Chapter 006: Nurturing the Killing Formation
Oh? Is there also jade in this box? Zhang Wenbin, you are truly unkind. Since you have the larger one, why sell me the smaller one? Give me the larger one, and if I don't have enough money, I will give you more. It's obvious that you have never been married.
I placed the box on the coffee table and said to Ma Wenlu, "You can open it. After we arrange everything, we still need to pay our respects, as this is a deity and deserves respect. We must burn incense and sincerely worship every day so that the Bodhisattva will bless you."
I cannot respond to that. I bent down and pulled out a large box from under the counter and placed it on the counter: "If money is not an issue for you, this ornament would suit you quite well. It is a jade Guanyin; although it is not very large, Guanyin embodies compassion, which is more than enough to ward off minor spirits. However, this item is not cheap; if you really want it, I can help you load it onto your car..."
I thought for a moment that there was nothing to do, and then I smiled and said: "No problem, I will help you take it home and choose a spot for you. This Guanyin statue is quite particular; if placed incorrectly, it might have the opposite effect."
I do not know what Ma Wenlu's husband does, but judging by her wary demeanor, he must be an extraordinary individual. At present, I am solely focused on making money and do not wish to concern myself with such matters; I just want to deliver it quickly and then deposit the money in the bank
I swallowed hard, struggling to divert my gaze from the depths of her thigh: "Mao Wenlu, please don't do this. If there's nothing else, I will take my leave..."
I originally took out a jade pendant of Guan Gong, and after hearing her words, I smiled and said: "How about I exchange it for a larger one? I tell you, these jade artifacts have spirits and should not be shown to others, which is why they are wrapped in boxes. However, each box has a name and purpose, and you can choose for yourself."
One hundred thousand yuan may not mean much to Ma Wenlu, but to me, it represents my master's life-saving money
Ma Wenlu looked at me in surprise: "Zhang Wenbin, don't talk nonsense. This was done by a master my husband invited from Hong Kong. Alright, alright, quickly find a place to display it, and I'll go get the red wine. It's not easy for us old classmates to meet, we should at least have a couple of drinks..."
It is precisely for this reason that I no longer hold a grudge against Ma Wenlu for her disrespect towards me, and I even hope to encounter more customers like her
Finally, I chose the empty seat next to the television and placed the Jade Guanyin facing the main door. Regardless of anything, Ma Wenlu is still my classmate, and having spent so much money, I should help her if I can. First, I will break this negative situation before anything else.
Ma Wenlu let out a cold snort of satisfaction, just as she was about to say something more, she suddenly looked down and saw the large boxes under the counter that contained jade ornaments.
Her home is located in an upscale villa area, with the car parked in front of a villa. I followed Ma Wenlu as we got out of the car, carrying a jade ornament as I accompanied her into the villa
Ma Wenlu pouted and said, "Why are there so many requirements?"
Ma Wenlu walked into the counter, half believing my words: "Is there a spirit? Zhang Wenbin, don't try to fool me. Since I have decided to buy it, I definitely won't shortchange you. Talking about spirits, don't you feel embarrassed saying such mysterious things?"
Ma Wenlu saw the surprise on my face and couldn't help but say: "Zhang Wenbin, let me tell you, if it doesn't work, then don't blame me for turning against you. Also, there are some things you shouldn't inquire about; don't be curious about what you shouldn't know."
I looked around the Guanyin in front of me, but I couldn't figure out what was going on. As far as I remember, my master never mentioned this to me.
I stared at her foolishly, somewhat perplexed by how this woman had suddenly changed her demeanor. Just a moment ago, she had been so arrogant, yet now she had transformed into an alluring young matron, her face radiating springtime emotions. This expression of longing truly left me at a loss. Could it be that selling a piece of jade requires one to accompany it with a night of passion?
I do not know what to do
The jade Guanyin stands about one foot tall, yet it is carved with great intricacy. I placed it carefully and examined this statue of the Bodhisattva closely, feeling a deep admiration for the person who delivered the jade artifact to me. Such craftsmanship must rank among the best in the country; he must be a masterful figure. However, I have never heard of his name, nor have I seen his works elsewhere.
