It turns out that this middle-aged man is the person in charge of a real estate construction company affiliated to Sanxiang Group, named Liu Xiangke. In terms of real estate development business, he can be regarded as Long Wuye's right-hand man. He is currently in charge of an old city reconstruction and development project.
And it was precisely this project that had caused so much trouble in his home for nearly half a month.
Xiangsha City is an ancient city with a history of two thousand years. Many ancient buildings are still preserved in the city center. The old city reconstruction project that Liu Xiangke is responsible for is the demolition of an ancient building with a history of more than two hundred years.
, and plans to build a dozens-storey commercial building on the original site.
Logically speaking, an ancient building with so many years of history should be considered a cultural relic building and cannot be demolished at will. However, because this building happens to be located in the commercial center of Xiangsha City, the land parcel has huge commercial value.
After the reform and opening up, some people tried to explore its potential
The commercial value of the building was transformed into a restaurant on the basis of preserving its original architectural style. Therefore, in a sense, it can also be regarded as a commercial building, so Sanxiang Group used some tricks to transform the building into a restaurant.
The building was bought at a high price from the original owner and was developed for real estate development.
At first, the demolition went very smoothly, and the buildings on the ground were quickly demolished. However, when digging the foundation, a stone beast weighing nearly two tons was dug out underground.
This stone beast was very beautifully carved, because Liu Xiangke knew that Long Wuye liked antiques, so he had the stone beast cleaned and quietly sent to Long Wuye.
Unexpectedly, Long Wuye not only confiscated it, but also scolded Liu Xiangke. It turned out that the Bagua alchemy furnace that almost sucked out Wang Hai Yuanyang was given by Liu Xiangke. After that incident, Long Wuye did not dare to accept it anymore.
It was something dug out from the ground. But Liu Xiangke didn't have a long memory and actually sent such a stone beast to Master Long Wu. It was inevitable that he would be scolded.
He wanted to flatter him, but he slapped him on the leg instead. Liu Xiangke was very depressed, but he couldn't bear to throw away the stone beast, so he had the stone beast moved to his house and placed it in the living room.
Unexpectedly, ever since this stone beast entered his home, evil things would happen one after another.
His house is a single-family villa with a hill behind it, but because there is a nanny at home and the house is usually kept very clean, mice have almost never been seen in the house before, but when the stone beast moved into his house
On the second day after he returned home, his nanny found a dead one next to the stone beast.
Rats, at first, everyone thought it was just an occasional incident and did not take it to heart. However, after that, almost every morning when they woke up, they would see dead rats next to the stone beast, and sometimes there would be more than one.
, at most, seven or eight mice died next to the stone beast at the same time.
But that's not all. One night, Liu Chengwu got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Suddenly he heard a "rustling" sound coming from the living room. Liu Chengwu thought it was another mouse, so he quietly sneaked into the living room to check. He left
Entering the living room, he suddenly turned on the light, and was shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw that the body of the stone beast was actually covered with dense snakes!
At this time, Liu Xiangke was completely frightened. This was so evil that he did not dare to place the stone beast at home again. He had someone take it away the next day. He originally thought that the stone beast had been taken away.
Everything went fine after that, but he didn't expect that after that day, his wife
The sons both suffered from the same strange disease. Their symptoms were almost the same. Their faces were as pale as paper, their speech was weak, their bodies were weak, they were in a daze, and from time to time they said some nonsense that others could not understand. More importantly, the two of them were
He actually didn't recognize him anymore.
They were sent to the hospital for examination. The hospital said that their white blood cells were low, which may be a leukemia attack. As for their confusion, it may be complications caused by leukemia. However, neither he nor his wife had a history of leukemia in their families.
How come there are two mothers and two children?
What about people getting sick at the same time? Moreover, the symptoms of the two people are actually somewhat different from leukemia. In addition, coupled with a series of evil things caused by the stone beast, Liu Xiangke believes that the reason why his wife and son got this strange disease is
It is most likely caused by evil spirits.
Because he heard that Wang Hai had been possessed by an evil spirit and was rescued by an expert, he went to find Wang Hai, and Wang Hai asked him to find me.
Jianjian and I listened to Liu Xiangke's story and looked at each other. Neither of us spoke. It sounds like this matter that Liu Xiangke's family encountered is not an ordinary Feng Shui problem. With our current level, we want to solve it.
, I’m afraid it’s still a bit tricky.
But after all, this is the first business that comes to our shop. If we refuse him directly, then our shop will probably close down.
I thought for a moment and asked Liu Xiangke: "Mr. Liu, do you have a photo of that stone beast?"
Yes! Yes! Liu Xiangke immediately took out a photo from his briefcase and handed it over.
