Chapter 889 Legal Affairs
After the ritual, Grandma Li told Qi Tongwei that she had temporarily subdued the evil spirits in the old house, but in order to completely solve the problem, she still needed to find out the truth about the disappearance of that family.
Qi Tongwei began to ask around about what happened back then. He visited every old man in the village and finally got some clues from an old man who was nearly 100 years old. It turned out that the owner of that family had done something against the will of heaven and earth and offended a wizard in the village. In order to take revenge, the wizard cursed the family, causing the whole family to disappear mysteriously.
Qi Tongwei decided to follow this clue and found some ancient books about wizards and curses in the village library. After some research, he found that to break the curse, he needed to find a magical tool used by the wizard in the past - a mysterious jade pendant.
Qi Tongwei and a few brave villagers began to look for the jade pendant in the village. They searched every corner and finally found the jade pendant in an abandoned ancient tomb behind the village. When Qi Tongwei picked up the jade pendant, it suddenly emitted a strong light, and then a violent vibration came, and the ancient tomb began to collapse.
Qi Tongwei and others ran out desperately and finally escaped before the ancient tomb collapsed. They returned to the village with the jade pendant. When Grandma Li saw the jade pendant, her face became very complicated. She told Qi Tongwei that although this jade pendant was the key to breaking the curse, it also contained huge energy. If used improperly, it might bring greater disasters.
Just as Qi Tongwei and others were discussing how to use the jade pendant to break the curse, something even more terrifying happened in the village. One night, the villagers suddenly heard a violent knock on the door. When they opened the door, they found no one outside, only the word "death" written in blood.
Fear enveloped the entire village, and the villagers hid in their homes, not daring to go out. Qi Tongwei knew that he could no longer sit there and wait for death. He decided to go to the old house again at night and use the jade pendant to break the curse.
At night, the old house was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Qi Tongwei walked into the old house carefully with the jade pendant in his hand. When he came to the basement, he found that the coffin inside had been opened, and a figure with black smoke all over his body was slowly walking out of it.
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and held the jade pendant in front of his chest. The light from the jade pendant and the black smoke on the black shadow began to fight each other. For a moment, the basement was full of light and smoke. Qi Tongwei felt a huge pressure coming towards him, and he was almost unable to hold on.
At this time, other villagers in the village, led by Grandma Li, rushed to the old house. They saw Qi Tongwei fighting against the black shadow, and surrounded him to cheer him up. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the light emitted by the jade pendant became stronger and stronger, and finally the black shadow was completely dispelled.
As the shadow disappeared, the strange atmosphere in the old house gradually dissipated. Qi Tongwei and others successfully broke the curse, and the village returned to its former tranquility.
After this incident, Qi Tongwei realized more deeply that the power of unity is infinite. He continued to lead the villagers to develop the rural e-commerce live broadcast industry and rural tourism resort. With the joint efforts of everyone, the characteristic products of Xiangyang Village are sold all over the country through e-commerce platforms, and rural tourism is becoming more and more popular, attracting many tourists to visit.
The old house that was once full of weirdness has also been transformed into a folk museum, showing the history and culture of Xiangyang Village to tourists. Qi Tongwei stood in the village square, looking at the bustling and prosperous scene in front of him, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that there might be bumps in the road ahead, but as long as everyone is united, no difficulties can stop Xiangyang Village from moving forward.
On a quiet night, Qi Tongwei came to the river at the head of the village again. The moonlight sprinkled on the river, sparkling. He looked at the river, his heart full of longing for the future. Suddenly, he seemed to see the smiling faces of the villagers who had helped him emerge from the river, their eyes full of trust and support.
Qi Tongwei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a gratified smile. He knew very well that these smiles were his motivation to persevere and the source of strength for Xiangyang Village to keep moving forward.
However, just as Qi Tongwei was immersed in this beautiful fantasy, a gust of cold wind blew, and strange ripples appeared on the river surface. Those smiling faces disappeared in an instant, and were replaced by a dark vortex that seemed to swallow him up. Qi Tongwei was startled and suddenly came to his senses. He realized that there might be a new crisis hidden under the calm appearance.
The next morning, the sun still shone on Xiangyang Village, and the villagers started their day's work as usual. But Qi Tongwei noticed something strange. The village was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the villagers' faces were no longer relaxed. He found Lao Li, the most well-informed person in the village, and asked about the situation. Lao Li frowned and said worriedly: "Tongwei, there are a few strangers in the village recently. They are acting sneaky. Everyone is talking about it. I don't know what they are doing here."
Qi Tongwei's heart tightened, and he decided to investigate in person. At the village market, he found the strangers. They were wearing black suits and sunglasses, which was out of tune with the simple villagers in the village. Qi Tongwei approached quietly and heard them talking in a low voice. Although he couldn't hear the specific content clearly, the words "treasure" and "secret" aroused his vigilance.
At the same time, in a mysterious castle not far from Xiangyang Village, a mysterious organization is planning a shocking conspiracy. The leader of this organization is a mysterious figure named Earl of Dark Night. He is ambitious and wants to find the legendary mysterious treasure to gain the power to rule the world. The clues they got show that this treasure is inextricably linked to Xiangyang Village.
“That Xiangyang Village may seem ordinary, but it actually hides a huge secret. According to legend, a mysterious power is sealed underground there. If we can get it, we can control the entire world.” The Earl of Dark Night sat on the huge throne, his eyes revealing greed and madness.
"But, Lord Earl, I heard that the villagers of Xiangyang Village are united, and Qi Tongwei is very capable. How can we get the treasure?" one of the subordinates asked cautiously.
"Hmph, I have my own way. First, send a few of my men over to test their strength, and then find a way to stir up internal conflicts among them and let them kill each other. Once they are badly weakened, we will reap the benefits." The Earl of Dark Night sneered, as if everything was under his control.
