C1 Chen's lame foot

Sichuan's Water-Suppressing Divine Beast, Shanghai's Dragon Pillar, North Xinqiao's Dragon Lock Well, all kinds of evil places, from the national project to the homes of the commoners, Feng Shui is everywhere! A small temple with a northern roof could actually force the Olympic Bird's Nest to move a hundred meters. Was this the power of a god?

It was true that Feng Shui raised people and could even kill people. I am a yin and yang master of feng shui. I have travelled far and wide to the north and south of the Great River of China.

I inherited my grandfather's legacy. My grandfather is called Chen Guodong, is a Mr. Feng Shui, and others call him a "lame brat with rotten feet", because he is a cripple. Of course, no one would dare to call him that.

In his generation, the ancestors of the Chen family were famous landlords in all the regions, and they could be said to be a good land. During the Chen family's most glorious period, sixty to seventy percent of the people in the town were tenants of the Chen family. The reason why the Chen Clan was known as the great landowner at that time was because they had previously made a great official. The fact that the Chen Clan was able to have such an ancestral property could be said to be a blessing to their ancestors.

When it came to the ancestors of the Chen family, there was a story of Feng Shui, because the reason why the Chen family had such a high official was all because of a Mr. Feng Shui. Of course, the Chen family had to pay a heavy price in order to become a high-ranking official. He really did agree with what Ye Xiao said. Feng Shui could support people, but he could also kill people!

It was said that in the late Qing dynasty, the Chen family had a flourishing population, but the children of the clan were incapable.

This year, when the Chen family's old man passed away, the Chen family's eldest brother went to invite a Mr. Feng Shui, intending to let him choose a Fengshui Bao Acupoint so that the Chen family would have a talent that could bring glory to their ancestors.

It was said that the Mr. Feng Shui was a very famous person in Lin County. He made a living from looking at Feng Shui, recognizing Yin and Yang, ruining fortune and luck, and had mastered some good skills.

Please come to the Chen family, Mr. Feng Shui told the Chen family members, I have two acupoints, one for you and one for you. The former, after the old man's burial, the Chen family will definitely have a flourishing population, a hundred sons, and a thousand grandchildren. The latter, after the old man's burial, the Chen family will definitely have a high ranking general.

When the Chen family members heard this, they immediately told the Mr. Feng Shui, there are already a lot of Chen family members, but none of the previous generations have any use for it, so we have to put on an act.

Mr. Feng Shui was not too sure either, he only took the compass and looked around, then told the Chen Family members, if they had to choose the latter, then the senior officials would definitely come out, but the Chen Family would definitely have to pay a price.

Back then, the members of the Chen Clan were greedy, but after hearing that their descendants could become officials, how could they care so much about that?

The Mr. Feng Shui nodded his head slightly. He said that it was not impossible to produce a great talent's treasure cave, but he had to first pay two taels of silver and be willing to point out the treasure cave.

The Chen family agreed. They didn't think too much about it. They only assumed that after Mister was afraid of exposing the Jiji acupoint, the Chen family wouldn't want it again.

The next day, the day when the Chen family's old teacher was buried. The Chen family members needed two taels of silver to prepare for the Mr. Feng Shui, and the Mr. Feng Shui brought the Chen family members to the location of the treasure cave. There, they could see the vast expanse of land, and at the peak of the mountain, the treasure cave that the Mr. Feng Shui had mentioned, was called the Dragon Riding Point, which meant the treasure cave riding a dragon.

After finding the acupuncture points, Mr. Feng Shui instructed the Chen Family members to break through the soil and dig until they were seven feet deep. At this time, the soil in the cave was multi-colored, and it was very beautiful. Threads of mist rose straight up from the cave, filling it up in the blink of an eye. When the Chen family saw this, they were extremely surprised. They knew that the Mr. Feng Shui was not lying, this was definitely a treasure cave.

At this moment, Mr. Feng Shui was telling the Chen Family clansmen, "I've already pointed out the Dragon Riding Nest. Now that your Chen Family clansmen have buried the old man and built the correct acupoint, this matter will be settled."

After he finished speaking, Mr. Feng Shui took a hundred taels of silver from the Chen family and told them to take out a hundred taels of silvers from today.

Those from the Chen Clan asked, "How long will it be?" Sir replied, Eighteen years.

After he finished speaking, the Mr. Feng Shui did not wait for the Chen family members to complete their acupuncture points and hurriedly left with a hundred taels of silver.

When the Chen family's people saw the Mr. Feng Shui leaving in a hurry, although they felt it was strange, they did not think too much about it. The Chen family youths turned around and began to place the old man's coffin into his acupoints, then they began to form their acupoints.

However, once this acupoint was formed, the Chen family would be in big trouble. Just as the Chen family placed the old man's coffin into the Chen family's acupoint, six miles away, a young man from the Chen family fell to the ground and died for no apparent reason. By the time they had finished setting the acupoints and returned to the Chen family, the Chen family had already started crying. It turned out that three people from the Chen family had died in the middle of the morning.

Of course, this matter was far from over. That day, the Chen Clan lost three members. The grief of the clan hadn't passed yet, but three days later, another incident occurred in the Chen Clan. Just as the Chen family gathered in the ancestral hall to conduct a funeral for the three dead people, suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky and a violent storm arose. A strong wind blew over the ancestral hall, instantly killing tens of Chen family members.

After that, the deaths happened more frequently, and it never stopped. Speaking of this matter, it was rather strange. All the Chen family members that died were males, while the females were relatively unaffected.

