Is there a murder case?!
Qin Yan's pupils suddenly shrank. He knew Jing Cheng would not joke about important matters, so what he said must be true. It was precisely because it was true that he was surprised. How did Boss Lu manage to remain calm in front of them?
Fu Le opened his mouth involuntarily: "You mean... Boss Lu is a murderer?"
Seeing that the two looked shocked, Jing Cheng said slowly, "He has a very evil face. I have said that a needle hanging from the forehead is a very bad sign. People of this type usually have strong desires and are impulsive and easily do irrational things. Although this person has a full forehead, his chin is shrunken, his ears are thin and weak, his cheekbones are prominent, and his cheeks are thin and fleshy. People of this type have little blessings and are suspicious. One more thing, have you noticed his eyes?"
Qin Yan blurted out: "Triangular eyes?"
Jing Cheng looked at him approvingly: "Not bad."
Fu Le was stunned and couldn't help asking: "What are triangular eyes? Triangular eyes? People with such triangular eyes must be extremely evil?" When he heard the word triangular eyes, Fu Le's mind instantly went astray, and many emoticons related to eyes flashed through his mind, such as "sinister little eyes" and so on.
He remembered that Boss Lu not only had double eyelids, but his eyes were also quite big, and they didn't look like a triangle.
Jing Cheng explained helplessly: "Triangular eyes are not the traditional triangular eyes, but refer to those eyes with horns on the upper and lower eyelids. It doesn't mean that people with triangular eyes are necessarily bad. Many older people have loose skin around their eyes, which may also lead to triangular eyes. The face should be viewed comprehensively."
Fu Le seemed to understand, but seeing Qin Yan rubbing his chin without saying anything and seeming to be in deep thought, he asked again, "I remember you said before that people with triangular eyes and hooked noses must be ruthless and vicious. Does Boss Lu have a hooked nose?"
...
...
Jing Cheng: "...It's the 'evil person's appearance', don't take it out of context." You are misinterpreting my meaning.
Fu Le waved his hand nonchalantly: "Sooner or later, you'll be a bad guy anyway, isn't it all the same?"
Jing Cheng: "...How can this be the same?"
A bad person looks like a bad person, and a bad person is a bad person. The difference of just one word makes a huge difference. How can they be the same?
Who says that if you have a bad face, you are definitely a bad guy? A real bad guy may not have "I am a bad guy" written on his face, so how can the two be confused?
Fortunately, Fu Le was not born in his era. If he had become an official and acted purely based on his likes and dislikes, how many unjust, false and wrongful cases would have been caused?
Thinking of those stars who had obvious stains that Fu Le admired before, he seemed to have said that "good-looking people can be forgiven for anything they do." Jing Cheng glanced at him and felt that he really needed to have a good talk with Fu Le and correct his three views. How could these three views be determined by his five appearances?
Fu Le suddenly slapped his forehead excitedly: "Wait, when I saw Boss Lu just now, I found that the whites of his eyes were full of bloodshot, just like those murderers in the movies. It was very scary at first glance. Do you think this is also the 'evil look' you mentioned?"
This time, Qin Yan interrupted Jing Cheng before he could speak: "Look at yourself in the mirror, do you think you look like a bad person?" What idiotic questions he asked, it was simply a waste of Jing Cheng's time.
Fu Le looked aggrieved: "..." He has thick eyebrows, big eyes and double eyelids, how can he look like a villain?
Under the threat of Boss Qin, Fu Le obediently took out the small mirror he carried with him and opened his eyes wide. He had been traveling all night with almost no rest, and was frightened by the encounter with the mandrill ghost in the forest. His eyes were indeed full of bloodshot.
In fact, if he usually played games all night, his eyes would turn red the next day, but after Jing Cheng warned him, he rarely stayed up late. When Fu Le suddenly saw his own red eyes, he felt a little emotional.
Jing Cheng looked at the two of them, his brows relaxed unconsciously, and he smiled: "In fact, what Fu Le said is not without reason. People with fiery eyes usually have strong liver fire and are not people who can suppress themselves. With triangular eyes and fiery eyes, this kind of people's spirit is likely to be on the verge of losing control. It is indeed a fierce sign in physiognomy."
Fu Le immediately raised his eyebrows proudly and winked at Qin Yan: Am I right?
Qin Yan turned his head with an indifferent expression, not wanting to face his stupidity: A blind cat catching a dead mouse, what's there to be proud of.
