The old man was very talkative, first talking about how he had cultivated the first college student in the village back then, and then after he got the glory of his ancestors, he became more and more energetic, his face was full of red light and honor, and he couldn't tell that he was already an eighty-year-old man.
Tang Yan was not interested in the first half, but he still respected the old man very much and listened patiently. In fact, if it weren't for Shi Xiaodong's annoying behavior at the beginning, Tang Yan would definitely not use this method to snatch those three things, even if he was bankrupt, he would find money to buy them for him.
In the second half, Tang Yan listened very carefully.
The old man's description is obviously much more detailed than Shi Xiaodong's, and it also said that his ancestor who was a passage platform was buried in this village, but it was a long time ago, and the tombstone had long been missing, and no one knew where the tomb of the dao platform was.
Hearing this, Tang Yan seemed to understand that three things represent three skills, and the entrainment of gambling is to crack Shi Xiaodong's thousand techniques, and body enhancement can come in handy at any time, this time the system gave Tang Yan eight skills, only the three skills of Kanyu, Bag Cutting and Swordsmanship did not come in handy.
Circumcision and swordsmanship don't seem to have anything to do with this task, and it is estimated that it will be reflected in the next mission, and Kanyu is undoubtedly the best way to find that Daotai tomb. A Taoist platform in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, especially during the Qianlong period, had the power to directly face the Holy Ginseng, although it was only an official position of the fourth grade, but it could not be underestimated compared to many important ministers in the court. Such a character, returning to his hometown for burial is naturally nothing to say, but it must also be an excellent place for feng shui. Even, the reason why Shi Xiaodong and his father were able to become civil servants, and Shi Xiaodong was selected by Wei Kaihua to become his secretary as if he had won the jackpot, this may be related to the feng shui of the Daotai Tomb.
As for why the ancestral feng shui has not worked until now, Tang Yan has no way of knowing, and I am afraid that the reason will not be known until the Taoist tomb is found.
Stayed in the countryside that night. Early the next morning. Tang Yan still went out for morning exercises, and by the way, he brought the compass given to him by the criminal in the system after learning the skills of Kanyu.
Almost the entire village was run, and Tang Yan couldn't find a feng shui cave suitable for a funeral place, and after coming back, when he had breakfast, Tang Yan chatted with the old man for a while. He did not ask the situation of the tomb directly. Even if you ask, it is estimated that the old man will not know. Tang Yan went around the bend and asked if the whole village had narrowed its scope, etc., and the old man also recalled for a long time, and finally remembered that there was a sand quarry not far away, which was now nationalized, but in the seventies, it was still the land in their village.
A tributary of the Pearl River passes through the village. The large amount of sand in the river made the villagers find business opportunities, at first the young people in the village spontaneously mined sand, and then the villagers found that this was a natural money printing machine, so they applied to the higher authorities to set up a sand quarry.
In the eighties and nineties, when the sand quarry was engaged in large-scale construction, it produced considerable benefits, but in the last ten years, the sand quarry has been deteriorating and almost ceased production.
Tang Yan asked Shi Xiaodong to take him to see it. Tang Yan found out immediately. The location of the sand quarry is a legendary dragon's lair. He immediately understood in his heart that the Daotai tomb was undoubtedly under this sand quarry.
After walking around the sand quarry for a long time, Tang Yan carefully measured it with a compass and determined the location of a piece of wasteland outside the courtyard wall of the sand quarry, which was directly above the Daotai tomb.
Due to the poor management of the sand quarry, the place has become very desolate, the ground is overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and it is difficult to even get off your feet, and you have to risk being cut by thorns.
After briefly asking the workers in the factory, Tang Yan completely understood why this Daotai tomb was buried on the dragon's lair, but it failed to bring blessings to his descendants, but it was only in Shi Xiaodong's father's generation that some magic was slightly revealed.
Due to its proximity to the riverbank, although the tomb was buried on a treasure of feng shui, it was quickly covered with sediment from the river. For this reason, Tang Yan also specially checked the groin, and confirmed that after Qianlong, during the reign of his grandson Daoguang Emperor, there had been a flood here, which was rare once in a century, and almost all the fertile fields in the vicinity were submerged, and the nearby villagers all moved out, and they did not return to this place to continue to live until more than ten years later.
It was too close to the river to estimate that the tombstone had been destroyed by the flood, and the sediment from the river covered the land, completely obscuring the dragon's den.
Even the dragon's lair needs to have a cycle of vitality, green vegetation on the surface, and air holes on the land, etc., so as to ensure that the feng shui of the dragon's lair affects future generations and gives blessings to future generations.
After being piled up with sediment, this place is a dead place, even if there is a dragon's lair below, and its magic cannot be used.
