Chapter two hundred and seventy seventh can only be understood
When Zhao Heng asked who had the half-finished products of the ten half-life beads, Meng Guangxi thought about it for a moment: "Well, I remember that person's name is, yes, Xue Chen!"
"Xue Chen?!"
When Zhao Heng on the other side of the phone heard the name, his tone suddenly rose 180 degrees, containing anger and deep resentment.
Meng Guangxi was startled by Zhao Heng's fierce reaction: "Zhao Heng, what's wrong with you?"
On the other side of the phone, Zhao Heng, who was in Xiangjiang, jumped up from his chair almost instantly when he heard the name coming out of Meng Guangxi's mouth, and his face became extremely ugly.
It had been a long time since he last heard this name, but he still remembered it freshly. He often remembered it inadvertently, and every time he thought of this name, he had the urge to kill!
How could he forget the injuries he suffered in Haicheng, which almost made him unable to stand up at Fuji Auction, if his master hadn't helped him!
"Xue Chen, Xue Chen! It's him!"
Zhao Heng gasped and repeated the name repeatedly.
"Zhao Heng, what's going on? Do you know this person?" Meng Guangxi asked strangely. He felt that something was wrong with Zhao Heng's tone.
"Know? More than just acquaintance!" Zhao Heng suppressed his anger and said almost through gritted teeth.
It was precisely because of Xue Chen that Fuji Auction's Yunzhou branch completely collapsed. He had a bright future and was rejected because of it, and had to return to Xiangjiang in despair. How could he forget? He had already been engraved
In my heart, I secretly cursed countless times.
When Meng Guangxi heard Zhao Heng's tone across from him, he could already imagine that the look on Zhao Heng's face must be ugly. How could he guess that there was a conflict between Zhao Heng and Xue Chen.
But he is not interested in the grudges between Zhao Heng and Xue Chen. What he is most concerned about now is whether he can get the half-finished half-life beads. This is the most important thing: "Zhao Heng, you have a way to get it from Xue Chen's hands."
Got the half-finished Half Life Pearl?"
Zhao Heng, who just promised to help Meng Guangxi, became quiet. After a long silence, he said: "I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter. This Xue Chen is a bit special. Even Xu Ming wouldn't give it to him.
And no one I know has a good relationship with him, so I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do.”
When Meng Guangxi heard what Zhao Heng said, he felt disappointed.
"Brother Meng, I have to remind you that Xue Chen is very difficult to deal with and has a very cunning personality. It may not be easy to get the things in his hands." Zhao Heng said one last time.
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Guangxi sighed, stood up and started packing his luggage.
When Meng Guangxi gave up and decided to return, Xue Chen had also returned home with nine jade beads. After returning home, he picked up each of the nine jade beads and looked at them.
The authentic Feng Shui instruments he had seen had no aura before they were completely made, but the Half Life Bead was obviously an exception. Although the last step had not been completed, it already had a trace of aura, which showed that the Half Life Bead was different.
"Eighteen steps completed, only the last step left..."
After Xue Chen put down the wooden box, he took the book recording the Feng Shui instruments placed aside in his hand, turned to the page about the Half Life Bead and looked at it carefully, going through all the nineteen steps, especially
In the last step, I read it three times in a row to see it thoroughly and clearly.
The last step is only a sketch with eight characters. The sketch shows a man with a bun sitting cross-legged, his hands on his knees, and a few jade beads in each palm. The eight characters also look very simple.
Easy to understand: no distracting thoughts, comprehensive understanding.
After reading the last step, Xue Chen thought for a long time, and finally put the wooden box away. He didn't plan to try it immediately, at least he had to be certain.
The last step didn't seem difficult, but in his opinion it was definitely not that easy. Otherwise, Mr. Xun would have succeeded long ago, and it would be impossible for Mr. Wang to be the only one who can do it.
Naturally, he knew these eight words, but they were really ambiguous. What meant being clear of distractions and what meant being fully integrated. There were only nine jade beads, and one was missing one. He didn't want to use them all in a daze.
After putting the wooden box away, Xue Chen still held the book and pondered the sketch and the eight characters on it. The movements on the sketch were very simple and easy to do, so the key point must be on the eight characters.
After thinking for a long time, he thought of one person, Liu Chao. Liu Chao was once Mr. Wang's apprentice and was highly praised by Mr. Wang. He might be able to give him some help.
When the phone call came through, Xue Chen got straight to the point and talked about the semi-finished Half Life Pearl he purchased from Mr. Xun, and then asked about the nineteenth step of the Half Life Pearl: "Brother Liu, do you know?"
What do these eight words, "Be clear of distracting thoughts and understand everything" mean?"
Liu Chao on the other side of the phone paused and said, "I actually don't understand these eight words very well. I asked Mr. Wang before, and he just smiled and told me that these eight words can only be understood.
It’s indescribable.”
After hearing Liu Chao's answer, Xue Chen felt helpless.
