The right way to pretend to be inscrutable

Chapter 25 Disputes

Being a Feng Shui master not only requires profound professional knowledge, but also requires a strong physique.Even Feng Shui masters in their seventies and eighties often search for dragon acupuncture points in deep mountains and old forests, and thus develop a good ability to walk on mountain roads.

The Zhou family was either busy with their careers or pampered. They were soon left far behind by Bai Duan, who was walking hurriedly by relying on the spirit-eating ferret's agility, and only Zhao Yu, who was also a Feng Shui master, could barely keep up.

As for Chu Yao, he didn't seem to intend to show off his good skills that are different from ordinary people. He just walked with the Zhou family and fell behind.

Bai Duan shuttled lightly through the mountains and forests, and was soon the first to arrive at the lonely grave where the evil spirit was leaking out.

The solitary tomb happened to be located on the side of a small vein—although it looks small, this vein nourished the entire Xiaocang Mountain and even the surrounding area, and even the Shanghai Stock Exchange received its blessings.

Now, because the solitary tomb has been disturbed by soil, the evil energy in the tomb has leaked out. In addition, the solitary tomb has existed for a long time, and it has a faint smell of sympathy with the earth veins. It's like cutting a hole in a flowing water pipe.The aura in the ground veins flowed into the tomb, was infected with evil spirit, and leaked out. This made the evil spirit in the lonely tomb flow endlessly, spreading to the entire Xiaocangshan area.

Therefore, if you want to solve the evil spirit in the tomb, you must first block the gap on the side of the earth veins. Otherwise, even if the white satin can "eat", it will not be able to "eat" the evil spirit around it. The internal pressure is higher than the external pressure, which makes the aura leak even more.

Although Bai Duan is greedy, he also knows the importance of the earth's veins, and will not do such evil things as "killing chickens and taking eggs" and destroying the environment because of greed for surplus aura or evil spirit.

Seeing Bai Duan staring at the tomb thoughtfully, the second Zhao Yu who came over stood still beside him, and said with admiration: "It seems that Master Bai has already discovered the problem?"

Bai Duan nodded, adhering to the principle of "Less talk and less mistakes" taught by Chu Yao, and only spit out a key word: "Earth veins."

"That's right." Zhao Yu sighed softly, "The evil spirit contained in the solitary tomb itself is not troublesome, but the most troublesome thing is that it is connected to the earth veins, so I have to prepare for the worst and fight with it first , to force back the overflowing evil spirit, and then set up a formation to lock the entire tomb so that it will no longer cause chaos."

Bai Duan frowned: "Why don't you just block the gap in the earth's veins?" Then, he stretched out his hand to Zhao Yu, and said firmly, "Give me the wooden sword on your back."

Bai Duan's attitude was so natural that Zhao Yu subconsciously untied the Seven Star Peachwood Sword, but before he handed the sword over, he suddenly reacted: "What do you want this Peachwood Sword for?"

"Block the gap." Bai Duan glanced at him.

Zhao Yu silently gripped the mahogany sword in his hand a little tighter, and couldn't help raising his voice: "Blocking the gap in the earth vein? Great disaster!"

Bai Duan was puzzled by Zhao Yu's violent reaction, and the Zhou family who caught up panting afterward were also taken aback, asking what happened.

With a helpless tone, Zhao Yu told Bai Duan's plan in a soft voice, and then sighed: "At first, I also thought about this method. It's just that although this ground vein has a long history, it is quite small, and the erosion of the evil spirit makes it difficult The surrounding atmosphere is chaotic, even the Feng Shui compass has lost its effectiveness, it is extremely difficult to determine the location of the breach, and a little carelessness may damage the earth veins and cause a catastrophe."

"What if it hurts the earth's veins?" Zhou Jinhui asked in a deep voice, frowning.

"The function of the land veins is to nourish the land and stabilize the water and soil. If the land veins are damaged, the entire Xiaocang Mountain area will become barren mountains and wild ridges, and even affect the Feng Shui pattern of the Shanghai stock market." Zhao Yu said in a serious tone, "The reason why the Shanghai stock market can One of the most important reasons for becoming one of the best big cities in the country is the water and soil to support people, and once the water and soil are destroyed, the surrounding luck will be ruined, and the consequences can be imagined-this is more serious than the leakage of evil spirits, and It is an irreversible damage that becomes more serious with time."

Hearing this, the Zhou family all changed their faces slightly, only Zhou Jinhui remained calm: "But since this is the first method that Master Zhao and Master Bai considered, it should be beneficial, right?"

