The next morning, Shen Ye and Ye Ze set off for the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb.
Mr. Zhu was already waiting there. He was an old friend of Ye Ze’s grandfather and naturally acquainted with Ye Ze as well. He had even presented Shen Ye with a gift during the last banquet at Ye Ze’s home, so both sides were not strangers to each other.
“You’ve arrived,” Mr. Zhu greeted them with a smile as he approached.
Ye Ze and Shen Ye quickly greeted him respectfully.
Mr. Zhu briefed them on the situation.
This place was Huangling hundreds of years ago, but it has now been protected by the authorities. The relocation of the ancestral tomb this time is just for constructing a new tomb mound. The main reason for inviting Shen Ye was for him to assess the feng shui of the new location. As for coming here, they simply wanted to inform their ancestors that the tomb had been relocated and hoped that their ancestors would follow them.
The new location was a hill not far from the outskirts, which had been purchased by the Zhu family.
“No problem,” Shen Ye nodded. “Your ancestors have long been reincarnated, but they have left behind blessings and protection for their descendants. I will transfer these blessings to the new location so that they can continue to bless and protect you.”
Mr. Zhu exclaimed excitedly, “That’s great!”
Shen Ye continued, “But before that, there’s something I need to discuss with you.”
He turned to look at Ye Ze.
Ye Ze understood his meaning immediately and asked someone to bring Master Yin.
Mr. Zhu was surprised to see Master Yin. “Why is this master here?”
Last week, Master Yin approached Mr. Zhu on his own, offering to help with the relocation of the ancestral tomb. Mr. Zhu had considered the matter carefully since it was a significant event, but as Master Yin was a stranger, he was not entirely at ease and ultimately declined the offer.
Shen Ye did not conceal the fact that Master Yin had been arranging the altar at the Zhu family cemetery. He informed Mr. Zhu directly and concluded, “The feng shui of your family’s tomb has been disturbed, but it’s not a problem. I can restore it.”
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a dense black aura shrouding the entire cemetery. According to reason, as the ancestors of the Zhu family were of noble status, and the Zhu family had always received their ancestors’ blessings, there should have been auspicious energy. It was evident that the feng shui of the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb had long been disrupted by Master Yin.
Mr. Zhu trembled with anger after hearing this. “He… He truly had ulterior motives!”
Shen Ye said, “Fortunately, you didn’t agree to his offer initially. Otherwise, the fortune of the Zhu family would have been drained by him.”
Mr. Zhu was filled with regret and hastily said, “Master Shen, please help us. Please ensure that nothing happens to our ancestral tomb.”
Shen Ye was Ye Ze’s partner, and Mr. Zhu and Ye Ze’s grandfather were good friends. In terms of seniority, Shen Ye was a junior, but Mr. Zhu referred to him as a master, indicating how seriously he regarded this matter.
Mr. Zhu was extremely grateful that he had sought help from his trusted friends. In fact, he trusted Ye Ze’s grandfather and Shen Ye the most. Otherwise, he would not have declined Master Yin’s self-recommendation.
“Don’t worry,” Shen Ye reassured Mr. Zhu with a calming gaze. Then, he waved his hand and brought Master Yin in front of him.
Master Yin stared at him warily.
Shen Ye glanced at him calmly and said, “The Zhu family’s ancestral tomb has ended up like this because of you. Actions have consequences. To restore the original appearance of the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb, I must throw you in.”
Master Yin had been practicing by absorbing and refining Yin energy. The Zhu family’s ancestral tomb had turned into a huge gathering of Yin energy, which also affected other tombs. If left unchecked, this whole area of Huangling would suffer.
The current solution was to throw Master Yin into the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb and let him absorb all the Yin energy.
However, by doing so, there was a risk that Master Yin would burst and die. After all, Yin energy was more dangerous than spiritual energy. It needed to be gradually assimilated and refined, not absorbed all at once.
Master Yin clearly sensed Shen Ye’s intentions and realized that he might explode and die. His face instantly changed from anger to fear, and finally turned into pleading.
He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but unfortunately, Shen Ye had already sealed his mouth with talisman paper, rendering him unable to utter a word.