Jing Cheng turned his eyes and began to look around the room. Although the room was old, it was very clean. Everywhere he looked was filled with wooden and bamboo objects. Probably to prevent accidental fires, every room in the inn was painted with tung oil. The unique smell of tung oil filled the entire room and it was not pleasant.
He walked slowly to the only window in the room. Because the room was located high and the small building was facing the gate, he had a clear view of the yard.
Seeing him walking back and forth with a serious look on his face, Qin Yan and Fu Le couldn't help but come over and lie on the windowsill to look out.
"Orange, what did you find?"
Jing Cheng didn't turn around, and his voice came faintly: "What do you think this yard looks like?"
"Like a character...what do you mean?" Fu Le asked in surprise, "Do you mean like a certain Chinese character?"
Jing Cheng nodded almost imperceptibly.
"Another puzzle?" Fu Le thought with a bitter face, feeling quite anxious.
Qin Yan frowned and observed it for a while, then said hesitantly, "It's square on all four sides, like the Chinese character '口', with a rockery and a tree in the middle, and water flowing to both sides, like a left stroke and a right stroke... Could it be the Chinese character '囚'?"
Fu Le stretched his neck and looked into the distance, curling his lips and said, "There is water flowing above, and there are water flowing everywhere in this yard. There should be a lot of left and right strokes, right? It's definitely not the word "prisoner."
Qin Yan glanced at him and said coldly: "Then what do you say it looks like?"
"It's the word 'net', right?" Fu Le analyzed his opinion confidently, "Look, there are crisscrossing water flows everywhere in the yard, and there are buildings on three sides blocking it. There must be a gate, right? The gate of the inn must be open during the day for business, so there is no wall blocking it, it is open. If it's not the word 'net', what else can it be?"
Qin Yan: "...Did you swallow the rockery, trees and pond?"
Fu Le gestured with his fingers in the air: "Then add two more strokes in the middle and try. What the hell is this word? This isn't a word, is it?!"
"I think you two can think in a different direction." Jing Cheng interrupted them, "What Qin Yan said just now is very good. Don't treat it as a painting. You should translate everything you see and pay attention to its symbolic meaning."
"Look down, what do you see first?"
Qin Yan looked down and said directly, "Loquat tree."
Fu Le: "A big tree. It has grown so tall. It is too conspicuous."
"So it's a tree. In the Shuowen Jiezi, it says, 'Tree is the general name for wood plants', which is the character 'wood'. The square courtyard is 'mouth'. Now what do you think this character is?"
Jing Cheng said as he turned around and looked at the two of them and asked.
There was no need to argue this time, as they both said in unison: "Sleepy!"
"It's the word 'trapped'." Jing Cheng turned his head and continued to look at the courtyard outside. At this time, many tourists had already come downstairs. They were walking in the courtyard in groups of three or four, taking pictures, and some were squatting by the pond with fish food to feed the fish. "The old tree is yin, and the pond is also yin. The rockery is a ward off evil spirit, but the location is not very good. Its multiple flame-shaped sharp corners are directly facing the small building, which is the fire-shaped evil spirit. The fire-shaped evil spirit is the Li Gua in the Eight Diagrams, which belongs to fire. The owner will be involved in gossip and quarrels, and is prone to bloody disasters. The house is prone to fire, and in serious cases, there will be murders.
"And this 'trapped' situation is for the inn's owner. If he stays here for a long time, even though he has great fortune, his luck will get worse and worse. His fortune will flow in, but it will flow away. He can neither keep his wealth nor his life... That's why I said before that although this yard is a wealth-gathering situation, it's a pity because there is no matching house-guarding situation here."
Fu Le was stunned and said with wide eyes: "Fuck, they all match up. I just heard the boss say that the inn is his wife's dowry, and the profit of the inn almost all belongs to Xiao Tai's sister. He is just a shopkeeper... Thinking about it this way, Boss Lu seems to be a gigolo who makes money by women. It feels a bit pitiful. I suddenly feel a little sympathy for him."
Jing Cheng: “…”
He was a little speechless. What was there to sympathize with? It wasn't his thing in the first place...
Fu Le smacked his lips again and said, "But what's the difference between the word '困' and '囚'? They both seem to mean 'imprisonment'. Is there anything wrong with what Brother Yan said?"
Jing Cheng said seriously, "Wood is Yin, and people are Yang. The "trapped" layout generally refers to the layout of the courtyard, and the "prisoner" layout usually refers to the layout of the room. Although these two feng shui layouts are not good feng shui, the two cannot be confused."
Qin Yan pursed his lips, seeming a little hesitant: "Fire-shaped evil spirit... So this is the reason why the inn caught fire?"
