The so-called sacrificial ceremony is a very special ritual.
This thod of sacrifice was also asked by the ancestors of the Lan Family from the elders of the Tujia Clan.
Every year on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, which is the Ghost Festival, soone needs to lead cattle, horses, and sheep into the Dragon Earth Cave where the Dragon God lives in Nine-Headed Mountain!
If the cattle, horses, and sheep refuse to enter the cave on their own that day, then the person going to perform the sacrifice must bear the Dragon God's wrath and end up mysteriously dead!
After death, the corpse must be taken to the Dragon Earth Cave by the Lan Clan in order to earn the Dragon God's forgiveness!
This ritual can be described as very mysterious and ancient.
It also sounds quite absurd.
No one expected, beneath the surface of a modern tropolis, there would still be such a strange legend!
Li Chuan was also shocked upon learning this.
According to village customs, the person to go for the sacrifice each year is rotated according to the household registration, and this year, it's Lan Xiaohua's family's turn, and they always send the eldest in the family.
That is to say, the one going to the Dragon Earth Cave this year is Lan Yuhai, the third brother of Lan Yubo.
But now obviously things have gone off the plan, as Lan Yuhai's son, Lan Ahlong, doesn't believe in any of this and considers it a backward custom of the clan. When this matter was ntioned earlier, he strongly opposed it.
Because of this, Lan Yuhai and Lan Ahlong had a big argunt!
In a fit of anger, Lan Ahlong secretly went into Jiulong Mountain alone, leading to his current state as seen by everyone.
After returning from the mountain, Lan Ahlong fell into a coma.
Moreover, Lan Ahlong's father, Lan Yuhai, was extrely remorseful. He thought he had offended the Dragon God, so he simply took sleeping pills to commit suicide!
This in turn caused Lan Yuhai's wife to die from the shock as well.
"Sister-in-law, the ti is about right, we can't delay any longer. Let Ahlong be put into the coffin; otherwise, if we miss this ti, we'll have to wait another seven days and the body will start to rot," a middle-aged man reminded again.
Upon hearing this, Li Chuan's heart suddenly moved: "Uncles, why don't you let go to that Dragon Earth Cave and take a look?"
As soon as Li Chuan said this, the room imdiately fell silent.
Everyone looked at Li Chuan with a face of suspicion.
"The Dragon Earth Cave isn't a place anyone can enter! No way!" The middle-aged man finally noticed Li Chuan's presence, "Who are you? Offending the Dragon God will bring disaster upon us!"
"Liu, he is Li Chuan, my savior, and I brought him here with ," Lan Yubo spoke up.
Lan Yubo had significant prestige within the Lan Clan. Once he spoke, the surrounding Lan Family mbers' gazes towards Li Chuan relaxed.
The middle-aged man nad Liu said, "The Dragon Earth Cave is a forbidden area; it's best for outsiders not to go."
"What if I have a way to wake Uncle Ahlong?" Li Chuan suddenly said.
"What?"
Li Chuan's words startled everyone.
Because over the centuries, once the Dragon God was offended, no one was able to escape misfortune.
They hadn't not tried, but all ended in failure!
Now, with Li Chuan suddenly saying this, everyone was montarily at a loss.
It's not that they didn't believe in science, but they had experienced too much, and the fear of the Dragon God was deeply ingrained!
For example, Li Chuan himself couldn't explain the miracles of the Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique and the Ghost Gate Pulse Technique.
So, to make the Lan Clan people believe in him, he knew he could only first show a bit of his true skills.
"Little Divine Doctor Li, are you serious?" Although Lan Yubo knew Li Chuan's dical skills were high, the current situation couldn't be resolved by re dical skills.
"Please, save my dad!" Lan Xiaohua looked at Li Chuan with expectation, his face full of pleading.
anwhile, the middle-aged man called Liu was both surprised and frightened after hearing Li Chuan's words.
Because what Li Chuan had just said had already offended the Dragon God!
Liu was a geomancer from the old street, passed down generation after generation, and from his ancestors, he knew very well that the Dragon God inside the Dragon Earth Cave wasn't a fabrication!
If Lan Ahlong was awakened, it would an going against the Dragon God!
So the mont he heard Li Chuan's words, Liu had already decided he would never let Li Chuan proceed!
An outsider could offend the Dragon God and walk away, but what about the people living on the old street?
Just as he turned to Li Chuan, about to stop him, Li Chuan's eyes suddenly flashed, and the words that ca out of Liu's mouth changed:
"Alright, if you can wake Ahlong, that would be great."
With these words, those in the room showed a peculiar expression.
They were curious why Liu would actually agree!
However, since it was soone the clan leader valued, they assud he must have true skill, and they held so expectation in their hearts.
What they didn't know was that Li Chuan had used a secret technique from the Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique to hypnotize this geomancer nad Liu.
Because he had just sensed how reverential this middle-aged man was towards the so-called Dragon God, there was no way he would agree with him.
Now, without this obstacle, he imdiately went to Lan Ahlong's bedside and began quietly observing Lan Ahlong's condition.
At this mont, Lan Ahlong's complexion was sallow, surrounded by wisps of black air, particularly the few wrinkles on his forehead, where the black air was especially prominent and still moving!
After seeing this scene, Li Chuan had already determined that Lan Ahlong was possessed by Yin Evil!
The so-called Yin Evil, to put it bluntly, is Piao, in remote rural areas, it's a ghost!
If he hadn't happened to co here today, Lan Ahlong's fate would be to enter the coffin!
Fortunately, he ca.
After carefully observing for a while, Li Chuan stepped forward again to examine Lan Ahlong's eyelids.
Underneath Lan Ahlong's eyelids, wisps of black mist were also visible!
Of course, ordinary people couldn't see it.
In the Feng Shui realm, the best way to see a person's physical condition is through their eyes.
Even in traditional Chinese dicine, one can judge a person's physical condition by simply looking at the eyes.
Whether the kidneys are weak, whether there's excess liver fire, whether there are other ailnts, almost everything can be seen directly from the eyes.
"Little Divine Doctor Li, how is it? What's wrong with my third brother?" No one else dared to speak, only Lan Yubo dared to ask.
"Don't worry, I am confident." Li Chuan spoke in a steady tone, "I need so things: incense, copper coin paper, a rooster with a red comb over three years old, vermillion, black dog blood, a compass…"
To clear the Yin Evil from Lan Ahlong's body, these are all necessary items.
"Alright, there's no problem with these." After hearing Li Chuan's words, Liu nodded.
He was a geomancer himself, so getting these things was easy.
But now Liu had already gotten so sense back, and although he agreed verbally, there was still so reluctance in his heart.
Soon, everything was prepared.
"Young man, your items are here." When Liu returned, he looked at Li Chuan with a hint of provocation.
