Chapter 31: The Yin House Raises Evil Spirits

While the young family was communicating, Chu Tai was also observing the house.

The overall house is quite luxurious. Most of the furniture is finely crafted, and some are newly made. Among ordinary people, this family is definitely wealthy. No wonder they were able to come up with fifty taels for a ritual.

Judging from the old men's complexion, speaking habits, and the loss of their physical vitality, they may have suffered some hardships in their early years, but overall their lives are still pretty good.

As for the woman lying on the bed, she had recovered well. Her foundation had not been damaged extra and she had even recovered a little. Her tired look was mostly due to mental illness.

Of course, at this moment she was holding her child with joy, listening to his weak breathing, her eyes red, and trying hard to hold back tears.

From time to time, the woman would hold the young man's hand and whisper, "Listen, he is exhaling, he is exhaling."

After listening to the young man's explanation, the two old men looked a little unhappy and wanted to ask several times, but when they saw the woman's expression, they fell silent again.

Chu Tai, who roughly saw the problem, asked, "Old man, did you build this house yourself? How old is it?"

"We built it ourselves, about a hundred years ago. My grandfather hired someone to build it. My father said that a lot of good materials were used. It's a pity that my grandfather passed away before the house was completed."

At this point, the old man looked a little sad. Chu Tai asked casually, "Did your grandfather plant the pomegranate tree in the front yard?"

"Yes, my grandfather planted this pomegranate tree because he hoped that my family would have many children and more blessings, but he never expected that each generation would be weaker than the previous one. When my father was alive, I had two older brothers, who said at the time that if there were three branches on this pomegranate tree, we would definitely have many branches in the future."

"As a result, after my father left, my two elder brothers also left, leaving no descendants behind. Now, I am the only one left, Banqiu."

After saying that, Mr. Ban also came to his senses and asked hesitantly, "Master, do you mean there is something wrong with my house?"

"There is a problem. Although the way of geography is nothing but yin and yang, the way of yin and yang hates loneliness the most, which is the so-called solitary yang cannot grow, and solitary yin cannot grow."

"But your house has the sun in the nest and the shade on the ridge, with bright shoulders on the top and dark wings on the bottom. These layouts are mostly used for tombs. Now the vitality of the whole yard depends entirely on the pomegranate tree in the middle, but combined with the other layouts, this pomegranate tree is like incense in the furnace..."

"According to common sense, a family living in such a Feng Shui arrangement should not last a hundred years, so it is also possible that I am short-sighted and have not seen the subtlety of it."

Chu Tai first pointed out several problems in the house and concluded: "But judging from your child's situation, there must be something wrong with the layout now. The key point should be here..."

Chu Tai walked to a well under the pomegranate tree, took out the Seven Yin Warming Banner, and gently waved it at the wellhead. Rushing water gushed out, first transparent, then gradually turned bright red like blood, and soon turned into a dark green color with red and green.

The well water quickly formed a layer in the yard, reflecting cold light under the sunlight.

The old couple Ban, who were hiding aside, were terrified. Ban Qiu, who heard the noise, ran out. He was hit by the cold air and his vision suddenly became blurred.

In his eyes, the well water that covered the yard was black and red, and it smelled fishy. There were also many flocs in the churning liquid that looked like animal organs and limbs, which scared him so much that he kept vomiting.

The woman who heard her husband's voice struggled to stand up while holding the child, but Banqiu scolded her: "Why did you get up? Go back! I'll come here..."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Tai shot out a golden light from his hand, breaking the evil spirit that had contaminated him and allowing him to clearly see the dark green liquid on the ground.

"Great Immortal, what happened to me?" Chu Tai explained to him as he drew out the evil spirit from the well: "Your family has lived here for a hundred years, and your aura is compatible with the evil spirit in the water. I was distracted just now and lost my mind."

Hearing this, Banqiu became furious: "So, this thing killed my wife?"

"Although we cannot confirm that it is the main cause, the evil spirit in the well water is indeed one of the reasons why your child's yin and yang are disordered."

Banqiu hurriedly said, "Great Immortal, can you help me destroy this evil spirit? I can offer you two hundred taels of silver."

"Five hundred taels!"

A mournful cry came from the bedroom. The woman leaned against the wall, looking at the well water, her eyes red. "As long as you can destroy this evil spirit, I am willing to pay another three hundred taels to make up the total reward of five hundred taels."

"You! Are you going to take your dowry?"

Banqiu couldn't help but speak, but was interrupted by the woman: "The child is gone, what do you need to leave for the dowry!"

The woman yelled at her husband for the first time since she met Chu Tai. Her excitement made the child in her arms cry softly. The woman was so scared that she hurriedly hugged him and coaxed him.

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Chu Tai flatly rejected Banqiu's request and said bluntly: "This evil spirit may seem like a disaster to you, but in essence it is the Yin energy of the earth veins, washed by water vapor, and suppressed by your family for a hundred years. After several polishings, it has become a climate."

"In my eyes, this is first-rate material. If you are willing to stay here and cooperate with me to fish out the evil spirits in the well water, I will not only help your family correct its feng shui, but also give you three hundred taels of silver."

"Take it, take it. Why should we keep this evil? We just want to live in peace."

Mr. Ban looked at the well water he had been drinking since he was a child, and he seemed to have aged a few years. With the help of Mrs. Ban, he returned to the house.

Banqiu also expressed the same idea and kept saying that he was willing to help.

Upon seeing this, Chu Tai leaped into the house, leaving the Seven Yin Evil-Removing Banner suspended above the well, drawing water from the well and continuing to hold on to the evil spirit.

"This evil spirit is cold and gloomy. Ordinary people will easily develop illnesses if they come into contact with it. You just stay here and prevent the evil spirit from invading."

After saying that, Chu Tai touched his waist with his left hand, and eight copper coins appeared between his fingers. He exerted force on his wrist, raised his hand and swung the coins. The copper coins hit the surrounding walls and fixed the positions of the eight trigrams. Then he took out a ball of red rope, placed it on his palm, and blew on it.

Stimulated by magic power, one end of the red rope immediately flew into the air, passed through the holes in the middle of the copper coins, and finally circled back in front of Chu Tai, with exactly one more section.

Chu Tai tied it up using the rope talisman method, asked Ban Qiu to stand in his position, asked him to hold the two ends of the red rope and press the knot, then took out the Taiyi Changming Lantern that had changed its appearance by magic and asked him to hold it, and taught him the spell.

"The sky protects me, the earth protects me, the twelve zodiac signs protect me, the spirit officials protect me. The year protects me, the month protects me, the day protects me, the hour protects me, layers of golden armor protect me. I obey the command of the Lord of Guarding Dao, please hurry up!"

While imparting the spell, Chu Tai separated a bit of his thoughts, which fell into the Taiyi Changming Lamp, and transformed into Wang Lingguan. When Banqiu chanted the spell, he dropped a bit of his magic power.