Jing Cheng glanced at him and felt that he seemed to be in a low mood, as if he had been expecting something, but was greatly disappointed after accidentally learning the truth?
Sure enough, after a while, Qin Yan said, "But that's not what you said outside just now."
What did he say outside just now?
Jing Cheng tried to recall that everyone was discussing the cause of the fire outside the inn just now...
Fire-Shaped Evil...
The inn caught fire...
An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and Jing Cheng asked, "Are you wondering why only the couple's room was burned in the fire in the inn?"
Qin Yan nodded and said expressionlessly: "Isn't it the work of a ghost?"
Fu Le turned his head and looked at Qin Yan with a dreamy expression on his face. Could it be that Brother Yan could now talk about ghosts so easily?
Jing Cheng was a little surprised why he was so obsessed with this, but he still gave a polite explanation: "Although the layout here is evil, it has not achieved the effect of gathering yin. Besides, this internet-famous inn has a large flow of customers, and people come and go every day. There is plenty of yang energy, so it is naturally not easy for ghosts to appear."
Jing Cheng walked around the room and asked, "When you came in, did you feel cold, or stuffy or depressed?"
The two of them felt it carefully and found that although there was a cool breeze around them, it was only because the doors and windows were open and it was due to the season, so they shook their heads.
"That's right." Jing Cheng said, "Where there are ghosts, it will affect the magnetic field here, and the imbalance of yin and yang can be sensed by the human body."
Qin Yan said in a deep voice: "Then why did Boss Lu deliberately remind us?"
"Yes, and the people who were in the news before were indeed a couple. Could it be that this Fire-Shaped Evil also treats people differently?" Fu Le asked, touching his chin.
Jing Cheng shook his head and said softly, "Fire-shaped evil is a common Feng Shui evil. It's normal for an inn to catch fire occasionally, but it's not common. I guess this is a gimmick made up by the innkeeper. I don't know whether the fire is caused by the innkeeper, maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's something else. As for why Boss Lu reminded us..."
Facing the two people's questioning, Jing Cheng smiled slightly, and his smile was somewhat meaningful: "That's naturally because... he has something to hide."
Qin Yan and Fu Le looked at each other and saw confusion and puzzlement in each other's eyes.
Jing Cheng lowered his eyes and rubbed his fingers gently. The two looked in the direction of his movements and found that he had been twisting a few strands of hair in his hands. The hair was a little rough, about three inches long, and slightly yellow.
This hair quality is obviously not the hair of the three of them. Qin Yan couldn't hide his surprise: "Could this be...?"
Jing Cheng glanced at him and said in a low voice, "This is Boss Lu's hair."
Qin Yan & Fu Le: "..."
Of course we know that this is Boss Lu's hair, so when did you secretly pull it out when no one was paying attention?
…
…
"This...Master Xiao Jing, what do you think is wrong with my yard?" Boss Lu heard others call Jing Cheng "Master Xiao Jing", so he followed suit to show his closeness. Because he was half a head taller than Jing Cheng, he bowed slightly when he spoke, and his smiling eyes would occasionally wander around Jing Cheng's face and the area below the waist.
Lu Keyuan is not sure whether Jing Cheng, the so-called "Taoist priest", is really capable. The program crew might have deliberately created such a pretty young man as a gimmick, but this does not prevent him from admiring him.
Especially the other person, from appearance to figure and temperament, it seemed as if she was tailor-made for him.
The more Lu Keyuan looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Jing Cheng: “…”
If Qin Yan hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that Boss Lu was actually "very interested" in him, so when he noticed the other party's malicious gaze, Jing Cheng felt disgusted and surprised at the same time. This young boss looked like a decent person, but he was so bold!
He never gave people free feng shui readings. Boss Lu looked stingy, so he thought it was just a casual question. Jing Cheng didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he asked directly, "If I'm not mistaken, Boss Lu should have had a same-sex lover before, right?"
Boss Lu: “…”
Before he could react, Jing Cheng dropped the second bomb: "A month ago, the inn caught fire. In addition to the couple reported in the news, your lover also died in the fire, but you kept it a secret. Until now, people outside think he is missing. Is that true or not?"
Boss Lu widened his eyes in shock, his bloodshot eyes filled with disbelief, that expression was almost like a confession - how did you know?
Jing Cheng recalled that when he was observing Boss Lu in the morning, he discovered something from his facial features and secretly kept something to himself. Of course, the people from the program crew who went out to look for information also contributed greatly.
His expression turned stern, and he asked in a cold voice: "So...does Song Yan's death have anything to do with you?"
