There is a high-end villa community near Zizhuyuan in the West Third Ring Road. There are lawns everywhere in the community, and the trees are already lush as soon as the spring comes. Broad roads and gravel paths intersect in the community, with short mountains and strange rocks, and artificial lakes with flat waves.
Like a mirror
, waterside pavilions and pavilions on the lake, single-family villas that look like Jiangnan ancient buildings, modern style, or European style, like garden pavilions, are nondescript but elegant and beautifully dotted in this vast community.
Just by looking at the area and the elegant garden-style community environment, you can imagine how expensive the villas in this community are.
Xiao Zhen, president of Tianmao Group in Yuzhou Province, bought a two-bedroom courtyard-style villa here last year. He originally bought this villa with the idea of investment, and secondly, he really liked the elegant environment and architectural style here.
It is unique. I think I will inevitably come to the capital often in the future. Having such an elegant house is convenient for welcoming guests and socializing. In addition, I can give it away if necessary.
The interior of the courtyard is completely decorated according to the style of the mansion gates in the old capital. It is not ostentatious and luxurious, but is thick and simple, revealing a strong cultural and historical heritage.
Xiao Zhen's cousin, Xiao Panorama, has been living here for almost two months.
In his political career for most of his life, this old man, who has held office in two provinces and four cities and then entered the political center of the capital, has experienced too many storms and waves. Generally speaking, he has risen through the ranks step by step without any danger. He has been in the officialdom for a long time.
of him as a person
Xiaoyi is extremely cautious in everything he does. It cannot be said that he has made no mistakes in the officialdom, but he always leaves enough room for backup. In the past three years after entering Beijing, things were relatively smooth at the beginning, and he was expected to advance to the next level. Who would have thought that he would be like this later?
Encountering difficulties many times,
If you think about it carefully, it seems that the failure in the officialdom in the past three years is completely due to a lack of luck, which has been carried to the extreme.
This evening.
A black Audi A6 slowly drove to the entrance of the courtyard. Xiao Quanquan, who was wearing a black suit and looking tired, got out of the car. After briefly saying a few words to his secretary, he let him leave with the car and walked alone.
Entered the courtyard.
Since he moved into this courtyard house, he has only hired a nanny, Xiao Liu, to live with him. Even his family members have not come with him because Xiao Quanquan just wants to be alone and quietly after get off work every day or on weekends. Later, I’ll think about more things.
After walking through the atrium and coming to the backyard, nanny Xiao Liu came out of the west wing and said respectfully: "Director Xiao, Mr. Shi is waiting for you in the living room."
"Oh." Xiao Quanjing responded and walked towards the main hall.
The nanny asked again: "What's for dinner?"
"Let's talk about it later." Xiao Quanquan waved his hand gently.
In the living room of the main hall, Shi Linhuan, who was wearing a light-colored Tang suit, was sitting beside the dark brown wooden table, calmly and slowly sipping hot tea that he had brewed without the help of a nanny. He saw Xiao Jingjing enter.
In the room, Shi Linhuan stood up with a smile and said: "Director Xiao is back, sit down quickly, the tea has just been made."
Xiao Quanjing sat down at the coffee table, stretched out his hand slightly and said politely: "I've kept Mr. Shi waiting for a long time."
"Director Xiao, you're welcome."
"How is the feng shui of this courtyard house?"
“Excellent.”
"Then if I live here, can I change my luck?" Xiao Quanjing asked directly. If it were before, he would definitely not say these words to a charlatan who practices Feng Shui, Kanyu and physiognomy. To be more precise, both parties are sitting together.
They may not be together - what is Xiao Quanjing's identity? Who is Shi Linhuan? He is not a person on the same level at all. How can Shi Linhuan be qualified to sit and drink tea and talk with Xiao Quanghuan on an equal footing, and still act like a master?
Spectrum?
Shi Linhuan sighed softly, shook his head and said: "I have told you frankly before that Director Xiao, your luck is not directly related to the feng shui of your residence and workplace, but is caused by evil things.
Your luck is extremely low. No matter Feng Shui or Yin Yang and Five Elements techniques, they cannot change your luck immediately, and it is even more difficult to change your luck.
It has been smooth sailing for your career to rise again from the trough. Today, Mr. Xiao and I went to your house to check, and also went near your workplace to confirm that the feng shui is good and no evil things will breed. So I can be sure that your
Yin evil spirits may be caused by the magic of warlocks, or you may have been to a special place and have been contaminated by evil spirits."
Xiao Quanquan frowned and said: "According to your sorcerers, evil things should not be able to harm me."
"Yes." Shi Linhuan nodded, not at all nervous because of Xiao Jingjing's dissatisfied attitude and tone, and said calmly: "Or you can think about it, when your luck was extremely low, have you ever prayed to gods or worshiped in temples?
"
"Joke!" Xiao Quanjing looked arrogant and cold.
"Then there are only the first two possibilities. Think about it."
Xiao Quanquan took a bag of soft Chinese medicine from under the coffee table, took out one and dotted it, and said lightly: "You told Xiao Zhen that my luck has the opportunity to change, why don't you say the same to me now?"
"Luck can be changed, but it can only be done by removing yin and turning evil spirits to prevent your luck from falling further."
"Mr. Shi, please don't talk to me about this kind of nonsense." A flash of disdain flashed across Xiao Quanjing's expression, and he said, "Just tell me how much it will cost."
Shi Linhuan could naturally see what Xiao Quanjing was thinking, but he didn't care at all. He shook his head with a smile and said calmly: "This matter is not about money. Director Xiao is in a high position and holds great power.
The families in Yuzhou Province are very powerful, so naturally they will not look down on us sorcerers, who are often called charlatans, but..." Shi Linhuan took a sip of tea and said: "Director Xiao enters on his own.
