Chapter 2 Chapter 1 An Incident Many Years Ago

Everyone must remember that a novel is a novel, no matter how vividly the author of the novel writes it, but the novel must be a novel, and it will never be a fact. With this in mind, it would be much better to read the novel "Feng Shui" again. You don't have to ask when and where this incident happened, and you don't have to spend your brains trying to find out whether the characters in the novel are true or not. Man, something really happened. The weather was fine, and the four-top mountain sedan chairs were advancing unhurriedly in the path surrounded by mountains. The "sedan chair" in the mountains is actually a soft pocket, and people sitting on the soft pocket can talk to each other. The four soft pockets, two in front and two behind, sit in the front two, a man and a woman, all They were over fifty years old, and from their clothes and looks, they were obviously all rich men.

And the two people in the back are both about forty years old, one is fair-skinned, one looks gentle, and wears a silk shirt, the other has an indescribably strange appearance, with thin eyebrows and eyes, and facial features that seem to be gathered together , a long gown of blue bamboo cloth, which has been washed white. The man sitting in the soft pocket in front couldn't help turning his head and asking, "How do you two see this area?" Those two people frowned tightly and didn't say a word. They seemed to have never heard the man's question at all, and they just looked around attentively.The blue sky and white clouds line the green mountains. At the foot of the mountains, there is a river with water like jasper flowing. This is indeed a place with extremely beautiful scenery.

However, these four people did not come here to enjoy the scenery, they came to see Feng Shui and find a cemetery. A man and a woman in front are a couple. They are the richest man in the county. They are engaged in business and rent land, and they are wealthy. When it comes to the Li family in the mountainous area of ​​Hexi, everyone knows it.The Li family's large house in the county and the hundreds of hectares of fertile land in Hexi are all well-known far and near. Now, looking ahead, the stretch of several hills is also the property of the Li family in Hexi. The Li family has been passed down to Li Enye's generation, which is half-agricultural and half-merchant, and has a lot of money. Li Enye's father died two days ago, because he couldn't find an ideal cemetery, so he was never buried.

As for the two people in the back two soft pockets, the odd-looking one is called Yang Zibing, and the gentle one is called Rong Baiyi. Both of them are well-known geologists in the provincial capital. Those who came here carried the four of them in their soft pockets, and they had already walked all morning, but the two surveyors who had spent several hundred yuan for them had never said a word. Li Enye was already very impatient, and he kept turning his head to ask questions. In his opinion, if those two famous Fengshui masters kept silent, then he would have wasted the money. The soft bag continued to move forward, and suddenly, the two Feng Shui masters shouted together: "Turn left!"

Li Enye was overjoyed when he heard that they opened his mouth, and hurriedly said: "Turn left, turn left!" The soft pocket passed through a bamboo forest and reached a small hillside. The two Feng Shui masters shouted in unison: "Stop!" The eight strong men carrying the soft pockets stopped together, and the two geomancers, Yang Zibing and Rong Baiyi, stepped out of the soft pockets together, lifted the cloth from the compass they had been holding in their hands, and began to investigate carefully. Li Enye and his wife wiped their sweat and waited aside. Seeing the solemn and serious expressions of the two Feng Shui masters, they were too anxious to ask, but they were too embarrassed to ask.

A few strong men with soft pockets had already sat down on the ground.They smoked three bags of dry cigarettes before they saw Rong Baiyi and Yang Zibing, exhaled and raised their heads. After they raised their heads, Rong Baiyi said: "Yang Weng, you speak first!" But Yang Zibing said: "Rong Weng, you speak first!" Li Enye was getting a little impatient. He heard that the two were still being polite, so he hurriedly interjected: "Both of you are famous, whoever says it's the same!" Yang Zibing smiled: "It seems that I see the same thing as Rong Weng, Rong Weng, what do you think?"

