I pursed my dry lips and asked hoarsely: "Master, what do you mean by three years?"

"It literally means that after three years, the Nine Palace Curse has absorbed a sufficient amount of Yin Qi and evil spirit, and will be officially activated by the person behind the scenes to start hunting down eighteen targets around the world.

At that time, the relatives and friends of the Eighteenth Target will be implicated in the curse again, but the effect will be three times less than it is now, but no one dares to say that they will survive it safely.

Innocent people will die tragically in this process.

I can only do this for now. In three years, you will have to hire someone else to protect you. I can't interfere any more.

There are rules in the road. If you interfere too many times, it will be regarded as an extreme provocation. I am not afraid of your jokes. I am no match for the person who arranged the Nine Palace Curse. My family and I still have to live."

Master An looked bitter.

"Master, we understand, you don't need to explain."

I quickly expressed my opinion.

"Three years, give me three years, and I will sort it out myself."

This is what I really think.

"But, my adoptive parents have died a long time ago. Why do they use curses to target people who have passed away?"

When I asked this question, the tribesmen all pricked up their ears.

Master An gave the male apprentice a look. It seemed that he was very tired and struggled to speak.

Chen Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked up at me, and said in a deep tone: "The target of the curse is actually the human soul. In other words, it can target both living people and souls.

Your adoptive parents have passed away several years ago, but there is a curse targeting them. This may mean several things."

"What's going on?" I took a step forward.

"First, your adoptive parents may have faked their death. They were worried about being found by their enemies, so they tried to escape by tricking themselves into hiding. Second, they really passed away, but their ghosts did not follow the rules to report to the underworld, but wandered around the world.

It's now locked under a curse.

Three years later, the process of chasing souls and taking lives will officially begin.

Or, one of them really passed away, but the other person faked his death, which is a state of one person and one spirit.

In short, no matter what the situation is, no matter whether they are humans or ghosts, they are currently in the world of the sun, not in the underworld, and the power of the curse cannot extend to the underworld. There are barriers and barriers."

"laugh!

The clan leader and all the clan members gasped.

My heart is full of anxiety. Judging from Chen Yu's words, my adoptive parents are in danger!

Yutong suddenly made a sound.

"Fang Gui, you don't have to worry. It will be officially launched in three years. At the moment, no matter what the status of your adoptive parents is, nothing major will happen, but it will be three years from now."

She closed her mouth.

I narrowed my eyes and felt the heavy weight on my shoulders.

"Three years is the time God left for me. I must have the ability to resist the curse of the Nine Palaces before the three-year deadline. My adoptive parents have been kind to me and allowed me to grow up smoothly. As a son of man, I must protect them, no matter what.

Whether they are living people or ghosts, I am obligated to do so."

My teeth bit too hard and my lips bled, but I felt no pain.

After the power of the cemetery curse was dealt with by Master An, the Fang clan will not be affected for three years. The old clan leader expressed his gratitude on behalf of all clan members and paid the reward as agreed.

The exact amount was not told to me, but I noticed that the old patriarch was sighing behind his back, and I knew that it must have been the effort of the entire clan.

That's right. Master An worked so hard, and the Fang family must pay him heavily, otherwise it would be unjustifiable.

Under the command of Master An, the tribesmen placed the two paper figures in the empty coffins, buried them in the soil again, toppled the tombstones, and erected a new tombstone.

The power of the curse has been temporarily disconnected, so this operation is no longer a problem, but the curse of the Nine Palaces is still there, which is impossible.

After taking care of the cemetery, the carriage team set off and returned to Xingshen Village.

Master An stayed in the village for three days and regained his strength. Then he took his two disciples and left. All of us in the clan went to say goodbye.

The other villagers did not know Master An and just watched the excitement from a distance. The Fang clan members did not talk much. Therefore, the villagers only knew that the Fang family cemetery was destroyed, but they did not know the whole story of the incident.

As time went by, no one talked about it.

I took Qingshan back from Old Man Gou. As for the debt of 10,000 yuan? Now I have no money, so I can only find ways to make money to pay off the debt, which is hard!

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and there is only one week left before the start of school. My injury has healed.

During this period of time, my soul did not leave my body. The reason is that I applied a protective Taoist technique on myself called Soul Fixation Technique.

The inheritance of Maoshan Ghost Gate is truly incredible. In the past, the soul could only be stabilized by setting up immortality tablets with great fanfare, but now a soul-fixing technique can solve the hidden dangers. This made me realize the preciousness of the secret technique of Ghost Gate.

Now that the soul is stable, the next step is to find ways to raise money to pay off the debt. After all, a master like Old Man Gou cannot default on his debt at first glance, or he will be beaten to death.

But how can there be a job in this broken mountain village that can earn 10,000 yuan in a short period of time? I am worried about this.

It was just dark that day, and I was thinking about going to the county town to find some work tomorrow. A certain tribesman suddenly came to inform me that he wanted to give me a crown ceremony at the "Shengzihao Ancient House" at the north end of the village.

After hearing this, I remembered that as long as the men in Xingshen Village are over twenty years old, they have to go to the ancient house of the birthplace for a crown ceremony according to the rules.

There are a total of sixteen ancient houses in Xingshen Village that are well preserved and occupy a relatively large area. There are also some dilapidated and abandoned houses with smaller areas. If you add them together, there are about thirty or forty houses in one place.

No one lives in them.

To put it bluntly, no one dares to live there!

Only when tour groups come, some of the ancient houses are opened for travelers to live and explore for a few days, which is one of the ways for the village to make money.

It's a pity that few tour groups dare to come all year round. After all, the name of the ghost village is too famous.

The numbering method of the ancient houses is based on certain paragraphs in the Thousand Characters Essay.

For example: Gold is born in Lishui, and jade comes out of Kungang. The sword is called a giant palace, and the beads are called luminous. Fruits are precious, plum blossoms, and vegetables are heavy, mustard ginger. The sea is salty and the river is light, and the scales are hidden and the feathers are flying... and so on.

Someone asked, why not use the words "Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, Universe, Great Desolate" at the beginning of "Thousand Characters" as the name of Guwu?

This is because the villagers feel that the village cannot afford such expensive fonts, so they only dare to use part of them. Therefore, the ancient house with a gold font is considered the number one ancient house in the village.

The four ancient houses with the name of "Jinsheng Lishui" are not open to external visitors.

It is said that the village's patron saint is enshrined in the golden ancient house. Who is it specifically? I don't know.

In the ancient house of Shengzihao, the Lord of the Land is enshrined.

No gods are worshiped in other ancient houses.
