Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
Chen Xiao immediately said to the shop owner: "Then please lead the way and take me to meet the neighbor."
In the world of immortal cultivation, capable professionals are usually asked to do things by others, and the shop owner thought Chen Xiao might not be so easy to talk to. Seeing him agree so straightforwardly, the shop owner thought that the other party was doing it for his sake, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The shop owner raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "My last name is Zhang, Master Chen, just call me Lao Zhang."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "The owner is older than me, how can I be so presumptuous. How about I call you Fellow Daoist Zhang?"
Shop owner Zhang smiled from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly: "Sure, sure."
As a baggage merchant who traveled around various realms, he was always a low-level figure among the practitioners and was rarely looked up to. Chen Xiaoken called him a fellow Taoist, which gave him a sense of respect.
Chen Xiao didn't understand why, but the other party's attitude became more enthusiastic, which was not a bad thing, so he didn't pursue it further.
He turned around and greeted Li and Zhou, "Brother Li, I'm sorry, I won't be going back for the time being. Look, do you want to go back first, or come with me?"
The otaku seemed to have no sense of existence just now. It was not until he talked to Li and Zhou that the shop owner realized that this man was with Chen Xiao. Just now he thought this was a passerby standing aside to watch the fun.
Li and Zhou have social disabilities and are simply unable to communicate with people they don't know.
Chen Xiao also had good intentions, so as to avoid embarrassment for a while, he gave Li and Zhou a choice. He thought he would choose to go home and continue to study the new formula, but he didn't expect Li and Zhou to nod at him and express their willingness to go with him.
Li and Zhou knew that Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master, but because they had rarely met and interacted with each other before, he didn't know exactly what Feng Shui was. This time they had the opportunity to observe it up close, so they naturally wouldn't miss it.
After introducing shop owner Zhang and Li and Zhou to each other, they followed shop owner Zhang's lead to his neighbor's house.
This family is located on the street in front of the courtyard that Chen Xiao bought. They can be considered neighbors. With such a relationship, Chen Xiao feels that he should do his best. Not to mention developing a business, it is necessary to build a good relationship with the neighbors.
Shop owner Zhang stopped in front of a door facing the street, turned around and said to Chen Xiao, "This is the one. Master Chen, wait a moment, I'll call him out."
Chen Xiao nodded, and Shopkeeper Zhang went in.
Li Yuzhou looked up and said to Chen Xiao, "This house is quite old. Although it occupies a similar area to your new home, the layout is far different."
Chen Xiao was also observing. He didn't say anything when he heard this, but nodded in agreement in his heart.
The house of this family is of typical mixed-use style - blind expansion without any rules.
You don't have to go in and see the inside, just look at the eaves and tall windows exposed outside to know what kind of cramped environment it is.
After a while, the shop owner Zhang came out with someone.
At first glance, this man looked very similar to Du Rong. They both had a tough guy style, a steady gait, and gave people a sense of reliability.
Shopkeeper Zhang introduced Chen Xiao, "Master Chen, this is Master Chai." Then he said to Master Chai, who was looking at Chen Xiao, "This is the Feng Shui master I mentioned before, Master Chen."
Master Chai bowed and greeted Chen Xiao. He lacked the ethereal aura of an immortal cultivator and instead had more of the temperament of a rough and untamed man.
This made Chen Xiao make a judgment in his mind.
This person should be similar to Du Rong. He also relied on his own efforts and accumulated resources for cultivation through experience to gradually get to where he is today.
However, judging from the fact that he was called the Sect Master, his luck and qualifications should be much better than Du Rong before he met him. Regardless of whether he was doing well or not, he still had a group of people under him.
"Master Chen, please come in and talk." Master Chai obviously didn't have the habit of letting guests stand at the door to chat. Although the interior was very simple and shabby, he still invited Chen Xiao into the living room.
Entering the gate is a square patio of only five or six square meters in size. It is very dark because of the eaves.
Opposite the main door is a long and narrow corridor, with rooms on both sides and the living room at the end. There is no other wall blocking the back of the living room, and there is a large window facing the corridor, which makes the room quite bright.
Sitting at the lower seat, Chen Xiao sighed in his heart. The feng shui of this house caused both financial loss and harm to people. No wonder the people living here were so poor that they didn't even have the money to repair it.
After some conversation, Chen Xiao learned that Master Chai was indeed the same as Du Rong. After leaving the academy, he did not join the aristocratic guards or the city lord's mansion. He went on to train alone and then started from scratch.
However, he was more knowledgeable than Du Rong and knew that there would be no future in fighting alone, so he pulled people to work with him and accepted a few disciples as helpers, forming a small sect.
Gradually, Master Chai also became famous. In addition to earning resources through training, he also accepted employment and served as a bodyguard for other trainees.
What Chai Sect Master didn't say was that his luck had not been very good in recent years. Whenever things got better, the people in the sect would always get injured or get into trouble with someone. The money they saved was either used to treat illnesses or to avoid disasters. Although they were not penniless, they were still very tight.
