Chapter 103 Fountain

At this moment, it is basically certain that "Wei Yan is really just an ordinary person."

Because the person who knows him best must be his apprentice, Zheng Peng. After all, there are some "business" matters that Wei Yanzhen may not even tell his relatives, but Zheng Peng must have been involved.

"Originally, the master and I also regarded the boss, oh, his name was Wu Qingfu, right? Originally, we also regarded Wu Qingfu as an ordinary customer. He said there was a bad ghost, so we dealt with it in the same way as a bad ghost. It was just a show. How to do it instead of doing it?

Originally, we planned to find a way to kill the evil ghosts recorded in ancient books and perform a performance to kill the evil ghosts. But Wu Qingfu asked us not to kill them, but to 'suppress' them.

This Wu Qingfu was generous and even said that he would do it at any cost. Then we can only follow the more complicated one. It is cumbersome and has many procedures, so that customers can trust it more.

Later, the master found a formation method called "Zhenlong Zhuang" from ancient books, which is to build the building into the shape of a sword and arrange it according to a certain pattern. This also involves some Feng Shui calculation methods, which are quite complicated.

When it comes to suppressing evil ghosts, ancient books say that dragon-suppressing stakes are the most reliable method. However, ancient books also say that the dragon-suppressing pile formation goes against the harmony of nature and is too overbearing. If the evil spirit suppressed by the dragon-suppressing stake has a high level of magic power and can leak even a trace of power outside the formation, it will definitely do everything possible to retaliate to the death of the person who set up the formation.

The master and I didn't really believe in this, so we followed Wu Qingfu's request and instructed him to build the Binhai Building and supporting buildings according to the pattern of Dragon Zhenzhuang.

As a result, the customer was very satisfied and even said that 'the evil spirit was indeed suppressed and driven' and 'the evil spirit could not escape despite trying several times', just like a lunatic.

At that time, we thought that Wu Qingfu might be a little abnormal in his mind, and he actually believed that evil spirits were being suppressed.

but then……"

Zheng Peng sighed deeply.

"You can find me, and you already know the information about my master and me, right? What happened to my master, what happened to me... you also know, right?"

He Wei does know.

Wei Yanzhen's only grandson died of illness. Later, Wei Yanzhen's son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident on their way to visit their grandson's grave. Wei Yanzhen became paralyzed and eventually committed suicide.

The whole family died.

Zheng Peng's old wife died of illness. The only son he regarded as the apple of his eye, Zheng Qianglong, was like a debt collector. He learned everything he could and ruined his family fortune. Later, he even joined a criminal group, leaving Zheng Peng overnight. White heads, premature aging.

But……

"Uncle Zheng, do you think this is all the revenge of the evil ghost? However, there is enough evidence to prove that Wei Yanzhen's grandson really died of illness, and his son and daughter-in-law were just accidents. 伱My son Zheng Qianglong, it was also because you didn’t discipline him properly when he was a child and seduced him by gangsters that..."

Zheng Peng murmured: "I know all these. But, they are all fate, they are all fate."

He Wei frowned.

She knew that what Zheng Peng thought was the revenge from the evil ghost was not realistic. For example, it was not the evil ghost who made Wei Yanzhen's grandson sick, nor was it the evil ghost who made Wei Yanzhen's son so insane that he had a car accident, nor was it the evil ghost who seduced his son into not learning well.

He believed that the evil ghost's revenge came from the level of "fate".

When life is bad, bad things will happen one after another. On a practical level, these bad things all have reasonable explanations. There is no contradiction between the two.

There is no way to discuss this issue.

"So, you believe that the evil ghost really exists, and because you and the master set up dragon-suppressing stakes to suppress it, it will take revenge on you, leading to your... miserable fate?"

Zheng Peng just sighed.

He Wei finally understood that when she first asked Zheng Peng about the dragon-suppressing stake, he would treat her with that attitude.

Zheng Peng was afraid that he would be involved in matters related to the evil ghost and the dragon-suppressing stake again, and would suffer even more serious retaliation.

Regardless of whether this "retaliation" actually exists, at least he believes it exists in his heart.

However, after he proposed to take his son back, Zheng Peng still agreed to it and got involved in this matter again.

No matter what, his feelings for his son were deep enough.

However, whether this feeling can be reciprocated is beyond He Wei's control. At least now it seems that Zheng Peng's expectations for his son are likely to be in vain.

"After the master's family died tragically and I fell into this situation, I knew that the evil ghost must be very ferocious. A large array like the dragon-suppressing pile is intact, fashionable and can suppress it, but after a long time, once it is damaged, That fierce ghost will definitely show its strength. I already knew that someone would definitely come to me..."

When things developed to this point, He Wei felt slightly disappointed.

