Chapter 2 Chapter One

In the second year of Emperor Shun, the patriarch Zhang Ling had to grant the Zhengyi charm, the Heavenly Master Sword, from the Taishang Laojun.Went to Jiangxi Longhu Mountain to practice.On the day of breaking through, the eight evil spirits will be collected and the six demon kings will be wiped out.Travel around with his disciples to kill evil spirits and benefit the people of Shu.It was the creation of the "Tianshi Tao", which has been passed down to this day. ——"Dao Zang" The sky is cloudy, the wind is blowing, the branches are twisted, and the leaves are floating.

Finally, the raindrops also fell. The rain was not heavy, tick-tock-tick, it didn't look like it was raining, but it was like fog. The world full of traffic was blocked in the dense rain like a bead net.Looking from a distance, the streets, buildings, and pedestrians are all left with a somewhat blurred outline. As the saying goes, this good rain knows the season, when spring happens.But at this moment, someone is not happy. Right now, he is squatting at the gate of his shop, with one hand holding a cigarette he has taken a few puffs of, while the other hand is making strange calculations, chattering endlessly, and he doesn't know what he is trying to figure out. .

Taking a closer look, this guy looks passable, with a sharp chin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a high nose bridge. He is not ordinary, but he is not ridiculously handsome. He gives people a feeling of just right, very harmonious and pleasing to the eye. His name is Young Master Liu, and he is the owner of this feng shui shop, also known as the magic stick. On weekdays, although the business is not very hot, he can still guarantee that he has wine, drinks and cigarettes, and his pockets are full. I can go to a restaurant to improve the food.When I have nothing to do every day, I read "textbooks" such as "Ziwei Counts" and "Seven Signs of Yunji". Although nine out of ten sentences are deceitful, I can't I'm so sorry for the people, right?Anyway, we have to love our jobs and work hard to contribute to the socialist modernization drive!right?

Therefore, the basic homework still needs to be supplemented. As for how much you can understand thoroughly, it depends on your own understanding. "The ancient mirror has been dim for many years, and once it was polished like a full moon. A gentleman makes plans for this hexagram, and it will happen naturally." The calculation with the five fingers of his right hand finally came to an end. Young Master Liu stared for a long time, and then came out of his throat in anger A line of hexagrams, rhymes, and neat shapes, seem to be so interesting, but the next sentence after this sentence has changed again: "You are a child, it's cold, and it will rain when it rains." Let it rain! No one blames you for changing your luck. Why is it raining endlessly day after day! Doesn’t this wash away all the Feng Shui luck that I have finally accumulated?” After that, Young Master Liu straightened up, gestured a loud middle finger to the dark cloud-covered sky, and cursed.

well!The light rain ticks, the sound is like a silver bell.It sounds good, but as First Young Master Liu said, it made the already deserted business of his family even less.Originally, someone would come every once in a while to name the child, someone to ask the God of Wealth to bless the opening, someone who asked for marriage and divorce, and his sister's, but now it's good, Mao hasn't seen it for a week! Naturally, our Young Master Liu blamed all these unlucky events on the rain.This person is alive, depressed!Unlucky, drinking cold water will clog your teeth, and peeing will conduct electricity!First Young Master Liu grumbled, smoking a cigarette, squinting his eyes and looking at his watch, it was past three o'clock.Okay, after a while, close the shop and go to sleep, no one will come, right?Brother, I'm not serving you anymore!

I was thinking for a while whether to eat Master Kong's braised beef noodles or to eat Tongyi Fuman, when the phone on the table rang without warning in the deserted air.Young Master Liu's hand holding the cigarette trembled, and the cigarette ash spilled all over his pants, almost falling into his crotch. "Fortunately, I didn't open the zipper of my crotch." After flicking off the ashes, Young Master Liu answered the phone cursingly, and shouted angrily, "Who are you?" "Excuse me, is it Old Immortal Liu?" "Ang, who are you?" "I want you to come and show me Feng Shui, my house."

"Oh! Hello, hello." After extinguishing the cigarette and taking a last breath, Young Master Liu immediately changed into another person, and responded with the most standard voice of telecom customer service: "Would you like to see the whole house, or the whole house?" A single room?" "I'm looking at the whole house. I've been feeling unwell recently, and my whole family has been sick. Yesterday, I heard from a friend that you are very effective in looking at Feng Shui here. I just want to ask, Master, when are you free to come and show me?" "Wait a minute, I'll take a look..." First Young Master Liu responded.