Rong Baiyi said: "Exactly!" Li Enye asked anxiously, "What's going on here?" Yang Zibing coughed, and said: "This place is called Whale Tunnel, the valley is facing the river, the location is perfect, overlooking the source, upward restraining the four directions, there is a hint of purple energy on the southeast side..." When Yang Zibing spoke up to this point, Li Enye was already dancing with joy, and Mrs. Li who was beside him also interjected, "If the ancestors are buried here, what will happen to the descendants?" Rong Baiyi said: "Whale to swallow, just as the name suggests, wealth flows into my mouth like water, and it keeps flowing, and the children and grandchildren can enjoy it endlessly!"

Yang Zibing also said: "This is a rare and good point, head east and foot west, Li Weng don't have to hesitate!" Li Enye's happiness seemed to be discounted at this time, he couldn't hold back for a while: "I beg you two to go to another place to investigate." Yang Zibing wondered, "Li Weng, what can I ask for?" Li Enye smiled a little embarrassedly: "Don't ask me to be greedy. When it comes to wealth, the Li family is not boasting. No matter how incompetent their descendants are, I am afraid that ten generations and eight generations will still be defeated. I think that the Li family has never left the county for generations. Although the door has wealth, it has no power, do you two understand?"

When Yang Zibing and Rong Baiyi heard this, they frowned and remained silent for a while, Li Enye said again: "I don't want the Li family to have an emperor or a president, but I only hope that among the descendants of the Li family, there will be governors and military governors. Wish is enough, don't seek riches, but seek expensive!" Yang Zibing and Rong Baiyi listened silently, while listening, with both eyes, they looked at the hill below, a raised highland.The high ground was bright, the mud was red and red, surrounded by a circle of pine trees, but that circle of pine trees seemed to have been killed by lightning, and the branches were half burnt, and they were only five or six feet high.

Li Enye saw two Fengshui masters staring at the high slope without making a sound, and hurriedly asked, "Is it also a good point?" Both Yang Zibing and Rong Baiyi nodded. Li Enye hurriedly said: "But it can make future generations dignified?" Yang Zibing said: "It's not just a dignitary, it's simply extraordinary, come, let's take a closer look!" At this moment, the four of them stopped sitting in the mountain pockets, they all lifted up their long gowns, and walked down. There were only two strong men carrying soft pockets. They were afraid that if the master or madam couldn't walk, they would have to carry them, so Carrying the soft bag, he followed, and after a while, he came to the bare slope!

