Chapter 8 Mourning Wind Sha (the 10,000-character chapter)
The charcoal fire was changed several times, and the night became darker and darker. Most of the girls couldn't bear to go to bed. At this time, the second uncle and several carpenters also came to the hall.
At twelve o'clock at midnight, it is the time to put on the beams. Now the house has no beams. Instead, the carpenter hangs a red silk peace charm in the center of the lobby roof, symbolizing the ceremony of putting on the beams.
A group of young people in front of the charcoal fire also gathered around and cheered. After Qin Yu explained to them the custom of mounting beams, everyone compared the movements of the carpenter and found that every movement indeed had a meaning.
A new mahogany ladder is a must for every new house to raise the beams. Before the carpenter installs the beams, no one can step on this ladder to show the importance of the beams.
Qin Yu and Zhang Hua stood aside, watching the carpenter read the congratulatory message and prepare to climb the stairs. His brows furrowed and he cursed in his heart: "What you want when you go up to the beam is peace and a prosperous family business, but this sad wind evil means ruining your wealth."
Bereaved, the two conflict with each other, so it would be strange if this red silk peace talisman could be hung up."
The master carpenter held the peace charm in one hand and the ladder with the other. He climbed up step by step and soon climbed to the top of the lobby. He stretched out his hand to lift the peace charm and wanted to hang it on a steel hook specially reserved on the top.
.
Woohoo~~~~~
As soon as the peace charm was hung up, the happy expression on the second uncle's face had not disappeared. A strong wind blew out of thin air, making a whining sound, causing the peace charm to sway in the air, and finally fell to the ground.
"What...what is going on!"
The crowd exclaimed, and the carpenter was stunned for a while, and then he immediately spoke to remedy the situation:
"The wind comes to bless you!"
Then he went down the stairs again, picked up the peace talisman, worshiped in all directions, and recited "Lu Ban's First Letter to Liang Wen". Then he climbed up the ladder again. This time, after hanging the peace talisman on the hook,
The carpenter's hands were fixed for a while, and he didn't notice anything strange. Then he took his hands away.
"Teng!"
As soon as the carpenter took his hands away, the peace charm began to shake again, and fell to the ground again in full view of everyone.
"Damn, you can't be so evil!"
Zhang Hua stared at the peace charm on the ground and whispered to Qin Yu beside him.
The master carpenter became at a loss. This situation was so rare that he felt as if he had seen a ghost. The second uncle's expression also became ugly.
"This is a sign of a troubled house!"
The older generation were well-informed and spoke softly. Mounting the beam is to ensure safety, but now the peace charm cannot be hung at all, which is a bad omen for the owner of the house.
There was a haze on everyone's faces. Qin Yu saw this situation and knew that this was the right time for him to appear. He told his second uncle clearly, and stepped out into the middle of the crowd.
"This is not a bad omen, it is just caused by the Feng Shui master not avoiding some evil spirits when selecting the site." Qin Yu picked up the peace charm on the ground and spoke to everyone.
"Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense!" Qin Yu's second uncle glanced at a middle-aged man next to him and interrupted Qin Yu.
Qin Yu's eyes followed his second uncle's eyes and glanced at the middle-aged man, who was wearing a felt hat and a mustache. His face was a little ugly at the moment. He stared at Qin Yu and said:
"A junior who knows nothing about Feng Shui theory is talking nonsense here. My Li family has done Feng Shui site selection for many families in the town, and I have never made any mistakes."
"If it's Mr. Li, of course he can't make a mistake, but Mr. Li, it's hard for you to say."
Qin Yu glanced at the other party. He said that a mediocre master harmed others and himself, and his eyes were arrogant. Qin Yu was not going to save face for him. If such a Feng Shui master continued to show people Feng Shui, he would only harm more people in the town.
"Otherwise, please tell me, Mr. Li, why the peace charm cannot be hung."
"this……"
Li Guofang wanted to say that it was because the master's family had bad omens, but it was difficult to say it in front of his second uncle Qin Yu.
"You want to say it's because there is a bad omen for my second uncle's family, right?"
Qin Yu sneered, glanced at Li Guofang, and said with disdain: "The theory of Feng Shui is mysterious, complex, and extremely rigorous. As a Feng Shui master, you must be meticulous and careful when selecting a site. It's just you..."
