Chapter 436: Holding great power, covering the sky with one hand! (Subscribe!)
Time flies by.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

As dead bats were fished out of nearly half of the wells in Renjia Village, the villagers began to panic.

The villagers began to discuss whether there was some wizard secretly dealing with them, and some villagers even said that the reopening of the church had destroyed the feng shui of their village.

The villagers were talking about it, but Uncle Jiu and Zhao Zheng didn't pay much attention to it. After checking on the sick villagers, they followed the villagers' lead to visit the homes of those villagers who were unable to get out of bed due to illness.

"Uncle Nine!"

The white-haired old man lying on the bed saw Uncle Jiu coming, stood up with a start, and said in a daze.

No, he just had a headache. Why did Uncle Jiu come here? As everyone knows, Uncle Jiu’s job is to catch ghosts.

The more he thought about it, the paler the old man's face became. He pinched himself subconsciously and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he could still feel the pain. However, before he could fully relax, he became nervous again because he thought of monsters and ghosts, and looked scared.

"Uncle Jiu, is there a ghost in my house?"

The villager who led the way couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, Boss, you're fine. Don't forget that Uncle Jiu also knows medicine. Uncle Jiu came here to check you..."

"oh oh……"

The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. Uncle Jiu shook his head and laughed, saying don't worry, it's okay, and went forward to check on him.

So, after checking the sick people in the village and confirming that most of the sick villagers only had minor illnesses such as headaches and diarrhea, and even if they were more serious, they only needed a few doses of medicine. Uncle Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, Master, it's okay!"

Zhao Zheng walked out of the villager's house and looked at the unresponsive plague beads in his hand. After making sure that the bats would not bring anything else, he put them away and came to Uncle Jiu and said.

Uncle Jiu nodded when he heard this. Listening to the villagers' discussions in the distance, he frowned and said, "But why did these bat corpses appear in the village's well..."

He could understand that it was accidental if one or two wells had problems, but right now, at least 30% of the water sources in the village were polluted. This was neither normal nor reasonable.

As for what the villagers said about a wizard secretly casting spells to harm people, he had checked the bodies of the bats, but he did not find any traces of magic.

"The reason... is in the west!"

Zhao Zheng took a look at the hexagram represented by the three dollars in his hand and spoke. Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu looked towards the west of the village.

Then he frowned and looked at Zhao Zheng. To the west of Renjia Village, besides the mountain, there was a church behind the mountain, which was also the monastery where the nuns lived. So, the bats belonged to the church? !
Um, or rather, bats nest in the church! ?

"Yes, in the church!"

"..."

"Huh? What do you mean I feel in the church? Master, please don't slander me. Do I need to make excuses if I want to cause trouble for the church?"

“That’s true…”

Uncle Jiu nodded subconsciously, and then stopped when his face turned dark. He looked at Zhao Zheng who was reading his face with some kind of psychology. Zhao Zheng looked up at the sky and retreated silently.

"…Is the bat nest really in the church?"

Looking at the villagers not far away, Uncle Jiu resisted the urge to beat this kid for a long time before he opened his mouth and asked, and Zhao Zheng nodded.

"That's what the hexagram says!"

As he said this, Zhao Zheng added in his mind that this is how the plot is played out. Of course, he only said this in his mind.

After all, he was not quite sure about the strength of the vampire, and the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. What if it caused a big change in the plot?

"Oh……"

"Ok?"

"Ok!"

"..."

Zhao Zheng kept silent and lowered his head, not looking at his uncle who started to calculate. After his uncle finished calculating, he looked at Zhao Zheng unexpectedly.

"Hey, the bat nest is actually in the church!"

"..."

"Ahem, let's go and see Qiu Sheng's literary talent!"

Uncle Jiu's face turned slightly red as he walked ahead. Zhao Zheng followed with an expressionless face, feeling that Uncle Jiu thought too badly of him.

It was just five nuns, did he need to go to so much trouble? If he really wanted to deal with them, he wouldn't even need to make an excuse.

The two went to look for Qiu Sheng and Wencai, but before they saw Qiu Sheng and Wencai, Uncle Jiu was called by the village chief to calm people down.

There was no way out. The villagers were frightened by the dead bats in the well and urgently needed comfort from an authority figure.

In fact, Zhao Zheng felt that if Uncle Jiu didn't go, the church would most likely be demolished under the villagers' fearful initiative.

Of course, it is very likely that it cannot be demolished for various reasons, such as rain. That is why he chose to build the water plant at this time.

After all, because of him, Renjia Village no longer has to rely on the village’s river and stream water for daily water.

Since there is no need for stream water, there will naturally be no situation in the original novel where Yimei Taoist needs to find a new water source because the source of the stream is polluted.

