Chapter 006: Dangerous Moves in Chess
It will definitely be too late tonight. You should first inform the people to take care of the following two matters. I will find a way to resolve this issue tomorrow, ensuring that your relocation of the grave proceeds smoothly and without incident, said Zhou Yang. First, find two pieces of opaque black cloth to cover the old grave securely, ensuring that it cannot be exposed to sunlight. Second, lay multiple layers of yellow paper on the ground inside the new grave pit, then place ancient bronze coins on each of the four corners, and finally sprinkle rosin powder on top of the yellow paper and ignite it to continue warming the pit. In the morning, cover it well with black cloth as well.
So, the second step is to use the method of "laying gold and covering silver" for remediation. Laying gold is more auspicious, and covering silver is more expensive. The five elements counteract each other, and one blessing can suppress a hundred disasters! Zhou Yang explained, "The so-called 'laying gold and covering silver' does not mean using real gold and silver, but laying gold foil paper at the bottom of the coffin, pressing copper coins at the corners, and then covering it with silver foil paper."
"Do not be so excessive, Zhou Yang. Where it is possible to show mercy, one should show mercy. Please do not make it difficult for Liu Dishi any longer!" Zhou Yang's father advised.
"Xiao Yang, what do you think of the site selection for this new cemetery?" Li Xinhua accompanied Zhou Yang in inspecting the burial site chosen by Master Liu.
"No, Dad, you don't understand. The idea of repaying kindness with kindness is nothing but deceptive nonsense. The best way to deal with such arrogant and stubborn old fools is to make them completely submit. Otherwise, they will definitely continue to bully me for being younger. If I don't deal with him, that's one thing; but if I do, I must ensure he is thoroughly corrected!" Zhou Yang has always been very opinionated and insists on his views.
The next day, Zhou Yang specifically took a day off to assist the Li brothers in re-guiding the relocation of the grave.
"You may arrange it as you wish, Xiao Yang, we will fully follow your lead!" This is because Zhou Yang, through the method of observing graves and divining their conditions, is able to predict the situation within a grave without having to open it, which has left Li Xinhua in complete admiration of him.
Indeed, Brother Zhou is right. As I grow older, my eyesight has deteriorated, and I do find it easy to misjudge things at times. Liu Dishi quickly borrowed a ladder to descend from the stage
Unfortunately, less than half a month after the relocation of the graves, County Chief Li was first suspended from his position and asked to cooperate with the disciplinary inspection commission's investigation. Subsequently, the company of Li Xinhua was adversely affected, leading to a sharp decline in sales performance
Zhou Yang's father poured another two cups of boiling water
Well, this Liu Dishi, although he does not understand the principles of observing graves and assessing qi, still possesses decent skills in locating dragon veins and examining the terrain and water. Zhou Yang stated factually, "The burial site he selected has good feng shui"
Li Xinhua resolutely stuffed the stack of money into Zhou Yang's pocket, and Zhou Yang had no choice but to accept it helplessly—after all, in the profession of a feng shui master, if you do not accept the client's money, they truly feel uneasy!
"No problem, no problem. What about the third item?" Li Xinhua asked eagerly
At this moment, Liu Dishi appeared dejected, following the driver with his head lowered.
"Sir, this is not me taking your business; it is you who willingly offered it to me, isn't that right?" Just as Zhou Yang finished speaking, his father quickly interrupted, saying, "Alright, alright, actually anyone can do it; the main thing is to ensure that the relocation of the grave goes smoothly!"
"What exactly is 'qi' in the method of observing graves and seeking energy?" Li Xinhua asked curiously.
Later, the two brothers of County Chief Li, following Zhou Yang's guidance, adjusted the terrain of the new grave, laid gold and silver, and redefined the internal and external lines of gold, choosing an auspicious time for the relocation of the grave, which indeed went smoothly.
As for this third point, it is rather troublesome. The terrain in front of the grave needs to be adjusted, " Zhou Yang said, " The ground on both sides of the grave is level, and although there is no issue, to compensate for the shortcomings of the old grave, it is necessary to raise the left side by a few inches. The left is the Azure Dragon and the right is the White Tiger; the Dragon embraces the Tiger to produce a governor, while the Tiger embraces the Dragon leads to generations of poverty. Moreover, throughout history, geomancers have reached a consensus: 'It is better for the Azure Dragon to be a thousand feet high than to let the White Tiger press down by an inch' "
Old Liu, you should inform Zhou Yang yourself; it would be better to hand this matter over to m.hetushu.com for his guidance
Zhou Yang helped County Chief Li and his brother resolve the matter of relocating graves. Although County Chief Li merely expressed his gratitude verbally, his brother Li Xinhua genuinely fulfilled his promise. Despite Zhou Yang's repeated refusals, he resolutely paid an additional 10,000 yuan as a reward.
