Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 100: Witchcraft

Fang Xu could only watch quietly at what these black-clad warriors were doing. He was also very curious about what these people were digging.
A half-meter-deep hole was soon dug out in the land in front of him.

Clang!
One of the warriors in black shoveled the pit, and the shovel in his hand seemed to hit something hard. He immediately dropped the shovel and cleaned the dirt in the pit with his bare hands, revealing a piece of ancient bluestone.

The bluestone is round in shape and is engraved with dense patterns. Twelve short wooden sticks are evenly inserted around it, making it look like the rudder of a ship. Next to the bluestone disc is an exquisite wooden box, in which is placed an exquisite little wooden man.

Seeing these things, Xu Liang walked over slowly, picked up the little wooden man, examined it for a moment, looked at Fang Xu and said, "If my guess is correct, the birth date and eight characters on it should be yours."

Fang Xu looked at the wooden man and frowned.

The birth date and time above are indeed his, but who buried this thing here?
When was it buried? What was the purpose?
He doesn't know any of this.

"Taibu, what is the function of this thing?" Li Xingchao asked.

Xu Liang leaned over to check the texture on the bluestone disc and slowly said, "Gathering luck..."

Hearing this, Ling Mu immediately waved his hand and prepared to have Fang Xu arrested.

Seeing this, Huang Qingzhou stood in front of Fang Xu and vowed to protect him.

"Wait a minute! Deputy Envoy Ling, wait a minute..." Xu Liang looked at Fang Xu and said, "When I saw you that day, I felt that you had a lot of luck."

"I think it should be related to this formation."

"Does anyone of your parents practice witchcraft?"

Fang Xu shook his head and said, "My parents were both ordinary people. They were only at the Bone Refining Stage before they died. They had never practiced witchcraft at all."

Hearing this, Xu Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Think about it again. The wooden figure enshrined in this formation is engraved with your birth date and it is also a formation for gathering luck. It must be that your loved ones hope to use this formation to gather luck for you."

Close relatives?

Fang Xu frowned. The closest people to him in this life were his grandfather and parents. As for his grandmother, she died of illness before he was born, so it was impossible for her to do these things.

Could it be grandpa?
But the impression I have of my grandfather is that he is just a carpenter and he doesn’t understand cultivation at all!
"Taibu, why waste your time talking to him? He dares to plot against the destiny of our Yu Kingdom. I must bring him back to Zhongzhou and hand him over to Your Majesty for punishment!" Ling Mu said in a cold voice.

"You dare!" Huang Qingzhou stopped Fang Xu with a narrowed gaze.

Although he was only at the ninth level of Martial Master, he was not afraid at all when facing Ling Mu, who had reached the fifth level of Martial Honor.

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."

Seeing the two men on the verge of a fight, Xu Liang quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Although this technique is a technique to gather luck, it is not meant to plunder the luck of our Yu State."

"Maple Forest Town is a Feng Shui treasure land. This technique can only gather the power of luck within a ten-mile radius. It is far from affecting the fate of the country."

"And this technique must have been in place for some time. If it could really affect the fate of the Yu Kingdom, it wouldn't have been discovered until now."

Hearing this, Ling Mu frowned slightly: "Taibu, isn't this the culprit that affects the country's destiny?"

Xu Liang shook his head and smiled: "It's just a small magic trick. Although it is quite exquisite, it is not enough to affect the country's destiny."

"I am just curious. There are people in the market who know the art of witchcraft. I am afraid they got it by chance."

Hearing him say this, Fang Xu felt relieved.

Li Xingchao on the side had a complicated expression.

He actually really hoped that the thing in front of him was the culprit that affected the fate of Dayu, so that his son's affairs would be over.

Now that Fang Xu's suspicion has been cleared, the Supervisory Department will certainly continue its investigation.

"Humph!"

"Even if this technique cannot affect the fate of the Yu Kingdom, it is still an evil way, and the witchcraft must be related to witches. This person must be arrested!"

Having said that, he wanted to take action again.

Xu Liang said angrily: "Deputy Envoy Ling, could you let me finish what I want to say before you decide?" Fang Xu was protected by Huang Qingzhou, an inner sect disciple of the Ascension Society. Ling Mu kept talking about arresting people. Once he made enemies with the Ascension Society, things would be troublesome.

Ling Mu took a step back in dismay, looked at Xu Liang and said, "Taibu, please speak."

Xu Liang sorted out his thoughts and said, "Witchcraft is a legacy from ancient times. It is a branch of Feng Shui secrets. It is not only practiced by witches. To be precise, I and several supervisors of the Imperial Observatory have practiced witchcraft."

"The witchcraft in Fang Xiaoyou's family is a branch of Feng Shui secrets, not a crooked way!"

Ling Mu was speechless after hearing this and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Friend Fang, I'm very sorry. Once this technique is discovered, it will be completely ineffective."

Maybe because he felt that Fang Xu's ancestors were from the same clan as himself, Xu Liang was very polite to him.

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said, "You are too polite, Senior. I just want to ask, if this witchcraft has been destroyed, will it have any impact on me?"

Feng Shui and fortune were too mysterious and he couldn't understand them.

Over the years, he didn't seem to feel that this witchcraft brought him much luck, and he had been living in poverty.

Now that the magic has been broken, he doesn't feel sad. He just hopes that it won't bring any bad impact to himself.

"Of course there is an impact. After you lose this skill, your luck and fortune will be affected in the future."

"But this kind of impact is not big, you don't have to take it to heart."

Although he said this, Xu Liang actually felt very guilty in his heart. With this witchcraft to help Fang Xu gather luck, it would make his future life much easier.

Now the spell has been broken...

"Since this is not my junior brother's problem, please go back." Huang Qingzhou said calmly.

After spending some time with Fang Xu, he liked Fang Xu's personality very much and had already regarded him as a friend in his heart.

Now, the Supervisory Council of the Yu Kingdom not only ruined Fang Xu's gathering technique, but also tried to capture him again and again. Huang Qingzhou could no longer tolerate it.

"Deputy Envoy Ling, let's retreat." Xu Liang said calmly.

The State of Yu cannot become enemies with the Shengxian Society, otherwise there will probably be more trouble in the future.

Ling Mu glanced at Fang Xu angrily, as if he was somewhat unwilling, but finally waved his hand and left the courtyard with his subordinates.

Li Xing looked at the father and son, then at Fang Xu in front of him, without saying a word, and turned and walked out.

"Friend Fang, you might as well think carefully about whether your relatives have taught you any Feng Shui techniques. I am ready to discuss this with you at any time."

The Feng Shui secret art has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and many of the unique secret arts have been lost. As for the Feng Shui art of gathering fortune in Fang Xu's family, Xu Liang had only seen it in ancient books, and he didn't know how to perform it specifically.

"Don't worry, senior. If I think of anything, I will let you know as soon as possible."

Xu Liang helped him out today, and he will remember this favor.

But up to now, he really didn't know who in his family had practiced this so-called witchcraft.

After seeing Xu Liang and the others off, Fang Xu looked at the mess in the yard. He silently picked up a shovel and buried all the things there, then rearranged the stone table.

Make the courtyard look no different from before.

"Fang Xu, there is a society for the ascension of witchcraft. If you are interested, you can go and study it when you enter the society." Huang Qingzhou said.

Fang Xu nodded, without saying anything more, and said directly: "Senior Brother Huang, let's go."

The scene just now made him realize once again that without strength, his fate depends on the faces of others.

Whoever has the bigger fist can stand up straight.