So, he had to find something to do, which is why he built the water plant at this time.

One is to deal with the plot,
Second, it is controllable.

What is controllable and knowable is far better than the unknown and out of control. Also, he doesn't know to what extent the plot will develop if allowed to develop on its own. What if the plot goes beyond the outline and Count Dracula shows up?

"Hmm? It seems I'm not afraid of Dracula either!"

Thinking about the performance of the vampire Dracula, Zhao Zheng touched his chin, compared it, and found that he was indeed not afraid. He asked the villagers where Qiu Sheng and Wencai were now, and then began to check for any deficiencies in the two.

Just when he thought that the two had changed their nature, he discovered that some of the wells had no traces of the talismans for purifying heaven and earth thrown into them.

"Well, you still haven't changed!"

Zhao Zheng threw a talisman for purifying heaven and earth into the well. After the missing parts were repaired, he walked towards the house where Qiu Sheng and Wencai's voices came from.

Inside the house.

"Oh, no, no, it's just a few amulets, how can I accept money for them? If my master finds out..."

Seeing the money forced upon him by the villagers, Qiu Sheng quickly waved his hands and backed away, but he was extremely slow in doing so, which made Wen Cai roll his eyes. The villagers acted as if they understood and said they would not tell Uncle Jiu.

"This... is not something that can be discussed..."

Qiu Sheng looked at the villagers stuffing money into his pocket with an embarrassed and helpless look on his face, and skillfully reached for the shoulder bag on his back.

"Oh, no more. Wencai, give this big brother some of the amulets you brought with you. Um, give him some of the ones that Master drew by hand..."

Qiu Sheng said this without raising his head. As he was speaking, he found a big hand grabbing the villager's hand that was stuffing money into his pocket, which made him stunned and he looked up.

"Wen... Junior Master... Junior Brother..."

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Zheng chuckled, took out a few amulets and handed them to the villagers, then waved his hand. Seeing this, the villagers immediately ran into the house and closed the door.

Qiu Sheng's eyes widened, and then he smiled at Zhao Zheng and said, "Junior brother, I don't blame you for this. Bah, it's not my fault. They insisted on buying a few amulets..."

"them?"

"..."

Okay, that’s it!

Qiu Sheng's face fell and he glared at Wencai who was lowering his head, as if to ask why he didn't tell me that his junior brother was coming.

Wencai lowered his head and dared not look up when Qiu Sheng looked at him. He had no choice. He could not afford to offend either Qiu Sheng or Zhao Zheng.

Hmm? Wait, that's not right! I'm obviously the eldest senior brother, why am I acting like a grandson in front of them! Wencai raised his head with his eyes wide open, then lowered it again.
never mind,

Don't bother with the younger brothers!!

"Okay, give their money back."

Zhao Zheng looked at Qiu Sheng speechlessly. Seeing Qiu Sheng nod pitifully, he reluctantly took out a five-dollar silver note from his arms and handed it to Qiu Sheng.

"Here, here you go. Tell me if you need money next time!"

"Thank you...thank you, Junior Brother..."

Qiu Sheng immediately took it with a smile on his face. Wencai immediately looked up at Zhao Zheng anxiously, and Zhao Zheng rolled his eyes.

"Each of you two, half!"

"Thank you, junior brother!"

"Okay, go and return the money, and don't do this again, or else the master will find out and you two will get beaten up again!"

Zhao Zheng spoke, looking at his two senior brothers who nodded and went to return the money, he shook his head helplessly, threw out a talisman for purifying heaven and earth into the well in the yard, and began to think about asking Uncle Jiu to increase the pocket money of Qiu Sheng and the others.

But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.
Well, it's too difficult.

It is better to let his two senior brothers continue to be "poor". Of course, if you are serious, Qiu Sheng and Wencai are not poor.

Especially Qiu Sheng. He had pocket money from his uncle Jiu in his left hand and from his aunt in his right hand. He had double pocket money. However, although the pocket money was a lot, it couldn't stop Qiu Sheng from spending it lavishly.

"Oh, it seems that Qiu Sheng and Wencai's lavish spending is partly due to me..." Zhao Zheng thought about it.

Then he decided to find an opportunity to let the two of them suffer a little... Forget it, he could afford it. Let alone Qiu Sheng and Wencai, he could even afford to support a hundred pairs of Qiu Shengs and Wencais.

"It's better to just let it go..."

Zhao Zheng thought silently, after all, people's 'ignorance' is ultimately due to too little experience and lack of experience. When Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai have enough experience, they will naturally become sensible, and similar things will not happen again.

