Besides, Wang Dongsheng’s belief in Feng Shui for so many years was not in vain. He knew much more about Feng Shui than ordinary people. He even bought some books on Feng Shui and read them in an effort to understand more about it.
With his good eyesight and the inquiries he had made over the past few days, he knew that everyone was more optimistic about Site No. 3. That site was the best choice in terms of both topography and surrounding facilities. He fully expected that the master would agree with him, but he didn't expect Wei Mian to directly choose Site No. 2, which he least favored.
"Master, can you tell me why?"
Wang Dongsheng struggled inwardly for a while, but finally asked his doubts.
Wei Mian sat down at the table and said, "I remember your assistant took a lot of photos at the scene. Why don't I tell you about it based on the photos?"
Upon hearing this, the assistant quickly inserted the memory card containing the photos into the computer and turned the screen towards Wei Mian.
Moreover, he was very considerate and classified all the pictures, so Wei Mian didn't need to personally choose which piece of land the photo belonged to.
"First, let's talk about the number three site that you think is the best."
The assistant cooperated and brought out the picture of site No. 3.
"This plot of land is high on the east and low on the west. An ordinary feng shui master would simply think that the Azure Dragon is high and the White Tiger is low, making it a perfect place for a prosperous family and career. However, he overlooked one point: the direction of this residential complex."
"It's not necessarily good to have the east higher and the west lower, but it's also not necessarily unlucky. For a house facing west and east, it's not suitable to have the east higher and the west lower, because that means the mountain is weak and the direction is blocked, which means bad luck. This piece of land happens to be like that."
Wang Dongsheng looked at the pictures on the computer thoughtfully, and it seemed that there was some truth in them.
Wei Mian continued, "This is just the first point. There is also a second point."
She found a map of Qingping City on Baidu, located the area, and pointed to the blue river. "The second reason is this river," she said. "I'm sure everyone is familiar with it. It's the famous Qingshui River in Qingping City, a tributary of the Yangtze River."
Wang Dongsheng nodded, and the assistant next to him also listened attentively.
"Look at the direction of this river, especially here," Wei Mian took the mouse and circled the area where the Qingshui River and the land were adjacent with a red frame.
"The Qingshui River forms an obtuse angle here, and Site No. 3 is on the outside of that angle. This type of terrain is called a reverse-jumping water in feng shui, and it's considered an unlucky flow near a residence. This water flow appears to meander, but in reality, it doesn't curve around, but flows straight and diagonally. As an ancient text says, 'When the White Tiger's source reverses, the family's wealth will be stolen like a ghost.'"
Even if Wei Mian didn't explain, the two of them could understand what this sentence meant.
This type of terrain is not completely beyond saving, but there are other better options, so there is no need to transform the land.
Besides, it is easy to adjust the feng shui for a household, but it is a bit difficult to adjust the feng shui for a piece of land that has not yet been built, especially in a place like Qingping City.
The several feng shui formations that may be set up may have to be located in the residential area opposite, which involves some property rights or land occupation disputes, which is not so easy to resolve, so it is better to find a better option.
Wang Dongsheng and his assistant were fascinated by what they heard. It was the first time for both of them to hear the master explain it in such detail, and even provided pictures. It was so professional!
Wei Mian is very quick to absorb new things. In the past, if she wanted to see the direction of the river, she would have to walk around it, or even follow the river for a long distance, just to find out the direction of the water.
But in this world, it is much easier. Thanks to satellite maps, she can see the street scenes of many cities remotely, let alone the direction of a river.
"Now that we've discussed this part, let's move on to the first part. This first part is a typical example of low in the east and high in the west, which is the exact opposite of the second part."
"According to feng shui, 'It's better to have a blue dragon soar ten thousand feet high than a white tiger raising its head.' This means the east should be higher than the west. A crouching tiger is auspicious, but raising its head is harmful. There's even a folk saying, I don't know if you've heard of it, that 'a white tiger suppressing a blue dragon will lead to poverty for generations.'"
Such places can also be transformed by artificially intervening in the height of the terrain, filling in or even raising the low-lying areas, but the cost of doing so will not increase at all.
In fact, most places with bad feng shui can be adjusted. It’s just a matter of seeing whether the income and output are proportional and whether it is necessary.
Wang Dongsheng had actually heard of this old saying. His grandmother had once fought with someone because of this, simply because the neighbor's house was built higher than theirs. His grandmother believed that the other party did it on purpose in order to suppress their family's fortune.
"What about this second piece? What's so good about it?"
Wei Mian brought up the image of the second plot and said with a smile, "The beauty of this second plot is also that it's on water."
Seeing the two of them puzzled, Wei Mian continued, "Any place with flowing water on the left is called the Azure Dragon, a long road on the right is called the White Tiger, a muddy pond in front is called the Vermillion Bird, and hills behind is called the Black Tortoise. These are the most valuable places, and this piece of land happens to meet all the requirements."
"The four gods, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise, each occupy their own position, naturally forming the most auspicious feng shui treasure land. The Azure Dragon side of the house is most suitable for water, as it belongs to the Wood element, and water generates wood. Coincidentally, there happens to be a natural river here."
"The Vermillion Bird direction is the front of the house, representing gossip, disputes, and fighting. Therefore, tall buildings or mountains shouldn't be located in this direction, as this would create a situation where the slave bullies the master, potentially bringing legal trouble and trouble to the inhabitants. In a bustling city like ours, with its dense concentration of high-rise buildings, this isn't easy to achieve. However, by sheer coincidence, Site No. 2 faces a large square with a wide view, making tall buildings a non-issue."
"Water should flow in the direction of the Vermillion Bird. Water symbolizes an endless supply of wealth. If it gathers in front of the house to form a pond, it will become a treasure house for wealth. Look here—"
Wei Mian pointed to the place in the photo and showed it to Wang Dongsheng. He looked carefully and found that there was indeed an artificial lake there. Moreover, the water in the lake was not stagnant. It was a diversion from the Qingshui River and would flow out from the outlet later.
Wei Mian had looked up the satellite map and found that this diversion would eventually flow into the Qingshui River.
Wang Dongsheng showed his delight. Just these few points made him look at this inconspicuous piece of land No. 2 with a new respect, but he heard that Wei Mian was not done yet.
"Xuanwu refers to the mountain behind a residence. This building is clearly taller than all the surrounding buildings, practically standing directly behind Lot 2. This perfectly proves the saying 'Xuanwu holds its head high.' Living in a place like this will not only benefit your family's career development, but will also make it easier to secure help from noble people!"
"Considering these points, let's say this place is a Feng Shui treasure land!"
