Chapter 195 Meeting a Mysterious Woman
The old man's words touched the hidden pain in the Feng Shui master's heart. Facing this kind and wise old man, he no longer concealed anything. He told his painful experience exactly. The reason why he confessed these things. The most private secret. Firstly, because he felt that this old man was extremely kind. Secondly, because if he confided in it, he would feel much better inside. And another thing...he vaguely felt that since the old man could see where his illness was. Maybe there will be a treatment.
The old man listened quietly and nodded from time to time. You can see the compassion and sympathy on his face. This made the Feng Shui master feel very warm. It was like a child who had suffered a great injustice and suddenly saw his parents. The tears flowed out disobediently.
After he spoke, the old man didn't speak immediately. He just patted his shoulder with his hand as if to comfort him. After a long while, when the Feng Shui master's mood stabilized a little, the old man let out a long sigh and said : "Young man, don't be sad. Blessings come with misfortune, and misfortune lies with blessings. Life is a process of blessings and misfortunes that depend on each other. Your physique is the best one for learning Feng Shui. Family happiness is good. But that's all in exchange for a lot of troubles. Life in the world is trivial and cumbersome. It feels good when you don't get it, but it doesn't matter when you get it. You have such a good talent. You will be able to see into many things that ordinary people can't see. Unexpected mystery. This is much more interesting than life in this world. Life is only a few decades, and it is all spent on the joy of being an ordinary person. What a pity."
The old man's words made the Feng Shui master feel that he was still far behind the old man in terms of the realm of life. Although these were words to comfort him, when he thought about it carefully, they made sense. So he felt a lot more relaxed.
The old man calmed down and said, "Actually, if you really want to find a woman and live a worldly life of love and children, it's not impossible."
As soon as these words came out, the Feng Shui master's eyes immediately lit up. He quickly said: "Please give me detailed advice, senior."
The old man stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and said unhurriedly in a calm voice: "You have a special personality. You must find a woman with the same special personality to calm your special Yin Qi. Then you two can have sex and have children."
"Then where to find it?" the Feng Shui master asked impatiently.
The old man smiled slightly: "I can help you. But things are unpredictable. As for whether you can really grow old with her and have children and grandchildren around your knees, you have to just let it happen."
After hearing this, the Feng Shui master couldn't help but be ecstatic. He knelt down in front of the old man with a plop. Tears filled his eyes again. The old man gently helped him up. Then he asked the Feng Shui master not to be excited. He also moved very quickly and poured the water for the Feng Shui master himself. I ordered a cup of extremely fragrant chrysanthemum tea and let him take a few sips to calm down. I returned to my seat calmly and then started talking. I talked about a special woman. And this woman... The kind that a Feng Shui master can match.
Here's the thing.
Just a few months before the Feng Shui master visited this time, this old man had just returned from collecting herbs in a large mountain. Although this mountain was thousands of miles away, the old man had been going there once a year for decades because of this mountain. The mountain is different. It is "Yinshan Mountain". It is a mountain with extremely strong yin energy. Because the mountain is extremely yin, there are many precious herbs in the mountain. One of the herbs has a miraculous effect in treating female infertility.
Of course, the medicine this old man went to the mountains to collect was different from others. He was looking for a medicine that could preserve corpses from decaying.
When the Feng Shui master heard this, he couldn't help but ask the old man: "Dare you ask me, old man? I've always been confused. Your Feng Shui school is not only good at looking at the Feng Shui of cemeteries, but why you attach so much importance to the preservation of corpses? Why not?" Study hard and study how to use medicine to treat people's illnesses."
The old man smiled faintly and then told the Feng Shui master that their sect had won supreme wealth and glory by relying on the preservation of corpses.
When the Feng Shui master heard this, he was even more confused.
The old man looked at the Feng Shui master with a confused look on his face. He said very straightforwardly that it was already the Republic of China era and there was no emperor. So he might as well tell the Feng Shui master the biggest secret of this sect: there is one person in their sect that has never been known to the outside world. , the most important top-secret mission... selected the location for the construction of tombs for many emperors in the past dynasties, and was responsible for preserving the emperor's corpse.
The Feng Shui master was shocked because he had never heard of this incident. It seemed that it had never been recorded in the history books. However, based on the old man's cultivation and status, he probably wasn't lying. He didn't expect that there was a faction in the Feng Shui community that was responsible for such a thing. An important mission.
In China, life and death have always been regarded as the two major events in life. Since this kind of service is specially provided for the royal family, the status and wealth can certainly be extraordinary.
The Feng Shui master finally understood. No wonder this sect attaches so much importance to the Feng Shui of the cemetery and the preservation of corpses. Among their secret recipes for preserving corpses, there are some important medicines that must be collected from the Yinxi Mountain.
