The forty-minute drive passed in the blink of an eye.

The car was parked at the foot of the mountain behind Zhoujia Village.

The Zhou family ancestral graves are located halfway up the back mountain, where the ancestors of the Zhou family have been buried for generations.

The mountain road was too narrow for vehicles to pass, so the three of them got out of the car and walked up the mountain.

The closer you get to the ancestral burial area, the more eerie the atmosphere becomes.

It is sunrise, the sun is rising in the east, and the yang energy should be at its peak.

But this hilltop was chilled by a constant, eerie wind.

The air was cold and stuffy, making people inexplicably feel anxious and depressed.

Zhou Mingyuan, a seasoned businessman with extensive experience, also sensed something was amiss.

"Strange, at this time of year, the back mountain is always warm in the morning, it has never been this cold and gloomy."

Lin Yuan did not respond, but the look in his eyes gradually turned cold.

Ordinary people can only feel cold and uncomfortable.

But in his eyes, the entire ancestral graveyard area was filled with turbulent yin energy and a completely chaotic aura, a truly malevolent force.

Soon, the three arrived at the Zhou family ancestral graves.

The ancestral graves in front of me are neat and clean.

The grave soil was freshly turned, the weeds around it were cleared away, and the tombstone was wiped clean and looked brand new.

This is exactly how it looked after Zhou Mingyuan personally returned to his hometown to rest and recuperate half a month ago.

Judging from its appearance alone, there is not a single flaw.

Zhou Mingyuan looked around, his face full of confusion.

"I repaired the grave half a month ago, and I specially invited an experienced craftsman from the village to handle the whole process."

"The filling of soil, clearing of weeds, and tidying up of the layout were all done according to the old rules, without any changes."

"It looks perfectly fine, what hidden dangers could there be?"

Zhou Chen nodded in agreement: "Yes, Lin Yuan, the appearance is perfectly fine, it looks quite neat."

Lin Yuan remained silent and slowly walked forward alone.

He slowly walked around the entire ancestral grave once.

My gaze swept over the tombstone, the main body of the grave mound, the location of the back soil, the left and right protective sands, and the water outlet at the foot of the mountain.

In just two minutes, he saw through all the hidden dangers.

Lin Yuan suddenly stopped on the left side of the grave mound, his eyes darkening completely.

It wasn't a repair mistake at all.

This is a deliberate scheme orchestrated by someone to harm the Zhou family!

The other party is malicious and uses covert methods.

Taking advantage of the chaotic scene while Zhou Mingyuan was renovating his ancestral grave, they secretly set up a Yin Sha formation to lock in the fortune of the family.

Ordinary experienced craftsmen and ordinary people would not be able to spot the slightest flaw.

When Zhou Chen and Zhou Mingyuan saw his solemn expression, their hearts jumped into their throats.

"Lin Yuan, is there really a problem?" Zhou Chen asked urgently.

Lin Yuan pointed to a seemingly ordinary patch of fresh soil on the lower left side of the grave mound, his voice icy.

"Dig it up here."

"Someone secretly buried something evil underneath."

"It is this thing that has locked away the ancestral energy of your Zhou family, attracting evil spirits that linger around the grave."

"The ancestral blessings have been severed and the family fortune has been sealed, which is why your entire family has suffered and has no peace."

The moment those words were spoken.

Zhou Mingyuan shuddered, his face turning deathly pale in an instant.

Zhou Chen's scalp tingled, and a surge of boundless rage rushed to his head!

"Someone deliberately buried something to frame my whole family?!"

Such methods are far too insidious and utterly depraved!

Hiding in the shadows, they secretly manipulated the feng shui of the ancestral graves, silently plotting to destroy the entire Zhou family!

Lin Yuan glanced at the grave and continued speaking in a deep voice.

"Not just this one place."

"There is a second yin object three feet in front of the grave."

"The two malevolent entities, one on the left and one in front, echo each other, forming a closed-loop trapping formation."

"On the surface, it's about repairing ancestral graves and accumulating good fortune and virtue."

"In reality, it severs ancestral blessings, locks in family fortune, and attracts evil spirits."

"During this time, evil spirits have been coursing through your bloodline and clinging to your family."

"Your sister's sudden illness and hospitalization, your mother's poor health and prolonged illness, Uncle Zhou's inexplicable weakness, and your serious injuries from the car accident are all chain reactions caused by this inauspicious situation."

Every single sentence perfectly corresponds to all the strange things that have happened in the family.

Zhou Mingyuan felt a cold sweat break out on his back and his whole body went ice cold.

