My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Chen Anshui and Li Zixuan walked together, heading towards the ancestral hall.

When we arrived, it was already dusk, and the sun was about to set, but the area outside the ancestral hall was still bustling with activity.

The online celebrities who came to livestream were all incredibly excited, constantly talking about ghost adventures and seeing ghosts live. In short, the paranormal events happening at the ancestral hall were just a gimmick to attract viewers.

Chen Anshui gazed at those people from afar, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"With so many people gathered here, what if there really is an evil spirit causing trouble? We're bound to get yelled at then, right?"

Chen Anshui swallowed hard. If someone were to die, wouldn't that mean he hadn't completed the task Mr. Zhang had assigned him?

Wouldn't that make me look inferior to others?
Li Zixuan, on the other hand, remained relatively calm. He seemed to have been a capable Onmyoji in the past, so he was quite experienced in dealing with this situation.

"How about this, call Lao Zhang and ask him to contact the relevant departments and send someone to disperse these loiterers."

After saying that, he took out his phone and quickly dialed Lao Zhang's number.

"Old Zhang? This is Li Zixuan. We are investigating a paranormal event. Because the location is somewhat eerie, an uncontrollable accident may occur. We hope you can coordinate with the relevant local departments to send someone to evacuate the people at the scene."

Li Zixuan also mentioned the location of the incident and related news reports.

After hearing this, Lao Zhang immediately checked the news and realized the importance of the matter: "I'll call the relevant departments over there right away to communicate with them."

Not long after, Lao Zhang called back.

“I have already spoken with the local authorities, and they have agreed to send people to disperse the loiterers. However, it is a bit far away, and it will take about an hour to drive there. Please wait a bit.”

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he ended the call, but Li Zixuan felt increasingly uneasy.

"An hour? It will be completely dark by then, and the road conditions here aren't very good. Could it be that we'll be delayed again?" Li Zixuan looked at his companion with some skepticism.

Chen Anshui was at a loss for what to do, and could only point to the huge crowd in the ancestral hall and say, "I'll go into the ancestral hall first and see what's going on. If anything happens, it will be easier for us to control the situation on the spot."

The two walked towards the ancestral hall. Since they didn't bring any live-streaming equipment, the streamers glanced at them, assuming they were just ordinary passersby watching the spectacle.

Shen Liangjiao clearly recognized them and frowned as she asked, "What are you doing here?"

I once tried to chat up a handsome guy at the beach, thinking I'd struck gold, but it turned out he already had a girlfriend, and his friend witnessed the whole embarrassing thing.

Seeing these people again was incredibly awkward.

Shen Liangjiao said irritably, "You're not welcome here!"

Li Zixuan raised his hands in surrender: "Please forgive us, beautiful lady, we only came out of curiosity. As for what happens here, we will not interfere, you can rest assured."

“Yes, beautiful lady, we’re just ordinary people passing by. Let’s pretend we don’t know each other.” Chen Anshui pointed to the streamers who were filming or live-streaming, and said in a voice only they could hear, “You don’t want to bring up your past in front of these people, do you?” Shen Liangjiao gritted her teeth, rolled her eyes, and raised her voice, “Forget about unrelated passersby. Since you’re here, just do as you please. Remember not to damage anything here, or you’ll have to pay a hundredfold!”

After saying that, Shen Liangjiao turned and left to be interviewed by other anchors.

Chen Anshui said with certainty, "It seems this beautiful lady is quite angry because she failed to strike up a conversation with Mr. Zhang."

"How can I not be angry? If it were me, I would be angry too," Li Zixuan replied matter-of-factly.

The two chatted as they walked around the ancestral hall, observing it carefully.

This ancestral hall was built with great care. The main hall enshrines the ancestral tablets, and there are several side halls that enshrine the ancestors of various branches of the family. In short, the ancestral hall covers a large area and looks more like an ancient courtyard-style building.

As Li Zixuan walked up the steps, he observed the surrounding buildings and furnishings.

The steps had red thresholds, which were carved with some talismanic patterns. He crouched down to examine them closely.

Just then, a male livestreamer walked by and saw him squatting on the steps looking at the threshold. Curious, he went up to him and asked, "Hey, buddy, what are you looking at?"

Li Zixuan pointed to the patterns on the threshold and said, "My family used to be familiar with Yin-Yang Feng Shui. I've seen these patterns in an ancient book. They seem to be some kind of Feng Shui formation for attracting wealth and good fortune, but I'm not sure. They seem a little different."

Upon hearing that it was related to these mysterious things, the male anchor immediately became interested.

"Oh, so this threshold is quite intricate? Brother, do you see any tricks in it? What kind of person can usually make this kind of pattern?"

"Anyone who can carve such complex feng shui patterns must be an expert. But I don't know exactly who it is, haha..." Li Zixuan realized that he had been so engrossed in his observation that he had subconsciously answered these questions.

He smiled foolishly at the live stream camera and said, "Of course, that was just my personal opinion. I don't really understand these things."

The male anchor curled his lip upon hearing this—so he was just putting on an act.

Huh? The male anchor's eyes lit up: If this guy can fake it, then I can definitely do it too!
So the male anchor immediately put on a very serious expression and pretended to be studying the patterns carefully.

People who need to appear in front of the camera are usually good at putting on an act. For example, this male anchor put on a serious, research-oriented posture, and Li Zixuan actually thought he had some presence. So he asked curiously, "Have you also read related books? Do you know anything about this?"

The male anchor was secretly pleased; what he needed now was to have people supporting him. So he nodded with a serious expression: "Yes, actually, my family used to have similar feng shui manuals. I flipped through a bit when I was curious and have done some research on these feng shui patterns."

This guy clearly didn't know anything. If he had really studied it, the other person should have realized he was an expert when he instinctively answered the question.

This person doesn't even have basic common sense, how could he possibly understand Yin-Yang and Feng Shui?
I guess they're just putting on a show for the camera.

Li Zixuan inwardly scoffed, but outwardly didn't expose him—if he did, they would definitely argue. He was here to investigate, not to quarrel with anyone.

Lin Xiaoling led the cameraman over and saw the two of them examining the threshold. Curious, she asked in front of the camera:
"Have you discovered something interesting here? What are you doing?" Lin Xiaoling asked the cameraman to point the lens at what they were looking at. (End of Chapter)