I originally thought that from Zheng Peng, I could get some precise information about the "fierce ghost", at least its existence form, how to deal with it, etc., and maybe from this I could uncover the mystery that shrouded it.

As a result, the fact was that Zheng Peng didn't even know what it was and had no understanding of it. In fact, at the beginning, even the two parties involved, Zheng Peng and Wei Yanzhen, did not believe that the thing really existed.

After asking for some more details, He Wei said goodbye and left for the time being. Of course, I did not forget to arrange for someone to stay and protect Zheng Peng.

When it was time for the regular meeting, He Wei took out the recording equipment and played the information collected today to the other three people.

These contents made several people fall silent.

It seems that the clue has been broken again.

"Well, it seems that we can't get anything useful from Zheng Peng. But there is one thing we need to pay attention to."

Lu Ming said while thinking: "From Zheng Peng's words, we can know that after the dragon-suppressing stakes were deployed, at least Wu Qingfu himself believed that the dragon-suppressing stakes were effective. And, subsequent developments This is also confirmed.”

If the dragon-suppressing stake was ineffective, then how did Wu Qingfu achieve the goal of "driving the evil ghosts" to get those businessmen to surrender and agree to terms that were obviously unfavorable to him?

"We can ignore for the time being how the dragon-suppressing stake works on the unknown creature that is suspected of being a 'fierce ghost'. We only need to know that it can indeed have an effect.

So, maybe we can try this. We can ask Zheng Peng to go to Binhai Building again, and let him personally check where the dragon-suppressing piles are damaged, and then let him repair the dragon-suppressing piles completely. Afterwards, by observing the difference between the dragon-suppressing piles being intact or not, we may be able to find some clues. "

"There is another possibility."

Zhang Dingshan knocked on the table lightly: "The thing that had an effect on the unknown being who was suspected of being a fierce ghost was not the so-called Dragon Suppressing Stake at all, but another reason. It's just that the timing between the two was too coincidental. Wu Qingfu, Wei Yanzhen, and Zheng Peng all mistakenly thought that the Dragon Suppressing Stake was working."

In short, this is a misunderstanding.

However, there is no clue as to what the "reason" is for the other reason, not even any direction for investigation.

Lu Ming said: "Let Zheng Peng try to restore the dragon-suppressing pile formation. If the situation does not change at all after the formation is restored, well, although this cannot completely rule out the possibility that the 'dragon-suppressing pile' is ineffective, after all, it may be The unknown existence is gradually recovering, but in the end, the possibility of 'other reasons' will increase, and we can also consider adjusting our future investigation strategies."

He Wei seemed to suddenly remember something and raised her hand: "Whether the Dragon Suppressing Stake is effective or not, we can do a test. Uh... forget it."

To test whether the dragon-suppressing stake is effective, you must first find a ghost and try to suppress it to see if it is effective. But where are the ghosts in this world?

Zhang Dingshan, however, thought thoughtfully: "We can indeed test it. We can ask Zheng Peng to copy a smaller version of the dragon-suppressing pile in another place, and then take scientific equipment to the dragon-suppressing pile to conduct the most detailed inspection to see if it is consistent with the outside world. Are there any differences? In addition, ask Zheng Peng to take out the ancient books recording the dragon-suppressing pile formation and give them to religious scientists and folklorists for analysis."

He Wei shook his head: "That ancient book has been lost for a long time. According to Zheng Peng, the dragon-suppressing pile is extremely complicated. You must first learn to observe the sky at night, and then watch the flow of mountains, rivers, and other energy. In short, you can't learn it in a few years." . He should be the last person in the world who can master the dragon-suppressing pile formation. Huh, these magicians have no real ability in reality. They come up with incomprehensible theories one after another."

After finalizing the matter, He Wei came to Zheng Peng's house again the next day.

At this moment, after yesterday's incident of his son Zheng Qianglong's prodigal return, Zheng Peng's spirit seemed much better.

He did not resist He Wei's request. It seemed that he had already been mentally prepared.

His son Zheng Qianglong was in the hands of others and he was not allowed to go back on his promise.

Of course He Wei knew that no matter what Zheng Peng chose, she would never interfere with the judiciary, but Zheng Peng didn't know.

So, that afternoon, Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming received He Wei and Zheng Peng who arrived at the airport together.

Without much delay, accompanied by Gao Chunhua, the group of five people immediately set off for Binhai Building.

Arriving under the building, Zheng Peng only took one look, and his expression immediately became serious.

"When was this fountain... built?"

Lu Ming looked at Gao Chunhua, and Gao Chunhua immediately said: "It's been quite a few years. Well... it was built the year Wu Qingfu went bankrupt and the Binhai Building changed owners."

Zheng Peng sighed: "It's true. This fountain, oh, no wonder, no wonder."