After entering the officialdom, although it is not a smooth success in the past few decades, there have been no dangers until now. As the saying goes, it is always cold at high places. After entering the central place, although Director Xiao's official position was promoted, the pressure was also doubled. After exhausting his efforts, it was inevitable that everything was under control.
, so when Director Xiao had a few initial setbacks, he thought of relying on imaginary gods for help. To put it bluntly, this is also a case of seeking medical treatment in a hurry, right?"
Xiao Quanquan raised his thick eyebrows and said nothing, but narrowed his eyes and stared at Shi Linhuan.
Shi Linhuan didn't care that what he just said violated a taboo, and smiled and continued: "It's easy to ask the gods, but it's hard to send them away. Director Xiao would never have thought that it was just a small and casual move to reassure himself, but it would actually cause his own disaster.
Luck is getting tougher."
"What move?" Xiao Jingjing asked in a deep voice.
"Worship God!" Shi Linhuan's tone was calm, his expression calm but extremely determined.
Xiao Jingjing remained silent.
Shi Linhuan was not in a hurry to speak, and calmly poured a cup of tea for himself. Then he poured a cup of tea for Xiao Quanquan and gently pushed it over.
It's so quiet inside that you can hear the sound of a needle dropping.
After a while, Xiao Quanjing finally showed his sincere respect and said, "Why?"
"Director Xiao has been an official for many years. Naturally, he has an aura of righteousness and is invulnerable to ghosts and gods." Shi Linhuan did not take the opportunity to make a comment and said: "Unfortunately, good and evil are like yin and yang, which can blend in and contradict each other. Director Xiao is not at ease.
Ning, I don’t believe in myself or the authority of the official, but I just believe in this illusory thing.
The gods naturally gave opportunities for evil things to take advantage of and hid them in the body. This yin was not the yin of the human body, and was inconsistent with Director Xiao's own yang. Moreover, Director Xiao's state of mind was restless, so it took away Director Xiao's life.
Luck and mind, as a result, Director Xiao's own luck will naturally fall again and again."
"Mr. Shi is really a master!" Xiao Quanjing sighed and raised his hand to touch the sparse hair on his head a few times. He already had an old look because he was upset because of everything going wrong, but he became more decadent and depressed.
Two years ago, he encountered an official dispute for the first time. He was under great pressure. When he was upset, he wanted to hit the wall everywhere, and there was almost no solution to the problem. So he went to the scenic spot in the mountains of Huairou County, capital of the capital, to relax alone. On the way, he saw an incense-burning statue in the scenic spot.
The little temple was withered, and he really wanted to seek medical treatment for his illness, so he entered the temple and worshiped sincerely, praying to the gods in the underworld to help him avoid the disaster of officialdom.
In fact, he had had this idea for a long time, but it was inconvenient to go to a large temple to pray and worship in order to avoid his identity. However, there were not many tourists in this small temple, so it would not be known to others, so he went in to worship by the way. Unexpectedly, after returning, things would turn out differently.
There was a turning point, allowing him to avoid the disaster. When
At that time, he was still wondering whether there was really some help from the gods, and he was very happy in his heart. However, after that, his luck began to decline continuously, everything went wrong, and he was gradually marginalized within the department, and even...
Opinions against him began to appear in places where he had served as an official.
Looking at Xiao Quanjing's tired and frustrated expression, Shi Linhuan smiled lightly and said: "Director Xiao, don't worry too much. There are experts to help you this time. As long as you can stay calm, it will not be difficult to start well and end well in the officialdom."
"Is there another expert?" Xiao Quanjing was stunned.
"Yes." Shi Linhuan nodded.
"Who?"
"He's just a charlatan." Shi Linhuan put down his tea cup and said calmly: "Director Xiao doesn't need to know who he is. People who live in temples are naturally inconvenient for charlatans to come into contact with."
Xiao Quanjing stopped asking about the identity of the expert, and instead said: "I once thought that if a mountain is not high, it will be famous if there is an immortal, and I never thought that a small temple will be surrounded by evil spirits. No wonder the temple will be deserted and without incense. If I had known this, I would have
Just find a master like Mr. Shi to relieve your worries, or go to a larger Taoist temple or temple to pray and offer incense."
"You can't go and offer incense."
"Why?"
"Both are incompatible. Don't say there is no true god. Even if there is a true god, it cannot bear the worship of an official, especially a high-ranking official like Director Xiao. Not only will it not bring luck, but it will lead to disaster. You need to know everything in the world.
What is strong is easy to break." Shi Linhuan
Frankly speaking, there were just some things that he was not comfortable being honest with Xiao QuanJing. For example, if Xiao QuanJing went to a small temple to worship gods and pray for good luck, and was contaminated with evil spirits, it was more likely that it was not a coincidence, but a warlock.
Plan the pit dug for Xiao Panorama early.
Xiao Quanquan smiled bitterly and sighed. He didn't bother to pay attention to these godly words before. But now he has to believe it and regret it.
While talking, footsteps were heard outside.
Xiao Zhen, who was in a suit and leather shoes, strode in, greeted Xiao Quanquan first, then sat on the sofa, took out two bladders, one black and one white, and handed them to Shi Linhuan, saying: "Mr. Shi, this is Su Chunfeng
The two ebony core ball bladders made last night are really amazing, please help me take a look."
Shi Linhuan took the two bladders, looked through them calmly, and said, "Mr. Xiao, did you take these two bladders for some medical evaluation?"
Xiao Zhen smiled and said: "I'm not worried, so I went to have it appraised."
"It's understandable." Shi Linhuan said, with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't say anything more, but carefully looked at the two smooth, fat-like bladders, one black and one white.
