Chapter 47

According to Wen He, Bai Buran came to Yujing City seven years ago and has since gained a firm foothold here.

The incident Wang Tiantian mentioned happened four years ago, at which time Night-Bright should not have opened yet.

Previously, Zhang Fan only knew that Bai Buran had some connection with Zhenwu Mountain; otherwise, they wouldn't have entrusted him to him.

But now, learning from Wang Tiantian that Bai Buran actually came from Zhenwu Mountain!?

"He is a Daoist priest from Zhenwu Mountain!?" Zhang Fan was thoughtful and asked casually: "Did he see any tricks?"

"The Daoist priest said... the location of the A1 building is very special. Dongda is already on a dragon vein, but a toxic sore grew on the corner of this dragon vein..."

"The A1 Teaching Building was built on that toxic sore, committing evil and punishment..." Wang Tiantian said solemnly.

"Dragon vein..."

Zhang Fan remained silent. For cultivators, a dragon vein is not just a feng shui treasure land that has seized the creation of heaven and earth; it concerns life and death, involves good and bad luck, interferes with Yin and Yang, and contains heavenly secrets.

He had seen a passage about dragon veins in the 【Dao Secret Record】.

More than fifty years ago, there was a feng shui master in Jiangbei Province who lived a destitute life. Before he died, he called his son to his bedside and urged him repeatedly to bury him in the wasteland behind the mountain after he died, and to bury him naked, upside down with his head facing down.

After the feng shui master died, his son couldn't bear to bury his father naked, so he wrapped the body in a straw mat.

Ten years later, the son became a famous wealthy merchant. At this time, he remembered the feng shui master's instructions before he passed away: if his descendants were to enjoy wealth in the future, they must move the ancestral grave.

Later, the son followed the will and opened the feng shui master's tomb. At this time, everyone discovered that in ten years, the feng shui master's body had not only not rotted, but scales had grown on his body, and his lower body had become like a giant python.

This incident spread widely. Some people said that the feng shui master had found a dragon vein, and burying him head-down could absorb all the earth's energy and transform into a dragon, benefiting future generations. Unfortunately, his son did something extra, wrapping the body in a straw mat, which broke the path to becoming a dragon and instead turned him into an evil dragon. Although there was blessing, it was hidden with danger.

Sure enough, when the son was forty years old, his house caught fire, and thirteen people died, with no survivors.

"Dragon vein... Yujing City is the ancient capital of six dynasties. Although the royal aura has dissipated, it has nurtured many little dragons..." Zhang Fan muttered.

"It's a pity, people nowadays are too deeply poisoned by the mortal world..."

"Zhang Fan..."

Just then, Wang Tiantian's voice pulled Zhang Fan's thoughts back.

"What?"

"Do you know that here... Taoyuan Plaza is also not clean?" Wang Tiantian lowered her voice and whispered.

"I've heard of it." Zhang Fan nodded.

Of course he had heard of it. Taoyuan Plaza's reputation in Yujing City is very big, and the locals call it Taoyuan Corpse Field.

"Actually..." Wang Tiantian hesitated.

"Actually what?"

"You know our company does slimming medical aesthetics... In the half year since I joined, six people have already died." Wang Tiantian's words were shocking.

"How did they die?"

Zhang Fan showed a look of surprise. He hadn't heard a single whisper of this.

"It was classified as a medical accident..." Wang Tiantian said solemnly.

The He family is powerful and has strong connections. Paying some money and settling it privately was the end of it, and it was covered up so tightly that not even a bit of news leaked out.

"What kind of medical accident kills six people in half a year?" Zhang Fan felt it was abnormal.

Everyone has a love for beauty, especially now. Girls love beauty and can endure all pain and costs: whitening injections, hyaluronic acid, bone shaving, implanting prosthetics... They try every possible way to shed their original skin and become more beautiful, like butterflies.

Although pain and costs are inevitable, it shouldn't be life-threatening, let alone six people dying in half a year. It's too unusual.

"There is a problem with our company..." Wang Tiantian looked left and right and lowered her voice.

【Slim Pig】's star project is slimming. They have a slimming oil that is extremely magical. No surgery, no medicine, no exercise, no dieting, just applying it to the whole body can achieve the miraculous effect of slimming.

