Just after I sealed the dragon's mouth, a scream suddenly came from inside the villa. A maid, as she was coming downstairs, fell and rolled down, breaking her leg instantly. Her calf was deformed.
I opened my spiritual eyes and saw that everyone in the villa had the sign of bloodlight on their heads. This was the beginning of the returning dragon—Su family's fortune was being disturbed, turning from good to bad.
Fortunately, I had sealed six dragon mouths in advance; otherwise, this disaster of bloodlight would have been a matter of life and death.
I shouted, "Everyone, stay calm, find a place to sit, and avoid moving as much as possible."
After calming everyone down, I called for an ambulance. Soon, the ambulance arrived and took the injured maid away.
At this point, Su Dazhuang couldn't sit still anymore. He asked me, "Li Yang, what's going on?"
I explained, "Grandfather, the situation on your parents' grave is called 'the poisonous snake coiled around the waist.' Initially, I thought someone was trying to harm you, but fortunately, Left Dao Ran saw through the mystery. The person trying to harm you was aiming to kill two birds with one stone. While harming you, they also used the snake form to manipulate the earth's veins, creating a returning dragon interception formation."
"With this formation, the person can steal Su family's fortune, surpassing you in certain matters."
Su Dazhuang seemed confused, "Isn't that a good thing?"
I nodded, "It is good that the fortune is returning, but the returning dragon can be too strong. In the short term, it can disrupt Su family's fortune and the bloodlight disaster will occur."
"Don't worry, I've sealed six dragon mouths, so the returning dragon won't be too fierce. Everyone should stay seated, and once the returning dragon ends, Su family's fortune will return, and the bloodlight will disappear."
Su Dazhuang sighed with relief, but then thought of something and suddenly became angry. "It must be that old fool Yi Jiangnan! He couldn't compete with me in the restaurant business, so he resorted to these dirty tricks."
I took the opportunity to say, "It's good that Grandfather has my second uncle as a son-in-law. Otherwise, we would have really been harmed by this villain."
Upon hearing this, Su Dazhuang's face immediately drooped.
Seeing this, I didn't dare to say more.
My second uncle, looking uneasy, didn't come until after dark, driving Su Yimei's car.
This scene immediately caused Su Dazhuang, who had been in a better mood, to puff up in anger.
I couldn't help but be frustrated with my second uncle. Why did he have to provoke the old man like this?
When my second uncle entered, he had the same arrogant look, not even acknowledging Su Dazhuang.
The two of them met like two angry bulls.
I explained the situation to my second uncle, and he said, "If the enemy comes, we'll face them head-on. Yang Yang, don't get involved in business conflicts. Just deal with the person behind the scenes."
I nodded.
I believe Su Dazhuang can handle business matters on his own.
While chatting, I showed my second uncle Left Dao Ran's handscroll.
He was astonished by its contents and asked, "What's his name?"
"Left Dao Ran!"
"Ah!"
My second uncle sucked in a cold breath, his expression suddenly becoming serious. "Yang Yang, do you know who he is?"
I shook my head.
My second uncle took a deep breath and said, "Left Dao Ran, he's a genius who appears once in a hundred years, a master of Daoism. His handscroll is something countless people would die for."
"You're lucky, it seems like your grandfather wasn't wrong after all."
Geniuses are rare, but in the entire mystical world, they aren't that uncommon.
However, those who are called "masters" are few.
And this handscroll is equivalent to Left Dao Ran's teachings.
The method to suppress the returning dragon mouth is found in the book, and it's effective.
I'll definitely learn from what's inside.
What made me uneasy was that Left Dao Ran is an elder at Longhu Mountain.
If news of me possessing the handscroll spreads, it could attract dissatisfaction and demands from Longhu Mountain.
My second uncle also advised me not to show it to others and to keep it with Xiao Cui if possible.
The only other people who knew about it were Su Dazhuang, so I quickly warned him.
Old Dazhuang promised he would never mention it to anyone else.
I trust the old man's word.
But then, when my second uncle and Su Dazhuang exchanged looks, the two of them immediately started arguing.
Su Dazhuang scolded, "You're a good-for-nothing, only relying on your woman to live off her."
My second uncle didn't hold back either, retorting, "I'm driving my wife's car. Are you jealous? If it weren't for me, you would be in your coffin tonight!"
I was getting a headache and quickly tried to intervene.
But that only resulted in them telling me to shut up.
They are both elders—what can I do but avoid it?
I quickly stood up and said I would go check on the situation with the returning dragon.
Just as I reached the door, Su Dazhuang's voice, which had been sarcastic towards my second uncle, suddenly stopped.
A group of family members screamed in panic.
I rushed back and saw the old man lying on the ground, his eyes rolled back, and his limbs twitching.
I opened my spiritual eyes and saw that the bloodlight on his head had turned into a black evil aura.
Not only that, but my second uncle was also covered in the same black aura.
If my second uncle was affected, it seemed like I wouldn't escape either.
My second uncle, holding Su Dazhuang, shoved a piece of cloth into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue off.
Though a bit hasty, my second uncle's actions were clearly an act of revenge.
I couldn't care less about that.
The bloodlight turning into evil aura clearly meant someone had tampered with the dragon mouth.
But what worried me the most were my aunt and Tingting. Fortunately, my second uncle had sent them to Huang Xian'er's place when he arrived.
With Huang Xian'er there, they would be safe.
While suppressing Su Dazhuang's condition, my second uncle managed to stabilize him. But when he heard about the new granddaughter, he suddenly couldn't breathe and started twitching again.
I couldn't understand, but I could somewhat empathize with Su Dazhuang's feelings.
I instructed my second uncle to keep everyone inside, then rushed out of the villa to the first dragon mouth.
As expected, the Five Emperor Coins I had placed were gone, replaced by a mass of black substance.
Su Dazhuang's body had been affected—this was the cause.
I pulled out my blood刺 and was about to get rid of it when the thing suddenly came to life. It began to crawl up the刺 towards my hand.
When I saw it clearly, I realized it was a black venomous snake, which immediately opened its mouth to bite me.
I quickly swung my hand, using the sharp edge of the刺 to slice the snake in half.
Then I moved on to the next dragon mouth.
Along the way, I was extra cautious, always keeping an eye on my surroundings.
Because the person behind this seemed to specialize in poisonous snakes, it was probably related to venomous insects or even "cultivation" practices.
And the person was likely still in the courtyard.
I didn't rush to find the person but first needed to clean out the poisonous creatures in the dragon mouths. If Su Dazhuang was to die tonight, it would bring a lot of resentment from Su Yimei towards my second uncle.
This was something I couldn't let happen.
I found the second dragon mouth, where the Five Emperor Coins had been replaced by a blood-red centipede about the size of my thumb.
Five poisons?
I frowned.
If the goal was merely to intercept wealth, using such methods seemed excessive.
But in the business world, such underhanded tactics weren't unheard of.
Dirty tricks often go beyond ordinary imagination.
As I headed to the third dragon mouth, Huang Jiu crawled out from the flower bed.
Seeing it, I felt a little relieved.