"Yes, yes, yes, what time do you think would be suitable to move the grave?" Li Xinhua inquired
"The Method of Observing Graves and Sensing Qi? Xiao Yang, you can actually know the situation inside without digging up the grave or opening the coffin by using the Method of Observing Graves and Sensing Qi? This is truly amazing!" Li Xinhua exclaimed in astonishment
Of course! In fact, the method of observing graves and assessing energy is not some supernatural technique. Well, it's similar to when we steam buns; an experienced person can tell whether the buns are cooked just by observing the steam, while someone without experience can only lift the lid to check. However, once the lid is lifted, if the buns are not cooked, it will require additional effort to rectify the situation
I am truly sorry, but this is simply not acceptable. I cannot break the rules and allow others to criticize me!" Zhou Yang said lazily, "Unless Liu Dishi directly tells me that he no longer wants to do this task and is willing to hand it over to me, I cannot take over midway!
So, what methods can be used to remedy this? This is the main concern of Li Xinhua
The most critical issue now is how Zhou Yang can use methods and strategies to resolve that mess. If he fails, not only will he struggle to get past the Li brothers, but he will also undoubtedly become a subject of ridicule for Master Liu.
Rest assured, although there will be setbacks, I will definitely find a way to help you all get through this challenge, and perhaps your future will be even better!" Zhou Yang said confidently
Before long, Li Xinhua's driver had arrived with Liu Dishi.
First, readjust the internal and external dividing lines, which refers to the orientation of the coffin and the tombstone. Although the ancients once said, 'A slight deviation in the dividing line will lead to the loss of wealth and nobility,' adjustments should be made flexibly according to the situation. I will make precise arrangements for this. Zhou Yang said, 'The next two points will require your efforts!'
"Alright, I will have someone make the adjustments right away!" After hearing Zhou Yang's arrangements, Li Xinhua felt much more at ease: this young Zhou Yang, despite being just a middle school student, has quite a comprehensive understanding of feng shui and yin-yang...
The timing for relocating a grave is determined by the burial site and the fate of the deceased, which can be easily established. The key issue is that the original burial site had excellent feng shui, but unfortunately, it has been disturbed. If no remedial measures are taken, it will certainly have an impact on you!" Zhou Yang said solemnly
Oh, this matter, indeed, ahem, it would be better for Zhou Yang to take the lead on this! Liu Dishi did not dare to offend the two brothers, even though he felt unwilling and resentful, he could only put on a brave face and accept it.
What should we do about this * picture * book? I said, Xiaoyang, do you have any way to remedy this?" Upon hearing this, Li Xinhua felt his heart, which had just settled, rise again.
Zhou Yang originally intended to give Liu Dishi a good scolding, but upon seeing him come personally at such an old age to request to travel together, he softened his heart and decided not to say much more. Young people are often proud and fiery, unable to tolerate any grievances, yet deep down, they are still good at heart
As for this thing called 'qi', how should I put it? Although it is intangible and invisible, it is incredibly powerful, much like electricity. Even though it cannot be seen or touched, electric lights and televisions cannot function without it. If one inadvertently offends it, one might not be electrocuted but could certainly be startled into jumping high! Zhou Yang said, "I will have the opportunity to explain it to you in detail later, but today we must first complete the important task of relocating the grave."
"No problem, no problem! As long as you, my little nephew, can truly resolve this matter, everything will be negotiable!" Li Xinhua immediately arranged for a driver to pick up Master Liu Di.
"Alright, I will arrange it right away," Li Xinhua finally let out a sigh of relief. "Xiao Yang, are you sure this time it won't disrupt the feng shui?"
Once this grave is opened, the earth's energy will be released; once the energy is released, the feng shui will undoubtedly be completely destroyed! Zhou Yang sighed and said, "Ah, if only you had found a slightly more capable feng shui master back then, it wouldn't have come to this! Once the feng shui is broken, the impact is certainly unavoidable!"