"Haha, I think you are confused. In fact, I was just like you. I didn't give up and asked a question. Finally, Mr. Wang told me that he had not thoroughly studied the secrets of the Half Life Pearl, and the success rate was also very low.
"It's low, but the most important thing is not to have too strong a utilitarian mentality, that is, only by having no desires or demands can you succeed." Liu Chao said again.
"That's it." Xue Chen said softly, and said thank you to Liu Chao.
After a brief chat with Liu Chao, he accidentally mentioned the Wang family. Liu Chao told Xue Chen a piece of news that surprised Xue Chen. The Wang family in Hengchuan originally had a magical artifact factory that specialized in manufacturing magical artifacts in batches and sold them to various places. The business
It was always good, and was the Wang family's biggest asset, but it went bankrupt and closed a while ago.
"I heard Gong Bocheng and Uncle Gong say that it was because the Wang family offended a big shot because of the Half Life Pearl, but I don't know who it was." There was no gloating in Liu Chao's voice, only a slight sigh.
Xue Chen suddenly thought of the taciturn man in black who was in the buyer's house at that time. Could it be him?
…
In the evening, at an old restaurant, Wang Dong took a mouthful of pig head meat and threw it into his mouth. While chewing, he looked at Xue Chen and said with a grin.
"Old Xue, I specifically asked Mr. Liu about the Half-Life Bead you bought. Oh, it really shocked me. From what Mr. Liu said, the Half-Life Bead is a very precious magic weapon that can be protected and worn.
A lot of people survived half their lives. Is it really that miraculous?"
"You ask me, how do I know? Although I have seen the real Half-Life Pearl, I have only seen it. As for whether it is really that magical, I don't know. The effect is definitely there, but it is quite
Half a life may be too exaggerated." Xue Chen replied and expressed his own opinion.
Perhaps because he had seen a lot in the past few days, Wang Dong suddenly became interested in Feng Shui and kept asking questions. Xue Chen also occasionally replied.
While chatting, Wang Dong suddenly said: "Old Xue, you said that Feng Shui can protect the home and ward off evil spirits, and can also attract wealth, so does our antique store also have to decorate it? Although there is a big gold in the store,
Toad, but I feel like that thing can’t be considered real Feng Shui, it’s just a decoration at most.”
Hearing what Wang Dong said, Xue Chen also became a little interested. Now he can be regarded as someone who has really seen Feng Shui. He knows that Feng Shui is not just a talk, but a real knowledge that can play a big role.
If feng shui is used well, it may really help the antique shop's business.
After the two had dinner, Xue Chen first drove home and took a book recording various Feng Shui tactics with him, and then drove to an antique shop.
"Old Xue, are you okay? You've only started here a few days ago, so I think we'd better ask Mr. Liu to do it for us." Wang Dong said with a smile when he saw that Xue Chen was going to fight in person.
"I can't do it, but you can? Get out of the way and don't hinder me." Xue Chen raised the corner of his mouth, walked around the antique shop twice, and then sat on the chair to read.
There are hundreds of small Feng Shui tactics recorded in ancient books, some of which protect the family, some of which ward off evil spirits, some of which play a role in promotion, and of course, those which bless wealth and prosperity.
"The golden toad offers treasures...a hundred wealth brings blessings...the golden boy announces good news..."
There are more than twenty kinds of Feng Shui tactics for attracting wealth recorded in the classics. There are so many tricks that Xue Chen was a little dazzled by them.
And every Feng Shui bureau is not just about placing some things, it also requires at least three magical instruments arranged in specific directions to form a Feng Shui bureau. Of course, the required magical artifacts are not magical artifacts containing spiritual energy, but just ordinary magical artifacts.
, enough for arranging Feng Shui bureau.
Finally, Xue Chen's eyes were fixed on a Feng Shui tactic called Sanhe Tongcai. He felt that this situation was very suitable for an antique shop. It required three magical artifacts, namely a bronze golden toad, a bronze gourd and a string of five emperors.
Money, placed in three directions, can attract wealth.
Xue Chen didn't waste much time. After making the decision, he immediately rushed to Yanchuan Road and bought the three magical tools needed by the Sanhetong Financial Bureau, and also bought a compass for choosing directions.
"Old Xue, is this really okay?" Wang Dong saw Xue Chen buying something, then he took the compass to locate it, scratched his head, and said hesitantly.
"Okay, of course it's best. If it doesn't work, it won't matter. If you're idle, you'll be idle. Just think of finding something interesting to do." Xue Chen replied as he looked down at the compass in his hand, then pointed in a direction and asked
Wang Dong moved the golden toad over, then the bronze gourd was hung on the right side of the door, and finally the Five Emperors' Coin was hung on the opposite wall opposite the store door.
When the arrangement was completed, Wang Dong, who was jumping up and down, wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Is that okay, Lao Xue?"
Xue Chen lowered his head and looked at the classics in his hand, compared them carefully, and confirmed that there were basically no mistakes. (To be continued)