In fact, to be honest, what are you looking at?There is no appointment at all, just pretending, just don’t let people think that you have no customers to patronize, this is the most basic rule of the god stick business, if you have nothing to do, people will definitely think you are a master, when the time comes, Not only can you have a good meal with good wine and food, but the price is also easy to negotiate: "Well, can you see if the afternoon after tomorrow is okay? Give me your home address." "The day after tomorrow..." When the man on the other side of the microphone heard this, he held back like a balloon that had been pierced by an awl, and after a long pause, he begged hesitantly, "Look, I'll add some money, master." Can you come over tomorrow morning?"

Yaohe, there is a door!First Young Master Liu screamed inwardly, his face wearing small gold-rimmed glasses was filled with the word excitement, and even his breathing rhythm became a lot rougher due to the excessive secretion of adrenal glands.Of course, if you are excited, you still have to put on airs. "That's it..." His tongue rolled around in his mouth, and he made a long sound, and then deliberately flipped the magazine in his hand to the receiver to show that he had something in his agenda.Ten seconds later, Young Master Liu put on a look of embarrassment on purpose: "Oh! Sir, I think you are also in a hurry. Our Taoism emphasizes helping the world and saving people, and accumulating virtue. Besides, time is like a woman..."

Speaking of this, Young Master Liu's words got stuck in his throat, he coughed twice in a disguised manner, and abruptly swallowed the latter set of rhetoric back into his stomach, originally he wanted to say: time is like a woman's Cleavage, just squeeze it.But fortunately, the reaction was quick, otherwise, although this metaphor is vivid and appropriate, if it is said, the image of light and confusion that our Young Master Liu has finally established will be destroyed.Thinking of this, he couldn't help biting his tongue, mother, this is really easy to say! "Master, what's the time?" The man didn't seem to care about it, but he lost half of Liu's words, which made him very anxious, thinking that Liu Shenxian's schedule is full and it's not easy to embezzle it Well, therefore, there are more pleadings in the words.