"Half a month ago, the sixth one died... that was a guest I received..." Wang Tiantian recalled.

The girl's name was Xiaomei. Because her boyfriend called off the engagement, she began to give up on herself, and her weight soared from frantic eating. It was about to break 180 pounds.

Xiaomei was inferior and gluttonous because of this, unwilling to go out and socialize. Her life was almost stagnant and ruined. Her best friend couldn't stand it and brought her to 【Slim Pig】.

"At first, she ordered a course of treatment, three cans of 【Slimming Oil】. That thing is our company's ace product, slightly white, with a bit of a fishy smell..." Wang Tiantian said.

Xiaomei used it for two days, and her waistline slimmed down. Her appetite also became smaller. Seeing the effect, she naturally insisted on using it every day. A week later, her weight dropped by twenty pounds, and her complexion became more ruddy, but the oil was used up.

When Xiaomei came to the company to buy oil again, it was received by the supervisor. It was said that she had used a course of treatment and the effect was already very good, but if she wanted to maintain this effect, she needed the advanced version of the slimming oil.

"The supervisor took her to 【Refining City】, which is our company's core department. Ordinary people don't have permission to enter. I heard that the research and production of slimming oil are there..."

"That's where your company makes money." Zhang Fan understood: "What high-tech is inside?"

"Actually, once, I secretly looked inside through the door, and there was nothing... it doesn't look like a place for scientific research..." Wang Tiantian frowned slightly.

There was only a shrine inside, with a portrait enshrined on it, depicting a strange beast. Its shape was like a pig, thin-skinned and bony, with oily liquid secreting all over its body, and the surroundings were full of eerie bones.

"The incense there is very strong, I didn't see anything else clearly." Wang Tiantian shook her head.

Since then, she had never seen Xiaomei again. Until last week, when Xiaomei's family came to make trouble, she learned that Xiaomei was already dead.

"This... senior, why don't you quit." Zhang Fan said solemnly.

The He family originally had a background of practicing horse-training. According to Wang Tiantian, the company opened by He Fei indeed had problems.

"I have already resigned, today is the last day..." Wang Tiantian showed a relaxed look.

"Zhang Fan, I won't come tomorrow. Senior will treat you to dinner in the evening."

"Okay." Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, but he still nodded.

"Come pick me up from work in the evening." Wang Tiantian showed a sweet smile.

"No problem."

Evening.

Thirteenth floor, the deepest office of Slim Pig.

A wisp of eerie candlelight flickered, reflecting on He Fei's face. There seemed to be a red aura jumping between his eyebrows. The so-called "red-faced" is just like this.

"One more is missing. Seven sacrifices are ready, the dragon's teeth are holding the corpse, and then dragon saliva will be born..."

The low, slightly magnetic voice came from the corner.

"More than twenty years ago, because of the guidance of a master, my He family soared into the sky... That person said that the He family would have twenty years of great luck, and after twenty years, we would have to choose again. Life, death, disaster, and fortune are all in a single thought." He Fei looked at the corner and said in a deep voice.

"You have already made the best choice. Once the dragon saliva is refined, the He family will be yours, and you can seize another twenty years of luck." The low, slightly magnetic voice sneered.

"At that time, I will help you... not a single person from Night-Bright will be left." He Fei said faintly.

Guangling City, a construction site.

In the scorching summer, a lean and capable man sat in an open space, surrounded by steel and cement. He looked at the sky, thoughtful.

"Old Zhang... you're not sleeping again."

Just then, an old man full of alcohol staggered over.

"Can't sleep." Zhang Lingzong said casually.

"You have such good energy... not sleeping all night, missing home?" The old man grinned and laughed.

"The kid in our family graduated this year..."

"Tsk tsk, so he started to endure the beatings of society... I see, you are worried about your kid, afraid that he will be bullied outside?" The old man laughed.

"Think about it, young man, suffering a little is a good thing."

"He has suffered enough..." Zhang Lingzong looked in the direction of Yujing City and muttered softly: "If someone really bullies him..."

At this point, a look of indifference flashed in Zhang Lingzong's eyes, and then he turned and walked back to the construction shed.

"What absolute?"

The old man was stunned for a moment. In the end, he only heard two words.
