You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Wei Guochang said to Qin Ran, "Then I'll be frank. Recently, the government assigned a project to our Wei family, which is basically road construction and development."

"There is a village called Dendrobium Village under Pinghu Town. Ten years ago, all the people in this village moved away. It is an abandoned village."

"The government is planning to build roads, so this village will be demolished."

"But the village is unclean, there are dirty things in it, so the workers dare not start work. I specifically asked a master to take a look before."

"The master told me that he couldn't handle things in this village and told me to go and find another expert."

"Actually, this project has been shelved for more than a month, until I met you last night, so I would like to ask you to take action."

Qin Ran's expression turned somewhat strange after hearing this.

What Wei Guochang said just now reminded him of the time he accompanied Chu Qingcheng to the Hunter Tower Village for an inspection.

At the time, the village was filled with all sorts of miraculous stories.

In reality, someone is faking it.

"Are you sure there's something unclean going on, and not someone deliberately playing tricks to inflate the demolition compensation or something?"

Wei Guochang added, "I can guarantee that no one is deliberately playing tricks. That village has been abandoned for ten years, and the villagers have long since moved away, so there are no disputes about demolition compensation or anything like that."

"The reason the villagers moved away was because there were unclean things there."

Qin Ran nodded: "In that case, I'll go take a look for you."

Wei Guochang took out a check that he had prepared beforehand and handed it over, saying, "This is a token of my appreciation; please accept it."

Qin Ran took a look.

It was indeed a check for 100 million.

He didn't refuse and accepted it directly.

He had no reason not to accept the money he was paid to do.

Wei Guochang was not worried that Qin Ran would not get things done after taking the money.

He already knew Qin Ran's identity last night.

Through this incident, he became acquainted with Qin Ran.

This is a tremendous good thing for the Wei family.

After chatting for a while, Qin Ran left the Wei family.

He didn't go back, but went to the Tang Clan.

Upon learning of Qin Ran's arrival, Tang Da hurriedly came out to greet him: "Mr. Qin, you've arrived!"

"I asked you to investigate the whereabouts of Yama's Palace. Have you found out?"

"Not yet. I've already sent someone to investigate. Please give me a little more time," Tang Da said.

"Hurry up and let me know as soon as you find out their whereabouts."

"OK."

"Also, come with me somewhere this afternoon."

"Where?"

"Have you heard of this place called Dendrobium Village?" Qin Ran asked.

Tang Da frowned slightly: "Dendrobium Village, Pinghu Town?"

"right!"

"That's an abandoned village, it's been deserted for many years. What would you do there?"

Qin Ran said, "The Wei family in Xijing recently took on a project to demolish a village and develop it, but there are some unclean things in the village. They want me to take a look and resolve them while I'm at it."

"Actually, I've also heard that there are unclean things there. I've also heard that Dendrobium Village was once the territory of the Ma family, an exorcist family. I suspect that the so-called unclean things may be related to the Ma family," Tang Da said seriously.

"Go and see for yourself."

"Then please stay for lunch, and we'll go together this afternoon."

"it is good."

Tang Da instructed the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Lunch was sumptuous.

After lunch, Qin Ran and Tang Da headed to Dendrobium Village.

It took them more than an hour to reach their destination.

This place is very remote and far from the city.

Qin Ran and Tang Da got out of the car.

What came into view was an abandoned village.

Overgrown with weeds, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Qin Ran and Tang Da entered the village.

As time went on, both of them realized something was wrong.

"Mr. Qin, the yin energy here is so strong," Tang Da said to Qin Ran.

"I noticed it too. There is indeed something unclean here; it must be some kind of evil spirit."

Suddenly, a figure flashed past the two of them.

Qin Ran and Tang Da both turned around instinctively.

There was nothing behind him, nothing at all.

When the two turned around to face forward, a dark-skinned man was standing in front of them.

He was very tall, but very thin.

"This is not a place for you. You should leave immediately." The burly man looked at Qin Ran and Tang Da.

Qin Ran asked, "Who are you?"

"Who I am is none of your business, just hurry up and leave."

Qin Ran said, "We have a mission, we can't leave."

The burly man thought for a moment: "You were sent by the Wei family, weren't you?"

"Yes."

"The Wei family is really stubborn. I've already told them that this place can't be touched and to give up developing it, but they just won't listen and insist on finding someone to solve the problem. It's ridiculous!" The burly man was very annoyed.

Qin Ran continued, "This place has been abandoned for a long time. The government can't let it remain abandoned forever; it will definitely be developed."

"That's true, but some things are ordained by fate. If the Wei family dares to defy fate, they will definitely not have a good end." The burly man's expression instantly turned fierce.

Qin Ran chuckled.

Should we really make such a big deal out of this?

It's just demolishing an abandoned village.

They've even brought up going against the grain.

"Tell me first, who are you?" Qin Ran asked.

"My name is Ma Jisong, and I am the sixth-generation exorcist of the Ma family," Ma Jisong said with a proud expression.

Qin Ran and Tang Da exchanged a glance.

It seems Tang Da was right.

This place is indeed related to the Ma family.

Tang Da replied, "So you're the village guardian here."

"That's one way to understand it."

Qin Ran asked again, "What are you guarding, some evil thing?"

"right!"

"What is an evil entity?"

Ma Jisong sneered: "If you want to know, I can tell you, but you have to promise me that you will tell the Wei family what I said, and have them negotiate with the government to completely give up on developing this place. This village can be left to our Ma family to protect."

Qin Ran became increasingly curious.

It seems the Ma family has been staying here all along.

What exactly is here?

"Tell me first, what exactly are you guarding?"

Ma Jisong said with his hands behind his back, "This place was our Ma family's territory a hundred years ago. During the Qing Dynasty, a corpse demon appeared in the countryside. She harmed people and killed countless people. Later, our Ma family suppressed her here."

"There is a Demon-Suppressing Well here. The Corpse Demon is suppressed at the bottom of the well. Our Ma family's duty is to guard this place and prevent the Corpse Demon from escaping."

Qin Ran nodded slightly after hearing this.

So that's what happened.

Ma Jisong just said that the corpse demon appeared in the Qing Dynasty.

This means that it has been a hundred years since then.

The descendants of the Ma family have guarded this place for generations, which is truly admirable.

However, they also seem a bit foolish...

"Didn't you ever think about killing this corpse demon completely?" Qin Ran retorted.

"This corpse demon is highly skilled, and she has a thousand-year-old inner core inside her body, so she is impossible to kill. All we can do is guard this place and prevent her from escaping the Demon-Searching Well." Ma Jisong looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

Qin Ran crossed his arms and said, "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. I'll help you completely get rid of this corpse demon. This will be good for both you and the Wei family."

Ma Jisong was speechless after hearing this: "You really have no shame. I know who you are. You are nothing more than quacks that the Wei family found from outside."

"Don't even mention letting you kill that corpse demon. Just one glare from the corpse demon would scare you to death."

"I don't want to waste time with you. Let's leave now and tell the Wei family what I just said, and not to send anyone else over."

Qin Ran found it somewhat amusing.

The descendants of the Ma family regarded them as quack doctors.

If you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding.

"Ma Jisong, I regret to inform you that I am determined to handle this matter because I have taken money from the Wei family, so I must help them resolve the problem."

"I'll stick to what I said before: I'll kill the corpse demon. This is good for both you and the Wei family. You won't have to stay here guarding it anymore, and the Wei family can continue developing this area. It's a win-win situation."
