Chapter 39

"Let me go and check out that cave," Su Jiu stepped forward and said.

As soon as Su Jiu said this, the room fell silent.

The entire room remained quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at Su Jiu with puzzled eyes.

"No way!" The thin man was the first to jump up and object.

"Who are you? Why are you here? You're not from the village. If you go to the Divine Ox Cave rashly, you'll disturb the Divine Ox," the thin man shouted loudly, looking at Su Jiu with suspicion.

"Uncle Three, he's not an outsider. His name is Su Jiu, and he's my third brother from school. I invited him to come back with me," Chen Jie spoke up at this moment.

Hearing Chen Jie's words, the thin man, whom Chen Jie called Uncle Three, relaxed his guard, but his eyes still held a hint of caution, though not as obvious.

"The Divine Ox Cave is a forbidden area of our village. Ordinary people cannot enter it casually," the thin man said resentfully, then turned to Chen Jie's mother and continued.

"Auntie, we really can't delay any longer!"

"Auntie, I have a way to wake up Uncle," Su Jiu touched his nose and said calmly.

"What..."

...

Su Jiu's words truly shocked everyone in the room.

After all, in everyone's mind, Chen Jie's father had offended the Divine Ox, which was a death sentence. But at this moment, Su Jiu's words made everyone freeze.

In fact, Su Jiu was very clear that, although this was a scientifically developed society, many remote rural areas still retained a lot of old customs, which could not be changed overnight by social progress.

Moreover, many old traditions and things had been passed down through the ages. Whether right or wrong, they could not be explained by science, just like the golden compass in his mind, which even Su Jiu himself could not explain.

It was precisely because of this that Su Jiu knew that to make these people believe him, he had to show his true abilities and shock them.

"Third Brother, can you really save my father? Is this true? Third Brother, please save my father!" Chen Jie was the first to react. Hearing Su Jiu's words, the shock in his heart was indescribable. Chen Jie, a student with a higher education, had always been skeptical of everything in the village, but the reality before him left him no choice but to believe.

But at this moment, hearing Su Jiu's words, he didn't care whether they were true or false. It was like a drowning person grabbing onto a straw, he clung to it with all his might.

"Classmate, are you really sure..." Chen Jie's mother also looked at Su Jiu with hope.

However, Su Jiu did not respond to their words at the moment. He just stared at the thin man, his eyes fixed.

Hearing Su Jiu's words, the thin man was also startled. What surprised him was not that this young man could save people, but that his words implied an offense to the Divine Ox.

As the village's hereditary geomancer, he knew very well what the Divine Ox represented.

Saving Chen Jie's father would be going against the Divine Ox, which was a death wish!

Regardless of whether this young man was telling the truth or not, his words represented an offense to the Divine Ox.

In an instant, Uncle Three made a decision. Regardless of whether this young man was telling the truth or not, he could not agree to his request. Chen Jie's father must be placed in a coffin and sent to the Divine Ox Cave. Saving him was out of the question, and going to the Divine Ox Cave was even more impossible.

How could he, as the geomancer of Chen Village and the guardian of the Divine Ox Cave, allow an outsider to offend the Divine Ox? That would be courting death!

Uncle Three was about to speak to refute Su Jiu's words and deny the young man, but suddenly he saw Su Jiu's eyes, and his mind became hazy. Then he said,

"Alright! You can try."

Hearing the thin man's words, everyone in the room was startled, wondering why he would say such a thing. But at this moment, they were more curious about the young man Chen Jie had brought back, eager to see what methods he would use to handle the situation.

Chen Jie and his mother were also delighted, without too much doubt. Their thoughts were entirely focused on the middle-aged man lying in bed.

Su Jiu's lips curled into a slight smile, and he felt a sense of satisfaction.

From the situation just now, he had a general idea. This Chen Village was probably dominated by this so-called Uncle Three.

He had known from the beginning that his request would not be agreed to, so he had quickly circulated the energy within his body, directly shocking the thin man, making him momentarily dazed and leaving a trace in his mind.

This was why the thin man had unexpectedly agreed to his request.

As a feng shui master at the Qi Cultivation stage, such a small trick was no problem for him.

Seeing everything develop as he had planned, Su Jiu smiled and took two steps forward, beginning to carefully observe Chen Jie's father.

Earlier, when he entered the room, Su Jiu had secretly observed Chen Jie's father.

The middle-aged man lying in bed had a dull complexion, his face filled with a deathly aura. His forehead was dark and lifeless, with several deep wrinkles, and within the wrinkles, there seemed to be threads of black energy moving.

Seeing this, Su Jiu was almost certain that Chen Jie's father was being plagued by some unclean force.

Or, in other words, he was being affected by yin and sha qi.

In rural areas, this would be considered offending the spirits.

Especially in the northwest of Guizhou, where there are many ethnic minorities and the influence of customs is severe, and in Chen Village, with such a legend, Su Jiu was certain of this conclusion, not to mention the words of Uncle Three.

Su Jiu was certain that if he were not here today, Chen Jie's father would have only one outcome, a result that required no thought...

But since he had encountered this, given his relationship with Chen Jie, he could not let such a thing happen. That was why Su Jiu had taken the actions he did.