"
"Yellow mouth and white teeth, since you said there is a problem with my location selection, you have to point it out. If you can't point it out, you have to kneel down and apologize to me in front of so many people."
Li Guofang was so angry at Qin Yu's words and disdainful expression that his eyes almost burst into flames. As the only Feng Shui master in the town, he was not allowed to greet anyone he saw with a smile in the town, and he had to respectfully greet everyone who was celebrating weddings or weddings in the town.
He went and was questioned by a junior, so naturally he couldn't bear it.
"Xiaoyu!" Second uncle Qin Yu said, with a hint of worry in his voice. To be honest, he had doubts about Feng Shui if the peace talisman could not be hung. However, the Li family was the only family in the town who knew Feng Shui, so he was afraid.
Qin Yu was young and energetic but couldn't explain why. He had no way to go down when the time came.
"Second uncle, don't worry, since I dare to say it, I'm sure of it!"
Giving his second uncle an affirmative look, Qin Yu continued to ask Li Guofang:
"Mr. Li must be very clear about Feng Shui when choosing a house location."
"Humph, you're talking nonsense. Feng Shui has strict rules for the location of houses. A good house must face north and south, which means holding the sun. It is best to have green water in front of the door, and there must be wind.
A windless house is the biggest taboo when choosing a location."
Li Guofang replied with a look of displeasure. These are the basic knowledge of Feng Shui, but this junior actually used them to ask himself.
"Then Mr. Li should have noticed these things when he chose the site for my second uncle!"
"Of course!" Li Guofang said with a proud look: "Although there is no water in front of this house, there is farmland in the distance, and it can also feel like it is surrounded by green water. Look at this bright hall, facing the wide fields.
, accept the winds of the four seasons, surround it, and gather all kinds of wealth and blessings..."
"What a good person, but it's a pity that what you are trying to do is to ruin your wealth and ruin your family!" Qin Yu didn't like this kind of person who was dangling half a bucket of water, so he interrupted him without hesitation.
"You are talking nonsense..."
Li Guofang raised his eyebrows, his face turned red, and he glared at Qin Yu.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you'll know in a moment."
At this moment, Qin Yu didn't care about Li Guofang's cannibalistic look, and thought to himself:
"You only know the wind, but you don't know that the wind can be divided into yin and yang, straight and straight, and sentimental and ruthless. My second uncle's house faces a vast field. There is no obstacle to this wind. It is a straight wind, and a straight wind is ruthless.
It blew through the fields, and was absorbed by these plants, absorbing some of the vitality and yang energy. Finally, what blew into my second uncle's house was the dark wind, a ruthless wind."
"I know you will definitely say that I am talking nonsense, but I will prove it to you!"
Qin Yu walked to the table, grabbed a handful of red rice, made a mark in each of the eight directions, then turned to the stunned Zhang Hua and said:
"Cousin, I have marked the Bagua directions on the ground. You can stand at each direction and feel the wind."
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing? Do you really know Feng Shui?"
Zhang Hua asked in a low voice as he walked past Qin Yu, and then stood at the position marked by Qin Yu.
"Cousin, you are standing in the dry position now, tell me how you feel now!"
"It feels like nothing. It just feels the same as before."
"Very good, you can go and stand in another direction."
"Pretending to be mysterious!" Li Guofang curled his lower lip in disdain. He still couldn't believe that the Li family had so many years of experience in showing people Feng Shui that he was worse than a junior.
"Hey! Why do I feel a little cold? It's chilly."
Zhang Hua stepped on another direction and felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards him. This time, Qin Yu didn't need to say anything again, and turned around and stepped on another direction.
"Fuck, why is it so cold!" Li Hua stepped on a certain location and exclaimed. His whole body shivered, as if he had seen a ghost, and he immediately left that location.
Qin Yu could see clearly that what Li Hua just stepped on was the Kun position. In the Bagua, the Kun position symbolizes all three lines of Yin, and is the place with the heaviest Yin energy. Coupled with the ruthless wind, this position will be extremely cold and cold.
"Okay, cousin, there's no need to try again."
"Xiaoyu, why do I feel so cold when I stand in that position?"
