qi, I couldn't believe it.

The evil spirit surged into the sky, haven't people died yet

"Who knows! Maybe they'll just try to cover it up... and even the old monk from Dingshishan Temple was forced to perform a ritual, don't you think he wouldn't force other monks to come here and act as head priests" My brother scoffed.

"So, does this count as butting in This is really frowned upon in our circle..." I hesitated.

"What are you afraid of You're the acting head of the Shen family, and the Shen family's Kun Dao has nothing to fear. Anyway, it's well-known that the women of the Shen family are domineering, so why take the blame for something they didn't do You're so kind and polite, people will just take advantage of you." My brother scoffed.

Under the rule of this emperor, everyone is cunning and scheming, surpassing each other in cleverness. The kind are only exploited by others.

As we neared the construction site, the scene before us appeared through a hazy veil—a testament to the spatial anomaly. This place was clearly confined by a magical barrier, suppressing the malevolent energies that would otherwise have sent those severed heads scattering in every direction.

These things have become lowly demons, devoid of souls, seeking only the life force of humans.

When our car drove in, the surroundings felt like a completely different environment.

In the distance, lights flickered on the construction site, hazy and dim beneath a shroud of smoke.

It seems like it's still under construction!

"No way, with all this going on, they're still working" I stared over there in disbelief.

My brother smirked and said, “This is a secret national mission. If it's not completed within the time limit... heheh, does his father still want his official hat”

"To have rights and not life, what a crazy deal!" I said sarcastically.

"There's no other way... If we don't hold onto this power, they're really going to be in trouble... One slip-up, and their family will be the first guests at this special prison." My brother tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, driving slowly towards the construction site.

There's a gate at this construction site. We parked and went through security inspection. The guard, with a stern and sharp expression, stared at us and asked, "What are you here for"

"Project Manager Shao invited us here… to speed up the project progress," my brother said with a raised eyebrow.

This security guard is extraordinary. Standing guard in such a gloomy and oppressive place, he has a resolute expression and unwavering eyes. He must be a soldier in disguise.

He pressed the intercom to confirm our identities and license plate number, and the voice on the other end replied: "Yes, it's Mr. Shao's guest, please come in."

Only when I met Mr. Shao did I understand what my brother meant by his earlier words: "When you meet that high-ranking official's son later, don't be too surprised..."

Mr. Shao had fair skin, a slender frame, and a refined demeanor... none of that was particularly noteworthy.

But he was especially gentle and affectionate towards my brother!

He reached out his hand to "hold" my brother's arm affectionately!

I'm struck dumb! He, he... could he possibly be a... gay!od on the platform, looking down, and saw that many ships had gathered on the river surface at some point.The flags on the boats were fluttering, each with a different totem, they must have been tribe...
