It was an entirely Yin Taiji Diagram.

Just as Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes showed surprise and doubt, a streak of red Spiritual Energy shot out, hitting the talisman paper. With a whoosh, the talisman paper was ignited by the Fire Element Spiritual Energy and turned to ashes in a moment.

Meanwhile, in a room of a breeding farm several miles away, a man in his sixties, dressed in a Tang suit, suddenly had a flush face and vomited a mouthful of blood...

He stared at the blood he had spit out on the ground, his face showing an expression of disbelief as he murmured, "Impossible, how could this be possible?"

...

Wang Xiaoqiang stared at the burning ashes in the box, feeling bewildered because at that moment he couldn't control the Spiritual Spring within his body, just like what had happened when he encountered the Wild Mountain Ginseng.

After snapping back to reality, Wang Xiaoqiang looked around and seeing no one, he quietly tucked the wooden box into his bosom, filled the dug-out hole with soil, and then covered it with grass again.

Then, with the wooden box in his possession, Wang Xiaoqiang left the site, drove to the River God Temple outside Sanmiao Village.

The Temple Official at the River God Temple, after having been rescued by Wang Xiaoqiang last time and saved from a life-threatening situation, had recovered his health over a period of time. His body seemed to be getting stronger, which he himself found strange. Of course, what was even more mysterious to him was that his rescuer was the young man Wang Xiaoqiang, who was not even twenty years old.

He knew his own body best. At that time, he was weak and close to death due to practicing the Qi Guiding Technique incorrectly. Given his frail condition, even if he had been taken to a hospital at that time, it was likely too late, but Wang Xiaoqiang had brought him back to life. Moreover, after his recovery, his body was even better than before.

All this indicated that Wang Xiaoqiang's abilities were extraordinary.

However, this Temple Official, a man who kept his own counsel, harbored his suspicions but did not share them with others. He thought about how a destitute youth, in less than two years, had accomplished such great deeds. Without some alien abilities, it would have been impossible.

When Wang Xiaoqiang arrived at the temple, it was the Noon Hour. The Temple Official was taking a nap, as he usually paid great attention to health preservation. In the scorching heat of summer, the benefits of a siesta were self-evident.

Wang Xiaoqiang found no sign of the Temple Official in the temple courtyard. Ordinarily, he would have left, but today's events had filled him with mystery, and he would feel restless until he understood. So, he called out in the courtyard, "Temple Official Grandpa..."

Despite being in his eighties, the Temple Official was neither blind nor deaf. Wang Xiaoqiang's call pulled him from his slumber, and glancing out the window to see his savior Wang Xiaoqiang, he immediately jumped out of bed and ran outside barefoot.

To see the Temple Official running out barefoot to meet him was both surprising and flattering for Wang Xiaoqiang. The Temple Official was known to be a lofty figure; he usually ignored not just common folk, but even officials who came to offer incense.

But Wang Xiaoqiang quickly remembered that he had once saved the old man's life.

"Little Qiang, you've come. I'm so sorry, I had just fallen asleep and didn't see you. Come in, come in to the house..." said the Temple Official warmly, ushering Wang Xiaoqiang inside.

Wang Xiaoqiang inquired about the Temple Official's health, "Grandpa, how's your health?"

"Ah, Little Qiang, I'm quite healthy. But all thanks to your help. If you hadn't saved me last time, forget about being healthy, I wouldn't even have my life," the Temple Official said with heartfelt gratitude.

"There's no need for formality, Grandpa," Wang Xiaoqiang waved his hand, took out a small wooden box from his bosom, and handed it to the Temple Official, "Grandpa, take a look at this..."

"This is..." The Temple Official held it in his hands, turned it over, and said, "This is used by Onmyoji for casting an Immobilization Talisman... Eh? Little Qiang, how did you come to possess this object..."

"Grandpa, it's like this..." Wang Xiaoqiang explained how Little Xu Xiaoya became possessed and how he dug up the object, but he didn't mention the part about the Five Elements Spirit Spring.