Although there was no emperor later, there were still many wealthy officials, gentry, and wealthy people who always wanted their corpses to remain incorruptible for thousands of years. They also hoped that the feng shui of their graveyards would protect future generations, because their group enjoyed a very high reputation in this regard. .So their business is still very good. But they donated all the huge sums they earned to build bridges and roads, and to help the weak and poor.
Therefore, this old man has been going to Yinjiang Mountain every year for decades to collect medicinal materials. Although he has to travel thousands of miles and long distances, this old man never stops, even at such an old age.
Every time he goes into the mountains to collect herbs, it takes about half a month. Therefore, he will choose a village at the foot of the mountains to stay.
There are several villages in the local area. Because the old man lives there for some time every year, some villagers are very familiar with this old Taoist priest with gray hair and boyish face. They are also willing to chat with him. They also know that he is good at reading Feng Shui. The old man is also approachable. Whenever the villagers asked for something, he never refused.
One year, when the old man was living in a village at the foot of the mountain, he discovered that there were two newly built huts, which happened to be built on an "acupuncture point" in the mountain. In that hut, there lived a family of five...a couple in their thirties. .and three young children.
Based on his profound knowledge of Feng Shui, the old man determined that the "acupuncture points" of the mountain would open and close once every eighty years. In other words, every eighty years, when there was heavy rain, a new hut would be built there. A crack one foot wide suddenly appeared in this place. If ordinary people saw it, they would think it was just an accidental phenomenon caused by heavy rain. They would never think that it was regular.
According to the Feng Shui master's calculation, that year was exactly the year when the cracks were about to appear. So, he immediately advised the family to move out quickly, otherwise a disaster would be imminent.
This couple in their thirties only knew that this was an old Taoist priest who came to collect medicine. They also knew that he knew some Feng Shui. But they didn't seem to believe the old Taoist priest's words. It's no wonder. They didn't know anything about it. Having seen the old man’s Feng Shui attainments, it is of course difficult to believe them out of thin air.
And they are all ordinary poor people. Even if they build these huts, they have spent all their savings. It is not easy for the family to find a place to stay. How can they move out just because of the words of this old Taoist priest? And there is no place to move.
When the old man saw that the family didn't believe him, he felt very anxious. But he couldn't just ignore it, so he paid for it himself and quickly found someone to build a house for the family in another place. He also asked the family to They quickly moved in. When the family saw that the old Taoist priest actually spent his own money to build a new house for his family, they were of course extremely moved. Regardless of whether the old Taoist priest was accurate in his calculations, they could not live up to his sincerity, so they thanked him profusely. Just moved to a new home.
It's a coincidence that one night, five or six days after moving away, there suddenly started a downpour, with lightning and thunder. In the heavy rain, people in the nearby area rushed to the mountains to remember the loud rumbling noise and earthquake. Even the ground beneath my feet was shaking slightly.
On the second day, after the rain, the sky cleared up. Some villagers who walked out of their homes were surprised to find that where the family of five had built their hut, there was a large crack that was a foot wide and bottomless. .The whole hut fell into this big crack. No trace was visible.
After this incident, the old man's reputation quickly spread in the local area, especially the rescued family of five. They even had a memorial tablet of the old man at home and burned incense to worship him every day. There was even a temple specially built for the old man in the local area. . He treated him like a god and stood up to him. Although the old man tried his best to stop it, it had no effect. In the end, he just let nature take its course and let him be.
But since then, as long as the old man appears in the local area, there will be an endless stream of people visiting him every day. Just like in the past, as long as he does not go up the mountain to collect medicine, he will not refuse visitors. People who come to visit, for whatever reason. Yes, but at most they ask for a Feng Shui check or a doctor. Local officials and gentry are also vying to let the old man live in their homes. They want to take the opportunity to have a good chat with the old man. But the old man always refuses politely. Every time he They all live in the most ordinary homes. When they leave, they always leave a lot of money behind.
A few months before the Feng Shui master came to visit him, the old man had just returned from collecting herbs from that mountain. During the period when he was living in a nearby village, he encountered such a strange thing.
There was a woman in the village. She was definitely one of the best in the area in terms of appearance and beauty. So, she married well. She married the son of a very wealthy local gentry, and she also became the first wife. Although The gentleman's son is a little fat and ugly, but his character is relatively honest. He also likes this newly married daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as a flower.
The woman's family was even more happy: they had been poor for generations, but they didn't expect that because of a beautiful daughter, they would rise to the top. It was really a blessing from their ancestors. The poor had no other hope. With such a prestigious in-law, they finally turned around. Even relatives and neighbors think highly of themselves. Isn't that what people live their lives for?
