Chapter 371: Chapter 371: The Secret Under the Old Locust Tree (3) Chapter 371: Chapter 371: The Secret Under the Old Locust Tree (3) “I cannot really see the specifics in less than twenty years, and I truly feel ashamed.”
“Ashamed of what? We owe a lot to you today, Old Zhang…”
“I merely mentioned the name, but I wasn’t the one to break the curse. It seems that the Feng Shui of Gu Garden is good, and the Old Patriarch’s blessings are profound. Otherwise, opening it so rashly would have been very dangerous. This thing is too sinister, and the one who cursed it is a degenerate from the Mystic Sect.”
It was obvious that no one had discussed these matters with Old Man Zhang for many years.
Once he began talking, he was unstoppable.
The Old Patriarch’s gaze swept toward Qiaoqiao without changing his expression, hiding the relief in his eyes. It was fortunate that Qiaoqiao was here.
It went without saying, it was the moment Qiaoqiao’s hand touched the Little Black Coffin that it took effect.
Gu Tianfeng, who had been silent for a long while, suddenly spoke up, “Elder, what should we do with this Black Coffin?”
“Just burn it directly.”
Uncle Gu took the Black Coffin to the backyard.
The Old Patriarch suppressed his fierce emotion and warmly invited Old Man Zhang into the main living room of the main courtyard.
Gu Qiaoqiao brought over some green tea and placed it on the coffee table, smiling as she spoke, “You’re really amazing. You noticed it right away.”
“I’m old, old. I’m not what I used to be.”
“No, in your profession, the older one gets, the more skilled they should be.” Gu Qiaoqiao praised.
“Skilled or not, it’s of no use now. Nobody believes in these things anymore.” Old Man Zhang said regretfully.
“You’re from the Heavenly Master Sect of the North Third Gate, right?”
“How about Feng Shui?”
“I do have a set of skills in Feng Shui, but it’s no use if no one seeks my services, and my family thinks it’s embarrassing and doesn’t let me do it…”
Old Man Zhang said, somewhat embarrassedly.
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and didn’t speak any further. She did have a general idea, but it needed to be refined step by step, so she couldn’t proceed rashly.
“Old Zhang, you can have lunch here. I have some things I’d like to ask you,” said Tianfeng.
Gu Tianfeng stood up, smiling, “Elder Zhang, you can chat with my grandfather first. Qiaoqiao and I will step out for a bit.”
Old Man Zhang was called Elder Zhang for the first time and immediately nodded with a beaming smile, “All right, all right. You go ahead with your business; I’ll have a chat with the Old Patriarch.”
Gu Qiaoqiao followed Gu Tianfeng out of the living room.
She didn’t know what her father wanted her to come out for.
But perhaps it was because today’s discovery was too shocking and alarming for him.
After all, her father was just an ordinary teacher who had never experienced such things.
It was already quite impressive that he could accept everything so calmly.
The father and daughter walked on the paved path of the main courtyard.
Even with their family living in Gu Garden, it still seemed quiet and spacious.
Qiaoqiao had only learned at breakfast that Gu Zishu had left with Qin Yize.
Otherwise, with the events just now at the Great Pagoda Tree, Zishu’s presence would have surely been there, darting and jumping around.
Maybe, Qin Yize intentionally took her brother away.
Gu Qiaoqiao tilted her head to look at Gu Tianfeng and asked with a clear voice, “Dad, do you have something you want to talk to me about?”
After a moment, Gu Tianfeng nodded, “Yes, Qiaoqiao. Do you think this curse is really that domineering?”
“Dad, you shouldn’t underestimate the wisdom accumulated by our ancestors over thousands of years.”
“I know that. I was just wondering, what kind of grudge does this person hold against the Gu Family to cast such a vicious curse? But it should be ineffective, right? Look at us; we’re all fine.”
Qiaoqiao stopped walking and looked at Gu Tianfeng, who was furrowing his brow.