Zhang Hua stood next to the Kun position, still feeling frightened. This cold feeling was like being in a frozen warehouse, with cold hairs all over his body and goosebumps all over his body.
"That's because the position you are in is called the Kun position in Bagua, which is the position where Yin gathers. In addition, the Yin wind blows in for a long time, causing the Yin energy to condense and not dissipate. Naturally, you will feel extremely cold. If you don't believe it, you can go there in person. Give it a try.”
Qin Yu's explanation caused an uproar among everyone, and everyone tried it one after another. Everyone who stepped on Kun's position was shaken, and immediately their expressions changed drastically, and their movements were exactly the same as Zhang Hua's before.
At this moment, everyone looked at Li Guofang with something wrong. They already believed Qin Yu's words. After all, everyone had experienced the coldness personally just now.
Seeing the questioning glances from everyone, Li Guofang still insisted, "What's the matter? The Kun position is originally the Yin position, and it's normal for the Yin energy to be heavier."
"Is this Yin Qi a bit heavy? Haha"
Qin Yu sneered and said: "Normally in a house, the Gan position belongs to the Yang position, where the Yang energy is the strongest. Compared with other places, it should be slightly warmer. But now, standing in the Gan position, there is no warmth at all. Feeling, Qian and Kun are in opposition. Since the Kun position is abnormally cold, the Qian position should be abnormally warm. The current imbalance of Yin and Yang is caused by the condensed Yin wind and the inability of Yang Qi to enter."
"We usually talk about Feng Shui. Feng Shui means either there is wind or it is good. Wind can also be divided into good and bad. This kind of cold and ruthless wind will only bring bad luck to the owner of the house. If it goes on for a long time, it will definitely destroy the property!"
The look on the second uncle's face has become ugly. He just stood in the Kun position and tried it. He already believed his nephew's words in his heart. He thought that if his family moved into a new house, they would be in trouble. At this moment, he looked at Li Guofang's eyes were full of evil.
"It's all nonsense, how can this style be so sophisticated!" Li Guofang's face turned red and he was still speaking out. This was related to his signature, so naturally he couldn't admit his mistakes easily.
"It seems that you are determined not to give up until you reach the Yellow River, so I'll let you see clearly!"
Qin Yu took out a talisman from his arms and said: "This Sangfeng evil spirit is the evil evil that destroys money and family. With it, it is natural that this peace talisman cannot be hung up. I have a talisman here called: Town.
Zhasha is used to suppress the evil spirits in the house!"
Qin Yu picked up the peace talisman with one hand, picked up the rice porridge for wall paste from the table with the other, smeared it on the peace talisman, and then glued the house security talisman on the back of the peace talisman.
"Master, please try hanging this safety talisman again!" After doing all this, Qin Yu handed the safety talisman to the master carpenter. Although the latter was suspicious, he still followed the instructions and stepped onto the red ladder.
It's not that Qin Yu didn't hang it himself, the ceremony of putting up the beams has always been done by the carpenter. This also has a meaning, which means: if Lu Ban makes the beams, the house will not be broken for thousands of years!
Everyone held their breath and turned their attention to the master carpenter. Even Li Guofang was no exception. He was even more worried than anyone else. But his worry was different from everyone else. What he worried about was that if the peace talisman was really hung, plus
What Qin Yu just said, I'm afraid his Feng Shui master's signature is really going to be smashed here.
"It's done, this time the peace charm doesn't shake anymore!"
"It really didn't fall off anymore. This house charm is really effective!"
The peace talisman hung on the iron hook, motionless. Everyone looked surprised, but immediately turned their attention to Li Guofang. Qin Yu had proved what he said with facts, and Li Guofang really had nothing to say this time.
Li Guofang's face was green and white, and he looked at the crowd around him. From the eyes of those people, he saw suspicion, ridicule, and the anger of the Zhang family. He wanted to say something at the moment, but nothing could be said. For a long time,
, flicked his long sleeves, and went out directly.
"Cousin, let him go!"
Qin Yu stopped the aggrieved Zhang Hua and asked Li Guofang to leave. What happened tonight has been seen by so many residents in the town. In a few days, what happened tonight will spread throughout the town. Feng Shui is not good.
Like other industries, as long as one mistake is made, even if the sign is ruined, no one in the town will ask him to help with Feng Shui again.