"Of course there are benefits." Zhao Yu nodded helplessly, "If we can successfully block the gap in the earth veins, not only will the problems of the Zhou family be solved, but it will also not affect the Feng Shui here. After the evil spirit from the tomb is removed, the Zhou family You can even continue to move the ancestral tombs here and settle down." Touching his chin, Zhao Yu felt a little regretful, "Looking at the final result, this is a good solution once and for all. Blocking the tomb is only a temporary solution, and repairing the gap is the root cause With the former method, once time passes, the evil spirit in the tomb may break through the blockade and make trouble again, so it must be reinforced every once in a while, but the latter will not have such worries."

After understanding Zhao Yu's explanation, Zhou Jinhui nodded slightly.

Blocking the tomb is the golden mean, it can temporarily solve the problem, but it still leaves future troubles, but it is safe.Sealing the cracks in the ground veins is more radical. No matter success or failure, there are two extremes, one is rich and powerful, or the other is bankrupt.

As the person in power of a big family, Zhou Jinhui naturally understands the word "gambling", and also knows how to seek wealth and wealth, and how can you win a tiger's cub if you don't enter the tiger's den.

After pondering for a moment, he turned to Bai Duan with earnest eyes: "Master Bai, if you repair the earth veins, how sure are you?"

Bai Duan, who had been silent all this time, raised her eyes slightly, and said in a calm tone, "Ninety percent."

Zhao Yu hissed, with a mocking and dissatisfied expression on his face: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers."

Bai Duan lowered his eyes and did not respond to Zhao Yu's words at all.

——Actually, he didn't have the slightest idea what this group of humans were struggling with. It was obviously a very simple matter, so why did it seem like it was a matter of life and death?

Zhou Jinhui looked at Zhao Yu and then at Bai Duan, really hesitant.Speaking of himself, he would naturally trust Master Zhao Yu even more, but Bai Duan's firm attitude and huge benefits still attracted him, tempting him to let go of the gamble.

In the final analysis, the "ancestral tomb issue" that led to all these disasters of the Zhou family is still unresolved. If the ground veins are successfully repaired, not only will the Zhou family no longer have to worry about the future, but it will even benefit from it.

——So, the most important question is whether Bai Duan's "[-]% certainty" is credible or not, and how much can be believed.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Jinhui took a deep breath: "Then, can Master Bai tell you how you can judge the breach of the ground vein?"

Bai Duan remained silent because he didn't know how to answer.

The spirit-eating ferret is extremely sensitive to "qi". In his eyes, evil spirit and spiritual energy are as distinct as black and white. He can tell it at a glance, so how can he explain it to others?

——Can you ask a fish how to breathe in water, and the fish can explain it?

Seeing that Bai Duan was at a loss, Chu Yao frowned slightly, and took a step forward: "Such a unique technique, of course, cannot be spread to the outside world. This question is a bit over the top."

Zhou Jinhui glanced at Chu Yao, and found that the other party's eyes were dark, and he was obviously displeased.He was stared at by that gaze, and for a while, he didn't dare to continue to ask questions, and stood on the spot awkwardly.

Chu Yao calmed down a little, and gave Zhou Jinhui a step: "Since you can't make up your mind, why don't you call Mr. Zhou and ask for his opinion?"

Zhou Jinhui nodded suddenly.

Although he was already the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Jinhui still couldn't make the decision alone on such an important matter, so he had to ask his old father what he thought.

What's more, this matter involves mysterious fields such as "feng shui". I can make my own judgement.

...Although, he still listened to the tricks of that unreliable Feng Shui master before, which led to a catastrophe.But the son never said anything about his father's faults, so Zhou Jinhui couldn't blame his old father who was wholeheartedly thinking about the Zhou family.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinhui pleaded guilty, hid in the distance with his mobile phone and made a call, and turned around after a while with a troubled expression on his face.

"How did Mr. Zhou reply?" Chu Yao asked.

Zhou Jinhui smiled wryly: "Father heard about this and insisted on coming over to see it in person and have a talk with the two masters."

"Mr. Zhou is in good health, right?" Zhao Yu was also a little worried.

"There is no way to go up the mountain road, so I have to trouble the two masters to go down the mountain for now and wait at the foot of the mountain for a while." Zhou Jinhui apologized.

For this request, Zhao Yu naturally had no opinion, and although Bai Duan felt that this group of humans was annoying, he also nodded at Chu Yao's signal and followed the trend.

After reaching an agreement, the group spent more than an hour going down the mountain again and returned to the side of the road at the foot of the mountain.Bai Duan, Chu Yao, and Zhao Yu were fine, but they were slightly out of breath, while the Zhou family members who hadn't exercised for a long time collapsed on the ground. Some didn't care about their image, and sat on the curb with their legs limp, ignoring the expensive custom-made suit they were wearing.

After waiting for almost an hour, the car carrying Mr. Zhou finally appeared far away in everyone's field of vision.When the car stabilized, the first person to get out of the car was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, followed by an older youth.

The young man opened the car door, bent down, and helped out a pale and sickly old man from the car, while the young girl greeted Zhou's family with a sweet smile, and then her eyes shifted slightly, all of a sudden fixed on Bai Duan , couldn't help but exclaimed: "Shang Qionghua?!"

