Chapter 116 East and West Feng Shui
Yuncheng, this is the first stop for Luo Ding, Kong Le and Wang Mingshan, and of course it is also the first stop for the old man to take charge of the place.
After more than an hour of helicopter, he changed into a passenger plane, and then another ten hours of car, he arrived in Yuncheng.
When he got off the bus, Wang Mingshan felt his whole body aches, but when he saw Luo Ding and Kong Le, he seemed to be fine, which made him feel a little "lower". If Luo Ding was young and had no problems at all, Kong Le was much younger than him, but he didn't feel any special fatigue, then it would be a little "strange".
"It seems that there is no way for this person to compare with others." Wang Mingshan thought to himself.
This is the old man's affairs and it is of great importance. Of course, Wang Mingshan did not want to alarm the local people, but with Wang Mingshan's energy, he had already arranged everything, so when they arrived, someone had already driven a car to pick them up. Wang Mingshan knew a lot of things. If there were no locals, it might be difficult to move forward without understanding the situation. And if there was any accident, there was no way to deal with it in time. In this regard, Wang Mingshan was also a veteran, so everything had been arranged long ago.
When I came to pick up Wang Mingshan, Luo Ding and the three of them were a huge Land Rover. Yuncheng is a third-tier city and is located in an inland city, so the road is not very easy to walk on. This is caused by the geographical environment. Because it is mountainous here, this is not a problem that can be solved by manpower, so there is nothing strange about this. But even so, when Luo Ding stepped on here, Luo Ding was quite surprised, because in his original imagination, he felt that such a place should be much worse than what he saw now.
The car was driving on the winding mountain road, and the driving was a young man, but it was obvious that he was quite familiar with the place here. He should be a local or had lived here for several years. Although he was just wearing casual clothes, Luo Ding still "smelled" the smell of a soldier from the person who drove the car, and then recalling Yue Pu Shu's identity before, it was obvious that what kind of background this person who drove the car was.
Looking at the hills that overlapped one after another outside through the car window, Wang Mingshan remembered the two people sitting with him now. Whether it was Luo Ding or Kong Ren, they were all Feng Shui masters. He couldn't help but feel moved. He remembered that the old man started his business here, that is, this place was a Feng Shui treasure land. Wang Mingshan really wanted to hear Luo Ding and Kong Ren's views on Feng Shui here at this time.
"Master Luo, Master Konger, what do you think of the Feng Shui here?" Wang Mingshan asked.
As a Feng Shui master, whenever Luo Ding arrives at a place, he will naturally focus his attention on the identification of Feng Shui pattern at the first time. It can be said that others may be watching the scenery under such circumstances, but Luo Ding is watching Feng Shui.
At this time, when he heard Wang Mingshan ask, Luo Ding smiled and said, "In Feng Shui, mountains are a very important content, which is usually the external manifestation of the dragon vein. Yuncheng is a mountainous place, so the Feng Shui here is naturally excellent."
Naturally, Luo Ding would not say very detailed about a certain Feng Shui at this time. One is that this is impossible, and the other is that there is no need to do this at all. You should know that this is where the elderly started their careers. With such a background, it is not good to say it too detailed, and there is always a little concern.
Wang Mingshan naturally understood Luo Ding's concerns, so he did not ask too much, but said: "Master Luo, I have a question or a doubt. I wonder if I can ask for advice?"
Luo Ding nodded and said, "No problem, of course."
"That's right. Our country's inland is mostly mountainous and hilly. Although I don't know much about Feng Shui, I also know that only places with mountains can have dragon veins. Since these places are mountainous, it means that with dragon veins, there may be places with good Feng Shui patterns. But why are the inland areas in our country worse than coastal areas in terms of economy or living standards?"
Wang Mingshan’s question is quite difficult to answer, because from the perspective of Feng Shui, it is indeed the case. Although it does not mean that places with mountains must be places with good Feng Shui, places without mountains must be places with bad Feng Shui. This is indeed certain, because only places with mountains can form caves and form a good Feng Shui pattern. But the current situation is that the economic level of these mountainous places is much lower than that of coastal places without mountains or with few mountains. No matter who it is, no one can deny this.
When Wang Mingshan asked such a question, Kong Ye raised his eyebrows. He also wanted to hear what Luo Ding thought about this issue, or how Luo Ding solved this problem. This is a "modern problem" that all Feng Shui masters must face. If this problem cannot be solved, how could he convince others to believe in Feng Shui as a Feng Shui master?
Luo Ding did not stump this problem. He immediately said: "Director Wang, first of all, I want to correct your idea, that is, in Feng Shui, the so-called mountain does not only refer to the mountain range we see now, that is, the dragon vein is not just such a form of expression."
"Ah? There are other forms?" Wang Mingshan asked in surprise.
"Of course." Luo Ding paused for a moment before continuing: "Maybe it would be easier to explain this way. In Feng Shui, according to the terrain, it can be divided into flat Feng Shui and mountain Feng Shui."
"The so-called mountain Feng Shui naturally refers to places with mountains. In such places, the so-called dragon veins refer to mountains. And the so-called flat veins, because there are no mountains, from the perspective of Feng Shui masters, all the uplifting areas of mounds, etc. can actually become dragon veins. So, it does not mean that there are no dragon veins on the flat or the eastern coastal areas. Not to mention, there are also mountains in many places on the eastern coastal areas, but in comparison, it is not as many and as tall as we see here."
Wang Mingshan nodded gently, "Master Luo, what do you mean is that from this perspective, the eastern coastal areas can actually form a good Feng Shui pattern?"