This disaster of the Chen family came and went as fast as it came. In less than half a year, almost all the men of the Chen family died. All the men in the clan were dead, and the women were remarried and returned to their parents' homes. In the last thriving Chen family, there was only a widowed mother and an orphaned child in a side room.

The locals believed that the Chen family had offended the Evil God, bringing about a great disaster. He had originally thought that this orphan would also die. However, it was a strange thing to say. When the Chen family died to the point where only orphan children remained, they actually didn't continue to die, leaving behind the Chen family's sole child.

After all, it was an extremely difficult life for this widowed and orphaned couple who had no other men at home. In order to raise this son of hers, Madam Chen had suffered a lot. The locals also saw their mother as a pitiful person and often helped her out, but this did not make their lives any better.

One day, a Mr. Feng Shui suddenly found the mother and son. When Teacher came to the Chen family, he didn't say anything. He just left them a hundred taels of silver and asked the Chen family to invite a teacher to teach the child the results of the exam. Then, he left.

Of course, this Mr. Feng Shui was there to give the Chen family some privacy. This one hundred silver was precisely what the Chen family had given him before.

In the blink of an eye, eighteen years had passed, and the child had grown up as well. That year, the child had managed to become a scholar and become a senior official in the late Qing Dynasty.

A single Feng Shui acupoint had killed a member of the clan, and had also killed a member of the clan. Because ever since the lone child of the Chen family became a high ranking official, the Chen family had flourished in his hands, with power and influence. His inheritance was passed down to this generation of my grandfather, Chen Guodong. And what the Mr. Feng Shui had said earlier, the words of the Chen Family officials came true one by one, but this power that was exchanged with the entire clan, was it sadness or joy? It could only be said that this was the doing of the human heart!

In his generation, in front of his grandfather, Chen Guodong, the Chen family was already a big landowner. In this family, he should be able to live without worries for the rest of his life. His family also wanted him to go and earn some fame so that he would be able to bring honor to his ancestors. However, Chen Guodong did not know where he got the wrong person. He was just reading a book and had to follow a passing Mr. Yin Yang to run away. He wholeheartedly started to learn Wind and Water. Because of this, his great-grandfather was so angry that he nearly stomped his feet on the ground.

As the saying goes, a prodigal squander spends money like feces, while a prodigy cherishes feces like gold. After a few years, his great grandfather passed away. Chen Guodong, who followed along along with Mr. Yin Yang, returned to the Chen family.

It was unknown whether something had happened to the ancestor's grave or not, but the Chen family had produced such an unfilial son like Chen Guodong. After returning home, not only were they lazy to eat and drink, they gambled with everything they had. In order to eat, drink and play, Chen Guodong sold his house and sold his land. In just a few years, he defeated all of the businesses that the Chen Family had developed over the past hundred years.

At first, there were some kind elders who advised him to stop eating and drinking. However, he wasn't young anymore and would have to get married in the future. However, Chen Guodong did not listen to his advice at all. Instead, he said that he could not leave his ancestors here alive.

Just like this, when Chen Guodong was at his poorest, he was so poor that he didn't even have a single son. At that time, the relatives of the Chen family had treated him as a god of pests, and all of them had distanced themselves from him, fearing that they would offend this scumbag. As for the locals, they often teased him, saying that he was a fool. Wasn't this the case? The one who could defeat his ancestors wasn't an idiot? Could it be that he was an astute person? And this fool actually said that it was always a disaster to keep his family business.

Although he was laughing wherever he went as if others treated Chen Guodong as a fool, he didn't care at all.

Maybe it was because of Chen Guodong's words, but not long after, the internal situation began to become unstable, and ten years of civil war broke out. The whole country was swept up in a war against the tycoons and the search for land. This was the so-called land revolution of the time.

The fight between the rich and the rich quickly reached the Chen family's territory. Suddenly, disaster befell upon the landlords. For example, he tied the "landlord's egg" to a rope, put it down, and pulled it back on top of the pile of ash. There was a great ash pile in every village at that time, where the ashes had been poured, and the charred substance had been burned a few times, hard as a ceramic, angular, similar to an ancient kind of thistle. Some of the landlords were being pulled back and forth, their scalps worn off, but their lives were still at stake, so they had to keep pulling until they told what they had hidden.

But at that time, Chen Guodong surprisingly managed to preserve his life amidst this storm, because he was deemed by the people to be a "bankrupt landowner." Even though he was also tied up in the cow shed for half a month, he was not criticized and tortured.

As soon as the fight with the landlords ended, Chen Guodong started to wander around the village, whistling proudly. Only then did the big guy come to a realization. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the prodigal son came here a few years ago and purposely became a prodigal?"

Since Chen Guodong did not say anything, everyone did not know either. In short, Chen Guodong had escaped a disaster.

After that, Chen Guodong acted as if he was a different person, he stopped eating and drinking, and started to walk out of the Jianghu. He walked for more than 10 years and only returned home after being liberated. On the way home, he picked up a child and went back.

Yes, the child he picked up was not even five years old. He lay on the side of the road in the snow and was on the verge of death.

At that time, Chen Guodong was only forty years old. After hearing that the child was an orphan, he decided to adopt the orphan. But instead of a child recognizing him as a father, a child recognizing him as a grandfather. In his words, he saw that Feng Shui said that he had broken through too many heavenly mysteries and now that it was his son's fault, only his relatives would be fine. And just like that, without Chen Guodong's wife, he became grandfather.

Chen Guodong named the orphan, Chen Ergou. And this Chen Ergou, is me!
