Antiques with golden eyes

Li Qing'er began to realize that Gu Xinyi might not be joking, "Sister Xinyi, why have you been hiding it from everyone? If everyone knew that you had such an ability, they would definitely be impressed by you."

Gu Xinyi raised her head slightly and sighed softly, seeming to have a lot of helplessness and difficulties, "Qing'er, don't you understand?

"In our family, girls have been defined in a very limited way for a long time.

"Elders generally believe that girls only need to be well-educated and well-educated and marry into a family with whom they can marry.

“Even in family business management, there is only limited participation.

"Even if I am the most loved by my father and my second uncle, I will not be an exception. If I openly show my ability in Feng Shui metaphysics, I will definitely receive the most severe reprimand.

"They will even stop my source of income. After all, in their traditional concepts, this is not a field that girls should get involved in."

After saying that, Gu Xinyi turned around and walked to the corner of the room, gently placing a black lacquered wooden box on the desk in front of the window.

The movements were gentle and cautious, as if the box contained an extremely precious rare treasure.

Then, she slowly opened the wooden box and took out a compass from inside, which was extremely surprising.

The compass is not big, but it is well preserved and exudes a simple and mysterious atmosphere.

If Shen Yu were here at this moment, he would be greatly surprised, because the compass in Gu Xinyi's hand is exactly the same as the one in his hand.

Gu Xinyi gently touched the compass and said to Li Qing'er: "Qing'er, this compass is called the Shuang Yun Pan, and it is an old object handed down from the Five Dynasties and the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"This object is by no means as simple as an ordinary antique, but a magic weapon that has the effect of making ghosts and gods ward off changes and dispel evil spirits."

Li Qing'er said a little strangely: "Sister Xinyi, how come this compass of yours is exactly the same as the one in Qinan's hand?"

Gu Xinyi nodded, "The characteristics of the dual fortune chart itself are one yin and one yang, and the yin and yang complement each other and form an integrated whole.

"The compass in Shen Yu's hand was actually 'sold' to my second uncle through an antique dealer after I obtained the pair of fortune boards by chance.

"At that time, I also considered that the feng shui of my second uncle's house was not good, so I hoped that this compass could play a role in keeping the house in check and warding off evil spirits."

"By the way, Qing'er, do you know that in ancient times, especially before Yang Junsong in the Tang Dynasty, Feng Shui masters did not have a compass to use when reading Feng Shui.

"With just a pair of naked eyes, they can judge the good and bad luck of Feng Shui by looking at the topography of mountains and rivers, the direction of rivers and the arrangement of stars.

"From this point alone, your cousin and I's attainments and foundation in Feng Shui metaphysics are not much inferior to those of your family in Qinan.

"After all, your family in Qinan is currently unable to completely abandon the assistance of the compass and conduct accurate Feng Shui surveys independently. There is still a big gap between the advanced skills of top Feng Shui masters."

After speaking, Gu Xinyi picked up the night vision binoculars placed aside and looked out the window.

However, at this glance, she was instantly stunned.

Shen Yu suddenly opened his eyes in the yard, threw the compass in his hand back to Liao Wansan, and said loudly: "Senior Liao, I never use this thing when it comes to Feng Shui, but this plate is good, it should be an object from the late Tang Dynasty, right?" "

After saying that, Shen Yu's face was as calm as water, and he walked around the old locust tree with a steady pace.

Every time you take a step, you will listen attentively for a moment, as if you are sensing the feng shui context of this place.

When he reached a place, he leaned down slightly and picked up a dead branch. With a flick of his wrist, the dead branch moved quickly and accurately on the ground like a pen.

After a while, a circle with yin and yang fish like an innate Tai Chi diagram appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This circled place is the key point where the statue will be placed, and it is also an important node for the change of the entire Feng Shui pattern.

Afterwards, Shen Yu straightened up, looked around, and prepared to instruct everyone to carefully place the golden statue in place.

However, the nurses of the Gu family looked at me and looked at you. One by one, they all looked frightened. Their feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, and they did not dare to take a step forward.

Feng shui matters are mysterious and unpredictable, and the slightest mistake may lead to trouble. Moreover, this is a statue of Erlang Zhenjun who searched the mountains to succumb to demons. The awe and fear in their hearts made them hesitate to move forward.

The nursing home receives money from the nursing home. If there is a thief, the employer must protect the employer even if he or she has to risk his or her life.