Zhou's family members were baffled by this claim, and even the old man turned his eyes to the young girl in amazement.

The girl stuck out her tongue embarrassingly, but her slightly shining eyes still stared at Bai Duan: "You are the actor who played the role of Qionghua Shangxian in "Immortal Rebellion", right?! Your makeup photos are so beautiful! I didn't expect real people to be so beautiful!"

Bai Duan was a little ashamed by the girl's straightforward praise. He tried his best to hold back his noble and glamorous face, but moved his footsteps slightly, hiding himself behind Chu Yao without a trace.

As the girl revealed Bai Duan's identity, Zhou's family and even Zhao Yu's gaze towards Bai Duan suddenly changed.

Although the Zhou family was not as prejudiced against the profession of actors as some big families were, but Bai Duan, who was invited by them as a Feng Shui master, went to become an actor, which was a bit dishonest.

——Such a feng shui master who does not do business properly, is he really reliable?The balance in the hearts of the Zhou family, who didn't have much trust in Bai Duan, suddenly became a little crooked.

Bai Duan didn't notice the Zhou family's change of gaze, and was still immersed in the bewilderment of meeting his fan girl for the first time, but Chu Yao, who was accustomed to listening to all kinds of things and seeing all directions, was particularly keen.

However, he did not directly refute the doubts of the Zhou family. Instead, he greeted the girl with a smile: "Jia Ling, are you also paying attention to "Xianni"?"

"Of course!" Zhou Jinhui's daughter, Zhou Jialing, blinked her eyes playfully, "I'm your big fan of Yao, Shunyu! I've been following "Xian Ni" since it was first serialized, and I'm looking forward to the TV series, and so is my brother. , it’s just that he’s not very interested in TV dramas!” As she spoke, she smiled and looked at Bai Duan again, “Now, I’m also a fan of 'Qinghua Shangxian’!"

Chu Yao nodded slightly, and his tone was quite proud: "The only 'Qinghua Shangxian' in my heart is Xiao Duan. In order to let him let go of the role, I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma, and it took me a long time to succeed! When the TV series airs, and you see the magnificent Qionghua Shangxian in it, Jia Ling, don’t just lick the screen, you have to remember my credit! If I hadn’t exhausted my energy, this Qionghua Shangxian would not You have to play it with someone else!"

Zhou Jialing laughed and agreed, and praised Chu Yao without hesitation. After hearing Chu Yao's explanation, the suspicious eyes of the Zhou family finally calmed down a little. Running to be an actor, and having to act because of the begging of friends are two different concepts. The former is a young man who is impetuous, while the latter reflects the deep relationship between him and Chu Yao.

Seeing that this "crisis" had been resolved again, Chu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to the old man supported by the young man in two steps, and respectfully called "Mr. Zhou".

Mr. Zhou, who was already an old fox, gave Chu Yao a teasing look, and nodded with a smile. He obviously saw the intention of what Chu Yao said just now, but he didn't explain it clearly.Afterwards, his eyes fell on Bai Duan who was following behind Chu Yao with a cold expression but exceptionally clear eyes.

Mr. Zhou is looking at Bai Duan, and Bai Duan is also watching Mr. Zhou.

Unlike other Zhou family members, Mr. Zhou is old and lacks yang energy, which causes yin evil to enter his body, so he has been bedridden all the time.At this moment, although his expression was calm, his slightly trembling hands and his body that was supported to stand still all told that the other party was trying his best to endure the pain, and it was not easy at all.

The world of comprehension has always respected strength, but the most basic principles of respecting the old and loving the young, and respecting teachers and teachings are still there.As a good spirit beast, Bai Duan was naturally instilled with this kind of morality subtly. Seeing the old man suffering from illness in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little pity.

More importantly, he could see from the behavior of the Zhou family that this old man was the one with the most say in the Zhou family. If he wanted to mend the earth veins and swallow the evil energy, he still needed the old man's consent.

Although Bai Duan didn't know the world, but when it came to his own interests, he was able to grasp the key points.

He took two steps forward, crossed Chu Yao and walked in front of Mr. Zhou, raised his hand and brushed lightly on the other's shoulder, absorbing all the evil energy in the other's body in an instant.

Mr. Zhou only felt a shock in his spirit and lightness in his body, and even the chill and pain in his bones subsided suddenly.No matter how old and sophisticated he is, at this moment, his originally scrutinizing and judging eyes could not help but become shocked and astonished, which attracted all the Zhou family members who were paying attention to his situation to turn their eyes to Bai Duan.

But after finishing this task, Bai Duan remained silent, as if nothing had happened, turned around and walked back behind Chu Yao, not giving any peripheral vision to the people around her.

——It's really a detached and unrestrained attitude of a master.
