Mu Yang pursed his lips, it wasn't the right timing for him to arrive, I haven't even finished asking yet!
Mingtu looked at the pitiful expression on Muyang's face, curled the corners of her mouth, and pulled Muyang into an embrace. "Let's go, we can talk while we walk."
Brother was momentarily stunned, unsure of what he had done wrong.
Mingtu had nothing much to say to anyone other than Muyang. After greeting the man and leading the way, she didn't say another word.
The man walked ahead, neither awkward nor hesitant. However, he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, so he suddenly struggled to control himself.
"My name is Li Da, and I am the eldest in our family. I also have a younger brother named Li Xiao."
Mu Yang chuckled. "I thought she would call me Li Er."
"My parents don't have much education. Originally, they wanted to name me Li Er, but they thought it sounded uneducated, so they named me Li Xiao instead."
"And what about your younger brother?" Mingtu suddenly interjected!
Li Da's emotions were a bit low as he mentioned his younger brother. "He has also become like that. It's all my fault, that's why I have been guarding him here. I want to protect my brother."
"Why don't you find someone who specializes in exorcism?" Mu Yang felt that Li Da could easily seek help instead of futilely staying here!
I've looked for it, but to no avail. I think it's because I haven't found the right person. After all, where there are experts, there will be swindlers in the world. Being someone like me with no connections, it's impossible to find an expert.
"Oh, don't be discouraged. He is really powerful and will definitely be able to save your younger brother," Mu Yang said, pointing his thumb towards Ming Tu. That sense of pride in his voice sounded like he was praising himself!
Mingtu sighed here. After this, life may not be as peaceful anymore. With a meddlesome little sweetheart by his side, he estimated that he would also become very busy!
Li Da's eyes instantly lit up. "Hmm, thanks to all of you. As long as I can save them, I'll be your loyal servant."
"There's no need for that. Hurry up and lead the way," Mingtu interrupted their conversation, not wanting Muyanghua to waste too much energy on others.
And Ming Tu successfully regained Mu Yang's attention. "Let's continue the previous topic, how are coffin nails used?"
There are many explanations. When entering the coffin, seven nails will be hammered in, but only half of them will be fixed, not all of them will be hammered in.
"Why? Can the coffin not be nailed shut?"
"It's to allow the departed soul of the deceased to go out. Once nailed, they can't get out anymore."
"What would happen then?"
Unable to be reincarnated. Generally, it is only those who have deep hatred and enmity that would do such a nail-closing thing. Therefore, the nails in the coffin can also restrain spirits, and they still have some taboos.
Mu Yang looked at Ming Tu with admiration, his eyes shining with stars. "You're amazing, you know so much."
"Your man is capable of much more than you think, but you only focus on this one aspect."
"Ah, you're so stingy. Do you know what you're best at?"
"What?"
Mu Yang looked proud and full of confidence. "You have obtained me, isn't that impressive?"
Mingtian was taken aback. He had known Muyang for hundreds of years, and it was rare to see Muyang act spoiled. Now that he had seen it, it felt really good. He could indulge him a bit and say, "Hmm, this really is the most impressive thing I can do."
Li Da remained silent throughout the journey, only speaking when they arrived at their destination. Li Da pointed at a large round pit ahead and said, "This is it. It used to be a graveyard."
Mingtuhuan looked around and indeed, it was a gathering place for Yin energy.
Mu Yang took a few steps forward, just a few steps, and it was noticeably colder than the previous place. However, this coldness was not the kind of chilliness felt on the skin, but rather a bone-chilling sensation that reached deep into one's heart. Even the wind blowing here seemed different from before, as if it carried a dampness that sent shivers down a person's spine.
Mu Yang naturally leaned against Ming Tu's body, and sure enough, Ming Tu's body temperature did not change at all.
"Mingtian, this place is too scary. Let's come back tomorrow morning."
In the morning, it's the same. The sun can never appear here!
"Why?"
"Take a closer look around you."
Mu Yang obediently looked around, even though he scrutinized the surroundings carefully, he still couldn't make sense of anything.
The place Li Da was pointing to has become a deep pit, surrounded by willow trees and a few large pears trees that drizzle with tiny droplets.
As Li Da mentioned, the pit was indeed filled with water. But if what Li Da said was true, shouldn't the water have dried up by now? The people in the town have all turned into walking corpses; it's impossible for them to still be thinking about filling the pit with water. So, who is constantly pouring water into the pit?
Mu Yang took a few more steps forward and noticed that the further he walked towards the center, the stronger the cold wind became. It seemed to be circling around a large pit, blowing in concentric circles. The leaves on the surrounding trees, however, remained motionless. Was this wind something only humans could feel? Or was it all just an illusion?
Mingtu noticed that Muyang's complexion wasn't very good. She walked over to Muyang's side, took his hand and rubbed it, then let out a deep breath.
Mu Yangli's Mingtu approached, and his body temperature had also risen significantly.
"Are you feeling better?"
Hmm, as you approached, the temperature in the surroundings rose.
"Li Da, come a bit closer to me. Your Jade Guanyin is no longer able to block it."
Li Da touched the jade Guanyin on his chest and walked over to Mingtu's side.
This is a standard Yin Gathering Pool, and here is the gathering place of Yin.
"Gathering Yin?" Mu Yang understood the literal meaning of the words as "gathering" and "yin energy," but what does it actually mean?
"It's just the literal meaning."
"But this place used to be fine, with beautiful scenery of clear mountains and flowing waters." Li Da meant that this place didn't look like this before, with the sun shining brightly and the mountains being so beautiful. It was a completely different scene."
"Take a look at the trees around you. Because this place used to be a cemetery, the entire perimeter is planted with willow trees, as well as several locust trees. These two types of trees are very yin in nature, which is why no other plants can survive here, while these two types of trees thrive and grow stronger."
Mu Yang didn't understand why there was anything strange about willow and locust trees. They were both very common.
"The willow tree is also known as the Soul Suppressing Tree, while the pagoda tree is known as the Ghost Tree. In the past, the presence of the sunlit willow trees only served to suppress the restless spirits, but the situation is different now."
Muyang carefully looked around. "What's different about this place? Is it because of the changes in the cemetery?"
Mingtu gently squeezed Muyang's palm. "Darling, you're really intelligent. It's because of the cemetery here. There are willow trees surrounding the area, with a large pit dug in the middle of the cemetery. It's filled with water, creating the effect of a Yin gathering pool. In addition, due to the excavation of graves, many of the unclaimed corpse remains have accumulated resentment. The heaviness of this grievance cannot be alleviated because of the suppression from the willow trees, thus forming a gathering place of Yin energy."
And when the body is buried in a purely yin place, yin energy surges in continuously, causing any living being with yang energy to be suppressed and killed by the gathered yin energy, which is why those animals and people become soulless.
Upon hearing this, Li Dayi became even more convinced in his heart, and any lingering doubts he had were completely swept away. "Does that gentleman know any way to crack it?"
