y of the family, and when he goes out, naturally many people accompany him. My grandfather, second grandfather, uncle, cousin... seven or eight people came.As soon as he stepped into the VIP room, he...A compass, unused for a long time, lay in my palm, smooth and unassuming.

There is no Buddha in the temple. The old master said that he was temporarily locked in a side hall, with someone watching him 24 hours a day. A nationwide search is underway for skilled craftsmen to see if they can perfectly "repair" it.

The compass needle of Xiao Luo Pan Yu Xuan Ji was the same as my feeling, it didn't point to the main hall behind me, but to the covered pit.

Hostility doesn't emanate from temples, it comes from there.

It must have been the digging that disturbed something, bringing about this misfortune. This old man is lying.

It seems he won't agree to let me go and see for myself. I'll just play dumb and make some casual conversation first.

You guys, when it comes to construction in front of and behind the temple, there are certain things to keep in mind. Have you consulted someone before starting Did you offer sacrifices and prayers, or temporarily relocate the statue of a saint before beginning work

Mr. Zhao shook his head. "At the time, I didn't think much of it. After we retrieved the statue, a lot of people came, and the higher-ups demanded that we expand and renovate to meet future tourist demand, so we started construction as quickly as possible... Could it be that we broke the feng shui, and that's why the statue is punishing us"

He tentatively asked, "I pretended to be clueless and readily agreed, saying, “Yes, special places need special treatment. I'll give you a plan later. Also, where are the people from our family We should at least meet them and make sure they haven't been mistreated"

The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How dare we mistreat anyone We wouldn't dare! It's just that the young people in our clan are hot-headed and were shouting to prevent you from leaving. To avoid these youngsters acting impulsively and doing something foolish, we had no choice but to invite your several mages to stay at the guest house temporarily. We will still send them off properly after a few days."

As he spoke, he reached out and beckoned me toward the exit, his body cleverly obscuring the damaged wall behind him.

Under that shed, there must be some secret.

Jiang Qiyun glanced sideways at the other person and whispered to me, "…Come again tonight."

Isn't that just waiting for the evening

An elder gentleman took us to the village guesthouse. The guesthouse was like a budget hotel, but there were many young people sitting on stools in the parking lot both in front and behind the building, guarding it, as well as several women.

These women spend their days as housewives. Their husbands send money back from overseas, and they stay at home to care for the elderly and children. They tend to have somewhat sharp and eccentric tempers.

"Oh, which family's mage is this time Sending handsome men and beautiful women to perform rituals Can they ward off disasters" A woman immediately exclaimed.

We remained silent. Mr. Lao soothed the old man for a while, saying things like: "The Taoist priest is just trying to help," and other placating words.

Jiang Qiyun spoke in a low voice: "I'll be waiting here for you. Don't stay overnight in their village tonight, so as not to be watched."

I nodded and followed Mr. Zhao into the guest house.

Shen Qingrui and the head steward were trapped on the seventh floor. With the power out at such a high level, it was no different from house arrest.

Actually, I already have a good idea.

Shen Qingrui and the head steward weren't simply because their cultivation wasn't refined. They also sensed that things were not so simple, perhaps they saw some secret, which is why they were confined here.

The guard at the top of the seventh floor also sat there, and upon hearing our intentions, he immediately shouted angrily, "What are you doing! You dare to come here after angering our deities! Don't even think about leaving until you pay us a hundred or eight hundred thousand yuan to appease them!"

It's really funny, even going out to do a commission costs money. This is like being bumped into by a mage who's trying to scam you!

Only by doing things yourself can you feel the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the subtle nuances of roles.

I just saw those guards quarreling and scolding the Shen family. They said that not only did they fail to solve the commission, but they also angered their spirits. Each one was filled with righteous indignation, as if they were determined to fight the Shen family to the death.

Then the old man stepped in to smooth things over, saying that guests should be welcomed and not made difficult.

Finally, we agreed to meet in the conference room on the seventh floor.

My Xiaokun couldn't help but speak up: "This is illegal! How can you detain people privately!"

The young man immediately exclaimed, "Illegal Our idol was stolen, isn't that illegal The thief is still at large now! Who can give us an explanation What have we done to provoke you You didn't have to accept this commission, and it wasn't our forcing. Now that you're here, not only did you fail to solve the problem, but you even angered our gods! Who will compensate for these losses If you don't have the ability, don't do this job! Doing this job means you have to be prepared! You made a mistake and still dare to make us angry Not taking action is considered good character!"

My little Kunda was speechless. Cultivators are usually very careful about what they say, and while some can be quick-witted, they're rare. The other side clearly came prepared with a lot to say, we're no match for them.

"Quiet, quiet, this is the head of the Shen family, a big shot. He came to help us take a look and has already found the problem. There's a reason for digging behind the temple, he gave us a solution. You guys should stop arguing first." Old Man Zhao scolded them.

The young man who had been shouting the loudest immediately flashed a contemptuous smile in his eyes.

Before my older brother was there to shield me, I hadn't really paid much attention to the social intricacies of these situations.

Now his vision has broadened, and he needs to look at a higher level. I can only stand in front and experience this subtle shift firsthand.

The ascetic's keen ears and sharp eyes told me everything I needed to know about the villagers' thoughts with just this one gesture.

They know.

Knowing this is not a simple Feng Shui issue.

So I said it was a feng shui problem, and they immediately couldn't help but reveal contemptuous glances.

Young people, there's still room for improvement.

This cunning old man, a real slick operator, immediately told them to leave and went to "invite" the Shen family people.

I sat in the small conference room for a while, and the head manager was brought in first. There were a bunch of people around him, so we didn't have a chance to whisper.

"Master!" he panted, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "A grave blunder! I've caused you so much trouble! For you to personally come and retrieve someone... it's truly embarrassing, shameful."

"Who do you think you are, with your big heart and headstrong ways You get into trouble and don't even tell me, thinking you can handle it yourself Honestly, you wouldn't have bothered me anyway. I'm too lazy to care about this much. Just come crying to me when something goes wrong, because you know, it's not like I'm the one suffering."I rolled my eyes.

The chief steward wouldn't sit down, standing beside me and apologizing profusely.

Every time he tried to get closer to me, a young man would step in and block him, keeping him a full pace away from me.

Soon, Shen Qingru arrived as well. Upon seeing me, she wore a furious expression on her face and glanced around the people present before coldly stating: "……You've brought the top 'figure' of our Shen family to your doorstep. None of you can escape this! You dare confine me I promise you'll all regret it sooner or later!"

"Shen Qingrui!" I frowned and glared at her.

What a temper! Is this the time to be issuing threats I can't even handle this much anger, I really don't know how she cultivates herself!

Shen Qingrui looked at me, her lips pursed in displeasure as she lowered her head and said, "Headmaster, the tasks here are not something we mages can solve. These people—"pear again Shouldn't you be at the Heavenly Emperor's Palace You are a divine immortal with an official position. Don't you have to return to your post when it's time" I asked.He only appeared during...