The Chinese way of life has always been to pay attention to others' financial opportunities, and to leave a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future! However, Qin Yu understood that if he did not point out Li Guofang's mistakes in public, he would keep him and continue to contribute to the town.
If someone looks at Feng Shui, he may see the same situation as his second uncle's house again. This is something he doesn't want to see.
"Xiaoyu, second uncle must thank you properly this time, otherwise..." Qin Yu's second uncle and third uncle walked over together. The second uncle patted Qin Yu's shoulder and said with lingering fear.
"Second uncle, we are all a family. What can I thank you for? Ask your second aunt to stew a braised pork knuckle for me. I haven't eaten the pork knuckle made by my second aunt for a long time." Qin Yu deliberately stuck out his tongue and said,
He licked it, which made the second uncle laugh and said: "It's no problem if you want to eat pork knuckles. I'll ask your aunt to make as many as you want!"
"Xiaoyu, who did you learn this Feng Shui from? And did you draw this talisman yourself?" Zhang Yuanqiao asked from the side.
"I learned it from a Taoist priest on the mountain before, and he gave me this talisman."
Qin Yu replied that he had already thought of his excuse. There was a mountain in the town, and there used to be a Taoist temple in the mountain. Unfortunately, the incense was not very popular, and there was only one Taoist priest. The Taoist priest passed away two years ago, and this Taoist temple was the only one.
It has completely declined.
In the past, Qin Yu often went to Taoist temples. Because the mountains were not very high and he was under heavy study pressure in high school, Qin Yu often climbed mountains to relieve his mood. After going there, he got to know the Taoist priests at the Taoist temples.
"So that's it. It seems that the Taoist priest was also an expert. It's a pity that he has passed away."
Zhang Yuanqiao did not doubt the authenticity of his nephew's words, and this explanation was more credible. Everyone in the crowd suddenly realized that it was taught by an expert. No wonder he knew the art of Feng Shui at a young age. Only Zhang Hua's eyes flashed with an inexplicable expression.
Shen Cai said nothing.
Qin Yu's words could deceive anyone, but they couldn't deceive him. When he saw this talisman, he thought of the wolf brush and cinnabar that Qin Yu asked him to find. But his cousin didn't want to tell him, so naturally he didn't.
Will expose it.
…………
"Crack, crackle, crackle!"
The sound of firecrackers kept ringing, and the inauguration ceremony of the second uncle's new house was very lively. More than thirty tables were set up, and after a day of commotion, everyone dispersed, and Qin Yu also followed his parents back home.
Qin Yu's parents are civil servants and are considered a well-to-do family in the town. However, because his parents have to go to work, Qin Yu is the only one in the family and it is a deserted place.
After this incident at his second uncle's house, Qin Yu became more aware of the role of Zhuge Neijing. During this period, he stayed at home and studied it carefully. At the same time, he also searched for some information on the Internet, and also watched Feng Shui such as "Ma Yi Xiangfa" and "Shaking the Dragon Sutra".
This masterpiece reflects each other and the Zhuge Neijing, and I have benefited a lot from it.
If he wanted to stand out and be worthy of Meng Yao within two years, Qin Yu knew that he could only rely on the Zhuge Neijing in his mind.
In this way, Qin Yu stayed at home for more than a month until a phone call came.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, I'm uncle, come to my place now!"
Uncle Zhang Yuanhe's rich voice came from the mobile phone, and Qin Yu promised: "Oh, okay, I'll come right away!"
Qin Yu's uncle is the mayor of the town. He is usually very busy with official duties, so Qin Yu doesn't see him a few times a year. This time his uncle suddenly called him, but he couldn't figure out what happened.
His uncle's house was quite far away from Qin Yu's house, so Qin Yu had no choice but to lock the yard gate and ride an electric bike there.
When he arrived at the door of his uncle's house, Qin Yu found that his uncle was already waiting at the door. In addition to his uncle, there was another middle-aged man.
"Uncle, what do you want from me?" Qin Yu stopped the electric car and asked.
"Xiaoyu, this is Secretary Wang."
Zhang Yuanhe smiled and introduced the identity of the middle-aged man next to Qin Yu.