"Hehe!" Young Master Liu changed his words with a smile: "If it's crowded, you can go there after eleven o'clock tomorrow morning, but at this price..." I don't know if it's because I haven't eaten meat for a few days, or if Young Master Liu was born with the habit of being blind to money. When he mentioned the word price, Young Master Liu's tone obviously increased a bit. It can be said that the words are correct! (Note: According to his father’s recollection, when Young Master Liu was just able to drink milk, he opened his eyes and didn’t recognize his father or call his mother. His two small eyes stared like a wolf with a big tail. Going to grab the New Year's money on the kang, I laughed as soon as I got the money, but the second uncle, who has always been honest, was not happy, saying that the money was dirty and would be infected with bacteria, so he wanted to break Liu Dashao out of concern. I snatched it from my hand, but it didn't matter if I didn't snatch it. As soon as I snatched it, Young Master Liu burst into tears immediately, crying so badly! He said in his heart, he is the only one in the family, why are you old men arguing with him? Immediately, bearded and staring, he picked up his crutches and tried to smash his head, and the old grandmother persuaded him hard, bluffing The second uncle hurriedly rummaged through his pants, and on the basis of the original red envelope, he posted two pieces of happy reunion upside down, which made Young Master Liu burst into tears.) "Money is not a problem, as long as you can come tomorrow, money is not a problem." Wei Wei promised on the other end of the microphone. "Okay, give me the address, and I will be there on time at eight o'clock tomorrow." OK, the goal has been achieved. "West Hutong Street, the first building in the Garden District, 404 on the fifth floor." "Okay, I'll write it down, see you tomorrow, bye!" The brush in his hand wrote down the address on the back of the magazine, and Young Master Liu stretched himself, and comfortably placed the address on the boss chair. Loud fart. Don't say he is despicable, in this day and age, being too honest can't survive.Back then, Young Master Liu didn’t understand the rules when we first entered this city. We put up small advertisements under the scorching sun at noon without a break, and ended up posting them all the way to the gate of the police station. Sweating profusely after brushing the glue, they took a small advertisement for treating unspeakable diseases and pasted it on the outer wall. The police comrades watched while enjoying themselves. All his crime tools were confiscated, and the total loss was equivalent to RMB 16.35. This incident caused a great shock to young master liu's kind heart, and he finally knew that no matter what he did, he could not achieve results without hard work.Looking back on my previous life, it was because I was too upright that I became an older single young man who dragged down the society. Now that a fat sheep is finally delivered to his door, how could he have any reason to give up. His sister's, good business, the five forms, water masters wealth!Just to put it bluntly, if it rains every day, there will always be a big problem.Young Master Liu squinted his small eyes, looking at the drizzle outside the door like a rich man in the old society, his smiling face bloomed, he took a deep breath, this time he didn't fart anymore, but Picking up the address of the table, he looked at it carefully.Hehe, Market Garden, this piece of land is the golden zone in our urban area, and the price per square meter is in ten thousand units. Thinking of this, his little flower intestines can't help but jump in his throat, Thinking about how much money he can knock down if this guy is a fool. As the saying goes, when you are in a good mood, things are pleasing to the eye.So much so that this rainy day, which was scolded by Young Master Liu before, became more poetic and picturesque, and it also produced such a petty bourgeois sentiment. (Typical pretense) The light raindrops kept ticking on the glass windows, and Young Master Liu also slept in a chair all afternoon in a daze. When he was thirsty, he fumbled for a big tea mug on the table. It was found that it was time to apply. Strangling through his suit, he opened the rusted drawer, rummaged through the drawer for a long time, and finally found three incense sticks of different lengths under a few basketball magazines.Turn around and walk towards the shrine behind. This shrine is not big, but the decoration is very exquisite and unique. The whole body is made of high-quality red lacquered wood. Even the big incense burner is also shining with gold, which is quite magnificent. On both sides of the shrine, two candles flickered, and wisps of blue smoke rose.The strange thing is that what is placed in this pavilion is not a statue of a god or Buddha, but a cartoon drawn with a pencil. It is a bust of an old Taoist priest. There is no smooth line in the whole painting, the whole body is crooked and messy, it is simply a graffiti of a three-year-old child.I can barely recognize that this old Taoist priest is probably a male animal, but he still has a beard, and I can't see clearly the rest... Under the cartoon, there is a memorial tablet, on which it is written: "The sixty-third generation successor of the Tao of Heavenly Master, the spiritual tablet of Zhang Enpu who is in charge." There are quite a lot of words, and it is difficult to pronounce, but since he was invited to pay tribute here, he must be inextricably linked with the protagonist. how?Do you want to know why there is a cartoon sketch on the extremely serious god?OK, let me inquire for you. Our young master Liu said that when he died as a cheap master, there were no cameras in the countryside, let alone taking pictures.So much so that now I can't even make a portrait, so I can only draw a portrait based on my memory to make do with it. How about doing it myself to have enough food and clothing?What?Are you not a human being who said this?Don't you know that Liu Dashao studied abstract art?Yep, like Picasso. Lighting the incense to the candle, First Young Master Liu paid his respects to the tablet in the middle perfunctorily: "Master, it's time to eat. The market is not good these two days, so you should eat less. Wait until you come back from work tomorrow." , Immediately buy a catty of braised duck bladders for you from the soy sauce duck restaurant." "Squeak..." Mentioning the duck bladder, Young Master Liu's gluttons immediately hooked up, rubbing the skin with two salty pig hands, and the saliva almost fell off.As for the newly opened Sauce Duck Restaurant next door, it's really a