"Great evil? Situation?" Chaimen Master looked at Chen Xiao solemnly, "How serious is this?"
Chen Xiao paused. Unlike the Feng Shui of his previous life, which had a history of thousands of years, ordinary people could easily understand what a great disaster meant. The practitioners in this world had encountered too many dangers, and a word like "great disaster" could not immediately make them understand what it meant.
Chen Xiao said, "Since Master Chai had learned about the situation of his store from Fellow Daoist Zhang before, he should know that the main door of his store faces the street, forming a gun evil, which caused him to always encounter bloody disasters. The gun evil is outside the house, and the harm is already so great, not to mention that the 'heart-piercing arrow' in the house is firmly across the house, and is located in the very center. It is conceivable that the harm is even greater!"
Shop owner Zhang said in surprise, "Is this like the difference between someone using a spear to release true energy to threaten you and being shot by an arrow?"
One was a threat, and the other was already traumatized. Only then did Master Chai sincerely feel the seriousness of the situation.
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "'Heart-piercing arrows' are much more serious than spear evil. This is because Master Chai and you often go out for training and don't live here all the time, so the impact is not that severe. Otherwise, there would be casualties."
Master Chai gave a bitter smile and broke out in a cold sweat.
Isn’t this serious?
Every time we go out on a mission, there are always people coming back with injuries, and in serious cases, their lives are even in danger.
He thought of a large escort mission he had just received from Zhishitang. This mission would take a year and the reward was unprecedentedly generous.
In order to avoid any mistakes, this hidden danger must be resolved before leaving!
Master Chai had an idea in mind, so he said to Chen Xiao in a serious tone: "Master Chen, I trust you because of Lao Zhang's relationship! Since the problem of this house is so serious, Master Chen, please think of a way to resolve it. Don't worry, I know the rules! Afterwards, I will definitely give you a generous reward! As long as you can really solve this hazard, I, Lao Chai, will be grateful to you."
Chai Menzhu was talking excitedly. Chen Xiao was used to such scenes and replied calmly, "Chai Menzhu, you are too serious. In two or three days, I will move to the street behind. Since we will become neighbors in the future, I naturally cannot sit idly by and watch Chai Menzhu's difficulties. Otherwise, how can I get along with my neighbors in the future, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Master Chai laughed out loud: "I'm relieved that we have this kind of relationship. Master Chen will move in in a few days. Don't worry, my disciples will definitely come to your house to help you. If there is any heavy or dirty work, feel free to ask for it. Don't hesitate!"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I don't want to bother you. I've been staying at a friend's house before, so I don't have anything to move. The house is fully stocked, so I can just move in."
Chai Menzhu thought to himself that he couldn't help, so he might as well give some suitable gifts when the time comes. After revealing this topic, Chai Menzhu sincerely asked Chen Xiao to resolve the feng shui interference.
Chen Xiao promised to come up with a solution within three days, and then he left. Chaimen Master escorted them directly to the door, and Chen Xiao left the street with Zhang, Li, and Zhou.
When they were near the market, Chen Xiao said to the shop owner Zhang: "Friend Zhang, it's still early. I think you still have things to do in your shop, so I won't waste your time."
Shop owner Zhang could naturally hear that Chen Xiao was politely asking him to leave. He was very tactful and made an appointment with Chen Xiao to visit again after he moved out. Then he said goodbye and went to his own shop.
On the way back, Li and Zhou asked curiously, "Brother Xiao, do you have any idea about the problem facing Master Chai's family?"
Chen Xiao did not hide anything from him and said, "I have more than just some ideas. I have several complete solutions."
Li and Zhou were very surprised. It was the first time for them to see Feng Shui. They were really worried about Chen Xiao and found it very difficult to deal with. They didn't expect Chen Xiao to come up with several solutions in such a short time.
As if seeing his surprise, Chen Xiao said: "There is wisdom from our predecessors in this, I am just repeating what others have said. There is also my previous personal experience, which I have summarized into ready-made experience. It is just like any other skill, but it is not difficult for those who know how to do it."
Li and Zhou were relieved after hearing this. However, he was still confused, "If that's the case, why do we have to wait three days?"
Chen Xiao patiently explained to him: "This is because Feng Shui is still too unfamiliar to practitioners, and I am not well-known. If I give a solution on the spot, Master Chai will think I am very capable. But it will leave him with a wrong impression that Feng Shui is so simple."
This will be detrimental to people's impression of Feng Shui in the future, so Chen Xiao will naturally not lose the big picture for the small.
Li and Zhou didn't expect it to be so complicated, and they couldn't understand what Chen Xiao said. After thinking about it, they still couldn't figure it out.
Chen Xiao was not in a position to explain it to him in further detail, as this involved the positioning of Feng Shui masters by practitioners in the future sects.
Fortunately, Li Yuzhou's brain is more straightforward than Tong Nuonuo's, so if he can't figure it out, he won't think about it anymore.
Two days later, the cultivator who bought the house from Chen Xiao handed him the key of the house before leaving. Although to the cultivators, the courtyard wall and door lock were the same as being unguarded. This formality was just symbolic rather than practical.