But when it comes to Feng Shui matters, it's not their responsibility. Even if they don't step forward, no one can say anything wrong with them.

Even Liao Wansan, who had always been calm and experienced, had his brows furrowed and a look of embarrassment on his face.

Shen Yu shook his head slightly. He understood the urgency of this matter in his heart. The time was quietly approaching eleven o'clock in the evening, and the lineage of Qingniu Guan always had strict rules. People pay attention to Feng Shui and do things today. It is best not to go past midnight. This time limit, otherwise it is extremely easy to cause unpredictable variables.

Well, since no one else dares to do it, I have to go into battle myself.

After calming down, Shen Yu slowly spread his legs until they were shoulder-width apart. His posture was as straight as a loose body, and he stood firmly on the spot.

Then slowly make a fist with your right hand, not to the extreme, but leaving a little room, the fingers are gently gathered, and the thumb is bent to press just right on the second phalanx of the index finger and middle finger.

At the same time, the left hand forms a palm, with the palm facing upward, gently covering the right fist like flowing clouds and flowing water. This set of movements forms a very standard Taoist hand-over gesture.

Shen Yu looked solemn and bowed three times to the statue of Erlang Zhenjun Soushan Conquering Demons.

In the eyes of everyone, every time he bent down and knelt down, it was as if he was having a silent dialogue with the True Lord. The standard of his movements was exactly that of those old Taoist priests in Taoist temples who had been monks for decades.

In fact, it’s not too different.

Zhongzhonglou is a close disciple of Qingyunzi. Although he has not become a monk, this relationship makes Shen Yu's visit to Qingniu Temple feel like going to his own backyard. As long as he can remember, he has watched the Taoist priests worshiping the three pure and four emperors and the ancestors of the past generations every day. How seriously you study, you can read it well.

After praying, he took a deep breath and slowly approached the statue.

I saw his hands firmly holding the base of the statue. The base was thick, cold and hard, but Shen Yu's hands were like iron pliers, holding it tightly. He squatted down slightly with his legs, gathering strength, and then suddenly Using his strength, he lifted the statue straight up like the legendary overlord lifting a cauldron.

This move instantly shocked everyone present.

The nurses in the Gu family were all dumbfounded, their eyes were as big as bells, and their mouths were big enough to stuff an egg.

How much strength does it take to lift such a heavy statue?

You know, this is not simply moving, but lifting it high with its own strength.

This Mr. Shen seems to be just a white-faced scholar with a handsome face and weak hands. His stature is slightly thin, and there is no way to connect him with such a powerful force.

It is true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured!

After being placed properly, Shen Yu slowly closed his eyes, his posture was as tall as a pine tree, he held his breath and concentrated, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to sensing the changes in the surrounding aura.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of uncontrollable surprise flashed in his eyes.

Shen Yu was surprised to find that not only could he feel the changes in the aura in the house, but he could also clearly see an extremely rich golden aura curling out from the statue of Zhenjun Erlang, like golden smoke, slowly starting to flow outwards. diffusion.

Wherever this golden energy goes, the dull and oppressive wood evil that originally permeated the world has shown signs of loosening.

Even the air in the yard has changed and become alive.

The gentle breeze blew across my face, bringing an indescribable feeling of comfort.

Gu Xinyi in the room witnessed all this through the telescope and couldn't help but softly shouted "Hello".

At this moment, the pointer of the compass in her hand slowly stabilized, as if it had been cast on a body-holding spell.

All these signs indicate that Shen Yu used the pure gold statue to suppress the wood evil spirit correctly. Not only did he successfully suppress the fearful wood evil spirit of the old banyan tree, but there were even faint signs of reshaping the feng shui pattern of the house.

Gu Xinyi secretly thought to herself that from this point of view alone, she believed that with her own ability, even if she moved the statue, she would not be able to do it as easily as Shen Yu.

At best, it can only barely restrain the wood evil, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a subtle effect.

However, just when everyone thought that the Feng Shui Bureau was about to stabilize, an accident suddenly happened.

The weather suddenly changed.

With a muffled thunder, the originally clear night with few stars and moon turned gloomy.

At the same time, the magnetic needle of the compass in Liao Wansan's hand spun crazily, making a panicking buzzing sound and unable to stabilize its pointing at all.

Shen Yu was startled and subconsciously turned around to take a look.