goddamn masterpiece when it comes to wine!Immortals couldn't move their legs when they saw it, and the Jade Emperor would have to come down to taste a couple of mouthfuls after hearing it, not to mention him as a weed. "Hey, when the time comes, it will still be the old rule, I eat the vegetables, you smell the fragrance." "Besides, you are at this age, and you can't digest if you eat too much." After finishing speaking, First Young Master Liu chattered and inserted the incense into the incense burner, and when he returned his hand, he took away the last apple on the altar. A little water mist appeared on Zhang Enpu's spirit card, as if he was crying... The Chinese nation has a long history and a long history of cultural traditions. Among them, the industry is the most extensive. If you want to make a detailed statistics, there may be tens of thousands of types. Since ancient times, there has been no distinction between high and low in the industry. As the so-called three hundred and sixty lines, the best in every line of work. I believe that when you are a child, you will see Jing Ai from this station and that station broadcast some idle and painful entrepreneurial stories, for example, so-and-so made a fortune and built the largest ecological plantation in China, and so-and-so became the national meat by selling pork. The CEO of the joint factory, so-and-so played real estate and successfully listed in the United States, and so-and-so became a world-renowned tycoon by relying on the secret drink formula passed down by the family... Of course, compared with the successful "so-and-so" in the above example, Liu Dashao is just an insignificant little person, a practitioner in a special industry, nothing more. Speaking of which, you should know what he does, right? What?A slave in a brothel? Who said that special industries are for that?Drag it down and beat it to death with sticks! Ahem, let’s get back to the topic of the book, even though we Liu Dashao can’t do it, we can’t do it. Wu can’t rejuvenate the country.Two taels of ink in my stomach and three catties of paste in my head, but it is still a legitimate industry. Have you seen the brand in the store?Yes, that's right there, the out-and-out business license issued by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.Fushun City Taoist Association, Feng Shui Consulting Center. What's wrong?Too small?At any rate, our Young Master Liu invited the big brother from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to drink eight tables of wine to get it done. Hold a magnifying glass and just wait and see! Hello, what's the matter?What?You can't read?Forget it, when I didn't say it. In fact, when it comes to our young master Liu's profession, it is complicated and complicated, and it is easy to say.Mr. Yin Yang, these four simple words can cover everything in his life, so he is humble and unnoticed, but at the same time, he is full and proud, because this simple These four words have brought young master Liu a wonderful life experience and a tragic fate mixed with joy and sorrow. As the saying goes, there are many wonders in the vast world, and there are many things that we don't understand, and we can't solve them temporarily with scientific means.Such as bumping into evil spirits, recruiting faceless people (ghosts are also called "faceless people" in the folk, or smoky souls, or dirty things.), borrowing corpses to return to life, reincarnation, ghost possession, etc., etc., these are all things that cannot be explained by science. . These things that cannot be solved by science can be justified by traditional folk customs.Therefore, there have been such a group of people in the folk since ancient times. They can deal with these strange events. People call them differently. Immortals, half-immortals, sorceresses, and evil-seekers.In foreign countries, they are called onmyoji, exorcist and so on.The names are different, but the techniques are quite similar.Because most of them shuttle between the yin and yang worlds, walking between impermanence.Or deliver a letter to the deceased relatives, or settle the grievances between the living and the dead. Of course, among them, some of them have real talents and real learning, and they are world-class experts with a strong sense of demeanor; hand.But our First Young Master Liu is a character in between, if you say he is a liar!He still has some ability, why else would all the blind fortune tellers with a radius of tens of miles wipe away their tears and go elsewhere to seek a living after he opened a shop?Because compared with Liu Dashao, who has excellent professional qualities, they can't get along!But let's say it's not a liar!Our young master Chen only has the ability to press the bottom of the box with one or two hands. The typical Chen Yaojin three axes are gone when they are used up. The bottle of water swirls back and forth. This year, it is important to keep pace with the times.Mr. Yin Yang's old profession is no longer popular. After all, there are not many ghosts in the streets and small streets. If you catch them all, they will disappear. If you encounter ghosts or something, your life will be in danger.Fortune-telling and fortune-telling belonged to feudal superstition, which was definitely not something for Young Master Liu, who would rather go to the Palace of Hades than touch the urban management team once.If these two are ruled out, Young Master Liu can only resort to his own big weapon: look at Feng Shui! When it comes to Feng Shui, don't believe in this evil, it is also a knowledge left by our ancestors!Take the newly married young couple choosing a house as an example! The first one is 'not suitable for strong wind'. The most important thing in Feng Shui is "Tibetan wind and Qi accumulation", so places with strong winds will definitely not be prosperous places.The most ideal living environment is that there is a gentle breeze blowing slowly, and the cool breeze is refreshing, which is in line with the way of Fengshui. The second is that 'streets and alleys should not go straight'. Feng Shui is "like to circle and avoid going straight", because the coming of going straight is sharp.For example, the gate of the house is facing the straight road. The longer the road, the more dangerous it is, and the more roads, the more disasters. Therefore, some people call it "hukou house", which means that it is difficult to live in it. The third rule is that 'streets should not be bent against the bow'. The so-called "bowed streets" refer to the fact that the street in front of the house is curved, and the corner goes straight to the gate. Feng Shui calls it "cutting the waist with a sickle". Housing should not be