It is quite normal for wealthy families to pay attention to arranging feng shui, but the feng shui arrangement in Ma Wenlu's home is different, and it can even be said to be unprecedented.
I am somewhat curious: "Why do you say that? Does this have anything to do with marriage?"
Ma Wenlu leaned closer, her eyes flashing with urgency: "Zhang Wenbin, how big can the jade inside these small boxes be? Your business practices are not straightforward; a small piece of jade can sell for at most a few hundred yuan, yet you make it all seem so mysterious. Today's businessmen always like to use flashy packaging..."
When she opened the box, I casually observed the layout of the villa. As I looked around, I noticed something was amiss
Ma Wenlu nodded in agreement without any hesitation: "It's not expensive; I thought it would be over 100,000. I happen to have cash in my car, so let's go together. I'll give you the money, and then I'll drive you to my home."
The layout of this villa appears to be casual, but upon closer inspection, one can find that several pieces of furniture are arranged in an unconventional manner, and those particular pieces of furniture happen to create a feng shui arrangement for the entire living room
Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly noticed that Guanyin's eyes seemed to have changed; what were originally bright eyes now appeared to have a slight reddish hue.
I did not think much about it either; it is quite normal for such wealthy families to keep the air conditioning on 24 hours a day, after all, they have the means
I was immediately moved
Because this feng shui arrangement is one that nurtures malevolent energy
Ma Wenlu threw her head back and laughed loudly, her voice becoming sharp: "Going back? Zhang Wenbin, if you don't sleep with me tonight, don't even think about leaving here!"
I naturally had no objections and followed her out of the store while carrying the jade Guanyin
The price of the Guanyin figurine is high, sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six
It was only when I reached the roadside that I realized that the car driven by Ma Wenlu was actually a Porsche. She opened the trunk and took out seven stacks of money from a travel bag, handing them to me: "Forget it, you don't need to give me the change, consider it a tip for you. But let's agree on this first, this matter cannot be publicized, otherwise it would be detrimental to my husband's reputation"
I nodded slightly and walked to the counter to begin searching for suitable jade pieces for Ma Wenlu
A normal person would be unable to escape, yet there are still those who raise malevolent spirits at home. No wonder Ma Wenlu was haunted by a female ghost; living in such an environment, her survival is nothing short of a tremendous stroke of luck.
I turned my face and saw Ma Wenlu changing into a set of silk pajamas, her curvaceous body partially visible. She held two red wine glasses in one hand and a bottle of red wine in the other, sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at me. In a sultry voice, she said to me: "Old classmate, come have a glass of red wine. Did you used to like me? Today, while my husband is not at home, I’m giving you a chance..."
I placed the jade Guanyin into the trunk, then returned to put the money in the store, locked the door, and sat down in Ma Wenlu's Porsche
I looked at Ma Wenlu, who was taking pictures of the jade Guanyin with her phone, and asked, "Who designed the layout of your living room? It is clearly not done with good intentions"
Ma Wenlu lifted one leg, the skin deep in her thigh clearly visible: "Zhang Wenbin, do you not like me anymore?"
I pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the counter and said: "This concerns the issue of ownership; a sentient jade artifact will regard the first person to see it as its master. Old classmate, I would never deceive you, rest assured."
What is this situation again
Upon hearing this, Ma Wenlu's eyes immediately lit up: "Can you really exorcise ghosts? How much do you say it costs? I will give you the money right now. However, Zhang Wenbin, could you help me get back later? It's not easy for me to move everything home by myself..."
This foolish woman, oblivious to the danger, is on the verge of being harmed. I have observed this feng shui situation, searching for the critical point. My master once taught me about various feng shui layouts and methods to break them, but at that time, I was not in the mood to learn, which has led to some difficulties now. If the attempt to break the situation fails, it is very likely that I will be counterattacked by malevolent forces, so I must not be careless.

Zhang Wenbin, what are you looking at over there
As soon as I entered, I felt a chill; it is already the season for short sleeves, yet I did not expect their home to be so cold, it almost felt like stepping into a cellar
Ma Wenlu glanced at my waist and said: "The bigger, the more comfortable; who would want to use a smaller one when there is a bigger one..."
Now, Ma Wenlu is my benefactor, and I must not offend her under any circumstances