Having been in business for decades, he has witnessed countless power struggles and business competition.

But he never expected that someone would use such a vicious method to harm his entire family!

"What a cruel heart..." Zhou Jianjun gritted his teeth and hissed, filled with shock and anger.

Lin Yuan's expression was serious as he issued a warning.

"Fortunately, it wasn't for long, and we discovered it in time."

"If it is delayed for another half month, the Yin energy will take root in the ancestral grave and bloodline."

"At that time, the Zhou family will not only decline in wealth and fortune, but also face financial ruin."

"It could even lead to terminal illnesses, serious diseases, and bloody disasters, with consequences that are completely irreversible."

Zhou Chen clenched his fists in anger, his eyes filled with rage.

"Dig! Dig it open right now!"

"I'm going to see today what kind of filthy thing dares to harm our family like this!"

Zhou Mingyuan suppressed his lingering fear and anger, and nodded emphatically.

"Dig! We must find out the hidden danger today and find out who's behind it all!"

The father and son dared not delay.

The group immediately started digging up the fresh soil next to the grave.

The soil here looks no different from the surrounding area, but the soil texture is exceptionally soft.

After digging for only a few minutes, there was a loud "bang".

The shovel struck a hard object.

Zhou Mingyuan stopped what he was doing and bent down to brush away the loose soil.

The next second, a dark object was revealed to the three of them.

It was an old, ominous wooden plaque, blackened all over, with rotten edges, and engraved with obscure and twisted patterns.

At the bottom of the wooden sign, a wisp of dry black hair was still wrapped around it, mixed with fine bits of dark soil.

It looks eerie and unsettling, sending chills down your spine.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Mingyuan personally went to dig three feet in front of the grave.

Less than half a minute later, another rusty iron nail was unearthed.

The iron nails were completely black, covered in mold, and exuded a chilling aura.

As soon as the two sinister objects appeared, the chilling aura of the entire mountain instantly intensified.

Zhou Chen held the black wooden plaque, feeling a chill run through him, his face turning ashen.

"Is this the thing that's caused our whole family to have bad luck, get sick, and have one accident after another?"

It's obvious without much thought that someone deliberately planted this here to harm people.

Zhou Mingyuan stared at the two malevolent objects, his eyes blazing with anger, yet also filled with lingering fear.

The Zhou family is a distinguished family, with a stable business and harmonious household.

This insidious feng shui arrangement almost silently led to the destruction of my family!

Lin Yuan's gaze fell on the two sinister objects, and he spoke coldly.

"Black wood locks in ancestral energy, black nails suppress the fortune of the grave."

"This is a Yin Sha Locking Fortune Formation specifically designed for family bloodlines."

"The deeper the burial and the longer it lasts, the more completely the health and fortune of the family members will collapse."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhou Mingyuan.

"Uncle Zhou, think about it carefully."

"In the past six months, especially just two weeks ago, has your Zhou family seriously offended anyone?"

"Or in business, have you formed any bitter rivals or turned against your partners?"

"The person who would go to such lengths to ruin the feng shui of your family's ancestral graves must be someone who knows your family affairs well and has a deep-seated grudge against you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingyuan fell silent instantly.

His brows furrowed deeply as he stood there, carefully recalling the events.

Having been in business for many years, he knew that competition and friction were inevitable in business.

Competition is competition, and everyone is after money. No one would resort to such insidious methods that sever someone's bloodline and destroy their entire family.

Two weeks ago was the day he returned to his hometown to repair his grave.

During that period, his business was stable, with no major disputes or enemies he had completely fallen out with.

After much thought, Zhou Mingyuan finally shook his head slowly.

"Xiao Yuan, I really can't think of anything."

"There are many business rivals, but at most they are just commercial competitors; no one would go to such lengths."

"I have no personal grudges. I always leave room for maneuver in my daily interactions with others."

He was genuinely stunned.

It's impossible to guess who is behind this insidious scheme against the Zhou family.

Zhou Chen, standing to the side, also looked puzzled.

"That's right, Lin Yuan. Our family has never had such a deadly feud with anyone before. It's outrageous."

Seeing the bewildered looks on the father and son's faces, Lin Yuan did not press them further.

The enemy is lurking in the shadows; thinking about it now is useless.

If we can't find any clues, then we should try to break the deadlock and solve the problem first.

Once the feng shui arrangement is resolved, the Zhou family's misfortune will naturally dissipate.

As for the person behind the scenes, since they've made their move, they'll inevitably slip up sooner or later.

If you can't think of anything, then stop thinking about it for now.
