Chapter 874: Green snake seduces the soul? Brother Lang is not panicked at all

The next morning, the Truman Group's luxury motorcade cut through the tranquility of Lake Meilan Central Park like a black dragon.

Before the engine sound completely dissipated, Chu Yiren took Lin Lang's arm, and with the bodyguard opening the car door, she stepped out of the shiny Rolls-Royce.

A dozen bodyguards in black suits instantly surrounded the couple, forming an impenetrable human wall, and escorted them toward the pedestrian entrance of the park. The sound of their leather shoes stepping on the stone pavement revealed an invisible sense of oppression.

The sky was as gloomy as ink, and fine rain suddenly fell, hitting the surface of the lake and splashing tiny ripples.

The bodyguards immediately opened their black umbrellas and built a dome over the two men's heads, which looked like a gangster going out on the street.

"Crack..." A flash of lightning tore through the clouds, followed by a "boom" of thunder rolling across the lake, startling several water birds and causing them to flee in panic.

The rain mixed with a gust of cold wind blew in her face. Chu Yiren subconsciously held Lin Lang's arm tighter. Looking at the lake shrouded in rain and fog, her voice trembled: "Husband, look at how weird this Meilan Lake is. It was sunny when we got up, but it started raining as soon as we got here."

Lin Lang said in a relaxed tone: "Wife, don't scare yourself. The weather in late summer and early autumn in the sea is unpredictable. It rains when it says it will. How can we rely on legends for everything?"

Although Lin Lang said so, Chu Yiren still felt that Lake Meilan was eerie in the gloomy rain.

Lin Lang looked at the redwood forest on the shore that was becoming greener after being washed by the rain, with a smile on his face, "Look at this rainy scene, it adds a layer of ink painting to Lake Meilan. How can it look weird?"

Before he finished speaking, there was another rumble of thunder. Steam was rising from the lake surface. The European-style buildings in the distance were looming in the rain and fog, which was indeed a bit eerie.

Chu Yiren used to be an atheist. It was only after she personally experienced the piling of the Kowloon Pillar Viaduct and the death of Master Zhen Chan that she began to have a reverence for supernatural and metaphysical things.

She took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the lake with Lin Lang.

Looking at Lin Lang, who looked exceptionally calm in the rain, she felt that no matter whether there were any evil secrets hidden in Meilan Lake, she believed that Lin Lang would be able to uncover them.

"Hubby, can you help me check if there is something wrong with the feng shui layout of Lake Meilan?"

Lin Lang stared at the lake in the dense rain with deep eyes, and said slowly: "Wife, the feng shui layout of this Meilan Lake is actually full of mysteries."

"From a big picture perspective, this place is located in Luodian Town, the first ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River estuary. It has inherited 700 years of ancient water town style and has the scale of a market town with 'three bays, nine streets and eighteen lanes'. It is a treasure land for gathering energy and storing wind."

"Lake Meilan Central Park was built with this unique water town street market as inspiration, constructing a three-dimensional spatial hierarchy of 'water, island, mountain, and forest', which should be a dynamic and harmonious Feng Shui pattern."

"The entrance square is themed 'Spring Flowers' and is planted with early cherry blossoms, crabapples and other spring flowering plants, echoing Luodian's tradition of worshipping the goddess of flowers, implying vitality and hope. This is to introduce vitality through the vitality of nature."

"The entrance area is designed in the shape of the Luodian dragon boat. Dragon boats have been used to represent cutting through waves and moving forward courageously since ancient times. From a feng shui perspective, this can boost fortune and bring about a positive development trend."

"The landscape in the park is connected by curved bridges, with boats on the water and moored on the waterside at night. The winding curved bridges can hide the wind and gather the energy, preventing the energy from coming and going directly. The flowing water also symbolizes the flow of wealth. It is a very ideal layout."

Chu Yiren frowned after hearing this. "Hubby, from what you said, could it be that there is nothing wrong with the feng shui layout of Lake Meilan?"

Lin Lang continued, "But there have been many suicides by jumping into the lake. The problem may be the water system itself. Water is extremely important in Feng Shui. Meilan Lake may seem ordinary, but it may actually be hiding hidden dangers."

