The village of Ancient Well Village beca famous because of the so-called Conception Well, and was nad after it. Nowadays, there are over 200 villagers, but there are few elderly won. They are either young or in their pri, yet they lack the youthful radiance that should accompany their age, instead appearing withered.
Everyone here has a slightly swollen belly, whether adults or children, their bellies slightly protruding, resembling that of a frog.
When Qin Liuxi and Si Lengyue entered the village, they felt an extre yin energy. With a slight pause in her step, she leapt upwards, surveying from above, made a few calculations with her fingers on her knuckles, then descended.
"The village’s terrain is shadowed, the archway at the village entrance is located in the northeast position, known as the Ghost Gate in feng shui. With the archway set at the Ghost Gate, it is equivalent to opening the Ghost Gate to summon evil spirits, hence this village is perpetually surrounded by yin energy, causing an imbalance of yin and yang, resulting in a Lonely Yin Evil configuration," Qin Liuxi said. "Even without those parasites, living here long-term will lead to misfortune, short lifespan, affecting offspring, possibly resulting in no children or serious illnesses, eventually turning into a Ghost Village."
This Lonely Yin Evil is also an excellent place for Gathering Yin and Refining Evil.
Si Lengyue said, "But in this village, though the yin energy is heavy, I haven’t seen any evil."
"Either they fear a stronger presence, or they’ve been consud. Otherwise, in such a pri location for nurturing yin souls, they wouldn’t miss the opportunity," Qin Liuxi said.
Evil yin souls love yin and are willing to inhabit yin-related items like yin wood to nurture their souls, but if they are willing to avoid it, it is to evade a stronger force.
Humans seek prosperity and avoid danger, and so do ghosts.
The survival of the fittest is a commonality across every food chain.
The two stood at the village entrance, soon attracting the villagers, who boldly examined them, as if weighing and probing why girls as beautiful as goddesses were here.
"Who are you? What’s your business in our Ancient Well Village?" A man with the bone structure of a thirty-year-old but appearing fifty, looked at them with an unabashedly greedy and lascivious gaze.
With a glance, Qin Liuxi noticed that everyone here had slightly protruding bellies, won especially looking gaunt, their faces a pale bluish hue, eyes dull and lifeless. But on closer inspection, there seed to be sothing fleeting in their eyes.
They held their children, faces numb, looking like a stagnant pool, seeming to have no interest in anything.
"We’re looking for the ancient well."
"Are you here to seek Divine Water?" The man’s brows raised, his gaze fell impudently on their abdons.
Si Lengyue’s eyes turned cold, and with a flip of her wrist, a wisp of witch power, white and as delicate as silk, shot from her hand and wrapped around the man.
The man let out a miserable cry, clutching his stomach and rolling on the ground.
The village inhabitants of Ancient Well Village were startled by the sudden scene.
Qin Liuxi said to Si Lengyue, "What would happen if you extracted the poisonous insect from his body?"
"He would likely die." As Si Lengyue’s hand was about to move, Qin Liuxi said, "Wait, more people are coming."
Si Lengyue looked over and indeed saw a group of villagers approaching, carrying farming tools and other items.
Leading them was an elderly man with a head full of grey-white hair, although his belly was also round, his complexion wasn’t bluish but ruddy, his eyes were sharp and shrewd.
The villagers addressed him as the village chief.
Qin Liuxi’s expression grew very cold, and Si Lengyue also frowned. This man had a heavy aura of bloodshed, chaotic and malevolent, carrying many killings.
The village chief looked at the man rolling on the ground and asked, "What’s wrong with Zhuzi?"
"I don’t know, he suddenly beca like this." Although confused, no one seed overly concerned, whether from being accustod to it or numb indifference.
"Take him away, have him drink so water." The village chief frowned and said, then looked at Qin Liuxi and the others: "What brings you two ladies to our Ancient Well Village?"
Qin Liuxi looked at him and said, "Take us to the ancient well."
"I... alright, ladies, follow , you all disperse." The village chief woodenly turned and led the way, bewildering those present.
Si Lengyue raised an eyebrow at Qin Liuxi, "What did you do?"
"Ti is precious; I’m not inclined to waste words on him," Qin Liuxi said coldly.
For soone with such an aura of killings, she really felt no guilt using the Puppetry Technique on him.
Qin Liuxi directly asked the village chief, "Do you know what’s in that well?"
"God, it’s the Well God." The village chief replied excitedly, "Our village’s Well God is very efficacious, he ensures good weather and abundant offspring, without disasters or hardships, free from illness or pain."
