Chapter Thirty-Nine: Rivals
The car stopped in the high-end villa community of "Banwan Jiashu" in Xujing, Shanghai, near Qingpu, surrounded by lush greenery, undulating greens, extremely melodious, and then looking at these luxury single-family villas on the artificial lakeside, it is obvious that this kind of place, if it is not high-ranking officials and businessmen, ordinary people cannot afford to live in it for 10,000 years.
In front of a villa, Yang Tiancong said to me: "This friend of mine has a quirk, he only likes to meet people in the Xuanmen alone, and does not like other people to be present. So, Mr. Fang, you go up by yourself, he is waiting for you at home. I'm going to say goodbye, hoping that we'll meet later. β
"There will be a date later." I nodded, "But, Mr. Yang, I want you to remember what I said to you." Also, I'll be in Shanghai for a while, and you can find me at any time. β
Yang Tiancong looked dazed for a while, nodded and drove away.
I looked at the beautiful sail-shaped villa in front of me, then stepped forward and lit the electric bell at the entrance of the courtyard. According to Yang Tiancong, his fellow villager is a high-ranking cadre in charge of economic and financial affairs, and he has always believed in Xuanmen the most. In his opinion, one of the ways for him to become an official is to burn more incense and worship the Buddha, and secondly, to ask some metaphysical feng shui masters for more guidance. The key is that his family background is also the door of wealth, and he is willing to give money to those who are really capable.
That's enough, and that's exactly what my good customers are.
If in the United States, firstly, the economy is developed and the per capita income is high, and secondly, my master and uncle have been operating there for more than 20 years, so I can make a big business of hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of dollars anywhere. But in China, there are businesses everywhere, but I definitely can't charge a high price, with 1/100th of the remuneration I can only take, even if I make a business of 10,000 yuan, I can only get 100 yuan! But according to the per capita income of Chinese, are ordinary people willing to pay 10,000 yuan for feng shui fortune telling? Therefore, my high-quality Chinese customers can only be high-ranking officials and politicians and super-rich businessmen, and I want them to willingly pay 100,000,000,000 without feeling distressed.
Because, even if I make a million-dollar business, I can only spend 10,000 yuan at my discretion!
After a while, a maid opened the door of the villa and welcomed me in, and then led me into the interior of the villa, which was extremely noble and elegantly furnished, and went up to the second floor. β
I pushed the door in, and to my surprise, he was not the only one in the master's living room, but also a middle-aged man with a flowing appearance and a flying beard.
"You, you'reβ" The master stood up, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and stared at me in amazement.
I nodded slightly and said, "Director Liu, hello!" I am Fang Yin, who was introduced by Mr. Yang Tiancong. β
This Director Liu is Yang Tiancong's fellow countryman, about forty years old, quite personable, and can be regarded as a young and promising national cadre. But seeing that he is gentle and elegant, his demeanor is extraordinary, but he is also very obsessed with Xuanmen, which is really rare. The middle-aged man next to him, who was sitting solemnly and had a flying beard, was undoubtedly also a member of the Xuanmen.
What makes me strange is that didn't Yang Tiancong say that Director Liu only likes to meet with people in the Xuanmen alone? Why do you want to meet both of me at the same time?
"Yo! You are the Mr. Fang introduced by Lao Yang! Disrespectful, disrespectful! Director Liu pushed his glasses and immediately beckoned me to take a seat and the servant to serve tea, "All I know is a gentleman of a handful of years, hahahaha!" This Master Jiang is already the youngest person I have ever seen, but I didn't expect you, Mr. Fang, to be so young! When I first saw you, I just said which university internship graduate came to recommend insurance! Hahaha, it's really a hero out of a teenager! β
I smiled slightly, his words sounded sour to me, and I looked at the middle-aged man next to me, "Master Jiang", and Master Jiang nodded slightly to me, which was regarded as a greeting. He was the first colleague I met in China, but looking at his disdainful eyes, I read a line: "Little doll who smells of milk, and go back to study for a few more years and come back to fight with me for this bowl of rice."
In fact, in New York, USA, I have met many Chinese counterparts, feng shui fortune-telling industry, as an alternative quintessence of our country, has already rushed out of the country, to the world, and the world integrated economy. I often hear some Chinese colleagues say in New York's Chinatown: Only earning money from Chinese and compatriots is called injustice, what we want to earn is American's money, and we must fully carry forward the essence of China's national culture in foreign land. We must protect the intellectual property rights of our national culture and join the tide of world economic integration...... As a result, the vast majority of them were deported by the US police on suspicion of fraud.
"Let me introduce, this Master Jiang is a descendant disciple of Sanyang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain, he is quite prestigious in the industry, and he is also a rising star, with magic spells, wisdom and eyes, and boundless mana!" After Director Liu finished introducing me, he said to Master Jiang: "This young man is Mr. Fang, who was just introduced to me by my old friend, and he said that this Mr. Fang is even more innate and can understand everything. Haha, I just didn't expect to be so young! β
Master Jiang laughed dryly when he heard this: "It's really 'the world is like a new chess game'!" I want to practice on the mountain, I haven't tasted the mountain in the past few years, and I have heard that there are many unscrupulous people who have ruined my reputation in Xuanmen, and the old ones are just that, after all, they cheated some small money to support their families, but I heard that there are many young and middle-aged people who also come to stir up peace, and the people are complaining and sneering at my orthodox Xuanmen, so that the world is declining, and I am waiting for the people in Xuanmen to make a living! But listening to Director Liu's words, it seems that Mr. Fang, you are really the so-called 'the front waves of the Yangtze River push the back waves, and the new people in the world replace the old people'! Look at your face, it's really an extraordinary person, Jiang Mou, I am polite! "Say goodbye, give me a hand.
