Chapter 260 - 257: Resolving the Three Evil Formation
The president of Imperial University was named Yao Jizhong, who hailed from a small county in Hanxi, where his family lived in poverty. Later, he became the top scorer in the province’s university entrance exams and was admitted to Imperial University.
Not only that, but during his time at the university, he had already shown considerable research capabilities, publishing highly influential papers. After graduation, he entered the National Research Institute, contributing to the country’s scientific research.
The successive deaths of his parents and wife dealt a heavy blow to him. At one point, he lost the heart to continue with research, and Imperial University invited him to become president—a role he held for several years.
He gradually emerged from the shadow of his family’s deaths, still dedicating most of his time to working with the National Research Institute. Yet, he hadn’t expected that there was such a hidden secret behind his family’s demise.
Originally, Yao Jizhong didn’t believe in such things, but when his son Xiao Shi was close to being fatally injured as a child, it was Shangguan Jing who employed some mystical methods to save him, forcing Yao to acknowledge their validity.
Shangguan Jing and Shangguan Qiu jointly opened up the Yao family ancestral grave.
During their last visit, they had seen the first evil of the Three Evil Formation inside.
After opening the ancestral grave, Shangguan Jing pointed to a spot.
"This is the first evil, and it is also the primary position of the Three Evil Formation."
This place had many stones arranged into a special pattern, at the center of which was a wooden Xuanwu.
The Xuanwu figurine was about the size of a palm, and within the context of Feng Shui and the Bagua, the Xuanwu side represented the elders. At the time Yao Jizhong repaired the ancestral grave, only his parents were alive.