"That's right, that's what it means. So if we think that we can't form a good Feng Shui pattern because we can't see mountains on the eastern coast, that's wrong."
Kong Ye nodded secretly in his heart. Luo Ding's explanation was tenable. At this time, he suddenly realized that Luo Ding was not only a master in practice, but also a real master in theory, so what he said was full of persuasion.
In fact, this is not easy to do. Many Feng Shui masters practice it. This is because these Feng Shui masters have slowly gained their fame from practice. In today's terms, their ability to do their hands is much stronger than their ability to do their writing. In fact, this is also the result of traditional Feng Shui theories mostly relying on masters to lead them in.
But he is an alien. He has never followed any master before, but has become a conscious talent after obtaining superpowers. More importantly, Luo Ding realized very early on that in a society like this, if Feng Shui masters cannot convince others theoretically, then such Feng Shui masters will not be recognized by many people - the era of traveling the world by relying on mystery is outdated for Feng Shui masters.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Luo Ding is also extremely powerful in Feng Shui theory.
"That doesn't mean that the economic level of the inland will definitely be worse than that of the coastal areas."
Wang Mingshan’s rhetoric makes sense. Even if there are no mountains on the coast, there are still "dragon veins" and can form a good Feng Shui pattern. Since there are mountains in the inland areas and a good Feng Shui pattern can also be formed, it is natural that there can be a good economic level. However, the reality is that in inland areas, except for some places, most places are relatively poor.
"In Feng Shui, in addition to the dragon vein, there is also water, so a place with mountains and water is the real place with good Feng Shui pattern. Let's not talk about this for now. I understand Director Wang's doubts, so I will explain this in detail on this issue."
"The dragon vein in the world comes from Kunlun Mountain and then branches. In our country, it mainly walks from west to east. The place where the dragon vein starts is Zushan. While walking rushing, it slowly goes eastward. In fact, in the dragon vein, the best place or the most suitable place for people to live is not near Zushan."
"Ah? Why? Isn't the Feng Shui in Zushan better?" Wang Mingshan didn't understand it again.
"That's not what it means. It's not wrong to have good Feng Shui in a place close to Zushan, but how can ordinary people bear such Feng Shui? This principle is like if the whole Feng Shui is a cake weighing ten tons, can a person eat it? Of course, it can't be eaten, and even pressure can crush you to death! In such a place, what's the use of Feng Shui?"
Wang Mingshan was speechless. People always subconsciously felt that the better Feng Shui, the more suitable the place for people to live, but they never thought that only the right ones were the best.
"Our west, that is, inland areas, where mountains are surrounded by places that are prone to have good Feng Shui patterns, but they are not necessarily suitable for people to live - because the dragon vein in these places is too heavy, it is not suitable for people to live, unless there are mountains and rivers, and the existence of rivers allows these dragon vein energy to be neutralized to a certain extent, which is conducive to people's living. This is why in inland areas, only large cities can be formed only in places with big rivers."
Konger didn't expect Luo Ding to explain the unbalanced economic development between the eastern and western regions, inland and coastal areas from this direction, but you must admit that Luo Ding's explanation can be tenable, at least it is a one-on-one opinion.
"When the dragon vein reached the eastern coastal area, it was far away from Kunlun Mountain, so the dragon vein's energy was no longer so strong. Instead, it was suitable for people to live after the acupoints, so there could be economics in places where people could be. This is why the economy will be better in places along the coastal areas."
Luo Ding knew that in modern theory, he would believe that the economy will flourish because of convenient transportation in coastal areas, but that was just an economic theory. From the standpoint of a Feng Shui master, Luo Ding naturally would not analyze the whole thing in this way.
Land Rover is driving rapidly on the winding mountain road, giving people the feeling of a little beetle walking through the jungle. It has to be said that in such a place, people feel quite small, because outside the car windows, there are sometimes a mountain that is hundreds or thousands of meters long, or the abyss that are hundreds or thousands of meters on the roadside. In such a place, can people not feel that they are quite small?
After Luo Ding's explanation, Wang Mingshan and Kong did not speak for a while. They were obviously thinking about Luo Ding's words, so naturally the driver would not interrupt. Under such circumstances, the entire carriage was silent, and Luo Ding also enjoyed such a situation quite a bit.
After thinking for a while, Luo Ding opened the car window and left a crack. A stream of fresh air immediately came in. It was sunny outside now, but Luo Ding found that the air here was still at a very suitable temperature and the humidity was quite good. All this shows that the mountains here are still maintained well.
Feng Shui is naturally good in such places. If a person can occasionally live in such places for a while, it will be beneficial to his or her physical luck. However, if he or she lives in such places for a long time, he or she will not be able to bear it. Maybe he or she can use a medical saying to explain this situation, "the deficiency is not replenished" - it is okay to eat this kind of thing occasionally, but if he or she eats it frequently, it will definitely be a bad thing.
The car walked on the winding mountain road for nearly three hours before finally reaching Luo Ding's real destination this time. The place where the car stopped was a huge square.
"This is the first place where the old man was in charge of the administration, and this square is the largest building built here when he was in charge of the administration."
Wang Mingshan pointed to the square in front of him and explained to Luo Ding. Because Luo Ding had already designated to go to every place to see the large-scale buildings built by the old man when he was in charge, Wang Mingshan directly brought Luo Ding here.
"Okay, I'll take a look first."
Luo Ding nodded and then walked forward. He would take some time to take a look at such a large place.
