Mr. Feng Shui of the Republic of China

Xia Jingsheng released the restraint of immobilization, the man heaved a sigh of relief, and did not dare to act rashly again.

He ordered his subordinates with a very bad expression: "Tell Aunt Miao about the situation here!"

As he spoke, he continued to stare at Xia Jingsheng, for fear that he would run away.

Xia Jingsheng wasn't nervous at all, he drank his tea calmly, and said to Zhu Bo, "Give me some more."

The more Zhu Bo looked at it, the more he felt that Xia Jingsheng was not simple.

If you were an ordinary person, you would have panicked if you encountered such a situation.

But Xia Jingsheng acted like a normal person, he should eat and drink, his mentality was not normal.

In contrast, the group of people who came to find fault were even more anxious. The leading man paced back and forth, looking at Xia Jingsheng with a troubled expression.

When the Miao village rice cakes were served, a woman dressed in traditional Miao costumes entered the room.

The restless man suddenly calmed down, and said respectfully, "Miaogu, you're here."

Xia Jingsheng had just brewed a cup of tea, now he raised his eyes curiously and looked at the woman.

The moment he raised his eyes, he found that the woman was also looking at him.

Two very similar faces appeared in the same time and space, Xia Jingsheng was startled suddenly, and almost blurted out - mother.

Fortunately, he still had a semblance of consciousness, he just clenched his fists and looked at the woman in front of him warily.

The woman has long and straight black hair, her face has no makeup, but she has a kind of cold beauty.

"Miaogu, this is the person I'm talking about!" the man pointed at Xia Jingsheng and said.

Xia Jingsheng and this woman looked so much alike that at first glance, people thought they were mother and son.

"What's your name...?" the woman asked in broken Chinese.

"Xia Jingsheng."

The woman read his name word by word, frowned and said, "You don't want to go back to the village?"

Xia Jingsheng is very perceptive, and the word "hui" more or less proves that his background is related to the village.

As expected, Xia Jingsheng was aroused interest.

He looked directly at Aunt Miao's cold eyes, and said, "I've changed my mind."

So, Xia Jingsheng followed Aunt Miao to a village.

Different from other villages, all the residents in the village in front of us are wearing navy blue national costumes.

Xia Jingsheng observed carefully and found that this stockade was not like other stockades. It was located in a remote location and the density of people was small.

Between people, the emotional attitude is very indifferent.

For some reason, looking at these silent villagers, Xia Jingsheng always thought of Aunt Miao's expression.

There is a trace of alienation in the desertedness, which is not human.

"You just stay here, and I'll let someone clean up your residence." Gu Miao said this bluntly, without any foreshadowing at all.

Xia Jingsheng didn't mind at all, he looked around and saw that this was a traditional Miao-style dwelling.

The furnishings in the room suddenly reminded him of the details of his grandmother's house that day, and now he can see that they all match up.

The ancestor worshiped by the Miao family is indeed Chi You, and they also have their own unique totem worship.

Xia Jingsheng could almost conclude that he would definitely find the answer about his life experience here.

What Xia Jingsheng didn't know was that the front hall was extremely lively at the moment.

A group of Miao people are discussing about him.

"He must be Peng Yue's son!" Someone said, "Peng Yue was extremely talented back then, if she hadn't insisted on escaping from the village, she must be the most outstanding Miaogu in the past."

As soon as this remark came out, someone immediately scolded: "How dare you speak in front of Sister Tian!"

After hearing this, Peng Tian didn't feel much.

She and Peng Yue are twins. She has long been used to being compared with her sister since she was a child. Peng Yue is better than her in every way.

It's like so many years have passed, even if Peng Yue didn't want to stay in the village and left without telling everyone, it still couldn't cover up the radiant impression Peng Yue left on everyone.

"Sister Tian is powerful, but Peng Yue is even more powerful. Just now at Zhu Bo's house, Xia Jingsheng fought against a group of people by himself, and he was not at a disadvantage." man.

He felt Xia Jingsheng's strength most intuitively, and he had to admit that he was completely incapable of parrying.

"The catastrophe is coming soon, I think it's better to find someone with strong ability to protect everyone." Someone suggested.

When the catastrophe was mentioned, everyone fell silent.

In the end, it was Peng Tian who said: "Since everyone agrees that the capable should live, let's try it out."

This is the fairest way.

Peng Tian didn't want to rely on his age to overwhelm others, so he asked his eldest apprentice to compete on his behalf.

It was under such an opportunity that Xia Jingsheng met Fan Jin.

Unlike everyone in the village, Fan Jin's skin was fair, tall and thin, and he was wearing a pair of dioramas, as if he had read a book.

His attitude towards Xia Jingsheng was lukewarm, and he came straight to Xia Jingsheng after receiving the order from Aunt Miao.

"Competition?!" Xia Jingsheng asked in surprise, "But why?"

Fan Jin frowned and said, "I want to compete with you."

Xia Jingsheng did not object to this, since he planned to stay in the village for a period of time to find out the truth, since he came, he would be safe.

Since Fan Jin wanted to compete, Xia Jingsheng was also willing to accompany him.

Fan Jin secretly watched Xia Jingsheng's every move. Xia Jingsheng's movements when making tea were quite elegant. Although it was a very simple room, Xia Jingsheng felt like he was in an elegant room.

