Chapter 623: Prince Ding’s Tomb
Liu Xiangu actually took out the corpse of a weasel from her backpack.
"How could I not be angry when the descendants of Wong Tai Sin were murdered right near the village entrance? I've been a horse fairy for many years, so don't I know the temperaments of the household fairies?"
"If you don't respect the family spirit, you will suffer misfortune!"
Liu Xiangu spoke with such sincerity that everyone fell silent.
But Chen Yile stood up and put forward a different point of view.
"Liu Xiangu, I have a different opinion."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Chen Yile, as if waiting for him to say something profound.
Chen Yile continued, "Liu Xiangu, I know you have real abilities, and I'm willing to believe you, but we can't jump to conclusions based on superficial observations."
"I don't think your judgment is entirely wrong, but I believe that the consequences of the wrath of the family spirits should be minor incidents like things being lost in the village. The evil spirit possession incident has other reasons."
Liu Xiangu was not annoyed. She asked calmly, "What is the basis for your saying this?"
"Theoretically, Lingyang Village has been disrespecting the family spirits for over twenty years. So, how many times has evil spirit possession occurred in these twenty years?"
Chen Yile looked at the village chief, Wang Degen. Wang Degen thought for a moment and said, "It's just this once. It's never happened before."
Liu Xiangu snorted coldly, "The family immortals didn't use this method before, so why can't they use it now? Such a judgment is too arbitrary."
Seeing the two people arguing with each other, the people around them began to whisper. Some said that what Chen Yile said was more reasonable, while others said that what Liu Xiangu said also made sense.
But Chen Yile wasn't done yet. He was ready to intensify his efforts and get to the heart of the matter.
"Village Chief Wang, I'd like to ask, why is there a black stone tablet in the village ancestral hall? And where does the tunnel behind the tablet lead to?"
When these words were spoken, Wang Degen and several old men widened their eyes instantly and were so surprised that they were speechless for a moment.
"H-how did you know?"
"Village Chief Wang, you don't need to worry about how I know this. You just need to know that this may be crucial to resolving the evil spirit incident in Lingyang Village."
After Chen Yile finished speaking, he walked around the lobby with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for Wang Degen to make his own judgment.
Wang Degen fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Chen Yile continued to intensify his attack: "Village Chief Wang, the evil spirit possession incident has become increasingly apparent. Even your family was affected yesterday."
"If we delay any further, I'm afraid it will lead to even greater disaster. How long do you plan to keep the secret behind the stone tablet secret?"
After hearing this, Wang Degen finally made up his mind.
"Okay, everyone follow me, I'll tell you everything today!"
Everyone followed Wang Degen to the entrance of the ancestral hall, only to see that the door was tightly closed and a cold air slowly drifted out from the gap.
Wang Degen took out a bunch of keys from his arms, opened the door and entered the ancestral hall.
"Everyone, come in."
The first thing you see when you enter the door is the courtyard of the ancestral hall. There is nothing in the courtyard. A black stone tablet engraved with strange runes stands in the middle, which is very conspicuous.
Chen Yile walked around to the back of the stone tablet and took a look. Just as Li Zhi and the others had said, there was a wooden board covering something on the ground.
The northern part of the courtyard is the main house of the ancestral hall, where the ancestral tablets are stored.
Entering the main house of the ancestral hall, Chen Yile saw that the east, west and north walls were all filled with tablets, probably thousands in total.
Chen Yile scanned the entire ancestral hall with his spiritual eyes. There was nothing unusual about it, except for the tunnel entrance covered with wooden boards, which emitted bursts of yin energy.
Wang Degen saw everyone gathered, cleared his throat and said, "My fellow villagers, today I want to tell you a secret. This secret is related to the origin of Lingyang Village."
According to Wang Degen, a prince named King Ding is buried underground in Lingyang Village.
The entire Lingyang Village was originally formed by the keepers of King Ding’s tomb.
Prince Ding had offended the emperor during his lifetime, so after the emperor executed him, he ordered that he be buried in this place called Jiulong to suppress evil spirits.
Afterwards, he built the foundation of Lingyang Village on it according to the hexagram symbol to suppress evil spirits, and ordered his relatives to guard the tomb here for the rest of their lives. The position was passed down from generation to generation, and every generation was a tomb keeper.
In addition, many evil spirits, monsters and sinister mechanisms were set up in Prince Ding's tomb.
However, time passed and in modern times, the residents of Lingyang Village had forgotten all of this, and only the village chiefs of successive generations passed on this secret.
After hearing Wang Degen's words, everyone was shocked. The villagers didn't expect that the village where they had lived for half their lives had such a great background.
A villager asked, "So, the strange things that happen in our village all the time are because it's built on a huge tomb?"
Wang Degen nodded and agreed with this statement.
Chen Yile added, "This kind of tomb, built to suppress evil spirits, must have powerful restrictions at the entrance. However, no one has maintained it for thousands of years, and the restrictions have been ineffective for who knows how long."
"Therefore, the yin energy leaked out, and the evil spirits and monsters escaped, which led to the strange things happening in Lingyang Village for a long time."
Chen Yile turned and looked at Liu Xiangu: "Liu Xiangu, do you think so?"
Liu Xiangu glared at Wang Degen fiercely: "I didn't expect that Village Chief Wang would hide so many things from me."
She then said to Chen Yile, "Young man, you are indeed a good hand. I admire you!"
Everyone has reached a consensus on the root cause of the strange things happening in Lingyang Village, and the next question is how to solve it.
To solve this problem, we must solve the problem of the leakage of negative energy from Prince Ding’s tomb.
"Village Chief Wang, do you know where the entrance to King Ding's tomb is?"
"This is the secret passage. This stone tablet is used to suppress the evil spirits."
"Then Qingyao and I will go into Prince Ding's tomb and take a look, and finally resolve this matter for Lingyang Village."
Wang Degen hesitated for a moment: "Prince Ding's Tomb is a very dangerous place. If we go in rashly, something bad might happen."
Chen Yile patted Wang Degen on the shoulder.
"Old man, we are not ordinary people. Later, you can ask the young people in the village to teach you how to watch live broadcasts. Go to my live broadcast room to see my record."
Under the watchful eyes of Wang Degen and the villagers, Chen Yile and Lin Qingyao walked into the tunnel.
At the end of the tunnel, in front of the stone gate, the two men didn't know how to open the door.
"Qingyao, today I just want to try out how powerful Gan Jiang and Mo Ye can be."
Chen Yile told Lin Qingyao about the technique of practicing martial arts, and the two of them took Gan Jiang and Mo Ye and attacked together.
"Two swords combined, heart-to-heart slash!"
The two of them swung out a fierce sword strike together.
With a "clang" sound, a crack immediately appeared on the heavy stone door.
Then, the cracks gradually expanded until they spread all over the body like a spider web.
Finally, many cracks collapsed in an instant, and the stone gate fell to the ground with a loud bang.
A chilling air wafted out from Prince Ding's tomb, and Chen Yile and Lin Qingyao immediately felt a chill.
They used their cell phones to illuminate the inside of the tomb and found it was pitch black, with only some murals and stone statues visible.
