Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 102 - 75: Resentful Bone in the Ancestral Tomb
Mu Yunchu locked herself in the room, pondering alone for quite a while.
She needed to properly digest the news Bai Jin brought and sort it out.
According to what he said, her master and the people behind Jing Anjun had long-standing grudges.
At least thirty years old.
At that time, her master and a group of Taoist experts severely injured the opponent.
Yet at the last moment, that person managed to escape.
Although only the soul ran away. His physical body was dead and could no longer harm the human world.
But her master and the others suffered varying degrees of injuries, too.
It is said that those who participated in that great battle did not live long. Presumably, they had hurt their core, and many eventually passed away one after another.
Thirty years later, the Soul Nourishing Jade appeared. Her master spent two million to buy the item at auction to prevent it from falling into evil hands.
She guessed this might be the only way for that thing to revive currently.
What happened afterward she already knew.
No wonder Jing Anjun was not interested in anything else, but rather so interested in such a remote shop of hers.
Before Bai Jin left, he specifically reminded her to be careful; if the news about the Soul Nourishing Jade being in her hand got out, she would certainly be targeted by many inexplicable forces.
What’s more, the person behind Jing Anjun is extremely cunning.
Carefully putting the box away, a sharp gleam flashed in Mu Yunchu’s eyes.
She had already made some decisions in her heart.
...
Her door was ajar, and Li Shang cautiously knocked a few times.
Reminding her it was about time to go meet up with Luan Huacheng.
The two met at a remote suburb.
Instead of going to his house, they agreed to meet directly at the location of Luan Huacheng’s ancestral grave.
Because Mu Yunchu said, "The issue lies here."
They had to address this matter first before solving the root cause.
On the way to the meeting point, Luan Huacheng’s mind was in turmoil.
The main source of his agitation was the words Mu Yunchu had spoken to him in the morning.
He always suspected that someone was causing trouble for him.
Otherwise, the things happening these days simply couldn’t be explained.
But he had suspected everyone around him, even his brothers, except for his wife.
That was the woman who stayed by his side during his poorest days.
A virtuous woman who didn’t care about his lack of fame and money.
Over the years, even if they couldn’t be described as ’deeply in love,’ they were definitely ’supporting each other.’
But upon reflection, his wife indeed seemed a bit ’strange’ recently.
Could it really be her causing him harm?
That thought had occurred at least dozens of times in his mind.
Until the car arrived at the location, he gathered his thoughts and greeted Mu Yunchu.
The latter lightly nodded in response.
She then shifted her attention elsewhere.
As she raised her eyes, the surrounding green mountains undulated continuously, the terrain lively and full of vitality, just staying here made one feel cheerful.
Further ahead, a clear stream came into view, gurgling and making pleasant sounds.
Noticing her retracting her gaze, Luan Huacheng stepped forward.
"How is it? Have you found any problem?"
He couldn’t discern any emotion from Mu Yunchu’s face, making him somewhat uncertain.
"No."
Mu Yunchu gently shook her head.
The feng shui around here had no issues.
Not only were there no problems, she could even describe it as very good.
Though not comparable to those prime feng shui locations, it could at least ensure lasting blessings for future generations.
But this answer didn’t ease Luan Huacheng at all, instead, his brow furrowed even tighter.
They unanimously focused their gaze on the mound of earth behind them.
Luan Huacheng: !!!
Mu Yunchu suddenly squatted down, reaching to touch the earth at her feet.
"This grave has definitely been opened recently."
"The surrounding earth is clearly freshly turned."
Now, even if Luan Huacheng didn’t want to, he had no way out.
After solemnly apologizing in front of the grave, they opened it up.
Actually, it’s referred to as an ancestral grave, but it didn’t genuinely contain ancestral remains.
Nevertheless, their actions were somewhat irreverent.
So there had to be some rituals for peace of mind.
Having occupied a high position for a long time, not necessarily having people wait on his every need, but at least with someone driving him everywhere, he hadn’t done such labor-intensive work for a long while.
Afterward, he couldn’t even maintain basic ’composure,’ panting heavily with one hand on his waist.
He wanted to say something, but seeing Mu Yunchu’s expression suddenly turn serious, he instinctively stopped himself.
Had she discovered something?
Looking at where she was staring, he found her gaze fixed on a... bone?
Seeing her stare linger for a long time, Luan Huacheng sensed something was amiss.
He asked, "Is there something wrong with this bone?"
Mu Yunchu squinted her eyes.
Looking at the bone, it emanated an icy, chilling aura.
She spoke in a deep voice: "This is not an ordinary bone."
In her heart, she was pondering this person’s clever scheme.
If an ordinary person were to see this, they might truly be deceived.
After all, who would think there’s anything wrong with a bone found in a grave?
"Not an ordinary bone?" Luan Huacheng repeated.
He moved in closer.
But after looking closely up and down, he still couldn’t find what was wrong.
"The color of this bone is an unusual bluish-grey."
The surface is rough and uneven, covered with numerous pinhole-sized pockmarks.
Upon closer inspection, you could see faint wisps of black mist lingering, entwining around the bone, exuding a putrid aura.
Based on all these signs, Mu Yunchu had already found her answer.
"This is a Resentful Bone."
"Resentful Bone?"
"Yes." Mu Yunchu nodded, "You can understand it literally."
A bone filled with resentment.
"It can’t be formed by ordinary grievances. Extreme suffering before death is necessary."
The Resentful Bone is a highly yin object. Placing it in a feng shui site, like now in front of the ancestral grave, would cause severe disruption to the original energy field.
The resentment it emits would spread like black smoke, gradually tainting the surrounding positive energy, throwing the feng shui arrangement into chaos.
"And the influences you’ve been experiencing recently, are caused by this thing."
At this point, Luan Huacheng’s heart had sunk to rock bottom.
Not just because of what they discovered.
More importantly, besides himself, only his wife knew the location of this ancestral grave.
...
Although they had dealt with the Resentful Bone in the ancestral grave, Mu Yunchu still needed to visit his home.
She wanted to understand why the other party would choose such a method to harm Luan Huacheng.
As his wife, she was also influenced.
Thinking about this, she asked, "Has there been anything unusual about your wife recently?"
Luan Huacheng was first taken aback, then visibly embarrassed.
A barely noticeable blush appeared on his dark skin.
Even his eyes started nervously darting elsewhere.
