Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Old Master Su shook his head doubtfully and asked a few more questions. After confirming that she was really here to see the feng Shui and not a student who had gone on a hiking trip to the wrong place, he led the group of people up the mountain with the help of the people beside him.
“Old Master Su, can I ask about the general situation on your side?”The one in the Taoist robe asked.
Old Master Su sighed.” Last month, my grandson inexplicably fell down the stairs and hit his head. He almost lost his life. A week later, my eldest son got into a car accident on the road. Last week, my youngest son was stabbed by a steel bar at the construction site. The project that the company had been working on for a long time was also backed out at the last minute. I suspect that someone has touched our ancestral grave.”
The master stroked his sparse beard and turned to look at the other side.”
Master Guo, what do you think?”
Master Guo nodded.” It does sound unusual.”
The two of them discussed as if Lu Miao was invisible.
There was nothing they could do about it. Lu Miao was young and immature, and she did not look like a Feng Shui master. They had seen Lu Miao get out of the taxi with their own eyes just now.
In this line of work, as long as they had some real ability, they would not be so poor that they could only take a taxi out.
Although Old Master Su brought her up the mountain with him, he did not believe her from the bottom of his heart when he saw how young she was.
It was also because he was too desperate and after hearing the rumors about the Lin family, he anxiously sent people to the Lin family to find the so-called master on the internet.
Most likely she’s a scammer.
However, since there were already two other masters, it didn’t matter whether she would be here or not.
Seeing that Lu Miao could not participate in the discussion between the two masters, the two disciples behind the two masters looked at her with disdain.
She was always someone who took action instead of wasting time on idle talk. It would be more direct to prove herself with strength and slap them in the face when the time comes.
She narrowed her eyes and glanced at the group of people following behind Old Master Su. Her brows twitched slightly, but she did not say anything.
As they walked halfway up the mountain, it became clear that not far from the foot of the mountain, a meandering river surrounded the mountain range and flowed towards the sea.
The mountain range beneath their feet and in the distance formed a majestic dragon, with layers of mountains representing wood, and the water flowing towards the sea on the right side, depicting the image of a dragon exploring the ocean.
Indeed, it was a good place, but…
After walking for another few hundred meters, Lu Miao suddenly stopped in her tracks.
“Old Master Su.”
The person in front stopped and Old Master Su turned to look at her.” Miss Lu, is there a problem?”
Lu Miao looked at him with a faint smile.” Old Master Su, do you have anything to say?”
“Miss Lu, what do you mean? I don’t understand.”Old Master Su furrowed his brows as he looked at her.
Lu Miao was too lazy to beat around the bush with him. She said directly,” Old
Master Su, I’m afraid you didn’t invite us here today just to see the ancestral
grave, right?”
Old Master Su’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
He tentatively responded, ‘Miss Lu, what do you mean? I don’t understand.”
Lu Miao nodded.” Since Old Master Su doesn’t want to reveal the truth, I’m sorry. I can’t help you today.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked down the mountain without hesitation.
“Ha, playing tricks.” Master Guo’s little disciple mocked softly.
Another person echoed,” That’s right. I bet she saw that we are about the reach the destination, so she insisted on leaving to avoid exposing her scams.”
Although Master Guo and Master Zhang did not say anything, they did not mind Lu Miao’s departure.
After all, she was just a little girl who relied on trickery to get by. If she wanted to leave, then let her go.
Old Master Su hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and quickly stepped forward to stop her.
“Miss Lu, please wait.”
Lu Miao stopped walking and raised her eyebrows. She looked at the old man and said nothing.
Old Master Su sighed heavily.
When he came to the Lin Family, he thought that it would be a highly respected master. However, he was completely disappointed when he saw Lu Miao.
He could only place all his hopes on Master Guo and Master Zhang.
However, in this situation, he had to admit that he seemed to have misjudged. He nodded.” That’s right. I invited you here today not just to see the ancestral grave.”
The other two masters beside him had a disdainful expressions on their faces just a moment ago. When they heard this, their expressions could not help but change again and again.
In other words, the two of them, who were both famous masters in the industry, could not predict Old Master Suls purpose for this trip, but Lu Miao, who was only in her teens, had predicted it.
If this got out, they would lose face in the industry in the future. Master Guo’s face darkened.”Old Master Su, what do you mean?” Old Master Su had no choice but to tell the truth.
“What I told you just now is true. I didn’t lie to you. I really suspect that someone has touched our ancestral grave. It’s just…”
At this point, he paused for a moment, and a hint of struggle flashed across his face. In the end, he sighed and said,” The day before yesterday, my wife personally brought our grandson to offer incense to the ancestors. She wanted to ask the ancestors to bless her and see if there was anything wrong. Unexpectedly, after they arrived here, she disappeared and had not returned home yet.”
“Old Master Su, if someone is missing, you should call the police. Why are you looking for us?” Master Guo was displeased because he had been deceived.
No wonder Old Master Su brought so many people with him when he went up the mountain. It turned out that he was looking for someone.
Old Master Su shook his head bitterly.” It’s useless. I’ve already sent many people here to look for them. Everyone who came has disappeared. Two days had passed since yesterday morning. If we can’t find them soon, I’m worried that something bad will happen to them. I would like to ask the few masters to help me give some pointers.”
In fact, the people he sent would lose contact as soon as they went up the mountain, let alone find someone. They couldn’t get through to the phone, and they couldn’t even locate the satellite.
It was as if this mountain could eat people, eating anyone who entered.
He originally thought that as long as he could successfully ascend the mountain with a few masters, he might be able to find the person along the
way.
However, he did not expect that Lu Miao would see through it in advance.
Hearing him speak the truth, the two of them looked a little better.
Master Guo said,” It sounds like there’s some kind of formation on the mountain that can make people lose their way. I can help to divine the approximate location, but I’m not very good at breaking formations.”
Master Zhang thought for a moment.” I do have some knowledge of formations. However, if you want to break the formation, you have to know exactly what formation it is. If I couldn’t figure it out, it might take a longer time. It might take three to four days or even longer to deduce. Moreover, if they encountered a great ominous formation, breaking it would be extremely dangerous. If I am not careful, not only would I not be able to save her, I might even lose my life..”