purchased, but avoiding it is auspicious. "Summary of Yang Zhai" has a saying: If the street in front of the gate is bowed, casualties, fires, and persistent diseases will often occur in the home. Since ancient times, there have been many allusions to Feng Shui, and here is a short story to relieve boredom. In ancient times, a certain family worked diligently all day, saved some money, decided to renovate the house, bought the materials, and invited the nearby neighbors to help. Yes, bricklayers, carpenters, oilers, and artisans were assembled without much effort, and a few small workers were found to start work. My family is very kind, honest, good food, good drink, good rewards, fast and good work.A carpenter in the neighborhood I invited was very jealous and thought to himself; after so many years, I have to show people in the market, let alone build a house, and I don’t have the money to repair the house. The neighbor I live in, I can't see him when I look down, but I can't see him when I look up. I don't see that he is much more capable than me. How can he get rich?Dare to spend money to build a house, but also eat noodles with fried sauce for the craftsmen every day, this master's wealth is too public! On the fifth day, the frames of the house were up, and the surrounding walls were also up. It was time to go to the house. According to the old rules of building a house, amulets were pasted, the watch was put on, a whip was placed, and wine and wine were drunk. After eating stewed meat, both the big and small workers gave out red envelopes, and the carpenter was even more upset: he dared to eat stewed meat and give out red envelopes.It's so irritating!Dare to call me board!I had to show him something and let him spread his money, so I went to Mr. Feng Shui to find a way. Mr. Feng Shui said: "Didn't you just get on the watch now? You can spread his wealth by putting something on the watch." The carpenter asked, "What do you want to put?" Mr. Feng Shui said: "You use wood Be a small man pulling a small cart, put gold ingots carved in wood on the cart, and put it on the house for him facing outwards, and pull gold out for him every day. Years, let him lose his family unknowingly."The carpenter thanked Mr. Feng Shui, went back and made one according to the instructions and put it on the house. After building the house, the carpenter returned home, and every day he looked at how the family lost their money with special hatred in his heart. After two years, the family not only did not become poor, but became richer and richer. The carpenter was so angry. !Once, when I was drinking with another carpenter who worked together, I couldn't hold back anymore, and revealed it: "I put a little man on his house facing outside according to Mr. Feng Shui's idea, pulling a small cart of ingots. If you say it goes out every day La Jinzi should have lost his fortune long ago, how did he get richer and richer?" The carpenter said: "Yes! To tell you the truth, I was angry when I saw his brothers helping each other, and the population was prosperous. I also asked Mr. Feng Shui to give some ideas to ruin their family. Mr. Feng Shui Said: "You use wood to make a little archery man on the top of the gatehouse, and put your bow and arrows into the gate. The people who shoot at his family every day, once the gatehouse is covered with tiles, no one can see it. In 2010, all the people in his family died and were injured for no apparent reason, "I didn't expect you to see now, not only are there no deaths or injuries, but a few more people have been added." The two carpenters discussed, this is not right, this What kind of idea did Mr. Feng Shui come up with, we have to find him! The two brothers found Mr. Feng Shui, and Mr. Feng Shui said: "My idea is correct, but who knows that the two of you are a family." The two brothers said: "Is it a family? Our curse is poisonous enough. A person who cursed him, a cursed his wealth, should also be fulfilled!" Mr. Feng Shui said: "That's not the case. If these two curses are put together in one family, they will completely change their taste. Think about it, you two, this little man is going to use a small cart to pull gold out and disperse him." I can't help the little man on the roof of the gate building his bow and aiming at him with an arrow: "If you dare to pull it out, I will shoot you!" The family's wealth can only come in but not out, how can you not be rich?" So, the two carpenters were dumbfounded. Although this is a joke, it also highlights the broad knowledge of Feng Shui and its influence on our daily life.For more than a year, relying on my half-knowledge of feng shui, our young master Liu is still a dog in this small city, at least his reputation has spread, seven aunts and eight aunts, mentioned The name of Young Master Liu, who doesn't pretend to call "Old Immortal"? Throwing away the gnawed apple core in his hand, First Young Master Liu burped comfortably, his eyes lingering, looking at the layout of the left green dragon and right white tiger one by one, and finally stopped at the tablet again On, coagulate but not scattered. Looking at the three captivating big characters of "Tianshi Dao" in cursive script, Young Master Liu's lips moved, and his playful and smiling face immediately changed 360 degrees, and the outline between the thin hair became firm And Mingguo.The air flow in the air seemed to have stopped at this moment, compared with the previous actions, there was a sharp contrast.It seemed that he was originally one person, but in an instant, he split into two people and performed two actions. After a while, he sighed softly: "Never extinction, extinction? There is a break in the sixty-third generation! Master, is this ballad true or false? Is it true that our way of heavenly masters is really over like this?" ?" The air was extremely still, as if these words came from outside the sky.Looking at the spiritual tablet with mixed eyes, First Young Master Liu smiled wryly: "Speaking of which, even if he is finished for his hard work, it's none of my business, I'm the one who doesn't stop after his last meal! " After finishing speaking, he shivered and took out a pure cotton handkerchief from his pocket, picked up the tablet, wiped it carefully, and said to himself: "But you are right in one sentence, some things still need to be done by someone. ! Back then, you didn’t regret it, and today, the apprentice doesn’t regret it either!” As soon as the words were blurted out, Young Master Liu's tears flowed down his cheeks unsatisfactorily.At the same time, the sore past that has been deliberately buried in my heart for the past twenty years has also sprouted out of the fertile soil of memory.
