Mu Yunfan!" The grandfather roared his name, scaring my brother into quickly kneeling down.I'm so embarrassed, I'm the youngest here, but I'm the only one standing."Grandfather... he, that person, no,...My brother was being tactful, but I've already picked up on it.
My grandparents are very abnormal. Although they are deeply in love, they are separated by yin and yang after reaching middle age.
The patriarch used a soul tower to gather the yin spirit of his wife, nurturing it in the underground tomb. The spirit became as lively as a living person under this care.
This soul tower draws on the surrounding yin qi and counters the unnatural order of yin and yang, perfectly preserving Grandma's soul.
The Mu family's previous karmic burdens were also wiped away with my involvement in the matter with Jiang Qiyun—because I made a little merit by helping to break through Huangdao Village's Wanghui Nest, and received some compensation.
After that, the Mu family kept a low profile. The grandfather was old and didn't want any more incidents in the family. He restrained his descendants and tried to make the Mu family appear clean.
Because the life back home was peaceful and tranquil, I completely overlooked our family's remaining assets. Plus, my older brother was the head of the household, so I didn't devote much thought to this matter.
Could it be that the soul tower that nourishes Great-grandmother is truly one of the Six Extremities Ghostly Artifacts
More than three years ago, when I first saw Jiang Qiyun manifest, I also had conflicts with some evil esoteric sect masters.
At that time, the Tibetan Buddhist master who performed a ceremony for the Hou family and asked Young Master Hou to pray to the Buddha of Joyful Auspiciousness was actually from Tibet. He also wanted to use Young Master Hou to ask my family for something called an "Octagonal Glazed Bronze Pagoda."
Remembering this, I got goosebumps all over.
After much wandering, the appearance of the copper amulet Buddha and the unusual activity of the demon gods... it turns out there were already some signs back then.
Back then, we were just starting out, naive and clueless, just ordinary people. We couldn't see these intricate connections and chains of fate at all.
My brother saw messages collected from all over the place at Master Hu Qing's, and after searching through some materials with Master Hu Qing, he speculated that these copper amulet little Buddhas were forged seven or eight hundred years ago by Taoist priests who were humiliated by Bian Fa. Some of them, driven by national hatred and personal vendetta, had fallen into the demonic path at that time, becoming followers of the Demon Lord.
There was also a Daoist priest who believed this went against the original intention of Daoist cultivation. Although he cut his hair and changed his clothes, his Dao heart remained unaffected.
He secluded himself in the deep mountains, building a simple hut and practicing diligently. He remained steadfast in upholding his Dao heart, keeping it pure and uncorrupted.
"This Daoist Master is the founding ancestor of their lineage! Although he himself was influenced by the times and couldn't establish a sect, his two disciples inherited his Daoist heart and traveled the world to help people. They were revered by many during times of chaos, and eventually built a small Taoist temple in the mountains, which remains there to this day," said my brother.
Ah, I see. No wonder Master Zong and the others have secret methods to track down the earthly Buddhas and readily take on the responsibility of "eliminating demons and protecting the way."
What should I do I need to go back home and borrow the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda from my grandfather. Two Sixiang Ghost Instruments should be enough to summon back Lin Yanhuan and Chenyan's souls, right
I was holding the phone absentmindedly when a small head suddenly bumped into my leg. Looking down, I saw Yu Gui.
She tilted her head back, reaching up to ask for my phone number.
"Chirp, chirp~~~"
Before I could even say anything, my brother over there heard Yu Gui's voice and his tone changed instantly: "My dear~~~"
I was completely dumbfounded, turned on the speaker of my phone, and handed it to Yu Gui.
Men have no resistance to girls who are both small, cute, and know how to act coquettishly, and Yu Gui is especially good at it. This child's coquetry is never unreasonable, but rather so soft and endearing that it's impossible to resist.
This requires a combination of innate conditions and acquired personality. If you don't look cute and have a bad temper, you won't have such good results.
"Chirp chirp~~~ Mommy's home, why aren't you back yet"
"Go! Chirp will drive right now!" My brother was very enthusiastic.
"Chirp chirp, buy sugar candy."
"Buy!"
I looked at Yu Gui silently and reminded him, “You can’t eat candy, it’s bad for your teeth.”
This warning was pointless. He wasn't scared of me at all; my whole family spoils him rotten. The only person I can yell at is my dad, who I tell not to buy sweets for the kids. I wouldn't dare scold anyone else.
As good parents, everyone at home considers the health of their children and never gives them random things to eat.
Facing such a cute and adorable Yugu, I have no choice but to surrender.
I wonder who she will "be the child of" when she grows up.

Taitong's life was quite legendary. After meeting the love of his life, he also experienced the pain of losing his beloved wife in middle age.
Five Deficiencies and Three Shortcomings are what everyone in this line inevitably endures.
poverty and hardship, widowhood, loneliness, old age, and helplessness... wealth, life, and power... You cannot have both fish and bear's paw. You see things others don't, so you naturally cannot expect a peaceful and prosperous life filled with joy and tranquility.
And because the grandfather was so powerful and domineering, before he met his grandmother in this chaotic world, there were women who had children for him. After meeting his grandmother, he directly sent them away. In my opinion, this seems irresponsible, although I haven't experienced that era. Back then, life was as fragile as paper. The women who received his care were willingly giving birth to children for him. Leaving also meant taking the children with them. Afterwards, there was still some support provided for them.
But he didn't care about these insults at all. After having his grandmother, he was devoted to her with such fervor that it made us younger generations blush. Even now, he is still entangled with the spirit of his grandmother.
Men of the Mu family all have a bit of a playboy air, but each one falls for a lady from a good family.
And my grandfather, as well as my great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather, were all quite subdued under my father's domineering rule. They didn't dare to disobey him. Besides, several of my uncles had already branched out on their own and established their own businesses. Their lives were going well. Only my grandfather had two sons, while the children of my other great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather outnumbered our family.
I don't know what my dad was like when he was young. I don't have a mother, and no one has ever told me stories about my dad when he was younger.
But judging from my older brother's, the fourth son's, demeanor, perhaps my father had a fearless personality when he was young.
There are very few people, even within a whole family, who dare to speak up and ask the grandfather for things.
Even my brother, when he talks about that Soul-Stealing Tower, his voice hesitates.
That tower, in Grandpa's eyes, was probably more important than the family itself.
My brother wouldn't dare to speak up easily. Even if I went to my dad or grandfather, I guess they wouldn't dare to speak either. They would make the rest of the family think we were fixated on that old man's hidden treasure.
But Lin Yanhuan... I really want him to wake up soon.
Without him, I wouldn't be able to handle some official matters at all.
When my brother comes back, we'll go home and talk to Grandpa about borrowing the Soul Suppressing Pagoda.
One problem is, if the Soul-Suppression Tower is removed, what will Granny be living in Wouldn't she be easily caught by messengers from the underworld
I still need to say something to Jiang Qiyun, ask for a favor or something...
Here I was, lost in thought, when suddenly, a figure appeared at the shop entrance. It was Old Man Chen, slurping noodles from his bowl without even noticing anyone had arrived.
By the time I noticed, he had been standing there for a while.
"You are—"he ground, clearly someone had been here. But how did the Earth God blow out our fireMy brother thought for a moment, reached behind the big willow tree and touched it. It was already open!"Heh heh,...
