Chapter 195: Encounter with a Mysterious Woman
The words of this old-timer touched the hidden pain in the heart of the feng shui master, and in the face of this kind and wise old man, he no longer hid anything, so he told his tragic experience as it was. The reason why he confessed these most private secrets was because he felt that the old man was extremely kind, and second, because he would indeed feel much better in his heart when he poured it out, and he vaguely felt that since the old man could see the cause of his illness, there might be a cure.
The old-timer listened quietly, nodding his head from time to time, and could see that his face was full of compassion and sympathy, which made the feng shui master feel very warm, like a child who had been greatly wronged, suddenly saw his parents, tears flowed out disobediently.
After he spoke, the old man didn't speak immediately, just patted him on the shoulder with his hand as if comforting, and after a long while, after the feng shui master's love was slightly stable, the old man sighed and said: "Young man, don't be sad, blessings and misfortunes lie in waiting, misfortunes and blessings rely on, life is a process of blessing and misfortune, your physique is the superior root instrument for learning feng shui, the joy of family is good, but it is also exchanged for a lot of troubles, worldly life, trivial and cumbersome, when you don't get it, you feel good, In fact, it may not be necessary to get it, you have such a good talent, you will be able to perceive many mysteries that ordinary people can't see and can't think of, which is much more interesting than the worldly life, life is just a few decades, all used to be an ordinary man's pleasure, it's a pity. ”
The words of the old-timers made the feng shui master feel that in the realm of life, he was still far behind the old man, although these were words to comfort him, but if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable. So I felt a lot more relaxed.
The old man slowed down and said, "Actually, if you really want to find a woman to live a man-woman relationship, it is not impossible to live a worldly life with a group of children. ”
As soon as these words came out, the feng shui master's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Please also ask the old-timers to give us detailed guidance."
The old man stroked his beard, squinted, and said unhurriedly in a calm voice: "You have a special physique, and you must find a woman with the same special physique to calm your special yin qi, and then the two of you can love men and women and have children." ”
"Where are you going to find it?" The feng shui master couldn't wait to ask.
The old man smiled slightly: "I can help you, but the world is unpredictable, as for whether you can really grow old with her, and your children and grandchildren will be around your knees, you will have to follow fate." ”
After listening to the feng shui master, he couldn't help but be ecstatic, plopped, knelt in front of the old man, tears filled his eyes again, the old man gently helped him up, and then asked the feng shui master not to be excited, and also moved very quickly, personally poured a cup of fragrant chrysanthemum tea for the feng shui master, let him drink a few sips to calm down, and he returned to his seat in a hurry, which opened the conversation box and talked about a special woman, and this woman is the kind that can be paired with the feng shui master.
Here's the thing.
Just a few months before the Feng Shui master's visit, the old-timer had just returned from a mountain to collect medicine. And this big mountain, although it is thousands of miles away, the old-timers have to go to it once a year for decades, because this mountain is different, it is the "Yin Fat Mountain" - it is a mountain with extremely strong yin qi, because the mountain is extremely negative, so there are many precious herbs in the mountain. One of the herbs that works wonders in treating female infertility.
Of course, the medicine that this old-timer went to the mountains to collect was different from everyone else - he was looking for a medicine that could preserve the corpse from decaying.
When the feng shui master heard this, he couldn't help but ask the old man: "Dare to ask the old-timers, I have always been puzzled, your feng shui, not only good at looking at the feng shui of the cemetery, why do you still pay so much attention to the preservation of corpses, and why don't you study how to treat people with medicine?" ”
The old-timers smiled faintly, and then told the feng shui master that their sect had won supreme wealth and glory by relying on corpses to preserve.
When the feng shui master heard this, he was even more confused.
The old man looked at the feng shui master's puzzled face, and said very bluntly, it is now the era of the Republic of China, and there is no emperor, so you might as well tell the feng shui master the biggest secret: their faction has a top-secret mission that has never been known to the outside world - to choose the site for the construction of mausoleums for many emperors in all dynasties, and to be responsible for preserving the emperor's body.
The feng shui master was taken aback, because he had never heard of it, and it seemed that it had never been recorded in the history books, but with the old man's cultivation and status, he should not be lying, but he didn't expect that in their feng shui world, there was actually a faction with such a heavy mission.
In China, life and death have always been regarded as two major events in life, and since this kind of service is provided exclusively for the royal family, the status and wealth can of course be extraordinary.
Feng Shui masters finally understood that it was no wonder that this sect attached so much importance to cemetery feng shui and the preservation of corpses. And among the secret recipes they used to preserve the corpses, there were some important medicines that could only be collected on that Yin Shan Mountain.