"Secretary Wang, that's a secretary. Someone worthy of being introduced personally by my uncle should be the secretary of a big shot in the county. Either the secretary or the county magistrate." Qin Yu thought to himself and said quickly:
"Hello, Secretary Wang!"
"You're welcome. It was my idea for your uncle to come to you this time. I have something to trouble you with!"
Secretary Wang's face was full of geniality, without any official airs. Not only did he seek help from others, but Zhang Yuanhe's status was not lower than his. Moreover, both parties were in the same camp, so there was no need to show off in front of his own people.
"Come in and talk, Xiaoyu, Secretary Wang is really asking you to help with something this time."
Several people entered the main hall, and the aunt brought tea to the three of them. Secretary Wang took a sip before telling the story.
It turns out that Secretary Wang is the secretary of the county magistrate. As a secretary, he should help the leaders solve their problems. Recently, the county magistrate’s family had troubles. The county magistrate’s wife fell down and broke her waist for no reason while walking. Soon, the county magistrate’s daughter appeared again.
He suddenly slipped down the stairs at school, and he is still lying at home recovering from his injuries, and he often has nightmares.
There is nothing trivial in the leader's family, and the incident in the county magistrate's family has affected the nerves of the entire county. After careful investigation, the Public Security Bureau finally ruled out the possibility of human error. It can only be said that this accident happened by coincidence.
But secretly, everyone has another theory, saying that the county magistrate has done something to offend ghosts and gods, and his family has been haunted by evil spirits, which is why these things happened. The next person who may suffer is the county magistrate himself.
.
Secretary Wang, as the leader's personal secretary, all his power comes from the county magistrate. No one cares about the county magistrate's safety more than him. With an attitude of preferring to believe what he has rather than what he has not, he decided to go to the high-ranking officials in the private sector.
People drive away demons and catch ghosts.
It's just that there are really few people in this county who claim to be able to catch ghosts and tell fortunes, and many of them are swindlers at first glance. After more than a month, there is almost nothing gained, but not long ago, he heard someone talk about Qin Yu's second uncle's family.
His eyes lit up, and he found a person who was present at the time to inquire about the situation in detail.
I learned from that person that Qin Yu learned from the Taoist priests on the mountain, and his Feng Shui skills were extremely powerful. The man even showed off his straight wind, curved wind, sentimental and ruthless style.
Secretary Wang felt that this statement made sense when he heard it, and since he was a disciple of a Taoist priest, he should also be able to catch ghosts. After all, the Taoist priest's specialty was catching ghosts, so he found Uncle Qin Yu and wanted to see Qin Yu.
Yu one side.
After Secretary Wang finished speaking, Qin Yu fell into deep thought. The theory of ghosts and gods was also mentioned in the Zhuge Neijing. However, according to the scriptures, the conditions for ghosts to form are extremely difficult, and it is impossible for them to form in the environment where humans live now.
"Secretary Wang, it's hard to say whether he is haunted by ghosts or not. Let's take this. I have a talisman here that you can take to the county magistrate, stick it on top of the main entrance, and burn incense to worship. If it is really a ghost or something, it should be
It works!”
Qin Yu took out a talisman from his arms. The pattern of this talisman was different from that of the house-destroying talisman. The name of this talisman was: evil evil talisman. Its function was to block some evil spirits and dirty things from the door.
Secretary Wang was not surprised when he saw the talisman. He also knew that Qin Yu relied on a house-destroying talisman to ward off Sangfeng Sha. He accepted the talisman immediately, treated him politely for a while, and then left.
"Xiaoyu, we uncle and nephew haven't chatted together for a long time. Don't leave now. I'll ask your aunt to prepare some dishes for us to chat!"
"Listen to you, uncle"
…
The matter at the county magistrate's house was quickly forgotten by Qin Yu, because Secretary Wang, who had taken the talisman, called his uncle the next day and said that the county magistrate's daughter had indeed stopped having nightmares, and expressed his gratitude to Qin Yu.
.
Qin Yu has an important thing to do now. Since he plans to go into Feng Shui, he needs to have a compass. Qin Yu plans to go to the county town to get a compass.
There is a street in the county town dedicated to selling candles, yellow paper, and Feng Shui tools. Qin Yu used to accompany his father here every Qingming Festival and Chinese New Year to buy some yellow paper candles and go back to worship his ancestors.
