As soon as I entered the mountain, I could feel a desolate aura. Here, I couldn't feel the existence of life. The wild beasts in the mountains had long since fled without a trace. The chirping of birds that could be heard everywhere were nowhere to be heard. Hei Dou, who had come with me, entered the forest reluctantly. I could see the fear in her eyes.
Red Autumn flew high in the sky, but it always maintained a distance from Eight Horn Mountain. It was clear that the aura released by Eight Horn Mountain was something it was afraid of and hated.
I also felt a chill run down my spine. However, I quickly circulated my Origin Energy in my body, driving away the surrounding aura of death. I quickly ran to the top of the mountain. The trees in the forest had also withered. Some of the trees that were green all year round had already lost all their leaves, leaving only the branches. This situation was very scary. I knew that the situation here was very serious. I just hoped that this aura of death wouldn't spread to Eight Horn Village.
However, I knew that this was an extravagant hope. The reason why the death aura hadn't spread to Eight Corner Village yet was because the village's formation was still working. Once the formation's effect was completely gone, it would be too late. Once the formation was removed, Eight Horn Village would be destroyed.
Thinking of this, my footsteps couldn't help but quicken. In a few breaths, I was already halfway up the mountain. From here, I could see the entire Eight Horn Village. I looked towards Octagon Village. Sure enough, I discovered that the huge formation around Octagon Village had been destroyed. There were a few newly built houses, and there were a few huge gaps in the formation. The aura of suppression released by the formation was getting weaker and weaker.
I sighed and my heart turned cold. "This is troublesome."
It wasn't that there was no way. However, there was no difference. The methods I could think of couldn't be used in Eight Horn Village. For example, if I wanted to suppress the source of the aura of death on the main peak of Eight Horn Mountain, I had to restore the formation of Eight Horn Village. As long as the formation was functional again, I could immediately suppress the source of the aura of death. Although the aura of death in Eight Horn Mountain was dense, as long as there was no source, it would quickly dissipate. Eight Horn Mountain would quickly regain its vitality.
However, in order to restore the formation, I had to demolish the newly built houses. This wasn't an easy task. The foundations of these houses were all inspected by a Feng Shui master. The owners of these houses had probably spent their entire life savings. One could imagine the resistance they would face if they wanted to demolish these houses.
Not to mention others, even Thirteenth Uncle would not agree. Thirteenth Uncle's house was only built on the first floor. However, if they were to demolish his house now, it would be equivalent to taking his life.
"What should we do?" I couldn't think of a better idea. She walked down the mountain in a daze.
Grandpa and my sister were very nervous when they saw me coming home.
"Yang Yang, how's the situation?" Grandpa asked anxiously. Grandpa was naturally worried that there would be a big problem in this place where he had lived for decades.
My sister was also very concerned about this issue and looked at me with concern.
"It's terrible. The array formation in the village had been destroyed by the newly built houses. The effect of the formation is weakening. Right now, it can still barely suppress the death energy coming from the main peak of Eight Horn Mountain. However, after some time, it will be very difficult to suppress it. "I shook my head.
"Is there no other way?" The elder sister asked.
"There is a way. But my method doesn't work at all, "I said helplessly.
"Why?" The elder sister was naturally even more surprised.
"If we want to fix the array, we have to demolish the new houses. It was impossible to do that. There are quite a few of them. They spent their whole life's hard-earned money to build this house. It's impossible for them to give it up, "I explained.
"Is there no other way?" The elder sister asked.
I shook my head, "Maybe there is. But I don't know. "
"I'll go and talk to the villagers." Grandpa Su Rian didn't have much confidence in convincing the villagers. However, he naturally couldn't watch Eight Horn Village be destroyed because of these houses.
As expected, before grandpa could discuss with the villagers, he met with a rebuff from Thirteenth Uncle.
"How is that possible? I asked a Feng Shui master to look at the foundation of my house. How could there be a problem? Yang Yang, don't joke around. I spent my entire life's savings to build this house. Moreover, I'm not the only one in the village who built it. There are several families who built it. "
"Thirteenth Uncle, I can understand your feelings. However, what I said is true. If these houses aren't demolished and the array isn't restored, Eight Horn Village will become a land of death in the future. I believe that you know the situation in Eight Horn Mountain. All the animals in the mountain have escaped. Even the plants were dying in droves. If the array in Eight Horn Village completely disappears. Then our Eight Horn Village will also become a dead village. At that time, no matter how good the house is, it will become a haunted house, "I said anxiously.