I saw a pillar of air clearly rising from the old banyan tree. This pillar of air was mainly black in color, with faint cyan light mixed in. It was surging out from the position of the old banyan tree like a fountain, strongly resisting the evil. The powerful golden energy emitted from the statue.

The two collided in mid-air, making an invisible whistling sound, just like the duel between good and evil factions in martial arts novels.

"Could this be the Qi of wood in the Five Elements?" Shen Yu asked himself softly with some doubts. However, he immediately overturned his thoughts in his mind.

He clearly remembered reading an ancient book called "Qingnang Ling Jing" in the Qing Niu Guan Library, which recorded in detail the colors of the five elements.

The Qi of wood should be pure cyan. But the Qi pillar in front of you is mainly black and supplemented by cyan.

Black has always represented Yin energy in Feng Shui metaphysics.

"Strange, how can this old banyan tree have such a strong yin energy?" Shen Yu frowned slightly and murmured to himself the doubts in his heart.

This touched upon his intellectual blind spot again.

Shen Yu didn't understand at all why an old banyan tree had yin energy.

In the general public perception, the banyan tree is not usually regarded as a tree species with yin energy.

There is a saying that has been circulating among the people for a long time: "A Yang tree does not enter the ancestor's grave, and a Yin tree does not enter the house." The Yin tree mentioned here is the famous "Five Yin Tree" in the traditional Chinese Feng Shui theory.

Wuyin trees usually specifically refer to the five types of trees: locust, poplar, willow, mulberry, and pine.

Take the locust tree as an example, it is quite special among many trees.

Judging from the glyph shape alone, the character "槐" happens to be composed of two parts: "wood" and "ghost", so the Sophora japonica tree is also vividly called the "ghost in the tree".

In traditional concepts, it can easily breed yin and evil spirits, and even in folklore, hanged ghosts often possess locust trees.

Of course, this is just a superstitious rumor that lacks scientific basis.

However, the locust tree itself does have some unique natural characteristics.

It has lush branches and leaves, and its crown is extremely dense. On rainy days, due to its tall body and lush branches and leaves, it is more likely to be struck by lightning than other trees.

Lightning striking the ghost tree has become a legend again.

Moreover, as the locust tree grows older, its trunks often become hollow.

Of course, this is because of the unique principle of tree growth. Even if the trunk is hollow inside, as long as the bark remains intact, it can transport nutrients through the bark, thus ensuring that the old tree can continue to survive.

However, this phenomenon of being hollow but still full of vitality gives people a rather strange feeling visually.

Some people often wonder why the tree trunks are still lush and green every year even though the trunks are hollow.

Not only that, when the trunk of the locust tree is hollow, it is easy to attract small animals such as snakes, rats, weasels, etc. to live in it.

Every night, these animals move around in the tree holes, making various calls and noises, which can easily make people feel fearful and uneasy, thus deepening people's sense of mystery and fear towards the locust tree.

But this is not one of the five Yin trees, so why is there Yin energy causing trouble?

"If I had known this day, I would have regretted it earlier! If I had known this day would come, I would have learned more skills from grandpa!"

Buzz!

Just when Shen Yu was about to get out of the way, an idea flashed, and a dazzling treasure of light quickly drilled out from the top of the statue of Erlang Zhenjun Sou Shan Conquering Demons. Like a spiritual snake, it passed through Shen Yu's left hand at an extremely fast speed. It got into his body, and then started to roam freely throughout his body along his limbs.

Seeing this sudden and strange scene, Shen Yu was really frightened.

You know, in just a few hours, he has absorbed such powerful spiritual energy for the second time.

Moreover, the spiritual energy absorbed this time is no less rich and powerful than what was obtained from the old banyan tree before.

Even a lot more.

The feeling is different too!

Regardless of the spiritual energy or precious energy from before, once it enters the body, the whole body feels extremely comfortable.

This time was different. When the spiritual energy first penetrated into the body, the meridians throughout the body seemed to be inflated and almost burst.

Fortunately, it only lasted for ten seconds, so I gritted my teeth and endured it.

This time, Shen Yu was also keenly aware of something completely different from before.

When he absorbed the spiritual energy in the past, he had almost no obvious feeling. His body was like a passive container, simply accepting the spiritual energy.

But this time, the situation was completely different. It seemed that after his body felt the spiritual energy, he actively absorbed the spiritual energy of the statue of Erlang Zhenjun Sou Shan Conquering Demons.
