Chapter 545 The Secret of Weijia Village
"Brother Chen, they are already waiting in the reception room." Mr. Hu said as he led them to the door of the reception room.
Chen Yile reached out and pushed open the door. The door hinges creaked, like the whispers of ghosts from the past.
When I walked into the reception hall, I saw people from the Wei family sitting on one side of the hall, their faces full of anxiety and uneasiness.
When Mr. Hu saw Chen Yile coming in, he hurried to greet him.
Chen Yile walked straight towards the Wei family members, his eyes sharp, as if he could see through their hearts, and asked, "Is your Wei family hiding something from us? About that villa?"
The people of the Wei family looked at each other, with hesitation and fear in their eyes.
An old man slowly spoke: "This... this is a long story, Mr. Chen."
Chen Yile's expression became more serious, and his voice was deep and powerful: "To make a long story short, this concerns the lives of many people."
The old man sighed and said, "That villa was originally our Wei family's ancestral home. Many years ago, a great war broke out there, and many people died. Since then, supernatural phenomena have often occurred. We don't know why, but we only know that those who died seemed to harbor resentment."
Chen Yile pressed on: "What about the suppressed ashes?"
The old man replied:
"Those ashes belong to our Wei family's ancestors. They lived in Weijia Village back then. One quiet night, a group of ghostly soldiers stormed into the village and killed everyone, old and young. No one was spared! The people of the Wei family today are descendants of the survivors of Weijia Village who left to work elsewhere."
Chen Yile nodded slightly, his expression solemn, a trace of compassion in his eyes, and said:
"I understand. We were massacred and suppressed after our death. It was indeed tragic. However, we are all members of the Wei family. Those three little ghosts said they were the spirits of your ancestors. Why did they target you?"
The old man just kept sighing, his eyes dodging, not daring to look directly at Chen Yile, his lips trembling slightly, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, obviously hiding something.
Chen Yile frowned, his eyes became sharp, and he said directly:
"You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I don't want to help you anymore. But we only have seven days."
When the old man heard this, he raised his head hastily, his face full of anxiety and fear, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and said:
"Mr. Chen, don't be like this. If you don't help us, everything will be over! Okay, I'll tell you the truth."
"This is because they always harass guests who come to the Wei family, and a big incident happened a few days ago."
"There's no other way. We can only seek help. My son Wei Gang has a girlfriend named Su Ling. She said she knows some Taoist magic and is willing to help."
"Who knew that after she started the ritual, not only did nothing improve the situation, but she also angered the ancestors, leading to this situation."
Chen Yile raised his head, his eyes slowly swept over the Wei family members present, and asked loudly:
"Which of you is Wei Gang?"
The old man waved his hands quickly and said:
"No one. Wei Gang sent Su Ling home. Su Ling was slightly injured during the last ritual."
Chen Yile thought for a moment and asked:
"Then do you know what Su Ling's background is? Anyone who studies Taoism must have a master!"
The old man shook his head helplessly, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and said:
"I don't know. The girl refused to tell me."
Chen Yile folded his hands in front of his chest, with a serious expression, and said:
"One last question. Do you know who suppressed the ashes in Weijia Village?"
The old man sighed heavily, his body slightly hunched, as if his spine was bent by the years and memories, and he said slowly:
"It's said that those ghostly soldiers were a result of a spell cast by someone. It was originally intended to fight the enemy, but it failed and the innocent people of Weijia Village were massacred. The spell used to suppress them was also created by a Taoist priest. We only know his surname is Zhou. He left a message saying that if we need to lift the suppression in the future, we should look for his descendants. But we have searched for years and haven't found them."
Chen Yile exhaled lightly, his expression relaxed slightly, and said:
"Alright, I know everything. So, you can go back to the villa. I've already made an agreement with your ancestors that they won't cause any trouble for seven days. When you go back, you must provide for your ancestors and clean the house. Leave this matter to me."
The old man immediately shook Chen Yile's hand excitedly, his hands trembling slightly, tears flashing in his eyes, and said:
"Thank you so much, Mr. Chen. By the way, Mr. Chen, could you please tell me approximately how much it would cost?"
Chen Yile gently withdrew his hand and said calmly:
"Prepare it yourself, I'll give you the bill when I'm done."
The old man nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yes, yes, anything is fine as long as this problem can be solved."
Then Chen Yile's cell phone rang. Chen Yile frowned slightly, apologized to everyone, stood up and walked quickly to the outside of the reception room to answer the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, Cui Jian on the other end asked loudly:
"Mr. Chen, why did you run away? Of course you're needed at the celebration party. You're embarrassing me!"
Chen Yile showed a hint of apology on his face and said:
"I'm a supernatural broadcaster. Human life is more important than a celebration banquet. Of course, I'll make it up to you. Let's arrange another joint live broadcast with the Iron Eater live broadcast platform. I'll decide the content."
When Cui Jian heard this, he immediately laughed and said:
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, Mr. Chen. I can arrange it here quickly."
Chen Yile raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said:
"Okay, that's it, Mr. Cui."
After saying that, Chen Yile hung up the phone and turned around to see Hu Sheng and Lin Qingyao also coming out.
Mr. Hu asked with concern:
"Brother Chen, if you want to take over this matter, then we will go investigate the Changsheng Sect. Of course, if you need anything, you can come to me."
Chen Yile nodded slightly, with gratitude in his eyes, and said:
"Well, thank you. Let's go first. We have to go back and prepare."
Mr. Hu smiled and said:
"Okay, take care, Brother Chen."
Chen Yile brought Lin Qingyao out of the underground base and walked into the supermarket. The supermarket was bustling with people and brightly lit, but Chen Yile's mind was entirely on the Wei family's affairs.
He walked hurriedly, quickly picking some food from the shelves, while Lin Qingyao followed him silently, occasionally helping him get some things.
Chen Yile put the food into the shopping cart and whispered:
"Qingyao, this matter is not simple, we must deal with it carefully."
Lin Qingyao nodded gently, her eyes firm, and said:
"Well, I will always be with you."
Chen Yile looked at her, a warm feeling welling up in his heart, and said:
"I feel much more at ease with you here."
After buying the things, they returned to the villa with bags.
Chen Yile and Lin Qingyao returned to the villa carrying bags. As soon as they stepped into the house, Wang Jiajia and Li Yaoyao came to greet them like two cheerful little birds.
Wang Jiajia's eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation. She kept looking at the shopping bags and asked eagerly, "Brother Chen, what delicious food did you buy?"