After arriving at the county seat by bus, Qin Yu walked towards Fengshui Street while looking at the scenery. Fengshui Street is located in Lao City. Qin Yu rarely comes to the county seat since he went to college. Looking at the changes in the buildings on both sides of the road, he also
I can’t help but sigh at the rapid changes in social development.
After crossing the main road and entering an alley, Qin Yu came to a small street with wooden buildings. This is Feng Shui Street. It has not changed much here for more than ten years. The whole street can only accommodate two or three people.
We walked side by side, but it was not the time of year, so the street seemed deserted, and there were only a few people wandering around.
Qin Yu went straight to a shop selling Feng Shui equipment. There were all kinds of compasses and Luban rulers inside.
Qin Yu walked into the shop. Although it was daytime, the lights were still on inside the shop. The shop owner was an old man in his fifties. He glanced at Qin Yu but did not come over to him. He thought that in his eyes, those who bought Feng Shui equipment were all people.
Feng Shui master, and the image of Feng Shui master in the eyes of everyone is that of an elderly person. Qin Yu is young, and his image is very different from that of Feng Shui master.
Qin Yu didn't care. He picked up a compass and looked at it from time to time, but his expression was not very satisfied. Most of these compasses were carved. A good compass must be handwritten, so that he can experience the power of telepathy, and
The carving is rather rigid and lacks any aura.
"Are my requirements too high? That kind of handwritten compass can now be used as a magical weapon. How can it be so easy to find!"
A self-deprecating smile twitched at the corner of Qin Yu's mouth. There is an article in the Zhuge Neijing that talks about how to detect whether an instrument is a magic weapon. The so-called magic weapon is a kind of aura formed by the long-term blessing of some masters' mind power.
Just like some jade pendants consecrated by Buddhist monks, they often have the effect of exorcising evil spirits and ensuring peace.
The same is true for Feng Shui masters' compasses. Compasses that have been used by some Feng Shui masters for a long time will also form an aura. Compared with ordinary compasses, they are more accurate in terms of positioning and finding dragon acupuncture points.
"Boss, do you have any of those old compasses? They are not carved like this!"
Although he had no hope, Qin Yu still asked the old man sitting inside.
"No more. The handwritten compass is from a long time ago. It was all smashed up when the Four Olds were destroyed. How can I still have it now?"
The boss's words made Qin Yu show a look of pain on his face, but he knew about this period of history. Many traditional things in China were destroyed during that period.
"Forget it, just pick one and use it first!"
Qin Yu casually took a compass off the wall, walked inside, and asked: "Boss, how much does this compass cost?"
"This compass is made of fine rosewood, and costs six hundred yuan each!"
The old man didn't expect that Qin Yu was really buying a compass. He showed his smoke-yellow teeth and asked the price with a smile.
Qin Yu curled his lips. This boss bullied him for being young. The function of a compass is to locate the position according to the magnetic field. General compasses are not made of rosewood, because the aura of the magnetic needle of a compass made of rosewood will be affected, and the stability of the magnetic needle will be affected.
The performance is much lower than that of a compass made of ordinary wood.
The wood suitable for compasses is generally made of wood that is hard but soft, just like a piece of rice paper. For example, ginkgo wood and tiger bone wood, which are standard woods used to make compasses, will seep up and down after the ink is written on them.
Wood such as sandalwood, rosewood, rosewood, etc. can penetrate left and right or even not penetrate for a long time. When the words are finished, it will become a black spot. What does this reflect about the compass? Stability! When the wood is closer to the texture of rice paper,
The effect is suitable for use on compasses, and will not affect the compass's gas-sensing effect.
"Boss, please give me a sincere price. This is just ordinary pine wood, not rosewood!"
"Four hundred and sixty yuan, this price is the lowest."
When Qin Yu pointed out the wood of the compass, the boss didn't defend himself. Since Qin Yu could name pine wood, he probably knew the compass well, so he stopped making false offers.
"Three hundred, I'll buy one if possible. In fact, I just want to study the ancient Feng Shui culture. To be honest, those metal compasses only cost tens of dollars each. If it doesn't work, I will buy that kind.
"
The boss's eyes looked up and down Qin Yu, thinking about the truth or falsehood of what Qin Yu said, and finally agreed. The main reason was that Qin Yu was too young, not like a Feng Shui master, more like a student, and he wanted to do it just for research.
