Luxury, spaciousness, and size.
These were Jiang Wen's impressions of the entire villa.
A villa with dozens of rooms, like a classic Western palace, filled the view with a rich Gothic style.
Hanging crystal lamps, a large red carpet, exquisite statues, and murals.
In the main hall, displaying various antique items, classical plate armors stood in a row like knights. If he didn't know this place was in Malaysia, Jiang Wen would have thought he was in the Palace of Versailles, although he had never been there.
Only billionaires like the Chen family could afford to live in such a luxurious place.
However, this didn't mean much to Jiang Wen. Although the Chen family was large, it was still smaller than his Jingxu Temple.
“Celestial Master, what do you think of the feng shui of my home?” Chen Family Head asked with a smile.
Jiang Wen looked around for a moment, then patted Mo Xiang's head.
Mo Xiang understood his intention and said, “Facing south, with all five elements complete. The feng shui is not bad, but extreme prosperity is bound to decline.”
“What does the little Daoist mean by this?” Chen Family Head had thought the girl next to Jiang Wen was just an attendant, but he didn't expect her to be the Celestial Master's disciple. Immediately, his expression became respectful, and he didn't dare to neglect her.
“Your family is perfect in every way, all based on the meaning of the Nine Extremes. However, the extreme cannot last long; isolated yang cannot grow. The fate of everyone in the Chen family may not be able to bear this kind of nobility, so the feng shui of the layman's home is not bad, but it is too good, making it easy for people to take advantage of. With just a little trickery, it can turn auspiciousness into misfortune, backfiring on the owner.” Mo Xiang spoke slowly, and the Chen Family Head was covered in sweat. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Then he called the butler to pour tea, took a sip from the teacup to relax, and looked at Mo Xiang sincerely, asking, “According to the little Celestial Master, how should the feng shui of my home be changed?”
Mo Xiang pondered for a moment, then said, “It's better to take the number seven, which is the middle way. Yang begins at one, grows at three, observes the combination of Dou and Xu at five, small completion is seven, and great completion is nine, so seven is the immature stage of the yang number, and nine is the ultimate of the yang number. It is better to take the middle and harmonious way to protect the family from declining for thousands of years.”
“Please help me, little Celestial Master.” Chen Family Head sincerely thanked her.
Mo Xiang looked at Jiang Wen and received an encouraging look. She gained confidence and followed the butler to inspect the feng shui of the courtyard.
Jiang Wen then chatted with the Chen Family Head to understand some details.
The Chen family's ancestors were nobles during the imperial era. Later, in times of chaos, there was endless killing. To avoid disaster, the Chen family moved to Malaysia in Nanyang. With the diligence and ingenuity of everyone in the family, they took root in Malaysia and became wealthy merchants.
The Chen Family Head's name was Chen Wen, ranked third among his peers, so he was also known as Chen Lao San.
He showed a keen business sense since he was a child, and he performed well during the Nanyang financial crisis, earning a large amount of money for the family. Because of this, he inherited the main family during the later division of the family.
As for what exactly happened this time, Chen Wen couldn't say before. But now that they were at his place, he could directly show Jiang Wen the matter.
After Chen Wen finished speaking, he got up and invited Jiang Wen to the back room.
The two came to a door covered with yellow talismans and strange writing. Chen Wen pointed to the door and said in a low voice, “It's behind the door. Celestial Master, please be careful.”
With that, he slowly pushed open the door.
Creak—
The creaking sound of the decaying door rang out, and the two walked in. Jiang Wen saw a strange scene.
This was a luxuriously decorated Republic-style room. In the middle of the room was a bed covered with white bedding. On the bed slept a little girl.
Jiang Wen glanced at the little girl lying on the bed, then shifted his gaze to other places. The room was a mess, as if bandits had passed through, ransacked by someone.
White paper money was scattered on the floor, and paper dolls and wreaths filled the room.
On the wall, a dark red ink splash mark caught his attention. Jiang Wen looked closely, and if he felt right, that mark should be blood.
It seemed to be some kind of writing written with human blood.
And in front of the bed, a black coffin was placed peacefully.
The four corners of the coffin were filled with long swords, each sword with a talisman attached.
In front of the coffin was a hexagram drawn with blood, and the candles placed on it had long been extinguished.
This eerie scene was truly terrifying, especially since the windows on all sides were tightly sealed. It was as if they were worried about something running out, and a large number of talismans were attached.
“These talismans…” Jiang Wen looked at Chen Wen with some confusion. These talismans didn't have the slightest bit of magic power. Sticking them on the wall was mostly for decoration. If you wanted to use these things to limit something, it would probably be useless.
“These were left behind by the Maoshan Celestial Masters after performing rituals. The Celestial Master said that the yin and evil energy in the house was too heavy and must be imprisoned with spells. Some of them were also rituals performed by Nanyang wizards, but a lot of money was spent and the problem was not solved. When asked, they only said that the room needed to be sealed for three years, and the problem could be eradicated when the heavenly gods descended.” Chen Wen said with a bitter smile on his face.
“A lot of money has been spent in the past few months, but the problem has not been solved. Strange things always happen in the house, and the behavior of some family members has become strange. I feel that if this continues, our Chen family will be finished sooner or later.”
Chen Wen sighed, looking at Jiang Wen with hope: “I heard that Celestial Master Jiang is a truly capable person, and I hope you can help me this time.”
“It's not a big deal.” Jiang Wen responded, looking at the situation in the room.
He walked to the little girl and reached out to touch her face.
“This is my little daughter, who has also suffered this calamity. She has been in a coma and can't be awakened. The hospital couldn't find any problems. We can only listen to the wizard's words and keep her in this room for recuperation.” Chen Wen said with some sadness.
After checking, Jiang Wen found that the little girl had lost her life soul and was also infected with some corpse energy. She was now in the process of corpse transformation, but because of insufficient corpse energy, the progress was slow and she remained in a coma.
He was not in a hurry to save the child, but walked to the coffin and looked at it.
“Inside is my wife, she has completely gone mad. I have no choice but to listen to the Celestial Master's words and seal her up.” Chen Wen said in a low voice.
“Open it.” Jiang Wen said.
“Ah?” Chen Wen was stunned.
“Open the coffin, let me take a look.”
“But the Celestial Master said that if it is opened, there will be danger…” Chen Wen stopped him.
“It's okay, I'll take care of everything.” Jiang Wen smiled at Chen Wen, then took out a long sword from the coffin, inserted it into the coffin gap, and slightly forced it open.
A foul stench came over him, and Jiang Wen stuck a talisman on the coffin. He looked at the person in the coffin again, a middle-aged woman in a white shroud. The woman's face was clean, but her skin was already a bit bruised. Only a faint breath in her nose proved that her life was still there.
“Thank you, Celestial Master!” Chen Wen saw that his wife's complexion was obviously much better, and immediately knew that the young man in front of him was truly capable. He was extremely excited and grateful.
“These are just small matters. I just heard you say that other relatives have also had accidents? Can you take me to see them?” Jiang Wen said.
“Of course, of course. Celestial Master, follow me.” Chen Wen led the way.
