Fu’er gave a forced smile, "Ancestral figure, you, you should at least leave me some face..."
"Can face be eaten?" Jiangli asked, not understanding, "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, what is there to pretend about?"
Fu’er was instantly rendered speechless.
Xia Xin saw Fu’er’s expression and felt a sense of empathy. He spoke up to smooth things over for Fu’er, "Ancestral figure, exactly what kind of formations are still in this courtyard?"
"A situationally adaptive formation," Jiangli said indifferently. "Ordinary people, who would suppress a corpse beneath their own home? It is only because this residence’s location is somewhat special. Originally, the house lacked balance in Yin, lacked the Azure Dragon Position, and even its Qian (Heaven) Position was Yin-bound, which was unsuitable. It was not appropriate for the living to reside. However, if one were to suppress a corpse here, the clashing Yin energies would instead neutralize the evil spirits."
Xia Xin somewhat understood, "...So, it’s like two negatives make a positive?"
Jiangli pondered for a moment, "Roughly speaking, that’s the idea. Plus, I suspect Fu Yuxing’s destiny is quite strong. For him, this formation is actually complementary. Also, water represents wealth. The Feng Shui Jar might appear to suppress the Array’s Eye, but it’s placed in a wealth position, thus it also has a wealth-gathering effect. The person who arranged this formation, despite lacking Spiritual Energy and insufficient Cultivation Base, showed quite a penetrating talent and skill in setting up formations."
Upon hearing this, Fu’er floated up to a tree, looked down from a superior position, and slowly savored the insights, his expression enlightened.
No wonder he had felt something odd when he was checking underground earlier, but he hadn’t seen through it, thinking it was only a suppression issue.
Fu’er returned and admiringly said, "The ancestral figure is indeed an ancestral figure."
No wonder even the grandmaster was wary of Jiangli in the past.
Back when Jiangli was in the sect, even the grandmaster had to show her some respect. Although she was supposed to be the grandmaster’s disciple, for some reason, she never once addressed the grandmaster as master.
The grandmaster did not treat her like a typical disciple either, and everyone in Xuanmen was extremely respectful towards Jiangli.
Now it seemed, with the ancestral figure’s abilities, it was only natural for Xuanmen to hold her in high regard.
Jiangli ignored Fu’er’s flattery and instead taunted, "I think after being a ghost for over seven hundred years, you’ve forgotten all your own abilities."
Fu’er gave an embarrassed smile.
Jiangli said, "Enough chatter, now is not the time for this. Just now I have already destroyed the Array’s Eye, and soon the Yin Energy will start to seep out."
"Destroyed the Array’s Eye?" Xia Xin was taken aback.
It was at this point that he and Fu’er noticed something had changed with the Feng Shui Jar.
The Feng Shui Jar originally had some decorative clear water and aquatic plants.
But now there were a few rocks added to it.
At first glance, the water in the Feng Shui Jar seemed clear, but on closer inspection, it looked murky, casting a dark and heavy feeling.
But now, with a few rocks thrown in, the water in the Feng Shui Jar seemed to have changed in an instant.
It appeared genuinely transparent, as if all impurities had been filtered out.
Yet, the Yin Energy above the Feng Shui Jar was increasing, as if there was a continuous flow of Yin Energy coming out from within it.
Fu’er anxiously said, "Ancestral figure, are you trying to release what’s underneath?"
"Of course I’m going to release it. Otherwise, how would I go fishing?" Jiangli raised an eyebrow.
Fu’er paused; since when was the ancestral figure interested in fishing?
Xia Xin roughly understood, "Ancestral figure, do you mean to release the corpse’s Wraith below to alert the person who arranged the Formation?"
Jiangli commended, "You are much smarter than this old man."
Ancestral figure, it hurts to hit where it matters.