Shen Ye had no intention of listening to his nonsense. He performed a technique and directly threw Master Yin into the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb.
Then, he took out a peach wood brush and peach wood sword to begin arranging the formation.
If Master Yin were to explode, it would undoubtedly affect the surrounding tombs, and there were also several villages nearby. Shen Ye was concerned about the people in the villages being affected by the Yin energy. Therefore, he had to enclose the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb with a formation to prevent the spread of Yin energy.
Ye Ze guessed what he was about to do and asked softly, “Can I help in any way?”
With the purple aura around him and his ability to see Yin energy now, perhaps he could be of assistance.
Shen Ye smiled and kissed him affectionately. “Having you by my side is enough.”
He had become much more stable in his spiritual and mental state, and he didn’t need the purple aura on Ye Ze for arranging the formation or dealing with the Taoist priest.
However, with Ye Ze by his side, he felt more at ease.
Ye Ze caressed his face and responded softly, “Alright.”
Shen Ye quickly arranged the formation, and now they just had to wait for Master Yin’s reaction.
Mr. Zhu and the Zhu family members stood quietly behind Shen Ye, not daring to disturb him.
However, they were all curious about what Shen Ye was doing.
Shen Ye had no intention of explaining in detail and simply turned to Mr. Zhu, saying, “It should be ready in about half an hour. At that time, I will retrieve the blessings left by your ancestors and transfer them to the new location.”
Mr. Zhu, after all, was an elderly person. Although Shen Ye didn’t explicitly state it, he could probably guess that the fortune of the Zhu family could only be restored if Master Yin died.
He pondered for a moment and asked softly, “Will this Master Yin be able to escape?”
Shen Ye quickly reassured him, “Don’t worry, he doesn’t have the ability to do so.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he remembered something and hurriedly said, “By the way… last month, I dreamt that one of our ancestors from several hundred years ago appeared in my dream. He said that his son grew up but died in battle without getting married, and he wanted to find a daughter-in-law…”
Shen Ye and Ye Ze exchanged a glance, both realizing that it was definitely Master Yin’s doing.
“The Dream’s fake.” Shen Ye told Mr. Yao’s matter to Mr. Zhu.
Mr. Zhu immediately understood and couldn’t help but shake his head. “So he wanted to deceive us into helping him harm others… How can such a person be called a master!”
He felt extremely fortunate that he hadn’t been deceived by Master Yin before. Otherwise, the Zhu family would have become executioners.
Shen Ye also felt helpless. He hadn’t encountered many good Taoist priests.
Perhaps it was because there was too little spiritual energy in this world, so many practicing Taoist priests resorted to unorthodox methods.
He actually quite liked this world. After all, since he came here, he had met Ye Ze, as well as good people like Grandpa Ye, Grandma Shen, and Xu Sisi, which made him feel the warmth of family and friends.
If possible, he also hoped to bring positive changes to this world.
However… the operation of every world had its predetermined course. The depletion of spiritual energy in this world must have a reason, and he couldn’t change it. The heavenly dao probably wouldn’t allow him to change it either…
Thinking of this, Shen Ye could only sigh softly and give up his unrealistic thoughts.
After half an hour, a loud explosion came from the Zhu family’s ancestral tomb. Of course, the sound was isolated by the formation, and the outside world couldn’t hear it.
However, Ye Ze whispered softly by his side, “Has it begun?”
Shen Ye was surprised. “You can hear it?”
Ye Ze nodded gently.
Shen Ye pondered for a moment. It seemed that his partner’s cultivation had improved again, but his partner himself had no awareness of it at all. He didn’t seem like someone who had entered the Dao.
He regained his senses and pointed to the sky, saying, “Take a look.”
Ye Ze looked over and saw the dense black aura shrouding the cemetery gradually dissipating, revealing a trace of golden light.
Both of them were very surprised.
Shen Ye said, “…Is this merit?”
Ye Ze held his hand. “It should be.”
Shen Ye couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Mr. Zhu’s expression.
The ancestors of the Zhu family… must have done something great, right?
But as far as he knew, the Zhu family… didn’t seem to have a good ending in the end…
I didn’t write much today, still organizing the plot. I’ll work hard tomorrow! Fist pump!
