Eighty-three, talk about the world
Ye Zifeng, Boss He, and He Aiguo were in the office, drinking tea and talking about all kinds of anecdotes.
Boss He and He Aiguo have traveled north and south for so many years, and they have seen many strange things. Because of the simplicity of his own experience, Ye Zifeng naturally wouldn't tell them about himself and the old Taoist master, so more time Ye Zifeng just quietly listened to their nonsense.
Boss He is very talkative, he said that they are engaged in the construction industry, often when digging earthwork at the construction site, they will encounter nameless graves, many graves are not visible on the surface, but they are found when digging up the earthwork.
One year, he was building a road for people in a rural area in northern Sichuan, which was a county-level road, and the road had to go around at the foot of a mountain, so they built a shack at the foot of the mountain.
Within a few days of moving in, some people began to notice that things were often lost in the shed, and no one noticed it at first. Until one day, a worker woke up in the morning and found that his shirt was missing, and he suspected that another worker sleeping next to him had stolen it, so the two had a big quarrel and almost started a fight.
Boss He was still a small foreman at that time, and he also slept in the shed, these two workers were brought out by Boss He from the countryside, and when Boss He asked, it turned out that a worker's clothes were missing.
At this time, the workers in the shed all said that everyone had lost things during this time, and they were all worthless, such as facebands, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shoes, etc., and they were all scolded and passed, but now that these things have surfaced at the same time, everyone feels that this matter is very unusual.
For several days, everyone was on guard and did not find anything unusual, but when they woke up the next morning, someone still found that their things were missing, and as before, they were all worthless little things.
They all came out of the countryside to work, and superstition made them believe that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and a strange atmosphere permeated them.
But the road has been repaired all the time, and nothing unusual has happened, and slowly everyone is relaxed.
But Boss He was still attentive and kept watching the development of things. He found that during the construction period, there was a black cat that had been watching them from the side of the construction site, sometimes the cat was in a tree, sometimes squatting on a stone, and sometimes lying in the grass, and if he didn't pay attention, he usually didn't notice.
As the road was being built, the black cat became more and more impatient, and kept running up and down around the construction site, and at this time, everyone found the black cat.
Sometimes there are people on the construction site who chase the black cat, but the black cat always pushes away and then returns to the construction site to run around, even showing sharp teeth at people and neighing at people.
Until one day, this black cat squatted in front of the construction site, its eyes were bloody, and it kept screaming at people, and it didn't go away, blocking everyone from continuing to work.
There were a few young men at the construction site, and they beat them all the way with sticks and hoes, and finally beat the black cat to death in a small cave. In this cave, everyone found that the things that were lost some time ago were piled up in the cave in a mess, it turned out that this cave was the nest of this black cat, and the things that everyone lost were all taken here by it, no wonder everyone has not been able to find the thief.
In the evening, one of the young men had a fever, flushed face, and straight eyes, and began to talk nonsense. Some older workers said that they had encountered something unclean. Boss He hurriedly arranged for people to send them back to the village to find the half-immortals in the village for treatment.
The half-immortal in the village is a deaf and dumb old man, after he cured a few young people, he asked people to call Boss He and said that if the road is built and there is a tomb, move well, and don't explode the bones, otherwise the unclean things will linger and entangle, and even he will have no choice at that time.
Sure enough, when the road was repaired to the place where the black cat was in the way, a tomb was found. This tomb is a bit old, and judging from the burial goods, it should be a tomb in the late Qing Dynasty.
Boss He couldn't stop the workers from looting the burial goods, but he also collected the bones intact and moved them to the cave to be buried with the black cat.
But the burial goods were still taken away, and there were unspoken rules like their work on the construction site. It is the ownerless tomb found during the construction site, and the burial goods in it will be secretly taken away and sold to cultural relics dealers, who have this long-term cooperative relationship with the people who do the construction site.
"Black cat psychic. It was supposed that the ghost of the corpse was attached to the black cat, knowing that building a road would destroy its burial place, so let the black cat come out to stop it. Fortunately, this yin soul is not deep, and it is not a ghost and a resentful ghost, so it is fine. After listening to Boss He's story, Ye Zifeng explained.
"Yes, after the grave was moved, the road was built smoothly and nothing happened." Boss He said.
"Then has Boss He been doing things smoothly since then?" Ye Zifeng asked.
Boss He thought about it seriously and replied: "It should be like this, in short, everything is still going well, there are no major twists and turns, if there is something, it will be solved quickly." Just like today, when I was worried about paying attention, you came, and the matter was settled. ”
"That corpse should have been collected by Boss He, right?"
"Yes, at that time, those people only cared about grabbing the burial goods, I had to do it myself, little by little, my fingers were stabbed by something, and they were bleeding." Boss He recalled.
"That cave should be a good place with good feng shui, so the black cat will nest there, and after the bones are buried under the feng shui treasure, they will naturally bless the descendants of this corpse, but this corpse has no descendants, because when the bones were converged, Boss He's fingers were pricked and bloody, dripping on the bones, and they were contaminated with cause and effect. Therefore, the blessing of this feng shui treasure land allows you to get a part, which is also a good reward for good people. Ye Zifeng told Boss He.
"Is this a blood confession?" He Aiguo listened to it next to him, as if he was listening to a story.
"It's not like that, it's cause and effect, it's not something you can do intentionally, it depends on a person's chance. When the opportunity comes, everything falls into place, and it can't be forced. Ye Zifeng told He Aiguo.
Boss He was stunned when he heard Ye Zifeng's explanation, he couldn't imagine that the blessings of his life came from a nameless corpse, at that time, he just moved it casually, and never went to pay tribute, thinking of this, Boss He felt guilty in his heart: "I don't know if that grave is still there?" It has no descendants, and no one has ever gone to pay respects, and there is time to see it. ”
"Judging from Boss He's face, the ancestor is extremely long, and the tomb should still be there. Boss He should also go to worship, so that the corpse and bones can receive your incense, so that this blessing will be deeper and longer. Ye Zifeng suggested to Boss He. Because now that the two of them are doing business together, Ye Zifeng naturally hopes that Boss He will be blessed, so that the company's business will naturally prosper.
"Well, I'll definitely go back this year." Hearing Ye Zifeng say this, Boss He strengthened his thoughts and decided to let the family go to find out first.
"Brother He, is Feng Shui really so spiritual?" He Aiguo asked curiously.
Ye Zifeng heard He Aiguo ask, smiled and said: "Feng Shui is more important than qi, and second is about form. This is like a confrontation between the two armies, where one side occupies favorable terrain, builds pillboxes, repairs fortifications, and morale is high. On the other hand, the terrain is unfavorable and morale is poor. Which side do you think will win? In scientific terms, Feng Shui will allow you to occupy a favorable terrain in the struggle of life. When you occupy the high point of life, you are naturally the winner of life. ”
Ye Zifeng's explanation is also too scientific, and scientific elephants do not eat fireworks in the world. Boss He and He Aiguo laughed when they heard this. Because it was the first time that the two of them had heard someone explain feng shui so grandiosely.
"It's not scientific." Boss He said.
"Science is the human interpretation of what is known, while superstition is human speculation about what is not known. Since it is speculation, it is inevitable that there will be various deviations. This bias should be understood, not discriminated against. ”
Ye Zifeng graduated from Xiangke University, but since he was a child, under the education of the old master, the two originally contradictory things of science and superstition have a perfect combination in him, so the theory he said makes people feel absurd when they hear it, but there is no way to refute it.