After finishing his thoughts, the talisman paper successfully turned into ashes and sank into the bottom of the well, completing the purification of the water source. Zhao Zheng waved to the villagers who were peeking in from the house.

"Master Zheng..."

"You can ask the villagers to drain the water from the wells, and then come back to me!" After Zhao Zheng said this, he left the house and continued to use talisman paper to clean the wells that had been emptied.

time flies,

More than two hours later,
It was almost noon when the wells in Renjia Village were finally cleaned. After cleaning them twice with two rolls of talisman paper for purifying heaven and earth, Uncle Jiu and Zhao Zheng checked again to make sure that there was no problem with the water sources of the wells in the village. Only then did they let the villagers cover them with cement well covers made of cement.

In front of the village chief’s house.

"well done……"

Ren Fa praised Ah Wei appropriately, which cheered Ah Wei up. He laughed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, cousin-in-law!"

"Well, don't go back later. Take them to the village for dinner!" Ren Fa pointed to the large round tables set up in the streets and alleys and instructed, and Awei nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, cousin!"

"Oh, by the way, don't rush back after dinner. We will need your help with the water plant and the search for the bat nest!"

"Yes, yes, yes, well, uncle-in-law, when the water plant is built, will it need employees? I have several relatives in my hometown..." Awei rubbed his hands with a chuckle.

"Okay, got it. Bring them over after it's built. Well, find some honest ones, not like those ones..."

Ren Fa looked at A Wei helplessly, and then frowned at the relatives in the security team who were brought by A Wei. A Wei smiled awkwardly and was touched as he hugged Ren Fa: "Wow, uncle-in-law, you are so good to me!"

"……release!"

"Uncle-in-law, I love you so much..."

“…Let me go!”

"Oh……"

"Okay, take them to find a location!"

Ren Fa looked at A Wei, who was pretending to be pitiful, with an irritated and helpless look on his face. When he saw Zhao Zheng, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Azheng..."

"..."

really,

I'm just showing off!
Seeing Ren Fa's attitude suddenly change, A Wei sighed in his heart, but when he saw Zhao Zheng looking at him, he immediately smiled, stretched out his hand and greeted him.

"Cousin, you are done."

"Well, why don't you see your cousin?"

Zhao Zheng looked around curiously. The cousin he was talking about was Awei's cousin Aru. Awei's face fell when he heard that, and then immediately returned to an unnatural smile.

"She, she's not feeling well today!"

"Oh..."×2
"Hehe, uncle and cousin, you guys chat, I'll take them to find a seat!" Looking at the uncle and nephew who seemed to see through him, Awei felt like an outsider and quickly found an excuse to leave this place that made him feel uncomfortable.

After A Wei left, Zhao Zheng and Ren Fa smiled at each other. Ren Fa even laughed and said, "I guess they had a conflict!"

"Well, nine times out of ten!"

"But this Xiaoru...is not as good as Tingting!"

"really!"

Zhao Zheng nodded in agreement. Compared to his cousin Aru, who was played by Zhe Gu, Ren Tingting was simply too great. She completely crushed Aru, both in figure and conversation.

Ren Fa raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, and said to Zhao Zheng with a smile: "Ah Zheng, you look like you are already an adult. Ah Wei has found his cousin, isn't it time for you to..."

"Hey, my master is calling me!"

"..."

I think this thing wants to be beaten!

Ren Fa's face instantly turned serious as he looked at Zhao Zheng who walked into the village chief's house. He sighed helplessly in his heart, and said that his children and grandchildren would have their own blessings and follow him.

…………

After lunch,

In the afternoon, west of Renjia Village.

Uncle Jiu and his group, along with the village chief and others, began to search for the water source needed by the water plant along the mountain road next to the stream. Awei, on the other hand, led the security team and the young and strong men of Renjia Village to search for the "bat nest".

Originally, according to Ren Fa's idea, the village chief and others didn't have to follow them in looking for water, but the village chief and others expressed their love for climbing mountains, and Ren Fa could do nothing about it.

Uncle Jiu was walking while looking at the compass in his hand, and his face darkened when he saw Zhao Zheng standing beside him, who looked like he had no idea what he was thinking.

No, you're really not in a hurry at all, right?
Uncle Jiu looked at Zhao Zheng, who was not looking for water veins but was lost in thought about something. With a helpless look on his face, he looked at the compass in his hand and began to help find water veins. However, when he couldn't find any water veins, he was attracted by the Feng Shui of Renjia Village.

"what……"

"What's wrong? Uncle Jiu."

Ren Fa and others on the side spoke curiously. Uncle Jiu looked at Renjia Village at the foot of the mountain and the surrounding mountains and terrain with surprise, and shook his head.

