"Is there another purpose behind the malevolent ghost?"

As I pondered this, Wang Dong sent me a voice message.

"Li Ge, Zhao Man can't even see Boss Lv. She's not on his level. But I managed to see Young Master Lv. He's awake now, except..." Wang Dong hesitated.

I urged him to continue, and he lowered his voice. "Young Master Lv not only lost his arm, but he's also been diagnosed with reproductive dysfunction. He can't have children anymore. He was making a huge fuss in the hospital, saying it can't be true. I overheard him saying he's always been very virile."

Unable to have children?

The feng shui arrangement of the concubine within the tent was starting to take effect. Being unable to have children was just the tip of the iceberg. His life was at stake.

"Wang Dong, tell Young Master Lv that I can cure his condition, but he must keep it a secret from everyone. Everything must be done in secret, and he needs to help introduce me to his father without his mother and sisters knowing." I considered my words carefully.

Wang Dong continued in a low voice, "Li Ge, are you sure you can cure him? The hospital director has already declared that he can't have children..."

"Just trust me. If Young Master Lv agrees, come and pick me up."

"Alright, I trust you, Li Ge!"

There was no need for further discussion. I would just wait for Wang Dong's message.

However, I felt a little puzzled. Logically speaking, the feng shui arrangement of the concubine within the tent had been in place for a long time. Why was Young Master Lv only now affected by it? And why had he suffered so many misfortunes but managed to survive each time, as if protected by some divine force?

I couldn't figure it out for the moment, so I decided to have a meal and then consult "The Heavenly and Earthly Qing Shen Mirror" to find a way to counter the feng shui arrangement of the concubine within the tent.

After more than an hour, Wang Dong and Zhao Man arrived together.

"Li Shiyi, I'm sorry. I couldn't get close to Boss Lv. A big shot like him doesn't even give the radio station any face," Zhao Man said, looking a bit dejected.

Wang Dong clapped his chest and said, "It's okay, Xiao Man. I succeeded, didn't I? Young Master Lv has agreed to work with Li Ge."

"He agreed pretty quickly. Does he believe in feng shui?" I asked.

"He doesn't, but he's had so many bad luck incidents that he's scared now. He figures it's better to be safe than sorry. Trying it out won't hurt," Wang Dong laughed. "Li Ge, let's get to work. I want to see a miracle!"

He wanted to see how I would treat Young Master Lv's condition.

I said it was fine and that we could proceed.

As requested, Wang Dong first drove to buy some cinnabar, yellow paper, and a half-meter-tall statue of the Zhu Sheng Ma, also known as the Goddess of Fertility, who is very famous in southern Fujian and is in charge of fertility.

After buying these things, Wang Dong asked where we were going next.

I pointed to Fengtou Mountain and said, "Let's go to the Lv family ancestral grave again. This time, we'll take a closer look."

"Ah? Do we have to climb the main peak? I'll be exhausted!" Wang Dong's face turned pale, and he started sweating in advance.

I said that since he had just seen off the hungry ghost, his body needed exercise. Did he want to become a skinny and handsome guy?

He gritted his teeth, looked at the charming Zhao Man, and nodded firmly.

He would climb the mountain!

Without further ado, the three of us returned to Fengtou Mountain and spent a good hour and a half before finally reaching the main peak.

The main peak was thirty zhang tall, with dense forests. On a flat area of about one hundred square meters at the top of the mountain stood a white marble tomb, burying Young Master Lv's grandparents. Fifteen meters away from the tomb, there were also twelve pine trees surrounding it, like guards protecting the Lv family ancestral grave.

The grave mound had three trees: pine, cypress, and willow, all excellent plants. The Lv family ancestral grave was quite particular about this.

"Li Shiyi, look at that withered pine tree," Zhao Man noticed a wilted pine tree in the southeast direction.

I walked over and patted the trunk of the pine tree. It was still solid, but all the leaves were yellow and wilted, which was very strange. I chose a branch, snapped it off, and found that the inside of the branch was still wet.

