426 Burying Living People
Burying living people was an ancient evil technique in feng shui.
This was a secret construction technique. The process was terrifying and evil. It was said that it was first invented by a Feng Shui master.
It was said that when an official was given the task to build a bridge, he encountered a situation where he could not drive a pile into the ground. At that time, he found a Feng Shui master. The Feng Shui master claimed that he had disturbed and angered the god of soil. If he wanted to solve the problem, there was only one way.
That was to sacrifice living people.
According to the Feng Shui master, it was believed that there was vitality in the soil. Every time the soil was dug up, it would destroy the feng shui of the place and attract bad luck. When the building was built on the bones of the dead, it would disturb their rest and anger them. Therefore, accidents often happen during the construction process.
One had to be afraid of the dead. At the same time, one had to sincerely pray for peace so that his wealth, luck, and fate would not be affected by feng shui.
Under such circumstances, the official tried to use living people as sacrifices.
This was also a form of showing respect to the god of the soil. Otherwise, if the god of the soil was offended, not only would the official’s life be in danger, but he might also bring disaster to his family and descendants.
Therefore, until now, there were still some places where poultry and livestock were used as sacrificial offerings in place of humans. This was intended to show respect to the god of soil without breaking the law.
It was strange that after the sacrificial ritual, the pillars that could not be driven into the ground previously magically and easily stuck into the ground. It was said that after the living were sacrificed, this building would not collapse because of natural disasters.
Those who were buried alive were called guardians by the people.
Therefore, it was very likely that the guardians in that bridge had existed for hundreds of years. The bridge that no one had dared to touch for hundreds of years was even more difficult to move.

In the Breeze Villa.
During dinner, Qin Xi told Han Shi about this.
“It sounds very dangerous. I’ll go with you,” Han Shi said firmly with a frown.
Qin Xi didn’t refuse. “You have to be prepared. that thing is not human.”
Han Shi looked at her strangely. “I know. It’s not like I don’t have non-human things around me…”
Qin Xi couldn’t help but laugh. She teased, “I forgot about Jiu Yuan. Alright, we’ll go tomorrow night. By the way, call that guy over. Perhaps he’s from the same dynasty. Perhaps that thing will surrender without us doing anything!”
Han Shi looked at her dotingly. “That’s a good idea. Although I don’t think it’s possible that they’re from the same dynasty, Jiu Yuan can at least help us light the way…”
Qin Xi said, “… You are right.”
The two of them spoke as if no one was around, making Blood Stealer confused. However, he was too embarrassed to ask and could only give Dong Mi a meaningful look.
Dong Mi was actually also very curious. Without thinking, she asked in confusion, “Sister Xi, what are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?”
Blood Stealer nodded and also asked, “Lady Boss, what do you mean by not human? What do you mean they’re from the same dynasty/ Are they from Shangwan Village?”
Saber had seen Qin Xi use a mystic technique. She said that it was a tracking talisman. At that time, he knew that Qin Xi was not a simple divine doctor.