Master Chai's eyes were sparkling. He looked directly at Chen Xiao and said, "After hearing about Lao Zhang's experience, I was moved. I thought that if the front door of a house faces the street, there would be such adverse effects. So, I thought that I would also suffer similar harms from the injuries and disasters I have suffered in recent years. So, I wanted to ask Master Chen to take a look. Lao Zhang is also a kind-hearted person. After listening to my request, he has been very attentive to find Master Chen."
The owner of the Chai family is an experienced man with a lot of experience. Naturally, he would not rashly ask for help just by listening to the one-sided words of the owner Zhang.
He first went to Zhishitang and checked Chen Xiao's information. He learned that there was indeed such a profession as Feng Shui master, so he turned around and asked the store owner Zhang for an invitation.
His status was not high enough, and he could not find out the information of a higher level. Otherwise, he would know that there was only one Feng Shui master in the whole Tianjing. At that time, he would not be sure whether he would dare to invite him.
Although he was sure that Chen Xiao was not a swindler, Master Chai still had doubts. He was uneasy and didn't dare to try. After all, Lao Zhang said that Master Chen only said a few words to give some advice, but Lao Zhang paid a price of 100 spirit beads!
It's not that he can't come up with the money, but he has to squeeze it out. He has to make sure that it won't be wasted.
The Chai family master said, "Before asking Master Chen to take a look, could you please help me understand why a house is not good for the people living in it?"
Strictly speaking, Master Chai's question was very presumptuous.
After all, this involves the principles of Feng Shui, which is equivalent to the core content of other divination techniques in the world. How could it be easily shown to others?
However, even if it meant risking offending the other party, Master Chai still had to ask tentatively first, otherwise he would be unsure.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao is currently promoting the role and efficacy of Feng Shui, and he is happy to answer questions when someone asks about it. Of course, he only talked about some general concepts and did not go into specific details.
Chen Xiao said: "Then I will briefly explain it to Master Chai. There are three kinds of luck in the world, namely heaven, earth, and man. Heaven's luck is destined from birth, which determines a person's origin and the environment he lives in. But human luck is not static. You can improve your surroundings through your own efforts, or your laziness may affect your originally good heaven's luck."
After a pause, allowing everyone present to digest and understand, Chen Xiao continued, "And the luck of the earth, also known as the earth's energy, refers to Feng Shui. Feng Shui can adjust the earth's energy to create a comfortable and beneficial field for people. It eliminates unfavorable evil spirits and brings favorable good luck. When people are in such a field, their life and behavior will naturally be subtly influenced, bringing various benefits."
Chen Xiao did not elaborate, but practitioners have their own understanding of heaven, earth, and man. Seeing that Feng Shui is actually related to the earth's veins, they can accept some of the mysterious and magical things.
Master Chai showed a satisfied look, stood up and said, "I understand. Thank you Master Chen for clearing up my confusion. Then please have a look at my house and see what is wrong with it."
Chen Xiao stood up as well.
In fact, he knew where the problem was as soon as he came in, but he was not familiar with the place and he was not famous. In order to avoid the customer thinking that he was too careless, Chen Xiao checked the place inside and out again under the guidance of Master Chai.
Once again, they returned to the living room. Before they sat down, Master Chai couldn't wait to ask, "Master Chen, is there any problem with my house?"
Chen Xiao's expression was solemn. He nodded slowly: "Yes."
Although Master Chai had already guessed it, he was still shocked by Chen Xiao's affirmation and took a breath: "Is there really a problem?!"
Chen Xiao said "hmm" and turned around to sit in the same seat as before. After Master Chai calmed down a bit, he also sat in the main seat.
The shop owner Zhang who was sitting next to him asked, "Master Chen, please don't keep us in suspense. What's wrong with Brother Chai's house?"
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, "There are indeed quite a few problems. The first ones to mention are the front door, the living room door, and this window."
As soon as the words fell, several people stretched their heads to look at the front door, the living room door, and the large window behind.
Chen Xiao gave the answer directly without waiting for anyone to ask any more questions.
He said: "From the perspective of Feng Shui, it is unlucky if the main door, living room door, or room door and window form a straight line. This house is located on the street, and there is a road outside. The road is water, which can bring vitality, which should be very good Feng Shui. The vitality flowing in from the main door should bring wealth to the owner. However, before the vitality formed a circulation in the house, it followed the main door and living room door in a straight line and then dissipated through the window."
Chen Xiao looked at Master Chai and said, "I think Master Chai should always have opportunities to make money, and often make a lot of money. But he always can't keep it, and soon spends it for various reasons."
Chaimenzhu was very surprised. He didn't tell the other party about this. Shopkeeper Zhang hadn't been here for long and probably didn't know much. Chen Xiao only looked at the house and saw it through the Feng Shui technique. It must be said that it was amazing!
However, Chen Xiao hadn't finished speaking yet, the focus was not on the doors and windows that were connected in a line.
"The second, and most serious, issue is the corridors in the house," he said.
Master Chai was confused, "What happened to the corridor?"
"The corridor is longer than the depth of the house, and is located right in the middle of the house. It is also directly connected to a door, which directly forms a 'heart-piercing arrow', which is a very ominous pattern!"