"Taste it." Xia Jingsheng handed the cup to Fan Jin and chuckled lightly.

He smiled more elegantly and calmly, Fan Jin's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly felt very thirsty.

He swallowed the tea in one gulp, and pushed the cup towards Xia Jingsheng as if it was not enough.

Xia Jingsheng laughed and said: "Tea needs to be tasted carefully to see the truth. If you are so impatient, don't you waste a lot of taste?"

Fan Jin was blushed by the words, clutched the cup in his hand, and raised his voice: "You don't care! I like to drink like this!"

Xia Jingsheng smiled and stopped arguing with him.

Fan Jin's eyes were always on Xia Jingsheng, hoping that Xia Jingsheng would talk more, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Xia Jingsheng.

During the battle between heaven and man, Xia Jingsheng took the initiative and said, "Mr. Fan?"

"Huh?" Fan Jin came back to his senses, looked at Xia Jingsheng with wide eyes, and said uncomfortably, "Just call me Fan Jin."

"Tell me about the basic situation of the village." Xia Jingsheng was interested in the history of the village, so he took the opportunity to match Fan Jin's words.

According to Fan Jin, this village is different from other villages. This village belongs to the black Miao people. The villagers wear navy blue Miao clothes and black headscarves every day.

And Peng Tian is unique in the village.

Legend has it that a prophet passed by the village, received the warm hospitality of the villagers, felt grateful, and made predictions for the future development of the village.

This prediction turned out to be problematic.

The years in which the village will encounter disasters are listed one by one.Some of these disasters are natural disasters, and some are man-made disasters. Forecasting can only show the general direction of things, but cannot know the final outcome of the event.

And Aunt Miao is the key role in guarding the village.

Everyone believed that Aunt Miao had the ability to predict and avoid good and bad times, leading the village to defeat disasters again and again, but Aunt Miao had to pay a price to do this.

Speaking of this, Fan Jin paused, and Xia Jingsheng saw the hesitation flashing across his face.

"What price?" Xia Jingsheng asked curiously.

"Never marry or have children for life." Fan Jin replied.

Xia Jingsheng was taken aback. For a woman in her prime, loneliness is a chronic poison.

Being unmarried and infertile for life means that there will be no caring partner, and no lovely children to fill the gap in life.

Dedicating oneself to the whole village is the greatness of Gu Miao, so everyone in the village respects Gu Miao very much.

Xia Jingsheng thought of Peng Tian, ​​that lonely woman who was also guarding the village and her home day after day.

"Aunt Miao...how was she selected?" Xia Jingsheng asked puzzled.

As soon as these words came out, Fan Jin knew that Xia Jingsheng had no idea about the role of "Miao Gu", so he shook his head and said, "Miao Gu was not selected, but inherited by a fixed family bloodline."

"Fixed family bloodline?" Xia Jingsheng asked doubtfully.

"It's the Peng family. The descendants of the Peng family are very talented in geomancy and can often learn without a teacher, so the village defaults that the descendants of the Peng family will guard the village." Fan Jin said.

In the Peng family, Xia Jingsheng's heart skipped a beat.

He still remembered that that day when he was looking through the book of life and death in the underworld, in his mother's book of life and death, it was clearly written that Peng Yue was from Guicheng.

Now everything is clear, Xia Jingsheng's mother's surname is not Lin, her surname is Peng, and she is from the Miao Village in Guicheng...

what is it then?

Xia Jingsheng couldn't connect Peng Yue with the cold "Miaogu", he was full of doubts, and asked tentatively: "In these years, is there anyone who doesn't want to be Miaogu?"

Fan Jin stared at Xia Jingsheng for a while, and said with a smile, "Of course there is. If you think about it carefully, that person has something to do with you."

When Fan Jin said the name Peng Yue, Xia Jingsheng's heart tightened suddenly.

Peng Yue was expected to learn all kinds of magic since she was a child. She is the eldest daughter of the Peng family, so she is naturally the No. 1 choice of Aunt Miao.

But Peng Yue didn't want to live such a life, she wanted to go outside and have a look.

When she uttered this idea for the first time, she encountered fierce opposition, but the reprimand from her elders did not make Peng Yue shrink back, on the contrary, it made her yearn for the outside world even more.

On the one hand, she "obediently obeyed" and tried to paralyze her opponent, on the other hand, she started planning to escape.

She told no one about this plan.

Finally, late at night, she managed to avoid the guards' sight and left the village.

In just a few words, Xia Jingsheng listened intently, and his mood was affected by Peng Yue's every move.

Just as he was getting excited, Fan Jin suddenly stopped talking.

Xia Jingsheng frowned and said, "What happened after she escaped?"

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I haven't heard about her for many years. Maybe she's long gone."

Xia Jingsheng's heart skipped a beat, he always felt that Fan Jin meant something, and what he said today seemed to be intended for him.

"If it were me, no matter how difficult it was, I would persevere." Fan Jin said, "Everyone says that Peng Yue is the most talented and the most suitable person to be Miaogu, but I don't think so." Fan Jin said.

"She has no sense of responsibility and mission on her shoulders, she is too weak."