This is really full of flowers and exquisite, but why is the "Mr. Fang" called out from his mouth so awkward?
Indeed, compared to him, I am a hairy boy who has not dried up, and it is really easy to give people the impression of "swaggering and cheating".
"So, Mr. Fang has been out of the mountain at a young age, three sects and nine streams, Mr. Fang, which one are you worshipping, which one are you cultivating, which one is cultivating, and which one is first-class? Driving cranes and barberry, opening altars and sacrificing mountains, Mr. Fang, how many calamities have you experienced and how many days have you crossed? Master Jiang took a sip of tea and stared at me with a sharp look in his eyes.
The master has already competed with me, and he is studying my origin and fame, and he is also testing my words and conversations, and his intentions are clearly revealed. I smiled lightly and said: "The sword goes sideways, people enter the Xuanmen, the way of the heavens, obey the people, follow the five elements, I don't enter the stream." β
"If you don't enter the stream, how can you do it?" Master Jiang was unhurried.
"Man will conquer the heavens, and it is for the law; Those who enforce the law are in the stream. It is self-made, it is natural, it is the way. Therefore, it is said: Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. "I'm not in a hurry, I don't have the secret secret of Hengzong, so naturally I don't enter the "flow" in the eyes of their famous masters.
"What, then, is the Tao?" Master Jiang still did not give up.
"Yi" said: One yin and one yang is the Tao."
"What is yin and what is yang?"
I saw that he looked proud and disdainful, and replied, "He was born as yin, and when he entered the world, he was yang; The south of the mountain is yin, and the north of the mountain is yang; The text is yin, and the reason is yang; Women are yin, men are yang. Worry is yin, joy is yang...... Those who are unforgiving are yin, and those who are open-minded and cheerful are yang; The light and thin are yin, and the noble are yang; Those who rely on the old and sell the old are yin, and those who are down-to-earth are yang. β
Narrow-minded, relying on the old and selling the old, his heart is yin, and he is often sinister, this kind of person is one of the so-called "yin" of my Wuheng Sect.
"What are you talking about......" Master Jiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his face turned pale for a while, "Sure enough, it is a talented person from the country!" Jiang Mou, I am willing to bow to the wind, hum! β
Director Liu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Xuanmen has been a family since ancient times, everyone comes to discuss it calmly, this is a good thing, don't hurt the harmony!" That's right, originally, Master Jiang, I only invited you here today, because I will be returning to Beijing tomorrow. During this time, I always had the same dream, and I wanted to ask the master to resolve it and understand what the good luck and evil were. But my old friend recommended this young Mr. Fang to me, and I think I will return to Beijing tomorrow, and I don't have time, so I will meet you together. Of course, Master Jiang, it's not that I don't believe in your abilities, your mana and prestige have long been thunderous to me. Well, Mr. Fang, please don't be surprised......"
"Director Liu is so sincere, Jiang is willing to serve the dogs and horses!" Master Jiang looked respectful.
I nodded and said, "Then, Director Liu, please tell me more about your dream." β
Director Liu said: "That's the case, I have been having the same dream in the past few days, dreaming that I was writing in the study, and the strange thing is that I didn't finish writing the words the night before, and I dreamed last night and continued to write!" Do you think it's weird? With my knowledge over the years, I'm only afraid that this is a bit unlucky, but whether it is good or not, I can only ask you to resolve it. β
"Master Liu doesn't have to worry! This is an auspicious omen! Master Jiang blurted out, "In my "Sanyang Demolition Dream Decision", the 'Continuation of the Dream Record' said: The dream continues to be fierce, the dancer is fierce, the chess continues is lightly fierce, the song is unharmed, the painting is unharmed, the poet is auspicious, the reader is Zhongji, and the book is Shangji." Director Liu dreamed that he was 'continuing the book', which was Shangji, and he explained: One stroke at a time, one stroke at a time, last night and tonight painted the east of the hall. As long as this word cannot be written, it will be widely blessed for ten thousand years. β
"The master is right?" Director Liu leisurely smiled.
"It can't be fake, it can't be fake." Master Jiang nodded, and glanced at me again, his words were not only answering Director Liu, but also pinpointing me.
"So, Mr. Fang, what is your opinion?" Director Liu immediately looked at me.
I looked at his face and complexion, felt a little emotion, and asked, "Director Liu, can you remember what you wrote in your dream?" Do your best to memorize the words you have written, and I will explain them to you. If you are writing in your dream and you don't write any words, it is indeed a good omen, as Master Jiang said. β
Director Liu disturbed his head and said busily: "I'm a little impressed!" I seem to have written not just one word, but three words! If I think about it, one of them is 'Yi', and another seems to be the word 'ι ', and the other, I don't know very well, seems to be a 'Cheng'...... What, Mr. Fang, do you want to split the word? β
"Hahaha! Young man, the word-splitting fortune-telling method has been pushed to the opportunistic tricks of literati, and it has long been out of my orthodox Xuanmen technique, don't you want to sell literature? Master Jiang's face became more and more disdainful.
I shook my head and said: "Some good people deliberately find some words to dismantle, which is indeed nonsense, but at a specific moment and a specific word, it can be resolved by 'dismantling words', for example, Director Liu had this kind of dream at this juncture, and wrote these words in the dream." Immediately, I looked solemn, "Director Liu, your dreams and words are a dangerous omen. β
When Director Liu heard this, the teacup lid in his hand shattered on the ground with a "dang" sound, staring at me tightly, sweat on his forehead.
The officials are obsessed with this, and what they don't like to hear is what I say, and I understand Director Liu's expression very well.
