Chapter 119: Wind Controls Population, Water Controls Wealth (1/2)
Everyone was talking and laughing, and they were not upset by the interruption of Captain John.
They walked for another half an hour.
They reached a hillside, where they could look down at the terrain of the village and town.
"Uncle Jiu, what do you think of the Feng Shui of our village?"
The village chief stretched out his hand and asked Uncle Jiu to look at the Feng Shui.
Uncle Jiu glanced around and found nothing wrong, so he calculated with his fingers.
He was sure of what he was thinking, but did not speak directly.
He lowered his head and looked at Lin Yu.
"Xiao Yu, what do you think of the Feng Shui here? Can you see it clearly?"
"Master, let me take a closer look."
Facing Uncle Jiu's test, Lin Yu was neither arrogant nor impatient, but seemed to be confident.
[Profession: Taoist]
[Realm: lv2 (Taoist)]
[Sect: Maoshan]
[Mana: 8967]
His main profession is a Taoist.
Every time a skill is learned and every experience is gained, a lot of mysterious knowledge will be attached.
With his current level of Taoism, he is about to enter the realm of magician.
That is equivalent to the same realm as Taoist Simu and Taoist Qianhe.
Both of them are the mainstays of the previous Maoshan, and they are also first-class figures in the world of Xuanmen.
With the knowledge of Feng Shui that should be mastered at this level, it is easy to check the Feng Shui of such a small village.
Facing Uncle Jiu's test of his apprentice's level, the village chief and some young men he brought did not show any strange expressions, but felt that it was natural.
After several contacts a day, they knew that the little magician in front of them was indeed worthy of his reputation.
The reputation of the child prodigy and the exiled immortal from Renjia Town is not false.
This little magician is born smart, with dragon-shaped and phoenix-shaped eyes, and is talented and extraordinary.
Although he is young, he is obviously a master of Taoism.
Qiu Sheng and Ren Tingting are very curious about how capable their second brother is?
Fighting, refining, and making talismans are all very good, can they also read Feng Shui?
You know, the two of them didn't get started too late, and now they are only wandering in those basic knowledge, and have never had a chance to practice. They are useless even if they are given a chance.
Lin Yu looked at the terrain in all directions, looked at the green mountains, and felt the breeze in the mountains.
He first bowed and called Master.
He pointed to the terrain on all sides and answered the village chief and others.
"This village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a golden basin offering auspiciousness on the left, water leaking through the hall on the right, Hua Ting Crane Feather in front, and Jinshan Cuiyu behind, which is just the image of prosperity. Although it cannot be called a Feng Shui treasure land that is hard to find, it can definitely be said to be quite good.
Living in this blessed land, the villagers should be prosperous in both population and wealth."
Some people were happy and some were worried after hearing this.
Knowing that you sleep in a Feng Shui treasure land and settle down here naturally makes people feel happy.
But the current situation seems to be a little different from this statement.
"Although it is a Feng Shui treasure land, the men and women in our village are not lazy, and no one has done anything bad. They have barely made ends meet for so many years, and I have never seen many families become rich..."
A man complained a few words.
Lin Yu shook his head gently and sighed.
"Everything in the world depends on human efforts. Although it is a Feng Shui treasure land, it also depends on how people are. Nowadays, the world is in ruins, and people are living in misery and insecure. Although your village cannot be rich, few people suffer from poverty and illness, are wronged and humiliated, and are bullied in all kinds of ways. It is already quite blessed that they do not die in the wilderness."
Although this village is a Feng Shui treasure land, there are local tyrants everywhere, and the benefits will always be plundered, and the people still live an average life.
Not to mention that their Jiuquan Town seems to have connections with some local warlords.
There are even more exorbitant taxes and levies. Even if it is a Feng Shui treasure land, it cannot be left without chickens to lay eggs and be taken by others.
These people are lucky to be able to live safely until now.
But how can we say such things?
We can’t blame the mayor and village chief for collecting taxes, or blame the warlords stationed nearby for levying heavy taxes...
It is a taboo to talk about deep things with people you have just met, and these things can never be said.
After hearing the explanation, several people could only sigh with relief.
Although life is not easy, it is still manageable.
It is indeed better than those outside.
And if it weren’t for the good feng shui here, how could the banana tree that wants to evolve be bred?