After learning about Feng Shui culture, you can indeed buy a metal compass.
Compared to metal compasses worth dozens of dollars, this wooden compass is naturally more profitable. Even if it costs three hundred dollars, it is still more profitable than that.
The boss went to find a bag to put the compass in. Qin Yu looked inside casually. When his eyes glanced at the table, he was suddenly shocked. There was a compass with a corner missing, and it was also written with ink hand seals. Qin Yu
An inexplicable look flashed across Yu's eyes, and then returned to normal.
"Boss, why is there still a corner of your compass missing?"
Taking the bag from the boss, Qin Yu pointed to the missing compass on the table and asked.
"You are talking about this piece. It belongs to a relative of mine in the countryside. Their family used to specialize in Feng Shui for people, but during those turbulent ten years, they suffered because of it. The old man passed away, and many things were destroyed.
Smashed, this compass was found when they were moving, it must have been destroyed at that time."
"Boss, can you show me this?"
"Okay, this compass is useless if one corner is missing. Just take a look!"
The compass emphasizes the Tao of Tai Chi, which brings everything into being, but no Feng Shui master would use this missing compass.
Qin Yu felt heavy as soon as he got the compass. He had a feeling that this compass was not ordinary, and the material of the compass was black and shiny. It should have been made by a master.
"Boss, although this compass can no longer be used, it is useful for my research on ancient Feng Shui culture. I wonder if you are willing to sell it!"
"I also think this compass is quite good. I can keep it for myself to play with if I have nothing to do."
The old man's face showed an expression of reluctance to give up, but Qin Yu understood that this was just for the old man to raise the price of the compass. The compass was covered with dust when placed on the table, and it didn't look like an object that was often played with and touched.
"Since it is your favorite thing, boss, I won't take it away from others. It is a compass anyway. I just want to study Feng Shui culture."
After saying that, Qin Yu picked up the bag and turned around to leave. He believed that the boss would definitely call him out.
"Brother, wait!"
As expected, just as Qin Yu expected, just when he was about to step out of the store, the boss's voice came from behind, with a reluctant expression on his face, saying:
"Since I plan to study ancient Feng Shui culture, it is naturally best to use this ancient thing. This compass is also an old object. Old man, I have never read any books. The ones I admire the most are you scholars. Let's do it this way.
I’ll sell this compass to you, little brother.”
"Oh, what you said makes sense, boss. How much do you plan to sell for it, boss?"
Qin Yu stood at the door and asked directly without going back. He wanted to give the boss an illusion that he was not very interested in the compass.
"Five thousand!"
The old man put on an expression of pain and touched the compass with his hand, just like a mother caressing her child who is about to travel far away.
"Five thousand, boss, you should keep it for yourself!"
Qin Yu smiled, turned around, ignored the boss, and left directly.
"Brother, don't worry. It's natural to bargain for things in this transaction. Just make a price. As long as it's not too outrageous, I'll sell it to you."
"One thousand, this compass is from the Republic of China period at most. This is the highest price I can pay."
"Hey, little brother, no one can bargain like you. This is indeed a good thing. Let's do this. I'll give in, four thousand!"
"A thousand is the most. Boss, do you think other than me, who else would buy such a compass with one corner missing? It's not an antique, and it's not used yet. I just bought it back to study the Feng Shui culture at that time."
Qin Yu insisted on the price and refused to let go. He was not afraid that the boss would not sell it. In fact, if he had not just used the weapon identification method recorded in Zhuge Neijing and knew that there was a mystery in the compass, he would not have bought this compass.
"Brother, please add more, one thousand sixteen. This price is the lowest. If it is lower, I would rather keep it."
Qin Yu studied the old man's face for a while, pondered for a while, and felt that this should be the boss's psychological value, so he nodded and agreed.
After paying the money, Qin Yu put the compass directly into his bag, without showing any expression on his face, and walked towards the street amidst the boss's warm farewell.
"Little brother in front, can you wait a moment?"
Qin Yu walked forward quickly. He planned to go back and study the compass carefully. Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man and a beautiful young woman coming from behind.
.
"You're calling me?"