In addition to the house, the furniture inside is also included in the transaction.
Although they were not expensive, they were made of solid wood and were still intact and strong after decades of use. Chen Xiao had no intention of replacing them and planned to clean them before continuing to use them.
He had nothing to pack, so he only took the newly bought bedding with him, but Li and Zhou still personally sent him there. They had a meal together in the evening and stayed there overnight, even if it was to help warm his house.
The next day, Li Yuzhou returned to his home, after all, he still had orders to fulfill.
Chen Xiao had always wondered how Li and Zhou could keep receiving orders with their personalities. Later, he found out that he had a partnership with Zhencaotang, and they would place orders with him when they needed them. In addition, he also received some customized medicines through Zhencaotang and Zhishitang, both for individuals and sects.
Although they are not good at socializing, Li and Zhou are actually outstanding among pharmacists. Their level of medicine refining is far superior to their peers, and they have a high status in Zhencaotang.
Master Chai was probably in a hurry, so he came to the door early in the morning.
Shopkeeper Zhang arrived at the same time as him. This surprised Chen Xiao, and he said to Shopkeeper Zhang, "Why doesn't Brother Zhang have to deal with business?"
Shop owner Zhang said with a smile: "This is all thanks to Master Chen. After helping me solve the gun evil, I have never encountered any disasters again, and the business of the shop has also improved. With the surplus, I hired a clerk to look after the shop, and I went to look for supplies myself."
"I see." Chen Xiao nodded.
He was alone here, so naturally there was no servant to serve tea, so he went to boil water himself and made tea to entertain the guests.
Fortunately, Master Chai was patient and waited until Chen Xiao came back with tea before taking out the gift he had prepared and handing it to him.
"Master Chen, I don't know what to give you to celebrate your move. I see that you are short of manpower, so I took the liberty of choosing two. If Master Chen doesn't mind, please accept them."
Chen Xiao didn't understand at first, but when he opened the paper he handed over, he saw that they were actually two indentures.
"This?" Chen Xiao looked at Master Chai in surprise.
The owner of the Chai family said: "One of them is a 17-year-old man, who is strong and healthy. He can do some heavy work, such as going out to buy things. The other is a girl, 15 years old, who can do some light work such as serving tea and water, sweeping and cleaning. Both were bought through formal channels, have been trained, and are obedient and sensible."
Shop owner Zhang was also quite surprised and a little annoyed. He said, "Brother Chai is really thoughtful. I only prepared a decoration, a dead object, and no one can use it."
Chen Xiao had been in the Tianjing world for so many years, and he knew that among the wealthy families there were many slaves whose freedom had been bought out, and there were also house-born children who were born as inferior people.
He himself had been served by such people, but that was on someone else's territory.
When he was truly faced with the power to decide life and death, he still felt heavy in his heart. Not only heavy, but also a strange sense of awkwardness.
However, the general environment was such that he was powerless to change anything.
Since Master Chai bought him and gave him to Chen Xiao, he must not be an ordinary servant. Instead, he was trained by the Yahang since he was young and prepared to be sold to practitioners. He was trained in how to treat people and things, so naturally he was expensive.
If the gift he bought for someone was returned, who knows what the two teenagers would do. At worst, he could pay them more money while they were working for him, and when they were older, he would return the indentures to them and set them free.
Chen Xiao thanked Master Chai for his kindness, accepted the two indentures, and said that this gift was very pleasing and saved him a lot of trouble.
When Master Chaimen saw that the gift he gave won people's favor, he grinned happily.
Shop owner Zhang was not to be outdone and took out his gift.
Chen Xiao had seen him carrying a large box, and when he opened it he found it was an incense burner.
The Chai Sect Master hissed, bared his teeth and exclaimed: "Old Zhang, you are really generous!"
Seeing his shocked expression, shop owner Zhang twirled his newly grown mustache with great pride, and said modestly, "No, no, dead things are just dead things after all, and they are not as useful as the servants sent by Brother Chai."
Chai Sect Master rolled his eyes at him and said, "You bastard, how can you compare? With this incense burner, lighting the incense, you will get twice the result with half the effort when you practice. For people like us, it's not a matter of whether or not to use it."
When store owner Zhang heard him say this, he felt even more proud and started laughing.
Chen Xiao looked at the hollow incense burner about fifty centimeters high standing on the ground.
No one knows what metal this incense burner is made of, nor how many years it has been in existence. It has a brown-red base color, a layer of lustrous patina on the surface, and a soft golden sheen in the reflective areas. It looks simple, noble and elegant.
From Chen Xiao's perspective, which he had trained on the antique street, this incense burner was a top-notch item even among the "immortal toys".
According to Master Chai, this incense burner is not just a simple decoration, it can also assist in spiritual practice.
This made Chen Xiao curious, so he asked directly: "I have only been practicing for a short time. Although I have seen incense burners before, I have never heard that they can be used during meditation. Is there any difference between this incense burner?"
