In order to protect Zhou Zijun from any threats, Zhou's parents did one more thing.
They asked Master Zhao to set up the Five Elements and Bagua array in the manor, so that the manor could only be entered but not exited. Only those who knew a specific route could enter and exit freely.
Obviously, no one else knew about this route except Zhou's parents and Zhou Zifeng. Even Zhou Zijun didn't know because he couldn't be allowed to go out.
The orphans and street children who were found live in this villa. From time to time, people bring food and drink to them, so that they can live a comfortable life.
They don’t need to go to school, they don’t need to work, they won’t be beaten, and they have almost no worries.
Except for a period of time, there will be one less person.
At first, these children didn't know where Shao Shao had gone. They just thought that Zhou's parents had taken them outside, and they even envied others for being able to go out and play.
The number of people is always limited, but Zhou Zijun’s torture and killing is endless. Whenever all the children in the manor are tortured and killed, a new batch of children will be sent here.
Each group of children cannot meet or communicate with each other, so that everyone's information is unequal. As a result, each group of children entering the manor thinks that they have met a kind person and is grateful.
They don’t know that this manor is a magical cave, and once they enter here, their lives will begin to countdown.
So it goes, year after year.
In this seemingly beautiful manor, I don’t know how many innocent children’s souls are buried.
But if you often walk by the river, your shoes will never get wet.
What Zhou Zijun did was not kept secret forever. About half a year ago, several children discovered something was wrong with Zhou Zijun.
First they saw **** knives, ropes and various murder weapons in the tool room, but they didn't know what they were used for.
Later, a heavy rain washed away the land in the back garden, and a severed human hand appeared inside. Judging from the size, it should be that of an underage child.
It’s not that this group of children don’t understand anything. Those street children have also seen murders and dead people outside, and they soon became suspicious of this place.
So, several children joined forces and began to explore this mountain village.
It is a coincidence that in order to make it easier for Zhou Zijun to commit the crime, the Zhou family dismantled all the surveillance cameras in the villa, for fear that any surveillance camera would accidentally capture the murder process of Zhou Zijun and leak it to the public.
Because of this, the children's exploration in the villa was particularly smooth because no one knew what they had done.
In the next half month, the children found many severed limbs buried under trees, corpses thrown into the lake, and residual blood stains hidden in the cracks of rockery rocks.
After having doubts in their hearts, the children became cautious and began to pay attention to everything in this villa, and soon discovered what Zhou Zijun had done.
At that time, the children understood that they were all prey prepared for Zhou Zijun. When Zhou Zijun became more animalistic and wanted to kill, they would become lambs to be slaughtered.
Everyone cherishes their lives, no one wants to die, and it is a tragic death.
The children thought about uniting to resist Zhou Zijun's evil deeds. They cooperated to build a mechanism and vowed to help each other and escape from here.
So, when Zhou Zijun once again chose a target to attack, he hit a brick wall.
The two sides chased and fought, and the children deliberately lured Zhou Zijun to the lake. They had already poured oil on the lake, making it very slippery.
Zhou Zijun accidentally stepped on the oil at the edge of the lake and slipped into the lake. The children kept beating him with poles to prevent him from getting up.
Zhou Zijun was already physically weak, and he had always relied on the children to be unprepared for him, so he was able to succeed again and again. This time, when the children were prepared, he had no choice but to drown in the lake on his family's estate.
After Zhou Zijun died, the children were a little panicked and thought about leaving the villa:
"He wanted to kill us first, so we fought back. What we did was right, but this matter cannot be known to others, otherwise we will be finished."
"Fortunately, we were all homeless children and orphans before. Even if we are allowed to wander again, it will be nothing."
"Let's divide the valuable things in this villa. Let's leave now. Before we are discovered, escape from here. Once we get out, we will go separate ways. From now on, we will never get together again. Let's take care of ourselves."
This is the best way to avoid detection.
So everyone searched for things in the villa and prepared to leave, but only then did they realize that they couldn't get out at all.
The Five Elements and Bagua array has been set up in the villa, which has a confusing effect. No matter how they go, the people inside will eventually have to return to the main hall entrance.
They tried many times, but never succeeded.
A few days later, all the edible food in the villa was eaten, and the children had not yet escaped, but the Zhou family's parents and Zhou Zifeng came.
They came to deliver food and daily necessities to Zhou Zijun, and stopped by to see if there was anything that needed to be dealt with. However, as soon as they entered the villa, they learned that Zhou Zijun was dead.
The children all agreed and said they didn't know what happened. The Zhou family's parents only thought that Zhou Zijun's death was an accident. Even though they found traces of oil by the lake, they also thought it was Zhou Zijun's death when he tortured others. .
How can they be reconciled to the death of their son, whom they have felt guilty for and protected for more than ten years?
So they called in Master Zhao again.
Master Zhao said:
"When this villa was built, it was a Feng Shui bureau. Even if the young master died within seven days, his soul would still be in this villa. As long as I cast a spell, I can summon his soul back."
“After the soul returns, if you want to resurrect him as a human being, you still need to sacrifice human life and use more life to fill and extend the young master’s life.”
“Using these little beggars to sacrifice can temporarily delay the decomposition of his body. However, because the birth date of this group of people is unknown and there is no way to check their horoscopes, we can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.”
"I will calculate a few horoscopes that are conducive to the resurrection of the young master, and ask you to go out and search for them. Only if you find suitable people, and detain their souls, and stay in my resurrecting array for ninety-nine and eighty-one days, you can bring the young master back to life. ”
"However, even if the young master comes back to life, his soul will still be unstable, but that is a follow-up matter. You can find these people first."
From then on, the resurrection of Zhou Zijun began.
Those children who failed to escape became the first batch of nutrients for this resurrecting array, allowing Zhou Zijun's body to gradually recover and his soul to gradually stabilize.
The Zhou family's parents and Zhou Zifeng used their own connections to find people with similar horoscopes, and used various methods, including but not limited to deception and abduction, to get others to actively or passively give up their souls, and were trapped in the trap. That small porcelain altar provided vitality to Zhou Zijun.
Du Qiaoyue is the eighth person found by the Zhou family. Because she is a young girl, Zhou Zifeng takes the lead, and there is a series of dramas about the rich second generation chasing love, which attracts Du Qiaoyue into the game.
At the same time, in order to leave enough time for the Zhou family to find someone, Master Zhao also cast a spell on some money and asked Zhou Zifeng to distribute it in the form of red envelopes. Anyone who receives the red envelope and spends the money will automatically borrow his life.
If Zhou Ying hadn't accidentally discovered that something was wrong with the red envelope, then after a while, Du Qiaoyue's soul would have been taken away. She lacked a soul, and she would be lying on the bed like everyone else, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
More importantly, no one knew what happened to her at that time, and not even the hospital could do anything.
Just waiting for her vitality to run out and her breath to die.
