Sha qi? How could there be sha qi? Lu Fan couldn't help but feel a chill of dread and quickly took out the Heavenly Secrets Marvelous Words, searching through it carefully.
One sha, two sha... three sha... Lu Fan opened his perspective eyes and found three locations within the entire construction site that possessed malevolent sha energy. Looking down with his perspective eyes, he saw that beneath those three locations, there were buried infant corpses in jars. It was evident they were fetuses that had never seen the light of day.
This made Lu Fan even more alarmed. If he hadn't possessed such extraordinary eyes, he would have been set up without even knowing it.
Judging by the positions, it should be the Mother-Child Seven Sha Array, and three of the sha have already been set up. Fortunately, he took the time to come and check, otherwise, if the Mother-Child Seven Sha Array were completed, someone would surely die! Damn it! Who wants to mess with me? Is it the Divine Calculation Sect with such insidious methods?
In the Heavenly Secrets Marvelous Words, within the section on observing malevolent sha, the Mother-Child Seven Sha Array was described in detail as one of the most vicious and cruel methods. It uses one mother and six children, with all six children never seeing the light of day. The mother is turned into a human pig. Placed in the positions of three fierce and four malevolent sha, evil incantations are used to gather sha qi. Once formed,亡魂 (wang hun - spirits of the deceased) will appear every night.
"Damn it! What a vicious method!" A fierce glint flashed in Lu Fan's eyes. If the Mother-Child Seven Sha Array were completed, even if he survived, those around him would surely suffer. Who is it? I will definitely make them wish they were dead!
"Xiao Fan! What are you doing here?" Just then, Wang Yan walked over.
Lu Fan took a deep breath, calming his mind before turning around. "Sister Wang Yan, I came to check on the construction progress. Why are you here?"
"Xiao Fan!" Wang Yan looked around mysteriously before whispering, "Xiao Fan! Ru Yan has been in the provincial capital for several days, do you... want to... ah?"
"Yes! But I've been quite busy these past few days. After I finish, I'll go to the provincial capital to see her. And I'll bring Li Jingjing along to let her gain some experience in the provincial capital," Lu Fan said casually, his mind still occupied with the Mother-Child Seven Sha Array, not really taking Wang Yan's words seriously.
"You... how can you be so stupid! You have someone readily available at home, why go to the provincial capital?" Wang Yan glared at Lu Fan and said indignantly.
"Ah?..." Lu Fan suddenly understood what Wang Yan meant, and his heart fluttered. This woman was up to her old tricks again.
"Hehe! Sister! It's mainly because Ru Yan misses me too. I can't exactly tell her that I have someone readily available, so she doesn't need to miss me!" Lu Fan chuckled and said.
"Tch! Useless!" Wang Yan glared fiercely at Lu Fan, then suddenly said, "Then... Li Mantang contacted me, wanting to cooperate in animal husbandry and orchards. He also gave me a big red envelope and asked me to discuss it with you properly. I just want to know, you've taken that girl into the mountains many times... should I accept the red envelope or not?"
"Jingjing is a young lady, don't talk nonsense. Keep the red envelope. You decide how to cooperate. Also..." Lu Fan suddenly looked up at Wang Yan, his mind suddenly recalling the person hiding in the dark setting up the Mother-Child Seven Sha Array. If this person were to target those around him...
"Also, be careful not to interact with strangers. Starting tomorrow morning, you and Li Jingjing will come with me to practice martial arts," Lu Fan said to Wang Yan after some thought.
"Practice? Practice that Longevity Art? I'm practicing it very well now. I feel energetic every day and don't feel tired doing anything. However, there are some tasks I can't complete alone. I tried to find you, but you were too afraid. Idiot!" Wang Yan finished speaking, rolled her eyes beautifully at Lu Fan, and walked away, her hips swaying.
Ring ring ring... As soon as Wang Yan left, a phone call came in. Lu Fan saw it was Yan Menghan calling. He immediately knew that Chu Xiangwei must have told Yan Menghan about the villa construction.
"Lu Fan! I'll bring professional quality inspection personnel tomorrow. If there are any problems with the construction, don't worry, I'll definitely hold them responsible!" Yan Menghan said as soon as she answered the phone.
"Okay, Brother Yan! I understand!" Lu Fan hung up the phone. With the matter of the Mother-Child Seven Sha Array, he was even more worried about the safety of those around him and had no intention of dealing with the construction matters anymore. It would be good if Yan Menghan could come, after all, Yan Menghan was no ordinary person.
Returning home, Lu Fan found Mo Xiong. Mo Xiong had been staying in the back mountain because Lu Fan's parents were working in the greenhouses, and he could protect them here.
"Senior Mo! Do you know anyone reliable and skilled?" Lu Fan asked.
"Young Master Fan! Are you looking for guards?" Mo Xiong hurriedly asked.
"Yes! They must be reliable people with cultivation talent! Even if their skills are slightly lacking, it's okay, I can guide them to improve," Lu Fan said. Since experiencing the methods of the Divine Calculation Sect, Lu Fan felt he truly needed to expand his influence. Otherwise, when he wasn't around, wouldn't his family be in danger?
"Alright, I have a few confidantes from my time in the Lin family, I can introduce them. However, Young Master Fan! Can you... guide my cultivation? I've been at the Grandmaster realm for over ten years and have been unable to break through to the Great Grandmaster realm," Mo Xiong said, a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"Alright, cultivate your internal energy technique once!" Lu Fan said.
Mo Xiong immediately sat on the ground and began to cultivate. After completing one cycle, Mo Xiong looked at Lu Fan with anticipation.
"Cultivating techniques is a way to unblock the meridians throughout the body. However, your cultivation technique happens to bypass several key acupoints in the body. If these meridians are not unblocked, how can your realm progress? How about this, I will use golden needles to guide you, and you cultivate again," Lu Fan said with a slight shake of his head.
"Good! Good!" Mo Xiong was overjoyed and quickly began to cultivate again. Although he didn't know that Lu Fan's eyes could see the entire cultivation process, he trusted Lu Fan. To reach the Great Grandmaster realm at such a young age was something he had never seen in all his years.
Lu Fan took out golden needles and continuously guided Mo Xiong to cultivate according to his route. At the same time, he used the golden needles and his own true qi to help Mo Xiong unblock several major acupoints.
Mo Xiong's face immediately showed surprise and joy. Before he even finished cultivating, he could feel the changes happening in his body. The circulation of true qi within him seemed to have become smoother.
After circulating for one major cycle, Lu Fan told Mo Xiong to cultivate again on his own to consolidate. Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Lu Fan gave Mo Xiong a few instructions and then entered the mountain.
...
"Hey! Old fellow! Do you know anyone who can set up the Mother-Child Seven Sha Array?" Lu Fan called out inside the cave, sensing that the slovenly old Taoist was in another cave entrance.
"What? Mother-Child Seven Sha Array?" The slovenly old Taoist, who was sleeping, was so startled that he jumped up with a yelp.