Good and bad are interdependent, that’s it.
“What the young Taoist priest said makes sense, and we are lucky. But compared to the past, the livestock and the population in the village have been restless for no reason these days, and there has been a monster that harms people. Is it because the feng shui was originally good, but now it has gone wrong?”
The village chief asked carefully.
It concerns the villagers of the whole village, and also his family, so he must be cautious.
Lin Yu pondered for a while, feeling the smooth mountain breeze.
The breeze blew, the pine trees rustled, and the green mountains bowed down, like green waves, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
"The two words of Feng Shui, one is wind, the other is water. The most important thing is actually the vitality, the vitality and the yin and yang, the yin and yang must be harmonized.
The wind refers to the airflow, and the air must not be blocked."
Lin Yu pointed at the shaking trees in the mountains, and then pointed at the fluttering clothes on his body.
"Look, now the wind is strong and the airflow is smooth, so there is naturally no problem with the wind."
"Then is there something wrong with the water?"
The village chief asked immediately.
There is no water in this position.
Lin Yu glanced at Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu gently twisted his beard, his face full of smiles.
"Yes, Xiao Yu's judgment of Feng Shui is very accurate. You all should learn from Xiao Yu and take him as an example."
"We can't compare in cultivation, but you can always learn and use Feng Shui."
Uncle Jiu was very satisfied with Lin Yu's answer.
By the way, he encouraged the other three disciples.
Then he continued to reply.
"Don't worry, Village Chief, my disciple's judgment is correct. There is indeed no problem with the wind here. As for whether there is a problem with the water, we have to go to the water source to have a look."
"I know that the little Taoist priest has real skills, and it is also a famous teacher who produces excellent students. Let's go, I'll take you to see the water source."
The village chief had a warm smile on his face.
He leaned on a walking stick, and he didn't feel old or tired.
He walked quickly in front, and couldn't wait to take Uncle Jiu and Lin Yu to see the water source.
He walked for another half a quarter of an hour.
He turned a few corners and walked some mountain roads.
They came to a low cliff.
A small waterfall flowed down from the cliff.
It fell into the pool below, gathered into a river, and flowed downstream along the river.
It was like a silver belt winding all the way to the village.
"From here, the water quality is good."
Uncle Jiu made a preliminary judgment.
The water was clear, and the stream stones were clean and smooth.
There were not many duckweeds growing in the river, and the running water flowed smoothly, and there was no stagnation.
The river flow was quite fast, clean, and not stagnant, which meant that there was no stagnant water, strong purification ability, and it was difficult for external evil to arise.
This village really had good feng shui, good wind and good water.
"Xiao Yu."
"Yes, Master."
Uncle Jiu called out, and Lin Yu knew that he was asked to come and see again.
He stepped forward and walked gently on the hillside.
He looked around.
Then he turned back to answer.
He had a plan in mind and continued to explain to the village chief.
He also incorporated some easy-to-understand knowledge into it, and explained it to his senior brothers, junior brothers, and junior sisters.
"As the saying goes, wind controls the population and people control wealth. If the wind does not enter the house, there will be no prosperity. If the water does not flow into the hall, there will be no prosperity. We have just seen the wind in your village.
The wind is good, so the population should be prosperous.
Your water is also good! The water level of this water is first-class. Look at the bottom of the waterfall."
Lin Yu pointed his finger and signaled everyone to look.
He also winked at his senior brothers, junior brothers, and junior sisters, asking the three of them to look carefully.
"You three look carefully and study hard. What Xiaoyu said is right. This kind of on-site learning is the most progressive. You can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. This is called the unity of knowledge and action. I hope you can gain something."
Uncle Jiu instructed his apprentices.
The three people followed Lin Yu's hand and looked more seriously.
"This is called the Dragon Spit Pearl Point. It was formed into a water ring after being impacted and eroded by mountain streams, trapping the water flow and forming a golden dragon chasing pearls."
"This point is not only extremely useful, but also a great starting point for those of you who are just starting to learn Feng Shui."
He explained to the village chief one more sentence.
"For those of you who don't understand, there is also a wonderful thing. It can easily let you distinguish the good and bad Feng Shui. Know if there is any problem."
The village chief and others also leaned forward, looking forward to it.
