If it weren't for Lu Fan wanting to come, he wouldn't have come to this damned place.
Not only was there no food, but the environment was also very poor, and more importantly, it was gloomy, making people tremble involuntarily.
Lu Fan ate peanuts and listened to music, appearing quite leisurely.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Fatty Chen quickly lit a candle. In these deep mountains and old forests, there was no electricity, so candles or oil lamps were usually used, making the place appear particularly dilapidated.
As the sky gradually deepened, looking at the demonic wind outside, Fatty Chen felt a chill.
Lu Fan's strength was extraordinary. He had just seen that Huang Da Xian's complexion was dark, and something was bound to happen tonight, which made him a little worried.
In such a remote and impoverished place, such incidents were most likely to occur.
"What are you thinking about over there?" Lu Fan glanced at him. "I said his complexion was dark, and he would encounter something, but it wasn't enough to cost him his life. To be a feng shui master, one cannot be an ordinary person!"
"Does Your Excellency mean that Huang Da Xian will be alright?" Fatty Chen quickly asked.
"He will likely suffer some injuries, but it shouldn't be too serious," Lu Fan waved his hand. "Tomorrow we have to go to Niutou Mountain to check your ancestral grave. You should get some sleep early! After all, your luck has been poor recently, which is not a good thing."
Fatty Chen quickly nodded and walked towards the house.
Although Grandpa Wang's house was bare, he had a few rooms. Each of them had one room, so it was not a problem.
Boss Chu came into the room and looked at the furnishings with a helpless expression. As a dignified boss, he had to live in a thatched hut, which was naturally difficult to get used to.
Especially when a cool breeze blew inside, making it feel gloomy, which made him feel a little scared.
Meanwhile, on Niutou Mountain, Huang Da Xian was walking through the forest with an oil lamp, drinking old wine and shouting, looking refreshed.
Within a ten-mile radius, he was the only one who dared to venture into Niutou Mountain alone at night. However, to go to the neighboring village, one had to pass through Niutou Mountain. He had often taken this road, and nothing had ever happened.
Perhaps it was because he had drunk too much, or his eyesight was failing, but as Huang Da Xian walked, he felt lost. No matter how he walked, he couldn't leave the original route.
He shook his head hard, and Huang Da Xian suddenly exclaimed, "Not good, I've encountered something unclean!"
After speaking, Huang Da Xian took out incense and bowed three times to the surroundings: "I, Huang, am a master of feng shui, and my destiny is bestowed by heaven. You demons and ghosts, do not block my path!"
As soon as his voice fell, a gust of demonic wind blew past. Huang Da Xian felt a chill down his spine, as if he were being held by something. He struggled but couldn't break free, and his face turned ashen.
When the next morning dawned, the village chickens began to crow. Lu Fan got up early, savoring the pastoral scenery.
Fatty Chen and the others also woke up one after another. They didn't seem to have rested well. In such an environment, they found it hard to endure.
"Your Excellency, you have such great spirits," Boss Chu said with a smile. "Even in this environment, you are still so full of vigor."
"It's good enough to have a bed to sleep in!" Lu Fan said directly. "When I was on the mountain before, I didn't even have a bed!"
"No bed?"
Boss Chu was slightly surprised, then quickly smiled. "He who endures hardship becomes a superior person. Your Excellency is truly a hero among men!"
Lu Fan paid no attention to such flattery and turned to Fatty Chen. "How about it, can we set off now?"
"Of course!" Fatty Chen nodded. "We're going to Niutou Mountain now."
As they just walked out of the room, Grandpa Wang rushed over from outside. "Tie Zhu! You can't go to Niutou Mountain today. Something big has happened there!"
"What's wrong, Grandpa Wang?" Fatty Chen quickly said. "What happened to Niutou Mountain again?"
"I don't know what happened, but after Huang Da Xian left last night, he returned from Niutou Mountain, and almost lost his life," Grandpa Wang said quickly. "Huang Da Xian almost fell off Niutou Mountain. If he hadn't been tripped by vines, his life would have been in danger."
"Grandpa Wang, you're always so jumpy," Boss Chu said with a smile. "I saw Huang Da Xian was just drunk, and he didn't see clearly while walking at night, so he almost fell, right?"
"If only it were that simple!" Grandpa Wang shook his head. "Huang Da Xian kept saying that someone was holding him. He was really scared. He is a famous feng shui master in the surrounding villages and would never talk nonsense."
"Could it be that what Your Excellency said has come true!" Fatty Chen muttered, looking at Lu Fan with even more respect.
"If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet," Lu Fan said with a faint smile. "Although his fate is strong, he walks at night all year round, and it's Niutou Mountain. Naturally, he can't avoid being entangled by unclean things."
"Young man, you are right," Grandpa Wang nodded. "Niutou Mountain has been very strange lately. Why don't you all not go up? As for the ancestral grave, let's wait for a while."
"Your Excellency is very busy. It's already a great honor that he could come here this time," Boss Chu said. "If Your Excellency leaves this time, he won't come again!"
Fatty Chen also nodded solemnly. "Don't worry, Grandpa Wang. With Your Excellency here, nothing will happen."
Seeing everyone's certainty, Grandpa Wang didn't say much more, but he greatly approved of Lu Fan.
If it weren't for Lu Fan's intervention last night, his wife would have already gone to the underworld. Just for this, he believed Lu Fan implicitly.
"I'm not very familiar with the terrain of Niutou Mountain. It seems we still have to go to Huang Da Xian's house," Lu Fan said directly. "He is the most famous feng shui master in the surrounding villages, so he must be familiar with the terrain of Niutou Mountain."
Fatty Chen nodded and led Lu Fan towards Huang Da Xian's house.
Not long after, Fatty Chen arrived under the eaves and called out to Huang Da Xian a few times, but there was no response. The group then broke in.
Huang Da Xian was lying on the bed, his condition very weak, with some festering on his face, as if he had been bitten by something.
Seeing Fatty Chen and the others arrive, he frowned.
"Huang Da Xian, are you alright?" Fatty Chen asked. "I heard you had an incident last night?"
"It's all that kid's jinx!" Huang Da Xian glanced at Lu Fan. "I've walked at night for so many years, and nothing has ever happened. It was only last night..."
At this point, Huang Da Xian's body trembled. He seemed extremely afraid of what happened last night, not even daring to speak loudly.
"What exactly happened last night?" Fatty Chen quickly said. "Huang Da Xian, tell me."
"Perhaps I drank too much and was a bit drunk," Huang Da Xian waved his hand. "I couldn't stand steady, so I almost fell!"
Fatty Chen clearly didn't believe him but didn't directly question him.
