This person was Lin Xiao, a somewhat well-known contractor.
"Boss Lin, your daughter and wife are feeling better.
But I only treated their symptoms; if you want them to stop getting the same illness, then the root cause must be removed," I told him calmly.
Lin Xiao knelt on the ground with a thud: "Master, save me, please help me all the way!"
I can't stand to see a man kneel, so I helped him up: "It's not hard to remove the root cause. Grab a hoe, put on a mask, and follow me!"
Lin Xiao's villa was a bit far from the city, in the eastern suburbs.
Not far from the villa was a small hill, slightly taller than the house.
I led them around this low ridge and stopped at a spot directly facing the villa's window.
I silently recited a spiritual incantation, felt the source of the yin energy with my hand, and walked straight towards that spot.
There, a sharpened bamboo stick was pointing directly at Lin Xiao's daughter's room window.
"Boss Lin, dig around this bamboo stick!"
The pit wasn't deep. After a few swings of Lin Xiao's hoe, a foul smell erupted. My Uncle, Lin Xiao, and I immediately put on our masks.
After all the surrounding area was dug up, a recently deceased venomous snake was found buried in the pit, its mouth biting onto the bamboo stick.
In other words, the snake's mouth was pointing directly at Lin Xiao's daughter's room window.
By then, the snake's flesh had begun to rot, but I still discovered a wooden board beneath the dead snake.
I put on gloves and pried up the wooden board, revealing a portrait of an old man with the name Lin Shen written on it.
Lin Xiao was greatly astonished: "This portrait is of my father, and this name is also my father's.
Who is so malicious?"
"This portrait has a curse on it. It won't be difficult to find this person. If nothing unexpected happens, he will surely come to my door within a week," I said calmly.
"Good, I want to see who it is!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth.
"Let's talk about that later. First, dig up the spot aimed at your wife's house window!"
Hearing me say this, My Uncle and Lin Xiao immediately rushed to the spot I designated and started digging.
The findings here were the same as over there: a venomous snake biting a bamboo stick, aimed at Lin Xiao's wife's room window.
However, this wooden board had a portrait of Lin Xiao on it, with the name Lin Xiao written.
Lin Xiao was puzzled. "This was meant to curse me, so why are my wife and child the victims?"
"The person set up a rare and malicious Feng Shui formation called the Double Dragon Fighting Tiger Formation.
The 'dragon' here actually refers to snakes; to put it plainly, it's Two Snakes Fighting a Tiger.
Because they are cursed dead snakes, the yin energy is immense.
If it were a Single Dragon Fighting Tiger Formation, the harm wouldn't be great.
But a Double Dragon Fighting Tiger Formation was set up, increasing its power tenfold.
Your grandfather was old, his yang energy was weak, and he was born in the year of the Tiger, so he quickly fell victim.
Your daughter's inherent nature is yin, and with external yin energy added, it wouldn't kill her, but excessive yin energy can weaken her internal yang energy, making her sickly all the time.
Similarly, this Feng Shui formation also caused the same outcome for your wife.
Your wife is seven months pregnant with a boy, and this is the Year of the Tiger. In two or three months, your child will be born, and strictly speaking, your child will be a Tiger.
Because your wife's yin energy is too strong, and snakes and tigers clash, it caused your child to be born prematurely and die young.
As for yourself, firstly, you are rarely at home; secondly, your yang energy is abundant; thirdly, your inherent nature is that of a Dragon, which is why you escaped this calamity, but you still couldn't avoid the pain of losing a child.
That person originally intended for you and your father to die, but instead, it took the lives of your father and your child."
"Master, save me, what should I do next?" Lin Xiao suddenly knelt before me, his teeth clenching audibly.
"Don't worry, remove your name, then place the dead snake with the bamboo in its mouth on this wooden board, and then bury it properly."
My Uncle and Lin Xiao immediately got to work, and I cast a counter-curse.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the person who cast the curse will surely suffer a backlash. Within a week, he will definitely come to My Uncle's shop.
Then you will know who wanted to harm your family!" I told Lin Xiao after they buried the yellow earth as I instructed.
"Let's go, Master, let's head back. Tonight, I'm treating. I must thank you two, uncle and nephew, properly!" Lin Xiao's heart felt much lighter after hearing what I said.
We followed Lin Xiao back to his villa.
During dinner, Lin Xiao continuously toasted us in gratitude, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
But halfway through the meal, I suddenly felt a chilling aura stealthily approaching.
My heart skipped a beat. I put down my bowl and chopsticks and looked out the window, seeing a black shadow flickering not far away.
"Not good, the person who cast the curse has arrived early, and they mean trouble," I whispered to My Uncle and Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao's face instantly turned pale, and he clenched his fists.
I channeled my spiritual energy, preparing for battle. I hadn't expected that person to come so quickly!
The black shadow drew closer, gradually revealing a human form—it was a hunched old man.
His eyes were sinister, he muttered incantations, and his hands continuously gestured.
With his movements, the surrounding air gradually grew cold, and a powerful yin energy rushed towards us.
I was fearless. I quickly recited a spiritual incantation, and a beam of light shot from my hand, meeting the yin energy.
The light and yin energy collided, making a violent sound, and the lights in the villa flickered erratically.
The moment we exchanged blows, that person suddenly disappeared.
"How are you, Little Dragon? Are you alright?
If something happened to you, your mother would eat me alive!" Seeing that I hadn't spoken, My Uncle thought I was injured and quickly hugged me, asking.
"I'm fine. That person was injured and fled!" I said calmly.
"Then what should we do? Are we losing the lead again?" Lin Xiao stamped his foot in frustration.
"It's fine. I cast a rootless curse. Even if he digs up both these places and exposes the corpses to the wilderness, he won't escape the backlash.
The backlash will get worse and worse. Within a week, he will definitely come to My Uncle's shop," I stated decisively.
These things, not to mention Lin Xiao couldn't understand them, even My Uncle, with his half-baked knowledge, couldn't comprehend them.
"Boss Lin, my nephew said you had two sons and a daughter, and one son died.
Do you still have two sons?" My Uncle suddenly remembered what I had said when Lin Xiao first met me.
"My two sons are twins. They are currently attending the same university.
They're even in the same class!" Lin Xiao said.
After hearing Lin Xiao's words, My Uncle felt both ashamed and angry.
He felt that he hadn't learned anything truly capable from My Grandfather.
My Grandfather had passed all the secrets on to me!
After the family dinner, My Uncle and I were ready to leave.
Lin Xiao saw us out, then handed me a red envelope and My Uncle another red envelope.
We accepted the red envelopes with a clear conscience, didn't ask how much they contained, bid farewell to Lin Xiao, and returned to the shop.
My Uncle opened his red envelope, saw it was only 888 yuan, and snorted.
Then he opened my red envelope, and was greatly astonished.
