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

"He might really be insane, otherwise why would a normal person be so hysterical? Does he have bipolar disorder?"

"As people get older, they are more prone to mental problems, which we can understand..."

Those people took a lot of pictures of the old man and uploaded the clear images of his anger to the internet.

Shen Liangjiao felt extremely embarrassed and blushed as she came over to dissuade the grandfather.

"Grandpa, please stop making things worse. These people were allowed to come in and film, and there's nothing shady about this place. They left when they finished filming and found nothing strange. The more you stop them, the more they get into it. Grandpa, please just leave it alone, okay?"

Shen Liangjiao felt very embarrassed, so she called the grandfather's grandson and asked him to come and pick up the old man.

Grandpa Shen was trembling with anger: "You... what's wrong with young people these days? Don't you know how serious this is? They're not family, and coming here will bring them trouble! Aren't they afraid they can't handle the blessings here? If someone dies, you won't be able to explain yourself even if you have ten mouths!"

Shen Liangjiao rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Although she was willing to believe that her family ancestral hall had some efficacy, she didn't believe a word of what this elder said in such a mystical way.

As people get older, they start to talk nonsense. Honestly, can't they just stay home and behave themselves?
Li Zixuan keenly sensed the subtlety and stepped forward with a smile: "Old man, my family has actually studied some Feng Shui. I can see that this place has been nourished by a special Feng Shui arrangement. Shall we go over there and have a chat? I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

Li Zixuan was very polite. The old man felt embarrassed by being pointed at and talked about by so many people, and in his anger and embarrassment, it was best to have an excuse to leave.

The old man followed Li Zixuan out of the crowd. Li Zixuan turned around and told those people not to follow, or they would be in trouble.

The livestreamers were all incredibly envious.

This guy actually took the most controversial figure away; he's clearly trying to gain traffic! I can only blame myself for being too slow and not being able to grab that old man for an exclusive interview first!

The streamers were filled with regret, but they dared not follow—Shen Liangjiao had stopped them, and anyone who went to harass her would have their broadcasting privileges revoked.

In a secluded corner where no one was around, Li Zixuan pulled over two chairs and invited the old man to sit down.

“I’ll call you Grandpa Shen. When you built this ancestral hall, how exactly were things arranged? Who was in charge of the project? Do you remember?”

Li Zixuan inquired about the history of this ancestral hall.

The old man was well aware of this.

But he was also very cautious.

“This place was built more than a hundred years ago, I can’t remember the exact year. The person in charge of the project was a wealthy merchant from the family at the time. They hired a feng shui master to build the ancestral hall. After it was completed, our family’s fortunes did improve.”

As Grandpa Shen spoke, he took out a photograph.

This is a very old black and white photograph. The picture shows the person in charge of the project and the construction team taking a group photo at the entrance when the ancestral hall was first completed.

The person in the photo should be the key figure who facilitated the construction of this ancestral hall.

Li Zixuan took the photo and examined it closely. The young man in the photo was about twenty years old, wearing a long gown, with a dignified square face, exuding an air of integrity.

However, why does this person look a bit like Shen Liangjiao?

Upon closer inspection, the two do indeed share some similarities in their facial features.

Li Zixuan asked curiously, "Is this person Shen Liangjiao's ancestor?"

The old man nodded, put the photo back, and pointed to the person in the photo, saying, "He is Shen Liangjiao's ancestor. However, their family gradually dwindled, so the head of the household changed. What exactly do you want to ask these questions about?" After answering, the old man still stared at him warily.

I was afraid he might do something bad.

Li Zixuan felt quite helpless about this.

"I just want to learn about your local history. Besides, the feng shui layout of your ancestral hall may have been good a hundred years ago, but now, for some reason, the feng shui energy is somewhat disordered. If something happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle. I'm sure you understand this, which is why you want to drive those people away, right?"

Li Zixuan's words made the old man even more wary.

The old man said to him impatiently, "Nothing will happen here! As long as those people don't cause trouble, our ancestral hall will be perfectly safe. The feng shui formations of our ancestral hall will never backfire and harm anyone!"

Li Zixuan had a different opinion, but the old man was very stubborn and wouldn't listen to reason.

Li Zixuan stopped trying to persuade him and proposed cooperation under the pretext of ensuring everyone's safety.

"I'm keeping watch here mainly because I'm afraid something might really happen and innocent people would get hurt. I have to protect those ordinary people, so I'll stay here. As for you, sir, please keep an eye on things too, so that the ghosts and monsters here don't harm those ordinary people."

Grandpa Shen was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide with anger. He denied the claim, insisting that everything at the ancestral hall was normal. However, he eventually agreed to cooperate, and the two would keep an eye on the area together to ensure that any paranormal events could be dealt with promptly.

Night was gradually falling, but everyone could see that tonight was destined to be anything but peaceful.

As night fell, the crowd became even more excited, because they felt that something supernatural was bound to happen that night—after all, the atmosphere at night was much more eerie.

Lin Xiaoling sat on the steps and drank a can of coffee. The coffee was refreshing, and she felt less tired after drinking it.

She looked at the people searching around ahead and couldn't help but sigh.

It was just a routine matter, but they insisted on sending me here for an investigation and interview. I really don't know what my boss was thinking.

There's clearly nothing worth interviewing here.

Is it just because this place has high traffic and is trending that people come here to try and ride the wave?
As a journalist, the most important thing is to expose the dark side of society and restore the truth of events!
Unfortunately, the more I worked as a reporter, the more frustrated I became. No matter what I interviewed, I had to follow the instructions of my superiors.

Nowadays, journalists seem to have gradually become tools for generating traffic.

Lin Xiaoling felt terrible and wanted to leave this place if she could.

After observing the feng shui layout on the other side, Chen Anshui came over to this side to continue his inspection. Seeing Lin Xiaoling looking depressed, Chen Anshui was also puzzled.

What's wrong with you?

Chen Anshui asked her.

Lin Xiaoling shook her head. As a reporter, she subconsciously asked him if he had made any new discoveries.

Chen Anshui smiled and shook his head, then chatted with the reporter: "Judging from your expression, you don't seem to want to come here for an interview. Why is that? Do you think this kind of thing is boring and has no point in reporting it?"

Lin Xiaoling nodded, scratching her hair in frustration.

"I want to become a journalist who exposes the dark side of society; I want to do something more meaningful, but my job limits me, and this is all I can do." (End of Chapter)