Although there was no emperor later, there were still many officials and gentry who wanted their corpses to be incorruptible for thousands of years, and they all hoped that the feng shui of their cemeteries could shade future generations, because their faction enjoyed a very high reputation in this regard, so their business was still very good, but they donated the huge amount of money they earned to repair bridges and roads, and help the weak and the poor.
Therefore, this old-timer, for decades, has been going to this Yin Fat Mountain every year to collect medicinal materials. Although it was a long journey and a long journey, this old man never stopped, even at such an old age.
Every time he goes into the mountain to collect medicine, it takes about half a month, so he will choose a village at the foot of the mountain to settle down.
There are several villages in the local area, because the old man has to live there for a few days every year, so some villagers are very familiar with this crane-haired old Taoist priest, and they are willing to chat with him, and they also know that he is good at feng shui. The old man is also approachable, and he never refuses any request from the villagers.
One year, when the old man was living in a village at the foot of the mountain, he found two newly built thatched huts, which happened to be placed on one of the "acupuncture points" on the mountain, and in that thatched hut lived a family of five -- a couple in their thirties and three young children.
According to his profound knowledge of feng shui, the old man judged that the "acupuncture points" of the mountain would open and close once every eighty years - that is to say, every eighty years, when the rain was heavy, a crack one zhang wide would suddenly appear in the place where the newly built thatched hut was built.
According to the feng shui master's calculations, that year happened to be the year when the cracks were about to appear, so he immediately persuaded the family to move out quickly, otherwise it would be a big disaster.
This couple in their thirties only knew that this was an old Taoist priest who came to collect medicine, and they also knew that he knew a little about feng shui, but they didn't seem to believe much in the old Taoist priest's words. It's no wonder that they haven't seen the old man's feng shui attainments, and of course it's hard to believe it out of thin air.
And they are all ordinary poor people, even if they build these thatched huts, they have spent all their savings, and finally the family has a place to hide, how can they move away because of the words of this old Taoist priest? And there's nowhere to move.
The old-timer saw that the family didn't believe him, and he was very anxious, but he couldn't see death without help, so he paid for it himself, and hurriedly found someone to build a house for the family in another place, and let the family move in quickly. The family saw that the old Taoist priest actually paid for his own family to build a new house, of course, they were very moved, regardless of whether the old Taoist priest was accurate or not, they could not live up to the sincerity of others, so they thanked them and moved to a new home.
Coincidentally, in the middle of the night five or six days after moving away, there was a sudden downpour, lightning and thunder, and in the heavy rain, the people in the nearby area rushed to the mountains and remembered the rumbling loud noise, so that even the ground under their feet trembled slightly.
On the second day, after the rain, some villagers who walked out of their homes were surprised to find that in the place where the family of five built the thatched hut, there was a large crack that was one foot wide, and the bottom was not visible, and the whole thatched hut fell into this big crack, and there was no trace of it.
After this incident, the prestige of the old man quickly spread in the local area, especially the family of five who were rescued, and they also arched the old man's tablet at home, and burned incense and worshiped every day. In the local area, even a temple was built for the old man, and he was arched like a god. Although the old man tried his best to stop it, it was useless, so in the end, let it be.
But since then, as soon as the old man appears in the local area, there will be an endless stream of people visiting every day, as in the past, as long as he does not go to the mountain to collect medicine, he will not refuse to come. There are people who come to visit for any reason, but at most they still ask for feng shui or to see a doctor. The local officials and gentry also vied with each other to let the old man live in their house, wanting to take the opportunity to have a good conversation with the old man. But the old man always politely refused, and every time he lived in the most ordinary house, and when he left, he would leave a lot of money.
Just a few months before the Feng Shui master came to visit him, the old man had just returned from collecting medicine from that mountain, and it was during this time that he was living in a nearby village that he encountered such a strange thing.
There was a woman in the village, both in appearance and appearance, she was definitely one of the best in the local area, so she married well - she married the son of a very rich local gentry, and also became the wife of the main house, although the gentry's son was a little fat and a little ugly, but his character was relatively honest, and he also liked this daughter-in-law who had just married.
The woman's family is even more happy: she has been poor for generations, but she didn't expect that because of a beautiful daughter, she actually climbed the high branches, which is really an ancestor and has no other hope, and the poor have no other hope.
But this sense of joy of honoring the ancestors and changing the court did not last for a few days, and then it took a sharp turn and an unexpected catastrophe occurred.
