Chapter 47: Chapter 45: The Truth "This is impossible!" Zhou Hang immediately became anxious, "My father is the same as Grandpa, how could he possibly die in his sleep? You’re talking nonsense!" Then, Zhou Hang looked at Zhou Zhenggang, "Grandpa, this guy’s a swindler. I think he’s just here to scam us out of money, spouting all this nonsense!" "Shut up!" Zhou Zhenggang roared in anger, the fury apparent in his eyes. "Ye Feng my friend, is there a way to save my son?" Zhou Zhengyuan asked. Ye Feng nodded, "Of course there’s a way, but it will take a bit longer this time, four hours." "Okay then, I’ll have to trouble you, Ye Feng my friend. If you can cure my son and solve our problem, just name your price in the future, and I, Zhou Zhengyuan, will do my utmost!" Zhou Zhengyuan said to Ye Feng. Ye Feng nodded indifferently, "We’ll see, help me take off his clothes..." Jiang Shufen nodded, then took off Zhou Yugang’s clothes, and Ye Feng pulled out his silver needles to begin the acupuncture. Ye Feng once again displayed his miraculous needle technique, leaving the three people utterly dumbfounded. Although Jiang Shufen had already seen it once, she couldn’t help but feel shocked. Zhou Zhengyuan muttered to himself, "So this is how Ye Feng used the needles on me yesterday..." Before long, Ye Feng had finished needling. Nine silver needles were inserted into Zhou Yugang’s body, gradually absorbing the malevolent energy within him. Everyone could clearly see that the dark circles above Zhou Yugang’s eyes had disappeared. Ye Feng said, "His condition is worse than Elder Zhou’s, so he won’t wake up right now. Let the silver needles remain in him for four hours. Once I remove the needles, he will naturally awaken..." "Thank you, Ye Feng my friend!" After hearing what Ye Feng said, Zhou Zhenggang expressed his gratitude. Zhou Zhengyuan asked in confusion, "Ye Feng my friend, how could my son and I have fallen ill with this strange affliction in such quick succession? According to you, we’ve been living here for decades, and nothing like this has ever happened before." Ye Feng surveyed the surroundings, then replied, "Your family has fallen victim to a magician’s curse." "A curse?" Upon hearing this, both Zhou Zhengyuan and Jiang Shufen were taken aback. "Bullshit! Do you think this is a movie? How could anyone be cursed out of nowhere? This is absurd; Grandpa, I’ve been saying this guy is a charlatan. What year is it, for there to be talk of being cursed?" Zhou Hang erupted in anger, his face furious as he stared at Ye Feng. Yet, there was a flicker of panic in his eyes, but it flashed past quickly. After hearing Zhou Hang’s words, both Jiang Shufen and Zhou Zhengyuan nodded, thinking there was reason in what Zhou Hang said. Ye Feng then asked, "Elder Zhou, are you aware of Grandmaster martial artists?" Zhou Zhengyuan nodded, "Of course, I’ve seen one. Grandmaster martial artists are the elite among martial artists, one in ten thousand. I was lucky to see one once. Grandmasters can harm people from afar, catch bullets with their bare hands, leap over ten meters, and have the powerful force of several thousand pounds. It’s terrifying!" "Right, magicians are just a deviant path taken by some martial artists after they’ve strayed. Logically, a magician is far inferior to a martial artist. Given the existence of Grandmaster martial artists, is it so strange to have magicians?" Ye Feng asked. "Indeed!" Zhou Zhengyuan nodded. In his heart, Grandmaster martial artists were akin to superhuman beings; it would take hundreds of soldiers to defeat a Grandmaster, let alone a magician. "It can’t be possible, it can’t be! Where would a magician come from all of a sudden? Grandpa, Grandma, don’t listen to his nonsense!" Zhou Hang bellowed, his attitude towards Ye Feng showing no signs of improvement. "Will you shut up!" Zhou Zhengyuan exploded with anger. Ever since Ye Feng had arrived, Zhou Hang had been causing trouble, which greatly annoyed Zhou Zhengyuan, "If you speak out of turn again, do you believe I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial grandson!" Zhou Hang was so frightened that he shut his mouth and dared not speak further. Zhou Zhengyuan asked curiously, "Ye Feng, our family has been fine all this time, how could we suddenly fall victim to a curse?" "That’s something you might want to ask your dear grandson..." Ye Feng said calmly. "Him?" Jiang Shufen and Zhou Zhengyuan looked at Zhou Hang in puzzlement. Zhou Hang immediately became frantic, his eyes revealing a terrified look, "Don’t slander me, I don’t know anything about curses, why ask me?" "What’s that in your pocket?" Ye Feng asked flatly. "I... I don’t have anything in my pockets?" Zhou Hang’s eyes began to dart around, he looked nervous, completely lacking his previous confidence. "Damn you! What are you hiding? Take it out!" Zhou Zhengyuan shouted angrily. Zhou Hang stammered, not taking out what was in his pocket, "Grandpa, I... I..." "Slap!" Zhou Zhengyuan, in a fury, raised his hand and slapped Zhou Hang’s face hard, "Take it out!" Zhou Hang’s face burned with a hot, stinging sensation, full of agony. Due to his fear of Zhou Zhengyuan, Zhou Hang still took out the items from his pocket. What emerged were two purple talismans with many red cinnabar runes. Zhou Zhengyuan snatched the two purple talismans and handed them to Ye Feng, "Ye Feng my friend, what are these?" Ye Feng took the talismans, examined them for a while, and then said, "Locking Yang Talisman, capable of imprisoning a person’s Essence Energy within the talisman. To put it in mystical terms, it locks away your yang energy. If I’m not mistaken, both you and your son have a Gathering Yang Talisman beneath your beds. The Gathering Yang Talisman and the Locking Yang Talisman are a set. The Gathering Yang Talisman emits malevolent energy that invades the body, making your spirit and physique weak, while simultaneously extracting your yang energy. Then, with the Locking Yang Talisman, it’s sealed within. Over time, when the Essence Energy is all depleted, death follows. Females have a stronger yin energy, so they’re not the target of these talismans, which usually target males." At that moment, Zhou Zhengyuan’s expression turned utterly grim. Turning to Jiang Shufen, he said, "Shufen, go check my room." Jiang Shufen nodded, and after a short while, she came back holding a talisman. "Old man, Ye Feng was right, there really was a talisman!" Jiang Shufen passed the talisman over, then she took out another one from beneath Zhou Yugang’s bed, exactly as Ye Feng had described. "You beast!" Zhou Zhengyuan flushed red with rage and bellowed loudly.
