Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 698 Don’t be anxious

After the maid served tea, Gao Wenxuan couldn't wait to speak: "Master, since the last time you used your supernatural powers to dispel that evil spirit, the women in the manor have indeed gradually improved their complexion. But recently, my father has started to suffer from insomnia, palpitations, night sweats, and lethargy during the day. We have consulted many famous doctors, but his condition has not improved."

Young Master Gao paused for a moment, then looked at Tang Wan. Tang Wan nodded slightly, signaling Young Master Gao to continue.

Young Master Gao continued, "What's even stranger is that the servants in the mansion have been making frequent mistakes lately, and there have been more quarrels and disputes than before. Wenxuan has been thinking about it and can't eat or sleep, fearing... fearing that the mastermind behind it all is still up to no good, or that the evil spirit from last time was not completely eradicated and has... has come back again!"

His voice trembled slightly as he finished speaking.

Mr. Wan nodded emphatically, adding with a grave expression, "This situation is indeed unsettling."

Tang Wan listened quietly. She did not express her opinion immediately, but slowly took out the ancient compass from her sleeve (actually her spatial storage).

The compass needle trembled slightly.

"Young Master Gao, please don't be hasty." Tang Wan's voice was calm and powerful. "Whether it is true or not, we'll know at a glance. Please lead the way, Young Master Gao, and we'll start from where we were last time and carefully investigate again. If there are any evil spirits or newly set traps, they will have nowhere to hide."

Although Tang Wan said that, she believed that there were no evil spirits in the Gao residence.

This is merely to cater to what Young Master Gao wants.

As for what exactly it is, we still need to investigate carefully.

Gao Wenxuan perked up: "Alright! Master, please! Mr. Wan, please!"

He personally led the way, heading directly towards the location where the Blood Fiend had been discovered last time.

Boss Wan followed closely beside Tang Wan, his palms slightly sweaty, a little nervous. He hadn't come last time, but the waiter had mentioned the Gao family.

Holding a compass, Tang Wan walked steadily, her eyes sharp as an eagle, intently sensing the subtle changes in the surrounding aura.

Boss Wan followed closely by, barely daring to breathe, his palms slightly sweaty, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, as if some unclean thing might jump out of the shadows at any moment.

The closer one gets to the artificial hill, the more noticeable the magnetic needle in the compass became. The needle no longer pointed steadily north and south, but began to swing irregularly.

There was an extremely faint, almost imperceptible chill in the air.

This aura was completely different from the thick, piercing bloodthirsty yin energy of the last time. It was more concealed and viscous, like old, rotten wood soaked in water, carrying a dull, unsettling sense of oppression.

But most people can't perceive it.

Although most people wouldn't be able to sense it, Gao Wenxuan noticed Tang Wan's solemn expression and the unusual movement of the compass.

So Gao Wenxuan asked Tang Wan in a low voice, somewhat nervously, "Master? This?"

Tang Wan didn't answer immediately, but reassured him, "Don't be impatient! Wait for me!"

After saying this, Tang Wan gestured for them to stop, while she herself took a few more steps forward, stopping about three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in front of the artificial hill, carefully examining every inch of land and every stone around it. The traces of the previous breach had been carefully concealed, and the artificial hill looked no different from the other scenery in the garden.

However, Tang Wan "saw" something unusual—an extremely thin yet incredibly stubborn foul odor seeped out from the bottom of the artificial hill, spreading weakly like a spider web into the nearby underground water veins!
Her gaze shot like lightning to a seemingly ordinary crack at the base of the artificial hill. Ah, so that's it!
Tang Wan said in a serious voice, "Young Master Gao, Boss Wan, please step back."

The two did as instructed and took a few steps back.

Tang Wan stepped forward, but did not touch the gap directly.

She took out a jade talisman engraved with intricate talismans from her spatial storage. Tang Wan held the talisman in her left hand and drew a complex talisman with her right. After finishing, a golden light flashed and she quickly slapped it onto the jade talisman in her left hand.

The jade talisman instantly emitted a warm, golden halo. This halo was not dazzling, but it carried a pure, peaceful, and exorcising power.

She carefully placed the jade talisman on top of the gap.

The jade talisman's halo appeared as if it had encountered murky water, and its edges were quickly stained with a very thin layer of dark red stains!
At the same time, a chilling aura, even clearer than before and carrying a pungent, rotten smell, suddenly emanated from the air.

Then it was gone in a flash.

But all three people present felt it!
Even though Boss Wan had seen it all before, he was still taken aback and asked with a grim expression, "Master, this...this is...?"

Gao Wenxuan's face was deathly pale, and his body was trembling slightly. He said angrily, "As expected, there are still remnants! Those damned scoundrels!"

Tang Wan put away the jade talisman, looked at the faint red stain on the edge, her expression cold, and said to Boss Wan and Gao Wenxuan: "This is not a newly set array. After the Blood Fiend Core was destroyed last time, a wisp of fiend energy did not dissipate. Instead, it quietly seeped out along the earth's veins and water. It's like that poisonous root. Although it has been pulled out, the poison has already seeped into the soil and water."

Tang Wan looked at Gao Wenxuan, "Although this evil energy has been diluted and diffused, making it difficult to form a targeted 'blood evil' that harms people invisibly, its sinister nature remains unchanged. It is like a slow poison, silently affecting the energy field of this land."

She pointed to the artificial hill and then looked around at the surrounding flowers and plants: "Master Gao is the head of the household and is most affected by the overall atmosphere of the mansion. This foul air permeates the main residence, which is the first to be affected. Being disturbed by this foul air naturally leads to restlessness, insomnia, lethargy, and chronic illness. The servants in the mansion are in this oppressive atmosphere every day, and their restlessness and quarrels increase, all because of this foul air."

Gao Wenxuan suddenly realized, then felt a deep sense of lingering fear: "So that's how it is! Thank you for your explanation, Master! How can this foul air be completely removed? Do we have to dig up the artificial hill and the ground?"

The thought of undertaking such a large-scale construction project made Gao Wenxuan's face darken. They'd just finished digging, and now they had to dig again... sigh...

Tang Wan shook her head and replied, "There's no need for such a drastic measure. This foul air has already seeped into the earth's veins and waterways, like ink dripping into a pond. Forcibly digging it out will be ineffective and may even backfire. We need to proceed gradually."

Immediately afterwards, Tang Wan took out three more jade talismans from her spatial storage that were similar to the one from before, but the runes on them were slightly different, and these were more focused on purification and channeling.

This jade talisman is different from ordinary talismans; it is more effective and more suitable for absorbing this kind of foul energy that requires a gradual approach.

Tang Wan handed the four jade talismans to Gao Wenxuan and Boss Wan respectively, and then instructed Gao Wenxuan: "Gao Wenxuan, please have someone fetch a basin of the clearest well water or running water from each of the four directions of the mansion, in the east, west, south and north. Boss Wan, please assist me in placing the jade talismans in the water according to the directions I indicate."

Soon, a servant from the Gao household brought four basins of clean water.
