Chapter 3: Opening the Eyes to Yin and Yang

"I suppose so, the first ten years were like that, and for the next twelve years, my master brought me from the Northeast to Zhongnan Mountain, and I never came down again". Xiang Que turned to look east, his lips twitching as he said: "This old guy is really something else, insisting that my fate is bad and that I easily bring misfortune to my family, so he took me from my hometown to that mountain valley for over ten years. I can hardly remember what my parents look like."

To this end, Chen Sanjin specifically installed cameras on both sides after taking charge, and also assigned personnel to guard the area to ensure that there would be no errors with the mirror

After finishing his nagging, he proceeded along the path that led straight to the Chen family residence. Along the way, he did not utter a single word, his ten fingers constantly calculating within his sleeves, and his brows were mostly furrowed together.

This mirror has existed since the Chen family established their residence here; it has always hung on the door. Moreover, Chen Sanjin's father had warned him more than once before his death that this mirror must not crack, shatter, or fall. Regardless of what happens in the family, this mirror must remain intact and undamaged.

Chen Sanjin asked, "Did it take a lot of effort?"

Chen Sanjin nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed money to burn"

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Chen family mansion, Xiang Que suddenly stopped, looked up, and pointed at the two large vermilion doors, saying: "The mirror is broken"

When the head of the Chen family abdicates, they always inform their successor that the prosperity of the Chen family is closely related to the existence of these teachings

Xiang Que did not speak, and stepped into the Chen family courtyard. Chen Sanjin asked from behind: "The mirror has a problem, sir. My father once told me that mirror must not be damaged"

Then, I apologize for the trouble caused to you, sir," Chen Sanjin said sincerely

This road has existed for a long time. Initially, the people from Gujingguan informed Chen Liang that after the house was built on the mountain, a road leading directly down the mountain had to be constructed. In earlier years, it was merely a small path, but during my father's generation, it was replaced with an asphalt road. A few years ago, I renovated it again. Chen Sanjin pointed to the trees by the road and said: "According to what the people from Gujingguan told us, sixty years after the Chen family prospered, ancient trees were to be planted along the road. I collected these trees from various places; there are a total of 810 trees from the foot of the mountain to the summit, and they are regularly maintained by dedicated personnel."

Chen Sanjin nodded and said to the servant who came out to greet him, "Bring a ladder."

Let someone quickly buy another identical one to hang back up

Three vehicles did not ascend the mountain; after stopping at the foot of the mountain, they descended towards the gap. He Jinzhong was also left behind, and only Chen Sanjin followed him on foot towards the courtyard at the mountain top

Xie said: "First buy a piece to put on a show, and once the issue is resolved, I will handle it for you. At that time, this mirror will still be the same mirror."

Chen Sanjin said unknowingly: "The Chen family courtyard has always been constructed according to the instructions of our ancestors from the Ancient Well View, and all the details have been recorded. I am quite certain that the layout from the foot of the mountain to the top has not been altered in any way"

After entering the Chen family mansion, Xiang Que fell completely silent. For more than two hours, he walked back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his feet almost covering the entire estate. From the main house in the front to the rockery, garden, pond, and pavilion in the back, he traversed every place that could be walked on.

Shattered? Chen Sanjin's heart skipped a beat as he looked up to find that the mirror was still hanging there, smooth and shiny, without a single crack.

Ah, that is a must. Is the project of tiling the Great Wall a big one? The effort you put into your home is about the same as this. " Xiang, who was troubled, rubbed his head and said: "It is a bit tricky. Although it was the work of my master decades ago, it is not so easy to figure it out now. This person has clearly made a mess of your Chen family, which shows he has some skills; he is not just a minor character in the rivers and lakes.

It has certainly cost a lot to deal with your monstrous and sinister entities

Chen Sanjin asked, "Sir, are you saying that someone is scheming against us from behind?"

Xiang Que remained silent, instead closing his eyes and tracing a line from his third eye to the bridge of his nose with his index finger. After moving his eyes for a moment with both hands pressing on his eyeballs, he finally opened his eyes. Chen Sanjin, who was beside him, turned his head and was startled to see that one of Xiang Que's pupils had turned black while the other had turned white.

It is not your problem, no worries!" Chen Sanjin waved his hand, acknowledging that it was indeed not the other person's fault. He clearly saw that the moment the other person's hand touched the mirror, it shattered. He hadn't practiced the Iron Sand Palm, he merely touched it; how could there be such great force.

Chen Sanjin followed behind him and suddenly asked, "Sir, are you from Northeast China?"

In a moment, two individuals carried a ladder to the door. One person climbed up, and just as his hand touched the mirror, unexpectedly, the mirror shattered suddenly, crashing down to the ground. Startled, the man fell directly from the ladder, his face turning pale as he said: "Mr. Chen, this... I... I was just..."

The Chen family has many strange admonitions that have been passed down orally from one generation to the next, without being recorded on paper. Although Chen Sanjin's generation finds these admonitions quite perplexing, no one disregards their significance.

The latter, Chen Sanjin did not hesitate and directly set the tone: "There are those who do not want our Chen family to continue moving forward"

"Otherwise, what do you think? The feng shui of the ancient well has broken by itself? Your Chen family can at least enjoy great wealth and nobility for several generations, and you are only on the fourth generation, right? There is still a long way to go!" Xiang Que seriously patted Chen Sanjin's shoulder and said, "This means there are two possibilities: either you have offended someone, or someone does not want your Chen family to continue to flourish. Think it over yourself, and then consider these two aspects; whichever aligns is the cause."

Moreover, it is also possible that the other party intends to claim the Chen family as their own

"Why bother? I’ll just treat this as a breath of fresh air. Rest assured, I won’t hesitate. Whoever lays a hand on me will be dealt with accordingly; we cannot be lenient. The face of the ancient well is not so easy to strike." He hurriedly walked towards the mountain top, nagging at the anxious and pale-faced Xu.

Ah? Chen Sanjin was a bit bewildered

Although Chen Sanjin has adhered to a low-profile approach in recent years, the reputation of the Chen family has never existed in the eyes of the general public or businessmen. However, those at a certain level are aware of the existence of this vast commercial empire. The phrase "a tall tree catches the wind" serves as the best explanation; simply put, the Chen family's wealth is so substantial that some people wish to take advantage of it.

"I'm exhausted to death," Xu Que muttered, "Old Chen, why does your family need such a big place? It's so tiring. Are you just burning money? You're really overdoing it."

You have not been moved, but it is unknown whether you have been affected by others. "Step forward towards the mountain."

Looking towards the Chen family mansion at the mountain top, his two eyebrows kept twitching. An invisible black aura enveloped the entire mountaintop mansion, undulating constantly, and the concentration of the black aura seemed to be subtly increasing with each passing moment

However, at this moment, Chen Sanjin saw no issue with the mirror, which still hung on the door, intact and undamaged. He looked at Xiang Que with suspicion, and the latter squinted his eyes and said, "You will know once someone takes it down."