The two Fengshui masters set up the compass again, checked it for a while, and suddenly sighed in unison. Li Enye immediately became nervous again. The two Fengshui masters looked at each other, and Rong Baiyi said: "There will be great chaos in the world. Huh?" Yang Zibing nodded and said, "If there was no chaos, how could we have found this bloody place?" Li Enye hurriedly said: "What do you two mean by these words?" Yang Zibing said: "Li Weng, this piece of land is where the blood energy rushes between the heaven and the earth, and the evil spirit is so heavy that it is unparalleled in the world. The heaven also has this in view. You see, the surrounding trees have been struck by lightning several times, but once the lightning strikes, the blood energy will be heavy. Once, I advise you not to be buried here!" Li Enye hurriedly said: "If it can make the descendants noble, the evil spirit will naturally be on other people's heads, so what does it have to do with me!" Li Enye said while looking at Rong Baiyi, as if hoping that Rong Baiyi would say something nice. But Rong Baiyi sighed: "Li Weng, if you insist on burying your father on this piece of blood, then your son will be very honorable, and he will be a great minister, and everyone in the world will know..." When Rong Baiyi said this, Li Enye was already dancing with joy, but Rong Baiyi sighed again: "It's just that this piece of land is too evil, Li Weng should think twice!" Li Enye scratched his head: "What does Rong Weng mean?" Rong Baiyi said: "I'm afraid that in this area, the lives will inevitably be ruined!" Mrs. Li came from a scholarly family, and she continued from the sidelines: "It is certain that one will be successful, but besides that, is there anything bad about it?" Yang Zibing and Rong Baiyi wandered around the high slope again, saying repeatedly: "Your spirit, that's really your destiny. If Li Weng insists on burying your ancestor on this land, you should do more good deeds so as to eliminate the evil spirits." The evil spirit is invisible!" At this time, Li Enye and his wife heard two geomancy masters from the provincial capital say that the feng shui here is so good that once the ancestors are buried, they will send them to their sons, which can be very expensive, and they have long been happy. Forget why, Yang Zibing and Rong Baiyi didn't listen to what Yang Zibing and Rong Baiyi said later, Li Enye had already ordered in repeated voices: "Go home!" Four soft bags were carried down the mountain, and at sunset, they returned to the county seat. That night, a banquet was held for the two geologists, and Li Enye called his six sons out to accompany him. Li Enye's eldest son is nineteen years old, but the younger son is still in his infancy. During the dinner, Li Enye asked: "Take a look, my late father was buried behind that bloody field. On that dog?" Rong Baiyi and Yang Zibing looked at Li Enye's six sons carefully, but they didn't say anything. Li Enye urged them again and again, and then they said: "Xiangdi is our director, but Xiangren is not the director. Anyway, Li Enye Among Mr. Weng, there must be someone who stands out, Li Weng can rest assured." Li Enye found a good acupuncture point and healed the pain of losing his father. After enjoying the feast of wine, the two geologists were also drunk, and supported by their family members, they returned to the guest room. The servant who helped Yang Zibing back was a strong man who had carried a soft bag up the mountain during the day. The strong man helped Yang Zibing to the room, twisted a hot towel, and asked Yang Zibing to wipe his face. When he woke up from the wine for a minute or two, the strong man suddenly knelt down towards Yang Zibing. This made Yang Zibing startled, and hurriedly said, "Hey, what are you doing? Get up quickly." The burly man was still kneeling on the ground: "Mr. Yang, I have something to ask, sir, please agree." Yang Zibing was drunk and said with a smile: "I don't know anything except Feng Shui, and there is nothing I can do to help you." The burly man said: "Mr. Yang, the landlord doesn't want the picture of swallowing the land you mentioned during the day. Xiaoke's old father has just died and hasn't been buried yet. Xiaoke has been a servant for generations. He is so poor that even spitting is bitter. I just want to make a little money, so I beg Mr. Yang to give some advice to the villain!" At this time, Yang Zibing seemed to have woken up a lot from the wine. He turned on the lamp, moved the lamp closer to the strong man kneeling on the ground, looked at him carefully for a long time, and then sighed: "This is really destiny, you get up. stand up!" As he spoke, he helped the strong man to stand up: "The whale devours the ground, and the burial will be sent out at night, but when the burial is done, there must be no coffin, but a red burial, so as not to block the source of income. You wrap the body overnight and dig it up." Bury the dead in the pit, don't say anything, and don't say that I taught you!" Hearing that, the strong man was overjoyed, crawled on the ground again, kowtowed three times, and turned to leave. He walked to the door and was stopped by Yang Zibing again: "You asked me for something just now, and I have something for you too!" The strong man scratched his head and said, "Mr. Yang, what can I do for you?" Mr. Yang said: "It's not that I want your help. You have to remember what happened tonight. When you become rich in the future, don't forget to treat the descendants of my Yang family well!" The strong man smiled stupidly and said, "I will be rich? I just want to stop being someone else's slave!" Yang Zibing waved his hand and said, "You go, remember what you said today, I'm so grateful!" The strong man went out and came to a dilapidated house at the foot of the city wall. His father's body was only covered by two straw mats. The strong man took a shovel and carried his father's body on his back, and went out of the city. Go up the mountain and bury the body on the small hill overnight. Apart from him and Yang Zibing, no one else knew about this matter. On the second day, Li Enye asked Yang Zibing and Rong Baiyi to choose an auspicious day, pick up the clot of blood, and solemnly buried his father in that bare, blood-red, surrounded by It was on the high slope of the pine tree that had been struck by lightning. In order to make his descendants noble, he did not build a tomb to cover the high slope with red soil, but built a circle of stone walls to surround the high slope.
