Chapter 1434 - 1434 ‘Pan Dalei’s’ True Ident.i.ty
1434 ‘Pan Dalei’s’ True Ident.i.ty
At that point, Aunt Miao’s tone turned heavy. Chi Shuyan and Brother Feng looked at each other, then heard Aunt Miao sigh. “Later, the ancestral grave of the old village chief was indeed dug up. The old village chief vomited blood and died on the spot. The old village chief died, and his wife also died a few days later. As for the only son of the old village chief, he suddenly died not long after, but his death was quite strange.”
Just as everyone was sighing over the fate of the old village chief’s family, Aunt Miao took a deep breath and continued, “Actually, I heard a few elders in the village mention before that a Daoist priest came to the village a long time ago. He said that the feng shui of the old village chief’s ancestral grave was very good and that there was still a trace of dragon qi in the dragon vein under the village. Although it was a little weak, as long as the feng shui of the ancestral grave wasn’t destroyed, the village would survive all sorts of disasters, big and small, for generations. However, if the feng shui of the ancestral grave was destroyed, the village would also be destroyed. Unfortunately, after the elders died, no one in the village believed in the words of this Daoist priest!”
Aunt Miao recalled the nightmare which followed after the old village chief died and his ancestral grave was destroyed. By the time she realized that what the Daoist priest had said was all true, it was too late.
“Dragon qi?” Chi Shuyan had many guesses about Dashn Village, but she truly didn’t expect that there would be ‘dragon qi’ in that place. It could be said that ‘dragon qi’ was very rare – if a cultivator could refine and absorb even a trace of it, they could immediately be reborn and take another step forward. If that was the case, it was no wonder that the person behind the Buddha statue targeted Dashan Village.
!!
Chi Shuyan was a cultivator, after all, and was well aware of this. To everyone else in the room, it sounded very mystical and exaggerated. However, no one doubted the truth of this matter at all. Director w.a.n.g and the others only sighed with emotion as their worldview was refreshed. They listened with both relish and fear.
Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong asked curiously, “Master… Master Chi, are there really dragons in this world?”
When Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong asked the question, the others stared at her eagerly. Seeing that Brother Feng, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were also staring expectantly at her, the corners of Chi Shuyan’s mouth twitched fiercely. She deliberated for a moment before she said, “There are all sorts of strange things in the world, but dragons are probably extinct. It’s impossible for them to exist.” She really wasn’t lying. There were limitations to cultivation in this world, not only for people, but also for other things. Anything that existed beyond these limits would destroy the balance of this world, and the consequences would be unthinkable. Dragons were creatures that were of too high a level. They might exist in the cultivation world, but they naturally didn’t exist in this world. Seeing everyone’s disappointment, she changed the subject and said again, “As for dragon veins and dragon qi, it’s possible that they exist.”
As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, everyone’s eyes lit up. Aunt Miao looked at her in admiration and said, “Miss Chi, you truly know a lot!”
Not to mention that Chi Shuyan had lived two lifetimes, she had also benefited a lot from the information recorded in the Mystic Yin Arts. It was normal for her to know a little more than ordinary people. She wasn’t arrogant at all, mainly because she didn’t have the confidence to be arrogant. She really didn’t know everything, so Chi Shuyan smiled modestly and said, “It just so happens that I know a little more than you do. It’s not a big deal!”
Her modest att.i.tude once again made Aunt Miao, Director w.a.n.g and the others look at her in a new light. Director w.a.n.g and the others in particular also made up their minds to get along with this Master. After all, this world was so dangerous. Master Chi was young, but she was really capable and had a good character – there was no need for them to worry about being taken for a ride.
Director w.a.n.g and the others immediately looked at Chi Shuyan with burning eyes, and so did Yan Zhengming, Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Xu Tong.
Yang Kun was a little jealous. He couldn’t help but lean close to Ruan Shenglin and Yan Zhengming and whisper, “We clearly met Master first. Why is Director w.a.n.g looking at Master Chi like that?”
Yan Zhengming and Ruan Shenglin wanted to laugh at Yang Kun’s jealous tone, but they also felt the same way. They couldn’t do anything too obsequious, but judging from Director w.a.n.g’s actions now, he might really start fawning on Master Chi. Back then, Director w.a.n.g looked like he didn’t believe Master Chi. Wasn’t it a slap in the face now?
Director w.a.n.g had really forgotten how he had treated her as a swindler back then. Even if he remembered, he wouldn’t admit it.
Chi Shuyan frowned at Director w.a.n.g’s unusually hot gaze. It wasn’t as aggressive as Qi Zhenbai’s, but Director w.a.n.g’s eyes were filled with obsequious solicitousness, which made her quite uncomfortable. She only took a glance before she looked at Aunt Miao and asked again, “Who on earth is that ‘Pan Dalei’ we saw in the village? Is he Father Pan?”
Aunt Miao didn’t expect the young lady in front of her to be so smart and guess Father Pan’s ident.i.ty so quickly. She was startled, but when she thought of this young lady’s capability, she wasn’t surprised anymore and nodded. “Yes!”
As soon as Aunt Miao nodded, the others couldn’t help but be shocked by the truth. Some immediately raised their doubts, while others asked about Father Pan’s age.
When they heard from Aunt Miao that Father Pan was already in his nineties, everyone couldn’t help but think of how young Father Pan had looked. It was simply unbelievable.
From the looks of it, ‘Village Chief Pan’ was no more than 60 years old, and didn’t look like he was in his nineties at all, not only in terms of this physique, but also his voice and appearance. Back then, ‘Village Chief Pan’ was dressed too simply; if he had dressed up a little more, they might have believed that he was in his forties or fifties. It was precisely because of this that when they heard that he was in his nineties, everyone was shocked and in disbelief.
Just then, there was a soft and rhythmic knocking on the window, which was covered by the curtain. Not long after, there was knocking again. It was out of place in the quiet night. Chi Shuyan was the swiftest to react, and she looked sharply at the window. “Who is it?”
