Chapter 8

That's right, it was a toad with only three legs.

It had two legs in front and one in the back, which was located right in the middle under its buttocks.

It was beside the bones. When it saw the lid being opened, it didn't leave; it just croaked once, glanced at us, and then continued to remain motionless.

Everyone looked at the three-legged toad in the coffin with great surprise, utterly shocked.

In our village, whenever a young man failed to find a match or got divorced, the elders would comfort him, saying not to worry, it's just a woman. A three-legged toad is hard to find, but women with two legs are everywhere.

This was the rare three-legged toad they spoke of.

"Ah! Red Toad Sucks Fortune!" As I gazed at the red three-legged toad in the coffin, He Zhongtian exclaimed these words, indicating that he knew about this feng shui arrangement.

Huang Baiwan turned to look at him but didn't ask him any questions. Instead, he turned to me and asked, "Mr. Li, what is this? How can such a thing exist?"

I examined the red three-legged toad in the coffin and explained, "Red Toad Sucks Fortune, bringing continuous misfortune. Within ten years, your family will be left childless and heirless."

Upon hearing my words, Huang Baiwan's face turned ashen with shock!

I continued, "This feng shui arrangement is one of the top ten in all feng shui studies! There are two types of three-legged toads: one is golden, called the Golden Toad. If you can unearth a Golden Toad, your descendants will surely be wealthy and noble, as the Golden Toad only resides in places of great wealth. The red one, however, is the opposite. The Red Toad sucks fortune; it not only drains your family's luck but also releases it here, attracting countless earthworms. The three waves of earthworms we saw earlier were drawn by the fortune released by this Red Toad."

"Good fortune can nourish those animals, and the appearance of countless earthworms has eroded the roots of the evergreen trees in front of the grave, which is why we see the evergreen trees about to wither."

After hearing my explanation, Huang Baiwan finally understood.

However, he was more puzzled and frustrated, "How could this happen? Who could have set such a deadly feng shui trap for our family? I, Huang, have always acted with integrity; I truly don't know who I have offended."

The most terrifying thing was that even now, Huang Baiwan didn't know who he had offended.

After a moment of frustration, he hurriedly asked me, "Mr. Li, what should we do now? Should we kill this Red Toad?"

I shook my head and said, "Killing it won't work; we need to make it leave on its own! Only if it leaves on its own will everything in your family improve. If you kill it inside, within a year, everyone in your family will surely die."

Huang Baiwan was frightened by my words and quickly asked, "What should we do then?"

I told Huang Baiwan, "Don't worry, take out the twenty-four red paper coins and the three yellow paper coins I prepared. Only by making it leave can the Huang family be at ease."

Huang Yiyi, like a little helper, hurriedly ran to the car and brought out the red paper coins and yellow paper coins I had asked them to prepare.

I first burned the three yellow paper coins in front of the tombstone, then took the red paper coins to the newly dug grave and lit them. I threw the red paper coins directly into the grave, reciting, "Heaven's three wonders are the sun, moon, and stars, penetrating heaven and earth, startling ghosts and gods. With the arrival of twenty-four red coins, evil spirits will flee without stopping. All bad luck will be taken away, never to return to this grave! Break!"

As I shouted the final "Break," the last red paper coin was burned!

After the red coins were burned, the three-legged toad suddenly croaked and then jumped out of the grave. It jumped about ten meters.

The Red Toad jumped ten meters and croaked once! Then, it continued to croak and jump out of our sight. A few minutes later, the croaking stopped, and the three-legged toad disappeared.

Seeing it leave, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was finally resolved! There were some minor setbacks along the way, but everything happened exactly as described in the book.

"Close the coffin and fill the grave back up!" I instructed Huang Baiwan.

However, at this moment, He Zhongtian couldn't hold back any longer! He muttered, "No, it's impossible, impossible, too suspicious, this matter is too suspicious."

After muttering to himself, he suddenly pointed at me and said, "It's him! He must be the one who set the feng shui trap!"

At that moment, He Zhongtian looked like a vicious dog, ready to bite me to death!

Upon hearing He Zhongtian's words, the Huang family's brows furrowed as they looked at me.

I was bewildered by his words but maintained my usual composure! Despite being falsely accused, I was extremely anxious, but I had to keep my composure.

"Mr. He, what do you mean by that?" Huang Baiwan asked, his tone slightly irritated.

He Zhongtian said, "Feng shui is not something you can master in just ten or eight years. To truly understand feng shui, you need at least twenty years of practice. This guy looks no more than twenty, and I don't believe he started learning feng shui from the womb. Even I couldn't detect such a feng shui trap, so how could he?"

"So, I'm sure he's the one who set the feng shui trap! He did it to gain fame in the world of mysticism. Think about it, this feng shui was arranged by my master. Even though he has been dead for many years, his reputation in the world of mysticism remains. If he solves a problem with my master's feng shui, he will become famous overnight."

Upon hearing He Zhongtian's words, Huang Baiwan's brows furrowed deeply.

"Huang Elder, this guy has ulterior motives! I swear on my life, he is definitely the one who set the feng shui trap for your family."

I laughed coldly and said, "Mr. He, you are a disciple of Master Zuhuo, and I didn't expect you to say such things! Just because you don't understand something, does that mean others can't? I find your words contradictory. You just said that one needs at least twenty years of practice to truly understand feng shui. Now you say I set the feng shui trap for the Huang family. Isn't that contradictory?"

"Huang Elder, I only came from a distant village half a month ago and know nothing about your family! If you don't believe me, you can check! Neither I nor my grandfather have ever been to this place."

Upon hearing my words, He Zhongtian immediately argued, "If not you, then it must be your grandfather! He must have set the feng shui curse, and you came to resolve it to establish your reputation."

"Enough! He Zhongtian." Huang Baiwan finally couldn't hold back, "Stop your baseless accusations! For the sake of your master, leave now. If you continue to spout nonsense, don't blame me for losing my temper."