"This lake was dug artificially. The construction may have destroyed the original energy field veins underground. Or, the shape and depth distribution of this lake are unreasonable, causing the energy field to be disordered."

"Normally, a calm lake surface should be like a mirror, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, if the aura is destroyed, the lake water will instead become a gathering place for negative energy."

"Add to that the rainy day, the mist is thick, and the yin energy is heavier, which further highlights the abnormality of this lake."

Chu Yiren was confused by what she heard. She just felt that Lin Lang was very high-class when he said these words, which gave her a feeling of being unfathomable.

Lin Lang tapped his palm with his fingertips, his eyes becoming sharper in the rain: "The feng shui framework of this lake is still the pattern of 'hiding wind and gathering energy', and no taboos were committed during the excavation and construction."

"Wife, look at the lakeshore, it meanders like a snake's tail, which is a good omen for 'water dragon entering the hall'; the island in the middle of the lake is shaped like a turtle's back, and together with the flying eaves and brackets of the 'Lake Meilan International Conference Center' on the north bank, it forms a 'black tortoise with its head down' momentum. Black tortoise represents stability, and it should suppress the evil spirits of the earth veins."

"The so-called 'green snake bewitching souls' is more like a misunderstanding caused by an imbalance in the aura from the perspective of Feng Shui." Lin Lang chuckled with disdain.

After hearing this, Chu Yiren breathed a sigh of relief, but the expression on her face remained solemn.

Lin Lang raised his hand and pointed to the row of palm trees in the east of the lake that were wet by rain. "The real problem may be the 'air vent', that is, the east entrance of the park faces the main municipal road. The traffic is like a blade, forming a 'road rush'. Although there are rockery screens to block it, if it rains and the humidity sinks, the evil spirit will easily flow into the lake area with the water."

"As for the theory of evil spirits, it is more likely that the low-lying areas have been gathering negative energy all year round, and the psychological suggestion of the suicide incidents has caused a cycle of negative energy and 'resentment'." Lin Lang said in a serious tone.

"Oh? According to you, husband, the story of the Meilan Lake green snake bewitching souls is nonsense?"

"Wife, look at that Nine-Curve Bridge. It is meant to ward off evil spirits, but if the curvature of the bridge deck is not enough, it will cause the aura to become blocked, just like a person's blood vessels are blocked and prone to disease. The blockage of the aura in the earth veins is the root cause of the frequent occurrence of strange things, and it has nothing to do with the sayings of spirits and monsters."

"Hubby, if we rebuild the Nine-Curve Bridge that wards off evil spirits, can we improve the feng shui layout of Lake Meilan?"

Lin Lang did not answer, but was attracted by a wild flower with light blue petals growing by the lake, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Chu Yiren followed Lin Lang's gaze and noticed the wild flowers blooming by the lake, which actually emitted a strange fragrance in the rain.

Lin Lang walked forward quickly, picked a wild flower with light blue petals and smelled it. After inhaling the psychoactive molecules contained in the wild flower, his body shivered involuntarily, and then he became inexplicably excited.

Seeing this, Chu Yiren hurried forward and asked, "Husband, is there something wrong with this wild flower?"

Lin Lang held the freshly picked blue wildflowers in his hand, stood up, raised his eyebrows and said with a sly smile: "Yes, the cause of the continuous suicides of tourists who jumped into the Meilan Lake has been found."

Chu Yiren was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that the Meilan Lake Green Snake's suicide incident is related to this wild flower by the lake?"

"Wife, the pollen of this wild flower contains special chemical components. When it comes into contact with water, it can strongly stimulate the human nervous system, causing hallucinations and mental confusion, causing people to do some dangerous behaviors, and even jumping into the lake to commit suicide after hallucinations.

After hearing this, Chu Yiren was shocked and said, "Oh my God! Husband, what is the name of this blue wild flower?"

Lin Lang looked at the wild flower in his hand, frowned and said, "It is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Great Wilderness Southern Classic" that where the south of the Yellow River meets the sea, 300 miles northeast, there is a grass along the coast of the East China Sea, and its name is the Blue Soul Flower."