"No matter what you say, I definitely won't let others demolish my house!" Thirteenth Uncle threw away the things in his hands and returned home.
The other families in the village who built new houses quickly heard the news and spread the word that anyone who wanted to demolish their houses would have to step over their corpses first. There was even one family who rushed to my courtyard and shouted loudly.
"Huang Jingyang, you are now a capable person! In the village, only your family can build western-style houses. Others built better houses than yours, and you want to demolish their houses, is that it? "The one who spoke was Ma Yushun's father, Ma Wanyi. Because of Ma Yushun's matter, the Ma family still held a grudge against me. They thought that it was me who forced their son to not return home.
"Ma Wanyi, don't push everything to Yang Yang. This matter really has nothing to do with Yang Yang. Yang Yang had already told me that this matter would definitely not be done. She can only watch as our Eight Horn Village is destroyed. However, I don't believe it, and I don't want Eight Horn Village to be destroyed like this. I'll go over and talk to your families. Our family did build a house, but our house was built on an old foundation. We didn't move the earth around the array. But it's different for your families. The size of the house is more than twice as big as before. You even moved the soil around the house … "Grandpa patiently explained to Ma Wanyi, but he was interrupted halfway by Ma Wanyi.
"You want my house to be demolished? Unless, unless your family also demolishes your house! No! Even if your family demolishes your house, I still won't be willing. The house that my family built was approved by the town and village. It is my family's legal property, we won't demolish it because of your family's superstitious words! I'll go to town now, and let the town's officials judge this. Your family is being superstitious and forcing us to demolish our house. Ma Wanyi turned around and walked towards the town.
Grandpa was anxious, he didn't think that his soft heart would cause me to be so passive.
"Wanyi, Wanyi. Don't, don't, you shouldn't go to town. Just pretend I didn't say anything. I was wrong. Our Yang Yang didn't do anything. If you want to blame someone, blame me. "
"It's too late! You spread rumors to the entire village, saying that you want to demolish the house that our families just built. You're clearly being superstitious, "Ma Wanyi said and walked towards Chang Shan without looking back.
"Aiya, it's all my fault for talking too much!" Grandpa was very annoyed.
"Grandpa, just let him do as he pleases. He can complain wherever he wants. I already said that he won't be able to get through to the people in the village. After the new year, you can come with us to the city. Those in Eight Horn Village who believe me can come with me to Jin City, I'll arrange a place for them to stay temporarily, they can go to Jin City to find work. I'll also think of a way to solve the children's school problems, "I also secretly made up my mind because of what Ma Wanyi and the other families did.
Thirteenth Uncle walked into our yard a bit embarrassedly, "Second Uncle, Yang Yang, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that this house used up my entire life savings. Now you want me to demolish it with just one sentence. How, how can I accept this? "
"Thirteenth Uncle, you don't understand the reasoning behind this, I don't blame you for not understanding. However, I'm not scaring you. If the formation isn't repaired, something will happen soon. However, since you don't want to demolish the house, I naturally won't force you. It's completely up to you. Furthermore, it's useless for just one or two families to agree. However, Thirteenth Uncle, I still want to give you a piece of advice, after the new year, bring your family outside. You won't need another month, you'll know that I'm not harming you, "I said seriously.
Ma Wanyi really did report this to the town. The town also took it seriously. Superstition was originally a small matter, but forcing the people to demolish their houses was not a small matter. The town's officials also took it seriously. If something big happened, they wouldn't be able to explain it to their superiors.
