C25 The village of the dead(2)

Following the address Liu Qiang gave me, I rode for more than half an hour before I finally arrived at the Liu Jia Village that was outside the city. The so-called outskirts of the city was actually quite far away from the city itself. It was located right next to a provincial road.

The Liu Jia Village was not considered big, it was only about a few hundred people and it had not been developed yet. Other than some cars passing by, the entire village was covered in farmland and mountains. Clearly, this village was mainly focused on agriculture.

They entered the village on foot. As they walked, they started to size up the primitive village near the city: behind the village was a huge mountain, and the Liu Jia Village was built from the mountain. In front of the village was a provincial road, and beyond that was a field. On the left and right sides of the village, there were still the two shore mountains, the green dragon and the white tiger. Just from the large amount of feng shui, it did not seem to be dangerous, and did not constitute a constant source of disaster for the village.

Not only that, I initially thought that the feng shui here was pretty good, especially the one on the other side of the village. The mountain was located a few dozen kilometers away from the village, and there was a tall and majestic mountain that was connected to three other mountains. On the left side of the front desk was a small golden star, which looked like it was imprinted in front of him. If there was a family in the village that happened to have their Yang Mansion facing the right direction, there might even be an official! Of course, the reason why I said that there might be a great official, I'm not absolutely certain, but that's because wealth isn't entirely determined by the Feng Shui of Yang Mansion, and the Feng Shui of our ancestors is also related to the Yin virtue of our ancestors, so, if a person wants to obtain wealth while living, he should do more good deeds and accumulate good merits!

But then again, this was only a rough examination, and was not an absolute judgment. After all, looking at the entire village's Feng Shui was different from looking at a single Yang Mansion, they could not just look from a single point of view, they had to look at the overall view of the village first.

I initially thought that there weren't any great evils or dangers in the village, so I withdrew my gaze and continued walking forward. Very quickly, I entered the village.

This village didn't normally have many strangers enter or leave. Thus, when I entered the village, the villagers all stared at me. They were obviously guessing where I had come from and what I had come here for.

Even though the village had brick houses, there were still a lot of houses mixed in. It was obvious that the village was not that rich, and the villagers who were sizing me up were all wearing rural clothes, looking very simple, as if they had returned to Chen Jia Town.

She remembered that Liu Qiang had said yesterday that once they entered the village, as long as he told the locals what he wanted, the locals would understand. Thus, I walked towards the entrance of the village. There was a small store there, and there were five to six villagers conversing at the entrance of the store. I walked towards them and asked an older villager, "Uncle, may I ask if this place is Liu Jia Village?"

When the villagers saw me walking towards them, they had already noticed me, so when I asked him, he nodded and said, "Yes, this is the Liu Jia Village. Who are you looking for?"

At this time, a middle aged man at the side began to mutter to the villagers: "Yesterday, Liu Qiang went to invite a master who heard that he would be here today, it can't be that person!"

Hearing this, the villagers glanced at me, then said, "How could you say that? Look at how young this young man is, how could he be a master invited by Liu Qiang?

When the other villagers heard this, they nodded in agreement. He did not forget to belittle the man called Dong Zi.

Listening to their discussion, I then said to the old man, "I am looking for Liu Qiang in your village, and I am looking for the Mr. Feng Shui that you have mentioned, I wonder if Liu Qiang is currently in the village?"

Hearing that, the few villagers were stunned, they did not have time to react, even the old man was stunned, then they realised and shouted: "Oh, so you are the Sir that Liu Qiang invited, you are really young!"

To be honest, I didn't know whether to be happy or to sigh when I heard this, because too many people in this business think that the older one is, the more capable they are, and Mr. Feng Shui who is usually as young as me is just a brat in the eyes of outsiders.

I am helpless towards this matter, who told us to split this line into Red Way and Lan Dao? Although the industry insiders could tell what kind of person was the one with real ability and what kind of person was the Lan Dao who deceived and kidnapped people, to outsiders, they only knew that most of the martial artists were swindlers. If you wanted to argue, the other party would just say, "Why are you so young and yet you want to be a godly person? Aren't you just looking for money? What else could you be looking for?" A single word from him could kill him.

I smiled and said, "Yes, I am here to show the village the Feng Shui Mister. From what Liu Qiang has said, the men of your village frequently encounter disasters, I wonder if this is true? "

"So you're a master. No wonder Liu Qiang came back yesterday to say that the master you sought was very young. But after hearing what he said, we never thought you would be so young. After finding out that I was indeed the "Master" who came to show them Feng Shui, the old man changed his initial surprise and became courteous. He no longer called me "you" and directly addressed me as "Master", although the old man saw that I was very young, but Liu Qiang had praised me in front of him yesterday, so the old man did not dare to slight me.

After he said those courteous words, the old man nodded and said: "Yes, our Liu Jia Village did not know why, but the men in the village have never been at peace, either dying of illness or accidental death. In short, most of the old people died young, but alas, it was truly sinful!"

I nodded and asked after some thought, "Uncle, do we have any kilns or wells around the village?"

There is a reason for my asking, it is because the fires in some kilns are called true fire, and this fire can be said to be the smell of fire. If I do not set it in the right direction, it will bring about a calamity to the village. Similarly, if the well was in the wrong place, then it would be the same. Because the well could not see the sun even though it was in the underground area, Feng Shui believed that the well was a dark and ghostly place that could lead to the Yellow Springs. If a well was not dug well, it might have been dug in the wrong place, or it might have broken some kind of taboo, not only would there be no water flowing in, but it might also damage the feng shui Qi channels in a certain area.

The old uncle said, "We don't have a kiln factory around Liu Jia Village, but we do have one or two wells."

Hearing this, I asked the old man to show me. The old man nodded and took me with him to the two wells in the village. At the same time, the old man told me that some of the gentlemen he had asked before had said it was because of the wells.

In truth, Liu Qiang had already mentioned this matter to me yesterday, but now the old uncle has brought it up again. He seems to be worried that I would be like the other mister, and not be able to solve anything. So, I said to my uncle, I don't know if this is the reason for the well, so for the time being it's not easy to judge whether what that gentleman said was right or wrong.

The old man told me that there were two wells in the village, one to the east of the village and the other to the west. The villagers relied on these wells to maintain their water supply. The well to the east of the village was not far from the village entrance, and they soon arrived. This well looked like it had been here for a long time. It was made of bluestone and was shaped like a gossip. The water in the well was so clean that one could tell that it had not been contaminated.

I immediately took out the compass to position it vertically. The location of the well fell on the position of the village's White Tiger. Not only did it not obstruct the village, it even landed precisely on the spot.

Seeing this, I turned my head and said to everyone, "When we were digging this well, it must have been you who had asked me to locate it, right?"

The younger villagers were confused by my question, but the old uncle was surprised for a moment before nodding his head, "Yes, this well was dug before liberation. At that time, we did indeed request Mister to decide on the position. "What? Could it be that you can even calculate this?"