"It's nothing. I just suddenly discovered that the Feng Shui of our village is particularly... good..." He paused and continued.

"The village is surrounded by... um..."

Uncle Jiu paused as he spoke and looked towards the mountain to the south of the village that seemed to be split in two. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Zheng who was still in the same state. He noticed that Ren Fa and the others were looking at him, and he couldn't help but sighed, "What a powerful person who can cover the sky with one hand..."

"Covering the sky with one hand?"

Ren Fa and others looked around curiously, and looked at Uncle Jiu like curious babies. Uncle Jiu pouted and pointed at the mountain to the south of the village that seemed to be divided into two.

"If I remember correctly, this mountain didn't look like this before. It must have changed recently!"

"This... yes, yes, it seems like it was not long ago, on the Double Ninth Festival, the rainstorm caused half of the mountain to collapse. I was scared to death at the time, but luckily it didn't slide down..." said an elder while looking at the mountain south of the village.

"That's right!"

Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "If there hadn't been that rain, the Feng Shui of Renjia Village... would be good, but only averagely good... that is, with a golden plate offering auspiciousness on the left, water pouring down the center hall on the right, a magnificent palace in front, and jade from Jingshan Mountain behind, which is just the right image for prosperity and wealth..."

Uncle Jiu was talking slowly, and Qiu Sheng, who was following behind him, curiously asked, "Master, what is Ding Cai Liang Wang?"

"I know this, it's just that there are more people and more money!"

Wencai's eyes lit up as he thought about it, causing Uncle Jiu to swallow back what he was about to say. He turned his head expressionlessly and looked at Wencai. Wencai's face turned bitter and he lowered his head.

Well, he said the wrong thing again!

Qiu Sheng lowered his head to hold back his laughter, and Ren Fa and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard it. They burst out laughing, and it was unknown who laughed out loud first, but for a moment, the team was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Only Wencai, who lowered his head, looked more and more bitter under Uncle Jiu's gaze and revealed a smile that was uglier than a smile.

Uncle Jiu glanced at everyone expressionlessly. When everyone stopped smiling, he flipped the compass in his hand and pointed to Renjia Village at the foot of the mountain.

"What I just said was about the past. Now, because of that rain, the feng shui of the village has changed. Look carefully at the mountains surrounding the village. Do they look like five fingers?" Uncle Jiu looked at everyone.

Ren Fa and others subconsciously compared them. Hey, they really look alike. Just when everyone was surprised, Uncle Jiu spoke again.

"If the Feng Shui formation was prosperous before the rain, then now, after this heavy rain, the village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, as if it is in control of the power. This is why I say it is a situation where one hand can cover the sky..."

Uncle Jiu paused after speaking, and after seeing that everyone was listening attentively, he pointed towards the surroundings of the village below and spoke softly.

"The current Feng Shui formation... well, the golden plate on the left is gone, but the auspiciousness is still there. It is just like the jade plate full of treasures, the gold hidden in the water, the front door lintel brings glory to the ancestors, and the back pillow is waiting to be hung high. It fits the momentum of holding great power and covering the sky with one hand... This Feng Shui is much better than before!"

After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Zhao Zheng who had come back to his senses. If he hadn't known that this feng shui formation was natural, he would have begun to suspect that Zhao Zheng had secretly come here to change it.

"Where, where..."

Ren Fa, the village chief and others smiled happily when they heard this. Uncle Jiu did not say anything, but just looked at Zhao Zheng.

"what happened?"

"No...it's okay!"

Uncle Jiu shook his head, thinking that the dragon veins a hundred miles away from Tengteng Town had been dragged to the Zhao family's ancestral land by Zhao Zheng's luck, he felt that the change in the feng shui of Renjia Village was not a big problem!
Huh? Wait!?
This...isn't it a big problem?!

Uncle Jiu's eyebrows jumped. He felt that since he accepted Zhao Zheng as his apprentice, he had become more and more abnormal!
Is this a big problem?!

Looking at Renjia Village below, Uncle Jiu was lost in thought. When did he start to feel that the problem was not serious?

It seemed like it was after Zhao Zheng became his apprentice, from Zhao Zheng’s talisman paper… The more he thought about it, the more expressionless Uncle Jiu’s face became.

Until, he once again felt his heart begin to feel uncomfortable. He said he was going to the bathroom and left the crowd.

An invisible shattering sound was heard...

When he was far away from everyone, Uncle Jiu raised his head slightly and subconsciously swallowed the blood in his throat. He swallowed it silently and looked at his skilled self...

click-

An invisible crisp sound rang out again. Uncle Jiu silently recited the Huangting Sutra, emptied his mind, and stopped thinking about the past.