Coincidentally, when Ma Wanyi went to the town to report, Qiushan County's Deputy County Magistrate, Xia Wanxiao, happened to be in Changshan Town. I heard that Deputy County Magistrate Xia was so angry that she slammed the table. She was the Deputy County Magistrate in charge of culture and health. Since something like this happened in the county, she naturally felt embarrassed. She immediately said that she wanted to come to Eight Corner Village to see me. Since the Deputy County Magistrate wanted to come, the Party Secretary, Chen Rui, and the Town Mayor, Yang Qiang, naturally had to accompany them. They also had to show their attitude in front of the Deputy County Magistrate. They even called the Police Chief, Gu Xiaobai, and a few other policemen to accompany them. It was almost the new year, and something like this had happened. Their faces didn't look good.
Just as we were about to eat dinner, we heard someone shouting in the yard.
"Is Huang Jingyang home?" The person's voice sounded unfamiliar. I suspiciously walked to the door. Then, I saw Ma Wanyi bringing a large group of people to my yard. At first glance, I knew they didn't come with good intentions. There were even policemen among them.
"That's me," I answered calmly.
"You are Huang Jingyang?" The County Magistrate, Xia Wanxiao, looked at me suspiciously. Of course, I didn't know that the forty-something years old woman in front of me was the Deputy County Magistrate.
"That's me. What's the matter? "I said casually.
"Kid, don't talk nonsense. This is County Magistrate Xia, "Gu Xiaobai said sternly.
"She is * * * *, and I am also Huang Jingyang." My voice became louder, and there was a trace of displeasure in my words.
County Magistrate Xia looked at Ma Wanyi. She thought that this farmer had tricked her.
The Party Secretary, Chen Duan, immediately asked sternly, "Ma Wanyi. What happened? "
Ma Wanyi was startled. He quickly said, "It's him. It's him. Don't look at his young age. Since he was young, he has been playing tricks in the village. My son didn't dare to study in the village because of him, so he had to transfer to another school. I didn't think that he didn't hurt my family enough, and actually came up with another plan. He wants to tear down the house that was just built this year. It's not just my house, he wants to tear down all the new houses in the village. He can't stand other people's houses being better than his. "
When the village secretary, Huang Lisheng, heard the news, he hurried over.
"Misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding here," Huang Lisheng explained for me the moment he entered. "The house tearing down is actually a misunderstanding. It's all my fault. When Yangyang's grandpa came to my house to play this afternoon, he casually said that the houses in our village should have a plan like in the city. Otherwise, the houses in the village will be built by you, and I will build mine. Without a plan, it will definitely be a mess. I was just saying, how could there be a plan, unless we tear down all the new houses. I didn't think that Ma Wanyi and them heard it, and misunderstood. "
"Ai! County Magistrate Huang, you can't cover for feudal superstitions. Huang Jingyang was involved in feudal superstitions in the village, who in the village doesn't know about it? It's just that everyone is afraid of him, so they don't dare to stand up and say it. Guotang, Guotang, come and testify for me, "Ma Wanyi saw Thirteenth Uncle as if he saw his savior.
When Thirteenth Uncle heard Ma Wanyi call for him, he also furrowed his brows, but since he was being stared at by a large group of people, he could only brace himself and walk over. "Wanyi, what did you call me for?"
"Guotang, the people here are all leaders of the county and town. They are all here because of Huang Jingyang's feudal superstitions, and because he wants to tear down our houses. With them in charge, we don't have to be afraid of Huang Jingyang. Tell me, did Huang Jingyang say that the new houses we built are destroying the feng shui of Ba Jiao Village, and he wants us to tear them down? "Ma Wanyi asked.
Everyone's gaze turned towards Thirteenth Uncle.
Thirteenth Uncle shook his head, "Tear down the houses? Why would Huang Jingyang tear down my house? I am his Thirteenth Uncle. If that brat dares to tear down my house, I will definitely beat his ass. Ma Wanyi, I think you are getting worse and worse. You actually framed a child. Your brat used to call hooligans to beat up Yang Yang, but Yang Yang didn't do anything to your brat. I didn't expect you to hold a grudge, and even went to town to frame Yang Yang. Yang Yang is my nephew! If anyone dares to frame him, they will have to go through me first! "
Ma Wanyi immediately said exasperatedly, "You, you, Huang Guotang, you are also surnamed Huang. Your words can't be trusted. "
"Since you said that my words can't be trusted, then why did you come to me?" Thirteenth Uncle said unhappily.
