Chapter 384: Koi (Supplement)

Cornucopia, as a home feng shui ornament that "attracts wealth into treasure" and "breeds wealth", is actually extremely common in Daxia, and is loved by many merchants like "golden toad" and "beckoning cat".

It is said that this thing has existed since ancient times, and after 10,000 years, it has become a kind of symbol, and it can indeed play a certain role in this world where extraordinary power manifests.

However, due to the fact that there are too many people who use it, it is spread out, and the effect is just like that, and it will not really affect the direction of the big "fortune".

However, this is not the point, the point is that the "Jade Book" enumerated that there is nothing similar to the "cornucopia" style in the missing accessories of the Xingcha.

Although Zhao Chen was a little surprised, he didn't think that Qi Feimeng was mistaken, after all, the "Xingcha Accessories" had been left behind for many years, and it was not impossible for the master to take it to be recast and change the style.

In particular, there are several of them that do not have a fixed shape or size.

"According to my investigation, the Gong family is not a native of Guangnan County...... Originally, they were just small gang leaders who relied on construction projects and construction of all kinds of buildings.

"But after helping a village in Guangnan County build a 'bluestone tower' to ward off evil spirits, he suddenly bought land in this village, became a naturalized citizen, and built the current mansion.

"This almost drained all the Gong family's savings at that time." After entering the mansion, Qi Feimeng led the way while telling the information she knew.

In other words, the Gong family was originally a contractor at a construction site? In addition, the bluestone tower has no practical effect, at most it is just to make people feel at ease, not to think nonsense.

But......

"Since the villagers want to build a bluestone pagoda that costs a lot of money, it means that there are probably some problems in this village at that time, but the problems are not obvious, and the people from the provincial government office have not found anything abnormal?" Zhao Chen speculated.

"That's right......" Qi Feimeng nodded casually and continued, "I went into the county government and peeked at the county chronicles, and in the records on it, this Golden Carp Village had a poor harvest for ten consecutive years, and the catch was pitiful.

"But the other villages in the neighborhood were very normal during that decade......

"The Provincial Government sent a 'slaying envoy' to investigate the cause, but found nothing, only the conclusion that the feng shui of Jinli Village may not be good.

"That's why the big families in Jinli Village paid for the repair of the 'bluestone tower'."

"And what about later? Has the fortune of this Golden Carp Village improved? Zhao Chen asked.

Qi Feimeng shook his head and said, "After the bluestone tower was built, it didn't have any effect at that time...... The 'good fortune' of Jinli Village only turned around after the Gong family settled here and built the current mansion.

According to the county records, in the first year of the Gong family's settlement, Jinli Village ushered in a bumper harvest, and no matter what kind of cash crops were planted in the village that year, it would become a bestseller.

And the Gong family's various investments have never failed, and they have directly gone from the verge of bankruptcy to become one of the richest people in Guangnan County.

"But compared with the real wealthy families in the county, the Gong family's background is still too poor."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen sighed and said, "The Gong family has risen too fast, and it lacks force to deter, so it is naturally coveted by others...... If it is a pure businessman, there is also the protection of the government.

"But the Gong family is from a gang, so there should also be True Qi Realm cultivators in the family, right?

"In this way, the government will not easily intervene in the fights of people in the cultivation...... Just like when several martial arts halls and dart bureaus competed with us for 'trade routes', they were solved by the rules of the rivers and lakes. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Chen paused, and asked suspiciously, "But even so, it won't cause trouble, how could the Gong family end up like this?" ”

Qi Feimeng pointed to the surrounding mansions, which could still reveal a bit of luxury even if they were dilapidated, and said with a smile: "Everything has a price...... Good luck too!

"When fortune turns down, it's not strange to meet local tyrants and bullies who look ugly and unscrupulous."

Where misfortune and blessing rest, where blessing and misfortune lie...... Zhao Chen sighed to himself, and looked at the dilapidated houses around him, as well as the more desolate abandoned villages outside the mansions, and had some guesses in his heart about the true face of the so-called "cornucopia".

"Even if your little black cat takes the identity of the two daughters of the Gong family and helps them take revenge, it can't reverse the fate of Jinli Village's declining and declining nature...... At first, the villagers persisted, but when the harvest was out for two years, they completely despaired and left the place.

"The Provincial Government later sent someone to investigate again, but unfortunately they still found nothing, and they finally believed that the Gong family held a ceremony to gather wealth with the help of a certain treasure, and the result was caused by the ritual.

"And that treasure may have been taken......

"But actually, it's always been there, it's just not noticed."

When Qi Feimeng spoke, she had already taken Zhao Chen into the master bedroom in the backyard, and this was the place where she had broken through the Nine Orifices in her previous retreat and escaped from the pursuit of the "Yin Si" - the tunnel opened by the mechanism was still open.

"No one found out...... Is it hidden, or is it only discovered by a specific person or method? Zhao Chen asked thoughtfully.

He was more inclined to the latter, and that thing must be difficult to move, otherwise the people from the Provincial Government Office would not have found out, and there was no need for the Gong family to build a house here in the first place.

"I guess it's a specific person...... Qi Feimeng said with a smile, "After all, I also relied on the 'Portrait of the Bodhisattva' to vaguely perceive the aura of the 'Star God', and it is unlikely that the Gong family has something of this level." ”

If there were, we wouldn't be wiped out easily.

"In other words, the source of the Gong family's bloodline is related to the 'Star God'......" Zhao Chen was not too surprised by this, after all, the little black cat, as an alternative "incarnation" made by the "Spirit of Tianhe Blessed Land", was near the two sisters of the Gong family who died as soon as the first day of the new year came, which was already very revealing.

Even, the owner of the "Spirit of the Blessed Land of Tianhe", the layman of the "True Monarch of the Galaxy", is surnamed Gong, and he may not be sure.

As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen had already jumped into the tunnel with Qi Feimeng.

Since the trap here had been cleared by the people of the "Yin Division" last time, the two of them walked smoothly, and after about four or five minutes, they came to a fork in the road where the sound of water could be heard.

"The Gong family only discovered the so-called 'cornucopia' when they were building a tower on the bank of the river, so that thing is nearby, you come with me." After speaking, Qi Feimeng took Zhao Chen to turn left and entered a cave that looked like a warehouse.

It's just that the contents have long been emptied, leaving only a few broken boxes and an inconspicuous stone platform in the corner.

The stone platform is basin-shaped, with a hemispherical depression on the surface, and from a distance, it looks like a clay washbasin, which is completely inconspicuous.

But when Zhao Chen got closer, a magical scene appeared in his eyes, only to see the sparkling waves in the basin, like the sun shining into it.

And several koi fish are swimming in this pot, with a graceful posture, like a flower butterfly jumping in the water.

Their bodies are colorful, golden, red, or pure white, and all kinds of colors are intertwined, and against the background of the golden waves, it is like a beautiful painting, which makes people unable to take their eyes off it at first sight.

Just when Zhao Chen was out of his mind, Qi Feimeng's voice came into his ears:

"But what did you find?"