There were not many people on this street. Qin Yu looked around and wondered whether these two people were calling him. He just looked at their silhouettes from a distance and didn't recognize them.
Soon, the two of them came to Qin Yu's side. Qin Yu looked at the two people in front of him. When his eyes fell on the young woman, he couldn't help but be stunned.
A pair of willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of clear and bright almond eyes, a slightly straight nose bridge, pink and rosy skin, long black hair tied up, revealing sexy white collarbones, adding a touch of nobility, but with a slightly cold expression, especially
Seeing Qin Yu staring at her intently, he showed even more impatience.
"Brother, I'm sorry to disturb you."
The middle-aged man showed a trace of apology on his face, but his eyes were fixed on the bag Qin Yu was holding.
"What do you want from me?"
Qin Yu quickly regained consciousness. This young woman was indeed beautiful. It was normal for him to be temporarily absent-minded, but this was just a pure appreciation. In his eyes, Meng Yao was no less than this woman, and she was also
It's not like this woman is as cold as an ice cube.
"I just saw that my brother bought a compass. It looks familiar to me. I wonder if I can lend it to me."
It turned out that he came here for the compass. Qin Yu just felt that this compass was unusual, but its specific function was still unclear. Moreover, he saw that the clothes on these two people were high-end clothes, so they must have unusual status, and
Don't be afraid of the other party cheating.
"Can."
Taking the compass handed over by Qin Yu, the middle-aged man's expression became solemn. He kept polishing the compass with his hands. When he touched the missing corner, his pair of eyebrows trembled slightly. After a long time, his face showed
Reluctantly, he handed the compass back to Qin Yu.
"Brother, how much did you spend on this compass?"
"One thousand six."
Qin Yu told the truth that the price cannot be hidden from others, as long as they go back and ask the boss, they will know.
"I'll pay you 10,000 yuan. I wonder if I can transfer this compass to me."
The middle-aged man stared at Qin Yu with sharp eyes. This compass was too important for a Feng Shui master.
"Sorry, I also like this compass and have no plans to change hands."
Qin Yu shook his head and refused. For 10,000 yuan, it changed hands almost six times. If Qin Yu hadn't learned the weapon identification method and knew it was a good thing, he would have sold it.
"Twenty thousand yuan!"
A crisp voice sounded, but it was the woman on the side who spoke.
"No matter how much you say, I won't sell it."
Mo Yongxin's good-looking brows slightly wrinkled. In her eyes, the man in front of her was wearing ordinary clothes and he didn't look like a kid from a rich family. The price had increased tenfold when he changed hands, and he still didn't agree. And since she was a child, she hadn't been...
The boy refused.
"fifty thousand!"
Mo Yongxin refused to give up and made another bid.
"I said I won't sell it, so I won't sell it! If there is nothing else, I will leave."
Qin Yu is really afraid that this woman will continue to increase the price. It's 50,000 yuan. In a small town, an ordinary family can make almost this amount of money after deducting expenses in a year. Qin Yu is afraid that he will really be unable to resist the temptation, or will he?
The ears that do not listen are pure.
"As a human being, don't be too greedy. Fifty thousand yuan is enough for you."
Mo Yongxin was really angry. What she bought for 1,600 yuan could be sold for 50,000 yuan, but this man was still unwilling to sell it. In her eyes, Qin Yu was a greedy person.
"I want to buy a compass instrument for only 50,000 yuan. How can there be such a good thing in the world!"
Qin Yu was also angry. He said he wouldn't sell if he didn't want to sell. What does it have to do with greed? Besides, it was you who asked for the price, not me. After saying this, he turned around and wanted to leave. When this woman saw
She has an extraordinary background, and she has probably been followed since she was a child, so she should feel that everything must be according to her ideas.
Qin Yu's words reached Mo Yongxin's ears, which only made her already cold expression even colder. However, after hearing this, the middle-aged man on the side changed his expression drastically and sighed:
"It turns out that I also noticed that this is a magic weapon, so I was too rude. How about this? I invite you to tea, which can be regarded as compensation for the interruption."
"No need, I have something else to do, and there's nothing to disturb me."
It is essential to be on guard against others. Although these two people do not seem to be treacherous people, Qin Yu still does not want to continue to deal with them, and his top priority now is to find out the origin and function of this compass. (To be continued)