"As the saying goes, round pearls and smooth jades make the family rich and the house prosperous, isn't it? Or when you doubt that it is not the case, if there is a problem with Feng Shui, just look at the pearls and you will know."
"Where is the pearl?"
Everyone asked in succession.
Lin Yu took a few steps forward and jumped down from the low cliff in two or three steps. His figure was agile and swift.
Uncle Jiu and the others also came down in three or two steps.
The villagers, one by one, supported the village chief and slowly sent him down.
Then they slowly stood by the stream, holding on to the branches, trunks and roots beside them.
Lin Yu stood beside the Dragon Spit Pearl Cave.
A piece of bluestone was covering the middle.
Reaching out to open it, a stone bead with some cracks but smooth overall was in it.
"You didn't see, this is the bead of the Dragon Spit Pearl Cave."
Everyone curiously leaned over to look and reached out to touch it.
They were amazed.
"I really didn't expect that there was actually a bead here. Was it really not placed here by humans?"
"Yes, it's amazing. Look at this bead. It's rounder than the one made by the stonemason."
"It takes a superb craftsmanship to make such a stone bead so round."
A villager asked curiously.
"I think this bead is very beautiful, and it should also meet the four words of round and smooth. Does it mean that the Feng Shui of our village is very good and there is no problem?"
Lin Yu shook his head directly.
"It seems that the water source of your village has a problem now."
"Ah? Why is that?"
"Look at this bead. If it is not round, it means that the Feng Shui here is not so good and not harmonious and smooth enough."
"But it is round enough, which means that the original Feng Shui here is excellent, with yin and yang complementing each other, and the sun and the moon nourishing, which can produce such a good bead."
"Such a good bead is now split in half..."
"Is it man-made? Is there someone who wants to harm our village and deliberately ruin our Feng Shui?"
The villagers asked anxiously.
Lin Yu couldn't be sure either.
"I'm not sure whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. The only thing that's certain now is that there's something wrong with the water in your village."
"The appearance of that banana spirit must be due to this."
The combination of yin and yang is supposed to generate righteousness.
It is a good thing for the harvest of plantains in their plantain forests.
But this bead has cracks.
Yin and Yang are out of balance, and anger becomes biased.
When it is poured into that banana tree, it will produce a sign of the banana becoming sperm.
It is very difficult to turn something like banana into a spirit.
She had just given birth to the initial conditions, and because of the imbalance of yin and yang, the yin energy was strong, like a candle in the night sky, she attracted a lonely ghost.
One of them offered his body, the other offered his soul, and merged into the plantain spirit.
She is both a female ghost in red and a banana spirit.
Presumably it's all for this reason.
"Then what should we do now? Should we polish a bead and put it back? Or put the beads together?"
Qiu Sheng asked curiously.
"Feng shui is created by nature. Even if it is adjusted manually, it still needs the help of heaven and earth. Now even if you polish a bead and put it in to let it grow and run in again, it will not be effective in a short time."
"Furthermore, there is something wrong with the water. I don't know whether it is natural or man-made. This water is now undrinkable. It is urgent to find another water source."
The village chief immediately became anxious.
"But we have already drank the water here, what should we do?"
"It's okay now, and it should be okay in the future. Those who have already been in trouble will not have trouble again after they are rescued. Isn't this why you came to us?"
"Don't drink the water here from now on, let it recover slowly, and nothing will happen to you in the future."
The village chief nodded repeatedly.
"Blessed are you to have fast legs and feet. Go back immediately and tell everyone not to drink the water in this river. Take as little as possible."
"Okay, I'll go back now."
A man who looked rather skinny immediately turned around and ran away.
On this mountain road, I jumped up and down, using my feet and hands as dexterously as an ape.
No wonder it runs fast.
"Uncle Jiu, little mage, what should we do now? Do we need to find another water source?"
Uncle Jiu said: "You have to follow what my disciple said and quickly find another water source."
"Looking for another water source to replace Feng Shui?"
"What are you thinking about? If the feng shui is broken, it is broken. It cannot be repaired in a short while. Your feng shui pattern is different from the furnishings in that house."
"Now let's find another water source and dig a well quickly to provide clean water for the villagers to avoid being invaded by this foreign evil again and hurting people's lives."
The village chief was a little disappointed.
But also know the priorities.
"Uncle Jiu, I still need your help."
