Chapter 25: Evil Spirit Possession (With Divination)
Walking to the courtyard gate, he looked at the screen again. “Two Masters, then… I’m going in?”
Lin Yuan and Old Feng both nodded.
Lin Yuan spoke up. “Little Zhang, after you go in, ask your parents how your sister died.”
Zhang Jiaxing was stunned. “Little Master Qingzhou, do you suspect that the one entangled with us is my sister?”
Lin Yuan pursed his lips. “It’s only a guess for now.”
“Impossible! We didn’t kill my sister; why would she entangle us?”
Lin Yuan didn’t speak.
Old Feng said, “Go in first and we’ll see!”
Zhang Jiaxing nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand to knock on the courtyard door.
“Dad, Mom, I’m back!” he shouted.
Soon, footsteps came from inside.
The big iron gate was opened.
An old couple welcomed him out with faces full of smiles.
“Jiaxing! You’re back!” The auntie’s thin face was piled with wrinkles.
“Son, quick, come in and sit!” The uncle was also dark and thin, his swollen eye bags especially obvious when he smiled.
Master Feng’s voice came from Zhang Jiaxing’s phone.
“Brother Zhang, let us look at the layout of your courtyard.”
This sudden voice startled Zhang’s parents. “Son, who’s talking?”
Zhang Jiaxing held up the phone. “Dad, Mom, I’m connecting with a master’s livestream!”
Auntie Zhang asked, “Connecting? What for?”
Zhang Jiaxing paused. “He’s a master. He said… said he could help us look at the Feng Shui.”
He didn’t dare tell the truth, so he told a lie.
Zhang’s parents nodded.
“Oh, oh! That’s good, that’s good!”
Zhang Jiaxing put down his luggage and walked around the yard with his phone.
Lin Yuan and Master Feng looked at the layout of the yard and cast a hexagram again.
Lin Yuan looked at the six copper coins on the desk, then looked up at the Zhang family’s small courtyard.
“Master Old Feng, my hexagram shows that the Uncle and Auntie’s Disaster Star is right in this courtyard.”
Old Feng looked solemn. “I got the same result!”
As he spoke, he wrote a few strokes on a piece of paper with a pen. “Little Brother Qingzhou, why don’t you also write down the specific direction, and we’ll compare!”
Lin Yuan nodded, took a pen and paper, and wrote three words.
The two displayed the words on the paper to the camera at the same time.
The netizens widened their eyes.
Both papers had three words written on them: “Northwest Corner”!
Zhang Jiaxing’s gaze turned toward the northwest corner of the courtyard.
The netizens followed the camera lens and also looked toward the northwest corner of the small courtyard.
There was a simple pigsty.
Inside the pigsty, there was only one big fat pig.
The pig was much larger than an average pig, visually estimated to be eight or nine hundred jin (approx. 400-500 kg).
It was clearly a large white pig, but its bristles faintly glowed with black.
A pair of small eyes flashed with a shrewd light.
“Two Masters, here… there’s only a pig!” Zhang Jiaxing was confused. “Could it be that it is the Disaster Star?”
Old Feng suddenly asked, “How many years has this pig lived?”
Zhang Jiaxing thought for a moment. “At least twelve or thirteen years. It’s our family’s stud pig. We used to be poor, and relied on it to breed and make money!”
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes. “It’s rare for ordinary stud pigs to live past eight years. This pig is not simple!”
Old Feng nodded in approval. “Brother Qingzhou may be young, but he really knows a lot!”
Lin Yuan: “I used to live in the mountains, so I know a little.”
Zhang Jiaxing asked again, “Master, then, you two look, how can this Disaster Star be resolved?”
Before his voice fell, Lin Yuan’s expression changed.
“Little Zhang, something seems wrong with that pig!”
Everyone looked at the northwest corner of the small courtyard.
At this moment, red light suddenly emitted from the two small eyes of that black-bristled big boar inside the fence.
Its nostrils flared open and closed, spraying moist vapor.
From its long snout, turbid saliva dripped down continuously.
It took a few steps back, its hooves kicking the ground a few times.
The next second, the big boar charged violently toward the fence gate.
With a loud BANG, the fence gate of the pigsty was smashed open by this behemoth.
The big boar leaped into the air, charging right over.
The netizens were terrified, and the three members of the Zhang family on the scene were even more terrified.
“Ah!” Auntie Zhang screamed.
Zhang Jiaxing reacted a bit faster, pulling his old mother to the side.
Uncle Zhang couldn’t run in time and was hit head-on by the big boar.
The impact force of a big boar weighing nearly half a ton running at full speed can be imagined.
The short and thin uncle was instantly sent flying, his body soaring into the air.
When he fell, the back of his head hit the stone roller in the corner of the yard.
Uncle Zhang only groaned once, then ceased breathing.
A large patch of bright red blood gushed from the back of his head.
The sudden change scared everyone silly.
Only the pig remained very clear-headed.
It turned its head and charged toward Auntie Zhang on the other side.
“Help!” Auntie Zhang screamed miserably.
But the rural population was sparse to begin with, plus they had a standalone courtyard far from neighbors; no one could hear their shouts.
The livestream room exploded.
[Holy crap, what’s the situation? Scared me to death!]
[This isn’t a script, is it? Can someone tell me if this is a script?]
[That old man’s blood splattered on the spot! If this is acting, the props and makeup can compete for an Oscar!]
The number of viewers in the livestream room also grew exponentially at a geometric rate.
At this time, the ferocious beast had already rushed in front of the auntie.
How could Zhang Jiaxing watch his old mother be hurt by this beast? He gritted his teeth and leaped in front of his mother. He took a stance, trying to fight the big boar desperately.
But everyone knew that even though Zhang Jiaxing was a sturdy young man, he wasn’t worth mentioning in front of that behemoth.
Many netizens covered their eyes, and quite a few urgently prayed to the gods in the comment section.
However, something that made everyone’s jaw drop happened.
The crazed big boar rushed to the front and actually stopped.
It stopped less than half a meter away from Zhang Jiaxing.
Hooves pawing the ground, nostrils flaring, drool flowing down.
Staring with a pair of scarlet small eyes, it fixed its gaze dead on the trembling Zhang Jiaxing.
[Look quickly, does that pig not want to hurt the little brother?]
[The big boar must be possessed by an evil spirit! It’s only seeking revenge on his parents, not wanting to hurt Little Zhang!]
Lin Yuan looked at the bizarre situation in the small courtyard, connected all the information in his mind, and had a bold guess.
“Little Zhang!” he shouted. “Ask your mother immediately, how exactly did your sister die? Quick!”
Little Zhang was already stiff with fear.
Although he didn’t understand the master’s intention in doing this, they were his only life-saving straw right now.
“Mom, how did my sister die?” Zhang Jiaxing cried out with a sobbing tone.
Auntie Zhang was scared pale, her voice trembling as she said, “At this critical juncture, why are you asking this?”
“Mom, speak quickly!” Zhang Jiaxing was so anxious his face turned red.
“She was hit by a car…”
However, before she could finish her sentence, the big boar swung its head, its snout knocking Zhang Jiaxing four or five meters away with one blow, and he fell to the ground.
Immediately after, it slammed its head into Auntie Zhang’s stomach.
“Ah—” Auntie Zhang screamed and fell on her back.
The big boar raised its two front hooves, aiming at the auntie’s chest, about to stomp down heavily.
If a half-ton pig stepped on a person, death was certain.
“No!” Zhang Jiaxing roared. “Mom, are you not telling the truth?”
Auntie Zhang was about to be scared crazy, emitting a despairing voice: “…She was, was killed by us!”
