Chapter 64

Uncle San nervously looked at Su Jiu. Just a moment ago, his originally excited and elated mood had once again become heavy.

He didn't know what choice Su Jiu would make.

At this moment, Uncle San was eagerly watching Su Jiu.

Su Jiu lowered his head and pondered deeply.

Things often turned out to be beyond one's expectations.

He never thought that the story of Chenjiacun would be like this.

Indeed, under his anger, Uncle San had explained everything clearly.

Uncle San had always been aware of what was happening beneath the Niu Shen Cave.

The existence of the ancient tomb, Uncle San knew about it, and even the few elders of Chenjiacun were aware.

The reason why he didn't tell Su Jiu, Uncle San honestly explained, was to test Su Jiu's abilities.

Su Jiu also didn't expect things to be like this.

Some of the elders had been silently guarding the secret of Chenjiacun for four hundred years.

He also never expected that Uncle San's family had been paying such a heavy price generation after generation.

From Uncle San's mouth, Su Jiu learned that this secret had been passed down from four hundred years ago.

It was never told to everyone to ensure a stable living environment for the villagers of Chenjiacun.

Su Jiu still had many questions in his heart.

But Su Jiu didn't say them out loud.

Currently, the feng shui layout of Chenjiacun had been resolved, but that didn't mean Chenjiacun was out of trouble.

There was a more important point.

That was the curse of Chenjiacun.

Su Jiu wasn't very clear about the curse.

"Uncle San, the feng shui layout of Chenjiacun is temporarily fine, but the curse of Chenjiacun, you need to tell me in detail," Su Jiu thought for a moment. Regardless of the reason, even just for Lao Ye, he still had to deal with the issues of Chenjiacun.

"The curse, it's actually due to the inverted vertical coffin," Uncle San's heart relaxed when he heard Su Jiu speak. No matter what, it seemed that Master Su wasn't angry with him.

"How so?" Su Jiu was puzzled about this.

This trip to the ancient tomb, although he had resolved the issue of the dragon vein's source, it left him with more unresolved questions.

"Master Su must be very puzzled, why is this clearly an ancient tomb called Niu Shen Cave?" Uncle San pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, and continued.

"Actually, the story began four hundred years ago."

"At that time, the ancestors of the Chen family occupied this place and naturally envied the special abilities of the Miao people. In that era, personal martial prowess was of great importance. To obtain this secret, the ancestors tried every means and finally got this method from the Miao people."

"This method actually starts with this ancient tomb. Master Su knows that this ancient tomb has existed for at least two thousand years. Later, the people of Chenjiacun also studied it and found that this ancient tomb originated from the Han Dynasty, indeed having a history of over two thousand years."

"Who built this ancient tomb, we don't know. The method we learned from the Miao people was to drip each person's blood onto the surface of the inverted vertical coffin, and they would gain that mysterious power."

"At that time, the ancestors of Chenjiacun knew this method and tried it. Indeed, as the Miao people said, anyone who dripped their blood would gain this mysterious power. The ancestors of Chenjiacun were very excited. Every person in Chenjiacun underwent this ritual, and it was passed down generation after generation. The bloodstains on the inverted vertical coffin partly came from the people of Chenjiacun."

"At that time, we didn't understand these things and didn't think about why. We just thought that with such mysterious power, we would have the strength to survive in turbulent times."

"This custom was thus preserved, and generation after generation of people adhered to it. Until a few decades ago, a feng shui master passed through our village and noticed the abnormality of Chenjiacun. After an exploration, he finally found the cause. This feng shui master was very famous and very powerful."

"No one in Chenjiacun could match him, even if the whole village united, they couldn't resist. After subduing us, this feng shui master told us everything and convinced us."

"It was then that we realized how foolish we were, using blood sacrifices, and even sacrificing the future of Chenjiacun."

"Indeed, inside that stone pillar is a monster, nurtured by the dragon vein and the blood sacrifices of over a thousand people from the Chen family for generations."

Uncle San's emotions grew more agitated as he spoke, and his words became somewhat disordered. Su Jiu knew this was a sign of great agitation.

Su Jiu didn't interrupt Uncle San. After a pause to calm down, Uncle San continued.

"The ancient tomb below is called Niu Shen Cave. This name wasn't given by the people of Chenjiacun but has been called so by the Miao people. At that time, our ancestors didn't pay attention to the meaning behind it, thinking it was just a common name. Some even believed that such a name could conceal the existence of the ancient tomb, so this name has been passed down."

"Decades ago, after the feng shui master who passed through Chenjiacun told us everything, the elders of the village decided to seek help from this feng shui master, hoping he would take action. However, the feng shui master just shook his head. I was young then, but I was present, and I clearly remember that the feng shui master only said one sentence: 'I can resolve this situation, but I cannot resolve it.' After saying this, the feng shui master left."

"Since then, the people of Chenjiacun no longer mentioned Niu Shen Cave, and new generations no longer went to Niu Shen Cave to drip blood. We thought things would improve, but gradually, we realized we were too naive. The feng shui layout of the entire Chenjiacun began to change, becoming somewhat abnormal."

"Later, such situations slowly began to appear..."

Uncle San spoke a lot in one breath. Although his words were somewhat disordered, Su Jiu understood the meaning Uncle San was trying to convey.

Su Jiu took a deep breath.

Some of the questions he couldn't understand before finally made sense at this moment.

Everything was like this.

Chenjiacun was a special case, very special.

What exactly was the thing at the source of the dragon vein and what the Miao people had been nurturing with blood sacrifices for four hundred years?

Su Jiu currently didn't know.

Su Jiu was also relieved that he hadn't directly destroyed the inverted vertical coffin just now.

That thing was not something he could provoke at his current level.

Perhaps he would deal with this issue when he had the strength in the future.

Just as Su Jiu thought this, he heard Uncle San say,

"Master Su, please forgive my earlier rudeness. I beg Master Su to resolve the curse of Chenjiacun and save our village." After saying this, Uncle San suddenly knelt down in front of Su Jiu.

"Uncle San, you can't do this, please get up," Su Jiu was clearly startled by Uncle San's action and quickly moved forward to help him up.

"Please, Master Su, help us!" Uncle San didn't say he wouldn't get up unless Su Jiu agreed, but his tone was very firm.

Su Jiu's hand, which was reaching out, paused in mid-air. After a moment of hesitation, Su Jiu said,

"Alright, I agree, Uncle San."

Su Jiu was very clear that, regardless of anything else, even just for Chen Jie, he wouldn't stand idly by.

Another reason was that the source of the dragon vein and the inverted vertical coffin had already been sealed by him using the Bagua Array.

There was no immediate cause for concern.

Based on the content recorded in the golden compass in his mind, Su Jiu had some confidence.

Resolving the curse.

This shouldn't be a big problem; there were related records on the golden compass in his mind.

"Thank you, Master Su, thank you, Master Su." Uncle San was immediately moved upon hearing Su Jiu's words.

"Uncle San, it's getting late. Let's talk about resolving the curse tomorrow. Let's go down the mountain first." The sky had already darkened, and the sun had completely set, leaving only a faint red glow.

"Alright, alright, alright! Everything will be as Master Su says." Uncle San stood up, walked ahead, and his face was full of excitement.

PS: I'm still asking for recommendations. Next week, I'll be running naked; without recommendations, I have nothing.