Wang Dong looked surprised and said, "The leaves are all yellow, but the branches are still wet? That's not scientific!"

Generally speaking, when a tree dies, its leaves turn yellow. But the branches of this pine tree were still alive, yet the leaves seemed to have withered overnight.

I didn't say anything. I stared at the branches for a while and then pushed away the weeds to look behind the tree. Behind the tree was a cliff, like a notch that had been cut out of the air.

This was the mountain's air vent, and there was a mountain breeze blowing over this pine tree day and night.

"When the pine tree is green, future generations will enjoy the shade. This tree is located in the southeast Xun position, which governs birth. And it's positioned above the air vent, making it a crucial point in the feng shui here. If it weren't for this pine tree blocking the malevolent qi of the concubine within the tent, Young Master Lv would have died a long time ago," I sighed, finally understanding why Young Master Lv had only suffered now.

Wang Dong squinted, feeling impressed despite not understanding: "This pine tree is at the cliff's edge, quite like a single guard holding the pass against ten thousand attackers."

"Right, I estimate that the person who set up this formation left in a hurry and didn't calculate this tree well, leaving a loophole for the Lu family's male descendants. It was precisely because of this loophole that the Lu family's ancestors were able to shelter young Master Lu and help him grow up. Sigh." I gently patted the tree trunk.

Zhao Man blinked: "Li Shiyi, why are you sighing?"

"The Lu family's ancestors didn't reincarnate and have been using this pine tree to ward off the malicious qi of the account's madam. Now their souls have scattered, so the pine tree has turned yellow, and young Master Lu is also on the brink of death." I explained the reason.

Zhao Man's eyes widened in surprise: "Their souls have scattered..."

"Yeah, they died but couldn't rest in peace, suffering endlessly from the feng shui's malevolent qi. It's a sin." I squatted down and touched the soil at the base of the pine tree.

The soil had a fragrant aroma, the humidity was moderate, and it was filled with the vital qi of the xun position.

"Wang Dong, dig up two liang of soil here and take a palm-sized piece of bark." I instructed, and Wang Dong immediately got to work.

Zhao Man asked me what I was going to do with the soil and bark. I explained, "Ancestors have spirits. No matter how bad the feng shui of their graves is, there must be a corner that shelters their descendants. I originally intended to dig up grave soil, but I didn't expect a tree to have been here warding off disasters for many years. Then this tree is the corner that shelters the descendants. The soil beneath it and the bark above it are both very useful."

Zhao Man nodded, not sure what she was thinking, and bowed towards the grave and pine tree: "Excuse us, may you rest in peace."

Wang Dong worked quickly and soon dug up the soil and took the bark.

We didn't linger and headed back to the city.

In the car, I closed my eyes to rest and casually asked, "Wang Dong, what is Miss Lu's personality like?"

"Miss Lu? She's a strong-willed woman, very cold and ruthless. We should steer clear of her." Wang Dong replied.

I smiled strangely: "She's going to change soon. This is the backlash of the feng shui's malevolent qi."

"Change?" Zhao Man looked puzzled.

"The southeast xun position of the Lu family's ancestral grave has a qi opening. If you consider the main peak's cliff as a straight road, then it's like the straight road suddenly turning at the qi opening. This is called a reverse bow. The xun position corresponds to women and is the position of wind and waves, which is most taboo against the direct or reverse impact of waterways and roads."

"And the madam of the account benefits women, while the xun position also has a reverse bow. Now that the pine tree has turned yellow, the malevolent qi can't be blocked and will必定 be amplified on Miss Lu, causing her to..."

I stopped speaking midway.

Wang Dong and Zhao Man asked me at the same time: "Causing her to what?"

"Be licentious." I answered with one word and lay down to rest.

Zhao Man looked startled, then her pretty face turned red as she averted her gaze and looked out the window.

Wang Dong rubbed his hands and looked excited: "That sounds good. This handsome young man can meet Miss Lu..."

"Let's go to the hospital to see young Master Lu first."

"Alright!"