"Uh, this, this is a Feng Shui Bureau set by an Onmyoji..." The Temple Official said in surprise, "This, this is too cruel, isn't it? It's meant to ensure that neither people nor livestock can thrive in your factory!... Luckily, this Feng Shui Bureau is only set up in the factory area. If it had been set up in someone's home, it would have brought ruin and death to that family..."

The Temple Official exclaimed indignantly.

Upon hearing these words, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Grandpa, you said this is a what, a Feng Shui Bureau?"

"Exactly, this is a common trick used to destroy the Feng Shui of a property. According to your description, this wooden box contains a Nine Yin Fiend Talisman. The Nine Yin Fiend Talisman greatly affects the Yin and Yang balance of a property, blocks Yang Energy, and absorbs Yin Energy. It's somewhat manageable during the day, but at night, the whole house will be engulfed in Yin Energy. Staying in it is like being in an ancient tomb underground, and very soon one will be invaded by Yin Energy. Yin Energy invading the body harms not only one's health but also interferes with one's thinking, causing hallucinations..."

Now, Wang Xiaoqiang understood that Xu Xiaoya was not possessed nor had she encountered ghosts; instead, she had been affected by Yin Energy, leading to her hallucinations.

"Grandpa, are you saying that someone did this deliberately...?"

"Of course," the Temple Official said with conviction, "Little Qiang, you must have offended someone..."

"Offended someone? Grandpa, I've just come back from abroad and haven't made any enemies..." Wang Xiaoqiang looked innocent and bewildered.

"Then, it means someone is jealous of your business, or perhaps your property impacted someone else's interests. This person didn't dare to confront you openly, so they sought an Onmyoji to deal with you behind the scenes..." analyzed the Temple Official. He grew up in a Taoist temple and later took up this line of work. Having spent his life around all sorts of spiritual matters, Feng Shui death traps like this were common to him. Moreover, he could analyze the cause and effect of the trap based on its layout.

"Grandpa, you make sense, but this person attacks me from the shadows, and I don't even know who they are..."

"Hmm, to kill without a knife or gun, that's the brilliance of a Feng Shui death trap. Little Qiang, even if you knew who it was, what could you do? The police don't believe in this stuff. The police solve cases based on scientific and rational evidence, and Feng Shui Bureaus have no such foundation. So even if you reported the other party, they would remain out of reach of the law, and might even bite back at you..."

"So cunning, and so vicious..." Wang Xiaoqiang got up angrily.

"Grandpa, is it really impossible to find out who's behind this?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked, unwilling to give up.

"It's easy to say but hard to do. For someone like you, Little Qiang, you probably will never find out. But for me, I can immediately think of someone..." The Temple Official said, showing a face full of mystery and a bit of pride in his tone.

"Grandpa, can you tell me...?"

"I can. Our relationship being what it is, of course, I can tell you. Actually, nowadays, there aren't many people who can set up such a Feng Shui Bureau in the whole country. And to harm you, they wouldn't go far to find a Feng Shui master; they'd look for someone nearby. Around here, the only person who can set up such a Feng Shui Bureau is Chen Daonian."

"Chen Daonian..." Wang Xiaoqiang muttered, a name he had never heard before. "Where is he from?"

"You wouldn't know him, of course. Figures like him are well-known in the Feng Shui World, but in the secular world, they're almost like hermits. Even their own families do not know they possess such formidable skills..." The Temple Official said, "After all, sometimes they do things that are detrimental to others, which is not good for them or their families. Sometimes when their Feng Shui Bureau is broken, they might even suffer a backlash..."

"Hmm, Grandpa, I understand now. Someone paid Chen Daonian to set up the Bureau to target my factory..."

"Exactly, you just need to find the person who paid the money. As for Chen Daonian, Little Qiang, let me advise you, just take the loss silently. Don't provoke such a person. He can kill invisibly. There are talismans and Suppression Techniques even more dangerous than a Feng Shui Bureau, catching you completely off guard..." The Temple Official concluded, shaking his head and sighing.

Wang Xiaoqiang did not reply, but clenched his fists tightly! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