In the seventies and eighties, preparations for the construction of a sand quarry began here, and when the courtyard wall was built, this dragon's lair happened to be empty outside the courtyard wall. The sediment on the surface of the land was also used as materials for the construction of courtyard walls and sand quarries, resulting in the rediscovery of the land on the dragon's lair, so that the dragon's lair had a vitality cycle and regained its effect.
However, due to the very good efficiency of the sand quarry at that time, sand and gravel could be piled up anywhere outside the courtyard wall, and the grass and trees could not grow, which affected the efficacy of the dragon's lair, so that Shi Xiaodong's father could only be a low-level civil servant for the rest of his life, and there was no hope of promotion.
In the last decade, the efficiency of the sand quarry has deteriorated, and naturally there are no more people coming and going frequently outside the door, and the ground has gradually grown green, which has led to Shi Xiaodong's slow promotion. Until now, the vegetation on this land has become more and more lush, and finally Shi Xiaodong ushered in the peak of official fortune, and when almost no one thought of it, he became Wei Kaihua's secretary.
In this way, the three things that the system needs are all in this ancient tomb.
Shi Xiaodong was not wrong after all, and Tang Yan's punishment for him was enough, so Tang Yan made a decision, after getting those three things in his hands, he must not let this ancient tomb be exposed, even if the 80 million is the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, let him remember to remain honest as an official in his life, and don't bend the law for bribes.
On the gambling boat, Tang Yan won about 40 million, and in addition to the 30 million returned to Gengxin, he also left a sum of nearly 10 million.
With a small part of this money, Tang Yan negotiated an agreement with the local township government to acquire the sand quarry, and directly let the township officials regard Tang Yan as a psychopath, such a sand quarry that is impossible to produce any benefits, there are still people willing to buy, of course they will not object, but they did not dare to ask Tang Yan for more money, and took down the four million, including the right to use this land for 70 years.
In fact, the land use right alone is enough for the four million, and the sand quarry is equivalent to a gift.
After getting all kinds of documents and contracts, Tang Yan began to work the excavation alone, no way, you can't find someone else for this kind of thing, otherwise someone will find out that there is a Taoist tomb here, and you won't have to go crazy?
Both of the grave-digging skills I had learned earlier were used this time, and they were both quickly upgraded. Of course, the upgrade at this time was meaningless for Tang Yan, except that he could be a little faster and safer when digging graves.
Just when Tang Yan had almost opened the passage to the tomb, the system gave a hint and told him that the master named Lai Changyi had arrived in Yangcheng.
made a phone call to Wei Kaihua, Wei Kaihua was surprised that the person Tang Yan asked him to recommend was Master Lai, but he still agreed to Tang Yan's request very boldly, and it was much more convenient to meet a master of feng shui physiognomy than to let him introduce someone like the secretary of the provincial party committee, although even if Tang Yan asked to eat and drink tea and chat with the secretary of the provincial party committee, it was not too difficult for Wei Kaihua.
After Lai Changyi arrived in Yangcheng, he did not stay in the hotel arranged for him by Wei Kaihua, but after getting off the plane, he politely declined Wei Kaihua's invitation and went to live in the Baiyun Immortal Hall at the foot of Baiyun Mountain.
Wei Kaihua was a little strange, why Lai Changyi stepped on the plane before, and just after he arrived at the Baiyunxian Pavilion to settle down, Tang Yan's phone called, which was too coincidental in time. He hadn't said a few words to Lai Changyi himself, but he was already going to introduce Lai Changyi to Tang Yan.
At that time, it was not early, Wei Kaihua accompanied Lai Changyi for a meal, but he didn't get any effective guidance, so he left on his own. promised Tang Yan to take him to see Lai Changyi the next day, Wei Kaihua also specially asked Tang Yan why he wanted to meet a feng shui physiognomy master, of course Tang Yan would not answer him, so he gave up.
Early the next day, Tang Yan took Shi Xiaodong's car into the compound of the provincial capital of Guangyue Province, and after meeting Wei Kaihua, Wei Kaihua changed the original research plan and changed the place of his research to near the Baiyunxian Pavilion, and then took Tang Yan to the Baiyunxian Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the mountain gate, a small path greeted him, and he made a joke and said: "In the morning, there are magpies coming to the door, and Master Lai knows that there will be distinguished guests, so let the small road wait here." ”
Wei Kaihua took it for granted that the distinguished guest that the little Taoist priest said was himself, so he smiled, and then moved to let the little Taoist lead the way to see Lai Changyi. However, the little Taoist priest stretched out his hand to stop him, and said in a low voice: "Master Lai said that the distinguished guest is a young man, I think it is this gentleman, Governor Wei still asks to stay, and after Master Lai and this gentleman meet, he will naturally receive you." ”
"What? Guest? Master Lai knows he's coming? Wei Kaihua was stunned, he didn't particularly believe in these things, but he just obeyed the family's arrangement, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel that this method was mysterious.