The car sped up and soon arrived at the First People's Hospital.

Young Master Lu was in a private ward, and there were many visitors. We waited until it was dark before going in.

Wang Dong went in first to say hello discretely. After confirming it was safe, he called me and Zhao Man in.

When I entered, I saw that young Master Lu had a dark complexion and lay listlessly on the hospital bed, looking like he had lost the will to live.

His right forearm was broken and wrapped in thick gauze, hanging upwards in a rather comical manner.

I observed his facial features and saw that his illness palace was darkened with black spots, indicating that a major catastrophe was unavoidable. Even if his hand injury healed, he would still meet with misfortune and die after being discharged.

"Young Master Lu, this is Master Li. I've invited him here for you," Wang Dong said obsequiously.

Young Master Lu didn't turn his head and kept staring out the window, his expression numb. He seemed to have tears in his eyes.

I asked, "Did you dream about your grandparents?"

Young Master Lu turned around sharply: "How did you know?"

"You seem to be half asleep and half awake. You should have taken a nap. The tears in the corners of your eyes indicate that you cried in your dream. Your grandparents bid farewell to you."

Young Master Lu sat up abruptly, seemingly disregarding his pain: "That's right. I don't even have any impression of them, but I don't know why I suddenly dreamed about them. I felt extremely sad. What's going on?"

I smiled gently: "Blood is thicker than water. You have a grateful heart, and it's worth it for your grandparents to have sheltered you all this time."

Young Master Lu looked puzzled, so Zhao Man explained the matter of the pine tree turning yellow. As young Master Lu listened, he started crying again and eventually sobbed loudly.

After a while, he regained his composure and treated me with respect: "Master Li, Wang Dong said that the feng shui of my family's grave has been altered. What's really going on?"

I looked at him solemnly and warned, "This matter is very significant. Young Master Lu, after hearing it, please keep it to yourself and follow my instructions on what to do next."

Young Master Lu nodded solemnly and promised to listen to me.

Only then did I explain everything clearly.

After listening, young Master Lu gritted his teeth: "Huang Yawen, how could you be so cruel? I'm still your son!"

Huang Yawen?

"That's his mother, Mrs. Lu," Wang Dong whispered.

"Young Master Lu, was the construction of Qiansihu Lake mainly decided by your mother?" I felt like I had grasped a clue.

"Yes, on the surface, my father is the one in charge in our family, but in reality, he only has shares and no equity. My mother has always looked down on him and doesn't love me. She only loves my younger sister," Young Master Lu clenched his fists.

"Why did Huang Yawen marry your father then?" Zhao Man asked curiously.

"I don't know. When I was very young, she kept urging my father to move our ancestors' grave, saying that a great feng shui master had found a treasure land called 'Swallow Nesting on the Beam' that could bring prosperity to our family for three generations," Young Master Lu said, looking puzzled.

I pondered for a moment and asked, "Young Master Lu, please tell me the birth dates and times of your father and mother."

Young Master Lu immediately provided them, and I calculated their bazi (eight characters of birth time) using my fingers. I couldn't help but be surprised.

"Your father's bazi is 'Wai Shen Xin Bai Gui Si Yi Mao', which is one of the best bazis. Men with this bazi are born to be wealthy."

"Your mother's bazi is 'Wu Wu Ding Si Ding Chou Geng Zi', which is one of the worst bazis. Women with this bazi are destined for a lifetime of poverty, treachery, vanity, and are willing to do anything for wealth and status."

Their bazis were fundamentally incompatible, and Huang Yawen must have known this.

I suddenly understood everything. Moving the ancestral grave, the account's madam, the male descendants' demise - all these were measures taken by Huang Yawen to change her fate. She wanted to defy destiny and transfer the Lu family's fate to the Huang family.

And there must be a mastermind behind her. That mastermind was likely the one who set up the Ghost Opening Eight Gates formation at Qiansihu Lake. Maybe the Ghost Opening Eight Gates was the reward Huang Yawen gave.

I finally caught the culprit!