Jianjian and I took a look and saw in the photo, a squatting bluestone beast. The stone beast looked a bit like the legendary unicorn, but it had a pair of wings on both sides of its body, and on its forehead
Right above it, there is a unicorn. The stone beast has an angry look and a big mouth.
Slightly opened, it looks majestic. The body of the stone beast is carved with exquisite patterns, and under the left side of the body of the stone beast, there is a row of black and red text, which seems to be written with red paint, but because of the angle of the photo
The problem is not very clear.
I stared at the photo for a while, then raised my head and asked Liu Xiangke: "Has this stone beast been thrown into the Xiangjiang River now?"
Liu Xiangke nodded: "It's such an evil thing, of course I threw it into the river."
"Can we still catch it again?"
Liu Xiangke looked embarrassed: "The weight of this thing is not light, it weighs several thousand kilograms, and the current where it was thrown is strong, so it may be difficult to salvage it again." At this point, he asked again: "Master Mo, this is
What on earth is this?"
I said: "Judging from the photo alone, this stone beast should be the legendary Haechi, which is the unicorn beast in ancient Chinese mythology. It is an auspicious beast. It is said that it can distinguish right from wrong and know good and evil."
Loyal and traitorous objects were usually placed in front of ancient government offices to symbolize fairness and justice."
"Since it is an auspicious beast placed at the entrance of the government office, why is it so evil?" Liu Xiangke was puzzled.
I smiled and said, "Whether it is evil or not, it has nothing to do with where the stone beast is placed. There may be something wrong with the stone itself that carved the stone beast, or something evil may have happened to the stone beast."
Hearing what I said so eloquently, Liu Xiangke showed a hint of admiration for me in his eyes.
I added: "However, we haven't seen the stone beast after all, so I'm afraid things are still a little difficult to handle."
When Liu Xiangke heard this, he looked anxious and said: "Master Mo, you have to help me no matter what, save my wife and children. Just ask for how much money you need."
I quickly said: "This is not a matter of money. If we can help, we will do our best! Otherwise, let's keep this photo to see if we can find some clues about the stone beast. We have to get it first
Only by knowing the origin of the stone beast can we prescribe the right medicine."
"Okay! Okay! Then I'll wait for your news, Master Mo. I'll leave this to you."
After Liu Xiangke left, Jianjian stared at me in disbelief and said, "I didn't expect you know so much! You actually know about Haizhi, I've never even heard of it."
"Who told you not to read more books! I have specifically studied "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"!"
"Then what do you think happened to Mr. Liu's family?"
I shook my head and said: "We can't be sure yet. Judging from the photo, the stone used for this stone beast is nothing special. Moreover, if it is a problem with the stone, after Mr. Liu sank the stone beast into the Xiangjiang River,
, there should be no more evil happening in his family."
"Yeah, this is really strange. Even though the stone beast was thrown out, why did his wife and children get sick instead?"
I looked at the photo of the stone beast in my hand again, pointed to the lower left side of the stone beast's body and said to Jianjian: "Look here, it seems that something is written with red paint or cinnabar or something like that."
, I was wondering if it might have anything to do with this."
Jianjian looked at the photo and asked, "Then what should we do now?"
I said: "This stone beast should have some origins. We can show the photo to Boss Wen. He knows the history of Xiangsha City better and may be able to know something."
"That makes sense. It's not too late. Let's go find him now!"
Our shop was right next to Guyuan Pavilion. We went straight to Guyuan Pavilion. Wen Qingshan happened to be in the shop. When he saw me coming, he asked, "Why, is there still no business?"
I chuckled and said, "We finally have business today, and it's a big deal!"
"Oh? What big business?" Wen Qingshan asked quickly.
I told Wen Qingshan about the evil things that Liu Xiangke had encountered, and handed him the photo of the stone beast. Wen Qingshan took the photo and looked at it carefully and said: "This is indeed a Haechi. From its
Judging from the shape and carving craftsmanship, it should be from the Qing Dynasty. It is not that old, so it should not be difficult to find out its origin."
"So Boss Wen, you have something to offer?"
Wen Qingshan nodded and said: "Generally speaking, there are two possibilities for a stone beast like this to be buried underground. One is that it has experienced the baptism of war and artillery fire, which led to the stone beast being buried underground. The other is that it has experienced the baptism of war and artillery fire.
Second, someone took the initiative to bury it underground. As far as I know, the ancient building that Sanxiang Group is demolishing was built in
The Qing Dynasty has a history of more than 200 years, which means that this stone beast was buried underground at least more than 200 years ago. Although the Qing court at that time was in decline, relatively speaking
, it can be considered that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there are no major wars, so this stone beast is probably buried underground on purpose."
