The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 294:
Chapter 294: Chapter 294 You Lost!
Lin Zicong, Yang Kai and the others were digging frantically. They dug a massive hole at the place where the glow faded; however, the deeper they dug, the colder it got, as if they were carving out a hole in a block of ice.
Finally…
An ancient coffin was unearthed!
Startled out of their wits, Lin Zicong and the rest ran towards Huang Xiaolong.
“Don’t be scared. What is there to fear with me here?” Huang Xiaolong said with a grin, then cast a casual glance at the unearthed coffin.
It was a stone coffin, adorned with intricate and complex patterns— two things were particularly strange about it—
Firstly, there were several yellow amulets on the coffin, and seven wooden stakes were hammered into it.
Secondly, the entire stone coffin was enveloped in a thin layer of frost, and the surrounding soil had frozen solid.
“Little Long, what… what is this?” Lin Jianfeng asked, trembling.
Despite his lifetime of martial prowess, the sight before him left him completely baffled and filled with chilling dread.
“This spot is a source of intense Yin energy. You saw just how deadly this Yin force is—it even froze the area around it. However, this malignant yin source is not a natural occurrence. It was formed by the thing inside the stone coffin forcefully altering the Feng Shui, making it a zone of extreme Yin. The artifact in the coffin is malevolent. Look at it— even the amulets and seven-star stakes can’t hold it down completely…”
As Huang Xiaolong explained, he burned another amulet aimed to dispel evil and the frost coating the coffin began to melt.
The next second…
Creepily, the lid of the coffin began to shudder and twitch.
Boom boom, boom boom, boom, boom
In the eerie silence, the sounds of the coffin lid hitting the coffin made everyone’s soul shudder!
It felt as though something malicious was about to burst out of the coffin!
All the people gathered began to shudder, pressing against Huang Xiaolong.
What followed was an even more horrifying sight: Red liquid was seeping from the cracks of the coffin, just like fresh blood!
Some of the onlookers even let out a terrified scream.
“Well, there are two bodies in the coffin: a mother and a child. The woman was nine months pregnant when she died. The child had died in the womb before having a chance to come into this world. Can you imagine the resentment this would have caused? This phenomenon is called ‘Mother and Child’s Malevolent Corpse.’ It’s no wonder why the amulets engraved on the coffin lid and seven-star stakes weren’t able to suppress it. If a few more people die on this construction site and the resentment they feed on increases, they could break out of the coffin. If the mother and child rise from the coffin, there would be rivers of blood. This is not a joke.”
Huang Xiaolong casually explained, then let out a small smirk. “I don’t think I need to put on a ghost-catching show today. Wouldn’t want to scare all of you too much.”
Having said that, Huang Xiaolong took out a cylindrical device for capturing ghosts and opened its lid, and then, the miraculous happened!
The bleeding stone coffin suddenly transformed into a stream of light and was absorbed within the ghost-catching device!
The ghost-catching device wasn’t big, but it had swallowed up the massive stone coffin. Those watching couldn’t comprehend this.
Only Master Ren seemed to understand what was going on, his eyes glinting with greed. He licked his lips, his heart pounding. ‘A treasure! Such a huge treasure! This young fool has such a legendary artifact… Good! Good! When I return, I’ll tell my master. He’ll do everything in his power to seize this precious artifact.. Although I’ve lost face this time, it hasn’t been a complete loss!’
Master Ren had developed an all-consuming desire for Huang Xiaolong’s ghost-catching device!
If Huang Xiaolong found out about this, he would stagger with laughter!
With the disappearance of the malevolent coffin, the fog-like Yin energy dissipated, and the evening glow shone down. The area was bathed in a golden glow.
“Little Long… this… this… It’s incredible!” Lin Jianfeng’s heart started to idolize Huang Xiaolong!
With such supernatural powers, the Lin family must do everything possible to win him over!
An idea sprouted in Lin Jianfeng as he glanced at his own daughter, Lin Jing, and his eyes hinted at something brewing up.
Feeling her father’s gaze, Lin Jing seemed to understand something. The ordinarily frosty expression on her face turned unexpectedly red, and her heart raced.
“Little Long, has the situation with the construction site been entirely resolved?” Lin Jing asked Huang Xiaolong nonchalantly.
“Almost resolved. However, the Feng Shui here has been disrupted by the ‘Mother and Child’s Malevolent Corpse.’” While speaking, Huang Xiaolong took out some paper and a pen from his canvas bag, sketched something and then handed it to Lin Jing. “Sister Jing, when you start construction, follow this blueprint. All the buildings, once in line with each other, will form a Tai Chi Diagram. As the saying goes, the Tai Chi gives birth to the two elements, two elements give birth to the four symbols, four symbols give birth to the eight trigrams. In this way, the Feng Shui of this place will be rejuvenated. It will become prosperous, businesses will thrive, and it will keep any unclean elements in check.”
Lin Jing hurriedly handed the blueprint to Lin Jianfeng.
Lin Jianfeng took the blueprint, and the weight on his heart lifted, leaving him feeling incredibly light and elated, “Hahaha Little Long, we’re lucky to have you! Otherwise, our Lin family would have been deceived by ignorant fools! As such, Little Long, once this place is developed, our Lin family will present you with 20 stores.”
At these words, the people looked at each other in surprise.
He was giving 20 stores in the most prosperous and economically valuable area in Binhai…
How much would they be worth?
Moreover, store lots appreciate in value over time.
You could say that with 20 stores in this area, Huang Xiaolong had already stepped into the ranks of the Binhai elite!
“Um…” Huang Xiaolong blinked in surprise.
Lin Jing smiled gently, “Little Long, it’s your due.”
“Oh, okay then.” Only then did Huang Xiaolong nod in agreement.
At this point, Lin Zicong realized that he had managed to latch onto a bigshot!
He deeply felt that begging Huang Xiaolong to take him as an apprentice at the charity dinner was the most correct decision he’d made in his life!
It was even a decision that changed his life!
“Master… Didn’t you say that those who participated in the excavation would get a reward?” Lin Zicong asked Huang Xiaolong eagerly.
“Oh, don’t worry, I always keep my word.” Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly, then pulled out a handful of amulets from his canvas bag and handed them to Lin Zicong, “These are amulets I painted myself. Sew a sachet, put the amulet in it, and carry it with you. Regular evil beings won’t dare to approach, and it can even stave off a disaster. Everyone who participated in the excavation gets one. You distribute them.”
“Okay” Lin Zicong was inexplicably excited about distributing the amulets.
Those who hadn’t participated in the excavation instantly regretted it, their insides turning green with envy.
“Um… Can I buy one of those amulets? 200,000 Hong Kong dollars each, how about it?” Master Ren blurted.
“Hehehe” Huang Xiaolong directed his gaze towards Master Ren. “You’ve lost. Now, take out the Feng Shui magic artifact you have on you, kneel down, mimic a dog’s bark a hundred times and get out of Binhai!”