"The color of the flower is like indigo, the shape is like butterfly wings, the taste is bitter and cold, and it is very poisonous."

"When it comes into contact with water, its fragrance is so strong that it can spread over a hundred miles of fields. The pollen contains a poison that can confuse the soul. Anyone who smells it will see ghosts and gods, and their minds will be confused. It is especially harmful to those who are depressed, making them lose their minds and thoughts, and they may even have thoughts of suicide. This must be observed."

Chu Yiren was shocked when she heard this and said, "Husband, do you mean that the wild flowers on the shore of Meilan Lake are the blue soul flowers mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas? The strange fragrance they emit when in contact with water can cause hallucinations and mental disorder in people, and make people who are already depressed and prone to suicide have a tendency to jump into the lake and commit suicide?"

Lin Lang replied affirmatively: "Yes, it is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that this blue soul flower, which can cause hallucinations when it comes into contact with water, grows in the northeast of the Qiantang River estuary south of Xiaoshan to Shanghai. I didn't expect that the blue soul flower recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas would actually be discovered in reality."

Chu Yiren's eyebrows were wide open, and she blinked her big eyes. She looked at the blue soul flower that Lin Lang picked with curiosity, and suddenly said, "That's right. In the early spring of this year, after the Meilan Lake Central Park was built and opened to the public, there were no tourists jumping into the lake to commit suicide at the beginning."

"It was not until the rainy season in midsummer when the flowers were in bloom that tourists began to commit suicide by jumping into the lake. This led to rumors spreading among the public, and thus the legend of the green snake in Lake Meilan taking away souls came into being."

"Hubby, you are so amazing. If you weren't well-read and knowledgeable, no one would have thought that the tourists in Lake Meilan mysteriously jumped into the lake to commit suicide. It was not the green snake that seduced the soul, but the blue soul wild flowers on the lakeshore that caused hallucinations when they came into contact with water."

Lin Lang said: "Wife, my mission has been completed. As for the handling of the blue soul flowers on the shore of Lake Meilan, I will leave it to you."

Chu Yiren said, "Then I will send workers to wear gas masks and shovel away all the blue soul flowers on the lakeside to prevent tourists from committing suicide by jumping into the lake due to hallucinations caused by the scent of blue soul flowers."

After hearing this, Lin Lang said, "Wife, you need to call the police to handle this properly. The police will report the discovery of wild flowers of unknown poisonous species, and the agricultural department will intervene in the on-site investigation and send experts to take samples back to the laboratory for testing and research."

"After confirming that the blue soul flower is a poisonous plant, the relevant departments will dig up some blue soul flowers for protective breeding research because they have discovered a new plant species, and then destroy the remaining blue soul flower plants on the lakeshore harmlessly."

"Okay, I understand, husband." Chu Yiren nodded slightly.

Lin Lang raised his wrist and glanced at the time on his watch, then said, "Wife, this morning my sister Wang Yuyan is going to record a new Cantonese album that I created for her, so I have to go back to Maitian Music Company first."

After hearing this, Chu Yiren kissed Lin Lang goodbye in front of the bodyguards, and then sent a Mercedes-Benz sedan from the luxury fleet to take Lin Lang back to Maitian Music Company.

A bodyguard held a black umbrella for Lin Lang and left the shore of Lake Meilan.

Only after she saw Lin Lang get into the Mercedes-Benz, roll down the window in the heavy rain, wave goodbye to her and drive away did Chu Yiren call the chief of the Public Security Bureau of Xiahai City.

A very respectful voice came from the microphone: "Hello, Mr. Chu! What instructions do you have?"

Chu Yiren simply informed the chief of the Public Security Bureau of Longhai City in a cold tone about the discovery of a suspected new plant species, the Blue Soul Flower, on the shore of Meilan Lake, and ordered him to deal with it as soon as possible. Then she hung up the phone with a blank expression.

It has to be said that Miss Chu is an all-powerful figure in the city of Yihai. It is not an exaggeration to say that every coin falling from the sky in Yihai belongs to the Chu family.
